Have to hide the baby eating, it's unsettling for most folks.

The question is, babies of what variety?
People have pointed out in the OOTS forums that not only has he been seen walking past sunlit archways without combusting, he lacks the black speech bubbles universal among undead. I'm guessing that either he eats people ("It's not cannibalism! They're human babies!"), or it's something harmless but some member of the Order will assume that it's something gruesome and Hilarity Will Ensue. Elan being a prime candidate for that.

What if he's a lizardman, that eats VEGETABLES.

That would freak everyone out. And would explain why he eats alone. He's ashamed.

I like how happy Malak looks in the last panel. I'm willing to believe he's a decent enough guy.

I hope they include a comment during the start of a gladiator fight about Belkar actually putting ON weight during his time in training.

You know, if it wasn't for the fact the prisoners are going to die in the areana, Belkar might have a point.

Since they seem rather aware they are D&D characters, I don't see why.

Elan obviously rolled a Natural 20, and Haley obviously rolled a natural 1.

I'd be willing to lay good money that Elan has been putting some more effort into his Int score as of late. His quiptacular abilities would logically depend on that, after all.

I thought the quips were all from charisma. That's why he took Dashing Swordsman in the first place.

Dashing swordsman lets him use his charisma modifier when he makes a quip. It could be that quipping in and of itself is an inteligence check.

I don't know, but I kind of figured that delivery of the quips might be Charisma, but you'd need Intelligence to come up with them in the first place.
