@alurker – Can you blame him? I’m separated from her by an entire ocean, two centuries, and the fact that she’s fictional, and I’m still a bit afraid of her.
He’s afraid of her anger because he cares for her, obviously. If he didn’t care what she thought of him, it wouldn’t bother him that she’s angry. He’s been trying to impress her with his inventions since they were children.
One may wonder where she got a blowtorch in this time period, one may also wonder why he’s putting his hands on the door when it’s being melted. The answer to both of these questions is most likely that you’re taking the metaphor too literally…
Philo is a brilliant(ish) inventor, and she’s only using the blowtorch in his imagination, so it’s probably an idea he thought of long before its time and hasn’t got around to patenting it yet. Also, the door is extremely well insulated, in order to protect the occupants from the intense heat as the machine bores through the earth.
True, in real life giant screw-nosed burrowing machines weren’t invented til 1864.
This is an excellent poster for the notorious horror film “Alice 2: The Alicing”.
I sense much Fear in this one.

In case you’re wondering: Philo deserves whatever horrible thing Alice might do to him.

Eye arrows! Why’d it have to be eye arrows?!
If I had eye arrows, who would I shoot first….
Probably the next person who points out the lack of dinosaurs?
🙂
These are not the dinosaurs you are looking for. Move along. Move along.

That’s a good theory. I’ll steal that, if you don’t mind.
Hmm, something tells me she wants slightly more than tea…
Biscuits perhaps?
I think you’re making a cryptic allusion to something…. I’d best not guess.
Nice touch with shadow of arrow on his chest.
Thanks 🙂
This is taking deathly gaze to a whole new level.
Hey, TwoA, I see that your avatar is Raz from Psychonauts! I worked on that game… and had to play-test it until my eyeballs bled 🙂
Thanks for the hard work!
It is currently my favorite game. 🙂

Hmm, when were those old white gas blowtorches developed? I’m thinking it’s a little over a century ahead of it’s time here…

Warning: That blowtorch is only the tip of Unearth’s anachronistic iceberg!
Wow, I want to see an anachronistic iceberg!

I’d like to see that 1864 burrowing contraption, but I don’t know if I’d want to see the horror film.
Yeah, both would be a bore.
I suspect Talewinds is being sarcastic, but it’s hard to tell without hearing the inflection 😉
I hope not. I just can’t stand sarcastic, smart-alec commenters.
Upon me honour,
yer honours,
a pun,
jest fer the pun of it.
I love word play and this comic, and intend no sarcasm.
Happy to have you as a reader… even without the sarcasm 😉
Oh, 1864! Of Course! How silly of me! After all, it required proper double acting steam engines!
