Link to the comic for your convenience

Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!

There's one Loss, one Balthazar, one Miep and one crewmate. Bonus comics don't count.

FIRST PANEL
1:
Because Wario's personal branding is on point, he's rocking some cool light purple pajamas and the little ball on his nightcap is yellow, to reflect his "normal" clothes.

SECOND PANEL
2:
At first I wanted to have Waluigi actually be dead, but then I realized that a Goo version of him made much more sense. And it's indeed a reference to Gooigi, Tolis!

THIRD PANEL
3:
There's a little Balthazar plush on the bed behind Wagooigi in this panel. Glad you noticed it, Spirit of Gotham!
4:
I just realized I broke continuity by drawing Pyoro in the second panel without Wario's nightcap, but the idea was that Wario's nightcap lands on Pyoro in the first panel and remains on his head until it falls off again in the fourth panel.
5:
This week's crewmate is visible in some links of one of Wagooigi's chains in this panel (right between his legs). So yes, that's "supposed to be the crewmate", Generic Hero.

FOURTH PANEL
6:
Some pawprints and a small part of a paw can be seen on the roof in this panel. They indeed belong to Miep, A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends.
7:
In the background, we can see some silhouettes of other characters that also originated from 1992/1993 (Wario's "birthyear"). They are Cammy from Street Fighter (found by Brandon Digwood) and Agahnim from A Link to the Past.
8:
I don't think Pyoro should be able to fly very well with those little arms of his, so he crashes down into the snow in this panel.

FIFTH PANEL
9:
I decided to set the past they're visiting in 1992 or 1993, the year Wario was first shown to the world in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Hence all the cool 90's fashion!
10:
This week's loss is in the wacky 90's pattern of Eggman's shirt. Good catch, Trigger!

SEVENTH PANEL

11: Captain Syrup is wearing a nametag that says Maple. Per the Mario Wiki: "When the story of Wario Land: Shake It! was revealed in the Japanese Famitsu magazine, Captain Syrup was referred to as Maple, implying that her full name is Captain Maple Syrup. However, the name Maple is never used in the game at all." So yeah, not sure if it's canon or not, Ethan Cross.
12:
Uhm... maybe Wario is just drawing Pyoro fanart in this panel, Calvin Barbanell? I wouldn't blame him, personally.
13:
I once again used a Fronk to sensor a word this week. In this case it was "shit". Found by edmg7.

All the details that have not been found are marked italic.

The only loss I could potentially see is either the windows in the 4th panel, or the general layout of the last one

Eggman being like a father to Wario could be a reference to how Eggman’s design (round body, red clothing, and mustache) was meant to be a parody of Mario
