Max, you really need to pay a bit more attention when your sister's eavesdropping.

Max ain't really good at these type of talks is he. Hahaha who was the goon who said squeaky dog followed Isabel all the way to the store. Also Max not seeing Isabel like a friend yet is understandable. How long have they known each other? What 3 days maybe?

And she lies even about having been scared of dogs before. This series is kind of dark with all the lying.

Yeah, Max is a little guarded but he seems open to them being friends here. He's probably just not used to the accelerated rate of friend-making involved in fighting demon-dogs.

Well that pretty firmly killed any hope of Squeakdog being the umbrella spirit. Fortunately it seems like he wasn't just a weird throwaway gag or else he probably wouldn't have been mentioned again, so hooray for more dog.

Max and Isabel have a pretty amusing dynamic. We need more Max and Isabel bro-ops.

Ed seriously needs a little more flesh on him as a character is my one complaint at this point. I'm already kind of bored of him.

Seriously, I'm struggling to think of a character that hasn't been awesome so far. Yeah, sure, Ed needs more screen time and development, but I think that's because the bar is set so high, what with all the other characters.

Max can see it, and there's no way umbrella spirit would be out of its tool barely five minutes after Isabel received it.

It was already pretty obviously not true given that even Isabel would only be able to see the spirit in its hyperbolic time chamber thing, and there was no weird colour filter or anything when squeakdog showed up.

Ed's character definitely has more to it, it's just that a big part of his personality is trying to hide any depth whatsoever, so we haven't had much opportunity to see it. See here and here.

The main thing happening with Ed most recently is this two page sequence where he takes Isabel's hand when she's feeling abandoned and then immediately abandons her when things get serious. He's a coward when it comes to interpersonal things, and his goofiness is part of how he hides. I think you can see in this page that it's had a negative impact on his friendship with Isabel, though the moment gets overshadowed by the Zarei stuff.

As someone who was once a kid who hid nervousness behind wackiness and shenanigans, I can definitely see that in Ed.

Hmm. I noticed Ed ditching Isabel when things got heated, but I didn't think much of it until now. I suppose this is why she went to see Max. He's the only person so far to have her starboard when things got somewhat serious.

He's also the first to offer any condolences for Eightfold, even if he approached it with a 12 year old's tact.

I think the infinite continues thing was mentioned, but good catch on the demon that looks like a puppy. I'm now a lot more suspicious of squeaky dog's intentions.
