Added 6 new A* comics:I added large versions of a few of today's comics to the gallery; click these tiny versions to get to them:
I see daily 88 there as the point where the story shifts into a somewhat darker mode. Gotta start getting serious, Vero's story's only got three and a quarter episodes left!
Oh yeah now I remember what it was I wanted to put here. In a cross-century coincidence, it just so happened that the last page of the book I read over breakfast today featured the same plot device that I was due to use in today's A* comics, namely that of using a body to rather conveniently block a door for the hero. Dig Prince Arthur getting through a door thanks to a body as he pursues the last of a batch of errant knaves:The other which was entred, laboured fast
To sperre the gate; but that same lumpe of clay,
Whose grudging ghost was thereout fled and past;
Right in the middest of the threshold lay,
That it the Posterne did from closing stay:
The whiles the Prince hard pressed in betweene,
And entraunce wonne. Streight th'other fled away,
And ran into the Hall, where he did weene
Himselfe to saue: but there he slew him at the skreene.
- Edmund Spenser, "The Faerie Queene" V.X.37 Vero = Prince Arthur? Huh well I dunno about that. Anyway, excelsior and all that!
