Annotated 14-21
Hey, when you need a minor casualty to keep your story moving, not one of your main characters, should it be someone who’s been introduced by name earlier in the story or just some rando with a sword? Asking for a friend. It kind of looks like Kepfer is the one who’s getting it here– that sword looks a little like the one he was waving and I can’t spot him elsewhere on the page– but that theory will be firmly disproven in a few pages.
NO DISASSEMBLE
Around this point, we started teasing our first wave of merchandise (or second if the T-shirt was first): three posters, six buttons. Frigg had a starring role in two posters and one button, which probably told you that she would be surviving this little misadventure, in case you were concerned.
Can’t be Kepfer…he’s on the other side of Pyre on the previous page.
Speaking of last page, it’s the only one that uses the ‘characters’ tag field, and the ‘tags’ field only has Frigg and Rachel in it, so confirming I was remembering which one was Kepfer properly was difficult.
It was probably Kenny. Sadly he wasn’t even there for a fight he was just with his friends who mistook these gnomes for the ones that specify in underpants collection.
Omigod, they killed Kenny! Those bastards!
Another fine mesh you’ve gotten me into…
Insurance agent”
“I am sorry Ms. Frigg, your health insurance does not cover injuries due to an active cog.”
Love how the houses to the right of the machine seem to appear horrified by what Taro just did.
Ha, I see that now!
As well they should. He’s probably going to wreak havoc all the way down the street.
Nice catch, although I think they seem more horrified about being in the way of his driving.
It’s really hard to tell if it was him or not. Hewie and Pyre’s positions switched from when they were charging in, but the second panel of the last page showed Kepfer off to the right of this panel, where he’s off the page.
NO DISASSEMBLE, STEPHANIE!
Even worse than the picture that grinds Peter’s gears is Telltale’s logo: three gears linked together such that they’d lock each other up and be completely unable to turn.
I see the “three interlocked gears” design a lot in, like, efficiency seminars and such. I always want to tell them that they’re symbolizing the opposite of what they’re talking about.

The first guy in a red shirt, obviously.
To be fair, TOS usually gave their redshirts names.
