Difficult family members - collect ‘em all!
I love the Magpie swooping in to steal the list.
i love that spot is helping harry now!
and this is very satisfying im glad we finally get to see this! maybe we'll even get Florrie's elusive husband...
Doubt it. Florrie had him walled up in the cellar.
He "[a]dded insult to injury," eh? That's...a problem.
Family members are among the suspects? That’s a clear conflict of interest and you all should be off the case. Send for The World’s Greatest Hunter.
Verity accosting a bunch of nobles and making them incredibly uncomfortable is a lot of fun to imagine
Henry's face in the second panel is cracking me up I love it. Gonna make a half face discord emote
2nd? you mean 4th?
Both? Both.
OOOOO DRAMA ☕
It's so cute to see Sid exploit his magpie now that they can work together...
Sid summons the magpie; the magpie delivers the quarry to Harry.
...Smart magpie.
Remember when Sid tossed the gun and Harry caught it ... with neither of them looking directly at each other?
Sid and Harry appear to have clicked together like Izzy and Henry did.
========================
Also, we're gonna find out why Harry and sibs apparently get on famously with the grands but don't have much, if anything, to do with the parentals.
. Also also - are we ever gonna find out who and what the time-travel cops are and what they're up to?
Good question!
The only clues I can remember were the family tree that refers to Elaine as a "vendor of professional-level disappointment" and some dialogue from Nicola and Harry in Chapter 6 that implied she was pretty conservative (criticizing Harry's attire and deliberately(?) not acknowledging Nicola was gay).
There's also a line from Eddie that seems to imply she really doesn't get along with Henry, too.
Anybody else say, "DUN DUN DUNNNN!" aloud after reading the last panel? Just me? Okay.
Well, looks like I was both right and wrong! Close enough that I'll give myself partial credit, though.
hahaha oh gee
I'm just imagining it's "Harry's magpie" now. Like when a family adopts a pet and the one parent that didn't want it becomes the pet's favourite. <3
Harry knows its favourite snacks, and takes it out for walks, and gives it a nice place to rest and it now gives Harry all the loot ^^
Mom and dad! 0_0
Yay! Looking forward to meeting them! Will be interesting to see how they acquit themselves.
Wonder if we'll meet the other elusive family member Q&A chat used to obsess over ^^
OH NO! I wondered if this would happen! It seems all sorts of unpleasant family relations that have only previously been hinted at are now being introduced. That'll be.. fun. Good luck guys!!
Oh yeah, this is going to be spectacular.
