Comic for Wednesday, Jan 22, 2025

Hm.  Looks like my idea that Hope's home was an unused store is way wrong. Also, I'm amused that Hope didn't know if she had to do the voice and eyes thing to make her vow.  I wonder if the “not use their home as a trap” thing is a left over from the old laws and traditions, or if it's from the new ones.

The old tales about the Fair Folk do tell of them trapping mortals within their realm, so long ago they apparently did it. I think that they banned such trapping when they adopted the “only empower and guide” rule.

Some more details on immortal magic. 

I'm guessing the questions confessions, and explanations will start on Monday.  Perhaps in another flashback story. 

 

I suspect it will not be a flashback, but Hope talking about being an immortal and that her “reset” wasn't normal. Plus, explaining she has no clue about modern life, other than playing Not-Magic The Gathering, which you have to admit, is a pretty niche knowledge set.

Did DS say someplace that I missed that the next story comic will be delayed, or are you basing that on their history of skipping Friday story strips of late?

Working with the presumption that the explanations would be related as a story, I was guessing one more comic to frame the narrative, then the tale would begin with a new week. 

Just a guess.

And I am never wrong. 

Now I must collect the winnings from the bet I placed on Notre Dame.

This differs from me, who is normally wrong about predictions of EGS stuff.  I still hold that the dragon immortal wasn't Voltaire, and nothing has indicated that he is.  That's about my only more or less correct guess in years.

'You're not wrong' is not the same thing as 'You are correct'. It generally can be stated, 'You're not wrong, rather, you've missed the point, but your stated fact is correct, as far as it goes'.

That's a pretty subtle difference there.  Also depends on the speaker and their choice of idiom.
