the sixties and the forties I'm guessing
Hm. The Lass looks very Roaring Twenties to me. The Matron is very Rockwell, so probably late-fifties/early sixties.
Also, they're all trapped inside a pseudo-mystical/alternate-dimensional hotel where they're the only ones there, because they've all been selected by Gluttony as "the best". Reminds me a bit of a Doctor Who episode, actually...
Why, that dashing 1920s lass appears to have the same facial structure as Harry!
Now, either that's a trick of the art style, or somebody is collecting Barbers…
Not really a good Idea to hoard sociopaths...
Sounds like Gladys is from Scotland. Will she be cooking deep fried Mars bars? A much maligned but delicious delicacy. Also deep fried pizza and deep fried meat pies. I love Scottish cuisine.
Deep Fried Lard! Ancestor of the American Deep Fried Butter-on-a-Stick.
Deep Fried Coca-Cola takes the cake. And the pie. And all those muffins, too.
Well 23 skado!
1920s and late 1940s is my guess, unless they're being Retro.
This is the scariest story so far...
I like the multi-direction/level staircase in panel 1 looping back under itself
That's just a regular switch-balcony staircase. You go up the middle, then turn around and come up one of the sides.
People from various times brought together because they are the best at their type of cooking in an otherwise empty incarnation of the hotel . . . yep, we've got a pocket dimension.
I like seeing it at 119% and 28 days to go. Wonder how many of the good tiers are left... :-D
Assuming that's the case, I'm going to make a mighty big leap from a very flimsy support, and predict that the collection will eventually consist of one captive per genration. We've got one from the 1020s, one from the 1950s, and one from the 2010s. "All" we need now are specimens from the 1860s, the 1890s, and the 1980s. (Yes, I'm ignoring anything futurewards of the 2010s).
