Something Positive

The guy is entirely new.

Unless you meant the "guy" on the right, in which case: That's Kharisma.

I figured it was probably Kharisma. Wasn't completely sure, but it was my thought.

I think they may have had the guy before... long story short, he's strung out on drugs, apparently "K" based on her dialogue. "Toddi", the one with the nametag, is one of the dealers in town and hired Kharisma to look after people incapacitated by their bender. I can't remember... did we find out what happened with the guy who was ferrying drugs in the Toys for Tots dolls? I seem to remember a violent end, but I'm not in the position to archive trawl.

Bizarrely enough, Something Positive ran through my dreams last night, something involving Davan and Vanessa with her being a limited seer who was guiding the actions of the rest of the comic and deciding that Davan needed to know about it because she was giving herself over to him. Or at least those are the bits I remember...

So it was Nancy. That would've been my second guess, if I remembered Nancy existed.

Wait, I thought it was Kharisma? Definitely looks more like her. Besides, Kharisma has shown a tendency to use the names of people she knows while on the run.

It is Kharisma. I have no idea what Tiamatty is talking about.

Where we're getting confused is Kharisma is going by "Nancy" to conceal her identity, but there was already an existing character called Nancy.

And once again all character development (if there ever was any) is thrown out the window...

The way I look at it the battle against asshat behavior is not unlike that with any other addiction. Mike had a lapse.

I think it's too soon to write Mike off as having slipped fully back into the dork side, as opposed to what mentioned.

It's also possible that this discussion is a prelude, a way of putting things on familiar ground, before he discusses more personal matters. I could easily see Mike feeling dispirited in his marriage and kid and so he goes to Jason, a friend who's happily married and thrilled with his kid, for advice or sympathy. Of course, he can still mess that up really badly really quickly... ("Hey, Jason, me and Tamora have been having issues. How do you deal with your wife being a bitch?")

...

Welp. This settles it. The world is ending tonight.

I loved you all, and I LOVE THIS FUCKING COMIC. 8D

I squealed like a girl at a Justin Bieber concert. Well, a quiet girl. I feel no shame in admitting that.

Seriously, between this and Fred and the Bird I cannot deal with the feelings this man is evoking. DAMN YOU MILHOLLAND!

She has to get married in her dinosaur suit. Has to.

Yay, Vanessa! I've always identified with her, so I'm excited for the possibilities the next S*P year may bring.

Dinosaur suit and a wedding dress made to fit it.

He lives! Also, is this the first time we've seen Shazz's face?

Obviously, he grew into that nose which was all we ever saw of him...

Wow, that's one ugly kid.

Seriously creepy update with potential foreshadowing about the upcoming year.

Thing is, I've had those dreams before... although in my opinion, it's scarier when you don't remember until after waking that the person is dead.

Randy does enjoy screwing with his fans periodically (the unofficial Catchphrase of the comic is "DAMN YOU MILHOLLAND!") but.........he wouldn't kill off Davan.

.....Right?

ETA: Who is that in Panel 13 over Davan's shoulder?

Regarding the blonde guy in panel thirteen, Randy has now stated that it's Davan X Macintyre from S*P 1938. You guys all remember that spinoff comic right? Right?

I'm thionking it's Vanessa, not Davan that will meet the Grim Reaper. After all we can't have him being happy, can we?

I hope not; besides, I'd like to think we're far enough along the long-term plan for her to be, finally, Davan's True Ending.

^^ Ok, lets go with that. I'm sure Davan has an empty fridge laying around somewhere...
