Look ! They're holding hands !
Hmmmm. Is Wrath still about? This could get awkward... :/
Kerchief to filter the smoke - yay, Barbers to the rescue! But be careful Harry!
A wetted kerchief, too. Harry's not wasting a moment - she's already moving to fill the bucket in the pond in the first panel.
Ooh, good catch.
Was reading 'Sword Interval' today and that looks suspiciously like Harry and Sid in that second last panel: [http://www.webtoons.com/en/...](http://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/sword-interval/ep-51-a-nice-sentiment/viewer?title_no=486&episode_no=52 "http://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/sword-interval/ep-51-a-nice-sentiment/viewer?title_no=486&episode_no=52")
That's them! He got a loooot of cameos on that page :D
I see Greed's treasure from the first chapter on their poker table as well.
Harriet has her gun. But no pipe; just a cigarette.
It takes a really good artist to draw a pipe well.
...I'm just going to end up binge-reading that entire comic this morning, am I?
Oh, do! Sword Interval is great, and has a Kickstarter up right now, too! [https://www.kickstarter.com...](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1637065512/the-sword-interval-volume-1?ref=user_menu "https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1637065512/the-sword-interval-volume-1?ref=user_menu")
Just backed and recommended it to my own readers:

Ahh lovely, thanks! Ben makes some great comics, glad to see other people enjoying them too.
What got me was the landscape. Reminded me of some of the stuff Pacific Rim did, and I like Pacific Rim. :)
Yeah! His scenery is killer, he's got a post-apoc comic where he knocks the environment design out of the park, too [http://derelictcomic.com/](http://derelictcomic.com/ "http://derelictcomic.com/")
Thumbs up for Derelict - probably the most original post-apoc comic out there. And one of webcomic's best female protagonists as well (Of course, I include the Barber women in that list!)
Another good post-apoc one is Stand Still, Stay Silent. [http://www.sssscomic.com](http://www.sssscomic.com "http://www.sssscomic.com")
The wanted board seems to have people from a few different webcomics, too. Looked like the bottom few panels were a cameo/reference section
Full list on his Tumblr- [http://bfleuter.tumblr.com/...](http://bfleuter.tumblr.com/post/145944985421/the-sword-interval-has-updated-flats-by-natasha "http://bfleuter.tumblr.com/post/145944985421/the-sword-interval-has-updated-flats-by-natasha")
Such a lovely highlighting of the Barber sisters in a crisis - the difference between Harry unhurriedly rolling up her sleeves and heading straight for the immediate goal, and Nicola dashing off to herd together a makeshift team in light of the bigger picture.
(Also the difference between "I stoically raise my eyebrow in the face of danger" Harry and "yelling at bystanders in lieu of being able to clap the fire in irons" Nicola, with a dash of "frankly perplexed, but rolling with it!" Sid on the side.)
Sid is generally useful in a crisis. Maybe not entirely derring-do, but he can do his job.
Thank you for the hilarious mental image of Nicola trying to tell the fire it's under arrest.
...Just take your upvote and go, I'm not done laughing.
Hey, if Sam Vimes can arrest a goddamned dragon, it's gotta at least be worth a shot, right?
Or Sidney's curse stealing and hiding it somewhere on his person.
"Wow, being a bounty hunter's assistant pays even better than I thought, something's just burning a hole in my wallet--ohgoodness"
Anyone notice how Nicola didn't correct Harry on the "your witch" line? ;)
She's too busy dealing with the crisis to waste time arguing about a point she's already lost, but yeah she would definitely object to that phasing if this wasn't literally a "the building is on fire" situation.
sigh, phrasing not phasing.
It's a crisis, she shortened her objection to "Rgh!" Much more efficient, not even any vowels.
"What in the blazes"
Dat pun, tho.
Sid in that last panel! "Don't blame me, Harry told me to!"
Typical Yorkshire woman's common sense approach to a building on fire... take in the washing before the smoke makes it dirty again.
quick, check Sid's pockets. the witch might be there
Mal: Nicola's witch
