    If it’s not a dream I wonder what Tina will say, this is the first time Jin and Tina met since Mexico.

      Ummm – wasn’t in Mucho Mocha that Jin was rattling Shelly’s cage a while back?

        That was just outside the cafe

        no, there was once at least in the cafe, Jin commented on Tina and how she “must think she’s a psychologist” to goad Shelly into standing up for herself.

        That comment was about Heather. But yea, Jin was in the shop and Tina didn’t say anything. Mostly because it’s Tina 2.0 and she never actually met Jin, or saw her up close before then.

    I love the charcoal style these past several comics have had. It’s gorgeous, and reminds me of stone carvings and cave drawings, in a very good way. I’m sure that’s not an accident 🙂

    I suspect this is more of an internal conversation than a dream – Tina’s really there, but Jin isn’t.

    I don’t know whether this is a dream or what, but Jin looks super cute!!

    It’s GOTTA be a dream. Because Jin is sounding way off there – especially to look like Shelly…

    WAIT a minute. We’re having a flashback, aren’t we? To, like, one cycle prior?

    I can’t find the link to the forum anymore. D;

    Is it gone?

    Love the layout of the last two strips- it’s so different from where you came from. It’s so dynamic, it’s frightening. Is the arc coming to a close? Will it be the end of the series? I hope not!

      The forum link has been gone for a while (we’ve asked for it to be restored at least temporarily, but no response). Bookmark this: http://www.blanklabelcomics.com/community/viewforum.php?f=5

        I’m waiting for Bookworm to let me know it’s been moved so I can link to it again, but since we have the comment system here, I haven’t been too vocal about when it gets done. Bookworm has been very busy lately. I’m no longer a member of Blank Label Comics and it’s not fair for me to use their server space so I haven’t linked to the old forum.

    Not sure if Tina is unique to this cycle…
    Unless her Demons are really murderous I think she is as a demon commitee

    Check out the grim determination on Monica’s face. Either she’s catching on, or her pizza’s come up, as Peter Venkman would say.

    That is a completely new look for Jin; I honestly did not recognize her at all. In a few days, we are going to see whose backroom dealings are best, Jin’s or Brandi’s.

    Awesome new look for Jin. Looks like the new format is allowing not only Pablo but the characters themselves to break into new areas.

    The strip just keeps getting better and better…

    Heh. M does NOT look impressed, or reassured.

    Question: Doesn’t the Calendar Machine reset in 2012? That’s a long way off from the next new moon (although it’s highly probable I’ve missed a story fragment; it’s been a while since I’ve read WS).

      It resets in 2012, but the gang is going to try to fix it on the next new moon.

      • MerchManDan
        November 14, 2009, 2:43 pm | #

        Yes, I gathered that. I meant, don’t they have to fix it WHEN it resets in 2012?

        Apparently not – I think they only need to get the fixed gizmos in place so that, when it cycles in 2012 it will do its proper thing.

        And the fixing can be done at any new moon between now and then, IIRC.

    Looks like M doesn’t like the idea of being a tool..
    Love Jin’s new look btw 😀

      That can’t be Jin. The skin’s too dark….it’s like some kind of Jin-Shelly-Tina hybrid. Or a new character…

    I just saw that Wapsi Square story was mentioned as one of the 7 ways the world could end in 2012 at io9.com.

    Well done.

    My suspicion has always been that there are certain players who do not want the calendar machine to be fixed – perhaps Jin’s mom, who’s been strangely absent from the discussions lately. Perhaps the constant recycling of the calendar is what keeps her/them alive, and they/she broke it because they realized they were about to die and the only way to prevent it was to recycle time itself.

    P.S. Monica has never looked sexier.

    You’re missing an “i” up there in “strictly”, and I want to take this panel to my hairdresser next time & see if I can get Jin’s haircut.
    I’m so addicted to this comic I can’t even explain.

    I want Monica’s chest… Or at least her bra, 😉 the rest I almost got covered. Perfect dress for her.
