Tag: Drymouth Saga

NOTES

• Coincidentally, this strip featuring the destruction of a house was the first page produced following a period of homelessness for the artist
• The group is scattered after the coast-crawler is attacked by a Walloper
• What’s the matter with Zaz’s leg?

NOTES

• Panel 1 features Karbunkel’s Keep in Fargon, with the airship Dreadmist docked near the top
• King Reclinus V of Inway visits Karbunkel (in clandestine uniform) secretly, with his mobile throne, betraying the Allied Kingdoms
• Karbunkel intentionally offends Reclinus by assuming a more restful posture
• Is Prince Karbunkel responsible for the “Walloper” in Drymouth?

NOTES

• Zaz mishears Corny’s name in panel 6; this will become an issue as time goes on
• Zaz “knows [Essul’s] kind”?
• The “earpiece” that the coast-crawler pilot speaks into is visible in panel 5
• What knocked the coast-crawler over in the final panel?

NOTES

• First appearance: Hugturd the gemcutter, speaking a semi-constructed language
• Are Hugturd’s gloves and attire similar to those of a previously-seen character?
• Does Waywardo seem to be speaking out of character, as though someone else is speaking through him?
• Hugturd speaks clearly when offering suggestions in panel 8, indicating his sincerity

NOTES

• Plagiarists are generally despised by the good people of the Beyonding, regardless of their nation of origin (excepting the Backlands)
• Hatred of Plagiarists is so widespread and violent, false accusations of being or knowing a Plagiarist are dangerous and never challenged
• The knocking at the floor hatch makes the same sound as Cornelius’s bedroom door in the ordinary world
• What kind of house is it?

NOTES

• Faddlegas’s second line in panel 1 is a reference to Morgan Earp and the Gunfight at the OK Corral
• “Tenia” and “tenya” are pronounced ten-EE-ah and TEN-yah, respectively
• “Tenia” is a reference to Gaspar Noe’s Irreversible (2002)

NOTES

• Zaz’s gang: Heglo (panel 2), Sneza and Riv (l.-r., panel 4)
• Faddlegas simply lifts Zaz out of the trolley in panel 5

NOTES

• Shiraadh dies in a crash, and is returned to life by Refusaleth
• The Nanowing pilot wasn’t so lucky

NOTES

• “Peazum Pony” is an arcane exclamation typically used by unicorns- allegedly, “peazum” meant “lord”, or similar
• Around 1500 years ago, in Perceptive Times, Ponymus was attacked and invaded, necessitating the building of the Ponymus Wall some time after
• First appearance of Zaz, panel 8

NOTES

• Radish-Hoof’s life energy is being drained by the tormentnid on his headstone, which makes it so he cannot swear properly
• Waywardo, a clockwork automaton, knows an unusual amount about the situation (and is bitter towards Insanus)
