    But, can they reach another district and get settled in within two days, or will Mr. smiles be meeting the new gutgrafter while being half ‘armless? Then again, might be safer for the new doctor that way!

    Anybody else get the weird feeling that the doctor that was originally going to link up our lady’s brain to that robot linked up his own instead to get out of that sticky situation he was in?

      Or the doctor (Butcher, wasn’t it?) dove into a safe room after sending the robot out to run some errands. Then he blew the place up to cover his tracks.

          Rip off what? It’s not like we can remember this stuff. Anyways, you still have to draw the pictures. Unless, of course, you just start doing everything like XKCD stick figures.

          Let’s see, Butcher wanted that lady’s head for some reason. Virgil still has it, right? And he’s taking it somewhere to someone who wants it, but we don’t know who for sure. And that lady’s mother still isn’t getting that head, or she wouldn’t have sent out what’s-his-face. She’d just wait for Virgil to drop by, or send someone to pick him up.

          Thing is, though, the head is dead. It wasn’t frozen in the first place. It’s just rotting meat now. So someone wants that skull and skin. Butcher knows that the brain will be dead, if he received the head. Someone wants to take that head to stick it on a robot, to do something to get back at that lady’s psycho mother. Butcher wanted the lady’s brain, and was going to interface it to the robot, so I’m not sure that Virgil is taking the head to Butcher. Kind of doubt it. Butcher had higher ambitions, and a living brain was necessary.

          So many crazy threads.

            ooh, stick figures…. i mean, that would certainly help me hit post dates with ease…. something to consider.

            but yeah, the plan was botched right from the start. on page 5, through a silly slip of a claw, her head never made it to the bucket. so, part of the fun comes from watching people struggle over something that only we know, or believe, is pointless. it’s like watching the maltese falcon the second time.

    ….This means something. I’m hearing the old “Twilight Zone” playing in the background somewhere…..

      It’s just where Clarke stopped drawing the map of the comic’s world.

        wait, that’s me…… oh, i actually plotted things out geographically, but i think sharing that level of mundane detail is something you’d want to save till you have the ground level vibe well established. one day….

      haha, i’m hinting at plot lines far down the road. there’s short arcs, and wide ones.
