Time travelers do a lot of voluntary policing of each other, and it also turns out that reality is somewhat self-correcting. Example of both

Highly appropriate for today.

Voltaire is Pandora's Ex They were not able to have a chld. But Pandora had a son with a mortal and that kid gets all her attention. Volty is setting up machinations to humiliate, hurt, or kill Pandora, Adrian, and/or anyone close to them. All out of petty jealousy. Jerry did warn Susan, Nanase, and Grace about the hissy fits that can erupt when two immortals who chose the same name show up at the same place. A jealous rage where any number of noncombatants may be injured or killed would not seem out of character.

... Oh, dear. Suddenly, I can't think of this as anything but ominous foreshadowing... thank you.

You guys do realize something is going to go down in the next page, right? I mean, an entire page focusing on the Cheerleadra landing and getting ready to transform into Elliot? I have a feeling we're going to find out what his spell does earlier than expected :3

Who cares? If your colonists move in and find a nice depopulated area with lots of land ripe for tilling and growing, they'll take it and won't complain.

Say, I know I am about two weeks late, but if I may refocus the discussion on the page initially under discussion again: I hate that this page doesn't show the title of Elliot's book. Looks rather blank, based on panel 2. This may, of course, be a mistake by Dan, but it creates more doubt that the totally normal book really is Elliot's spellbook. (Maybe it really is a totally normal book?) And, to weigh in on the whole gender discussion; I feel like this page further confirms that Elliot could be agender or gender-neutral in some form, which I have been suggesting since back when this page came out. I am happy ^_^ If Elliot got a new power, may it be "turning other people into men"? That would be amusing, knowing Ashley's comment on this page. It would be the cutest non-binary relationship :3

Considering it's Sarah's imagination - or maybe dream - whoever she's looking at is likely Sarah and she will be VERY confused by this. And maybe raises her Kinsey scale number again.

Nice beach balls.

Hiding a weapon behind the speech balloon? I'm surprised the Joker never attempted that trick against The Batman. It is definitely in the "So Crazy It Might Work" category.

Dangit. You beat me to the Underthing. Also, h0I!!!!!!! I think the "Rad Squirrel" NP arc lends itself perfectly to Undertale slays. BEHOLD! Sweater with two darker stripes? Coincidence? ...probably. "You are an... interesting child." I have no idea why Alphys is holding a gun. Just roll with it. I put waaaaaay too much work into this one. (ignore the purple square on Chara's head in panel 9; I distinctly remember deleting that like three times, but nooooo. I'll try to fix it later. Maybe. probably not.) [Edit 4/1/2017: Fixed the purple square] (Undertale sprites courtesy of the Spriter's Resource, with occasional edits and recolors done by me as needed)

Ohhh! A new spell for Elliot... If I were Magic I'd give him an awesome autopilot... that followed the GPS instructions to the letter including obeying speed limits, traffic lights, and always stopping for pedestrians crossing the road. I'm not sure if I'd make him follow the roads at a height of six feet, or fifty, either way he'd be at the mercy of traffic, the spell having him follow the rhythm of road bound traffic while paying no attention to birds, drones or anything else that flies. I can visualize the look on her friends faces when they learn that Cheerleadra is stuck in traffic and can't figure out how to disengage the autopilot... It's probably a good thing that it's Dan writing this comic and not me...

Personally, I think it makes as much sense for him and Ellen to be agender or nearly so. The preference for being one or the other sometimes could easily be wanting to experience things differently. He doesn't really seem to care about the girl vs boy part of it so much? It seems like what he likes about one or the other form has to do with things secondary to gender or the sex of the body: anonymity, feeling attractive in a particular way, gender roles (how people treat him/what people find acceptable), height/perspective, seeing more colors of red, everything cheerleadra... Whereas Tedd seems to have a more basic need to specifically be a girl some of the time. He still enjoys much of the other stuff, but it doesn't seem to be the driving force. I could be wrong, but I would put Eliot as agender, or agender to mildly genderfluid.
