Page 43 – There! Where?
More cameos. In panel #2: Pato from “M9 Girls!” by Rulopótamo, and a very lost trio from “Vatican Assassins” by Melissa J Massey. I had to cover Pato’s legs to protect innocent Victorian sensibilities, but the scandalous version is still on Tapastic. At least until the censors take it down.
In panel #5 is Ariane from Ariane Eldar – Private and other comics by SPG/Isambard.

Original Script
Jane follows a growing crowd as it gathers in a nearby square. In the background someone is giving a speech about the proud history of Crater City. SPEAKER (Drones on behind the following panels) Blah blah blah Jane searches the crowd while eating an apple. She throws away most of it. GHOST There! JANE Where? I don’t see her. GHOST Not her. Him! Zoom in to show the boy who helped at the séance.
It is aboubt time that I will open a gallery for fanart soon. (And Ariane found a good ghostwriter for her speech.)
Ariane appears on the next page, too. I think you’ll like it. 🙂
A scandalous secret version where you can see her ankles!? Sir, this will not stand! I shall forthwith contact your publisher, to let them know about the filth they are allowing in their otherwise fine publication. Good day to you!
Even worst, her thighs! Naughty Pato, indeed!
I resent your insinuations, Sir!
There are no exposed ankles on this page or any so-called “secret” version. I’m saving the bare leg fan service smut for NEXT Monday!
He’s probably the weakest link, all right. The only question is how much he really knows.
I see that you have forsaken torturing yourself with architecture in favor of using people instead. What on earth are you doing penance for? 🙂
No one is ever quite what they seem in this story.
And, I could be insane. Quite possible. I’ve recently added a few choice hints in future pages of the “Oh crap! No way!” variety, so a Third volume is going to be required. Ce la vie.
I would not be at all upset at the possibility of a third volume. In fact I may even lumber about in a crude parody of a dance at the prospect. ^^
Pato, always the provocateur! And it looks like the Vatican Assassins have been lost thru many comics, since last time we saw them in Groovy Kinda.
I know, it’s almost as if they don’t know how to read a map that isn’t shaped like a boot or something. Unless…
Maybe they’re undercover. Secretly posting as lost tourists so they can reclaim artifacts across the entire webcomic multi-verse!
Oh, the Assassins look so good in color!
And thank you for covering up Pato’s “charms.” This comic flirts with an adult rating enough as it is, what with all the supernatural elements and bird poop.
I love your crowd scenes, Andy. So much going on, and so many men carrying things behind their backs, or looking into their hands. I’m sure they’re not government officials, looking to stir up trouble to make an excuse for arrests and head busting. No, not at all.
And it’s him! That kid!
Now all they have to do is press some coins into his palm and calmly go and peacefully get the amulet back.
Sure. It’ll be a walk in the park. And we know what that’s like in this world…
I had to ask Viola to pick a more modest uniform. We wouldn’t want them to be arrested by the fashion police before they can complete whatever mission they’re on.
Walk, in the park. Ha! Too bad Jane has no money.
I was wondering if we’d see that kid again!
He might be important to the story.
I knew that “Boy” had more of a story to him than simply being Madame Simza’s lackey. Looking forward to seeing his story.
Who’s to say he won’t vanish into the crowd, never to be seen again? Aw, who am I kidding. You’ll just have to wait and see what happens. 🙂
