Ceaseless Fables of Beyonding

NOTES

• Karbunkel and Vurka are in Karbunkel’s Keep, in Fargon
• Vurka has a Delineator, the Beyondingan equivalent of a Polaroid

NOTES

• Irata, prosecutor of the Royal Court of the Kingdom of Inway, meets Radish-Hoof again
• Did Karbunkel alter the transcripts when he and Vurka visited Inway’s royal library?

NOTES

• Airships don’t crash in the Beyonding like they do on Earth, due to the belief-based flotation systems
• More of the immense Warhead is visible in panel 1
• He-Don spilt his goodies (panel 4)
• Who is the Glowborg riding in panel 9?

NOTES

• Cornelius took out a section of the cockpit wall, along with Skley
• The last panel is an homage to a key scene in The Monster Squad (1987)

NOTES

• Cornelius’ line in panel 6 is a reference to Joe “Stinky” Besser
• Using Plagiarist goggles and a laser pointer, Cornelius fashioned a lethal weapon that works like a crystol; did it work because Cornelius believed it would?
• Cornelius is careful not to use a curse word after annihilating Bloody-Butt Strangleson, in panel 9

NOTES

• First appearances (panel 1): Air Pirates Bloody-Butt Strangleson (l.) and Skley (r., checkered pants)
• The other passengers of the Dreadmist have disappeared, as well as the captain
• Why would Zaz wear Plagiarist goggles?
• In panel 9, Cornelius is talking about an idea he had way back in #32 

NOTES

• Essul is at the Epostalary, the post office on the border of Drymouth and Ponymus
• The clerk says they “lost contact with [the] air carrier”, which could be the Dreadmist

NOTES

• Who “vaporized” the captain of the Dreadmist?
• Glowbow quotes Billy Jack in panel 7
• The blankets above the cabinet Zaz is hiding in are the same as Radish-Hoof’s from #26 

NOTES

• Cornelius has developed an irrational prejudice against Glowborgs, based on falsehoods he was told
• He-Don becomes offended on behalf of the Glowborgs, and (literally) kicks Cornelius out of the hiding place

NOTES

• In Fortress Refusaleth, Quiatas suggests to his “lord” that they should cross the ocean to take Midiria
• “Holocough, Obsolesmus, Abysma, Xenihilo”
• In panel 6, Refusaleth alludes to the origin of the unicorns
• Norris Bundt (creator of the Dark House computer game) has been almost completely transformed into a besmurchin, due to his actions; he also says “dead forest” and “keylight” (panel 7)
