#5279: Nice 2 Meet U

I'm sure this'll end well.

I can hear the ticking of a time bomb...

Probably Elliot self-destructing because he's certain Clinton could do better...

#5280: Misunderstandment

Uh oh.

#5282: Clinton Gets A Fancy Drink

...I'm not sure that's a good idea.

He includes sound effects for cocktail mixing, but not music.

I just realized that Claire hasn't been wearing her septum ring for a while. (And for "a while" I mean like... 500 comics??? I binged it and then went into daily updates and my sense of time is totally whacked.) I remember it really throwing me off when she got it so I don't remember if she said something about taking it off or the artist just decided to stop drawing it?

Did she want to look more professional for Cubetown? Not that they'd care, but maybe she took it off for the interview and fell out of the habit.

The logic does make sense in-character. She wouldn't be assuming the whole town is wacky, so to appear professionally she could take it out. And it took a while in pages-time but was a pretty short period for in-universe time.

She’s not wearing her ear gages either, and Jeph is making a point to draw the lines of her empty piercings. So that tracks.

#5283: Boltzmann Brainworms

Some deep drunken thoughts.

"You're welcome".

Heh.

I guess Willow is a philosophical drunk.

She's not wrong.

#5285: Illegal Importation

Oh, Bubbles...

I think that would be generally considered either Narcolepsy or Chronic Fatigue, if it's about falling asleep constantly or constantly tired.

#5286: Loup Garou

Iris has her hair down-moment.

I guess I was wrong when I said Willow was a philosophic drunk. She's also a lycanthropic drunk.

Apologies if this skews a bit too... unpleasant, but at the height of my drinking days, I would reach a point where I would basically speak in slurred word salad - fully confident in what I was saying, but making zero sense at all. My friends at the time - who I eventually stopped hanging out with due to self-esteem issues - would call that level of my drunkenness "stroke victim mode".

That being said, in my earlier drinking days, a bad drop would make me pretty upset and unable to regulate my emotions. You never really plan to go to those places, but when you go too crazy on the hooch, you can end up there anyway.

So on both accounts, I could see a "werewolf mode" coming from a person who's sufficiently emotionally invested in playing out a werewolf fantasy, and also tanked as a motherfucker. Especially on the cheap stuff that's loaded to the neck with cheap additives. That sort of stuff really has you acting at your worst, at least from my experience.

I imagine it’s slightly more of a flower-child witch coven fantasy realized by lowered inhibitions.

#5287: Grooming As An Act Of Submission

...Yeah, I can see it.
