Are those Sid's plans and maps to mount an expedition to go get Harry?
At the very least they're his calculations and predictions of where Harry could be.
"map of aotearoa & its islands...
including mysterious anchor island..."
definitely plans for a rescue/plans to figure out where to search to make a rescue.
Thanks for writing down the text. It helps!
Okay, so important question time: If the location of the 4th Anchor was such a big mystery until roughly right goddamned now, how does this map even exist???
Because it's a map of the island anchor where Harry was, and not the unknown fourth anchor.
I've decided to assume that the fourth Anchor is at the Nazca Lines until I'm told otherwise.
Ah, damnit, I keep forgetting the anchor where Harry was isn't the 4th Anchor.
Wait a tick, this means [my rabid speculations](http://disq.us/p/2bt0por "http://disq.us/p/2bt0por") into possible anchor locations a few comics ago are still potentially valid!
(Oh god, I am so glad I replaced my old laptop. You have no idea how good it feels to finally be able to type out an entire hyperlink tag without having to copy and paste every other character from a Word document because half the buttons on my keyboard don't work).
Just replaced my old laptop for a similar reason; when it overheated (due to typing, usually), half the keyboard started typing random stuff. So yeah, I absolultely get you! And congratulations on the new one!
I was thinking they were a plan for a surprise he was going to give to Harry, but your idea makes more sense.
That second panel...

Ms Barber will never admit it, but she learned that move from Ms Cunningham.

:clicking ahead:
Ohhh. It was the Hippo who wrote the note for Mal. Duh.
So you are suggesting that Capt. Barber has also enriched Harry's love life, even if only at second hand?
So, these are maps for a ship that has not yet sailed.
"HAD not sailed"
"had not YET sailed". Sid was definitely planning a expedition to reach Harry's heart...err, Harry.
No it's sailing just coming from the other port.
... or starboard, neh?
He has multiple maps!

I assume they are all in the box Harry pulled that map from. After all, it makes sense for Ben to have rolled them all up and put them in the same box when he was tidying the place up.
Of course her hair looks lovely, Sid. It was cut by a professional Barber.
(Sorry if this was told in a previous comic; not sorry for anything else)
hrm
TWOCK
Hie thyself post-haste to the nearest punnery!
You mean [Barbara Barber, the barber](http://disq.us/p/ousr4e "http://disq.us/p/ousr4e") finally made an appearance and no one told me?
The way Sid looks at Harry 😭😭 He's so happy that she's back and I am weak
"we need to talk"
This is going to be an interesting walk...
starts passing out popcorn and chocolates
The subtle stretch and wink. Harry needs practice. And Syd is not much better at reading signals as Harry is at flashing them.
Wait that's a signal?
I don't think that's a signal. I think it's just a stretch, and the one eye is that she noticed something she wanted to look at.
That she would send a signal like that... 1) way too subtle for her, 2) jump straight to make-out sessions doesn't seem to fit the relationship, and 3) she wouldn't expect Syd to catch it.
Look at Sid's eyes in that panel. He got it.
That’s your cue Captain Barber

Now that you mention it.... Her timing is uniformly execrable, isn't it?
SOP for the Widdershins Constabluary

Aww. He would have literally travelled to the ends of the earth for her!
"Gren don't you dare approach any carts this walk, I can smell the sausage on you still."
Oh, Sid. That hug back at the anchor was not mere comradely bonhomie, you silly man.
Yes! I was hoping we'd get to see Harry's reaction to how hard Sid was looking for her. He's probably still exhausted to, isnt it still the same day?
I think it's a day or so later. Harry says "only so much fussing I can take in one afternoon", but the business at the Anchor happened in the evening.
Which Anchor though? They were in … quite different time zones …
By all rights, Harry ought to be thoroughly jet-lagged by now.
Harry probably does have some jet lag, but what I meant is that by the time everyone else started arriving at the Widdershins Anchor, it was dark out ( [https://www.widdershinscomi...](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/may-5th-2020 "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/may-5th-2020") ). If Harry's sisters have been fussing over her all afternoon, it has to be at least the next day.
Antipodal, in fact. 12 hours apart and Spring swapped for Fall.
Sid being awkward is sweet and completely relatable. <3
In case anyone else has trouble reading upside down, I made this
What's the over/under that Florrie is staking out the place right now, waiting to see what happens with Harry and Sid?
Nothing much, just searching for the fire of my life. But it's okay, she... um it returned!
Sorry Sid but this stage you won't be exiting, not if Harry has any say! The show goes on!
I adore the amount of space you're giving to denouement. We're attached to these characters and they deserve it.
