Page 39 – Something Delicious
Mmmm, fresh baked pastries.
We got some wonderful fanart from Illya King last week. Be sure to check out his very silly webcomics The Schlub or Totally Naked Man.
Original Script
JANE Hey, Ezzy. Where are you? GHOST I am here. Always. Here. JANE Where? Oh. Good! GHOST I fail to see the benefit of your circumstances. JANE Sniffs the air as she walks. Mmmmm! Something smells… Delicious. JANE Speaking to Harriet, as her belly rumbles. I don’t suppose you seized my wallet? Jane approaches a woman selling pies off a wheeled cart. JANE Um, excuse me. I am trying to locate an individual. She goes by Madame Simza. Costumed like an occultist. Cavorts with the dead. WOMAN Looking mildly repulsed. I have no acquaintance of such a creature.
Oh, wow. He’s reduced to “Ezzy” now? He hasn’t done that much to inspire sympathy, but that must hurt. Love the punctuation in his first line too. It speaks volumes.
Jane uses that nickname just to annoy him.
I think Jane is fishing in the wrong pond.
Also, I rather doubt that “Simza” is the miscreant’s real name. Jane would be better served using Sir Ezra and Harriet as devices of location in her search. 🙂
Too bad a steam-powered internet doesn’t exist in this reality. She’d probably have better luck putting up “Have you seen this woman? Big reward!” posters all over town.
Love her jumping over the fence. And those scent trails are brilliant.
I don’t think Jane’s just talking to that woman for information. Methinks she’s setting her up for a chickadee heist.
Could a chickadee carry a small bun? It’s not like a swallow carrying a coconut…
To track your enemy you must become your enemy? In this case, a two-bit thief.
Luckily Jane won’t have to stoop so low because … well, you’ll just have to wait and see. 🙂
Oh snap, she already can’t see him anymore. She’s losing her powers fast!
It’s all down hill from here.
Her skin and hair are lighter and even her eye color has changed.
That might be the first time I’ve seen a visual representation of scent in a comic. It pleases me to the point where I can almost smell it through the panels.
Many eateries use orange and brown to tap into subconscious food associations. I’m just abusing our shared cultural brainwashing. If the background had been blue it wouldn’t “smell” the same.
