Comic for Monday, June 15th
I like to think the IDS manual for interactions with native enforcement services starts with “Be a dick. ALWAYS be a dick. It is vital that you appear disrespectful and condescending at all times toward local enforcement services, no matter what their rank, numbers, or strength”. It takes a certain arroganceΒ to piss more people off when half your squad is already down. Well. Unless the title isn’t just for show…
Hey. That’s a shade of blue we haven’t seen in a long time.
I regret the background to this panel. I wanted to work on making backgrounds better… but frankly there isn’t much to draw in the background.
I played around with hair shiny-ness again. I dunno. This method looked aright with sketches, but frankly doesn’t apply well to the current characters. I dunno. I’ll figure something out. For the mean time hair will remain an issue.
Edit: Hahaha I corrected the spelling error before anyone could tell me about it! … Unless there is another… π
Edit 2: There was another… π Thanks eldestdawn π
I’m not familiar with Malsa laws or the pact that was signed with IDS. However, I can think of two things that any law officer would have the clearance to demand in such a situation:
1) Identification. Anyone can -claim- to be an IDS agent or “special agent.” It does not matter who anyone -claims- to be, if they don’t provide identification to prove it, then they can’t verify their claim. These Bureau agents just interrupted a major fight in a restricted area. And, so far, we have not seen anyone pull out their badges or IDs.
2) Jurisdiction to protect their own citizens. This is their duty. I don’t think any foreigners can interfere with this, regardless of who they are or what their rank is. If IDS wants to extradite someone, then they had better go through proper channels. To start a firefight like this, in a high security zone no less, and then claim -they- don’t have the right to interfere… It’s ridiculous. At the least, he had better immediately contact his superiors and/or their superiors.
Granted, Peter is from IDS World and is a foreigner. But these Bureau agents wouldn’t know that. He’s wearing the school uniform. Besides, I seem to recall that by registering as a student there he gained certain rights and protections.
The two top choices for the owner of the mysterious feet are Tyler and Mium. Mium wears lace-up shoes (His world’s version of tennies, I guess), but doesn’t need or use a trenchcoat or cape. I don’t remember seeing Tyler’s feet, but a trenchcoat would be right up his alley. He would also be the biggest pain in the rear for Special Agent Otte at this point, so I’ll guess “Tyler” and hope for the best. ^^
Interagency turf war, WOOT! π
The only time I think we’ve seen Tyler’s feet predates hands and feet not being drawn as blobs: http://pastutopia.com/?comic=comic-for-wednesday-january-21st
That said, even with the crappy old art, it’s still has a fairly big clue to who the new person might be based on what he’s wearing there π Man. I forget how awful the art was. Gotta continue updating the pages faster, haha.
it’s interference not interferance, the spellchecker tells me that the first one is proper and the second one is underlined in red. i’m not trying to be mean but since you pointed out that you saw a spelling error i decided to help you fix the other one.
Hahaha – fixed. Many thanks! π
I knew I shoulda knocked on wood after typing that! π
Err… I mean… it was a clever plot to see if anyone was paying attention! Of course!
