The first racing cartoon was Wacky Races, which featured other colorful characters such as Penelope Pitstop and the two cave guys who looked like kiwi fruit.

My favorite 80s video games would have to be Joust and Crazy Climber.

What is a soothscribe? More specifically, how is a soothscribe different from a RL reporter? IIRC, the stone Quentyn and his peers touched way back when was called a soothstone, able to discern the truth about the one touching it. I wonder if that could be said of this reporter kid. Of course, it co...

Re: Still innocent (8/13)

had Lily's hair even been this dark before the "Goblin Hollow" changeover? Part of what threw me for a loop back on 8/6 was Lily having dark hair. Speculation here is that she had her hair all done up especially for the wedding. Since Ben mentions "that little place with the breakfast buffet", it w...

The glasses do look a lot like the guy in the filler pic, but the way he's dressed reminds me more of Nessie.

I *DO* want to see some wedding photos, at least. Velvet would have made a cute little ringbearer. What would the other posse have done? IIRC, the posse are invisible to most others, so that would rule them out for any publicly visible role in the wedding. I'm not sure about photographs - would the...

Not too surprising, assuming they saved themselves for marriage (which knowing RHJ they probably did). It can take newlyweds a week or two to get used to being seen by each other.

Lily seems to have had her hair done up all nicely for the wedding.

And it's nice to know the posse are still around.

Back when Nessie kenned the chest of gold in the swamp, I had raised the question of how the gold got there in the first place, and especially whether it was left there by someone who might come looking for it one day. This strip (especially the bottom left panel) suggests other possible origins for...

Okay, as long as we're debating what the heck is going on here, what time it is, and whose bed Ben just woke up in, let me throw out some more possibilities. First, it's slightly possible that the last "real" strip was this one . It's not a strong possibility, since the hair color doesn't match and ...

PETA is pretty much a terrorist organization, but so are a lot of anti-abortion activists. I don't know about PETA, but the anti-abortionists who would engage in "terrorist" activities, if by that you mean stuff like killing abortion doctors and bombing clinics, are only a small minority of the tot...

I was wondering the same thing about posse being shot. I'm not entirely clear on what happens when the posse poits someone, and it seems like not everyone in on this discussion has the same ideas either. Do they get teleported or "time-stopped"? Or do they make the poitee invisible, and if so, are t...

Lots of interesting thoughts on the sword, so here are a couple more. First, are Masters Rillcreek and Irons aware of Kestral's role in enchanting the sword? Is she involved in the testing at all? Second, however randomly it may be acting during all of this testing, recall that the one time Quentyn ...

Catching the bouquet only means the catcher will be the next one to be married. Nothing's said about who she will wed. Of course Hortense may have something or someone in mind when she did it. If catching the boquet made her the next one to be married, maybe she figures that no one else will get ma...

They don't seem to offer bear-sized grips, though. :P
Maybe they don't IRL, but in a fictional universe where bears can and do use revolvers, it would be reasonable to assume that revolvers sized and shaped for their paws do exist.

And I was wondering is "sanctuary" city is safe as it implies? Back when Quentyn and Rillcreek first arrived, there were a couple of strips about some "street kids". It would seem that there are parts of the city where one must be careful who one talks to, or which are best avoided at certain times...

In all the strips where Oggy vocalizes, there is no sound effect written next to him.... I doubt that what he says is anything like "ribbit", but could it be that whatever he says is in the ultrasound range, audible only to Rac Conians? An interesting thought. I kind of doubt it, though.

Something else I just remembered from an earlier strip - if I remember correctly, Nessie's kenning ability is limited to, or at least is much better, in the swamp where she and her Gragum captors live. If the wizards in Sanctuary City want to see a demonstration, they may have to come to her.

Looks like Jacobin got the worst of it. I think he deserves a coin or two out of the deal. Predictably enough, Sanctuary City has been mentioned. I wonder if there's a trip in the offing. Could get rather awkward if Quentyn, Kestral and Nessie ended up in the same place at the same time (and then al...
