Aaaand now Macbeth.  Let's just hope that any witches are not the "secret, black and midnight hags" that Macbeth greets but are instead something more in line with what this comic normally presents.  (Though, iirc, one of the witches in the 1971 movie version of Macbeth was pretty hot, but that could just be my teenaged brain remembering something that wasn't there, mostly because I was amazed that we watched that at school.)

If given a choice, I'd hope SJI "witches" in this reference looked more like Rain, Raven, Erin, or Pink Ponytail than the old woman with the poisoned apple in Snow White.

The title could refer to ol' Sam, or Angry Goth Man, or the survivors of the Watchmaker clan.

"By each at once her chappy finger laying
Upon her skinny lips: you should be women,
And yet your beards forbid me to interpret
That you are so."
-- Banquo, Macbeth, Act I, Scene II.

I think I've seen 8 production of Macbeth in my lifetime including two or three films.  None of them featured witches with prop beards.

In fact, one of the first ones I saw was a community college production, and they had a gal who could have been a model as one of the witches.  They painted her face green and gave her a foofy '80s Cher wig and called it good.

All I'm saying is that it might be enjoyable to have harbingers of fate (or dispensers of talent and destiny) be Rain's disapproving sisters or something.

(Just checked: it is.)

Yeah, when you have a Weird Sister saying that about you, it might be time to reexamine your life choices.

Waiting for the cricket match to break out, and the eventual explanation of its deeper meaning ... The title on the comic page itself is "Something Wicket This Way Comes". :-)

That's an SJI tradition.  We did learn one thing: Cherry is with whoever found the watch casing.  Same black car, speaking a foreign language.
