Dragonrider, I think his name was that when he pissed off Maxus. I mean, would YOU want Maxus volcanically angry with you? =O Not ME! Pissing off Calliope just ensures that Douchebag has NO place to hide and will suffer a (justifiably) horrible fate one way or the other.
Cat, this has nothing to do with DC but I thought everyone might get a chuckle out of the coincidence. I am reading a series of stories and having just finished one I went to the index to select the next. Its title was ... Briar Patch.
I panel two is Calli holding a disruptor? Edit note in panel two Mira tosses away the idea that Rotter took her in as an orphan. She has Momma no Dad mentioned.
One of Fallons guns, Bet one of the first calls is gonna be to Breakers after she gets the next couple pages in after she outfits Mira, Ray and Minx in some of the best Mil Spec Armour in stock and upgrades hers to current.
He runs the general store, she rents the mechanic shop premises from him and runs it. They'd know each other fairly well just because it's hard not to know other businesspeople in a small enough town, especially when they're the only service provider in town for something you need regularly (food, repair work). There isn't really a "relationship" there other than a business one, and an acidic not-exactly-friendship.
and Rotter is nasty enough to rent the place out from under her if he wasnt being paid so well *thank you Dolly* Rotter is a snake that would get bit and charge the snake for biting him.
Sounds reasonablr think Calli should buy Rotter out and let Ceci work with Mira keeping the wastes clear of vermin, like Gutters. Of course if, in gratitude for services rendered Centcomm made Mira the official New Troy Wastes Patrol and sent Vinnie to help Mira and Ceci just think of all the side stories they could have with Breaker and Crew.
Interestingly, sometimes people like Rotter make some of the best hirables in the field, as they will follow an agreement to the fucking letter ... even if the rest of the world has gone crazy around them, because all they really have is their word as their wealth when it really comes down to it.
Now you see THIS is why I stay on the Taylor's Good side.....I mean yeah they are nice but Piss them off and well... That smoking crater over there kinda proves my point ...that USED to be a continent.....its now Hole 17 in the new Earth Mini put put golf course
YEah Well *walks over to the driving RAnge A boung and gagged DEci on the Tee on his back and passes Calli a spare driver and backsup* Now then do nto mind me I am gonna work on my Driving shots with Calli *and lines up his driver on Deci's groin swings back * FOUR!!!!
Amused, no chance of that. Understand (under the circumstances of someone trying to gain control of CentComm's full weapon systems), probably. But Calliope's anger will be against Douchebag and his gutters.
well done cent and rose on a great page ... whacky blend of comedy and dire drama. i love that our instory cent is a funny blend of bureaucrat from hell, war machine and child ... sends her a big hug (because noone else seems to) ... i wonders what calli will do or build ... if dolly's body is what she makes when she's in retreat from the world, and that was enough to blow a cent's matrix, then what she makes when she's on a mission will be very very interesting
It is an interesting question though, what could she build now that she's seriously motivated ?
Offcourse, since she's mostly a software designer, she'd need someone who's good at building/make the mechanical stuff work.
Hmmm, someone just like .. Mira .. you'd almost think someone planned for that ? Offcourse, what are the chances that a skilled mechanic from the wastes found her way in to one of the very best soft engineers ?
About 1:1 when Centcomm is involved, I'm thinking. :)
I like the way your mind works there, Sheela. Mira and Calliope together could be TRULY frightening what they could cobble up to deal with problems. :-D
Ok! Everybody is concentrating on the 3 of them but I want to know what is Krystal going to do next? Sneaky leaving her out except for a little portion in the 2nd panel.
When someone as EVIL as you, CentComm, says not to worry about something to me that means not only should you REALLY worry about it, but that diving for cover is probably a good idea! :-D
I think they might come to a understanding. Kali's kid (Acantha) and Calliope's kid (Lynn) aren't enemies... In fact, they are friends on their way to being sisters, in my opinion.
I'm thinking Kali won't claim Douchebag... not as a child at least (though he frequently acts that way). Sadly, Kali isn't completely in control of all her actions. At least for now. :-)
the micro text you would have to ask Rose about .. I have no idea.,.. its probably what cent and Cali are already talking about .. in anycase its private between the two of them.. :D
