Erfworld/Trivia

"Wanda: "If you're croaked, and that is no joke, you pass the yoke of Chief to a bloke named Fritz..."
 * Shout Out: It is easier to list pages that don't have shoutouts to something or other; for instance, Parson once said that when it comes to helping his own cause, Stanley is "somewhere between Gilligan and Starscream."
 * Some of them are pretty obscure, like the words in Wanda's spell here; one could almost say this thing is inundated with shout outs.
 * During a Text update in Book Two, it is revealed that "Spacerock the City" (sic), Jetstone's capital, was originally the capital of Spacerock the Side, ruled by Spacerock the King, who was finally defeated in Spacerock the Battle.
 * One notable example shouts out to Rob Balder's other webcomic, Partially Clips.
 * Entire characters show up as one-time references, like "Captain Archer."
 * The Lock and Load Montage is full of shoutouts to The Legend of Zelda -- a bomb, a Piece of Heart, a Power Bracelet, Hylian Shield, the Master Sword, and what may be the Ice Wand and Boomerang are all scattered around the armory. Also, Shredder's armor can be seen (with Parson taking the right armpiece), and the staff he ends up carrying is Skeletor's. Note that this is the same staff Wanda used towards the end of Book One.
 * The sword he takes is actually either Aragorn or Gandalf's from LOTR.
 * "Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances."
 * On page 53 of the first book, one of the Crap Golems in the first panel looks surprisingly like a certain amorph mercenary.
 * And during a counter attack in Gobwin Knob tunnels, one crap golem looks like Hedorah - a toxic monster from an old Godzilla movie
 * A caster from the magic kingdom talking about fate to Parson is a shoutout to George Harrison on the Beatles Sgt. Peppers lonely hearts club band album cover.
 * He's also named Jojo Jeftichew, and is a rather hairy Carnymancer
 * A multi-layered one when Jillian arrives in Aqua Velva and guts one of the governor's pet fish for food. Turns out it was his favorite and named Wanda, the parallels to the actual movie, the titular fish, and the love triangle involving the duplicitous "Wanda" characters are numerous.
 * It may be unintentional but one could make the argument that it's a shout-out to the The Fairly Odd Parents. In that show, Wanda is a fairy who often shapeshifts into the form of a goldfish.
 * In the background of page 66, one of the Thinkamancers with Mister Rogers is Apostle Sanaki.
 * Anima, the Spy, the Spanish Inquisition, Mary Poppins and Jade can be found in the background on page 67. Hermione Granger is on page 60 with Cinderella's Fairy Godmother. The group of thinkamancers also includes Vaarsuvius.
 * The jetstone hat magician pulls bun-bun out of a hat.
 * While Ansom parleys with Ossomer and Tramessis, Jack disguises himself as a Dragoon.
 * Wanda experiments with dance-fighting:

Un-Tommy: "Pooda onga riiish!""


 * Psycho Mantis, Zelda, and several others appear in one of the text updates for Book 2.
 * A very easy-to-miss shoutout, Book 2's 15th text update has Duke Antium's full name as Adam Antium.
