"Welcome to my place, let's leave!"
Hahaha :D
Now, what is Florrie wearing around her neck? Could it be our mysterious enchanted necklace?
The abrupt change of plans certainly has Harry non-plussed. If Florrie is indeed wearing that necklace, maybe this is what she sensed was wrong in the last page!
I don't think so... The necklace didn't really look like Florrie's style, and I can't imagine her pairing that sort of thing with this light turquoise look!
comparing what little we see of florries necklace, they look similar enough. we need a closer look, though.
And we have Gren sniffing about, as well.
Don't be ridiculous, it'd clash with her dress :P
Jesus christ it's a poor person, get in the carriage!
boom
An "mm hmm" and a smile rather than "hrm" and a scowl - a momentary mellowing, Harry? Did her pipe smoke form a question mark?
Really, Harry seems rather more...well, more like, 'less grunty' in this. Look at her expressions throughout. Relaxed? I think relaxed might be it. Maybe its just me, but it seems like Sid is having quite an effect on her in general.
Indeed - maybe the "hrm" was discovering that she wasn't as violently opposed to the flowers as she might have expected.
Yeah, she does seem far calmer than I've seen before. Also, I don't think that was the smoke. Would've been cool though.
So the Barber grandparents names are Henry and Isabelle? I went back and looked at the chapter cover and the characters listed as being on the cover are Henry Barber and Isabelle Holt. Considering how the Barber grandparents past was alluded to in the last chapter and the chapter started with a scene from the Elizabethan period which is before the present time in the comics I'm guessing this might be a story about the Barber grandparents. That would actually be pretty cool. I'm looking forward to learning about the infamous Barbers and their past!
My thoughts exactly! I'm nearly as excited as Sid to meet the Barber grandparents!
Though this does leave me wondering, what about the Barber parents? Have we ever heard anything about them???
A smidge more than what Sanjay mentions...

Something tells me that Sid and Harry are following in Henry and Isabelle's footsteps. Especially with the "well done" from Florrie in the second strip there. >:-D
"Terribly sorry for the rush, seems we had a run in with envy and anger together! Imagine that..."
Sid's squee is adorable.
I think what you're trying to say is "Hee hee, isn't he cute"
Those flowers keep moving and the bunch is getting bigger: What are you up to Sidney?
Is he ever going to get over that habit?
It's not a "habit" - it's a magical affliction over which he has no control.
Harry is going to be very surprised by the turn this little family get-together is going to take, I betcha,..
This reminds me of something. A long time ago, on a page far, far away, Kate said that Harry telling Sid who her grandfather is was like telling someone your Indiana Jones' grandkid. This is like telling someone they are about to MEET Indiana Jones.
Hence Sid turning into a fangirl. :D And, is it me, or was Harry rather looking forward to seeing him trying to walk on air just by the way she dragged out the presentation? xD
Is the street named after their family? That looks like an R before Street.
Something tells me with the way that Florrie was all "well done" back in the first arc is that Harry's at least kind-of following in grandparent's footsteps to the letter... >:-D
(Waaaay off topic...) Did I miss mention of you being in the running for finalist for one of the Hugo Awards? If not, you're certainly playing that cool... :-D
I saw that one of the Foglios mentioned Widdershins as a comic they nominated, which was extremely thrilling and unexpected! [http://girlgeniusadventures...](http://girlgeniusadventures.com/2015/03/07/hugo-nominations-are-about-to-close/ "http://girlgeniusadventures.com/2015/03/07/hugo-nominations-are-about-to-close/")
It'd be quite the honour and surprise to be up for an award, but right now I'm just happy to have been mentioned.
Congratulations!
If i were voting Hugos, i'd definitely vote for you.
However, the last time i voted for the Hugos was something like twenty-five years ago.
Biggest problem is that you've got to be a paid-up member of the Convention that's hosting the WorldCon that year to be able to do that. I missed out on the most recent realistic chance for me to do that when they had it in San Antonio. Ah, well, I can push for the people who're in the running, right?
Actually, not so.
Quoting from the [Hugo Nominations page](http://sasquan.org/hugo-awards/nominations/ "http://sasquan.org/hugo-awards/nominations/") of the current Worldcon*:
{Note that tomorrow is the deadline.)
=============
* Which, judging by the remarks among my SMOF and Permanent Floating Worldcon Committee member friends and acquaintances, is likely to be a flaming disaster.
Trust me, it's making a bit of the bigtime being in the running for finalist or being one. Congratulations are most definitely in order. Only problem is...drat them all...I can't decide between you, they, or Howard... :D
I'd also suggest reading the other comic mentioned, Stand Still Stay Silent, since it's pretty dang amazing too- [http://www.sssscomic.com/](http://www.sssscomic.com/ "http://www.sssscomic.com/")
Read all of the comics, basically :)
I don't know what it is about you Project Wonderful comics, but all y'all are amazing.
Just have to say, I love Harry's expression in panel 4
Look at my reply to MiniPlane, Sanjay... That would be the first REAL mention of any of the grandparents. ;-)
YES FINALLY ALL CAUGHT UP THIS TOOK ME TWO HOURS TO READ.
Two hours is a pretty good pace for over 450 pages, well done! Glad to have kept your attention for so long :)
2nd day, so far... 3 years into the future! Loving it all!
Thanks. The brother isn't even in the picture (literally) - wonder if he'll show up?
I guess that means he's either dead, evil, or... emigrated!
is "hee heeing" Victorian for sqeeing? with Sid fanboying over the grandparents and Florrie being in the same rioom as Sid and Wolfe, poor Gren should cover his (her?) ears!
