Transcript:
Marigold: Excuse us, goblins?
Goblins: Blaart/
Marigold: Apparently, the Queen and Dakota are having a high-stakes staring contest.
Phoebe: You got all that from "blaart?"
Marigold: "Blaart" plus context.
So Goblins can only say “Blart” and they don’t have a King who is super handsome and lives in a labyrinth and Dakota is being some kind of diplomat, perhaps ending the dispute over Pancakes vs waffles ?
I was just about to say, have you noticed Dakota doesn’t seem all that fazed to be in a room with a bunch of goblins?(But then, after dealing with Marigold, I suspect nothing fazes her anymore! :D [I wonder how she’d deal with Florence Unfortunate Nostrils…])

So why did the goblins kidnap Dakota? Do want to end the current queen’s reign and have Dakota reign them or something?

Well! Sure there’s a story behind this “staring contest”. I want to know that story. Yes, I’ll wait.

Somebody noticed that depending of your point of view the perception of who seems to be losing changes?

Maybe they got the idea from the Conan O’Brien/Andy Richter staring contests…or maybe vice-versa…

That’s an interesting balancing trick Marigold is doing in panel 1. Oh, wait. Of course. Unicorn.

Context is magic!

Judging by the expessions on their faces, it looks like Dakota-1, Queen-0.

Well, the goblins seem reasonably friendly…they were willing to tell Marigold and Phoebe what was going on.

The downside of getting an extra hour this weekend: I have to wait even longer for Heavenly Nostrils. :(
