Who's that in the last panel?

I find it interesting that the "Mirror of Youth" reflects Ayne without the blue-grey skin coloration, but with the tattoos.

The guy in panel 7 is the historian from #317 history of the historian.

Did anyone translate the runes on the mirror?

Interesting ! And yay for the historian's return !

The mirror is the "Mirror of Youth", which probably explains why Ayne's reflection has normal skin.

Yay for the return of the historian. Maybe we history majors will be useful for something... maybe...

Also, troops in pink tutus could actually be quite frightening. Remember the Celts with their woad and...lack of clothes? Part of a battle is intimidating your opponent. Although considering I've fought Magical Girls before, I doubt I'd be intimidated by tutus...

I wonder what exactly is required to wake them? And what is with the Old elf the children and the wagon full of pumpkins?

ooh! Plot twist! coool! what will the trolls do if geb wakes them? and who's the elf lady with infant and pumpkins?

As Mithandir mentioned before, if you put your cursor over the little question mark located next to the magnifying glass, the list of people appearing in this strip will come up. Thus you would notice that Jael the Historian is the elf that is coming to the dwarf kingdom.

umm... Spam?

Anyways, great comic. I'm eager to see the effect of various people's arrivals/attacks/speeches on the king.

Pumpkins? Are pumpkins notably associated with doom?

anyone else noticed the baby in the pumpkin cart next to jael?

okay, so the question mark thingy does answer my stupid question part a. but what's with the infant??? (I can assume that the pumpkins belong to the dwarf(?) driving the cart that Jael's riding in. It still doesn't explain Jael's motives tho...

How can you not know pumpkin pie? I'm amazed. Pumpkin pie is wonderful.

I don't like pumpkin pie...

Maybe he is coming to see history in the making... again. You know, just to still be able to say "I don't have to rewrite history, I wrote the original." and other things like that. He may be at many important events, just so that he can give a first hand account.

*is extremely curious*

maybe Jael's planning to bombard the dwarfs with pumpkins. Totally out of character of course, but highly amusing nonetheless.

Anyone notice the weird fuzzy green thing in the bottom right corner..? (in the pumpkin cart) Awesome comic..! yays!

I think you're "fuzzy green thing" is a blond person's head.

...after a lengthy dip in a motel swimming pool.

(My sister is a blue-eyed blonde, but sometimes after a swim she was a blue-eyed green)

By the way, the last panel is great. The art is a perfect match for the stone trolls panel, up to and including the Legend of Daylight Saving Time "carved into ex-troll rock"

Am I the only one who connects large amount of pumpkins with Terry Pratchett and the wonderful wand that turns everything into pumpkins?

Ever dealt with splinter fey? They aren't all unintelligent. Just that some could do with a shot of ritalin. The problem is...there isn't any ritalin in the world that is.

my hair turned green once after doing many many somersaults in a pool.
Yessss...The pumpkins mean DOOOOOOM!!!
