Wow, for the first time in a good while, an update sneaks up on me after I checked my comic links. ...I totally have to stop getting up hours before noon xD

Poor Jyrras, one tends to forget that pretty much the entire post-SAIA event chain most likely happened fairly recently in the continuity. Not having the time to stop and think is possibly the worst-case scenario for a thinker like him.

And personally, I'm more of a fan of panel-1-Jyrras in terms of expressions - Lorenda reminds me of the strip where Mab and Lorenda notice him flying past in the background, but in a good way, of course. :)

Now the question is whether that last line was for the pity effect or genuine?

Well, it's one of the few remaining items on his "Things that can put my world upside down and flush it down the toilet" list, so it may be resignation... (although I personally go with "genuine insight"... especially since "Insight" is the comic's title :P)

I think the real question is whether Lorenda even wants to be friends any more...or if Albanion has jiggered the books so that Jyrras will have something to lose.

Personally I think she's gonna say the exact opposite of what Jyrass is expecting.

And just think - this isn't Amber spending days working on getting it right, this is one day's output in a four-times-weekly strip.

I'm -scared- by how good she has drawn this one frame. ;-]

S'prolly the "wait, what?" one. Before she says that, she says "Well yeah but you..." meaning that she agrees with the statement, but she's more concerned with what's happened to Jyrass than that at the moment. Or something.

What are you talking about? Of course that's exactly what a Janus is for. Why, the name itself could easily be interpreted as 'yummeh' or maybe hummus...
But the point is that hot food should not go to waste!

However, I would never personally eat a Janus, for the calories and cholesteral would most likely kill me.
