Gonna push this comic back to Wednesday to make up for Friday’s being late. Be sure to go back – don’t miss it!
In the meantime you get this Father’s Day fluff. Because it’s been too long since we’ve seen Pops and Gramps, hasn’t it?
And now for some blatant lies from Skärva-mii. Are he and Blank in some kind of passive-aggressive showdown this time?
Oh, and here’s someone who was left out of the previous picture…
Am I the only one who thinks the IInd doesn’t look like a villian… At all? He looks like a tinker in a Disney movie. What kind of villainy could that sweet old man get up to?
Then again, he is the son of the Ist, so… Apples, trees, all that.
Well, you’re right. He was more of a scholar than an overlord. Both the Third and the Fourth have had their different ways of embracing the curse or their family’s past, but the Second broke his mind trying to find a way out.
The Second is his father’s son though, yes, and his lifetime suppression of a crueler streak leads to a rare outburst of rage, as seen when Derk got his hands all over one of his “friends”.
The family dynamics are one of my favorite things about our story… we’ll get to explore it all in more depth someday! :3
Speaking of… Will we ever meet the ghost of the Ist? We’ve seen the IIIrd, who we can only tell is a ghost when he flies away, the IInd, who’s only mildly translucent (the dementia is probably more a work hazard than anything else)… So is the Ist in some dungeon somewhere, being all evil, scary, and by now probably so crazy the IInd would tell him that he’s a lunatic?
Oh, you’ll see! You’ll see! …Someday. Heheheh
And I am looking forward to that day…
For the record though, ghosts don’t lose their mind as time passes; it’s just their form that fades away until coming to rest at sort of a baseline (like Ecta and most of the other ghosts at the castle). The Second had gone crazy by the time he died. Not that II wouldn’t have some unkind things to say to his father, anyway…
So, what’s all their mums look like? :3
