I can’t see how size has anythinging to do with getting the drop on someone. On their ability to damage with a scalpel, certainly, but as we have seen Alexis barely scratced him.

… And so the merry misfit mob takes form. Onto new adventures!

Third panel is hilarious, I love Agrippa’s expression – little bit of embarrassment, anyone?

I’m not so sure about the merry misfit mob thing, but I agree with this being the start of some new and exciting adventure 😀

Now that I’m all caught up and all I can comment; I found this comment today and I really enjoy it, your character interplay and the depth that some lack is altogether impressive and realistic. The amount of time that has clearly been put into character and plot development is obvious and impressive, thank you both for this comic, and I will certainly be a continuing reader.

I think that the ballon ar quite right.
If you modify the ballon on third panel, probably it would cover a much larger parte of the panel itself and it wouldn’t be good ’cause it’s the best panel of the page
I love the expressions
Keep going the good job

I didn’t have any trouble following the order of the speech bubbles, but even if I had, it would hardly have mattered, as the second and third panels can be read in either order and still make sense. Though I guess if you try to follow the speech bubbles in a snaking pattern, that wouldn’t work very well.
