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

Whatever it did with the caboose, it also reconfigured its head and mouth. It did not have Alien-style double jaws before...

Okay, that's funny. And I'm with Krosp on this one.
Good Krosp. Good kitty!
Can't really blame Krosp. Tweedle kidnapped and hurt his first subject. No king sees much amusement in that.
Judging from Chewie's perspective, he's right to question Agatha's proclaimed lineage. He's been isolated for decades, and the Heterodynes have repeatedly been said to rarely produce girls. So I can understand him -even if I wish they could call an artillery strike in on him.
...what happens if Chewie eats an item he wasn't meant to eat?
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry PratchettThe monitor is down I repeat the monitor is down.... neither Old Bear nor myself were sleeping and this came up.
Unless Agatha shows Chewie then Chewie won't believe.... understandable but I'm with Krosp on this one... who wants to see Squashy get some?
Well here goes nothingIt suggests it wouldn't care even if she really is a Heterodyne — although as someone else pointed out, even now it does seem more inclined to show off at her than actually attack. I'm unclear on how it will actually react if it gets confirmation.
I'm also intrigued to see what Agatha's planning to say on Wednesday.
Agatha seems to getting the hang of getting into the head (or thinking processes anyway) of sparky creations... So I'm expecting her to try to convince/bribe/blackmail Chew Chew (love that nickname) into a temporary compliance.
Of course since I'm very bad at guessing things she could simply have a death ray hidden behind her that she will flourish and use in Wednesday panel, only to discover at the end of the Friday panel that the Mad Train shrugged it off because of some Heterodyne failsafe.
Whatever your favourite work is, there is a Vocal Minority that considers it the Worst. Whatever. Ever!.It spoke a challenge to stupid little sparks and pointed out that massively fighting it would only increase it's consumption rate. It wouldn't be a reasonable decisison by any means, but if she is of the family, the train probably expects heterodyne-hubris from her.
From a narrative perspective, I think this would be a good point for her to declare 'This one is mine!' and challenge the train to a one-on-one..... Although this is traditionally the macho-way, Agatha is a comparatively modern woman and may just do it anyway.
Is it bad that I am growing fond of Tweedle?
All I know is, my gut says maybe.Hmm. The Beast. And the 'Lion', with its Kestle-killing transdimensional harmonics. I wonder what Agatha remembers, and how quickly she can do it.
Back to Rome for a moment: they got in their own way. In their desire to treat horses humanely, they put a limit on the size of the load a horse could pull. With that limit, there was no incentive to develop the padded horse collar, because it wouldn't have been legal.
Archimedes crept up on calculus, but he stopped at the door. Part of the problem is that algebra was harder then, because they had no symbols for it. It all had to be written out in words.

Personally, I was reminded of how the TARDIS can eject rooms to increase energy efficiency.
