ONE:
On SABRE, her hair whipping from the speed of their descent, now a dive, soon to be a glide. She’s moved to one of the POSTS, wrapping her hands around it.
She is trying not to be gleeful. Relief doesn’t cover it.
1. SABRE: Mister Coffey, wait ’til you feel the bite…
TWO:
New angle, COFFEY has joined her at the second POST, and now both of them are heaving back, trying to pull Pegasus out of her dive.
2. SABRE: …and pull—
THREE:
WEST reaching in behind COFFEY and SABRE respectively, one hand on each POST, pulling with them.
ALL of them are exerting themselves. There’s a lot of ship, and a lot more gravity to fight.
3. SABRE: —pull, PULL you magnificent wench—
4. SABRE: —my featherwood beauty, yield you glory—
AAAACCCKKK!!! My archive binge has ended! Now I have to wait for NEXT W E E K ????
That’s truly tragic, but now you’re one of us …The mindless hordes waiting for the next installment.
Sabre does not take no for an answer!
Great attention to detail in the last panel, re: bullet holes in the wood.
That reminds me if there’s gravity in the Aether, what mass is “generating” it? Also does anybody falling in the Aether ever “hit bottom”?
See the comments in this post.
Thanks. I saw that strip but didn’t read all the comments. [Embarrassed Grin]
Who cares? It is an outer space flying sailing ship. Where are their space suits? I’m more concerned about the lack of smoke coming from the Mr. Bull’s boiler, or the missing ‘r’ in the last speech balloon of today’s page. Those details seem to be missing from the established narrative. …Of course, throw all that garbage in the trash and let it ride. That’s what Sabre does.
Well Bill, a “but there’s no rules so anything can happen” universe is IMO poor writing.
I like knowing what rules exist in this “universe”.
But yes, this isn’t “our universe” so the rules are different.
Dr. Bill is in the house. You have an acute case of Startrekification. That is a new disease. I just invented it. But, all the credit goes to… our Lady.
Stay reading, my friend.
“Yield you glory”
Should that be “yield your glory” ?
Nope.”Yield you glory…” she’s speaking to the ship.
I said similar things once when my power steering went out while descending a curvy mountain highway. “Glory” wasn’t my choice of words, but this is a family comic….
Might be a bit more understandable with a comma after the word ‘yield.’ I.e. “Yield, you glory!” (kind of like “come here, you sweet thing!”)
It would, indeed. I was messing around with cadence and trying to control how the speech was read.
The ship is a glory of a wench who won’t be moved by the hands of mere mortals. Ah, but these are no MERE mortals. This is Lady Sabre, Messers. West and Coffey. They are not to be denied.
scoundrel’s luck that is move Lady Saber and her ship did to Iron Crown .So next page will give us something cool
