Tim's little angry face in panel 5 is the best. He needed that drink, Verity!
Off panel...Tim is simply drinking from the bottle, giving Verity the stink eye.
Verity: "I'm sorry, what's your point?"
Verily a many will verify the veracity of Verity's view
Bravo!
How many forms of that word have we ADOPTED? Sheesh!
Miss Cunningham, compared to you, EVERYONE is quiet.
Which is clearly part of a Quiet Conspiracy! Get Eliza on the case!
And sneaky! No wonder she's trying to perpetuate the stereotype to distrust the less obvious quiet ones. She's diverting attention from herself.
We're still reading her lines in Mz. Frizzle's voice, right?
lmao that's a good fit!
Someone mentioned it a couple books back and it just stuck.
Verity grabbing the drink is bringing "ladylike" to completely new heights!
If Tim were a gentleman, he would have offered the ladies a drink first.
Wasn't Lei a quiet one before she went all megalomaniacal?
She was egomaniacal, which is characterized by excessive pride and self-importance. Megalomania is characterized by delusions of grandeur.
Good point. The grandeur was real, but not being recognized enough for her ego.
Today I Learn that there are different flavors of manicalness
I love Vee's face and pose in panel 2!
And Tim is definitely good at this stuff, whether he likes it or not. Maybe Lei will be able to flatter him into continuing to help out.
Oh hey does that sink fold up into the cabinet? It looks like it extends past the panel it's on, but there are supports on either side that looks like it could seal it in. I suppose that's the sort of thing you'd want to be able to do on a ship in a storm, love the attention to detail!
Probably, there was a sink like that in a 1942 John Huston movie I was watching the other day, so that design was definitely a historical thing.
Wonder how they made the pipes work for that. From this angle, it doesn't look like there's room for any.
The drain pipe is in two parts – one comes up with the sink when it folds up, and when it's put down, it leads into a slightly wider pipe coming up from the floor. This particular one looks like it has the drain pipe parts meeting inside the cupboard. Fancy enough.
In the models I've seen, the tap doesn't fold (although you might need to turn it sideways in order to fit the sink around it), so the pipe leading there is an ordinary, one-piece, non-folding pipe. :)
It definitely looked like it slid in in the last page!
It's only the quiet ones who you don't immediately know are crazy. Verity just happens to be the type to display her craze openly.
Thea is definitely the brains of the operation. Look how she stopped her Dad blabbing just as he was about to reveal the details of the Evil Plan.
I do think that in Thea, her father at least thinks he has a witch for that anchor.
(Or at least who 'can fill the gap' somehow.)
Hijinks will undoubtedly ensue, of course.
I'm thinking in the same direction. Shy and pretty does not equal trustworthy.
This is how it starts, Tim. If you're not careful, you'll become the official People Person of this outfit.
He already is, whether he likes it or not.
Hah, just finished my reread and I'm greeted with a brand new page! Always a pleasant surprise.
You don't need to "watch out" for the loud ones who pick fights with you, though. That's just flirting.
You don't have to watch out for them because they tend to announce themselves.
You do need to watch out...need to know the right time to duck.
What about the quiet ones that also flirt?
Tim gets himself a different glass...
Tim: Ignorance is bliss.
Lei: Quite good of you to obtain this knowledge for us.
I'm with Verity on this one. The daughter is very cute, sure, but I would not trust her an inch without more reason than her being shy.
Kind of impressive that Verity is fast enough to yoink Tim's drink. You'd think a magician would be better at avoiding pickpocketing.
He hasn't practiced the "keep drink away from Verity" trick enough yet.
