  Oh Rosie

    Rosie keeps getting better and better. Reminds me of a few of the older ladies I know at church. I love how innocent she looks in the last panel.

  Philippe Rousseau was the last pastry chef, the one who was 'sent home'. If Ethan and Philippe were friends, or at least fellow escape-planners in the last attempt, that kind of explains why he's all sarcastic about Alexa's ideas. He's scared! And too proud to show it, so it comes out as anger. No need to postulate a crush. (Unless you want to.)

  
  

  Also... oh, Rosie! :D

    I strongly suspect that Ethan's terrified because of the result of the attempt. We ARE talking about a Deadly here.

  So, is Rosie just speculating, or does she have some experience? Maybe there's a reason she's so cheerful.

    I strongly suspect competence in more than Rosie's cooking right now. >:-D

    Very easily. Wizard is college level or post doc. So we can put her in as a failed? apprentice or low level assistant who knows the basics of a ritual, but needs to have some particular knowledge to do something useful. [Maybe a wizard hired her as a beginning cook and when she grew up, suggested "other duties" which lead to her needing a new job. Having some cook training...]

    Now the need for knowledge and the dumb waiter suggest a journey upstairs in our lass' near future.

  Huh, so apparently everyone has at least a passing knowledge of magic? Is this akin to real world, um, "power creep" in education where cutting edge research 200 years ago is secondary school public education now? If so, that might make Ethan "periodist", and understandably so; if he can't disrupt the summoning with an additional 200 years' worth of magical and scientific advances, how could someone with far less than that pull it off?

  
  

  I suppose that's when we learn that magic is more art than science, and art is timeless...

  Well, the Great British Bakeoff just finished on BBC2 and not a single contestant got eaten by the venue. How dull.

  Ethan is mad at everybody. Nothing especially sexist about him. Our girl is just the newbie, who does more irritating anyway. And we don't see him interacting that much with the others anyway and so likely miss his giving the rough edge of his tongue to them.

  Rosie is secretly a fairy godmother, isn't she?

  The ring around his neck has never been explained. Just sayin'....

    I wonder what era Philippe was from? They might have come as a pair for all we know, the sisters did. Admittedly they came as a unit whereas Ethan seems to be savory and Philippe was the last baker, but weather it was Philippe or someone else, that ring surely speaks of a connection to someone.

  Nice Judge Dredd chin in panel 4.

• Threnodi 13 years ago archived

  Well, technically 'rivet' is a synonym for 'enchant'.. just saying. XD
