In the continuation (in the book) he says only things like "Goomba roomba boo hop," on which one of the other gnomes comments, "<b>I</b> thunk ol' Melonbone coonent talk."<br /><br />I'd guess Kelly didn't think of making Melonbone talk like Grundoon until after this strip was submitted. Then when editing for the book he fixed the inconsistency by taking out the "mean mush" comment from this scene.<br /><br />I think I prefer Melonbone's later character. But seeing the line that got removed may help explain his own "mean mush" in panel three.Larry Kuenninghttp://www.qhpress.orgnoreply@blogger.com
