Don't ya just hate it when your friends are reasonable and tell you to do something hard? XD
So much
I love it and I also hate it
Nobody's said anything yet. Say first! Say first!
No! What are we, a refugee from the 90s?
Well yes but that's not the point. Say a really good joke! Get all the upvotes!
But we don't have a really good joke! Except "first"?
That's not even a lame joke. It's just lame.
Guys. This is totally off-topic. Say something about the comic. Say ANyThInG about the comic.
Waaaait a second. Did you guys notice this? Ms. Ashwin said this was the silly chapter, but now we're talking about truth! This is gonna have a moral to it! I feel tricked!
....get out of this head.
Aw, poor Sid...
I was half-expecting the last panel to include Ben and Eliza on their way back to the office as the two groups just miss each other again!
Hmm, Yakety Sax wasn't composed until 1958, otherwise It'd be soundtrack-appropriate, there. 😉
It can be more fun, they can meet as all four go to the lunch! :)
Ben: Hey, Wolfe! I..
Sid's parents: Who is Wolfe, Mr Barber? O.O
Ben: Mr Barber?! Oh, yeah, of course. Wolfe is a dog, you see... Mr Barber's dog. (points at Gren) I walked her.
The arc is yet young. I'm sure it'll happen just when you aren't half expecting it.
And the truth shall set you free (of guilt) (¯▿¯)
Also Wolfe, I'm pretty sure they would call out Sidney's name at the ceremony, if only in surprise that he's there ^_^
I thought it was "The Truth Shall Make Ye Fred". At least, that's what I read in the paper.
I was thinking that "The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret" was more appropriate for the situation.
As we say in America: time to man up.
No, please. We're already dealing with enough Americans this chapter.
You do realize it's generally only the ones the rest of us don't like who become expats, right? ^_^
Well - there were James Baldwin and Josephine Baker and Gertrude Stein and others who became expats who were discriminated against in the US. So maybe they were leaving because they were "dislked" but....
I like to give everyone a choice. (It's the same choice for everyone.)
Are you a man, or are you a muffin?
If they choose man, then I tell them to man up.
If they choose muffin, I tell them to rise to the challenge.
Either way they're going up.
Sid is a man, so he can man up.
Woman up is unnecessary. They're generally already there. We're just trying to catch up.
Aw, that's sweet of you. But hey, if the woman's already there, then at least I can call her a muffin: a sweet thing everyone is happy to see.
So... they're going to end up at the graduation ceremony at the anchor. :D
(Quite possibly just in time for Harry to come through, perhaps?)
That was my first thought as well.
ooh I hope so
Happy Valentine's Day!
Wolfe and Sid are gonna be dating by the end of this arc, clearly.
I think Wolfe is asexual, tho...
nah, wolfe isn't asexual. mal is, though!
Me, fully aware of this fact for multiple years: :o
I think you're thinking of Mal. Wolfe is quite interested in (and apparently to) the ladies, especially redheads :)

Which is how Lust ensnared and extracted info from him:

Wolfe is keeping his options open - see [https://widdershinscomic.co...](https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/character-questions-3 "https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/character-questions-3")
Florrie thinks otherwise.
I think Sid's heart is spoken for. In any case, who'd knowingly risk Harry's wrath?
Fair, however: Sidney has two hands.
Oh good, we have at least one reasonable person in Widdershins during this chapter.
I don't know, I think Sid's reluctant "The Anchor […] that's where she…" statement fits perfectly.
Also, I was going to say that Wolfe's "Using the most powerful of weapons - _the truth!"_ line would be cheesy for anyone else - but it's actually still cheesy for him - he just gets away with it because he's Wolfe!
Guys, don't you forget... you know, someone and someone? Mysteriously missing? ;)
Ben and Eliza get back 'oh no :( sid and wolfe have been kidnapped :( '
Egad, another mystery! To the Elizamobile!
Where is Gren?!
She went with Ben and Eliza, remember?
I love Wolfe so much. I wish I had that kind of force of untiring positivity in my life.
I want to Be the Wolfe in my life- And my friend's lives. Where can I get a violin...
In Widdershins, everyone can hear Sidney Malik scream.
With such a high-pitch and squeaky voice, sure.
"There is no canon voice, DP" you might say, but the throat normally tightens when suffering from anxiety, and I cannot think of a more anxious character, other than Harry's other sister. Not the other other sister.
>I cannot think of a more anxious character
Not even Knotty?
I forgot about him. I mean, he hasn't shown up at all this chapter (I think?), nor is he intrinsically linked to the supernatural side of the Widdershins. He's just... there.
Also, his anxiety is not quite Lancelot-level.
No, Eliza is the only one of that set of characters who's shown up in this chapter. I have to say, I've never really thought of Sid as anxious per se; he's certainly in a State at the moment, but in general I'd describe him as excitable more than anxious.
that's where she...
Yeah, Sid's parents know
The knowing looks in this comic go with "Mr. Barber" asking for a moment alone with Sid before they catch up.
The extremely charming "Mr. Barber" whom Sid will not stop hanging on. "Barber," about whom Sid has told them so much. Except, in his letters, he originally stated that Barber was a woman--wonder why he'd lie about that.
Sid, who's very flustered about something.
They think they know something, but I'm not sure they know the right thing.
Actually, when did he stop sending letters again? Was that immediately after he was expelled?
I may have overstated my case. Still, that was my read on it.
I really can imagine Sidney desperately keeping this up until the graduation ceremony... and sympathize. Anxiety and denial be like that sometimes.
But...but...what about self-inflected wounds? Those happen with weapons, don't they?
The Truth is a powerful weapon...but sometimes it can be so darn hard to handle correctly.
Romantic? Maybe not. But BROmantic...100%
