Oh my gosh I love her and her cat.
And I admire her focus. Someone who hasn't seen me in years complimenting me on my glo-up would absolutely work to distract me from a line of conversation.
Yawning Parsley is the cutest!
Eliza and her cat have captured my heart already
I think I want her dress!
There's good custom clothiers all over the place--both pro and amateur--who can make you just about anything you like. Ask around. :)
And be prepared to pay a good sum for that.
True, but for the ones I use it's not as bad as you might think.
Is her dog called Dill?
Sage, Rosemary or Thyme are good possibilities, as well.
Perhaps Scarborough Fair?
all of these are good, though i believe sturzkampf has correctly identified my love of parsley the lion from kid's tv show The Herbs
You cannot possibly be old enough to have seen The Herbs.
you underestimate how much of daytime channel 4 is reruns.
First time that I saw it, it wasn’t a repeat.
It's kind of like, yes, I did see the first season of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. When it first showed on PBS...
I'm guessing panel 4 is meant to imply Vincent hasn't seen Eliza since before she (to use modern parlance) came out and/or transitioned?
I thought he wanted to call her by her surname first for some reason (it says "Swift's" on the storesign on the previous page).
both of you are correct! swifty was her childhood nickname but she'd rather be called by her first name now.
Oh awesome! I missed this before but had to dig around to see if I'd gotten the same vibe. Glad I'm not the only one who thought Eliza was trans. :-D
A tactic I used myself early on in transition. One place I worked for knew me (outside of legal documents, of course) only by my last name.
I like Vincent's little nervous stammer - it's a nice, subtle distinguishing feature for his character voice.
He's doomed.
He never had a chance, did he? :P
Epic. Fail. xD
I thought it on the last page too, but it’s even stronger with this page - Eliza looks so much like a young Joan Cusack that now I can’t imagine her any other way. Which is fine, because Joan Cusack is awesome.
I thought exactly the same!
Deflecting questions with compliments. I'll have to remember that.
Parsley! Huzzah!!!!
Oh I like her.
Say, is she related to the prisoner on the cover? Her body language in panel 5 looks awfully familiar.
I think that's mostly just the grin, which could be just an artist convention. But what do I know? :P
It's a very distinctive grin. The only character who's come anywhere close to that grin was Envy, and even that was different.
Oh, Vincent, Vincent...did you really think you were going to get away with that?
Final panel: I'd be nervous if i were he - she looks a LOT like Luxuria in that profile...
