November 22, 2015

NOTES

  • Karbunkel is secretly visited by a messenjerk, who is (visually) inspired by Charlie Callas
  • Room (page) 252
  • Messenjerks typically commit suicide after delivering their message, so that it can’t be extorted from them; the messenjerk’s scroll compresses into a long blade to do the job (panel 5)
  • Karbunkel has changed into his “diplomat” outfit (panel 7); is Vurka reading the same paper seen in #207, or is it just a coincidence?
  • Karbunkel’s Keep is visible in panel 8

NOTES

  • Whose airship is that?

October 25, 2015

NOTES

  • Radish-Hoof’s line in panel 1 is inspired by comedian Jim Norton’s impersonation of Robert DeNiro in the 1993 drama This Boy’s Life
  • Radish-Hoof can’t remember Hugturd’s name
  • Hugturd’s business was somehow unaffected by the invasion of Skatalyx
  • Hugturd has Bromance’s variblade on a special piece of scabardine material, so it won’t cut through accidentally 
  • Radish-Hoof still carries “Mr. Blindy” (laser pointer keychain) on his horn

September 20, 2015

NOTES

  • The Hatmender Briguild is not officially sanctioned or acknowledged by Midiria; they secretly foment disharmony between peoples and nations, for their own agenda
  • Quiatas doesn’t call Refusaleth by name, to avoid his attention; he raises his visor in panel 6, revealing that he has three different forms of sight
