Page 76 – The Revolution
That last panel creeps me out. You?
The description in the script for this was, “The doctor towers over Jane like an educated zombie.”

A revolution? Quick Jane, build a barricade!!
Nice job at the imposing creep factor in the bottom panel. Covered in blood, broken glasses, planning to overthrow world order…maybe Jane should send this guy back into the afterlife!
If I read page 63 correctly, and unless he’s a far better person than he seems to be, his soul is probably about to be devoured, and his life fore- and after- will be over.
Delta-V, your astute interpretation of page 63 is correct … but, that’s not what happens. Mwa-ha-ha!
I see that his re-animating hit her a bit harder than the chickadee’s did, but she’s still functional. Very interesting, and, of course, it generates even more questions–well plotted. 🙂
As far as “creepy” goes, well, he’s DEAD, after all. It does occur to me, however, that if he’s trying to intimidate Jane, he’s chosen the wrong victim. Like the man who was fishing for minnows and caught a shark, he’s in for a nasty surprise. 🙂
Yep, don’t mess with the mastermind of the great crypt caper. Also a necromancer.
Oh, bother!
So, let me see if I’m following correctly…
Jane’s mom accepted a commission to be assistant advisor to the Queen, which led to Dr. Santos trying to poison her.
Now, why would he do that? Maybe the Resistance had a more “suitable” candidate who would have gotten the job if Jane’s mom had refused it.
“But then she declined. To be your nursemaid.” I didn’t understand that at first. She declined the commission to become Jane’s nursemaid. Got it.
It sounded like he said: “But then she declined to be your nursemaid.” My brain not work good so much no more.
So, whomever has Jane’s mom’s commission may be a suspect, or at least a sympathizer.
And yeah, that last panel is very creepy. The spectacles really add to it.
You got it! I’m never quite sure what might be jumbled on the page, when it made sense in my head. The previous page went through some late tweaks to clarify stuff, too. Having 3 weeks worth of pages in the queue lets me think about things up until the last minute. Sometimes even after they go live. 🙂
More details about the shadow conspiracy on Monday.
It’s really cool after reading the strip on Tapastic to come to the site here and see it all on one page. Works great both ways, but I really do love a comic book page! Very cool.
You found the secret club, Mike. I used to have the full pages on Tapastic, too. But, when they started promoting mobile strips I tried cutting up the panels as a test and liked the result. So, two versions. 🙂
I love the cut up versions, but I also love the full pages.
It’s like we get two great comics in one!
Thanks, Charlie! I made a Photoshop action to speed up exporting all those panels. Which reminds me, I’ve got an article on batch actions to finish and submit to Webecomic Underdogs.
I read once that the background behind the characters reveals their mental state. That last panel’s off-center angle and the crooked painting says it all.
Are you saying he’s a little unbalanced? True.
Plus, diagonal lines are more exciting than straight ones.
