    A German violinist?! What's next, a British dancer?

    What a beautiful soul/spirit Wolfe has.


    I just realized: he's making the audience's spirits more peaceful as well, right?

    • Tatz 14 years ago archived

      It sure seems that way, although like others I'm still not sure what Jack sees is their spirit so much as their emotions... But I have to admit, I'm slightly curious to know what Jack sees when he looks at Wolfe regularly, that convinced him to travel with him. Wolfe seems like a decent guy, but all I've noticed Jack seeing before is negative emotional aspects...

        I think you may have answered your own question a bit there, chap.

      • Ontogenesis 14 years ago archived

        I think Wolfe must have a peaceful/beautiful emotions/spirit in general, so that's why Jack can tolerate (and maybe even enjoy?) his company.


        Lovely page. It's nice to see such a fulfilling spirit as opposed to what we've seen so far.

    wherever you go, let your spirit show, for it will glow better then you know, like a radiant halo. So bring friends in tow, it is brighter together you know?


    So be ready when that ill-wind will blow, so you don't get got in the storm's shadow.


    Find me on DA today, and just here to say I love this comic and Darken by the way.

    So, does Jack contribute to the performance?

  • Sanjay Merchant 14 years ago archived

    I think it's less that Jack's seeing their souls and more that he's seeing their emotional states.


    Maybe Jack's role is to deal with hecklers? I know from my days busking that they can be total buzzkills.

    Also, this page is really beautiful, both visually and in the story it tells.

      I guess he can also mind the money too so Wolfe can concentrate on

      playing without someone sneaking by and helping themselves to wayward

      coins...? Hehe, yeah somehow I imagine someone heckling Wolfe and simultaneously ruining the spiritual atmosphere might find themselves the sudden target of some rather sharp words from Mal anyways, huh? ; p

    I've always really liked the colors in Panel 5. Reminds me of a Chagall painting.

    It's hard to steal the pot when O'Malley can see the intent coming...
