I really really want to say how EXCELLENT this page is. i love the facial expressions and i almost cried… this is great. thank you aaron a for the little piece of sunshine
It wouldn’t be like Tess to make it easy for her.
I love how at the mention of making a heat bubble, people start whipping out their cameras. I make heat bubbles sometimes, but when I do it, people shout “DUDE!” and run out of the room gagging 😉
in Tess’ defense…. at least she’s *listening*. she wouldn’t be Tess if she made things *easy*, but at least she’s not making it particularly *hard*, which is pretty good for her. she must *really* miss Sera 😉
and… 11 am? i guess Charles’ watch is a little off after all 😉
& “meetoo” on the facial expressions in those middle six panel. those have got to be some of the best i’ve ever seen.
(and the cameraphone gawkers…. it may be sick, but it adds *huge* points for versimilitude!)
I think that, actually, the photo-taking people is a masterful touch.
Of course it’s cold and downright offensive, and if I was someone in that position I’d likely go into a rampage, but it just shows the way things are.
You see, a key point in Sera´s personality and outlook of the world is that she’s alone and isolated. Each magic-related incident she stars in makes the point that she can’t relate to regular people as equals, neither can regular people fully understand the burden of witchhood. Basically, Sera lives in a world, the rest of the world in another, and no part has nothing to do with each other. That’s why the flashes keep going on- to people, Sera is just a part of the landscape, her grief ain’t something they can relate to.
As for Tess…
Both girls here have a point. Tess couldn’t expect much love after yelling at her like she did for not whoring her talents and seeming more worried about money than her. On the other hand, long-standing friends deserve better than just going away, out of contact, without as much as a “see ya”.
None of them has behaved in a quite proper way, but Sera already had her tun to jump at Tess’ throat in the first encounter. It’s only fair Tess gets her.
For a really sobering but ultimately inspiring example of Jade’s and Maru-Chan’s point, I highly recommend the movie BenX, described furthur in the “movie” section of the forum under “last movie you saw”. It’s also in the FilmMovement series, http://www.filmmovement.com. be warned, it’s in Flemish with (gasp!) subtitles, but highly worth it.
nope, not gonna be easy at all.
Always loved how you did Sera’s facial expressions. Looks like she’s really gonna be a tough one to crack, that Tess.
Damn I wish I could have one of them heat bubbles… It’s freaking cold!

notice the people have their camera phones out
Man, look at all the people just taking photos of her in the last panel while she’s clearly in emotional conflict. That’s just cold.
Of course, maybe not as cold as it is in that circle.
I feel very much like Tess here.
It’s easier to apologize than to forgive.
A friend moved to another country in a short word a didn’t say goodbye or anything. And made recently connact with me after a few months.
In short words: Fuck him!!!

Awwww poor Sera.
Bad Tess! Bad!
Psh, 18 degrees. I’d be in that circle makin’ snow angels while wearing a bathing suit. Now THAT would be camera phone worthy!

I want a heat bubble! But I guess I can use my boyfriend… ^^
I love Sera’s faces… 🙂
Really need a heat bubble right now.
18 degrees Fahrenheit not Celsius. Wouldn’t parts start to fall off if you were in a bathing suit?
Pure torture waiting each week for the next page.

I never thought that Wednesday would be a day that I would look forward to on a weekly basis. Now it seems to take forever for Wednesday to get here.
I wanna have a heat bubble ): It’s friggin’ cold here.
p.s. someone needs to get that stick out of Tess’ ass before it causes major damage.
*note to self* Take picture of Aaron at next Comic-Con with camera phone.
yer cold, Chato 😉 now the question is: has your comment started an unstoppable avalanche of picturephones?!? poor Aaron!
It is not nice to attack people with cameraphones.
Cameras and phones are scary alone. Bring them both together and you have armageddon
If you refer to a linear sum of a constant-scale non-negative inter powers of a variable, then camera phones are spooky.
Veeery spooky.
