Page 348 – …I was not prepared for that
…well, I think it’s pretty safe to say that nobody expected events to go in THIS direction… unless you’e DrunkDuck reader taltamir, in which case you’re the one who gave me the idea in the first place. Yep, right there the comments of page 60 (the one that introduced the whole idea of Rheiko) this very twist was speculated on a whole year ago. I’d never even considered such a connection before then, and I’ve been looking for a chance to do something with it ever since.
…of course, the very fact that I DIDN’T think of it before, coupled with Avatar’s expression in that last panel, could lead one to believe that our top-hatted friend might not be entirely on the ball here. (Speaking of which, LOOK! I DID find a way to do more that character!)
And if this isn’t enough Avatar for you, be sure to vote and check out a pretty darn old doodle!
i really do like this theory. the person most people think is dead, that has thousands of wild stories told about them actually being alive and gone through something wilder than all the fiction written about them is wild

(I wish we could insert pics in our remarks. Although I totally understand that that’s a can of worms Blitz would not want to open.)
@ Aqua: You’d have to pick someone other than Rheiko, though. Likely someone from a decade to three beforehand.
I feel like Dr Jarre fell into the Avatar=Rheiko concept due to timing, more than anything else. Like, if Avatar was found around the time Rheiko disappeared, or at least their being found was revealed to the Mad Scientist Community & Dr Jarre specifically found out about her being found around the time Rheiko disappeared, then they made the crazy connection.
And if Avatar WAS Rheiko, she was stolen & secretly replaced long before the Jehtkyo uprising. Like, almost a decade beforehand.
…Which would explain Princess Rheiko’s image once (on the next page) being on the front page of “Totally Not Missing Princess Monthly”, a magazine that may or may not secretly be all about people who are currently pretending to be a princess, to hide the fact that the princess in question disappeared. :p
