Poor Ben. He was having such a good time, too.
Oh my god ben they're right behind--- oh no he's wearing airpods he cant hear us!
Such a change from a few years ago though, Ben isn't getting that mad or stressed at Mal even though he's having a little storm off. And it's Ben going to retrieve Mal and not Wolfe also
Oooh, Mal is just going to love the twins, isn't he. 😆
Where did we see the twins before this story?
They are ... related to Ben?
oh they will be introducing themselves shortly, have no fear
Poor Ben. He was so happy, overall.
Oh hey, I didn't notice they were Thackereys too!
You can click on their tags to see their previous appearance (they got Harry and Sid to see the princess!)
They haven't appeared on the page until this chapter, but they were mentioned in a character Q&A and the Sloth section of Curtain Call. They're Ben's older siblings.
Yeah, they're going to be all bright and shiny, just like any other wizard... just in duplicate.
I think past Mal would've enjoyed needling Ben about his siblings (cousins? can't remember for sure atm) being more successful/magically attuned, but my guess is that present Mal will probably take Ben's side and find them very obnoxious
At least they're not in chiaroscuro. 🚻
Would be interesting to see those two ladies in Malleyvision, to know why Mal was so rude to them. But he probably doesn’t need a reason.
Because they are staring at him and making rude faces.
omg Eliza and Ben are so cute <3
let me guess. these two are the cousins that were mentioned in the sloth art lol
*arc
Ooooh boy. Are the twins going to greet him as "Benji" too, or is that just a Vee thing?
Yes. (Ben only lets Vee call him Beji, but the twins will try anyway)
Uh oh, it's Ben's family!
The shining eyes in the last panel. Am I the only one who is thinking "uh oh!"
Teleports behind you
jiiinx :D
This kinda energy:
Also I forgot to say yesterday but I like how prominent Nicola's badge is in that panel!
He was asking for trouble, now he'll get double
If B&B are here then so are Sid and Harry. It's where The Queen told them to go. Harry gets on with Mal so perhaps she can talk him round. Then again, she's having a tantrum too, so perhaps not.
I am, yet again, astonished at the amount of facial expression conveyed here with 4-6 short brown lines.
