Nope. Though the "floating in space" thing does look a little better when the pages are viewed individually as opposed to all put together like this.

For some reason, I "heard" Sabueso's first quote in a "Macho Man" Randy Savage voice. "Can't say I blame Kit for not trusting you, knight! Oh yeahhhh!" First time that's happened.

Sabueso with a Randy Savage voice kinda makes sense, though.

That works! I sometimes imagine Sabueso's lines being read by The Macho Man myself. smile

Never mind the voices, I heard that dramatic drum sound between those three frames. I expect there's a trope for it.

256!

Sabueso knows just enough for Kit not to immediately blow him away.

Information can sometimes be a very effective shield.

Funny how Sabueso is on the begging end. Not so mighty now, is he?

It's funny. For a big Liefeldian lout, Sabueso is very well equipped for surveillance, isn't he?

See, I had that one figured. No way he was going to be that easily intimidated.

Nice. You had me there. I wonder if this'll have some effect on Charsi.

When did we even get the information that Kit is a virgin? Her mockery here seems to contradict that.

[up]We don't know that Kit is a virgin. We know she is celibate and has supernatural qualities she shares with a virgin. The rest is speculation.

Kit's virginity? Hmmm...Well, that's certainly an interesting topic to speculate on. I'll leave you all to it!

But, for now, here's something I posted on Nuklear Power Forums that I wanted to post here regarding this recent update:

This was originally four pages (which is why it says pages 9-12), but I didn't think one of them worked, so I cut the entire page out except for the panel where Charsi says "Chastity is important for maintaining a healthy, balanced spirit."

I have this image right now of the wand doing the magical equivalent of the old cartoon in-love freakout when Charsi touches it; eyes bugging, heart thumping out of chest, tongue rolling out like a carpet, wolf-howling, AAAAWWWOOO-GGUUHHHH!, etc.

Now I'm wondering what was on the cut page. A whole page of laughing at the virgin? I think it works just fine as is.

Mostly it just dragged out the scene and made more out of the virgin "joke" than I felt it needed. It also made Kit and Sabueso come across as being too chummy, which I felt would give people the wrong impression. Especially since Sabueso was going to electrocute Kit with the magic wand.

I'd say you made a good call. Though, it wouldn't surprise me if Kit and Sabueso could get buddy-buddy for a second to pick on a third party.

Up until Charsi called it torture, I figured he merely used that lighting to incapitate her.

Well one person's incapacitation via lightning wand is another person's torture smile

You know, I've just thought of something. We grumble every once in a while about the archives on the Nuklearpower site. Since there's little that can be done there to fix it, maybe we can edit the first page of this topic to link to different points. The story arcs, the advertisements, character introductions, the Art Shift, etc. It might still be a pain to find a specific page, but going to the first page and going to "Charsi's first appearance" or "Poe talks with Lucas" may be handy, better than "I think it was three months ago...no, it wasn't."

Maybe I'll do it. My first post was on the second page, marginally less convenient than being on the first.

We could set up a recap page with links to important strips.

Recap sounds good. If necessary, I can edit the OP to include a link to the Recap page and pin it.

I was thinking of a recap as well, wasn't sure if a page on the wiki proper was a little off-mission.

EDIT:

Here is a first batch:

First page, Kit gets shot
Kit and Liz have a chat
Ad Break: Julian Nash Distilleries
Kit & Liz go after Burke
Erin
The Eponymus Dreadful
Liz keeps a ring
Boozloaf
Erin shoots Kit
Flashback: Kit & Poe in the gang
Hiding in a cave
Kit barfs lightning
Liz deals with Erin
Faerie in a bottle
Afterwards & the Art Shift

My evil brain wants to describe them like the chapter headers in Blood Meridian.

I'm looking at tagging the scene changes, character introductions, or important plot points. Some of these probably should be adjusted, I've got the page when Kit is shot by Erin, perhaps I should have gone back to the page of Erin lining up the shot.
