Thief 6
John does such a good job with that silent middle panel, stretching the moment as the wave of confusion washes over them.
There’s some healthy competition, but I think this struggle to reconcile ontological knowledge with empirical evidence is my favorite land shark moment, and it’s definitely my favorite that doesn’t involve Hammerhead.
This sequence improves on most if not all of Phil’s discarded ideas by forcing Isidro to think on his feet. Any elaborate plan he had to get in would have ultimately been more unwise than the thief’s simple policy of “try not to be seen.” Don’t outsmart yourself, y’know?
AWWWK! Guys, SPEAKING of outsmarting yourself, I screwed up BIG-TIME here by omitting a page in this rebroadcast. Thanks to the commenters who pointed out the confusing result. If you’ve already seen this page, skip back to yesterday’s.
I’m not sure how the Sharks got from ‘guy in the tree’ to ‘talking tree’…
Me neither.
“Object permanence is HAAAARD…”
The tree was talking! The tree told them so!
Why is the word “guy” so funny
Right? It makes me laugh every time.
I believe the chant from the previous page is appropriate, here.
Smart shark! SMART SHAAARK!
It makes me so happy that I’ve seen more of the landsharks in the last few pages than in practically the rest of the story. I also like that they’re conversing, and we get to see more of the variety of their intellects. It sortof builds on the hint we had with the Landshark Shaman in that regard. I’m also liking the “battle of wits” they’re having with Isidro/Tree.
HEY GUYS I just found HAMMERHEAD’S BOSS THEME in my Youtube recommendations. HEY YOUTUBE RECOMMENDATIONS GREAT JOB!
They even spelled his name right! :D
Not in any way what I was expecting, and yet so much better.
Phil also skipped a page during the original run of GA (31-2 to be exact).
I was wondering about that, when they were yelling that he was lying.
Man, that middle panel. I’ve seen cats make ALL of those faces.
