Haley: So then the archvillain knows exactly where it is, but we're—
Roy: Yes, yes, YES!

Panel 3

Girard: We even have a pool going over how long it will take for you to break your word and send someone.

Roy: He didn't break his word, you paranoid fool!!

Panel 4

Girard: And Soon, just in case it IS you who's standing here listening to this, let me just add this personal note:
Roy: What the hell happened between these people to turn them against each other like this?

Panel 5

Girard: It should have been you that died in that rift, you cowardly son of a bitch.

Trivia[]

  • Kraagor died while the Order of the Scribble was sealing the rift which would become Kraagor's Gate. Soon Kim gave the order to seal the gate while Kraagor was still locked in battle with the Snarl (as recounted by Shojo in #276), and Girard seems to blame Kim for Kraagor's death.
  • This strip continues the running gag of characters landing on flumphs to break their falls. In this case it was a sand sculpture of a flumph rather than the real thing, who are frankly too traumatized at this point for any further action.
  • In the final panel Belkar assumes they have accidentally destroyed Girard's Gate like Elan did to Dorukan's Gate in #118 and Miko did (not by accident, but for mistaken reasons) to Soon's Gate in #462.
  • The title is a common mishearing of the chorus to Destroyer from The Kinks' 1981 album, Give the People What They Want. The line is "Paranoia, the destroyer", not "Paranoia will destroy ya".
