Annotated 4-6
Phil made a good edit to the end of this. My version of Byron’s last line here was a bit longer, going on about how von Carnaj had participated in the dishonor of Byron’s profession. Which… I mean, yeah, that’s a thing for Byron, but claiming a pirate’s actions stain adventuring in any way is pretty tenuous. If a cop is on the take and you care about the perception of the police department, you blame the cop, not the mobsters who had the audacity to think he could be bribed. “You mafioso are a disgrace to the traditional antagonism between cops and mobsters!”
Trying not to turn these comments into too much of “I like this and that,” but, well… I like the irony that Byron briefly thinks Best is acting like part of the team. Syr’Nj, the scales having fallen from her eyes, is a bit rueful as she corrects him.
THE EXPEDITER, coming to ABC-TV this fall.
Leeroy Jenkins approves.
Eh, this ain’t Best’s first rodeo, he knows what he’s doing. The rest of ’em should just try and keep up. :3
And if he doesn’t know what he’s doing, I’m OK with that, too.
Personally, I really enjoy your ‘I like this, and that’. It’s fun to see the perspective of some one who has had intimate involvement with the series. I’ve really enjoyed the comic as a whole and read through it a couple times but you still manage to point out things I had missed, or even showed me an interpretation of events I hadn’t noticed. Keep it up!
This may be a dumb set of questions, but what is a ship’s topsoil? Is that a typo or part of a ship I just don’t recognize? And if it’s part of a ship, where is it located?
Syr’nj is still in “ruggedly stuck in tree analogies” mode. She means belowdecks.
I actually kind of love this about Sapling Syr’nj.
Aaahhh. It’s all so clear now.
Oh, dear Lord, Don Carnage. :) I’m a little ashamed I didn’t catch that reference the first time around.
