Last thread vanished with the crash...

So, the Weasel Queen interlude is over. Is this Storm King opera another one?

The fact that it wants to show off to her (rather than, say, eating her) is itself a sign that Agatha's sparky charisma is beginning to have an effect.

I'm done trying to sound smart. "Clear" is the new smart.

Which of Klaus' actions rated a WTF? Because there's been a couple...

The Klaus copy thing kicked him to a much darker shade of Grey in my book.

Random thought: I wonder if there was Shakespeare in this 'verse.

I honestly think this comic is better if you leave it for a while and then binge on it. The castle went a LOT faster for me since I could read it all in one go rather than having to wait for updates...

So, binge person, you have the right idea

Oh. Dragon. Dung.

And that's what happens when the Heterodynes try to do something nice! No wonder everyone's scared of them!

My son alternates between bingeing and daily updates. Depends what's going on and what games he's beating everyone in online. (For him, it's about winning, alone or as part of a team, not about glory or how cool he can be or how fancy a weapon he can get.)

Schefflera was right. Useful for fighting.

All I know is, my gut says maybe.

Favorite line from the FB comments: "EAT THE SQUASHY!"

Which, by the way, seems to be Tweedle's current nickname in that thread.

But someone just had to point out that Agatha reversing the king's touch crap would be easier with Squashy's notes.

If it weren't for that, or if it were positive that Aggie could reverse it regardless, I'd say go ahead and eat the guy. He's not even a lovably evil villain.

[up][up] I'll agree that Schefflera was right, but is anyone else extremely confused about what just happened? What did it do?

[up]I'm confused. It appears to have crunched up its own last car and untrapped itself by changing the magnetic fields, but I do not understand how these are connected.

#41640: Jan 30th 2015 at 8:55:12 AM

[up]Neither do I, but we could techno-babble about it shifting the center of it's mass and it's own field-generators, thereby deforming the various fields until they interfered and mutually cancelled themselves out ... tongue

I believe it altered it's own magnetic field, and the monk's field caused the caboose to crush under the sudden flux.

I have to admit, Tweedle definitely has bravery and determination. One of his exceedingly few positive qualities.

Will do. :D (It's a little tricky because I also really like reading through everyone's commentary from when the strips came out, but I think I can manage a little thread-hopscotch.)

Which of Klaus' actions rated a WTF? Because there's been a couple...
That was the revelation that some version of Klaus has been installed in Gil's head. Which was literally revealed just PAGES after where I'd last read. :P

I have no idea if he has acquired an official fan nickname, but in my head I have dubbed him "BrainKlaud".

I'm currently at Gil and Bang discovering the Jäger decoy. "They won't be calling it 'Boy Genius'." XD I don't think I've enjoyed any single page this much since "Und any plan vare hyu lose you hat is...?"

[up]He's not actually all that short on good qualities. He's bold, determined, a capable Spark and strategist, capable of acknowledging other people's good ideas, willing to fling himself bodily into danger...

Unfortunately he's a sleazeball, which kind of slimes all over everything else. At least he's amusing when discomfitted?

Tweedle's got lots of laudable traits. They help him be a more dangerous villain.

"BrainKlaus" is funnier than Klaus!Gil.

The Klaus-copy is one of the biggest WTH moments of the series. (IMO)

Chewie has been eating various alloys, which have various magnetic properties. Changing location and proportion would change what was affected how by resident magnetic fields. The car, if it wasn't reabsorbed, being lost might be considered an acceptable price, like a lizard shedding its tail to distract a predator.
