My 24-hour hint was even going to be "this needs two strips to solve"
A striped burrow owl? (What? This isn't a battle. (Also, I maintain that my answer was rules legal and worked!! So yours better include a birdy.))

That's V, though. Note the coloration and their casting Polymorph in the previous freakin' panel.

I thought that was a polymorphed Vaarsuvius, not an animal from Roy's bag of tricks. Or am I missing what you mean?

Not missing anything, that's just me being stupid and not realizing i had a faulty question. My bad.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Ah, I see. Still, it was a sneaky question even if some aspects didn't work, so props to you on that!
Back on track then, I suppose:

Your question Peelee.

I'll take the OQ then.
We've all heard about Calvin's explanation of "The Noodle Incident". (If not, please check it out: Calvin and Hobbes)
What are two similar food-related 'incidents' in The Order of the Stick?
Spoiler: I'll be away from my computer for the next week or so, so here's a clue:
Show
Both characters responsible are very similar to Calvin in apparent mental age: ie. around six or so.
The 'culprit' in the other case references it him/her/itself.
Spoiler: And here're the comics I had in mind. Do not open for 48 hours!

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Nope. I'm talking about stuff that goes in the other end of the Alimentary Canal, not what comes out! And Belkar's misuse of Yuk Yuk doesn't count! I mean FOOD!

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
There's food here , and a reference to it here. Do those count?

Hobbes: What about your explanation of the Noodle Incident?
Calvin: THAT WAS THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH!"
What was the Noodle Incident? We will never know. Looking for something similar here.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
DBZA for another example: "if it's anything like that Jockstrap incident, Ginyu probably buried them somewhere around here." "This is just the Jockstrap incident all over again! Right down to the Big Red Ball!"

Ok, so you're looking for characters talking about "the X incident"? Gotcha

It doesn't need to be called The Incident. It just needs to be a weird and unexplained thing that is never shown, only referenced. In short, a Noodle Incident.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Eh... that one's iffy. V's not going to get in trouble for doing that (unless the Evil Sauce Dragon has relatives bent on revenge), so it doesn't quite fit with the Lemon Pudding and Noodle incidents.
If you've got a question ready to ask, I'll allow it. Go ahead. Otherwise, keep looking.
-
Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
I didn't know V would have to get in trouble for it. You asked for noodle incidents. As far as I understood how TvTropes uses that term, I don't think it matters if Calvin gets in trouble. Heck, in fact the TvTropes page gives Vaarsuvius's adventure on the semi-elemental plane as an example. (This wasn't edited in recently, and I gave my answer without looking at that page, though if I had been stuck I might have tried to look there.)
I was going to answer a wizard student called the one who Must Not Be Toilet-Trained, but you restricted the orifices so I think it doesn't count now.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Is it about the disappearance of the orc tribe's mighty bull?
P.S. I so detest looking for strips in Don't Split the Party. There are too many storylines and I don't know if I need to go backwards or forwards to find the strip I have in mind. :smallbiggrin:
Edit: Ok, it wasn't. I took one for the team and checked the correct answers. Guess I can verify other people's guesses now. Wasn't gonna find that other one for sure.

More than 48h have passed, so it's OQ now.

You know what's fun? Odd numbers! Find me 1 comic with 3 panels of 5 cups/mugs/glasses/steins/drinking horns.

Actually, since I've been late on the last couple that lasted 24 hours, I'll go ahead and give it early: i also debated including "skulls of thine enemy" but figured that would open it to way too many potential comics.
And for a real hint, i specifically chose something to stymie you.
