        Now that you mention it.

        January 5, 2010, 9:43 am | #

        That’s ironic. The girl with the rug superimposed (tattoo’d) to her stabs the girl with the rug superimposed (artistically drawn for emphasis) in the ol’ grey matter.
        Now, if as a result of this Monica loses all her hair and has to wear a rug… too much?

      Yes, I would think that having your best friend jam a shiv into your brain would indeed foul ones mood. This is definitely going to put a crimp in that whole friendship thing.

    Oh ya, just stab her in the arm you say, it does not have to be fatal you say, well being stabbed through the top of your skull is going to be as fatal as fatal gets. I just hope Shelly was right about it not hurting.

      actually, best chance of surviving a head trauma is if it’s right down the middle. splits between the two hemispheres. kinda messes up the communication between the right and left of the brain, but survivable still.

    Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
    They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
    Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
    Possessing and caressing me.
    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing’s gonna change my world,
    Nothing’s gonna change my world.

    Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
    That call me on and on across the universe,
    Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
    Tumble blindly as they make their way
    Across the universe
    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing’s gonna change my world,
    Nothing’s gonna change my world.

    Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
    Through my open views inviting and inciting me
    Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
    million suns, it calls me on and on
    Across the universe
    Jai guru deva om
    Nothing’s gonna change my world,
    Nothing’s gonna change my world.

    I once worked with a woman whose brother had a length of rebar dropped through the top of his head at a construction site. Came out under his chin. He was fine, only lasting effect was a slightly slurred speech.

    …and I’m gonna keep telling myself that until this arc is over…

    I dunno what’s worse: that these days I dislike Monica enough I like seeing her stabbed in the head, or that someone really will let the demons out of someone with a hole in the head.

      Actually, they used to – and it worked sometimes and they still do … but now we know why it works (when it does).

      It’s called “trepanation”:

      Modern medicine

      Trepanation is a treatment used for epidural and subdural hematomas, and for surgical access for certain other neurosurgical procedures, such as intracranial pressure monitoring. Modern surgeons generally use the term craniotomy for this procedure. The removed piece of skull is typically replaced as soon as possible. If the bone is not replaced, then the procedure is considered a craniectomy.

      (from Wikipedia)

        Thank you! I was trying to remember that word this morning but kept coming up with trepidation. Granted, they are close, I was more disappointed that I didn’t have my Transmetropolitan graphic novels to look it up.

    You know what would really mess things up? If after all is said and done, and the survivors leave the temple, they’re wondering if this actually worked or not, and Bud says something like “We’ll know for sure after 2012”!

    No – it’s opening a white hole inside a black hole (a la “Timecrash”)

    Ref: A shiv in the skull, — this is only Tuesday — must be one heck of a cliffhanger we’re gearing up for!

    Pablo says we’re going to get some kind of resolution tomorrow – about seven hours from Right Now as i type.

    So … the demon didn’t know Shelly could, and would, kill Monica? I don’t get it. Why was she making that boastful statement with Shelly right there? But then, villians always seem to talk too much at crutial times, allowing the good guys to get the upper hand.

    In my mind I see this whole thing taking place in a really noisy environment with the characters shouting to be heard. Even then they can just barely hear each other.

      Shelly’s thoughts are silent to other demons, thanks to the annexation of the little demon girl. =) And yes, it is noisy and whirl-windy where they are.

      Also, Bud and Brandi do not have demons and are also silent to them, only Jin has demons because of special circumstances.

    Thank you for your response … but … the demon emerged delivering a vicious punch to Shelly as she was about to perforate Monica. Therefore she must have known of Shelly’s intention. I can only assume she thought Shelly was still out of it from the punch. Sorry to be a pest, but I just abhor plot holes.

    I would also like to say how amazing these last panels have been. So very expressive. Almost like watching a movie.

      No worries! ^_^ The demon was watching like a spectator through Monica, so it was like she was in the room with them. It’s all the stuff done away from Monica that she’s not always privy to. Unless she’s in the same room with Shelly, Bud or Brandi, she doesn’t know what they’re doing. =)

    What the?!?! Ok, I said I’m giving up guessing and now it’s just waiting for tomorrow.

    Ok, I lied. I wonder if that mirror ball has been brought into play. Is Jin’s Doubt getting tricked? You know what they say about tricks. They’re all done with mirrors 🙂

    Nah, probably not. None of my other guesses have been right. But it’s still fun trying.

    Late on this post, but I had a thought. If ‘fake-killing’ Monica has caused this demon door to swing open like a Ghostbuster Trap, sucking in all the demons and the Calendar Machine, how will this affect Monica’s ‘link’ to the GGG?

    According to Tepoz and Jin, Monica is able to control the GGG (albeit not well, since the GGG appear to like stabbing her, placing her in front of a firing squad, and public pimp-smacking) due to the fact that her ‘heart stopped’ when she almost died in Mexico.

    If I’m not mistaken, this is also part of the reason why her demons affect her so different than everyone else. If this second ‘almost death’ is reversing the Demon Door, will it also reverse her control of the GGG?

    And a funnier thought: If it does reverse/negate her control of the GGG, do they become Tepoz’s responsibility again?

      She was TAUGHT to be a glyph reader, THAT is what gives her power to control the chimera, I thought.

      Also, One word that will make many people perhaps groan.

      Keyblade

      And I say that now and leave for I am childish and cannot put away my childish things… yet. In short, you may groan because I have not
