page 1289 – Everybody Remembers Food
Fun Fact: the art for this page was pretty much done a full day before the dialog was added, but then I went and spent a whole morning scrubbing mildew off of the outside of the house, and wasn’t in much of a headspace to be funny afterwards.
But yeah, it just occurred to me that, while we’ve seen other characters react to Tax having one of her… moments, we’d never really seen what happens when Stilez notices them… if even if she does. And now we know the answer to both! PLOT PROGRESSION!
9/14 EDIT: New TWC Inventive is up! …that I very nearly forgot to do. See, this is what happens when I have a burst of productivity over on OTHER projects…
I COULD try to puzzle out what Tax means, but let’s be honest: oracles are best interpreted after the fact. So instead I’ll just say that I really like the art on this one. Nice use of those background patterns.
Who says that she’s saying anything about THIS ship, or what will occur around this ship? Tax could be talking about something that’ll occur half-way around the galaxy from the ship, and only shows up in a “what happened to X” scene, if it shows up at all.
It could even be happening at the equivalent of right now in the comic, just so far away that there’s no reasonably conceivable way for anyone near Tax to know about it anytime in the next five days.
The real question is, what possibility would be most likely to provide an “Oh, THAT’S what she meant!” moment a hundred pages in the future?
You’re assuming that any who reads this comic… okay, anyone who reads this comic who isn’t Ed8… will remember what Tax said in a hundred pages. Even when re-reading this comic, I wouldn’t remember a hundred pages ago.
Oh, I learned a while ago never to underestimate SOMEBODY’S ability to remember stuff that even I’VE struggled to remember. That just how these things go.
Listen, I excluded Ed8 for a reason, and they even agreed with me after you posted. Hiding the fact that you’re talking about them by just calling them “somebody” is a bit rude. :p
Not 100% sure who it’s rude to, either me or Ed8, and I doubt either of us care overly much. So it’s fine in this case. 😀
I’m just happy when I can get upgraded to a “somebody” from a “nobody” 😉
Yup! That’s what I’m here for! 😀
👍
In my case, I reread the whole thing occasionally. You can see where I put the pieces together a couple times in the archives!
@ Voting Incentive: Avatar being afraid of the dark, especially the darkness of outer space, actually makes sense, given how long she was on her own out there. It does make a horrible catch 22 where she goes out to there on a regular basis for health, safety and comfort reasons, though.
Also means I might have to rewrite a few sections of my old fanfic.
