That being said, next week is gonna be kinda bumpy. I've got a lot to do before SDCC, More than one comic-related horse to climb back on top of, and I'm desperately scrambling to build up a buffer so the comic updates while I'm in San Diego. So beg pardon if thigns get a little weird and/or irregular before the month's out. Kthnx.
That being said, I listened to Sleater-Kinney's "Faraway" like fifteen million times this afternoon before I actually figured out that song was about 9/11. King-sized DURR.
This is an interesting piece of characterization for Reagan. On one hand she's being almost motherly here... On the other hand she's doing it Reagan style, stormin' and swearin' all the way (in front of a little girl, no less.)
Yeah, she's pretty much all Zora's has far as female authority figures go, and she knows it. I'll get into it later, but Ray has experience with kid-wrangling.
As opposed to Gene, who's more of a playmate, Scip, who likes kids but doesn't really know how to interact with them, and Ben, who goes into a subtle avoidance mode around children.
Ben goes into subtle avoidance mode when it's a day that ends in y, I'm noticing.
Even so, it's neat the way Ben sort of vanished from the panels completely, and no one noticed until Reagan left the building. "Hey, where's that other guy?"
