The dwarven runes aren’t as legible as the others, but based on the sword and some of the context clues I think I’ve figured some of them out? There appear to be a lot of typos so I’m not totally sure of anything (for instance, the sword is probably supposed to say “repelmimic” but I’m pretty sure it says “rewelaiaic” instead? It’s really hard to tell.)
But for the pages I have a pretty good idea:
Page 1 (middle right)- “Never felt strong enough to fight the demon…”
Page 2 (under dwarf’s foot)- “He he he he he…”
Page 3 (bottom in stack)- “…our potato soup”
Page 4 (middle in stack)- “Kargob was here”
Page 5 (top in stack, largest fragment)- appears to be: “Argok the god of time was there to usher in a new era of fertility and change for all…” (There are a couple of r/f typos but then again I’m pretty sure it isn’t “feftility” so here we goooo)
I’m excited for an expansion on the last comic like all of you, and it looks like this is what we got 
Again I can’t attest to my deciphering, this is just what I got out of staring at it for five minutes. Still have no idea why the sword says Rewelaiaic, that one I can’t figure out.
Enjoying the dwarven runes now! I went back and checked some of the more recent dwarf comics and they haven’t shown up anywhere else, so nothing else to report. Hopefully we’ll get some more in the future!

Wait, but his eyebrow hair is brown, and I’m pretty sure that the eyebrow and beard colors are usually the same, so wouldn’t he notice waking up with a totally different beard color?
I mean, it’s not too far-fetched to assume that the mimic could get the color wrong in the middle of the night.
Error in the mouseover text: should be “by mimics”, not “my mimics”
