What does Alley Oop bring to the time travel operation? Does he just punch people hard? And is whatshername supposed to be a cavewoman or is she from the future too?

So does Ms. Nelson have telepathic powers like Nona, or did Billingsley forget how thought bubbles work? I'd say odds are 50/50.

I kind of just realized that Jamal's mom is standing in front of a canvas and easel in that last panel, which is a good way to both include a character detail (Jamal's mom does art of some sort) and also get out of having to draw the rest of that kitchen counter.

Maybe so, but a nice cookie jar and a microwave that actually looks like a microwave and not a cube with buttons on it is leaps and bounds better than what's out there now. I don't think this level of detail is necessary all the time, but I'll certainly take it when it's offered.

BAWWW-UNH!
Surgeon's Tales



The oath from the book:
"I swear on this cross and in the name of all saints to fulfill the promise I made in front of Blessed Virgin. If I break this oath, may a curse be upon me and all my descendants in seven generations."

At least so far the comic follows the book very closely and almost all text is directly from the Finnish translation. It's still an adaptation so it skips about half of the dialogue lines and lot of descriptions that add extra layers.

It was an illustrated children's paperback full of faerie tales about giants. One of them was The Brave Little Tailor I remember because I thought the belt buckle with "seven with one blow" for killing flies was hilarious.
But one of the illustrations had a giant face that looked like that one.
I also had a book of dragon faerie tales with illustrations by the same artist.

Bad Machinery is back on Monday. Still don't know whether that includes Space Is The Place or not (I suspect not, though, since the opening of the next case does rather directly tie into the end of Space Is The Place. I think the delay might be Allison creating a new, more standalone opening).
