Language, Wolfe!
in fairness he at least swore in another language
Who has been filling the Witch House with pot plants? Ben will not approve. Those things bring dirt and pests into the house!
That is a cactus, not a pot plant.
The plants on the first floor (or the second floor, if using the heathen American floor naming convention) most certainly do not look like cacti.
Oh, you mean the ones on the second floor railing? One's a ficus, and the other looks like an aspidistra. Neither is a specimen of cannabis sativa.
😀
Hey! It really doesnt make sense for the second floor to be called the first floor, cuz the first floor is the first one you see, on the ground.
The first floor you encounter when entering a building normally is the first floor by definition. (You foreigners are so weird.) ;)
No cacti! Ficus, aspidistra, spider plant. Nice easy ones to look after.
Meh. Cacti are easy!
Then again, I specialize in scented orchids, so maybe my perspective is off.
They still bring dirt and creepy crawlies into the house. I suspect (gasp) a feminine influence.
There truly are plants that will magically get dirt & bugs outside their pots seemingly no matter how hard you try to be careful, but those three are not some of them. That's part of their popularity.
Cactus is when the pricks are on the outside, right?
It's in a pot. It is a pot plant.
...? The point of the pot is the dirt doesn't leave it. And I've never encountered bugs on my indoor plants.
Tell that to Mr Thackerey
Wolfe wears reading glasses now! And he’s writing his own music!
Look at Mal, all relaxed and leaning against the door frame. Time and safety have been good to him.
Sometimes the dreams in the Witch-House are good ones.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH /POS
WOLFE MY MAN!!!!!
And who is the lady in that picture frame?
Well, Florrie is in town
Ah good idea but Florrie is blonde…
Actually, she's a redhead, or, at least, a strawberry blonde. (It's an important plot point back in Curtain Call.)
This looks rather like my stage set for The Play That Goes Wrong....
You could've written all Wolfe's remarx in German and it could still have been pretty easy to understand here. 🙂
... do we have any idea which dialect of German Wolfe would be uttering? There are shades and grades of understandability with those, even for other Germans ... 😉
True, „damn it“ in ‚high‘ German is simply „Verdammt!“, in Bavarian „Zerfix!“ But for some reason, I always thought Wolfe comes from a Prussian family.
In Green Eyed Monster when Wolfe and Voss were signing up for the army, the Prussian flag was in the background, so I always assumed Prussia as well.
That does rule out Bavaria(n), but even at the time of/before Queen Victorias coronation (1838), Prussia covered quite a number of German(ic) dialects' home areas ...
"I didn't know anyone was listening!"
... that's quite a long neck for a violin (and by the way he's holding it, it's not a Streichzither, either) ... ?
I saw this with the "Gay Test" ad. It always seems to know. Can ads have gaydar but for comics?
Ok, I have literally only seen Jack for ONE FRAME, and I can already tell by his body language that he is so much happier than he has been over the course of the comic. Thank you for giving the boi a break.
Surprised that he is writing new music in ink instead of charcoal. Seems a bit messy, though charcoal could be too.
Just a little annotation: Heinrich would probably use a pencil, not a fountain pen - far easier to correct, and no danger of getting nasty ink tracks. Still, it's a very good page!
this page is so cute it makes me so happy :)
Sounding good and sounding right are two different things, mate.
