Annotated 16-8
I am unironically fond of the perfectly circular eyes of shock that most of the kids have throughout this page. John knows when to deploy cartooniness and when to rein it in.
Getting a faint “Mal from Firefly” vibe off the line, “Guess I’ll have to hunt them down as such.”
Come on, Byron, “No!” is just the kind of answer a crafty kid calculator like Taro would give. Better kill them all, just to be safe!
Byron, if you’re trying to lighten the mood…. “taking a bunch of kidnapped traumatized kids who were kidnapped and almost ritually sacrificed, then had to watch the splattergorefest of about a dozen people bloodily eviscerated in front of their eyes, and having the guy who eviscerated them, still drenched in that blood, come up to them and ask them if they should be next on his list” probably isn’t best practices.
What does he mean, “chop first, ask questions later”? He literally opened by asking the cultists if this was a good time!
Ah, but it’s “questionS” later. He only asked the one!
I love that Byron’s question is actually a rational one.
I hate that I cannot unsee the two Mortys in the front.
I know they aren’t Mortys, but I can’t unsee em!
“I’m not the secret evil mastermind of this whole thing, and neither is my wife!”
“Uhhh, we’re like seven years old.”
“See? I don’t even have a wife!”
“Yes! I mean, No!”
