You have to be prepared (to rub it in their faces).
Well, now I know how bad guys end up with clueless minions. Seriously, those poor guys.
Commentary: Ms. Councilwoman is giving me flashbacks to Jill right now for some strange reason.
So THAT explains the resemblance.
Komi: "Gotcha bitches!"
At Fairbairn's first entrance in the comic, when she said, "Sorry for the wait - I am Council Member Fairbairn of central Widdershins, and thus in possession of limited spare time", I thought she was "talking twice" like Vetinari from Discworld, saying something that could either be an apology for her time or a condescending warning not to waste it. And now the bottom two panels here, Fairbairn and Nicola, are reminding me of all those conversations of Vimes & Vetinari.
I mean, if Vetinari was really villanous, and really a poser who would soon find himself failing to hit invisible malforms with a broom, and didn't have a philosophical bent and a kinda-maybe liking for Vimes.
I'm randomly thinking a not-really-villain, not-really-poser version of Councilwoman Fairbairn could be kinda cool, potentially. Do people write Widdershins AUs or anything? :P
They are very very very much welcome to! There's a fanfic page on Ao3 but that's all I know of! http://archiveofourown.org/.../works "http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Widdershins%20(Webcomic)/works")
Remember: if you're looking out the window, they can't see you rolling your eyes.
I love that Wolfe asks all the right questions, but isn't remotely worried about the answers 😄😂
