Fabricated posted:The bats were weird because the Bottlefly Boys literally seemed to see them AS normal bats while it was all going on. Zane yells that they're the size of cars, and one of them turns around and laughs and says, "If they were, we'd be in trouble!" The line was more like "they're almost the size of cars!" and one of them says "if they WERE the size of cars, then we'd be in trouble!" It was sarcasm/bravado, they didn't think they were just punching regular sized bats.

Hmm. Seems like he's getting a little too confident here and that's surely going to bite him in the rear end, but I guess it really did go a long way to have somebody confirm that he wasn't the only crazy one. Seems they both (and Iris too?) remember the thing in the woods so...that's progress, I guess? But still no explanation as to what happened in the cavern.

It's a shame that he doesn't remember that the pattern helped the stitched together monster in. So yeah, this is going to bite him hard.

Wow, you can really see that panic setting in around panel 3. That is the face of a man who has seen things. And actually remembered them, for once. And so it sounds like the lake is just a big empty crater now?

Oh, and so I notice the background of the site has changed again. For the new book we've got darkness with streaks of light coming in from the sides. Like the water themed one we had last time, I assume the meaning will only become obvious once whatever major thing's going to happen actually happens.

Either that, or the temple or whatever it was is flooded now. Zoe posted:Oh, and so I notice the background of the site has changed again. For the new book we've got darkness with streaks of light coming in from the sides. I kinda wish the backgrounds were tied to the chapters rather than just being replaced outright. Like the water themed one would be bound to chapter 2 and so on.

Update Congrats on the promotion Iris, I'm sure it it'll be fun and involve lots of bake sales and tea parties and absolutely no jealous old ladies or bequeathals of dark secrets at all. ...and it's amazing how the phrase 'the old ways' pretty much always sounds ominous no matter what the context.

My notebook and my tablet are serviceable enough for flighty little modern things. But when it comes time for true computing I go to the darkest corner of my home, where hunched upon my desk is the ancient beast still given life by XP according to the Old Ways.

The coin flips are opposite from the preceding flip over 80% of the time - a truly random coin would be 50%. Across almost a hundred trials, I can conclusively say that - statistically speaking - something is hosed up. However, human-generated 'random' sequences tend to swap far more often than they should, so this could just be a mistake or a hallucinatory coin. quote:Why is the first thing I noticed that neither Heads nor Tails ever comes up 3+ times in a row?

Straub in the comments says "I flipped the coins last time I was in West Virginia." So either he did this and got a sequence that doesn't seem random (maybe the coin he was using is weighted), or it's uh...a joke I'm not getting.

Isn't Broodhollow meant to be in West Virginia? I'd guess he's emphasizing location to imply that the non-random pattern is a supernatural thing. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some sort of code there (perhaps with the pattern of exclamation marks relevant). He's just saying so obliquely to avoid giving stuff away.

Personally, I'm interested in the pattern of heads and tails, and the fact that there seems to be a pattern for him stating the outcome and exclaiming the outcome. We've seen that "the pattern" is real, as far as the comic goes, so this seems like something we're obviously supposed to catch on to.

Zane doesn't understand it as much as he thinks he does but he was correct about partially open doors, even if it turned out shutting everything just shut out Maddy from protecting him.

The blurriness of the line between Zane's OCD, the actual supernatural, and the town's traditions is a big part of Broodhollow. Any given pattern might or might NOT be a supernatural thing -- that uncertainty is a big part of the horror.

This, and if you remember the "right turn/left turn" thing from the first book, yeah, patterns are a real thing in this comic.

Holy poo poo. Wadsworth is a badass now. ...I just hope all this new found confidence doesn't eventually backfire horribly. (oh who am I kidding of course it will...) I'm sure there are a things in Broodhollow one really should maintain a healthy fear of. Interesting that all the ghosts seemed to be clustered around that one spot.
