Swan Eaters by Georgia Dunn for October 30, 2020

Uh oh…

uh oh. Here comes the questions I suppose. I do hope the answer isn’t too tragic.

The expression on her face doesn’t seem very encouraging.

Oh, yes! I remember that first shower after survival training. After about two and a half weeks out in the mountains with very little food (they wouldn’t quite let us starve) and no bathing, it felt SO good to use soap and shampoo!

(Quit laughing you Army and Marine Corps types! Two and a half weeks in the field is a long time for us Air Force prima donnas!)

I don’t know precisely, but the last time I saw one of those things was in the Android version of “Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath”, where it was being stuffed into a crossbow to be used as a proximity mine with teeth.

(I think they called it a Fuzzle or something…ironic name for something so deadly, given that it’s basically a stress ball that bites back)

So Olwen has given birth three times. Have I forgotten a character or have we yet to meet someone?

“Shirt that Wigglesworth wore under his rags”???? Was Wigglesworth once a more human type, or do those beings in that world wear regular clothing? Hmmm.And yes we knew days ago Vesper and Wigglesworth stayed behind. I like to think to get Wigglesworth back on the throne to take over from his evil brothers, and of course Vesper is in love with him and would stay with him…

The little fuzz ball makes me think of Wigglesworth. Could it be a baby Wiggy? “I am Groot.”

Pilot’s hair seems to be getting white splotches (as opposed to streaks). Does that mean he is gaining powers? Inquiring minds want to know (IMWTK)

What’s the little animal (?) bouncing around? Looks like a larval Martian from Heinlein’s “Red Planet.”

I thought the answer was given away on August 7th.

I’m surprised it took Salem so long to realize that Vesper and Wigglesworth didn’t return with the rest of them.

What’s the happy gray thing hopping about?

Most intriguing. Interesting puff ball bouncing about. That look from Hickory looks to be one of curiousity about the question. But the look shared between Olwen and Pilot is saying quite a bit. And right now I’m not sure I’m liking what I’m reading into it. REALLY HOPE I’m just reading too much into it and it’s not about the skulls from the teaser poster.

I’m not going to like the answer, am I?

Could be that Vesper and Wiggles are off on a “side adventure” and will come back into the main storyline later… or after a conclusion to the current arc, which is suddenly slowing…

…everybody seems to think that the two skulls were Wigglesworth and Vesper because they’re were a demon and a human last seen together, but that goon Walter and that evil demon were ALSO last seen together. I’m hoping that those skulls belong to Walter and his demon buddy, and that Wigglesworth and Vesper stayed behind in the other realm…

…now, WHAT ABOUT OLWIN’S OTHER KID??? Boy or girl? Alive or dead? Good or Evil? Is it a male and a look alike to Offal? The one that was in the placeholder comic strip that was up while we were waiting for it to start again? I thought that one looked too intelligent to be Offal…
