Hidden Details: Animal Criticizing
Added 2020-10-02 14:00:06 +0000 UTCWelcome to the fifty-second 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".
The Patron who has found the most Hidden Details at the end of the year might win something nice... We still need to do the big reveal of 2019's winner, but it's happening very soon!
Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There is NO JoJo reference, ONE Loss and ONE Balthazar/Claude.
1: Haha, my island was 5 stars, briefly. It still might be. So I do have a Golden Watering Can to tend to my trash island, Daniel Myhre.
2: The brand of juice Erik is drinking (Nora) is a Norwegian brand. Since Erik is an elk, I figured he'd like Norwegian juice. Found by CrazySeanDX.
3: Yep, Dotty and Claude are having a date on the beach in the background. Correct, Zach.
4: Nook is indeed sleeping on the job in the final panel, Zanreo.
5: Yep, on the to do-list in the background are two things (barely visible): kick ass and chew bubblegum. This is, of course, a reference to Duke Nukem, but you knew that, John Hattan.
6: There's a map of the island visible as well, showing the 75% trash-area. This is actually pretty accurate. Good catch, Marwan Abunura.
7: And yes, there's a loss as well. This week, it was the mic with the little lights in the final panel behind Isabelle. Proud of you, Phloxiana.
After one week, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.
Comments
So, I know all details have been found(no italics for this one, either, so good job everyone ^^), and I saw you mentioned that the line used is from Duke Nukem. Believe it or not, the line is not from the game, but rather the game took inspiration from the late great Rowdy Roddy Piper's ad-libbed line in "They Live" in 1988. Apparently, at least according to the description of the clip of the line here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp_K8prLfso, Duke is loosely based on Nada in the film, but how Roddy Piper stayed cool af by 2011 and Duke hadn't despite it is an interesting thing to think about.

2020-10-02 14:31:57 +0000 UTCA map of the island behind Isabelle shows that most of the island except a small plot of land is considered trash, reflecting how Villager is only tending around his home.
