Mind Control Comics Forum

Since this thread came alive again, I guess I'll use it for the following corrections to the SJI character tags:

• 121: I don't see Raven in the comic, and Adrian isn't tagged.
• 134 & 135: This should be Erin and Raven, not Mallory and Raven.
• 141: If Echo's presence in the photo warrants tagging, shouldn't Adrian be tagged too?
• 161: Should Julian be tagged here, for the break-in?
• 171: Based on the sleeping arrangements in #168, I think this should be tagged with Erin, not Laura.

That's what I've found up through #250 inclusive.  Further bulletins as events warrant.

...and I, for one, love them.

• 121: Raven's there. Adrian was an oversight, thanks.
• 134 & 135: Yep!
• 141: Reasonable point!
• 161: Nice try. :-)
• 171: Yep!

Corrections made.

Ah, I misidentified the woman in #121 panel 2 as Erin because I mistook the red hat for red hair.  Of course, this raises the question of why Erin is also tagged for this comic because now I don't see her.

More corrections:

• #275: I don't think Kanti is in this one.
• #329: Back in #G19, which I think is supposed to be the same scene, the blonde is tagged as Annie, but in #329 she's tagged as Katie.
• #332: I'm not seeing Cherry, unless she's the cop, which would be very interesting...

And that takes me through #350 inclusive.

Ah, right.  People speaking/communicating remotely still count.


Well... that is interesting.  If my understanding of the SJI social maps is correct we wouldn't expect her to have been involved in the Pink Clouds thread.

I hope you don't mind my posting these possible corrections.  I think enough of them have been valid to justify the ones that turned out wrong.  Besides, it serves as a good reason for doing an archive trawl, which is turning out to be more time consuming than I'd originally expected.

Oh, no, thank you for doing so!

I'm going to move this thread over to SJI shortly, since it's about that title, so if you are wondering what happened to it, there it is. :-)

More questions and comments:

• #359: I assume Miel is one of the students in panel 3?
• #438: I'd argue that we have enough information, based on #435, to conclude that Vik is in the orange car.
• #443: Adrian is not in this one.
• #444: In the past, people in photographs have been tagged.  On that basis, Patrick and Miel should be tagged here.

And that takes me through #450 inclusive.

#359: Is the question "Which one is Miel?"
#438: It's an edge case. The rule is that we are cataloging "appearances," but I think this can be argued as such.
#443: Fixed, thanks!
#444: An edge case, and if I recall we went back and forth on it, but I think it's fine to include them.

Thanks!

The first panel of 269 suggests that Annie may have become Katie. laguna85 pointed out as early as 219 that Annie in the guest page looked like Katie. I don't know if it was a mistake for which 269 sought to provide a cover.

Funnily enough, I had wondered if Cherry and Julian were disguised as the campus cops in 247. I'd forgotten, but we were told in the forum that Cherry was the cop in 332. I'm not sure if it's possible for Cherry to actually have been a cop in Kearsarge at that time. Note that 823 seems to place Vik at the New York harem (getting blown by Cherry?) in a character's memories. (Actually, I say a character's memories, but Echo appears to be in New York right now, and not in The Cloud, so I'm not sure to whom those memories belong.) We now have it confirmed that that's Miel in the last panel of that page too. But is it really? Is Vik there?

Another batch.

• #456: Should be Miriam, not Danielle.
• #488: Erin is not in this one.  Per #489 she's upstairs on a Skype call with Aiken.
• #492: Interesting... I never realized Julian was the offscreen speaker in this one.
• #512: Amy and Hayley are in this one too.
• #571: I think that's Meghan in the first panel.
• #588: I think the woman with Julian in the hotel is Patricia?
• #590: Jakob in spite of appearances, I guess.
• #597: And here the man in the crystal vision is tagged as Adrian.  Is there a reason for the inconsistency, or is it a glitch in the Matrix?  The same question applies to #599.

And that's through #600 inclusive.  Halfway done!

Thanks!

Not to tread on anyone's toes but I chanced upon a couple in the 900s and ended up checking through (I think) 750 to now.

• 777 Burt isn't listed
• 804 Maybe this one got overwritten with 807's list (should be Julian, Mallory).
• 807 No one is listed (should be Kanti, Patricia, Rowena).
• 831 Kanti isn't listed.
• 859/928 Probably correctly labelled but... Kanti left The Cloud twice?
• 886 Technically Amaltheia has a speech bubble here even if it's empty.
• 895 Erin isn't listed.
• 914 Adrian isn't shown.
• 915 Mallory is listed but she isn't shown.
• 916 Mallory is not listed but she is shown.
• 929/933 Pamela is only listed for these two pages. Is she Patricia?
• 965 Rachel isn't listed.
• 1043 Patrick not Adrian.

Thanks!

777: Where is he?
886: No, Amaltheia isn't speaking there.
895: Where is she?
914: Adrian has a speech bubble.
916: Good catch!

Being a bit nosy I had a very close look - and I'd say top right hand panel going by hairstyle and neck wear. I'm VERY impressed by your powers of observation GW  - I certainly wouldn't have spotted it!!!!!!

Fair cop! She is in 895.

And Burt has been spotted in 777! Good eye

Can't help feeling that Jakob should have been in #666 - but he wasn't!  :D

Darn it! That was one of the first ones I noted down and I don't think I'd yet built up the knowledge of all the things you have to check for.

444 has an entry for "Patrick Miel".
