Oh, and the 19th Century smelled better than the 18th! I was about to describe the layer of “mud” in the streets of London (& Paris too), but decided not to.
I don’t know. It looks more to me like critical scrutiny, as if Alice is thinking, “Where is the best place to punch this person for maximum devastation?”
Something interesting to point out here. Alice say she might have been nobility if she had gone down the aisle, and got married. But then I would have missed out on all this. This tells me that in her heart she is an adventurer, and is actually Philo’s other half. Even though Philo doesn’t really comprehend this yet. You know Matt, I really love action/romance/adventure stories. You really need to do this comic twice a month. PLEEEEEEASE?
I would if I could. The trouble is that I have a day job, a side job, a family, and a caffeine habit that would kill a horse. (P.S. I know I have another comic, “Geek Fortress”, but it takes very little time, and I’d done half the strips years ago and never posted them.)
My Pretty? I mean, I know this would predate the original play, but really?!
Hope every is well and staying safe.
The Queen did say she was a pretty one – and at this point she thinks she owns her, so “My Pretty” makes sense!
“My Pretty” may be a bit heavy handed, admittedly. But I do like the foreshadowing.
Indeed. The shape of things to come? Perhaps.
“And your little dog, too!”
I wonder if that’s why she’s so… green.
Ooooh, plot thickening! Min you, the main reason why she didn’t go down any aisle is her runaway fiancee, but that’s not . . . all her fault.
Not her fault at all, really. It really more like: Philo is a coward.
And what was Philo running from?
I’m not saying he’s blameless, or even minorly to blame. But Alice is quite a lot.
Oh, and what a drain it is!
It is a drain, really really. Funny that no one has mentioned the smell 😉
It’s the beginning of the 10th century and they’re all rural types. They’re used to it.
Damnit: 19th.

Thanks. All major cities had that “mud”. <8C
But even outside of the cities, the smell was . . . ripe.
Interestingly, if they then were brought to here, now, they'd find our own time as ripe and unpleasant.
In the last panel Alice’s face shows interest rather than anger, distress, scorn, or upset. [ArteJohnsonVoice]Verrry Interestinggg…
Bro, Good one.
Was it a mistake… or foreshadowing?
I don’t know. It looks more to me like critical scrutiny, as if Alice is thinking, “Where is the best place to punch this person for maximum devastation?”
Humala Duck, you make it sound like Alice’s angry behavior is all carefully thought-out instead of out-of-control anger. Hmmmm…
Oh Alice, you’re such a feisty gal. Does she ever on a more calm level? I swear, that gals always ready for a fight. Or so it seems.
Ever speak.
