I feel like Tim is smiling WAY to much in that last panel after finding out his friend attacked his … girl friend? Other friend? Someone he probably likes enough to not want them to getting attacked with a bladed weapon.
He already knew pages ago when Marcy put the scissors in his face, now he has some sort of crazy idea forming.
So Brandon, how can I find you and this comic on imgur?
there’s a link down on the lower left side of the site.
I know about that one but it’s the non updated one Brandon
Gonna follow up with a bunch of nonsense isn’t he, to lead them astray. .
The best defense is 100% truth, selectively “slanted”, but true nonetheless.
They’ll only believe the parts they WANT to believe anyway…
…meanwhile, Tim can include all the parts of the story that Craig would rather omit, the parts that cast him in a **MUCH** less-flattering light. In fact, Tim’s already off to a good start, here, with this tactic.
As for the scissors, Tim wasn’t there, & he has no clue how they got into her room…
…but now it’s become **VERY** obvious to Tim that she had no real interest in him — she was just spying on Craig’s behalf, so there’s a strong reason for him to tell her in no uncertain terms that she’s NOT welcome in his life, & they can both just leave him out of their wild theories.
Not so sure Marcy was just spying for Craig. I think she’s picked Tim as her new “pet”. She’s apparently popular, dated the “jocks” in the past, and is a cheerleader. Maybe she was intrigued by Craig’s stories or maybe she just wanted a change of pace in her next conquest and Tim as the oddball took her interest. She seems like she’s used to getting her way and what she wants and has at least Craig helping her achieve it by trying to restrain Tim in last couple panels so she can question him. I believe this arc started by suggesting Marcy was the “push” that starts the move of Tim and Shadow out of the comfortable but incomplete relationship they had at that time towards their current relationship. This is all a flashback of sorts I think since we knot Tim and Shadow are together in the future. That is just my take on things. As for Tim I think he may be starting to not worry about being normal. He is definitely up to something.
Marcy isn’t spying for Craig, she legitimately likes Tim and needs his help studying. She just happens to be aware that Craig has this dumb old story he tells because he got beat up by a girl. haha
@[Brandon]:
I actually think so too, but **ACCUSING** her of being Craig’s spy gives Tim 2 advantages:
— It puts her on the defensive. Also, if she believes that Tim thinks of her as Craig’s spy then she might be too annoyed by Tim’s (perceived) stupidity to desire him any more.
— It sounds like a reason that **SHE** can understand (& reluctantly accept), for why he doesn’t want to be her next ‘conquest’. That way, he doesn’t need to involve Shadow as somebody who he’s already seeing. If the issue was one of “Another_Woman” (which it actually is), then Marcy might respond to this as a ‘challenge’ for her to overcome, & then she’d try even harder. By framing this as an issue of “Broken_Trust”, Tim can keep her at arm’s length in a way that she can (unhappily) accept.
Meanwhile, if she’s still going to get study-help from Tim, then she’ll have to settle for “neutral ground”, such as in the library. Tim can use this CLAIM of distrusting her as an ironclad reason to avoid anybody’s bedroom.
Which will also keep his own bedroom clear for any further visits by Shadow.
Given her dream when Shadow was there, it looks like it is genuine interest.
Tim you look very cocky. Maybe a bit too cocky. But remember guys, vote for Patrick Willis.
For the moment, this page doesn’t say much about Shadow and yes he is smiling way too much… Bizarre, really bizarre.
(uhmm pensive), because I feel that tim will say something very for the next page.
Wait, Tim’s hiving iut WAAY too much information. It seems like Shadow. Maybe?
If she has shapeshifting which I doubt tho.
she does, that’s how she disguised as human, she returned the book but Ruth was going to teach her, the downside i see it’s that she should be busy in the funeral, but i can believe that is not tim bc remember he left the house late so someone might actually be impersonating him
Tim, what are you doing? Just play dumb even more! Or at least sound sarcastic!
No one will believe them.
I hate the waiting i love this comic please make more
tim tim tim, what are you doing I’m calculating hundreds of possibilities that something will speak either for what follows or lie and put evidence that your night friend is not a monster but something, something that I can’t even guess.
“and if I ever hear your name again; I swear I’ll hunt you down!”
“I’ve got your scent now!”
“I’ll find you!”
“I’ll make you disappear, Craig!”
Please make her follow up on those words, this Craig is asking for it.
Or at least to some extend.
Haha, we may very well see it come up at some point!
Great page Brandon Tim’s acting as cool as ever and now has revealed that yes in fact he does have a monster for a friend.
I’m getting flashbacks to the time Klark Kent straight up told Lois Lane that he’s actually Superman and the only reason he works at The Bugle is to get leads on disasters as they happen. Said it with such a straight face that Lois convinced herself that he was bullshitting her.
tim: she is … my friend
Marcy: what is her name
tim: his name is … ah
Craig: come on tell him the truth don’t lie tim.
tim: ok her name is (here you can put the name you want to give her), she and I are good friends
marcy: yes and where can I find it
tim: why and why
marcy: I want to talk to her personally
tim: well I don’t know where she lives she comes to see me every night through my window.
Craig grabs it threateningly: listen to me well as everything you said is a lie I swear you will pay dearly.
tim answers seriously: well I’m not afraid of you anymore.
Craig drops it and leaves with marcy.
while in the thoughts that no one can see or hear from tim: fiuuuuhh was close, well the time is about to end it will be better if I get home quickly and talk seriously with Shadow
While marcy talks to Craig: I have a plan, tonight you will help me see Tim’s friend.
while a similar agent from the 216 with devices appears in the distance and says: Colonel it seems that we found him.
keep going…
Well, I hope this is taken into account, I imagine that it can give for about 2 or 3 pages since all the sentences would not fit into one, but well this is a theory that hoped to happen and the truth is that it would be fine just that it would take a long time though well I hope you like the words and conversation that I put and I hope it will be taken into account perhaps for the pages.
