    What did somebody say about Jin’s “missing part” being in there?

      If that is Jin’s missing part, maybe Bud needs to perform another bit of solar injection waste disposal. They need to make Jin better, not worse.

        Wait.. The apparition does not look angry, or feral or something, but more in a total panic.

        Hmm..now that’s interesting.

        If that’s JIn (and it could be both Jin and a banshee), what’s also very interesting is her pupils are round.

      Zat vas Me! It could also be a Banshee. Banshees (as legends go) made men go mad… It would explain the sub crew killing eachother.

      Ohh..and excuse me while I go in search of a fresh pair of bloomers…. *does “a Katherine Gilchrist”*

    Foreground, creepy demon thing, I agree with Toraush Naull – peed myself a little. Background though, amazing and mind-boggling… is it ocean… is it clouds… I dunno! Kinda gets the feeling of evil gettin’ blasted out of a volcano though. sweet.

        Now that I look at the background of that last panel, it seems like it’s a pictures of the ground from high altitude. I looks like nimbus clouds over a low level cloud layer. The lower right section looks like a hole in the cloud cover looking down on some terrain with water. Possibly a river system or some small lakes.

        Good point. Soo. I guess Monica will -as I already surmised- end-up on her butt, eyes bulging in fear&shock, cursing away, but not “worse for wear”, or whatever that colloquialism is..

        Not really – the encroaching Catholic church made a great ‘crusade’ (sort of) out of ‘purifying’ the Irish lands of pagan beliefs. The celebration of any Catholic holy day would be – frowned upon – by goulies, ghosties, and long-leggedy beasties of Pagan descent.

      • Jay-Em
        April 20, 2011, 8:41 am | #

        Exactly.. And here i was thinking that Shelly and Bud were the impulsive ones..

        Today’s comic will have a couple of possible outcomes:
        1) Monica ends up on her butt, completely shocked and baffled. Bud angry that M couldn’t hold her impulses to “touch” despite her warnings.
        2) Scary woman takes over Monica, M’s demons and scary woman tussle, and crazieness ensues.
        3)Bud powerfully shoves Monica away..gets infected by scary woman through touching M.. world as we know it ends….for good…
        4) Bud touches Monica ,scary woman does something to Bud, a tearfull “BUUUUD NOOOOOH!! from Monica, Bud reverts to being an inert clay golem, rest of comic is questing for a way to fix Jin and Bud….

        I have to admit that 3) is less likely, since it would also mean the end of the comic…And me doth think that Paul still has too much fun drawing it..

    Paul keeps taking the time to draw the McGuffin with prongs on the bottom. One possible reason is that it was pulled out of something. Ergo, the story arc may be a search for that something so that it can be plugged back in.

    And then what? Ahhh! Paul only knows! (But I bet it’s gonna be good!)

    Hmm..suddenly thought of something.
    The “thing’ has these prongs sticking-out. Sooo..it seems logical to assume it fits into something.

    What if..just bear with me, what if the scary woman we (and M) see is indeed part of Jin’s personality. Let’s say, for the sake of the argument, it’s her “common-sense”, but in this case gone completely bonkers through being locked-up for centuries. It would explain the panicked-crazy look of the apparition…

    The “missing” part of the “Thing’ is the part that is needed to get this Jin-part out of the “thing” safely, to connect again with the Jin we know.
    This “missing part” has been gone for centuries, maybe even on purpose.

    Maybe Jin is much more powerful without the “common-sense” -bit, and someone, or something needed Jin -maybe even only temporarily- unleashed and devoid of “common-sense” so he (She?? Mayahuel??) incarcerated that part of Jin in the “Thing”. Stuff went belly-up (A whole civilization glassed-over would be the mother of all “belly-ups”), and the person or entity that had the Jin-part locked-up, could not revert the situation as planned.

    Yes, I know ,it’s waaay speculative, but it seems logic somehow.

    Buuut..if this isn’t a Jin-part..all bets are off, and hell is about to break loose in a major way..

      I’ve been thinking about this for quite a while now while working(hopefully the boss doesn’t see). It makes a lot of sense that this would be a part of her, they are looking for something to make her complete. Personaly I really don’t want to see where they stick this object to complete her. Those prongs at the bottom look like they would hurt.

        Hmm..good addition to my -rather convoluted, i admit- speculations

        Just remember that sticking a rather sharp ice-pick in Monica’s head fixed the calendar-machine problem.

