NOTES

• The border sign references passage 4.1 in the Sacred Testament
• Cursiveres have large eyes and sensitive ears, from long periods of reading and quiet study

NOTES

• Subliminus and Zardoza are refurbishing some kind of base of operations
• Zardoza notes that Bromance is on the Path of Aga, and if they interfere, they may damage his spiritual connection to the Goddess
• Pip is no longer with Bromance

NOTES

• The attendant at the Totsuvosto terminal at Elixiry Station (Northern Midiria) is inspired by George Wendt as Norm Petersen from the TV show Cheers
• The attendant motions Zaz to the alley behind the station, possibly because he can tell she is lying to him
• A sign in the back of the station reads “If You Don’t Like Us, Try The Next Province”, and there is graffiti of YLYL (“You Laugh You Lose”, the Gravers’ motto)
• Tribb, the Shoadomite, takes away a year of Zaz’s life in exchange for two travel passes
• “Come out to Shoadom” 
• Who’s that at the rear of panel 9?

NOTES

• Quiatas finally says Refusaleth’s name?
• The subborg finally speaks (panel 7)
• Refusaleth is literally drilling himself through the Midirian continent to Fexes, the lowest point of its underside (panel 8)

NOTES

• From the mountains of Midiria, the moons of the Beyonding appear close enough to touch, like the twin moons of Yotaton visible in panels 1 and 6
• Zaz tricked Cornelius into thinking she ejected him from the cloudswatter in the previous strip, using his terror and anxiety to charge the “tension cannons” (panel 9 of #261), repelling the sky sliggan

NOTES

• Steptung has some sort of electric whip (panels 2-)
• Panel 6 has a close-up of the surface of a sky sliggan- it is covered with knife points
• Zaz suddenly kicks Cornelius out of the cloudswatter because he’s “adding too much hot air”?
• Panel 9 shows the size difference between the cloudswatter and the head of the sky sliggan 

NOTES

• Legends say that the sky sliggans were created by the Dark Unmentionable Holocough, in Perceptive Times
• Zaz’s description of Eldlyfe clears up his inspiration even more so

NOTES

• Eldlyfe formally introduces himself to Steptung as an Agratian Ascendant
• Eldlyfe’s sword is always bent unnaturally at the hilt, as seen in panel 4
  
• “Moor locks” is a reference to H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine
• Cornelius still has the picture of the young unicorns

NOTES

• Clockwork automatons similar to Waywardo are visible at the top of panel 3- carrying black paint and a brush?
• Nefaria is Karbunkel’s mother? How could that be possible, unless childbirth is not necessarily physical in the Beyonding? Perhaps it can be done by belief alone?
