My perspective of Mr. Spender has really changed since his rather enigmatic introduction. I rather prefer seeing more of him like this though. :v:

What's interesting to me is how different that page feels from more recent ones even just in terms of tone. It's all vaguely ominous foreshadowing played fairly straight, and while there's definitely some of the goofy sensibility I've come to associate with Paranatural (especially in hindsight, now that we've seen Spender's true face) it's a little odd seeing Spender do the mystery man thing for a whole page without devolving into a complete doofus by the end. The "night lamps" panel is a nice, weirdly creepy little bit of detail, too, which I think lends to the slightly sinister atmosphere the page has.

After reading your post I thought I had missed a secret early update, and it took me a few minutes to realize what you were talking about. In the meantime, I found out that there won't be an update 'till Friday. :(

*Edit* Hey everyone, there will be no update on Monday as I am going to a family gathering away from my artstuffs and technologies. The next page will be on Friday the 9th. Thanks for your understanding! :^)

I can't tell what I love more about this; the fact that someone they beat up was actually carrying golf trading cards, the single grape, or the fact that they're in the middle of arts and crafts while this conversation is happening.

If it (kind of) works for wine, it's got to also work for grapes themselves.

If you look closely, the tinfoil is on his desk in the previous page. Nice set up for the punchline there, Zack. You win this round.

In case anyone has forgotten, this is how Starchman deals with trouble makers in his class.

I do love how Ollie seems to be the most grounded and skeptical of the bully group. It goes against what you would expect from his character design.

Do we know of any other gingers with hair Stephen might be thinking of? I'm not sure if Jeff qualifies as "ginger" but looking over the cast page he's the only one who might fit and I feel the vagueness of Johnny's description is setting up some kind of wacky misunderstanding.
