Talk:The Naked and the Dead

Why did they say "Apricot"?

Hmm. i don't know why spy or TFC sniper say "apricot"

Poot (talk) 03:55, 18 January 2017 (PST)

"Apricot" was the codeword to open and close the door where the TFC Sniper was in. To make it clearer, TFC Sniper says "Apricot" to open the door. He sees through Spy's disguise and uses "Apricot" to close the door before the Spy could run off. Spy desperately tries to use the same codeword (Apricot) to open the door, but it only opens if the TFC Sniper opens it with his own voice. So that's that.

The Magical Transforming Sniper Rifle

Did anyone else notice that the TFC Sniper's rifle changes from when he is holding it (black, short scope w/ BLU lense, night vision on the side, short supressor/flash hider) to when the TF2 Sniper gets it (more closely resembles TF2 Sniper's usual rifle, even changes the model of the rifle, added the TF2 snipers huge scope, unpainted wood body). I was also annoyed that the TFC Sniper's rifle wasn't The Classic throughout the comics. RemingtonV (talk) 06:38, 23 January 2017 (PST)

I already noted this in the page's trivia while writing its transcript. Archrelico "Mexi" 03:33, 25 January 2017 (PST)

PDF download?

A bit old, but I noticed comics #5 and this one lack a .PDF download, only having a .CBR. This one doesn't even have an "art only" download option. I managed to convert #5 to a .PDF online but this file is much too large for those websites. I also tried downloading a .CBR reader app but it was malware-infested. I know I can just read it on their website, but I like to have them downloaded for offline reading. Have there been any re-uploads anywhere? Anything like that, or an easier way to convert the file? Renaming the file extension doesn't work, fyi. This isn't the end of the world for me or anything like that, it'd just be nice to have, thanks :) Astronnomical (talk) 04:07, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Barnabus Hale

Would like to apologise in advance if I'm using the talk page incorrectly, still new to the wiki thing, however, I just noticed that on the cover page that Barnabus Hale's moustache seems to be forgotten by the artist(s). Is this worth noting on the wiki page? If yes, is it better to put in notes or trivia? I really want to contribute more to the wiki but I would also like to do it properly. Thanks!

This is the correct usage of a talk page, yes, if you mean this image it seems like he has his moustache unless I'm looking at the wrong person.

Ah, great! And yes, that is the image I'm talking about. I think you are indeed looking at the wrong person. I'm not sure how to show you the zoomed in image, but Barnabus is on the top-left side of the image, below the GentleManne with the stacked hats and the original spy, next to Radigan Conagher, and above the original demoman and soldier. His son, Bilious stands on his lower right side. I hope that description is clear enough!Poplinn (talk) 00:10, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I was looking at Bilious, that should be fine to add to the Notes.
GrampaSwood (talk) 00:19, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Awesome, I'll add it in a moment then! Poplinn (talk) 00:23, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Administrator's reflection is floating on page 269

I'm not exactly sure how to do this, it's my first time, but on page 269 of the comic the administrator is floating in her reflection in the window. there should either be a reflection of the floor or her feet should touch the bottom of the window. TurtleMoose (talk) 16:15, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Lower left frame on page 168 actually ... It is a double image, but it is hard (and unnecessary, really) to determine which one of two perspectives the artist intended; from the outside looking in such that the reflected sunset reduces the Administrator's dimmer image to a shadowy sillohette, or from the inside looking out at the sunset through the Administrator's shadowy reflection. It's explositional art, and in neither case would I expect her feet to be close to the base of the window.

Welcome to the wiki.
