the look on the dude's face on page 19 is super creepy.


Good lord, I've read that page three or four times, and only just now I actually noticed Miles and the drunk girl in the second to last panel. I'm...I'm part of the problem too aren't I? :ohdear:

Time to set another Adblock frame filter for another comments section.

It looks like they have it set up where the comments default as hidden. Out of sight, out of mind.

I still think it's fifty-fifty on being murder-time or recruitment pitch.

My copy of Book One showed up in the mail today. It's pretty nice, but I haven't gotten much of a chance to poke through it yet.

I wonder why they're MRIing her?

Probably a regularly scheduled checkup/therapy session.

And she definitely knows it's Mary, but doesn't want to believe it. I wonder if the same is true for the government, after all Moonshadow is kind of a government-trained assassin gone rogue, and that would be one hell of a PR hit.

You just know that the government has that line tapped and this call has initiated a panicked emergency meeting.

No kidding, a whole family of possums?

I believe Google translate is telling me they're saying something like, "We cannot leave, the cartel will go after our families if we disappear." That about right?

Any chance this was a trap?

My guess is Furnace just blundered into the situation without really understanding what was going on.

What exactly happened to Mary's belly wound? I like the general concept of the chapter, but the last few panels have not made a lot of sense.

After archive-diving:
Then we come back to this. Apparently Violet had moved out? Sometime? Because she's scared of Alison? And now she's moved back in and kicked Alison out?

The question marks are because we've never been shown any of this, between page 75 and the latest page (151) Violet and the other two haven't been shown or mentioned at all.

Going by Page 93 it certainly appears that Violet has moved out, but you're right it's not actually mentioned anywhere that I can see.

Wait, wait, hold up, there are large hydroelectric dams in Ohio?

Come on, you nerds.

The one in the comic looks like the O'Shaughnessy Dam in CA, not the one in Ohio, but I'd guess that's just a coincidence (since you'll see a bunch that look just like that if you google for things like "hydroelectric dam"). On top of that, the Ohio River has a bunch of larger dams on it; I don't think any of the really big ones are in Ohio state in reality, but it wouldn't be totally unreasonable for one to be there in the SFP universe.

Oh sure, it's fine if they want to add another hydroelectric dam to the state. I just found it funny because there are states with better topography for the dam described in the story.

Also why are comments still moderated? At this point there's nothing to get controversial over so it seems unnecessary.

Open Internet comments are a dumpster fire. Two of the smartest things they've done is kept the comments section moderated and hidden by default. Of course they probably should farm out the moderation to someone not on the creative team.

Plus telling that to someone who can put you through a wall without breaking a sweat shows either serious balls, or a stunning lack of survival instincts. Like that's about the only thing I enjoyed about today's strip, Allison's "really?" reaction to his outburst.

Okay. Another example, your parents are world class surgeons and from early childhood you are groomed for that job as well. You have amazing mental aptitude and are so dexterous that it's almost scary. You know that you can save countless people with your job but you never felt any passion all. It was always the dream of your parents, you hate being in charge of someones life, seeing blood makes you feel uneasy and you have an acute fear of dead bodies. Even though you are way worse at it, all you ever wanted to do was to be a janitor and take a step back from all this responsibility. Every day you are the only one who is capable of saving people in dire need, but it's wearing you down and you start to be incredibly depressed.
Is it morally wrong to quit a job like this, if it makes you feel miserable?


Self preservation isn't just keeping yourself away from acute bodily harm. Wrecking ones psyche can be almost as bad.

Isn't this Kumar's arc in the first Harold and Kumar movie?
