Sounds like a good emergency spell, but a problem if you put too much juice to it.

11 hours ago, The Old Hack said:Sure, Tedd is so terrified and so hurt by the way their father has treated them that they are all but crying brokenly in the middle of a critical job interview, but let's by all means talk about how Edward's transphobia isn't so bad and center the conversation some more on him.
Tedd is in considerable emotional and mental pain. The source of said pain is Edward's transphobia. From Arthur's perspective, Edward is a reasonable and very accepting individual. To him, if Edward is causing pain to his son, then it is likely due to a misunderstanding. So clearing up the misunderstanding should get Edward to stop acting in a hurtful manner, at least in Arthur's opinion. It won't make the pain magically go away, but it should prevent the pain from getting worse without completely breaking whatever love Tedd still has for his father.
Is that the best course of action? I don't know. At that moment it probably isn't, but in the long term, removing the cause of the hurt is generally better, when feasible, than just soothing the symptoms.

The head of a secret agency dors need to be able to read people. Not only to tell if they are trust worthy, but to tell if thet have any vulnerabilities that could be leveraged for or against the agency

Arthur does strike me as a "ends justify the means" sort of person.

The Collapse roughly coincided with invasions of the various Mediterranean countries by the "Sea Peoples," a somewhat mysterious group of seafaring nomads whose origin is unknown to modern scholars. It's a bit odd that they were able to overcome armies equipped with (presumably) superior bronze weapons. Uryuom magic might explain it. The Sea Peoples cannot have been all Uryuom because surely even those few scraps of documentation that have come down to us would have mentioned that the invaders weren't human, but a sprinkling of magical warriors might easily have turned the tide.
The Collapse also coincided with wide spread crop failure due to over-farming and infrastructure issues from the economic strain of the crop failures

So Edward was trained to take manual control of his spells. Since they had the same teacher, Noriko would have been trained the same. She might be the other deputy with Agent Wolf, with this fact as foreshadowing, but it could also just be demonstrating that manual control is a part of any thorough and quality training.
If the Uryuoms have been around since at least the bronze age collapse, then why hasn't someone in an official position questioned them being from space before? I don't think Uryuom tech is that much more advanced than human tech. Maybe everyone just assumed their tech had plateaued?

Taking good notes is hard. Also Tedd was going through an emotional rollercoaster when she found out she was a seer.

But seriously, who documents their code???
Someone who wants their code to be read and understood by someone later, including themselves after a few months. Sadly, not all programmers have the foresight to do that...

Based on Dan's commentary, the 'scrub trash' part will be on the next page. Though I'm not sure if it'll be a serious issue in Tedd's method or just a humorous annoyance that Dr Germahn ran into.
-
Depending on what year of high school she is, I could see her in a sort of intern program. Though I doubt it's Jay. Basically for the nepotism reasons mentioned before
-
Noriko would be an interesting possibility, though last we heard, she was probably in Europe. So her turning up in Colorado is unlikely.
-
I wonder if it's possible to define the parameters for the spells put into new wands, now that spell parameters are manual. If not, the new wands are going to require not insignificant training anyway.
-
It's two people that rarely agree on something and have formal magic training. They could be new characters, but Dan's commentary implies that they're characters we've seen before.
I think the scrub trash comment is Agent Wolf paraphrasing, but if it isn't, then that might help with narrowing down who it could be.

4 hours ago, mlooney said:Good point. The did have the Enterprise "land" in at least one of the movies.
I've heard that any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
-
Since Ashley is a wizard, her being a tiny fairy is possible. She just needs to learn Nanase's spell. Though she also would need to train up first, as she doesn't have enough magical power to cast that spell yet.
-
Hugs for all that want hugs!
-
I think every time Dan has drawn Grace's full squirrel form, he's done it differently. Then again, master shapeshifters don't need to be 100% consistent.
-
This is going to be interesting. I wonder if Tedd made enough cake.

9 hours ago, hkmaly said:Is "saving my bacon" really common phrase? Sounds more like self-censure around the word "ass" ...
There's a common consensus that bacon is delicious and awesome, so saving bacon is generally appreciated.
More seriously, it's likely what ChronosCat mentioned: the self-censure phrase becoming so widely used that it just becomes a common phrase without the self-censure intent. The enjoyment of bacon likely helped that particular phrase spread though.

Part of me wonders if Edward was looking for a good excuse to spend the weekend with Lavender when Tedd and Eliot just happened to come up with the party idea.
-
All that worry and anxiety for nothing. Though at least Rhoda doesn't have to worry about hiding her relationship with Catalina any more.
4 hours ago, detrius said:The way Rhoda says "Catalina is my girlfriend" puzzles me. Do Lucy and Diane already know her?
From passing mentions in the comic, it appears Diane knows of Catalina, even if she hasn't personally met her. Rhoda likely has talked about her. If nothing else, how Cat saved her from that boar.
-
Diane's subconscious realized the direction her life was heading and poked her to make it, even though her conscious mind was in denial about it all. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that she's going to get the epiphany about why Lucy is upset, at least at this moment. Maybe later, but hopefully sooner than that.
-
1 hour ago, Scotty said:It's possible that everyone (even Diane, the person Rhoda most wanted to not find out about her liking girls)figured it out on their own because both Catalina and Rhoda were bad at hiding their relationship.
They're bad at hiding their relationship, but surprisingly good at hiding their magic.

I just had a thought. If the spell just makes Edward completely limp, could he still be conscious (and hearing the whole conversation) and is simply so limp that he can't even speak?