B) wait for it...
C) That proably depends on a lot of factors .. Im trying to raise money for various things and money is time >_<
Hilariously, I was prepared to post a comment to the effect of "I'm surprised nobody's tried to read what they're saying".
In homage to an old film/theater trick, I typed the word "rhubarb" several times over, then duplicated the text layer and offset it enough to blur the letters. :D
I tried to read it but at 4:30 in the morning, had to give it up. Was going to see if it made more sense this evening when I got home. Now I won't spend time on it, though that was pretty funny. :-)
*Gives Rose a Raspberry* Smart Alec. Storm I trien last night I copied page in GIMP cut the text section out and scaled image up nothing went up to a 35% enlargement and it still was blurred so ask today.
I'd actually be surprised if most of us DIDN'T try to read it. There have been quite a few questions about little background details over the course of the comic. I tried immediately after giving the page my initial once over. Now that I know what's up, I can see "rhubarb" in CentComm's bubble but hot Calli's. Wouldn't have if Rose hadn't said anything.
Mrs. Ankur is just one of those stereotypical mothers. "You nevah call. When are you gonna get married and give me some grandkids? You nevah come visit. Your sistah married a doctah, ya know. He's gotta friend who's in banking. Lemme give you his numbah." (I should not try to write New York/Boston accents.)
Damn, you weren't kidding. I missed it back 4 pages in the top panel (Taking Charge), it is peeking out next to Calliope there. I didn't see it anywhere else until the current page when it got noticed. :-)
That is a pretty big gun for one little (unarmed) Waster. :-D Glad Calliope didn't need it (though probably not as glad as Mira is).
Rash~~~
I am NOT hugging CEnty til CEci and DOlly and all are back and intact *ANd ceci is FREE!!!* And I am not gonna change my stance!
PS. After reading the above Rose mental imagery....I really think we should sell al ive feed into her brain as a TV network we'd make a fortune
Centcomm ~~~
we so would... SO much money!
Sheela~~~ A Tokyo Rose chanel would be instantly banned in all 51 US states for being Socialist Propaganda!
And for being one long, continious censoring *beeep* tone.
COMMENT
While the above idea sounds quite entertaining I'm afraid the department of Defense won't allow that because that is what they have planned as a secret weapon in case of surprise attack from North Korea, Venezuela, or Iran
Cent has a follower mind set as opposed to a leader mindset which makes sense if you think about what she was made for. That's as why her plan is a bloody mess to because she doesn't have one.
I fear Calliope's lab will be so specialized as to largely go over Mira's (and about everyone ELSE's too) head.
Now if Calliope took her to the motor pool where her personal transportation is stored, Mira would likely feel that she had died and gone to Heaven! :-D
Any Tanks, APC's so Dolly's doesn't feel lonely, fighters, flying saucers? Mobile Cannon, mobile rocket launchers how many armored divisions can the Taylors equip from their private stocks? And why the H wasn't Lynn in one of those when she headed to New Sparta?
Hitting the random button on all of those recorded moments was genius. If she'd just been looking at her own favorite greatest hits she'd still be soused and Mira'd be a cloud of slowly evaporating crimson.
[Mira has a busy mind.]
(Mira can't hear them,
but I bet Krystal is getting every syllable!)
and yep Mira had a mom and dad.. or a wandering dad.. ( this happens a lot in the wastes )
Offcourse, this makes the Mira & Rotter relation even more mysterious. Will there be a canon story on that ?
and Miras little thing was fun - but Mira cant hear Calli and Cent.. :D
Noone know where the windmill came from though, all they know is it's called 'The Stig'.
He really couldn't stand having someone else do a longer burnout than him.
Dolly is even *more* <RAWR> !
Mama's girl just found the loop hole :D
*hugs Mira and Krystal*
Calliope has found her strength back and is going on the war-path...
So, douche bag and the church - beware!!!
... just don't eat her chicken soup.
And thank you Storm!

Both have a young un to protect.

B.) Will Krystal be involved with Calli's meetings.
C.) How about a reader bonus day and and extra update this week on DC?
B) wait for it...
C) That proably depends on a lot of factors .. Im trying to raise money for various things and money is time >_<

... REALLY loudly!
That is a pretty big gun for one little (unarmed) Waster. :-D Glad Calliope didn't need it (though probably not as glad as Mira is).
It just .. happens .. by accident.

Big whoops, and drooling will occur. :D

What language is Calli and Cent using that Mira can't understand? Or are they just whispering?
12th time through.
:)
