I don’t like guns.
I don’t like drawing guns in cartoons. But sometimes in an adventure comic
strip set in the 1920s, between two significant wars, people have guns.
But you’ll notice,
no one has died in “Slipped” from being shot by a gun. In fact, not one
character seems actually to have died at all.
The guy in the
first chapters — unnamed in the strip but I think he went by Etienne — was
killed, but then when the Scarlet Sparrow retraced her timeline, she and her
sister, Mendacity, saved him.
And while Dickie
Talbot was left to be buried alive, along with the Golem, it’s in the cards for
the Scarlet Sparrow to get back to them, too.
Oh, wait, I just
recalled those two “Vampires” who accidentally died while attempting to do damage to part of
le Metro to stop les Rongeur. Hmmm ….
It’s hard to keep
track of almost eight years of continuous weekly comic strips.
In any case, next week sees the Scarlet Sparrow, Cartier Tour and Pip catapulted into their new adventure. Please stand by.
