1: A more adult Julia is walking outside at night, leaving a car behind her. She is still dressed like Naomi Rider but with short hair dyed red.
2: She stands beside her boyfriend at the time, a nubien ibex, who introduces her to his sister with an arm around her. This is a halloween party, they drink punch from goblets, her boyfriend dressed as a road warrior and his sister a mummy. On a table nearby is a family photo of this ibex family.
3: The three are seen on the same side of a table, playing a card game. Julia and the sister laugh together while the boyfriend seems distracted by another girl. All are drinking with many snacks nearby, some decorations of skulls and fall vegetables.
4: Julia sulks by a wall, pawing at her phone while the boyfriend continues to flirt with other girls, this time a bunny dressed as a race car driver.
5: The sister leans in on Julia’s shoulder to comfort her, they both share smiles.
Hm.
Past girl, maybe incoming tentacles and teeth?…
I know Julia’s locked in a hellscape right now, but seeing her past is so adorable. And oddly nostalgic. Is this high school?
Naom Rider and the unwrapping of the mummy’s bandages?
Might take the better part of the movie, that’s an elaborate pattern there!
Julia arrives with boyfriend, is introduced to mummy girl.
Julia flirts with mummy girl.
Boyfriend flirts with bunny girl while Julia is bored.
Julia hooks up with mummy girl instead.
That’s how I’m reading this, at least. :-}
I read it as the guy just being her friend, and her just starting to get bored as the evening goes on, but I can see it that way too.
Julia arrived alone, is introduced by the host, gets bored at some point, and is approached by the horn gal. That’s what it looks like.
Looks to me like the guy is introducing his sister judging by the picture behind her in the second panel
Ooh yeah, that’s a good catch. Makes more sense that way anyway. :-}
Um, I hate to point this out, however:
The comment that begins, Tuffers and Vaughan podcast, goes to a site with adult content on it, or at least…it is a site that might have computer viruses on it.
That comment probably needs to be removed. Cheers.
Cool. It’s gone now. Thanks. 😀
This looks like a Halloween party.
I like the costumes, + the way the people are drawn.
I like the diamond patterns on the mummy girl’s costume. 😀
It’s a brother introducing his sister, the family photo plus the alt-text “So your whole family is really just super tall, huh” makes it pretty clear
I’m on a phone, i don’t know how to see the alt text. 🙁
If you’re on Chrome (on an iPhone at least) hold your finger on the image until the menu pops up, the alt text is written at the top of the menu.
Oh cool, thanks!
Please, could we have a chapter, with the bunny character in it?
She’s really cute! 😀 😀
