NOTES

- Cornelius is shoved into a place again
#279
#278
NOTES
- Youngids aren’t permitted in Panegandee headquarters (Sevony, Canarda, southeastern Midiria)
- Zaz and Essul finally meet again
- Who grabbed Cornelius’s shoulder in panel 8?
#277
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
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)
#275
NOTES
- Zaz and Cornelius are on the train passing the massive capitol spires of Midiria
- The Dreadmist is visible in the background of panel 2
- Cornelius apologizes for no reason in panel 3
#274
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
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
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
NOTES
- 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
#270
NOTES
- The high-speed trains that circle Midiria run underneath rails that are high off the ground, but appear unsupported outside of the train stations
- He-Don returns, mentions Obarf Yuker, and experiences an old Midirian prejudice against “sea-bug eaters”
