Well, it’s a new page and the updates aren’t currently as guaranteed as they could be, so people don’t know when to check to start commenting right away.
I thought that’s what an RSS feed is for: it checks for you. Anyway, I prefer to check myself cause I don’t want it coming from a computer. I check when I’m ready, which is most days.
Yes. This was a deliberate thing on my part. You know those scenes where somebody picks up the phone and then starts using key nouns that the other person would have already used if this were a real conversation, a good scene, and not some cheap expository device? I am not best fond of those scenes. So in this case there’s an introductory question/statement/something, about Taurenil’s book – but that panel sucks, so I didn’t write it.
Yes, Rich knows how to cover the angles. There’s a shared poetry between the physical portrayal, the emotions and thought processes that are implied. The way she looks out the window like she wishes to be gone but has nowhere to go. Then looks down as the realisation brings her inward just as the abbot snaps her back into the room. A lot of movement happens there with minimal explanation. Love it.
Very poignant indeed. To have Maula especially regard you as a friend–much less an old one–is a gift beyond price.
This may be a set-up for another clever misdirection (the emotion in the strip looks genuine), but damn if I don’t want to keep seeing where this goes!
From any good investigator’s point of view, "they were friends" doesn’t clear a murder suspect. Lots of people are killed by someone close to them. And Maura’s mention of Taurenil’s "old friends" probably encompasses most of the people at the tournament, yet SOMEONE did her in…
Yes, but the Captain’s theory specifically stated that the motive is an old family feud. It doesn’t work so well if Maula hadn’t hated Taurenil the whole time.

NowI have to go back and re-read. I forget what the “damn thing” is.
I believe it’s the book Taurenil(l?) was constantly buried in, also how does this page not have 100 comments already?

You mean there are people who don’t check daily?
Checking daily for irregular updates gets tiring after a while.

Yeah, same here. I check when I’m ready.
About once a month or so i prefer binging
Yep, sometimes the meaning is forwards a panel rather than back a strip but old habits die hard.

t!
It’s a clever but subtle twist in sequence that keeps us on our toes.
Thanks!
Much appreciated.

I got the Feels from that little scene. So poignant

So the book was new…
Also, here’s another blow to the motive. They were friends.
Unless the Captain wants to either accuse Maula of faking it or come up with a new, more yandere-like motive of murder over neglect.
