Spender sports a yellow tie, therefore people's energy color are identified by their tie rather than by the level they hang around in. :colbert:

Speaking of which, the mustached man to the left of the panel, with the pink tie, looks familiar.

Well if that guy in today's page is the same guy as here, than that tie theory wouldn't really work since hes wearing a pink tie and spitting out green energy :smith:

"phphphphphphpht"? this is what you're going with?

you sure?
Also notable because he's one of the few students who even hit the dummy (while doing hadoken hands, no less).

I gotta wonder, are all of Grandpa's adult students agents? And if the other kid isn't an agent, is she part of another 'Activity Club' at the preppy academy place we've heard about previously?

Preppy academy place?

I don't think anyone of grandpa's students are from the rich kid school. Isabel was the only kid there anyway, the rest are all adults.

Johnny mentions it (Mayview Academy) in panel 4 here. I wouldn't be surprised if some future spectrals we meet are from there.

And this new page was definitely worth the wait. I love those floaty scooters/segways people are riding.

Is it just me, or did Zack give himself a cameo? On the blue level, right side, it looks like his avatar. But with a lot more hair, so, maybe not.

Manlizard is the best character.


And I'll echo his "juicy what?" -- leaping from "hweeyermz" to "worms" is hard.

So is manlizard an extreme form of possession, or is he just a dude who happens to be a lizard?

Also Spender is such an overdramatic dork. Never stop, glasses man.

Might be those two only look that freaky in dreams, too, that film-reel haircut looks equally improbable. Given Spender's whole attitude about trusting possessed people with the secrets of his special club I doubt they're regular members.

I think his trust issue is with Isaac's spirit rather than mediums as a whole, we do see a good number of them hanging out here. Remember that the thunder spirit really doesn't like Spender or his theoretical organization at all.

I just blew through the archive of this comic and am now having withdrawals. need more...

Interestingly, did she turn into a pile of sand when she left? Is the Sandman real in this universe, then?

You can see a pile of sand in the fourth panel of page 4.10, when Spender first walks out the door. I wonder if someone has to go around cleaning up after people who wake up.

Probably what the big hole in the center of the room is for. Just sweep all the people-sand into there and boom, all clean! And it's a dream world, so it's probably bottomless too.

At the bottom of the hole is the hopper they use to fill the Sandman's bag of magic sand, so they're recycling. The Dream World is a Green World.

Boss, if they make us find seven lost crystals, I'm quitting.

I just noticed this guy doesn't have a tie. His undershirt is red though, so I guess that indicates his spiritual color alignment thingywhatever? Matryoshka Doll Woman does have a blue tie on, but her hood...thing...is red. The dress codes for this place must be a nightmare.

I like to imagine Matryoshka Doll Woman is some super avid collector of said dolls and that's why she's dressed as one. Though her actually BEING a matryoshka doll is not out of the question, as we also have an adorably conflicted Lizardman/Manlizard.

Maybe both her and the manlizard are mediums, heavily into the advanced stages of their possession? That would explain the looks. I wonder what Matryoshka Lady does to fight? Split into smaller and smaller clones? Open up and engulf her target? Hmm...

Isaac did say that as a possession progresses, the medium starts to look more like the spirit...
