God, I'm so tired. What the hell did I post last night?
For once I'm actually interested in a Popeye plotline. This was not the direction I was expecting this to go when it kicked off.

Well, I haven't read the rest of the story yet beyond the next few pages, but for having to assist rescuing a drowning woman by trying to land Modesty like a fish he took it quite well. I have no idea how he ends up in the end.

How did you possibly get a spoiler out of that? Is this something I would get if I paid more attention to the Modesty Blaise mythology? This is like when somebody freaks out about Game of Thrones / Breaking Bad spoilers but all I can see is a goo monster coming from between a woman's legs or some random dude getting his head bashed in.

If this were Dick Tracy I'd know it was code for 'he gets his head cut off by a razorbladed fan, and it lands in the sewer'.

But this is Modesty Blaise.

Someone asked why Modesty was hanging around this guy. It think it was really just so they could work in that fishing line rescue plan. :swoon:

Edit: If you see something that you think is veiled spoilers, pointing it out only makes them more obvious.

Isn't that how the Segway inventor died, though? He had some sort of off-road type Segway and fell off a cliff, I think.

Not the inventor, no. It was this guy, who apparently drove a Segway off a cliff (backwards, to get out of somebody else's way) less than a year after buying Segway, Inc.

SEAL Team 6 is going to fast rope onto the skull cave after the navy gets done pounding the countryside into dust with battleships and jet fighters. Inside, they will find a man in purple spandex and striped underwear dead from a self-inflicted gunshot atop great mounds of treasure. Further in they will find the Phantom's family, killed in their sleep.

Freed from their immortal tyrant, Bangala will prosper once Haliburton rebuilds the nation. Thanks, Obama!

Given the snorefest that was the last story arc, I'm really hoping this one has a bit of action to it, and that the navy angle means we might see a return of Savarna :swoon:

When they passed out body parts in the comics today, I got Cathy's nose and Dick Tracy's private parts.
I thought this was interesting: James Allen, the new writer/artist of Mark Trail, posts on Comics Curmudgeon. He had this to say about some of the new directions he wants to take the comic in...

James Allen posted:

I appreciate your kind words regarding the “direction” of this story. That being said, I also want to add… I have looked at past installments of Mark Trail and often times, the story gets “explained” early at the beginning and it’s really a matter of watching what you know is already coming (bad guys get introduced first and their motivation is explained, then Mark shows up and you already know the story).

I didn’t want to go that route. I figured on this story, just play it straight through… don’t let people know what to expect … that bit of “not knowing” may ensure that they read tomorrow … simply to see what happens.

Now, we all know Mark is a great outdoorsman, but why? what makes him a great outdoorsman? Well, as I mentioned in a post a week or so ago, not only did I want to “map out” Lost Forest a bit, but I also wanted to delve into Mark’s head and portray a few of the traits that make him the outdoorsman that he is.

ALL of this WITHOUT telling readers within the first few days what the whole story is going to be! So, DEAR READERS… come along with me … TOGETHER let’s take “Mark Trail” places, as yet unseen. Let’s take it places where you DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING right up front… and TOGETHER we may discover something… not just about Mark, but about ourselves as well.
-James

All I can say is that I look forward to the new regime!
