June 13, 2016

NOTES

  • Quiatas and Mogrum meet in a secret sanctorum away from Fortress Refusaleth, reachable only through the Darkness
  • Quiatas has temporal sight; the ability to observe infinitesimal passages of time
  • Quiatas can also isolate a moment of time within a resinate crystal, which in this instance is yellow, making the image suspect
  • “A man seated before a lighted picture box” depicts the moment the Bad Idea crossed with Bad Intentions, which is something that happened in our reality that created Refusaleth in the Beyonding; it’s a man (who seems like Refusaleth, according to Quiatas) sitting in a recliner chair in front of a television with a VCR hooked up to it (panel 8)
  • Quiatas carelessly speaks Refusaleth’s name aloud, allowing Refusaleth to hear him

#278

May 29, 2016

#277

May 22, 2016

NOTES

  • Everywhere in the Beyonding that Bromance has been, is etched upon his back; this is alluded to on pages #191 and #196
  • The scar from when Curdelbludd blasted a hole through Bromance’s shoulder in #73 is visible in panel 6
  • Bromance and Umbrage form the Beyondingan parallelogram in panel 9
  • Radish-Hoof respectfully addresses Irata as “Peer”, to rebuild his self-esteem; this is general unicorn behavior, and the reason most people want to be around them

#276

May 15, 2016

NOTES

  • “Why not make your usual entrance?”
  • “We had a break-in”; Karbunkel’s piece of the Prime Resinate exploded from its hiding place in the Keep, violently attracted by Refusaleth’s centrifugal force 
  • Panel 4 alludes to the recent passing of Prince Rogers Nelson (1958-2016)

  • Cornelius apologizes for no reason in panel 3

#274

May 1, 2016

NOTES

  • Shiraadh returns to Fortress Refusaleth
  • When the Resinatus bring in the pieces of the Prime Resinate, Refusaleth spins into a vortex, consuming them and the Norris Bundt besmurchin, and smashing the subborg into a wall
  • Shiraadh barely survives, and the force of the centrifuge dislocates her jaw (panel 10)

#273

April 25, 2016

NOTES

  • Lampstones can get hot, necessitating the use of wire lamp-baskets
  • Zaz is using plagiarist goggles to read a tiny book… which came from where?
  • Zaz’s mother raised cattle (sortle) on this farm before meeting Zaz’s father; this is probably in Safrom Tattra (province on the Nardic Coast of Midiria)
  • Sortle are visible in panel 5
  • Zaz digs up the third fragment of the Prime Resinate (“i”); who buried it there?
  • Cornelius calls Zazmene by her full name as the Resinatus appear (under Refusaleth’s command)

#272

April 17, 2016

NOTES

  • Refusaleth has drilled through the Midirian continent, all the way to Fexes
  • The funnel-like Lowest Point is visible in panel 2
  • The Great Beast Nadira is spoken of in the Sacred Testament; she resides in the very Lowest Point and is colossal in size and mass
  • Like Reclinus V, Nadira is based upon a “classic” John’s Arm villain
  • To ensure that Refusaleth takes revenge upon Aga Regata for her, Nadira sticks a tiny shard of herself above Refusaleth’s right eyeball (panel 9)

#271

April 10, 2016

  • Waywardo has been maniplacated; some of his memories are deleted
  • Insanus’s modified Walloper takes design cues and colors from Omega Supreme, as well as the Pretender Skullgrin (Transformers)
  • Insanus senses Karbunkel’s influence in the U-Lex found by Kudo
