Okay, so 330 was the fun before the headache.  Okay.  Fair warning. *deep breath*

So Kuppler had other methods of MC. Interesting. So perhaps the watch was the 'perfected' version of this?

Now, is that Erin in the 4th panel in the back making out with some blonde chick?

Art continues to be amazing. I don't know why, but Erin's 'serious face' at the bottom of the page might be my favorite rendition of her so far. Her hair looks a bit more... something, as well.

Yes. And is "some blonde chick" any way to talk about Dani? :)

I wasn't sure it was her, considering she's clothed two frames before. Are they... in the scene? Or are they just there because they're part of the ritual? Or is that distinction fuzzy?

If Erin was actually there... that certainly changes things.

So Erin can Heal people and have a way to break the bond of the crystal wand or the watch.
Now I think that Claudia is look for the wrong woman, She think that Danielle can reprogram her and break the control over her.
But she really need Erin to break the mind control hold on her.

Now We need find out if that Erin and Danielle have sex in the back ground is part of Miriam memory or part break block of her memory?

that why well written Comics with twist and turn to the plot of the story.

So all the Guest pages and SJI page of Danielle falling out is away to clear her mind of park of the control.

What a town
The tower & crystal wand ball & pink cloud & the ring may be part of the watch and tower. To control a woman mind

SJI 51 I think that Woman in polaroids is Miriam now? Did miss a posting?

This really is great. I try to avoid keeping on saying it but just so's you know - it really is. Not that you need me to tell you...

My take is that Dani and Erin making out is a reference to what's currently happening in the storeroom. Obviously we could start to question exactly whose POV we're looking at here. I assume it's some kind of third-person representation of what Miriam and Erin are collectively experiencing. In which case this could be a sort of dream-state rationalization of what two of the people currently present in Miriam's mind are doing.

But I have to say, from a story point of view, I'd love it if Erin really was a slave there.

Jakob probably isn't twelve, or something. Check.

And he looks like he just stepped off the box of Mastermind, which is appropriate. And which would have been an appropriate place for Sue to have been hiding (Page 311? Holding up the appropriate LP sleeve? Looking slightly flapped?).

And that looks like Zenon's crystal...

Curiouser and curiouser.

SJI 51 I think that Woman in polaroids is Miriam now? Did miss a posting?

But the woman in the polaroids doesn't have blue eyes?

The art continues to be stupendously good, especially this one and the last few.
And the story... well, sometimes I think it's a bit too convoluted, but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it immensely.

Impossible. Word of God says she's entirely unflappable.

In 1988 some gay rights activists invaded a BBC news studio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JKHOOFwkr4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JKHOOFwkr4)) while a broadcast was in progress. One of them handcuffed herself to the desk of newsreader Sue Lawley. In the Sunday Times and the Observer that weekend, both TV review columns carried a still from the broadcast. As I recall it, one captioned their photo: "Sue Lawley: unflappable" while the other captioned theirs: "Sue Lawley: flappable".

I wouldn't have mentioned this if she hadn't been called Sue.

I looked back at 311 and Sue is there holding a perfect album.  I think she's slightly off-balance and slightly annoyed at getting the finger freeze from Adrian.  Totally missed it the first time. ;)  Of course.

Housekeeping note--the weblink to this issue says i3301.  Of course I love the idea of this series running that long, but I think that's a typo. ;)

Some phrases do need to be savoured even if they mean nothing to most of the readership. (I believe it's the final hoop that any budding royal correspondent has to jump through.)

It's rare that they manage to speak for all of us.
