Considering that magic is jerking him around, i'd say his reaction is justified.

Tedd's reaction doesn't bode well. However I love Pandora's response in the last panel.

Well as Elliot told Tedd they "live in an era where even [Elliot] has a camera in his pocket. Sooner or later magic is going to have to compromise."

Ok, I am showing just how much of a casual computer user I am. The first time I read that line, I thought you said "Idiots work well in Texas."

I don't think Tedd could declare war on magic. He doesn't know magic's address. Kind of hard to go on the offensive when you don't know your enemy's location. As for the strong reaction? Learning the new details of magic and then teaching others how to use the new magic could be difficult and take a very long time. If magic resets he could be studying and teaching magic for the rest of his life. And he might never get as far as he has in the current system. Also Magic is acting like a spoiled brat. Why does Tedd need to be Magic's Babysitter? Is Tedd supposed to give magic a spanking?

Wrt arc, or rather line, names in Sister: “You look in the mirror, but someone else looks back. You remember a life you never had, one that cannot be yours. You are the piece that does not fit, you don't belong in this game. The board has been knocked over, you shall be swept away…” —Dan Shive (This was packed into a strip title for some reason.)

Well, magic is basically telling Tedd to abandon his own plans...and by the way, get ready to do some chores for Magic. That has to rankle. That's why I also like PCR's answer in the last panel.

Thanks to SF Debris, I am able to present the following transcript of what actually went on between the whales and the aliens: Whale 1: Oh God, it's them... Whale 2: Tell 'em... tell 'em I'm not here, maybe they'll go away. Alien: Can you hear me? Whale 2: Yes! A deaf man could hear you! Whale 1: So are we going to talk or are you just going to sit there, dumbass? Whale 2: Jesus Christ, would you just get on with it! Alien: So, um, we were just, um, kinda wondering how everything is? You never call. Whale 1: We're whales, of course we don't call. We have no radios, idiot! Alien: Hey, there's no need for that. We just came to help! Whale 2: Help? You're trashing my fucking planet? Dude, what the Hell? Alien: Huh? Whale 1: You're destroying the oceans. You know, where we live? Just fuck off already! Alien: If you're gonna be that way, fine, we will! At which point the aliens leave. No, don't thank me. It was my pleasure. For more Star Trek in-depth analysis, please visit SF Debris at www.sfdebris.com . Enjoy.

I thought it was a Pocahontas remake.

But only on the plains....

My wife calls this 'kitty feng shui.' It operates according to the principle, "What is up must come down. What is down must be batted around."

Check panels five and six of this installment. With today's revelation, Tedd now has the knowledge that he'll be able to regain the functionality of the tech and whatever other magic things he cares about which he might lose, should magic change. It just hasn't sunk in yet. He needs to calm down first.

So calm of her, because cue the history of his parents. Panel 6 (amongst all). Arc names in Sister. All chuckles.

Yeah, but Elliot also wanted to ask Immortals to help with giving trans people the bodies they yearned for. Ellen gave many reasons for why that wouldn't work. I imagine there are many reasons why trying to force the WoM to capitulate might not work either.

Tedd can choose not to do anything, but he'd of course be torn by his desire to work with magic, and he'd probably have to live with seeing magic all around him, tempting him to do something with it, even if there are other seers in the world to get people using Magic again.

10:44 p.m. CDT 20170627. Had to deal with some medical bureaucracy after working hours today. I'd put in a call to my primary care doctor to find out about the referral to the new pain management doctor, at Mrs. Prof's request. His nurse called back with details: said additional details had been requested by the new doctor, which had just been faxed on Monday. In short, I should hear from the new pain management specialist within the next few days. More annoying, I got a call from a medical verification company hooked up with Blue Cross called "Equian Integrated Payment Integrity Solutions" tonight. Of course, they didn't show a good caller ID, so I didn't answer the call. It took me three tries going through the voice mail message before I could get down their phone number and case number. You see, they'd sent a letter last week because I'd had a back procedure (the lumbar injection), and they wanted to know if it was anyone's fault that they could sue, basically. Cold blooded bastards. I answered the letter online and gave them the bad news that it was just a spontaneous illness. Well, tonight they wanted to know about procedures around that same date. Those were for my toe, when I fell. I could hear the agent licking her lips when I used the word "fall" in my description. Sorry, lady—this was in my own house, and it was treatment for something that was my own damned fault. So was the operation later in the week after my back procedure. She thanked me and said that was all they needed to know. Rat bastards. Let me suffer in peace, please.

Thank you. I love sfdebris.
