…Matter 49
Update schedule: This is the Sunday update, there was a new page loaded Wednesday so please click “previous” to read.
Never turn your back on Go!Anna (or a goanna, for that matter): Well, that escalated quickly!
Next update: Sunday August 4, 2019: Sorry, only one update per week for this week and next… have a couple of bonkers weeks at work coming up and I know that cartooning opportunities will be at a minimum. The good news is that after that I will be on vacation for a few weeks, and while I will be away for a part of that time the rest of it will be mostly going into Magellan and getting the current story finished which will be in September on (or about) page 60 . Stay tuned for details!
b is for BOF!
BDONG!
It’s right there in great big, orange letters.
They both are.
B is for brain injury aka concussion. It would have taken him quite some time to get to Concussion, but Go!Anna is helpfully providing it to him anyway.
Anything else that begins with B???
Bludgeoning.
Winner.
Bang! Bash! Bonk! Blam! Broken! Battered! Beaten!
He already did “broken,” though.
Brunton’s been a bad boy. Bedtime, Brunton.
Beautiful bit of buzz!
Thank you. Though I wish I could have gone on like I have been able to do for another time where I used B words in conjunction with a comic story, to summarize Batman: Knightfall (Bane breaks Batman’s back, badass becomes Batman, badass Batman beats Bane, badass becomes bad, Bruce’s back bounces back, Bruce becomes Batman bis, Bruce Batman beats bad Batman). Because of course I wanted to do that, all off of realizing its impetus of “Bane breaks Batman’s back” is alliterative and seeing how far that can go. I could have probably gone further, but I actually haven’t read the story, so I don’t know everything I left out.
Ha! Urban Dictionary actually has an entry for BDONG😅
I know Annie is sturdier than she looks (witness her fight with the Red Path Ninja). I thought that Brunton should have heard her getting out of the body bag binding, but perhaps it was just his teke that kept it tight, so when he thought she was down for good he stopped concentrating on it and it loosened up to make a silent escape possible?
That was my thought. It’s either that of Go!Anna has superhuman flexibility.
Well, certainly one reason Luke likes her.
Eh, I also thought that Go!Anna should have dodged immediately when she heard a rustling from behind her while fighting a telepath, instead of looking behind her surprised. Neither of them are bringing their tactical A game.
Brunton is at least employing his power to some effect. Annie is the top of her class and is making some mistakes that I wouldn’t associate with someone as smart and well-trained as she is. Rookie jitters?🤷♂️
Kaycee’s class seems to be getting more live experience than is typical.
Go!Anna probably didn’t have that, and even with that none of them have had to fight alone.
Yeah Kaycee’s class does seem to be unusual in that regard.
I don’t recall seeing solo training depicted, but solo operatives are a thing, and you be prepared to work alone when no backup is available, so I’d be surprised if there isn’t some training for that eventuality in the Magellan coursework
I am not normally a violent person… but I really wish that in this case, ‘B’ were for ‘brain hemorrhage’. =_=
Anyone else use the song Staying Alive in their head for his tune
B is for Blunt Force Trauma.
Big Bozo becomes blithe by being busy burying bound, begagged bobby-soxer. Bruised buttinski bravely belays bindee’s burial by beaning Bozo, bashing (but not braining) bum.