        I guess Paul wouldn’t be too perturbed by drawing Monica sticking something in Jin’s head, f.i. mebbe Jin even has recepticles in her head or something (given the fact that sticking anything in an indestructable golem would pose a teensy-weensy bit of a problem)

      I’ve been pondering why they have to go through 56+ rounds of fixing the calendar machine–and wondered if they haven’t been missing some key gismo or thingamabob. And what if this is it?

        According to Jin and her mom, as long as the calander machine was working Jin didn’t have these problems. Something about being stuck in this time loop kept her “some-what” mentaly sane. Now that the machine is destroyed she “went back to the way she was.”

        The Calendar Machine arc is complicated. First, yes, it was causing time to loop around on a 1450-year cycle. On the other hand, just breaking or resetting the machine wouldn’t fix the problems; they needed to rescue Mayahuel from the Demon Realm, stuff the renegade demons back into the Demon Realm, and at the same time turn off the Calendar Machine. This led to a preposterously complex plan that failed a few dozen times for various reasons (mostly unexplored). So, yes, just fixing the Calendar Machine would have been fairly easy. For that matter, the whole combination wouldn’t have been so hard except that they needed Monica’s help and at the same time the total ignorance of the demons who were riding in Monica’s mind. By the rules of drama, the iteration we saw was the one where it finally worked.

        Is it possible that this thing interfaced with the calender machine? And Jin never knew?

      What is needed to interface Jin with the artifact must be a Monster cable….

      That was my first thought. Lock anything in an artefact for a gadzillion years and it will be batpoo crazy unless they go comatose.

    HO-ly crud! I hope Bud’s got sense enough to jerk the relic away from Monica before it damages her permanently. If it hasn’t already.

    “It’s not like it’s magic.” I agree with others, that one of the stupidest things Monica has said. Everything Bud had told her, the relic’s appearance and possible origin, all of those should have SCREAMED ‘magic’ to Monica.

    Crispy and the Banshee should get together and see who can scare the other the worst.

    There’s a nice Dutch proverb that covers poor Monica very well at this moment:

    “Schrik op schrik, houdt een mens gezond” transl.: Scare upon scare, keeps a person healthy

    First Bud blows-up her favourite sand-bank, then Bud gets all riled-up if she tries to examine a strange artifact, and now she gets a apparition thrown in her face… Wat a day.. 😆

    The more I think of it, the prongs on the relic hoozit and having to fit it into something else reminds me of Excaliber. The origin-myth of said sword?? Only it wasn’t Arthur (Artur, Arto or Artos) who pulled it apart.

    AND I keep thinking, too, that the last panel would make one KILLER screen saver!! You seriously ROCK, Pablo!!!

    Waitaminnit! Why is everyone so worried? Monica is a glyph reader and has had years of experience sucessfully dealing with her own demons.

    Remember her telling the GGGs,”If I don’t do EXACTLY what they (her demons) tell me to, they become totally…harmless.”?

    Who better to handle whatever that figure associated with the artifact really is?

      unless it is not a “demon” and is instead “an omen of death and a messenger from the Otherworld.”

      ( thats banshee folks )

      It could be the being inside is so eager to get out in order to use the toilet.

      OTOH, that vision may cause one to do bathroom duty on the spot. Or is that what you meant?

    What have we learned about touching strange mystical objects that you are not supposed to touch, Monica? First the little statue of the Aztec God, then the Golems, now the key thing? >.>

    If you weren’t inadvertently saving the world, you would totally deserve a time out, missy!

    From Wikipedia:

    The Banshee ( /ˈbænʃiː/ ban-shee), from the Irish bean sí [bʲæn ˈʃiː] (“woman of the síde” or “woman of the fairy mounds”) is a feminine spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the Otherworld.

    Okay, so omen fulfilled. Damn! Time-lines and time-travel give me brain cramps. If Shelly hadn’t met this sphinx yet, she hasn’t hidden the object yet… but if she hasn’t hidden it yet, it couldn’t have killed her. Ouch, ouch, ouch…

    I just noticed but the irises of the creature in the vision were a 5-pointed star on the right eye and a crescent moon in the left eye. That’s a cool detail.

    Wait, is that the girl who snuck up on Jin in the snow?
    Also, it looks like the artifact is meant to plug into something.

    That looks a bit like the girl that was created by Shelly’s demons merging.
