Heheh, Agrippa grumbling around while holding his hand. That’s somehow very amusing. Poor Alex, memories are no doubt a bit vicious.

At least Alexis has the presence of mind not to pursue her assault on poor ol’ Agrippa any further. To answer Ian’s comment, I’m guessing the fact that since Agrippa did not respond to violance with violance is what’s put Alex off (or at least gave her the impression that this particular Azxatoth is not an enemy). He isn’t even angry, just slightly peeved. Real cool head, that one.

P.S. @ Marxista: From one socialist to another, comrade, it usually annoys people if you work political commentary into every comment you post. I understand your motivation, but you’ll just end up dissuading people from supporting the left.

I won’t say political commentary again! It made my dad upset when I compare sci fi to political events (since recent movies (Avatar, District 9 and Monsters) have tones in today’s events!) I wiil change my name from Marxista to The Tosh.

I really like the way you have done Alex’s face in the first panel. Fear and confusion all in one!

Hmm seems that Agrippa recognizes that tattoo on her arm. I’m guessing it’s a symbol that the Cabal use to mark their slaves or something. I guess that’s why Agrippa tries to calm her down after he sees it.

@ those political guys up there: if you want to talk politics, go to a political blog. This is a web comic. It is sometimes used for entertainment. And thus far, all I’ve seen of politics in this very Sci-Fi web comic is Bastardism shown by that one dude a few strips back…you know, the guy that shot the other guy for no apparent reason other than to be a bastard? (Haha! Not picking on the story there, I know it’s fixed…just making a point). Socialist or left wing hypocrat, I and probably the rest of the readers, could give a crap. We’re here to be entertained by a web comic, not political arguments.

Great strip, by the way! And holy bolognia! I didn’t know there was a new prologue! *rushes off to read*

Double negatives are perfectly acceptable in today’s society…Unless you’re British, I think (no offense intended). In your case, the not after can’t would be an adverb enhancing the can’t or “cannot”. Double negs are really a case sensitive subject. A double negative really just cancels itself out…kind of like in math when you multiply a negative by a negative.

I also think he didn’t go off the handle because apparently he noticed that mark on her arm. Ya know… the one the looks suspiciously like the Azatoth tribal marking? I mean I might be captain obvious here, but it is probably a slave tattoo and he noticed it, and that would explain the change is his demeanor towards her.

ouch that scalpal has got to hurt. but yeah i think Alex might have PTSD.
