Wondering about strip 123

[NihhusHuotAliro]

[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0123.html In the first panel of this strip, you see a mustachio man with no visible legs. What does he have on the other side of the board that says "INN"? Spider legs? Tentacles? Robot legs? Wheels? Treads? Roots like a tree, that go down to the soil through a hole in the floor? Normal stick legs, but with no pants on?]]

Come on, posters, you know you can come up with more interesting ideas of what it is behind the board.

polearms for legs

[Goosefarble]

A skirt made out of the same material as his (now that I look at it) fabulous moustache.

Legs. Why would they be anything else?

Because Haley is half-celestial.

The (indeed fabulous) moustache is actually a half-eaten biscuit, held aloft by an unseen servant spell. This is the concierge's punishment for failing to clean crumbs from his lunch break off of the counter, which were noticed by the King of Somewhere and led to him DEMANDING a room at a cleaner inn.

[Gift Jeraff]

The desk (podium?) that says "INN" IS his lower half, and the other half says "OUTT."

[Joe the Rat]

He has the Counter-Tauric template?

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Because Haley is half-celestial.

No, she's half dragon. She even said so herself!

(Guessing by the hair, she's half copper dragon)

This is gonna be one of those stories where that one random guy ends up being the big-bad evil villian, manipulating Xykon from the sideline the whole time.

I know a troper will have a name for that one.

I believe you are looking for The Man Behind The Man (tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheManBehindTheMan). :smallbiggrin:

I like it.

But I think he's half flumph. Lower half, specifically.

More precisely, it's the subtrope The Dog Was The Mastermind (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheDogWasTheMastermind).

Because it's not like that's an obtuse name or anything.

[sadeyes1111]

maybe he's a centaur

[ThePhantasm]

Maybe his lower half is invisible...

... if you get my drift ...

I'm not getting your drift, but I am getting a draft. But that might be because a certain other lower half is invisible.


The lower half of this post.

Oh, of course.

[137beth]

He's the child of Spiky/Laurin the barbed devil psion on team Tarquin,
and the half-celestial Haley!
So he's half devil and 1/4 celestial.
