I don't like this theory. It would mean Susan(and maybe Diane) is related to Voltaire, and that would be terrible, because Voltaire is a terrible individual that deserves to be punched in the face repeatedly (and maybe lit on fire if I let my pyromania do the talking, but fire is the answer to everything in that case) I much prefer the theories and such that lead to Susan(and maybe Diane) are distantly related to Adrian and Pandora, because Adrian and Pandora are awesome people.

The coloring alone would be enough for most, I feel. "Oh, you're going to rob me...darn...but ooo! I'll look sawheeeet while you do it!"

If you're serious about this theory, Voltaire is sure a crappy great-granddad. Also, if Mrs. Pompoms is so wealthy, how come Mr. Verres has such modest means? On the other hand, if Mrs. Pompoms is Edward's cousin, it might give him reason to be as upset as he is with the cheating cheater who cheated who married her.

That and Vladia is happy to look and feel like a human being instead of a freak.

The Egyptian god of magic who summons excellent scones for tea (Possibly a legacy of the long British occupation of Egypt.) It hasn't been officially debunked, quite. However, something Heka almost finished telling to Pandora strongly suggests that Fairies have lots of descendants. (Heka calls Pandora a "Fairy" because the former Fairies calling themselves "Immortals" now implies that they are the only Immortals, leaving out other immortal beings, such as Heka.) It certainly impiies that Tedd, a seer, and Edward and all other human wizards are descended from at least one Fairy/Immortal, which also means that they must have at least one elf ancestor. Adrian told Grace back during Death Sentence that "Half-Immortals cannot have children." But he didn't explain why Grace saw an image of Susan staring back at her from the mirror she'd just used in the previous panel. And Adrian's statement might not be true. He could have been lying (for a good reason, of course) or he might have believed he was telling the truth but was wrong. And since this comic is now over five years old, it is possible that Dan has decided on a different truth than was true when he made that comic. As I mentioned awhile ago, the next time we see Pandora is when she appears in Susan's bedroom where Jerry is puzzling over the relationship (or lack of it) between Susan and Diane. This kind of implies that whatever Heka said to Pandora suggested that Susan was suddenly important to her, even though Pandora had never been shown with or mentioned Susan in the ten-plus years since her introduction in Hidden Genesis. And on the next visit Pandora pays to EGS, she tells Sarah that she told a lie to her son something that wasn't true and ends the comic with the now-notorious statement "Of course they were his!" Now, none of this is absolute proof that half-immortals like Adrian can have children, but if Dan decides that they can't after all this, it proves that Dan is a big doofus.

Thank you, although the cat has buggered off for now and is sleeping somewhere else. One of the outdoor ferals (who's really trying to be an indoor cat, we think) is yowling non-stop outside our front door. Mrs. Prof has gone outside to do her daily (sometimes multi-daily) dealings with him. I think I'll take this chance to raid her ibuprofen. On disk #2 now, verifying 2 TB. Only 3 TB left to go (Only! Ha!).

All indications are that having been alive since medieval times hasn't made Pandora some mental superbeing, it's made her senile. Sure, Jerry's new incarnation might not still be "as insightful as a self-help guru," but there's a huge gap between being able to tell that Sarah and Susan have issues with repression and that Diane and Susan are whatever the heck they are. (I still think counterparts is most likely, since twins makes no sense at this point and half-sisters wouldn't explain their identical phenotypes or simultaneous births; that would suggest at most one was conceived by this Adrian Raven, and since both Susan and Diane have rigid gender identities...) Anything Pandora knows that we don't know she knows is incalculably more likely to concern Tedd than Susan. The only reason to think it might concern Susan is based on evidence we've seen and she hasn't that her conclusions might pertain to Susan. For that reason appealing to the fact that she probably knows things we don't could only bolster the notion she refers to Tedd, to the extent appealing to knowledge we know nothing of could bolster anything at all.

11:10 p.m. CDT 20170625. I had some energy today, which is almost worse than having none at all. You see, I didn't get to choose when I had energy. I had a bit during the Formula 1 race that mostly carried over into the IndyCar race (they were back to back), then a brief spike towards the end of Twin Peaks: The Return, but in between I had nothing at all. I almost missed the beginning of Twin Peaks and would have, had Mrs. Prof not woke me up and had me order lo mein and sushi from the local Chinese delivery place. Hell, even my cat has no energy at the moment. Mrs. Prof woke me up to pull off my compression stocking—that's when I saw him sitting by me on a pillow. He didn't move while I took my nightly pills. I had to pet him to see if he was okay (he is). Incidentally, the compression stocking is doing bupkes, other than making Mrs. Prof's day hell. My edema isn't going anywhere. I may have to go back on the Lasix after all. I still don't know when I'm going to be able to get the GERD test run. That's up to Mrs. Prof's schedule, as is the drop-off of the prescription at the compounding pharmacy, and her schedule is so screwed up it looks like a jumbo pretzel. I'm just waiting for the ENT to start bugging me about it.

Are you talking about THIS edge?

But Hellboy is drawn by Mike Mignola. That gives him a considerable edge.

Nah, I think she did it on Stonehenge. Waaait, she needs to unlock her achievements after every reset, doesn't she? So, both may be true.
