Ow, my ribs. Too much laughing.

Youse guys might want to pay a little more attention. It's a flashback scene, that probably happened indoors.

I wasn't suggesting that the sky was lavender indoors. Unless you are agreeing with me, in that case, exactly. Indoors is where colors are normal.

The color of his clothes have faded cause of time and general wear and tear.

Also, characters never have a second set of clothes on their character sheet.

Forsooth.

I'm guessing the lampshade was for Redcloak's theory of O'chul having some obscure ability/feat/quality to block the truth rather than the simple answer of he just doesn't know. Still funny, especially O'chul condensing Redcloak's overblown explanation to a single panel

I'd love for some NPC, perhaps even O'chul himself to quote a line from The Duke in regards to Redcloak...

"Yer the longest winded bastard I ever met."

Loved the incarnum line. Redcloak sure is stubborn, though.

That isn't the panel I was referring to. When I started this thread, it was also true of the panel where Redcloak's dialogue starts with "And since magic cannot break you...". (And it appeared to just be Redcloak, not anything else in that panel, at least to my eye.) This seems to have since been corrected.

That doesn't explain his face. I think it's just meant to be the light being a funny colour around the rip.

As an added bonus on this, somebody already edited the page for Order of the Stick on the tropes site- to include a link to #546 noting that it includes an act of lampshade hanging with a real lampshade.

I was not previously familiar with this trope, but based on the description on the tvtropes site, the literal hanging of the lampshade seems to refer directly to the line that immediately precedes it: "Do you honestly expect me to believe such a ridiculous story?!?" Redcloak's failure to apply O'Chul's Razor is a distinct albeit related and no less funny joke.

I'll second this warning. STAY AWAY! It totally ruined my workday.
