Jan03

I’d planned to make a longer post, but I’ve decided to move it to a blog post. I’ll link to that when it goes up, but it probably won’t be till next week or so. You know, general blather.

Anyway, the short version is… happy new years, all!

Hey, it’s dog-barking guy in panel 1! So his name is Brook, huh? Interesting, and putting an ancient demon summoning sorceress in charge of anything, except demons, seems like a bad idea all around.

Nathan, apparently answers Providence, in the same way that Dirk Gently follow the Interconnectedness of All Things. Blindly and Immediately. … and somehow it always works out.

Poor Tom. He almost makes this sound commonplace for the two of them. And never happy about it. (And he still manages to be funny about it.)

What a cliff hanger!

I mean, PastUtopia just left them hanging in mid air!

Will Tom make a snow angel in the concrete below?
Will Nathan realize he forgot his fancy stick in the overhead storage rack?

  Technically, I don’t think that’s what I call hanging. It’s an activity related to hanging, but it’s significantly different from hanging in at least one particular that Tom feels is rather important right now. I’m getting the feeling that Nathan pulls this kind of thing often enough that Tom doesn’t really even much question it any longer, just grumbles about it.

    I just wish we saw more of Nathan and Tom, they have always been some of my favorite characters (after Ila!)

Um, I just noticed something. Did Nathan forget the fanciest stick? That could be rather inconvenient. “Yeah, hello, is this the lost and found department? I think I left my stick on an airship of yours I sort of made off with. No, no, I didn’t *steal* it, I just *commandeered* it. I’m allowed to do that. I mean, I work for the IDS and everything… I *know* you’re not part of the IDS, that’s why I can commandeer your stuff. Oh, come on now, don’t swear at me. I’m not the one that made the rules.”

  Nathan’s fanciest stick is collapsible. Into himself, or so it seems. Part of what makes it so fancy, I suppose.

    That is a particularly fancy feature. I’m not sure how I forgot about that bit.

  I’m pretty sure that he can have it write to Eidos, and I’m pretty sure that he stores it up his sleeve.

  I’m more worried that Tom seems to have forgotten his crowbar, I don’t think I’ve seen him without it.

    It is in the seat next to him and is probably in his off panel hand as they fall.
