A few things I notice:

1) Marlissa is wearing a maid's cap as well.
2) Lela's boobs have been enhanced as well.
3) The coins all have Daffyd's brand in them.

For what it's worth, this image is the Six of Pentacles. "Your fervour for life and faith in your own talents will be renewed. The joy of being able to help someone in need will illuminate the bigger picture."

I'm definitely excited for more of this one. Comes out way too infrequently for how hot it usually is...

Six of pentacles.

"Past
Your fair consideration of others in the past will lead you to success in the present.

Present
Your fervour for life and faith in your own talents will be renewed. The joy of being able to help someone in need will illuminate the bigger picture.

Future
Keep in mind that the kindness of others is out of your control, but you are totally capable of bestowing favours on others. If you seek a favour, it may do well to give freely to others."

I have no idea if this is useful intel, but I keep trying to correlate covers with content. :)

I find that they typically do; maybe not exactly, but that's Tarot for you. For anybody who wasn't aware, every THK cover is a Tarot card.

Sure enough that's the Six; any of the other covers stick out like that?  Out of curiosity, is Tarot your hobby, religion, or just something you happened to come across?

Like I said, every THK cover is a Tarot card. It's only a loose interest; if I'm honest, trying to figure out the meanings of the covers is half the reason I'm into it.

You know, I'm happy that this story is still running strong, but I really hope that Chrysalis and Martian Harem get additions soon.  Whatever did happen to Anna of Mars and, for that matter, what about Terror of the Lost Colony?

Clearly Honey's travels through the Cuckoo's Nest accidentally deleted them out of the timeline.

Oh yes, a continuation of Martian Harem would be much appreciated!

Bear in mind that Mars is only just coming out of solar conjuction so you might have to wait a bit longer before communications are resored....

Wonderful issue. Nicolette's shock - and quick recovery - at meeting the maids was a nice touch.

What else can I say? I hope the next one isn't many months away... this is still one of the top 3 comics on this site.

Defnitely one of my favourite series, if not the favourite, too, and this episode was right up there, so thank you very much Daphne and, of course, your great artistic team

I see Daffyd has taken security advice and changed the encryption key again. Fortunately for us it's only a linear transition so not too diffcult to crack. Just to prove it: I think there's a spelling mistake with the sixth letter of the command to Bethany... ;)

I agree. Though it seems most of the target audience and site income comes from those that seem to enjoy tits you could fit triplets inside.

Goddamnit! I can't figure it out again...
I've been trying to get it all evening and I'm stumped!

I know it doesn't change the story but I like knowing exactly what he says to them.


(and there's a difference between 'big boobs', which I also like, and unfathomably large bags hanging from her chest)

It's a Caesarian cypher: every letter is shifted by the same number.

This website is a good, easy to use system for decrypting it: http://www.dcode.fr/caesar-cipher

Or, a bit more elegantly... from context, guess what the first command to Ulrika on page 5 (with the first and third letters the same - and the fourth and seventh) is likely to be and use that to deduce the shift.

On what planet is that an elegant solution?

That website has a brute force option.

Smash it!

Now I'm happy again.


(except for the comically big boobs...) ;)

I still don't understand what "business" they involved in, can someone explain?

Post by: Dr. White on September 01, 2017, 08:15:46 pm
They're perfectly legitimate businessmen. ;D

It's pretty much corruption in the construction industry... Mafia stuff.


(by the way, is there a way to get a text-less version of the cover art?)

Finally got a translation figured out. You really put a lot into the writing of this series, Daphne. Hot stuff, all the way through.
