Aww, it's always nice when someone gets taken to their first bar by their parent!
...I couldn't resist the pun.
👀 Sid and Gren?
NICE catch!
I can just imagine them coming to visit Eliza...
Sid: "Madam, I understand you have a knack for finding things?"
Eliza: "Sure, do you have a globe or map?" (starts loading gun)
I dunno...would Gren allow Sid to put a leash on her?
Sid’s the one on the leash and Gren’s giving him a walk (she’s looking after him until Harry’s home, someone’s got to!)
Heh! ^_^ Nice one.
Even so, Sid must've invested a LOT of doggy treats before Gren was down with taking him for walks...
Are you insinuating, sir, that a respectable former police dog like Gren would stoop to accepting bribes like a common city official?
It's not so much bribes as payment for her invaluable services. Besides, when asked what she thought of Sid, Gren replied "sometimes treats; bark at". ^_^
Shit, you right! I didn't see that!
Ohhh... 💔
Any chance of a hires newspaper headline please?
Mayor Rana's Death (wait what? When the hell did this...) Penalty Ban (oh thank Christ) Gains Support (oh, that's nice)
Gains London Support. So it's probably already in place in Widdershins.
Yeah, Knotty talking about ‘that big pension’ makes me think it’s less an ‘I am retiring due to the trauma of almost hanging my son’ pension and more a ‘hey so we’re getting rid of your job, also sorry that you almost hanged your son, here’s a bunch of money to not get mad at us for not checking who was under the hood’ pension.
Yeah, is definitely strikes me as a "please don't sue us" paycheck. "Especially with your son who is clearly about to be a stellar lawyer" <.<
Hushmoney, eh?
Thanks
Not seen the small subline: Hangman almost strings up own son, crowd knot having any of that
Edit: Wait, even better - "Hangman hangs up his noose"
Hmmm... "Mayor [illegible] [illegible] Flack [illegible] [illegible] [illegible] [illegible]"?
That dastardly Mayor Illegible!
they're so hard to pin down!
Is today her official police force interview or test or whatnot? And I'm curious if he's working at the library while he studies.
Good to see Gren getting walkies.
I was worried for a moment cos I'd heard that an apothecary globe full of red liquid meant 'this town has the plague, leave immediately', but after a bit of research it turns out that's just a myth :)
I LOVE YOU MR. KNOTTS DAD
His face in the third panel! sniff
Why do I feel like Knotty's going to end up being the Watson to Eliza's Holmes? ^_^
Which would be funny, considering Watson was the one that specifically brought "knowledge of chemistry and medicine" to the table, which Swift already has.
Because that's pretty much their relationship already, Eliza getting a detective job just strengthens the parallel.
Huh - Knotty only stutters once on this page ("I-I've got a lot of studying to do..."). Is he feeling more confident now that he's on his new path?
Looking sharp indeed. Does someone have a study date? :3
YES KING GET YOUR EDUCATION
love your icon btw, these last few sakana updates have been killing me in the best possible way
thank you so much!!! i know right!! both these sakana AND widdershins updates have me on the edge of my seat!! love them :')
So, this mean's Harry's been gone for two months? Have the Barber family, Sid, and Mal given up?
I think Sharpe is working for Eliza now. He could imbue some of her drugs to make them more efficacious.
Doubtful. I mean, they're probably sure that she's somewhere on the other side of the world. Even if there was a telegraph station on-site (they really should have something at the Himalayas site) it might be almost a year before she could make it back.
Dawww, this is one of the better happy endings I've seen in a while.
It's a happy ending (or at least interlude) for the whole family! ^_^
Vincent gets to study law without feeling guilty about letting his Dad down, Dad has a good pension and can feel confident that his son is doing something he actually wants to do and has a good head for.
And I can easily see why George would be ready to retire. He always struck me as a kindly soul, which need not be an impediment in the executioner business, and he had a terrible shock. After almost being tricked into hanging his own boy, I can see how he wouldn't feel comfortable relying on the justness of the verdicts that brought people to his workplace.
I think the pension might have more to do with the "Death Penalty Ban" mentioned in the paper, although I'm sure George would have retired even if the position wasn't being dismantled.
