Comic for Monday, February 22nd
Ah… Peter… You know what, that may be how he genuinely thinks it works… π
Naomi’s thought bubbles amuse me. While she is far more intelligent then some (including her) may suspect, she does tend to have a bit of singular focus as at times. Interrupting her own thoughts seemed appropriate, but I think it also’s helped build out how she works.
Apparently she can run both “LandOnFeet.naomi” and “HitBall.naomi” at the same time though, so at least the do things part of the brain is multithreaded…
It seems this sort of thing just happensΒ for her. I like to imagine she’s as confused as anyone else as to how she landed on her feet in panel three. “Uh oh, falling. Better reorient the world” -> bam, on feet. Still, a useful skill.
How will Naomi take it this for an ending to the match? What did Kally even do? We shall soon see. Maybe. π
I made this page way too complicated from an art side – even if they are all fairly simple, 14 panels is definitely more then I can handle in a page. Made art a little rushed (yes, yes, still making excuses, it’s what I do π )
Peter, Peter, you really didn’t think this though did you… Getting one ally possibly crippled and alienating your possible future associates with your odd logic is not going to help your plans.
That human element to plans is usually the part he seems to struggle with… π
Cheating is okay unless you get caught? Is Peter running for office somewhere? O.o
Finally, the Naomi-blur I’ve been expecting. ^^
I sure hope Peter’s little test didn’t cost Naomi her eyesight. π
only the next few comics will decide.
Peter would have to be a little more consistent with his facade to really hit the politician profile. He’s got the right mindset, but you can’t just come out and say that you will happily lie or cheat if you think you can get away with it… π
To be fair to Peter, the point was to test Naomi somewhere she probably wouldn’t get seriously hurt… then again, if anyone should know Kally better than to think that, it should have been him.
Though I would think Kally probably wouldn’t aim to seriously cripple people unless she really thought she had to… she’s not really one to let something stand in her way, but she’s not exactly cruel or irresponsible.
Peter does have a point Mioni. since you and Naomi were blinded by the spell, you didn’t see what happened. as for Naomi, I hope her eyes will feel better soon.
That is the problem with self-reffed games, you don’t really have an impartial call, and without any real evidence of wrong doing…
Naomi seems to have trucked along through most things so far… but she’s also not much used to actually being hurt/impaired by things.
