page 708 – Reunion Interrupted
The tender, touching reuniting of two life-long friends… sounds a lot like frantic, high-pitched shouting.
So, once again, I’m still working on Conventional Wisdom, so not a lot else to say right now. However, somehow I DID get a new Voting Incentive done for today! So, at least there’s that!
(Historical Notes: You’d think that Astrid, of all people, would be cool with public displays of affection.)
Actually, Astrid seems to be one of the people who acknowledges the situation around her first and foremost in the comic. Everyone else has pretty much been seen to be willing to ignore their situation for personal reasons, while Astrid is the ONE person I feel that we have seen doing the opposite. In the last few pages she has completely abandoned what she was doing and adapted to the changes to her environment, because it was too dangerous not to.
There’s a LOT of people who just seem to forget and/or ignore about the imminent danger they’re in very easily in this comic. Astrid is just the one person who HASN’T.
