    Ah, those times when curiosity overpowers your survival instinct...


    Loving this comic so far, after having followed from Darken. Thank you for continuing to share your amazing work! <3

    Ahah, a woman with a gun is so non-threatening.

      Gosh, I hope that's not how it reads! It's moreso that he hasn't quite twigged that he's in trouble yet.

        Just thought you would like to know that in the last panel Harry says "charge you so much they and do basically nothing!" when in your transcripts it says "charge you so much and they do basically nothing!"

        I just thought he was trying to bluff his way out of immediate danger or something.

    I love how, not only the gun pointed at him is not apparent as "dangerous" but also the fact that his very instinct has not noticed "Deadly predator" at /all/ in the sight of curiosity. Doggy!

    I think he still thinks it's a magic trick.

      I saw, I was sad, since it was a great comment :(


      Glad you're liking it!

    Shouldn't it be "and they do basically nothing" rather than "they and do basically nothing" in the last panel"?

    • Kate A 13 years ago archived

      Yeah, that's one I fixed for the book, but forgot to fix for the web! Thanks for the reminder!

      • ShadeTail 8 years ago archived

        Still haven't fixed it! :(

  • Skylark Landing 12 years ago archived

    The dog is less than pleased!

    He's not the brightest one, is he:)

    Sid, it's a gun. A REAL gun. Pointed at you. Held by a very angry lady. Do your math.

    Love her expression in the last panel.


    She's gonna have lots of time to get used to him...

    IN A WORLD WITHOUT GUNS...

    NOW HERE'S A GUN.

  • Archangel 8 years ago archived

    Gren's face in the last panel kills me every time I reread the archives.

  • Jordan Bassior 8 years ago archived

    I have actually done this when threatened by weapons. It often works, because it shifts the ground from a confrontation into a social situation, which can befuddle anyone who is not seriously committed to attacking you.

    Ah, here we are! This and the following page, especially as a pair, are my first "favourite" pages of the comic. One of the moments that I keep returning to in my mind over and over. Just really effective character establishment as well as being hilarious. What a response to having a gun pointed at you! The fact that Sidney never stops smiling through this, even when visibly distressed, really sells him as a character and his expression of intrigue in the last panel with the wall of text behind him is especially endearing to me. He also plays off Harry as a comedic foil perfectly, her no-nonsense attitude being utterly stifled. Also "Abra-ca-bloody-dabra" is an excellent phrase.
