Isn't that just creating a localized area with a stronger gravitational force in a different direction from the Earth's own?

Is it just me, or does that arm look unnaturally floppy? It's like there's not even a bone in there.

In other news PAZ <3

Maybe there aren't. Maybe it holds together in some other way.

Young girls building tentacle monsters.

What could possibly go terribly right?

So together, they are Kaz and Paz.

So now Kaz needs to be involved in building a giant robot and Paz needs to pilot it.

Then they start drinking from a river that's polluted by the Court's Sludge-O-Matic™ Machine and suddenly feel they could TAKE ON THE WORLD!

New page. Aw, Kat and Paz.

My first thought upon reading panel 4 was that this was taking place alongside a previous chapter, but I suppose there's nothing stopping it from taking place post-Breakout. I would've thought she'd have payed a visit by now, though.

Ahem... second panel should say 'off' not 'of'.

"Katinha", that is cute. I didn't know Galician used 'nh', I thought they used the Spanish 'ñ'.

Apparently they do, but Tom's font may not have the tilded letters.

Could be, but that wasn't a problem in this page. Sure, there is no 'ñ' there, but it includes 'é' and '¿', so the font clearly have some range.

So I decided to research a bit^note most through Wikipedia, so I can easily be off mark, and apparently Galician uses both, each having a slightly different sound. Not for '-inha', though, that should indeed be '-iña'. However, there is the Reintegrationism movement that seeks to reintegrate Galician and Portuguese as the same language (just different dialects) and they do spell '-inha'. Make me wonder if Tom made a mistake or if it was a deliberate choice (his family is Galician, so he might know the language).

That is adorable.

That last panel, knowing what Robot actually does, seems a bit ominous.

yeah, I was just thinking, girls, please stop delivering vague, portentous sayings in front of the religious zealots

Tom's font is Ale and Wenches BB from blambot.com, if someone wants to check on the tilde thing.

I'm not seeing any ñs or Ñs in the sites that host the font.

Nor am I seeing é, which I thought was stated to be in a comic? Maybe Tom painted that accent in.

Just how aware are the characters of the robots' messianic view of Kat? The cruise ship incident played off like only a fringe group did it, as far as they know. Nobody seems aware of capital-R Robot's being the movement's prophet.

Huh, tested the font and, indeed, there is no accents on it. Not even '´', despite this having appeared in the comic before.

I don't think they are aware, no. Only the robots and Shadow seem to know.

Annie and Kat have been told Robot has played prophet in the past, but they don't know he's at it again.

Still, if only they had remembered about this fact in the wake of the ship attack, it could have aroused their suspicions.

New page.

William has been asking about her? That guy? Kind of sounds like what I wished I had done when I was around that age.

Also, Paz - the best friend Annie has that she barely interacts with.

William is a good fellow.

Maybe Kat should be a little more cautious voicing her disappointments near Robot... This might not end well. <_<

Which one's William?
