Feet of Clay (novel): Difference between revisions

{{quote| '''Vimes''': When we find the man responsible, somewhere at the top of the charge sheet is going to be Forcing Commander Vimes To Tip a Whole Bottle of Single Malt On The Carpet. That's a hanging offence.}}

* [[Puppet King]]: Part of the plan was to set up Nobby Nobbs as one. Fortunately he's intelligent enough that even if he didn't understand their motives he knew it was far safer to run away.

* [[Retcon]]: There's a minor continuity error; at the beginning, Angua has to introduce Cheery to Dorfl and explain what a golem is, yet later in the book Cheery tells Vimes she worked with golems at the alchemist's guild in Pseudopolis, which took place before the book started.

** Though knowing what we know about the guild of alchemists, it could just be that they have been exploded often enough not to be recognisable any more.

* [[Running Gag]]: Roderick and Keith the hippos.

** Another one features a vampire who complains to the watch every time something goes wrong at his new job. His jobs? Holy water bottler, garlic stacker, pencil maker, picket fence builder, and sunglasses tester.

** Biers is a pun on ''[[Cheers]]''.

** Drumknott's comment that if Vimes did not exist, Vetinari would have to invent him is based on a Voltaire quote.

* [[Unfortunate Name]]: Cheery Littlebottom.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Dragon

* [[Where Did We Go Wrong?]]: The poor golems.
