Ref Link: Mr. Stiks | Basphomy | Obsidian Cage | Bast.| Random Krig Ref  | Another Random Krig Ref.
Side Note: Sluggy Freelance Book 11, The Holiday Wars, contains a bonus story entitled The Holiday Overlord's Edict that connects to Basphomy, Mr. Stiks, and the Obsidian Cage.

Ref: One, two, three.
There's a lot of names mentioned in this strip. Instead of linking to them all, or asking you to go back and study Chapter 65: Mohkadun (there won't be a quiz!) I'll say this.You DO NOT need to know all the characters and events referenced to follow the story and I'll try to provide more pertinent links on a case-by-case basis as the story unfolds. But Chapter 65 is at your fingertips should you like!

Ref: The first time we find Zoe showing her parents and sister that she's not dead after two years of them thinking she might be...

Sidenote: We've seen KZK's new truename as Poopypants, Poopy Pants, and Poopy-Pants. I'm nothing if not consistently inconsistent! But I'm going for "Poopy-Pants" from here on out.

Ref: Stab A - effect | Stab B - effect.

More 'Sam' references in a comic or two.

Ref: Mini-Mart Massacre | The Strakoi cannot set foot on the "new world".

I double checked the archive just to be sure, and despite every time their paths might have crossed, Bun-bun and Frog have never met. Please let me know in the Reactions Forums if I messed that up because I’d RetCon that.

Ref: Sharon Gall [First] [Last (w/ Gwynn)] [last mentioned]
Basically we know little at this point of Gwynn & Sharon's relationship beyond that there is one.

Ref: Zoe with ballcap and shotgun...

Ref: Portal to Poland (Bialowieza Forest).

Basphomy Ref: First seen | Last seen | Last mentioned.

Ref: The Obsidian Cage (same link as last comic) | Mr. stitches and the groundwork for the escape from the Obsidian Cage are both in the Sluggy Freelance Book 11 "The Holiday Wars" bonus story entitled 'The Holiday Overlord's Edict'.

Ref: The Original Tale of Mr. Stiks (which is reprinted in today's strip). This is also one of the links from two comics ago. Reprinting the tale was the easiest way for me to remind or inform you all of who/what Mr. Stiks is.

Ref: Wilcott Wilden (first seen) (last seen) |  Meander/Chilus (first seen) (last seen).
Whelp, this wraps 'Lost and Found' and we found a LOT. So many odd characters from storties from years ago. This is a big story that ties much together. I will do my best to include all information needed for this story in the story, but will keep putting ref-links in case you all want a trip down memory lane. Onward and sideways!

Ref: "More Power! And Gwynn realized..." | King Farahn and Bug refs next comic!

Random Ref.

Does it make sense for people to be celebrating the Lemuralia Festival in a town just north-west-ish of Mt Vesuvius in 455-ish BC? I say so, but I'm not actually a historian. ;)

Ref: Fear.

Hey all! I wanted you guys to know Ozzid has shown up in previous comics from many years back. In the panels I drew him, he looked different in every single panel and I missed that he had a tail until recently. Some of you have figured out where Ozzid shows up, others perhaps have not but it will be explained. So Ozzid needed a tail, and now Ozzid has one.

Ref: "Revenge of the Brokenhearted".
Sidenote: I should remove the hyphen from "broken-hearted" in the referenced comic!

Ref: Death Magic.

Ref: Page Rip | Protection Circle. | "Quint's Death Magic."

Ref: Prozoato & Kozoaku | Kozoaku, entangled in the Fate-web changed to a demon and imprisoned in a pocket dimension by the power of Prozoato (panels 4 & 5) | (Not the first Spark Krohnus tried tying Kozoaku to the Fate Web to no avail) | The pocket dimension was The Never (panel 4) | The Never (first seen) | Rithuly of the Never (also secondary unimportant Rithuly ref). This shows up from time to time but here we see the Mohkadun 'God-Team' Pantheon symbols above a doorway.

I think that's enough references for this comic! I'm working on a Defenders Blog too, FYI.

Ref: Repeating Kozoaku's Name (Panel 5) | Farahn Repeats | Farahn Sacrifices | Kozoaku Summoned | Symachus, Farahn & Kozoaku | "A Short Time Later..."

Also, in that last link, if you don't know or remember why there's a second bug on the last ref-panel that is not in this comic's second-to-last panel, don't worry about it too much.

Ref: Recent 'Kron's Death' recap....

Ref link(s) next comic.

OK, so Maloufo's nipples are weird, his specific story is not needed for Immortal King, and the fourth panel 'break of the fourth wall' is my attempt of self deprecating humor over my inability to NOT make you guys feel like you have to read a decade of comics to understand what's going on! ;)  Speaking of things you don't need to know:
Ref: The Summoner and Maloufo.
Another neat thing you don't need to know for this story is that summoner is Riff's great-great-great-thousands-of-years-over grandma. It's TRUE!

Continuing from last comic...
Refs you do not need to know: Queen Siphaniana and Maloufo.

Ref: Delphi |  "Oh shut up, you hardly knew her."

Reminder: there will probably be no comics next week as I need to pin down scripts in a big way. Details in the headlines above.
