I had to remind myself that Bluargh is still there... he has his place in the story, but he hadn't appeared in a while, so it seemed prudent to make sure people remember him.
Why did Glonarg and Qu'ul see the speech-bubble? I can't say honestly... Probably magic.

I enjoy the references to TOGM and Goodbye Kitty xD

As did I!

I really like the shot of Bluargh and the planet :) He looks kind of crazy amused :)

And yay for the TOGM / GBK reference! :D

Where is the beholder from again? I remember seeing it from a game somewhere, or I'm getting old, either one.

The Beholder is one of the quintessential monsters in the menagerie of Dungeons and Dragons. While many monsters in D&D were taken right out of Tolkien and Folklore (from orc, goblin and elf over trolls to dragons and hydras), the Beholder is one of the few D&D monsters that they actually have a copyright on, being that they invented it in 1975.

Ooooh I see I see, thanks for explaining (^^)
