Comic for Friday, April 10th
It’s still a little late, but it is less late! We are making progress! I’m hoping with the vastness of a weekend ahead I will be able to get Monday’s up by the usual time. I will try to get Wednesday’s done as well ahead of time, as that’s on the far side of the next doctor appointment in the land of uncertainty.
Obviously I did a little bit of just phoning it on the back grounds. We are going to go with that there is apparently a lot of grass and not much else in this area, and ignore it later if this is slightly contradicted by other landscape shots once my arm is better.
I will try to do a bonus comic for a vote incentive shortly! It will follow our intrepid patrol officer. Of note, there are several kinds of enforcement in Malsa; you’ve seen Bureauย Security way back who were considerably more confrontational and armed; people like this guy are more society watchdogs; they are not armed, and can give you tickets/fines or take someone in, they are not armed and do not deal with armed criminals accordingly.
I’ll write more about society there.
As for the cop here… he’s aware there is no such thing as a permit to carry a sniper rifle. He just decides not to argue the point with someone that has one. He’s a traffic cop, and probably not armed.
Doing a re-read.
4th panel, second bubble. “Than” should be “then”… the simple way to remember which to use is “Then” refers to TIME, than is everything else.
Also the link to the vote incentive takes you to the current vote not to the one that says you’re referencing in this page. You may consider putting a list of all of the volt incentives some place that you can link to in this situation
Soooo…… That means no magic in our world, huh? ๐
And a carry permit for a rifle that could blow a largish hole through a concrete wall? Does someone in the organization have a talent for, um, unofficial coding, and password…….. analysis? ๐
As for the validity of the permit… see the new uploaded bonus comic as the vote incentive here!
As for how that permit came to be… that’s a story yet to be told, but I’d say that between Peter and Mium they have a something of a habit of system infiltration…
On a side note… as for magic in our world… Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic (Clarke’s third law). Only time will tell, but I’m pretty sure there will be things within our lifetimes that would be called magic now-days ๐
I seperate my fiction from the real world for a variety of reasons; while there are pros and cons to both, I prefer a more open canvas to work with; the real world is a story half told already ๐
Yeah, I read it shortly after I posted my comment. ><
Some talents are handier than others. ^^
Nanotech springs to mind. ๐
Good point. ๐
