Hi, Ben! Hi, Wolfe! Hi, unsurprising lack of Mal heading towards a massive crowd filled with emotions that would probably make his eyes explode! Hi, everyone else who was going to comment on seeing them but I beat to it!
Hi!
Hi there, how are you?
So Lei is wanting to blow up the Widdershins anchor so her mechanical genius will once again be recognized?
…
Blowing up the boat she's on would work. It's been done.
I believe we're talking about a magical anchor as seen here: [http://www.widdershinscomic...](http://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/february-1st-2013/ "http://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/february-1st-2013/")
You are correct. I was just reading about Lord Mountbatten the other night, though, so that's what prompted that.
Blowing up the anchor . . . 2 possibilities:
1-destroying it negates magic, the engineers take charge.
2-destroying it unleashes all the spirits currently held back, world is engulfed in magical chaos.
I figure Lei thinks (2), which would let her have magic anywhere...
I'm figuring the same thing as fairportfan on this one- with the likelihood of "2" being the actual end-result...
I see Heinrich and Ben, bottom middle panel. Nice add-in!
Hrm...magical clockwork machines + gunpowder + animation with emotion = horde of angry, flying, machine-gunning monsters?
but the ad is right in front of the comic! I can't read one of the panels. Uck
What browser/resolution are you at? Shall try to fix it.
Already caught up, so know what's going to happen, but just noticed for those reading the archives... how did she know where the parade is going to be?
It was really huge news that almost everybody knew. That woman on the train got pretty snarky at Sid because he hadn't known about it.
Re-reading the archives. Just noticed Ben and Wolfe this time around, thanks to the other commenters.
Wolfe and Ben aren't tagged on this page. Is that a mistake or is that not them in the next-to-last panel?
It's them! it's just a tiny lil easter egg cameo though, spotting them where you don't expect them is fun :)
