I'm worried that someday, Planchett is going to be right--and nobody listens. (Or they listen but eat him alive for opposing the Broodhollow hivemind)

Holy poo poo, even by grizzled sage standards Granny Isquith is loving hardcore. I guess the men's club acts as a similar coping mechanism, then? Although they seem unconcerned about remembering. Hell, even their symbol, crossed spades over a skull, suggests the burying of secrets. Also, have fun being the latest cog in Broodhollow's insane workings, Mr. Author-man.

Now we have a name for it! Wonder if this means Angstrom and Wadsworth can act as the "hem" for each other, or maybe Iris and Wadsworth. Speaking of Angstrom, the second panel reminds me of this panel here. The difference seems to be that Angstrom is basically talking to himself.

Took a chance on this, and have spent all night catching up (good thing I wasn't planning on sleeping anyways, because oh boy this webcomic). Happy to say I have discovered my new favorite thing: disarmingly twee, dipping into a sickly sweetness, and then at any moment the bottom falls out for those  moments.Topical to the newest page: Mrs. Isquith just went from "awesome as hell" status to "jesus christ  ".

If anything I think the latest strip absolves her. Before it seemed like she might be behind things, but now she's just an old woman in a nightmarish situation doing what she can.

WickedHate posted:Did this not already convince you? I'm really glad she's turning out as she is - at the start it was so heavy-handed that she was a mysterious, suspicious character that it would have been a let down for her to turn out to be a baddy. It's so much better for her to not really be the all-knowing guru, but rather someone who has lived a long, long time in a twisted town, and learned to see things in that kind of elderly pragmatic "poo poo happens, poo poo has always happened, if you think it's bad now you should have seen how it was" way.

So I think this could still be a red herring, partly because otherwise the dream sequences would be a red herring--unless they're metaphorical, I guess--but mostly because Zane's going through all this terror and he still hasn't recovered any additional memories. Unless that's what the next comic's about. But whether it is or not, Dr. Angstrom was just sent to check in on Zane. Maybe his "I'm sure there's a perfectly rational explanation" attitude will apply to walking in on him clutching a blood-soaked instrument, or maybe it won't matter and Zane will panic and stab him either way.

I'm still not getting how violently assaulting someone for no reason would be the conclusion you'd jump to for "I need to be really really scared". And this is with me willfully ignoring the fact that he's already revealed the stupid 3-fanged worm things that obviously did it.

Based on the imagery I'm pretty sure the angleworm is hiding in somebody; possibly Wadsworth, possibly somebody else.

Fabricated posted:I'm still not getting how violently assaulting someone for no reason would be the conclusion you'd jump to for "I need to be really really scared". Have you tried reading the red text in thought-bubbles as Not Zane? They've always seemed to me like intruding thoughts from some hitchhiking entity. Such as the one that bursts out of his body in that most recent dream, using Zane himself as bait. Even if those red-colored thoughts aren't literally from some monster, they've always had the pattern of butting into Zane's thought process while he's trying to reassure himself that he didn't do the murder. Every time he starts to realize the common-sense stuff you're saying, that line of thought interrupts and keeps him freaked out. In this most recent comic, the red-text and the normal-text thoughts start to blend together, but that's part of what made it so unnerving to me.

I think the thing is, if you read it that way, you also have to accept that the entity has also forgotten exactly what happened. Which would be a pretty cool wrinkle, admittedly, but Harker seemed to have his memory totally intact. The other problem is that one gag where Zane shouted "what did I do in the woods" and thought "what am I doing this afternoon", which suggests that they're both his voice. RickoniX posted:and he used the cork puller to try and get it out? makes sense Except his wound is a laceration--a slice, rather than a stab.

Maybe everyone in Broodhollow has one of these things? Zane just happened to get a slightly different one. Or his body is rejecting it since he got it later in life. And so it's terrified.

It's interesting to me that Zane discovered that fear can bring the memories back, but then immediately afterward, he seemed to become infected with this worm. Since acquiring it, every time he's afraid, instead of memories, he gets more of this sinister worm. It's like whatever causes the memory loss is countered by fear, and the worm feeds on fear. By having the two predatory entities working together, they keep the town in a perpetual state of forgetful bliss. One eating the memories, and the other feeding on the fear.

I'm reading it as "the red voice is the stuff that Zane is suppressing, and the two fonts merge when it finally emerges into his conscious mind."
