Vote for I, Mummy to see a preview!
Lots of revelations today.
What do you think of “Lewis” being a young lady?
Original Script
She has a purple burn under one eye. Jane looks down at her arms. They are covered in nasty purple burns. JANE Oh no. Not already. GHOST Your vitality diminishes. Without the necklace you slowly wilt. JANE Please, I must find some bandages. The sun light burns me. BOY Smiling Why not. I am still alive and feeling reckless. I know a place. It is not far. They talk as they climb over fences, walk along a canal, climb fire escapes, under tubes and between crates. JANE What is your real name, ‘Lewis’? BOY Lewis will do. JANE But, that’s a boy’s name! LEWIS How did you-- JANE When you smile.
Didn’t see that coming, but it’s appropriate; as a comic about a mummy, nothing here is skin deep.
🙂 It was REALLY hard not to spill the beans on this one. Everyone here has secrets.
I think Neil puts it rather well!
Well, how about that? I daresay “Boy” has won the award for least-apt nickname.
I’m an untrustworthy narrator. 😛 Teller of tall tales and merchant of baldfaced lies.
I am officially trolled! And wait to know to what deeps you did this to me Andy!
I really must comment on the art on this page. The characters are beautiful, we can really see Jane’s youth, and “Lewis” in his… er… her new role!
Thanks for a great page!
Thanks, this page almost drew itself. I’m very happy with how it turned out. And, this was a troll long in the planning. 😀
Well, how about that–she’s still a felon, though.
Actually, when I think about it, that could be a useful skill set. 🙂
He-he, having a street-smart allay should help Jane in her quest.
what with being dead and all, is jane immune to pain? otherwise, she must be remarkably stoic (if ou don’t consider her temper). those burns look mean. that last panel looks like lewis may be thinking about reviving the knife in the back plan.
I’m sure they don’t feel great and Jane does feel pain, but not the same way other people do. She’s kinda one step removed from it so she feels it when she remembers that it hurts, if that makes any sense. Like when she fell off the blimp at the beginning of this adventure. 🙂
I’m glad Jane’s weakness to sunlight was brought up. Ever since the beginning of the chapter the fact that she’s been going around sans-bandages in what appeared to be broad daylight was bugging me. Not a whole lot, since I knew you probably had some sort of plan, but still.
Wearing the necklace had slowly restored her “health” to the point that she could see and be possessed by ghosts. Now, without it the effects are slowly wearing off. Like a phone battery, she fades faster with use. It’s only been about 12 hours since the theft. If you compare Jane’s skin to earlier pages it’s gone from pink to white. As white as aged newsprint anyway. Now with poka-dots!
I like her much better as girl.
