In a blink and you missed it moment waaay back on page 5.27 it was pretty clear that Joe harbours a massive crush on Lin-Lin (the sixth year cadet aka Hidden Dragon) and throughout the sequence starting on page 5.09 it’s clear Louis has a fairly dim view of Joe’s abilities. This is what I call tying up loose ends!

When you have a crush, it’s awfully evident when you don’t have any pants on…
I dunno, that could be one of the hidden benefits of being made of gas.
Sprouting little hearts all over the place…? 🙂
heh – I can never resist a visual gag… watched too many Looney Tunes as a kid I think!
I missed the hearts on my first read-through- so, does Joe’s gas-form always react to his emotional state? if Hidden Dragon shoots him down, will a little raincloud appear over his head? 🙂
Anything’s possible I suppose! There’s a lot to Magellan that is planned out well in advance… some other things, like the love hearts, are a bit more random and spur of the moment (usually because it’s an amusing idea I have at the time of drawing the page)… so does that now give Joe another, potentially useful, dimension to his powers? Time will tell.
yup, he has it bad
so he’s a little wound up, tends to happen after a traumatic situation. so he’s a little tongue tied with an attractive member of the opposite sex, tends to happen when you have a crush on that person. hopefully lin lin will see past that and at least make him feel a little more comfortable, but she is a super, and not a councilor, so we’ll see.
Again, I’m pleased to see that these people are showing our good fellow some genuine grateful measures. Call it a bit of personal relevance in getting to see the muck-up no one had any confidence in see his day.
