Happy Spookyween 2024
(Don’t forget, there’s still the regular page that went up earlier this week)
Fun Fact: When I first drew this, Marshall’s book was going to be about the nutritional value of the snacks, but then I realized that was more of a Tarkus joke, and Marshall would be more interested in the best possible flavor experience.
But yeah, Happy Spooky! Enjoy this house from over on the other side of town! Anyway, I’m writing this at around noon on Friday, which is a much better time than I was afraid this would take. HOPEFULLY that means I’ll have gotten Friday’s new TWC Voting Incentive done by the time you read this, because I’m gonna get to work on it as soon as I get this page queued up. Wish me luck, backwards through time! Actually, no. Wish Future Me luck on Monday, because there’s every chance that I won’t get around to working on page 1344 until WAY later than I should.
So I would assume this means Stilez and Tax dressed up as an Apprentice Nitpicker/Chef and a Sabotage Expert for Halloween?
LOL I’m reading this quite late at night/early in the morning, and it took me SEVERAL minute to get that.
I’m honestly amazed that somewhere managed to organize Halloween enough that all of the candy is organized enough to be paired. Especially in a book that small, as it looks to only be the size of a physics text book.
Admittedly, we don’t know how broad the language in this book might be. It could be lumping all sorts of brands together under generalized terms (an accidental benefit of me only writing super generic language for this page)
It’s The Future™ so the “book” is actually a computer which stores an entire library of information, and you select/search which volume you want to appear on the pages and it rearranges the “ink” on the “paper” to the volume you’ve selected. Which we’ll probably be able to do in RL in a few years, but probably won’t actually do because nobody uses books any more 🙂
Alternately, and more likely in the FOT universe, the book incorporates tech from TARDIS, Inc. and actually stores 10s of thousands of physical paper pages in compressed space, which have to be manually paged through into the viewable portion of the book.
We have seen people with paper books. Ichabod literally has an entire library of paper reference books. That he’s been teased for having. They’re also useful for not needing direct power sources to utilize (though indirect ones may be desired for low-light & no-light environments).
As for the Tardis-Books, FOT hasn’t, officially, been stated to have space-compressing anything. Nor, technically, the paper-thin screens necessary for replicating what you’re suggesting. Or the mind-reading technology that the imitation-super-books would need to operate.
