Ah yes, making deals with unseen entities always works out well.
I'm pretty sure that's somewhere on the Evil Overlord list.
And it looks like she's about to consume an energy field larger than her head, too.
Or be consumed by it. Either way.
Unseen to whom?
And without being extra careful in your wording.
"Thea, Thea, what do you see?"
"ALL"
"IT'S FOREVER IN THERE"
"My God! It's full of starfish!"
When I first saw you comment I misread that last part as sea sponges and immediately thought of Ludo Bonnaire from Tiger Tiger kicking the door down to this comment in excitement.
Still nice reference, I'll open the pod bay doors for you now.
That is the Best comment. Period.
I can't upvote this enough
hsss
Oh no :o

typo ? "who are you talking toP"
no typo, that's a question mark
uh, wow. Sorry. I may need new glasses ^^;
haha no worries, the font does kinda squash it!
That's why they are comic fonts!
So much action on one page!
This is fine.
It looks like Thea was presented with another angle on her "Benefit the most people" self-justification
"If she starts calling us pitiful insects, run!"
"Will that help?"
"Probably not."
well, that confirms it, she is The witch of that anchor, only witches can see entities others cant see
Isn't it a diferent sense for every witch?
We've had seeing and smelling, so this one is hearing?
I thought mountain witch heard auras like music on the wind
I wasn't sure if we'd already had that one or not...
Could be touch, that would work
We only have a sample size of three so far.
She is The Witch now. I think that was the offer that was just made.
I agree with you, seems she was offered the post and accepted it. Interesting she was given the option though, I don't think Mal was?
Maybe the Fourth Anchor does things differently, since it hasn't had a witch before that we know of.
Could it be that the plan was about to work, so the Portal had to offer something that would give her reason to switch her allegiance now?
given where that anchor is, I'd be willing to bet that whatever is in it doesn't want a witch so much as it just wants company.
How many people go cruising out in the middle of the atlantic looking for powerful sources of magic? the answer is "Not many".
And I suspect most of the people who do go cruising, etc., are not great conversationalists.
"Mad! They called me mad! I will be vindicated!"
Depending on your tastes they might be the best conversationalists!
Given that the ocean anchor is somewhere in the Pacific well off the coast of Chile anyone looking for it in the Atlantic probably is mad.
ah, getting my oceans mixed up.
An excellent compromise. She’ll be able to run the Anchor as a franchise for her Dad and an overseas protectorate for the USA.
If that's what it takes to keep Chile from being inundated.
Oh my.
I'm guessing she's talking to the Anchor, since her eyes have turned the same color as the door, but what is it asking her to do...?
"Please shut the door, you're letting in a draft."
Say hello to the witch of the sea anchor: Thea just accepted the position.
Can wizards... BECOME witches by making deals that give up their wizard-ness?
Ooh, interesting idea!
Are Witches and Wizards exclusive? Wasn't lust summoned by a witch, something that wizards do?
I was wondering that as well.
I hope she ends up in the Space Between.
Will she find Moreta's Gold there?
Mal just invited her over for a pie and a pint - or a mug of tea if she prefers not to drink while working. Go fer it Mal, you've pulled...
Cheerio,
Thea hears the hissing hippo of happiness!
Thea Pryce pays the price.
Not as drag-fabulous as Ursula, but I'll allow it.
Looks like a letter transposition in the tags: "Pemberton Prcye"
Yikes! Another reflexive proofreader.... We are so few (and so seldom rewarded) for our peculiar abilities/curses. Here's hoping that the artist will forgive us for suggesting a correction to a merely technical fault.
In my experience, the usual response to unsolicited proofreading of webcomics is to be either thanked or ignored. I've never had an artist get mad at me for it.
Incidentally, clicking on the tag shows that the name was misspelled on the April 15th page as well.
It's clearly the evil twin, Mr. Prcye. Or so Mr. Pryce will state in court when trying to defend the near genocide of an entire coastline. Hohoho.
eeeeeeeee
You didn't need to add any extras. Thank you!
a pleasure :)
So... what IS it asking for? (Especially since she didn't think wiping out a coastline was too much).
Well, intriguing, but not unexpected.
Ohhhhh. I thought mages couldn't be witches.. Unless she's going to see herself in grey or whatever her sense/version of that is? It'd be a bit weird to not be able to see/smell/taste/hear yourself or something. Or maybe she won't be a wizard anymore?
Then again, that's assuming it's the anchor and not a greedy sin or something I guess haha
Witch!
Burn her!
Quick, somebody weight a duck!
Every one is assuming she is talking to the Anchor, not something else. Keep in mind this is how we got introduced to Pride and Greed.
Hmm. Excellent point, especially since it has been established, or at least implied, that wizards can't enter the area in between and therefore cannot be witches. (Also, we've never seen an anchor speaking to someone, nor any indication that the anchor itself is sentient.)
Yeah, though I would say Envy, rather than Pride and Greed. Mal knew the door was his, but he didn't hold a conversation with it. Envy meanwhile gave Voss quite a sales pitch. Even if Voss never explicitly said "I accept", his "Widdershins it is" sure seems to have the same implications as Thea's words here.
TL;DR: Tim is still in the running for the role of our sea green witch. ;)
There is no Petal, only Zuul.
