Yeah, but I just don't find her interesting. The difference between how various Casters view the world is definitely interesting though.

If I'm reading this right, Maggie-doll is about to croak the Dollamancer.

Or cripple him with so much self doubt they can snatch Caesar away and disable that kill collar doohickey.

On a weird tangent, does Huehue the Transylvito tower regret making Bill so broken, I wonder? Jed's probably popped a few dozen units since waking up, I wonder if he thinks of them as his kids and tries to "raise them right" through whatever magical process comes before popping. Chargen, I guess? grintongue

This is the most interesting update in a while. I love it when we are shown a casters inner monolog. Especially when they get an insight on something.

Looks like the Maggie doll destroyed him in the same way Vanna thought she might if she probed too deeply at him. And destroyed is probably a better word than croaked since I doubt he died.

"Destroyed" might be a good word, yes. Croaking him would have triggered the deadman switch on Caesar's collar, and probably killed the Maggie doll's sentience (though maybe not, since she might be reliant on Maggie instead of on Bill). My guess would be that he's basically brain dead at this point. The question is what happens next. Some people in the comments think the doll will take control of all of Bill's dolls and use them to trigger penalties.

I wouldn't write Bill off the table just yet. The picture at he bottom might just mean that Makaleka blew his mind in a more methaphorical way. There could be at least one text page of him... unraveling.

Text update. Finally some information on Faq's new Temple, and a bit on Marie's plans and the way Predictamancers operate.

You know, it's still chilling to see how people change their outlook on murder when easy resurrections exist. When Wanda started doing it with Ossomer, it was creepy. And now Marie, too. Heck, it's still pretty chilling how easily she sacrificed Georgia. "Has to die in GK the city*" as a Fate didn't mean shooting her in the back, odds are Jill would do that anyway.

*Ha, pretty clever. She died fulfilling her fate not once, but twice.

To be fair, Erfworld doesn't exactly have the best track record with murder and justice in general. The Magic Kingdom is the only group that really considers using trials, and the only example we've seen was a Kangaroo Court where several witnesses were dismissed as not actually alive, which then used retroactive law to justify executing a bunch of people for things that weren't crimes when they originally committed them.

True, it makes you wonder if one of the panel of judges wasn't named Travis T. Justice.

On a random topic, it took Jed ages to learn how to talk, I'm guessing it being Fusion!Isaac who made all the towers is making them reach verbal stages earlier?

Really, more than anything this update just made me annoyed at how the author always switches away from a plot thread right as it's getting resolved. I'd forgotten about that.

Jed was awakened at a much less urgent time than the other towers, on top of that there’s personality to consider, Jed may just like messing with people.

Text update. Jed stole less than expected, but he's willing to pay it back. Charlie, on the other hand, has been stealing a LOT, so Shirley shuts down the tower.

Everyone probably got it, but the last panel shows the same green glowing polygons as the GK portal.

[up]After all the pacing talk, there's something mildly depressing about seeing a year's worth of drama compressed into a single comic page, no less, without feeling too much loss.

I honestly don't remember when GK lost all those gems. I remember them getting a ton of Schmuckers when Charlie opened fire in the MK but I thought they still had that money.

A couple pages ago, converted dolls were stealing the gems through a hat.

Now I actually expected them to not get all of them, given image showing the warlady with a rifle barging in on the while there were still a bunch of gems around.
