So we had Tarvek being Tarvek, did we? He is good at that. Remember when he got Gil to publicly recognize him as the Storm King?

I still say that, orders or no orders, trying to bar the Heterodyne, backed by an entire Jaeger army yet, from part of Mechanicsburg was not an intelligent move. If I'd thought that my orders required me to do that, I'd have been doing it from behind multiple locked doors and under the bed, not walking out an open door and telling her to her face. Or else I'd have switched sides.

I note that the cat is remaining somewhat more coherent than the dog.

Seems about right.

(well, aside from the part of my head saying 'that's an old trope and wrong, often they get along just fine'. But that wouldn't be as funny. -- or would it? Agatha announcing to a monster that she was not its creator and it didn't have to obey her was pretty funny.)

Well, eventually iz gonna be gut.

I concluded some time ago that this comic is made up primarily of side stories. However: for one thing, I usually like the side stories. And for another: if it weren't, it would probably have been over at least ten years ago, and we wouldn't still be getting to read new pages.

Wouldn't the Dreen already know what kind of battle they're going to have?

-- but apparently each of them has "seen" some things and not others? otherwise the shortbread business doesn't make any sense. Maybe none of them has "seen" the battle?

Maybe it's like, for people who move back and forth in space, different people having been in different rooms and noticed different things in them?
