Another anchor? Looks kinda familiar.
Hey, if you're in London this weekend, come to MCM Expo at the Excel centre and say hi! I'll have books and such!

Oh Ho ! It wasn't finished after all !
Now juste don't get possessed or trip on any talisman/magic circle/etc, please, Dominik
No, seriously, do NOT touch anything !
Louder; I'm not sure if he can hear you.
Actually, stop breathing altogether - ah, forget it, he'll screw up anyway.
Oh hey let's send the angry hateful little man to assess an anchor which summons things when people with strong emotions are nearby what a wonderful idea!
I, for one, am certain that Dominik will turn out to be great at anchor-assessment!
(not)
yay you got the knitting right
The stupid anchor! It holds together all of the stupidity for that part of the world!
lol, I had forgotten about the magic anchors, so when I first read this page I was wondering "what's an anchor doing in a cave under a mountain in the middle of nowhere, and why is it so important?" until I remembered.
[Mount Everest](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everest "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everest")?
Far, indeed.
It's almost as if this assignment is a punishment or something.
Whatever gave you that idea? ;)
Report on the anchor? If Private Voss reported that the sky is blue, I'd still want to check it for myself.
Funnily enough, during the third Reich the barmy Austrian and his friends sent a few expeditions off to the Himalaya looking for stuff like this. I'm not sure what they were expecting.
In the Himalayas? Looking for a magical ancient Aryan utopia in a place like that sounds like a Thule's errand.
Well, they had a lot of awfully strange ideas.
Anchors away, me boy
This anchor is very important. So important that the Nepalese have set a poly-lingual knitting woman to guard it at all times.
I suspect she's a trained magician.
Do you wanna try fighting her? Go for it!
No no, go ahead, we'll all be waiting. And watching.
...from a safe distance, methinks.
Too right. Ever seen the 'The Crazies'? - the 1973 version:

Not my kind of film. I like IMDB's description, though: "...a manmade combat virus that causes death and permanent insanity in those infected..."
You're insane after you're dead?
It's possible it was in a different order.
Actually, what they really meant was "...causes death or permanent insanity...", going on descriptions
{oops - wrong place}
I'll get the popcorn. And the binoculars.
Anyone want something to drink?
You'll need a telescope from there -- here, have mine.
Rule number one: do not act incautiously in the presence of a little wrinkly old man. I presume it goes for little wrinkly old women just as well.
Smiling too :)
Is this the witch of the Himalayan anchor?
Do you really want me to answer that outside of the comic? :)
That rock on the left side of the big panel looks a lot like Australia.
im betting on Envy this time around.
Envy is the 'green eyed monster' seems about right.
Join the army, they said. See the world, they said.
Be grateful, you could've been sent to a little village on the French coast...
I think I recognise this reference, but the only thing I can come up with is Asterix...
I like the way the 'steryotypical little Tibetan woman in a cave' turns out to be multilingual and already looks smarter than Dominik. Although on past evidence the rocks by the entrance are smarter than Domink...
By the way, does his musket/rifle have a cork in the barrel?
Some sort of barrel blocker. Makes sense, you don't want dirt, water or other stuff to get in there. Or in this case, snow.
Anchor? I barely even knew her.
Epic. Just epic. Guess we're going to do Envy, aren't we?
I just noticed her eyeline in the last panel is directed above his head :o
=)
