Added 2023-12-22 15:00:06 +0000 UTCWelcome to the one-hundredth-and-ninety-fifth episode of the Hidden Details blog!
Have you found some obscure reference or detail in this comic? A JoJo reference? A sneaky little Loss? A callback to a previous comic? Let us know what you've found in the comments! Every detail that has been found will be added to the list below. Once everything has been found, this comic will officially be marked with "all details found".
Link to the comic for your convenience
Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There's one Loss, one Balthazar, one Miep and one crewmate. I count every tombstone seperately. Bonus comics don't count.
FIRST PANEL
1: Sans is speaking in Comic Sans, just like he does in Undertale and Deltarune.
2: There's a whole bunch of names of dead video game characters on the tombstones in this comic, so SPOILER WARNING if you don't want to know about any of of these. The ones in the first panel are Arthur Morgan (Stephanie Emperly) and John Marston.
3: Also, the tombstones in the background form loss, as pointed out by Spirit of Gotham!
SECOND PANEL
4: Tombstone names in this panel: Vesemir (Lord Circe), Joel Miller, Lee Everett and Sada (Invisible Cloud).
FIFTH PANEL
5: Tombstone names in this panel: Berri from Conker's Bad Fur Day. I'm going to give this one to Alan-Michael White because they spelled the name correct and I get the feeling that Pokedude14 didn't know who "Berry" was.
SIXTH PANEL
6: Balthazar (Jon Brouse) and Miep (Generic Hero) are accompanying Ratchet and Clank, apparently. You can see them walk away next to them.
SEVENTH PANEL
7: And finally, the last tombstone names: Varl and Eli Vance.
8: The other tombstone in this chapter is a little crewmate tombstone by the way! Good job spotting it, james malinowski!
EIGHTH PANEL
9: The plant in Wario's bedroom is dead. Wario was probably greedy enough to try to save money on water.
10: He also has a little framed picture of a bag of money in his bedroom, to really hit the point home. Found by Tolis.
Details that have not been found are marked italic.
Comments
Hey wait I got the sans one, but for some reason it put it in a reply to someone else's comment. Mobile app is janky

Wooden Plank Studios
2023-12-24 17:54:26 +0000 UTCNoticed Berri has a grave here, Imagine that wasn't Conker's favorite part of the play.
Alan-Michael White
2023-12-22 22:05:10 +0000 UTCSans playing the top half of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come is an interesting way to parallel the fact that the spirit is a personification of death in the original novel. Although it's unclear why that would be necessary when the exposed skull is never actually visible, either in this version or the original.

2023-12-22 20:16:47 +0000 UTCI like that Kazuya is giving Tiny Jin a proper burial instead of throwing him off of a volcano.
Miz Kriss
2023-12-22 18:32:18 +0000 UTCI believe there's a second Loss in the comic: the rips at the bottom of the robe of the spirit of Christmas yet to come in the first panel.
Trigger
2023-12-22 16:26:53 +0000 UTC"Berry" is on a grave in panel 5, next to the Skelebros.
Pokedude14
2023-12-22 16:01:54 +0000 UTCWhich is strange, considering in the Plankiverse, both Sada and AI Sada (and turo I think) are still alive
A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends
2023-12-22 15:10:38 +0000 UTCIs that Vesemir's grave behind Wario in panel 2?
Lord Circe
2023-12-22 15:09:16 +0000 UTCThe tombstone you can tell that sans is screwing up his lines (or lack thereof) because of his font
A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends
2023-12-22 15:09:14 +0000 UTCThere's a grave with sada on it in panel 2. Likely a reference to Prof sada from pokemon scarlet
Invisible Cloud
2023-12-22 15:07:32 +0000 UTCThe Amogus is sitting in the background next to Warios ear in panel 7. Also, Sans needs to learn to stick to the script.
james malinowski
2023-12-22 15:05:04 +0000 UTCArthur Morgan's name is on one of the tombstones. John Marston's is on the one behind his. And Berri's is on one in another panel.
