Comic for Tuesday, March 31st, 2020
Well, least it’s the right month! To be honest, we are lucky we are getting this today. Been hard to get time to work on stuff.
I imagine the saying “that gas farted” is sort of like the cruder version of “that ship sailed”. I imagine that’s fairly self-evident, but I figure I should clarify it’s intentionally a somewhat strange phrase, in so far as it’s an idiom that… isn’t really an idiom.
Technically, they aren’t breaking into anyone’s “house” per se. The towers owned by the family are more than just a house, but it’d be something that’d colloquially make sense in context to them to say I think.
Pretty sure these are all characters we haven’t seen before (minus Naomi) to save you guys the hunt; might have been in the background somewhere, but I don’t think so 🙂

Page will probably be up Wednesday. Small chance of tomorrow but don’t want to have delay twice.
Well, the one with the interesting hair at least was wise enough to know when he’s outclassed. Gotta give him points for that. And he has his worry priorities in at least something vaguely resembling the right order.
Damn! In panel 5 (the little triangle panel lower left) did Naomi kick that guy where I think she did? Looks like a solid kick to the crotch. OW!!! OW!!! OW!!!
I just did an archive bing last week! Can’t believe I needed to do an archive hunt to find out who’s “house” was being broken into. (It’s Regin’s house. Don’t worry if you don’t remember him. He’s a minor character introduced last chapter.)
Naomi: “Hi! I’m the scariest one. You were talking about me?”
The scary fact is she’s not. But she’s still too scary for them.
I’m not sure she’s not.
I mean, which monster is really scarier: The one you know about who could whim you out of existence if they wanted but haven’t ever so far, or the monster who is right up in your face punching you and the fact you have guns means nothing to her?
Sure, Naomi was *not* the one they were talking about. But probably to them right now, she’s a lot scarier than Eliana is right now. Oh, I’m sorry, that’s not the name they’re thinking of her by. This purple-haired one is a lot scarier than ol’ what’s her face.
I love that last panel to death. It is perfection.
And, in context, ‘um… no?’ is the best line… ever.
Thought bubble not depicted:
“I better say no, or she’ll punch me before I can get this shot off.”
Looks like a Desert Eagle Mk XIX. I think it will sting her a bit, probably not healthy for him.
When dealing with Naomi, bringing a gun to a fist fight is a very big mistake.
I’d think bringing one of those Arpon walking tanks (probably purchased from the IDS) would be a mistake, too. Maybe not as big of a mistake as bringing one to an altercation with Ila or Mium, but still a mistake. Also those things are quite big so it’s at least a very big mistake in that sense.
So does pale hair get less punching for being right that Naomi was scary? Or more?
It probably has more to do with “I won’t hit you if you tell me what I want to know” than rewarding apprehensiveness. ^^
Panel 1: “damnation! is it even safe to be ON this thing anymore?” Panel 2: gee, good thing we aren’t breaking into THE HOUSE of the scariest one.”
Fixed, thanks 🙂
