Ajsgahaj there's a hundred reasons this is an incredible page (pets! banter! I wrote a joke fic of Ben and Will meeting once!) but my fave is that it means I might get to see Ben AND Eliza AND filing on my birthday on Friday !
Don't forget Parsley.
I suspect the World’s most perfect filing system is about to be rearranged by a large dog pulling a small wizard on the end of her lead as she chases a cat around the shop.
I like the way you think
Or small angry cat chasing a large dog around the shop
It occurs to me that as someone who is interested in things being where they are supposed to be, Ben might actually be impressed by her filing system and may not need to fake it.
The fact that Sharpe is completely indifferent to the wonders of Eliza's filing system is not a surprise.
Just look at Ben's face in the last picture.
"Oh my god, she has a filing system!"
Cue [meadow run](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmLsvQaxw3g&feature=youtu.be&t=532 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmLsvQaxw3g&feature=youtu.be&t=532").
Archive run. ;)
But will he have to resist the temptation to "fix" it?
Forgot to tag the cat.
Also Gren. For shame!
Gren and Parsley! The ultimate cast crossover.
Ben: ...Filing system? She has a filing system?
Ba-bump. Ba-bump...
Doki doki.....
...And so the two then proceeded to debate about the optimal filing methods. Were a third-party not aware that both are fully dedicated to their jobs, one might even say they were flirting.
I believe that third party is also fully aware that one of them has a boyfriend that he's completely smitten with, as well.
Wait, what? Are you talking about Ben?
I believe DataProwler was referring to Ben vs Eliza. Not sure who Altzbeta is speaking of. Le shrug.
Agreed about DataProwler’s comment. Maybe Altzbeta thought they meant Ben and Will?
You joke, Sharpe, but you've just met one of the rare folks that WILL be impressed by great filling...
I'd have gone with "You'll be filing for the Dole," but not bad, Eliza.
I want to see Sharpe and Voss interact at some point.
I love their dynamic. And Parsley meets Gren!
ew whose he....fuck that guy..../s
stupid hairbrush of a man disgracing my screen like this,,,, 😔😔 /s
Don't hit me with them negative waves so early in the morning...
She was being sarcastic.
Is that what Gren is thinking about Parsley or Parsley is thinking about Gren?
Will could theoretically recognize Ben, who was at the University at the time of the Pride attack and was the man able to break through the mirrors. Will was there, I think. If so, he has to recall Ben.
I think a number of wizards at the University probably remember Ben and Sidney, but given his....lack of awareness, I have a hunch that Will doesn't even remember his classmates
It's a pity, if so... I'd like Eliza to be impressed with Ben too.
Eliza, you might want to be a field detective, but the most important work happens with documents. A good detective will help for a decade or two, while a simple and well organized filing system will help for a century.
I can see the background shenanigans of the next few pages being born in that last panel.
KITTY !
Parsleyyyyyyy <3
The last panel here is one of those all-time great "every facial expression is hilarious for a different reason" ones.
im love him (and their whole dynamic)
This is just delightful, even though we just saw his story of where he came from and how he got here he seems like he was BORN to be exactly that dude in that shop and I love it XD
White dog meets black cat.
These three are becoming the parts of a well-oiled {with sand in it} machine...
This will either end with A) Ben's mind barely able to comprehend the eldritch chaos that is Eliza's filing, or B) Ben being greatly impressed, but only giving a grudging approval
Maybe I'm too sensitive, but I feel compelled to point out the missing window in the first floor (second floor for the yankees), when comparing to [this page](https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/november-25th-2011 "https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/november-25th-2011").
When looking even more closely, there should be a door on the back side of the H. Barber office, as there is clearly no space for a second room and a door opposite to the front door is occasionally appearing [right to the desk](https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/october-8th-2019 "https://widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/october-8th-2019").
Argh... I should stop thinking about it...
However, great comic! 😆
you're right about the window but the door at the back of harry's just leads to a staircase to the top floor.
To-o-o-o-otally called it...!
