SlothfulCobra posted:Looking at the first panel again, who are those people in the convenience store? Is the activity club doing a sleepover, or maybe some investigative "journalism"? Strange beings sometimes wander into stores to buy things. Also I don't think anyone's mentioned it, but see the [Pull] rope in the first panel and look what it's attached to upstairs.

It didn't, presumably because he's kind of a dork but I think the fact the ghost even considers it says that Max's dad has the potential, even if it never developed for whatever reason.

Well everyone has the potential to become a spectral, any regular human that gets possessed will become one eventually. Zack has also confirmed in the comments somewhere that spectral ability/color isn't genetic or anything. edit for big nerd  Probably her grandpa just has a lot of red spirit tools lying around, would explain why they happen to share the same color.

Nick_326 posted:I forget if this was posted already. It's a compilation of certain things Zack has said in the comments section. Oh my god. SaladinShui posted:Interesting that the spirit shows up on film. I mean presumably only the spectrals can see it, but still. That means the camera is actually recording it, just in a way that’s invisible to normal people, right? Zack posted:Yes. I have an idea for a chapter using this as a plot device. I think the idea is that, to spectrals, the spirits are completely real in such a way that, for example, a spectral would be able to avoid getting a tan on a sunny day by staying under a large, floating spirit. The real world and the supernatural world are sort of like two separate worlds on top of each other, with spectrals getting affected by things in both. So this is basically going to happen with Suzy I guess, unless all the theorycrafting this thread has done about Dimitri is right and he hides everything. Although I guess Suzy has never been depicted with a camera, and she wanted Max for that job, so maybe not.

Last night the creator of Vibe did a livestream with accompanying vocals by Demon Kings guy and Zack. By the end it had mostly turned into Parachat and he answered a ton of (mostly really awful) questions. Here's most of what I remember, spoilered for spoilers and meta stuff! Obvious at the end of last chapter, but Spender is juggling two or more spirits. More importantly, he is confirmed to own several ties. Zack mentioned that a lot of people have assumed that the Cousinhood is some kind of huge over-arching spectral organization, and that it's really not. Things he's been most excited to draw in the comic so far? The first appearance of Doorman, and the first page of chapter 4. Also, Doorman has a friend that we have yet to meet. He seems to really like Doorman. The main villain has not yet been introduced. This was accompanied by lots of evil laughter. Lisa runs a coffee shop within the school cafeteria, the accepted currency being Starchman Stars. Cody will become a mystery solving tween, gosh. Max's friends Sam and Doghouse will show up for one chapter. Talked about how spirits in the wild will eat ghosts and other spirits, and how spirits trapped in tools/mediums can eat ghosts/spirits of the same energy type to regenerate faster. The specific example he gave was a spirit killing it's medium and hoovering up the ghost(  ) for a quick snack, at the expense of long-term energy gain.Confirmed that he understands plot threads and basic storytelling by answering some dude's question that yes, Max will meet his mother eventually. Said he wanted to make sure he got the scene right. Someone in the stream said "don't want to pull a loss.jpg?" and he replied "yeah that." Someone asked if Isabel was an only child. His response: "Kiiiiiindaaa?" Insolent Children is skater kid music and they sing about hating their parents. Max and his dad listen to them together.

I like the little imp dude in panel six, all with his tiny fire sword and shield, fighting a rat spirit. Also hooray, the store ghosts! Edit: I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Max's dad spent/wasted the time to set up a completely ludicrous anti-theft system. Like RFID tagging every item with a unique ID, letting him know that not only did you steal an energy drink, but that you took the third lemon-lime one from the left.
