Onni + cake = ?

Re: 572

"Are you good at helping souls find the afterlife?"

"One might even say that is my job."

Please take care of the murderghosts for them, ma'am.

Also, yessss, Onni, give in and taste that cake.

The Pastor used CAKE! It's super effective!

Re: 573

[yuuago]

Heeeee, Onni approves of cake. <3

...Reynir, I hope you'll figure out how to get back there when you need to.

Oh my gods, Onni started stealing Reynir's cake too. PFF. What a sneak. :D

Well this is more like the death trap atmosphere I had in mind... it's interesting how she can share her memories, if she just can remember.

Fluffy cake is good but I have to say I love this sudden creepy... wind of time blowing around them, and that it's in similar colour scheme as the prologue.

Poor Onni, just when he decided it was okay to eat cake.

Don't worry, we'll find you.

Re: 575

[yuuago]

I love how determined Reynir looks. "I'll find you." Ahh. <3 You shouldn't make promises if it ain't certain you can keep them, kid. (But hopefully he'll manage.)

And man, that bottom panel is so pretty.

Ghastly, indeed.

Re: 576

[yuuago]

Somehow I'm vaguely reminded of the song "Spectre Review"* (Go listen to it, it's terribly creepy.)

Anyway - Jesus, what a whiplash. VERY GHASTLY, WOW. Looks like there are trapped spirits, and it's... setting them free. That can't be good. D:

Goin for a late-night pokewalk with the gang

Re: 577

Yes. That's... exactly what they're doing.

/Screech

I must say though, I do so love the way Minna draws monsters.

...Still. /SCREECH

WELL that's... creepy.

Nice to get back to the rest of the cast, though.

Oh Reynir and Lalli, what do your mage eyes see?

(And Tuuri too, it seems? From the way Lalli is looking at Reynir, it's rather accusatory. :) )

"It's only an omen."

Re: 580

[yuuago]

That there omen looks like a legendary pokemon. GO CATCH IT, LALLI.

...Anyway. Wtf. Seriously, what the hell. I don't even know what to think.

Totally loving the exchange in the bottom three panels, though. Lalli's expression when Reynir grabs him, fffff....

"Do you understand 'bed' yet?"

Re: 581

[yuuago]

Apparently Lalli doesn't know "bed" yet. Or at least, not the way Sigrun says it. I wonder what vocabulary he does have.

Saw some people mention that the Omen looks more like a moose than a horse. And I see it now - it has antlers. Buuut what this means is that I have even less clue to what it might mean than I did before.

We'll see where this goes.

"I wish we had gone home already."

Re: 582

Well. That's ominous.

Lalli looks so tired. I mean, not just physically.

The two upcoming info pages will both be double page sized, so I'll skip over tomorrow to make up for it. Which means be back on Monday and Tuesday for the next updates!

Re: 583

[yuuago]

Wow. That is one nice page. ...Eerie, but nice.

Hmmm, I wonder what the info pages will be. Stuff about omens, perhaps?

Vital information for your everyday life.

Re: 584

Aww, she's so fluffy. I wanna pet a kitty. >(


I love this, tho. Nice look at the characters -- tell us how you really feel, Lalli. Emil's is....actually, nicely done? Maybe he's just not a dog person, ideekay. Of course Tuuri has adorable script and does the heart-dot thing. Holy shit, but Sigrun's makes me snort every time I look at it. And is it just me, or does her handwriting look a lot like futhark letters?

Re: 585 + Extras + Wallpaper

[yuuago]

I like Lalli's face on page 585. A lot. And Sigrun and Mikkel's... everything.

It's nice that the Mage wallpaper is available for everyone, now. I won't be getting the new one, though; not familiar with that canon.

Chapter title page!

Re: 586

[yuuago]

Well, that's creepy. Definitely a different tone from the last chapter page.

Hmm, Emil isn't there. Either he's guarding the tank, or he's gone missing....

Chapter 12 predictions

[(Anonymous)]

Insert your wild speculations here.

Re: Chapter 12 predictions

[(Anonymous)]

- A failed vaccine created the murderous ghosts.


- Whatever medication they find manufactured at the hospital is mostly useless.


- Ms. Deacon A- is able to placate the beast horse amalgam ghost thing, but it costs her "life"/afterlife/etc.


- They're going to have to wait some time for the quarantine ship to arrive. Or backtrack a very long, slow, perilous way.


- Once everyone has forgotten they have them, the runes Reynir made will actually work, kind of.

"Interesting."

Re: 588

[yuuago]

Interesting indeed.

There's something about all that collapsed barbed wire that freaks me out, eugh.

I suspect Sigrun has seen similar things before. Maybe not quite the same, but similar.

Re: 589

Wordless pages like this one are some of my favourites. Portraying narrative + mood + progression without dialogue is something Minna is pretty good at.

Ready to go?

Re: 590

[yuuago]

Sigrun, that's a terrible idea. You should know better.

I mean, it's very her, but argh.

Yes, Emil, stay behind and guard the tank, that's a good lad.

591

[(Anonymous)]

http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=591


Well, in that case.

Re: 591

[yuuago]

I love Sigrun's expression in the top panel. And Emil's hair... I just want to run my fingers through it.

Um, back on the subject -
WELL... yeah, somebody does have to stay behind and hold the fort. 's just the luck of the draw, kid.

Things are going to get freaky pretty soon.

Also, is it just me, or does the tank look like it's been... patched? In those bottom panels with Emil. :Va

Sigrun and computers really do not mix.

I wonder what kind of computer-related stuff they can do in Iceland. (If, by some miracle, they did find something in good enough condition to pull data from)

Ensi Hotakainen

[yuuago]

http://sssscomic.tumblr.com/post/150229489615/nope-its-not-lalli-drawn-as-a-middle-aged-woman

Aaaand now we know what Grandma Hotakainen looks like! And she has a name!

Deets from the tumblr description:
Nope, it’s not Lalli drawn as a middle aged woman, it is….

…Lalli’s, Tuuri’s and Onni’s grandmother, Ensi Hotakainen! Daughter of Saku and Aino Hotakainen. Depicted in her “youth”, aka not as a 90 year old. Somewhere in her 40′s, maybe?

That is Lall’s rifle, though.

I’ll probably end up drawing some relatives of the other cast members too in the coming weeks, this was fun.

Wow. That... sure doesn't look safe.

I love this page, though. Just, the way it's drawn.
