I certainly hope that means we'll understand things better!

The face is Dani. The ear is Pearl. And the arm is holding up something... (those are my guesses…)

OK, I'm going there again: it's a picture of a girl with Pearl's ear in. It's a bit late for mistletoe. It must be Miriam's coat.

So, we ARE going there. Some beautiful possibilities around the corner.  |

Nice! Here's hoping for a big splash page coming soon, hopefully with Miriam's induction...
Something about those faces in the last panel, though. Mmmm, hot.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Miriam gets added to the harem! I have wanted this to happen since she was introduced...what, a year ago? Longer?
Yes!
I don't know why, precisely, but something about mother/daughter pairs getting mind-controlled really turns me on. Incest is not required; the MCer could be someone unrelated and the women don't have to be having sex with each other. But for some reason the concept of mother/daughter both getting taken by the same controller is very sexy to me. Ecstatic to see it happening here.

Okay. What. The. Hell??  "Thanks for walking Miriam home." WHAT? She lives at the SJI now? Before programming? Since when? That made even less sense than if Johannes had grabbed his coat and said "Thanks for giving my pilot a place to stay. I've felt for awhile now that she needs a permanent address, and you all are just so...warm and giving." Does that make any sense? Of course not. On the DF front, I'm hearing rumblings of a very sad development. Apparently, the gorgeous Daphne Rosen has decided to retire from the active business and just manage her site network. Too bad. All the more reason for the Waiting Room comic to make much more frequent appearances here. |

Miriam says she needs to get home, and Adrian offers to walk her home. FROM the SJI. Separately, regarding #368: Hot damn! Awesome. |

The way Ezra phrased it, it sounded as if he was sure it had already happened. Of course, this is one of the vagaries of English, so it could be read either way.
Note, with that purple scarf or doo rag, or shawl on her head, Pearl's mix of black hair with purple highlights looks a bit similar to Raven's style. Hmm.

Wow, does this ever raise some ethical conundrums. Up until now, those that created/added to the harem were either relatively unknown to us, or added as a way of rescuing them (granted, this was all quite some time ago). Now we have Pearl, who we have had a long time to get to know (relative to the publishing of the comic, anyway) and who we know was controlled in what has been portrayed in a 'bad way' (ie. made to believe things that were not true about her mother, and presumably prevented from having intercourse). She would be seen as a victim, someone damaged by the watch/stone/jewel (whatever we are calling it).
To then have Erin and Dani do the same thing (influence her against her will using the jewel) would seem to be horrifying on the surface (even though we know they are also under it's influence).
But here's the tricky thing about writing these kind of things - Daphne has made these ladies likeable, amiable, protagonists. What THEY do to people we don't mind, because they are 'the good guys'; the white hats.
Daphne has set things up so that we are okay with 'good people' doing 'bad things' (relative to Pearl and her experience).
That's good writing.
NOTE: yes, I know we've all wanted Pearl to go under the influence, and join the harem. I'm right there with everyone else. I am admiring Daphne for sticking something horrifying into the mix while we waited (Pearl being influenced by the bad guys), and THEN giving us what we want, so we would enjoy something that is pretty awful.
