Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
The most coherent explanation I have for that scene is that Durkon said it with a really deep accent (maybe like "Mass Deff Wourd"), and the celestials misheard it.
An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
Imean, in-comic, it's an invented spell that Durkon never tried before that Thor and his staff presumably never heard before. I have no problem with it failing through narrative with all that going on.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
i just just noticed that roy's little brother is playing with black dragon toy foreshadowing the appearance of the black dragon 26 pages later.
It's "locksmith of LOVE!" not "LO!"

I've just noticed that in #809, where Roy is putting his armour back on, the shirt is two-dimensional and flat, as it it were an outfit for a paper doll.

It isn't a shirt, it's armour. It has a front plate and a back plate. You can see the back plate as a blue line on Roy's left side.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
I used the term "shirt" only to refer to the torso part (i.e. not the shoulders or legs). I wasn't thinking of a chain shirt, but it was a bad choice of words on my part.
But substitute the word "shirt" for "plate", and my point still stands: the front plate is drawn as absolutely flat with no curve to it, suggesting Roy has a similarly 2D torso. It sort of suits a stick-person, of course.

Don't even know if this is intentional, or how common they would be in the first place, but I just realized that in 1170, Thor basically got Hel to concede the souls of any dwarves who theoretically might have been killed by Familicide.

There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
As I recall, he explicitly said that black dragons *had* mated with other species of humanoid before, just not humans (and that other kinds of dragons had mated with humans as well)?
(I also recall it being a sort of off the cuff, spite-based Word of God retcon designed to shut up a rather tedious, nitpicky argument on another thread, but I understand that doesn't necessarily make it less canon)
But either way, yes, the odds are very low, but it's nice that any theoretical statistical outliers were saved.

I think he's just referring to the Cliffport side quest involving Nale and Julia.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
Not sure if this fits in here as it was certainly something I noticed, but did not give a tremendous amount of thought to:
In https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0830.html Redcloak takes Tsukiko's ring away from her because it was protecting her from the wights' touch. Anyone have any ideas on whether that will possibly give Redcloak some sort of protection if he winds up throwing down directly with Xykon?This space for rent.

…I mean Redcloak can just cast Death Ward on himself but it might come into play yeah.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
Just spotted the names of the gelatinous cubes in the race in #1114
"Dessert Rider": possibly a reference to the near eastern desert Lokum,
which often is cube-shaped, gelatinous and half-transparent
"Jiggly Picasso": because Picasso was … a Cubist!

I've definitely noticed this before, but didn't figure out how to word it until now: I really like this strip for how the three particular members of the Order express their appreciation for Kenny Rogers, all for specific, perfectly-in-character reasons: Haley because she's a gambler; Elan because he's a bard; and Belkar because he has a sophisticated halfling palate.

When Durkon retrieves the Hammer of Loki Sucks, he says "It's aboot time fer some destruction." Then, it turns out his plan to stop Hel hinges on actual destruction, in a very literal sense. Pretty neat way to fulfill the prophecy.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
I have to admit I did not quite get the Jiggly Picasso thing. I found it funny at the time and that was enough. Thanks for actually spelling out the joke.
However I am pretty sure you are over-complicating the "Dessert Rider" joke. The phrase "Desert Rider" had a familiar ring to it. I suspect I heard it as an apparently rather unsuccessful racehorse: Desert Rider. I am not interested in racehorsing but I imagine I did hear the name back when I used to listen to the radio a lot.
I suspect the original reference is to desert racing.
However my guess is that the Giant was thinking of the 1923 Silent film.Ever wondered how many games are mentioned in the comic? I have listed them all in a geeklist: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/2...es-order-stick
