Page 8 – Boom!
Uh-oh, it appears the spectators are starting to panic.
This marks the 100th page of this comic! Here’s the next hundred, which will almost complete the current story.
Return to this dangerous location on Monday, if you dare, for more troubling events.
Original Script
Still looking through the telescope, the military vehicle’s cannon swivels around and fires a massive shot over their heads.GHOST Something is wrong. Jane looks up from her telescope. There are too many floating vehicles around them. Screams, yelling, and crashing sounds come from somewhere. VARIOUS VOICES Did you see that?! They shot him! Get out of the way. Watch it! No, turn around! Back up! Backup!
Well that could have gone better.
Congratulations on 100 pages! I’m looking forward to seeing what the next hundred pages will bring! Actually, I’m looking forward to the very next page. Curse you and your suspense!
I’m sure everyone will evacuate in an orderly and calm fashion.
Another magnificent page, Andy.
And one filled with impending disaster. Flaming aeroplanes and colliding airships. For the pedestrian’s sake, let’s hope most of them are over water. And hope that none of them are filled with hydrogen.
I was wondering-isn’t shooting at a rogue aeroplane right off the bat a rather rash thing to do, especially in such crowded skies?
You would think that Security would have some aeroplanes, or winged officers to try and stop another plane from going where it shouldn’t. If only to prevent something like this from happening.
What I’m saying is-perhaps the pilot of the aeroplane isn’t the only enemy of the Queen in the skies today.
I could just be overthinking this. Either way, some anti-aircraft operators are gonna be in a lot of trouble.
If only you were looking over my shoulder while I was writing this, Charlie. 🙂
Whomever was manning the no-fly zone around the castle was definitely asleep at the turret. But, you have picked up on a minor plot detail, many of those closest to the Queen may be slightly more incompetent than the average royal crony.
Apologizing for killing an overexcited fan of the Royals is much less disasterous (to say nothing of less personally lethal) than being responsible for failing to protect the Queen. Somebody made the right call in the end.
I agree. I just wonder why they had such a scorched earth (or air, in this case) policy towards errant aircraft.
A couple of flying cops with a net or some ropes would take down a propeller propelled plane pretty quickly, and with a lot less fiery flying.
Either way, we’re at the beginning of a tragedy. Even if, as Andy says, everyone will exit in an orderly fashion.
Congratulations on 100 pages of AWESOME!
Jane better hope she makes it out of this okay. She’s spent enough of her life dead and/or in bandages.
….ohhhhhh crap. Lovely flame details by the way!
Thank you! I know a lot of people complain about rendering fire, but it’s something I actually like drawing–physics, light, motion, abstract shapes. 🙂
Yes, flames. Lovely, lovely flames and explosions. And just after she unwrapped her face, too. Talk about bad timing.
She is a bit pale. Maybe this’ll give her a tan.
