Chapter: Fight and Flight
Location: Lusitania
Guys, let’s not forget the commentathon (commenthon? Commentsthathon) is on until November 1st!!
What is the commentathon, you ask? Very simple: O Sarilho is turning nine years old on November first! That’s right, this comic here, in this website, has been going on for nine whole years! To celebrate, I will be awarding readers with the ability to decide what my next comic art is going to be. It’ll be like a raffle: the more comments you leave on the comic – provided they’re not spammy! – the more changes you get to be the lucky commenter I will randomly pick on November first! 😊 And then you get a say on art!
↓ Transcript
4 Panels.
Panel 1: Miguel softly pushes Angela away from him.
Miguel (thoughts): Angela, you don't need to console me with your body.
Panel 2: Angela angrily pulls at her shirt, exposing part of her chest. She shouts.
Angela: It's YOUR body.
Panel 3: Angela, alone, realizing this is not working the way she thought it would. She's still holding her shirt, but looking away in embarrassed shock.
Miguel (off panel): No.
Panel 4: Miguel goes back to methodically buttoning her shirt. She looks down, lost and embarrassed.
Angela: I don't- I don't know what I'm doing, Miguel...

oh wow, literally I comment in the previous page and this one drops lol
NO NO WHAT OH GOD Angela my girl oh God she deserves a hug waowswsaosdcfgdes
Yeah, I think she needed the consolation of a hug and kiss herself most of all – but as much as Miguel hasn’t inherited the usual straight male instinct for a response from Mikhail, he still responds with much more empathy than he would have earlier, it seems. Which is probably even better in this situation!
Yeah, I agree. It pains me to think she has had to use this.. precarious method in the past (and may have worked), though…
why is it sending double im going to dig a whole and die 23 times in a row
Cursed moments…. 👻
fuck why did it send a double message no wdfgbn bgfd soryr srory sorry sorry sorry
removed the doubled 🫡
tysmmmmmm 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Possibly a minor typo in the transcript: It should probably say:
“Angela, alone, realizing this is not working the way she thought it would.”
Yeah, that transcription part felt weird (and/or self-dismissive) but maybe she’s insecure and thinks her small chest won’t woo a man (or rather a “cosmic AI entity dressed as a man”, but she might be missing this detail) – she has a “magically induced depression” after all.
Can’t blame her, really, even without her own previous life background, having a day job of turning fallen enemy soldiers into dirigible zombies by psychically re-animating them can’t be all that good for one’s mental sanity!
And then one of those turning out to be already possessed by an alien(?) AI fragment and her springing him from captivity on a crazy-seeming mission to re-unite him with his other mind fragments is a really tall order – it is actually remarkable how stable Angela still is even now under these bonkers circumstances!
(Fixed, thanks!)
Me neither, Angie.
