Um, where IS Tillicum? Didn't she and Boltar get hitched and she had a baby but hasn't appeared for a while? Is she still with Aleta or living with the mighty Vikings and keeping their asses in gear?

I think she’s hanging out with original Prince Arn and Sir Geoffrey Arf and Sir Gawain the old flea-bitten dog in the Land of Characters the Author Forgot About.

I’ve completely forgotten his name, but the guy who’s the rightful heir to some castle but willingly burned the proof and is now Val’s squire who teaches silly jokes to horses is probably there, too.

Wouldn't Gawain the dog be at Arn's foster home? And Tillicum staying home with a very young kid while Boltar does life or death stuff checks out.

We saw Hap-Atla’s place a couple of weeks ago and no mention was made of the dog. That bullying princess who had a crush on Arn wasn’t mentioned but I think she was in the background.

We had a story arc a few months back about everyone masturbating to the same romance book so tragically this is very false.

This one actually makes me feel all cozy, I saw my uncle make this joke once with his wife back when they owned a business together. I'd forgotten about that.

...of course thinking further that might count as embezzlement. Depends what it's being used for. This isn't a "loan" you can just write off as a gift, Kevin!

Seriously, how long has it been since they offered Bernice to stay in their home? Bernice doesn't have a job so she doesn't pay rent, doesn't give money for groceries, doesn't share in the bills. She's had more than enough time to either find a part-time job, find a new room to stay in the dorms, or bite the bullet and go back to her parents' place.

What I'm saying is loving kick Bernice to the curb already.

Okay, so Holbrook can draw aged-up versions of the kid characters with grown-up proportions if he wanted to. He just actively chooses to keep Rudy and his age group look like middle schoolers. :argh:

Barry is putting a lot of Brut on. Thank goodness he’s got such a big bottle. Just amazing.

In one of his old blog posts - that I haven't been able to find despite my best efforts - Allison was re-drawing some of his older material as an artistic exercise, refining character design and frame composition and the like. On one strip, he made the observation/admission that, for much of his SGR era "No one was working harder to draw a woman sticking her arse out at an unnatural angle." It was a young artist's tic, he's copped to it, he employs the Male Gaze much more sparingly now (and almost always in purpose of a gag or a story beat.)

I usually gloss over Holbrook - for my health/sanity - but I caught a stray this morning and it's been bugging me all day. A guy who writes multiple comics where "Science" is presented in a way that's basically Magic, but with less internal logic than Harry Potter Magic, saying "But I know a basic science fact :smug:" I don't know why I never caught that Holbrook was operating in "I f&$king love science bro" territory before, but here we are.

Tiggum posted:

The Phantom first learned Savarna was a prisoner and decided to go rescue her, and Mozz saw his vision of the future, in To Wrack and Ruin in Gravelines, which began back in May of 2021. Everything since then has been about the Phantom rescuing Savarna from Gravelines or Mozz warning him not to. But you could trace it all the way back to Then Came Towns Ellerbee, in which the Phantom rescued a different prisoner from Gravelines and we first learned that Savarna was there in February of 2021 (although the Phantom was unaware of that fact at the time). There was just a short intermission (Hello the Himalayas) between that story and the beginning of To Wrack and Ruin in Gravelines in which Heloise wrote (but did not send) a letter to her brother. It was foreshadowed even earlier though, in The Llongo Forest in which the Phantom visits "the woods that make men mad" and sees a vision of his own death, which is later confirmed as accurate by Mozz's prophecy.
