In 1884, meridian time personnel met
in Washington to name Spades Slick.
First words said was that only 1 Slick
could be used on Earth to not change
the 1 Slick bible. So they applied the 1
Slick and ignored the other 3 Slicks.

Make a copy of the fourth one and the place it at the end of the line. Then all the Spades Slicks begin stabbing one another until only one remains.

You stare hard enough at it and you see parts that look like the midnight crew intermission (switch to law enforcement no reason), the trollpocalypse (knife guy), the three year space flight (the part in space), and more and it's even generally in the right order.

Also the creepy murdery guy appears in the background several times before he actually starts doing the murdering. It does make a pretty good analogue to Homestuck in a weird way.

I like how she doesn't even make up a reason for taking them, like "oh yeah they're... a juju and they grant the wearer mystical powers so I brought them with me for strategic reasons."

Nope, she just took them cause they're red and shiny, 0 fucks given.

Can't decide if Rose's body has actually disappeared or just happens to not be in shot for whatever reason.

I suppose the Denizen might be able to help with this situation a little, not like it can hurt at this point.

John's blase reaction to having it confirmed that yes, all his friends are indeed dead is par for the course. If Rose can give up the ghost right in front of him and just get a frown, hearing second-hand that Dave, Jade and Karkat bit it and one of them's now shoeless isn't going to break his stride.

I think Clover is just enjoying watching Die get threatened; because in addition to being a pervert Clover is also kind of an rear end in a top hat.

Rose's corpse was lying in front of the statue, we only see it from the side. It could easily be hidden from view.

Also, i've been re-reading Homestuck and "oh darn it : (" has basically been John's reaction to every death in the comic. Even Dad only gets a forlorn look once John is revived, he's never really reacted to it at all.

John just has delayed reactions. When he found out that he was trapped in a magic video game and his Dad was missing, he didn't flip out until he discovered that Dad was a businessman rather than a street magician. When John gets really upset at how bad Con Air actually was, that was just a two-year-late reaction to his Dad's death and the destruction of this Earth. I figure John will be really upset about this in three years or so.

The three roles of APCs:
Transports.
Supply trucks.
Distractions.

I just read it as the more serious something is, the less John reacts. Which seems reasonable enough - he's a goofball, so he overreacts to little things, but it gives me an appreciation that the proverbial poo poo has gotten real when he doesn't overreact to something.

Trying really hard to act stoic and/or having no idea how to react and feeling just sort of lovely in general is a perfectly legitimate reaction to bad things happening.

I am not 100% sure of what Roxy expects the Denizen to do, nor do I know how does she know this stuff, but I'm curious about what that entails. I doubt Typheus is just going to hand John perfect mastery of timeline modification on a silver platter.

At some point that panel switched over from being 'latest pages' to 'latest update' even though the text didn't change. If you click on view all pages it'll show them one by one. That's how I figure out if the comic has updated or not:



If any of the links are blue it means I haven't read them and the comic has updated. Since, y'know, sometimes there are several updates on the same day and whatnot.
