Panel 2: and now is another moment when I wonder if "homeless spirits" were able to hear Mal's words... his "Wolfe is everything" included.
Where was "Wolfe is everything" ?

Maybe not at a conscious level, but it still made an impact?
Harryyyyy! My girl!
Also panel 6: Is there heartbreaking irony in the picture of Harry looking at the horizon? Looking for a ship sent by her friends coming for her?
Harry in panel 6: Time to swim for freedom
Me, thinking as I look at the last panel: Now think about this carefully, Harry, it's really too far to swim
Time for some fishing
Harry: "YOU COULD AT LEAST SEND A BOAT!"
When life's a beach Harry, sometimes all you can do is coast along till something sails your way
Shore is some sound advice.
Kinda feel like that at times. Granted, I've taken the outlook of Wolfe on the matter as well.
We like each other, one might even say love, but she never does and I don't demand. I do on occasion ask, but for the past 15 years we've been happy to enjoy each others company and aid each other when ever possible. Can't do much against strong migraine either, so there's another island I'll never get to go and pick her up from...
Superlative advice, Mein Herr. <3
Well, at least the Shambling Mound didn't actually take her gun. Not that she's got much in the way of "Things That Need Shooting" at the moment, but nice not to lose your thing nonetheless.
Eh, I'm guessing the barrier around the island stopping people from going there through conventional means is being created by something on that island, and that sounds like a perfect target for her to shoot until it stops functioning.
But does she even know what's generating the barrier much less where it is? If it's radiating of the Witch themselves, then "shoot it until it stops being a problem" becomes a much less desirable solution. To say nothing of it being a "creates more problems than it solves" tactic; she has pretty recent experience of how badly things can go when an Anchor has no Witch.
If the barrier is somehow generated by the Anchor itself? Can the Anchor even be damaged by bullets? And if so, does that not go even further into "creates more problems than it solves" territory?
Even if the barrier is attached to an imbued object, the Witch (or one of their predecessors) probably set that up for a reason. Is it to keep nosy foreigners out... or to keep something in? More information is needed before she just starts blasting.
And what if it's none of the above? What if it's just a weird, natural property of the island? Is there even anything to shoot in the first place?
And even before all of this, we have the aforementioned problem of not having any means of locating or identifying the barrier's source. Even if you are supremely selfish and don't care a whit about the long term consequences of your actions, shoot first and ask questions later is a terrible idea when you have no means of replacing spent ammo.
Wolfe, are you talking to Sid about Harry or yourself about Mal?
Both, I think. Back in Curtain Call, Wolfe expressed how sad he was that Mal was coming into his own and wouldn't need him so much. Sounds as if he took that to heart.
To be fair, it sounded like "I am a little sad ... I am happy for him, of course, but.. it is a small feeling I have, all the same." And this confession broke his mirror because he saw this feeling as "so selfish".
I think this part is important because it explains why Wolfe is so reluctant now about searching for Mal. He sees it as a selfish act, imposing his wishes on his friend.
Or perhaps Herr Wolfe is thinking of Mrs de Montfort
There is no way Wolfe would knowingly get involved with a married woman.
Don't know if any of you lot read Sombulus (http://www.sombulus.com/com... "http://www.sombulus.com/comic/937)") but it just so happens in the latest strip Sydney is also in need of some moral support.
Looking at the last panel, I thought "Oh god, she's in Strangethorn Vale. It's worse than we thought."
Wolfe is right. I have an easier time imagining Harry riding a shark into sunset than imagining her sitting on the beach in tears all damsel-like.
Turns out it's very easy to imagine Harry riding a shark into sunset. Too bad I suck at drawing sharks. And complicated poses.
Well, you made me smile so much my face kinda hurts. <3
Curious.
Sid and Wolfe are sitting in a pub in Widdershins during normal business hours.
Harry is surveying a beach that we had previously thought was on the far side of the world ALSO IN DAYLIGHT.
Sid has bought into the antipodean notion but Harry, who seems also to be somewhere in the middle of her day, must be somewhere between, say, The eastern Americas and India with the Carribbean and the Maldives the most likely island extremes and Capoe Verde or Sao Tome and other islands in the Gulf of Guinea being favourites.
She is much closer than we had thought.
Cheerio,
Or it isn't the same time.
Or the author goofed.
Or the planet has twin suns.
Or magic.
Maybe it's dawn(ish) in one place and dusk in the other?
Creative time jump in the narrative.
(Or, it just took that long for Wolfe's words to carry to where Harry could here 'em.)
The last panel is what may be called a "scene change". It may very well be inferred that there is a change in the moment in time being portrayed, by such a scene change.
Nothing too good, it is to be hoped... ;-)
Apropos of nothing currently under discussion {someone mentioned Vee the other day, and i got to thinking...} - Are Eliza and Ben developing a Harry-and-Vee kind of relationship?
(I know this is a really late reply, but here we go.)
I saw Vee as kind of having a crush (professional or otherwise) on Harry, and trying to push her way into Harry's life, and Harry resenting that.
On the other hand, Eliza and Ben have only just met, their relationship at the moment is one of equals, and they seem to be enjoying their spirited exchange of ideas.
wow v wise
