Page 77 – Vroooom!
Today I am running around lost in the woods trying to avoid being eaten by bears and blood-sucking bugs. So, it’ll be a few days before I can respond to comments, if ever. Thank you for your patience. 🙂
Can’t wait for the next page?
Vote for I, Mummy to see a preview!
Happenchance, or is someone skillfully muddying the waters?
Armored motor-bicycles? What a concept! ^^
I believe the correct term is: Automotive velocipede.
Either way, they’re bad news. Unless those pneumatic tires aren’t steel-walled.
Ho-ho, a clever plot indeed. If the Famous Hero Jane’s lifeless body turns up, the publicity will ensure that the evil anit-monarchists can take the blame (and the gas). And Jane’s mom will be even more loyal to the crown (since they revenged her poor daughter’s death).
All he needed to do was offer a huge reward. Some poor evil anti-monarchist was bound to bring her in.
He left off the bonus on the reward though. To be honest, it should read: “5000 WD and a bullet.
Armored motorcycles with nothing attaching the front wheel to the main frame. It must work on magic because their design defies the laws of physics. 🙂 That last panel is based on a scene of the motorcycle gang in the anime/manga Akira.
Heck, for $5000 WD Lewis might turn her in. She need’s a new front door for her hideout. But, did you notice Harriet in that panel? 😉
I guess the main purpose of the frontshield is protecting the drivers against strayfire of their own gun. I had some pictures of armored ww2 bikes somewhere… But I see the problem you mention.
It’s almost cute how clueless Flanagan is. Maybe she could get promoted to Captain of the Obvious Division.
Clueless and deadly. 😀
looks like the sheriff is implementing the dead kennedys’ song “kill the poor”. whip up fear of anti-monarchists, give the people a martyr in the form of jane, slaughter the underclass in the name of defending the regime – looks like aggressive gentrification to me.
And it will all backfire since Jane is immortal, even though she will turn into a decrepit corpse if she doesn’t get her amulet back, she will still… well, live and be able to move about.
… Where is that fortune telling fraud anyways?
Even worse, she will eventually be unable to move and still be alive. A fate worse than death.
As weird as it seems, it’s only been about 18 hours since Jane had her necklace stolen. The slow pace of illustrating these pages makes it seem much longer. It’s now almost sunset the day after she was robbed.
… Where is that amulet anyways?
Anyone see things that can be used to jam those wheels? Surly there is some torn canvas/large sheets of cheap cloth from something around here. A “Riot” just happened after all.
… I may know a few two many inventive ways to break and stall things… well If I was going to be any sort of law abiding civilian in the story being told anyways.
Unless they have wheel discs, which got quite popular in the 1920ies (although earlier examples exist). Anyway, the bike in the preview looks like 1930ies design to me.
Or maybe dump some oil across their path and watch them slip and slide right off the road. Even so, there are a lot of bikes. The best course of action may be to run away.
