...It's Gren, of course. Gren is ALWAYS having the worst day, because she keeps having to work with all of these lunatics.
Also I think she might have a cold on top of that
I think that might be a reaction to Mal's door opening, since she can smell magic.
You think she's mallergic?
I have just noticed that the door started to appear in panel 4.
Good catch!
Heh ^^ I was coming in the comments to say that myself. Gren's day review 0/10: Too much magic, too many words, not enough snacks.
No chance to bite anybody.
Yet.
On the other hand, she got to roll around in a mud puddle, so that's one point.
Eliza and Sid both facepalming in panel 3. 😂
And you're right, Eliza, no one here right now is Harry Barber, but if you give it just a minute that may change...
Splendid form on the facepalm x2 combo. 10 out of 10.
"...what the bloody hell are all these blokes doing in my anchor?"
Well done Eliza, you found the witch!
And to think her day started with just wanting more clues about the Witch ^_^
She is having objectively the best day, but she doesn't know it yet.
Blimey, panel 3 went full Reservoir Dogs.
Eliza is about to have the BEST day, since she gets to meet the witch. And I love how the sudden increase in magic made Gren sneeze.
Eliza: "You're the witch!?"
Mal: "Yeah, what's it to yeh?"
Eliza: "Then that means...you're Harry Barber!"
Just another Tuesday in Widdershins.
So far? I would say Sid, but this page might be the turning point for Gren.
I don't know who looks more impressive in panel 3, Ben or Gren. :)
Nobody suggested that she's really Harry Barber and she's kinda miffed about it.
This is ABSOLUTELY A M A Z I N G.
It’s Sid. It’s always Sid.
But that won’t last for long...
Given Harry's imminent return, Harry's soon to follow confession of love, and Sid's parents apparent understanding of the fact that he is not graduating I think Sid's day is in for some pretty spectacular improvement.
Can just see this getting even sillier when Mal weaponises the invisible purple hippo of happiness after Pryce points the gun at the newly revealed witch.
"Hello, room service? I'd like to order a larger room."
"I did have a speech ready..." Poor Ben. His plans never quite follow through
EDIT: Underated line of page: "It's the blonde one isn't it?"
Ben and Wolfe: The Blonde Not Barbers of Widdershins
"They're both blonde, come on!"
The Real Harry shows. No one believes her because she's not blonde.
This is why he normally only has the first half of a plan. No one ever gives him time to pull of the second half before they start getting all crazy and dramatic.
Pryce will end up having the worst day. At least, I hope so.
"...am I interrupting something ?"
Gren is 900% done with this day.
The shenanigan-to-treat ratio is entirely unsatisfactory.
Would the real Harry Barber please stand up- oh wait, they're all standing.
Typical.
They're standing up while claiming NOT to be Harry Barber. SMH can't any of them follow simple instructions :P
All we need now is for Henry to turn up. "Mr Barber? That would be me!"
Well, O'Malley's day is actually looking up, what with him accepting being a witch and all. Maybe he didn't want to, but he's seemed a lot better after it came to that.
Also Harry isn't out yet but she has a gun and oh boy she's gonna happily point it at all those people asking for Mr. Harry Barber and ask them why they're looking for her grandfather and also they got his name wrong. I don't know if that's a good day but I feel like her day is also on the upswing, what with the not being trapped on an island facing her own monster.
Harry left the gun on the island...
"I'm Barbercus!"
"No, I'm Barbercus!"
....
Weren't you French a moment ago?
These Europeans. Can't keep 'em apart!
"...who the hell are you?!"
Eliza must have an interesting aura. Strong, assertive, spiking in opposite colors.
Also, the line of tags is about to go on three lines.
Harry is totally going to come out of the door.
Harry enters, arms akimbo
"I'm Harry Barber."
"You can't be Harry Barber. You're a woman! Whoever heard of a bird being call Harry?" Everyone else starts sweating uncomfortably as Harry gets angrier
I don't know who's objectively having the worst day, but I think panel three is objectively one of the greatest panels in the entire comic so far :D
Wait a minute: Mal's door is opening in a different place from [where he entered it before.](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/june-26th-2020 "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/june-26th-2020") That might mean Mal has the ability to go directly from the Witch Space to anywhere in Widdershins.
I thought that glass egg behind Eliza marked the center of the anchor. It is what Wolfe is gazing at two comics ago and where Mal's door was when he most recently entered it: [https://www.widdershinscomi...](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/june-26th-2020 "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/june-26th-2020")
Am I misreading? The lack of background in the last panel makes it difficult to judge exactly where the door is. If Mal can move the door, I would think it needs to be within a certain range of the anchor, which might not include the whole city
The door is visible behind Eliza in panel four, and it's what everybody is staring at in panel five.
Maybe, I thought it looks different from where he entered but it's hard to tell.
Nope, it's been pretty consistent that it's in front of that small dome in the floor. I think the area looks different because it's in color here, but in Mal-vision (AKA gray-and-white) in that previous comic.
Close tie between Sid and Pemberton, I'd say.
Sid
I like to think that the man in the second panel is pointing at Gren when he says, "No, he's's Mr. Barber." And Gren is of course spectacularly put out.
That's Mrs. Malik, and she's definitely not pointing at Gren. She could be pointing at the thug, I guess.
Definitely hearing Inspector Clouseau's Theme from the Pink Panther movie.

Oh, t'an kew!! Hi had forgotten dis vun!! Iz Purrfect, hyu know??!
Even has the comedy oom-pahs at the beginning.
Iz such a gud fit, yez!
Hyu vouldn't be a Jaeger, vould hyu?
How cud zat be? Hy does not haf a hat!
(Vell, hokay, I did hav a hat. Then it got burned and de fire vent efferyvere and zere vos der running and der screaming and ze alarms goink off. It vos a gud hat. [Sniffs] )
Wait. Wait wait wait. How much time has passed between: [https://www.widdershinscomi...](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/july-24th-2020 "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/july-24th-2020") - when Harry, Nyree and Jack went back to Widdershins? Did more time pass between the door opening and the final thnk than was apparent? Or is Harry already loose upon Widdershins?
That looks to be the same moment, to me. Jack went through first, Harry is behind him.
Okay sweet. Then mainly I'm just impressed that considering all the crap that's about to go down through that door.. Arpana was able to keep a cheerful expression on her face, until the door closed. That is one scary lady.
The door makes the same sound as the cinematographic readying of a revolver from two pages back - might this make someone nervous?
all fun and games till someone asks for MR. Barber and gren does the dog point thing at ... SID. confusion and embarrasment all around :D
Sigh, if no one else will...
May I have your attention please
May I have your attention please
Will the real Harry Barber please stand up
I repeat, will the real Harry Barber please stand up
I think we are going to have a problem here
I'm Harry Barber, yes, I'm the real Barber,
All those other Harry Barbers are just...
... Sherry larders?
... Merry farters?
Okay, I got nothing.
