Who What Now

Nah, I can absolutely blame the older, supposedly more mature sibling for ignoring a point blank call for help from their younger and vulnerable sibling.

Sure but let's not pretend a teenager being self-centered and lovely to their younger sibling is surprising

Spender has been a consistent gently caress up throughout the series, so this page isn’t exactly a big revelation.

Frankly, it's been time to Cancel Richard Spender for a while.

(I like that about his character, though.)

I have a kind of alacrity in sinking.

I've been salty at Spender ever since he did my man Forge dirty.

Which was, by my count, approximately 862 daysyears ago.

"Go on until you're stopped."
This isn't even the first time Spender has outright ignored a cry for help from a child he was a caregiver for.

One of my favorite parts of the hijack chapter was hijacked spender being a better supportive role model than actual spender

Personally, the thing I find the most interesting about this is the subtext that comes from both Rich and Penny being queer, but Penny still being either unhatched or else in the closet.

"You still have a place in their world", says the elder sibling who was basically disowned for being gay, to the younger one who is hiding in the closet because no, she really doesn't.

"Disowned for being gay" is a bit of an assumption, but a perfectly reasonable one, and it does add an interesting dynamic to them.

I wonder if current Richard knows his sister came out.

My main point of evidence for that is his reaction when Guerra said that it's fine if he's dating a boy. He was genuinely surprised and touched that his new family accepts him having a boyfriend, which, with the context we have now, strongly implies his birth family didn't.

Edit: And, actually, rereading that page, panel four makes it pretty much explicit.

Down came the glitches and burned us in ditches and we slept after eating our dead.
Considering how image obssessed they seem, I wonder if they're against him being gay directly, but moreso just against him not marrying an important and well connected woman and having two and a half kids and putting on a good public face while just sleeping with men on the side like a reasonable person., because relationships aren't supposed to be about romance but pursuit of power.

Big lol @ Davy's cop lackeys in the background. Great alt text too.

Davy saying he just lives with Cody is a point against the "Lisa is a Jones" theory, although then again she could be living with others. Whether that theory's a thing or not, a vampire saying his wife is "no longer with us" also feels like the kind of thing Zack could later reveal has a double meaning. "No longer with us" as in "she's undead also and we're divorced", or something like that.

"SADLY no longer with us" = a rather glum woman who is living elsewhere in Zach speak. I can definitely see this.

vvv I had that thought and it might be true, although 'just me and the boy' does imply she's not living (or un-living) with them

I think Davy knows what's up with Rick and is being playful about it. So, yes, on purpose.
