In reply to Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity). And you obviously have no idea what you've gotten into by teasing us Narbonites (or should that be Narbites? Well, whatever clever and vaguely science-related nickname us Narbonic fans should have) with an unfinished Narbonic/Skin Horse RPG! Please please pretty please finish it, oh magnificently talented, delightfully creative, and all-around gorgeous webcomic creatrix that you are! (See! I'm even shamelessly sucking up to you! See how desperate I am, nyao?)

Lovelace has no idea what she got into with this situation.

Ah, yes, walking along, talking to his girlfriend, immediately after telling another woman/product of mad science, "As you wish."

Poor Lovelace. She doesn't deserve half of what happens to her.

Saturday:

Silent Penultimate Panels: 33. But I have to say that the placement of the door frame works well to accentuate the symmetry of the panel, lending it a pleasing stillness and rigidity. It looks like a moment that could last forever. And, of course, leaving the panel unframed only complements its atemporality – giving it the appearance of an interruption in the flow of time.

Radio Shack is funny. I've been tossed out of one or two for not being as stupid as the manager.

There are plenty of comics out there with better-drawn knuckles that I like less than Narbonic.

@Diane: Interesting. I had never really read anything plot-specific into that thought balloon. To me it was just a dreadful recognition of an inevitable future occurrence that will make her life much much harder, analogous to the sort of thing most parents I know say in reference to their kids' developing ever-more-sophisticated thought processes or senses of willpower or what have you.

@Andrew: I assumed that Helen's fourth-panel thought balloon is a direct reference to her knowledge about [SPOILER!] Dave's future as the subject of the Tinasky experiment.

But that raises another question: Does Helen get that it's a Princess Bride reference? Judging from her thought balloon in the fourth panel, I'm guessing she does not.
