    Trivial Pursuit in the Larkin household is rough, man.

    Good luck trying to outsmart Trevor,
    Cause we know he’s ever so clever.

      His brain is so smart
      His thoughts works of art
      His wits your best arguments will sever

      Even though you may seek to endeavour,
      Nothing you say can beat magical Treavor.
      His words are a swirl,
      Your brain will surely curl,
      And ooze out your ears,
      To fresh rounds of cheers,
      Leaving you feeling slightly under the weather!

      …He doesn’t have to because he’s already figured it out.

    Glon is looking a little out of his league. At least on literary trivia

    An Orcish hero and a young smith.

    Basically he told them *exactly* who he is.

    Kinda reminds me of Supernatural, except, no one ever seems to catch the references to their fake names!

    For some reason, my head replaced the words in panel 2 with, "P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney".

        Could be the result of a cartoon binge, or you’ve been a mostly willing victim of spending too much time around hyper kids. Or spending too much time on the innocent meme side of the internet. All can cause the temporary effect of dementia like episodes. I recommend a media palette cleanse to speed recovery.

          De-mentia the first wife to the second wife, even though they are the same person 😀

            I don’t think I’ve got multiple personality disorder, but me & myself disagree on that.

    Sounds like Glon’s pretty well-read. *goes off to speculate on where/when he got that educated*

      His mother or his academic wife would have told him the orc legend and his adopted father the blacksmith would have given him a children’s book featuring a smith

    But it’s quite common to name people after characters in heroic myths/religious stories. Ulysses Grant (yes, it was originally his middle name), I know people named Hector, Jason, etc, and there are LOTS of people running around with biblical names like Joshua, Mary, Paul, et al.

    Granted, the hesitation before Glon gave a name is a big clue that he was making it up, and if Oljahv is an unusual name that’s a tip-off too. Especially if Trevor actually knows who Glon is and the "you picked a heroic young smith’s name?" comment is his subtle way of telling Glon he knows…

    Even if Glon could fool Trever, he ain’t fooling us 😀

    Leland is either older than he looks, was a writing prodigy, or Glon did not read that book as a child…

      Glon has kids, so he might have read the book to his own children.

    ‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.

    What?
    Hey, manufactured words & insanity go hand in glove with Lewis Carrol’s work.

      actually, a fair amount of what you said WEREN’T manufactured words for Carrol’s stuff, but English has changed a lot over the centuries.

      nowadays people just don’t know what the hell most of them mean anymore.
