Pages – Page 39 – Ceaseless Fables of Beyonding

#12

NOTES

First introduction to Pip, Bromance’s familiar and companion
Besmurchins rarely act on their own… so who’s controlling them?
Pip’s expression in panel 3 indicates that the search for the Lost Book has been long and fruitless

NOTES

First appearance of Bromance!
Corny inadvertently unleashes a Conundrum regarding the Overkeeper’s visor, causing a bolt of lightning
First depicted form of Bromance’s privilege, also known as a weirdsword, or variblade

NOTES

First appearance: Prince Karbunkel of Fargon. He is first seen tracing, which is a Plagiarist discipline
First appearance: Vurka, the Prince’s sycophant. Both he and Karbunkel were able to sense the Lost Book’s return to the Beyonding, which is another knowledge forbidden by the Midirian Empire
First full appearance: Overkeeper of Inway, King Reclinus V’s militia
In the Beyonding, the use of foul language causes increasingly bad breath, which attracts and frenzies the Besmurchins

NOTES

Corny opens the Lost Book, and the strip turns to color!
The Entry Pedestal to the Beyonding is visible behind Corny- this is technically the “Nearest Point”
Corny’s first words upon entering the Beyonding include “damned”; this will be relevant later

NOTES

The poster on Corny’s bedroom wall says “rapetosaurus”. The narrata border cuts it off inappropriately

NOTES

First appearance of Corny’s stepsister Daizee, who was inspired by Pete Bagge’s style
Daizee’s shirt has a Heartbreaker symbol from John’s Arm: Armageddon (2008)
Mr. Barham, a teacher at my high school who came from England, made the “rubbers/erasers” gaffe one day, and everyone lost it

NOTES

First appearance of Cornelius’s biological father Thurburt, and his stepmother Kaandra
