Patience wears lipstick?
Eventually.
in the space of 5 seconds my own questions have been raised and resolved in an infinitely better way
No... but a little lip kissing turned to necking means EVERYONE wears it!
That was my reaction too.
Yep, that was also my first thought.
An usual trick, there doesn't have to be any actual lipstick there~
Looking really, really closely there might be a few pixels of lipstick. Or it was a trap. But also, there's still a way some lipstick could have ended up there thirdhand...
Not so much of wears as gathered and returned.
i honestly think patience has had the best time of anyone in any widdershins book or possibly just ever.
Honestly I hate to say life goals about Patience of all people but she does seem to just live her life having the greatest time of it she can.
btw they arrested Patience bc they hate to see women in STEM
ngl gang I've been trying to think of a funny relevant acronym for STEM for like an hour. can someone help fill in the blanks and we can make a joke together 👉👈 this is what I've got:
S - smug?
T - ?
E - engineering
M - making out
thanks <3
Does this work?
S-smug
T-technomancing
E-engineers
M-making out
Snickering
T[roublemakers]
Energetically
Mashing?
I'd'a made it Sexy. At least, they apparently thought that about each other.
If we add Thea, we can make it STEAM--they hate to see women Stealing The Entire Anchor, Mate.
Science, Technology, Engineering, and MAGIC!
All of Doris's expressions on this page look like some variation of >:3 and I support her for it
fun fact! >:3 is acually based on Doris. not a lot of people know that Doris invented the written alphabet for this exact purpose.
I thought that was Al Gore. He'd've needed it to invent the internet.
a common misconception! the internet was also invented by Doris! hope this helps <3
I think that last panel is the most genuinely flustered we’ve ever seen Verity. 😂
She just gave Lei all the credit rather than claiming it herself. Are we sure it's really her?
All the assisting work, don't get confused. Specifically, assisting HER with the menial tasks SHE gave them to do! :P
No, she gave her assistant all of the credit. So, ultimately, Verity is responsible for the success.
So, when will Doris' ties to an intelligence organization be shown?
A time-traveling one?
That smug, self-satisfied look on Doris's face....
Looks like Pryce is losing his engineer, too. I wonder if someone will buy the plans/engine from him? The teleportation does work. People could cross to England or Europe in a flash!
It works, but since the only voyage so far nearly ended in catastrophe and was used to facilitate a crime that would've flooded a whole country, it's hard to say if future passengers would have the certainty needed to make it work.
Though it's questionable whether any of the other passengers knew about the South American detour....
Is Pryce losing his engineer, or is his engineer out of work because Pryce is about to go under?
GOOD FOR THEM!!
So this entire chapter has been about shipping?
Cheerio,
Isn't the entire webcomic about shipping?
Also, this entire chapter took place on a ship, so, yes
Does that make the upcoming book a shipping container?
I'll see myself out...
No, a shipmeant.
Verity cracks me up, never change
Wait what's the handcuffing of Patience about?
I mean, she was an accomplice to... uh... whatever crime Pryce... hrm... let's say "vandalism"
But where did the arresting party come from?
See Panel 1, on the right side of the panel.
Oh wow, I somehow missed the entire previous page! I didn't realize they had already docked.
... land, probably?
I do love Kate's background characters. That cop, standing there, basically playing whack-a-mole with the handcuffs.
Dang, arrested the second she came out~ But I doubt prison is gonna stop her for long
Quick reminder: We just had a demonstration of how to teleport with nothing but certainty for a power source. She is going to make her prison break by accident.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Uncle Sam cuts a deal for a shorter sentence in exchange for her doing a bit of work for the Army or somesuch, once all the details about the whole teleporting thing come out.
great story of women winning even when they lose
I am living for Doris and her expression.. Although I hope it's not the last time we see Patience either. Woman may be callous but she's the epitome of 'I do what I want.'
The Good Intentions might be docked (for good?), but it appears at least two other ships have set sail this day. All aboard!
"Doris gets her man" AND VERITY GETS HER GIRL! That seems the more important fact here! No offense to Doris or Tim, love em both, glad they're happy. But neither of them are on the cover of this chapter!!
Only one of these was in question, though.
Stop drop and roll! That was a sick burn. <3
Ironically, the ship has sailed only when the ship came in to land.
Laughing forever at "Drat."
I'm amazed Lei spotted that so quickly form all the way over there. Unless, of course, she's just messing with her and got a truth out of it.
So, bets on how long it takes for Mz Rattaker to bust out of whatever prison they might offer her, and burst right back into the story, somehow?
