Too shady, even without Snuka’s involvement – Chapter 9, Act 2, Strip 71

Yeah, Gregory thought he knew the school so well, he could find his way around it blindfolded. Turns out that that’s just a common hyperbolic statement, and actually finding your way around a familiar place while unable to see is fucking hard. Plus dangerous. At least, unless the familiar place is a padded cell…in which case walking around blindfolded is not dangerous, but that wouldn’t be your biggest problem anyway.

The sake obviously didn’t help. I was thinking about adding a double-vision effect to the POV panels, but ultimately I felt Maru-maru wouldn’t have made him drink that much.

In Gregory’s defense, that thing about taking of a pair of shades to reveal a second, smaller one beneath is hella cool…you can’t really fault a guy for attempting that at least once in their life. If that attempt leaves them hurting and upside-down at the foot of a flight of stairs, you can fault them for a potential second attempt. At least in Tennessee. Well, definitely in Texas, possibly in Tennessee.

Anyway, the main take-away of today’s episode is simply: you can never be properly prepared for a meeting with Mori-senpai.

More on Thursday.
