Just like, on the previous page, he had no problem mentioning Shelley’s sister once she said she had a sister. I suspect he only has the problem if he’s trying to convey something he couldn’t possibly know without having come from the future. Once she says it, that’s no longer true.
So Jack can acknowledge that he knows Shelley, after she’s introduced herself. He can say that he knows her sister, after she’s mentioned that she has a sister. But he can’t say or write her name, until Shelley says it, and then he can use it freely.
I bet you wouldn’t call Erin a yo lolo ho-do to her face, Jack. Even when she’s seven.
Side effects may include:
– hemorrhaging non-diegetic and diegetic black captions
– nearly broken light bulbs
– a bit of a mess
– chronic goo loo norby glip glip vub
– acute goo loo norby glip glip vub
– shirt stains
Kinda rude calling someone a Yo lolo ho-do in front of her sister. But probably Jack was still confused from the big effort. Nice to see that he managed to convince Shelley a bit.
Every time you end a series, I’m sad because I know I’ll miss the characters. But this version of Jack is wonderful, and just reminds me that as much as I miss the old characters, you’re going to bring me new (or old) characters to love.
Of the many things I am already enjoying about this comic, the perfect 90s detail of Shelley’s lipstick color may be tops. I definitely had that exact shade of dusty mulberry.
That’s the most terrifying “And so” I have ever seen.
Huh, he has no problem saying it once Shelley’s said it?

He DID in fact manage to write her name before Shelley said it, though. It was extremely difficult, but he did it.
Well, yes, but it made him pass out and hemorrhage black diegetic captions, so I wouldn’t exactly call it practical.
actually, they’re presumably non-diegetic, unless Shelley can see them too.
Well they’d be mirror writing and blobby so a good chance she wouldn’t recognise these, um, hideous black floating gloops as letters.
Are we assuming she can’t?

Assuming Shelley didn’t write it there just to assuage him.
This is my guess, as well. But we may never know!
I wouldn’t call anyone a “yo lolo ho-do” until I found out what it MEANT.
I’m not sure, but I think it’s Huttese, and I don’t think you can say anything polite in Huttese.

It’s good to se that Shelley’s already developing the skills she’ll need to handle the kind of experiences she’ll have later in her life.
No one ever said that Tackleford was boring and normal before Bobbins
For the first… three quarters or so of Bobbins, there really wasn’t anything supernatural or the like going on, though.
The first space aliens appeared a month into BobbIns. Shelley took them completely in stride.
I’ve periodically tried to locate the original Bobbins archives. No luck as of yet. 😐

Xaktar and Gimblaar. Even I’d forgotten about them. Now THAT is a deep lore cut.
If you howl into the void long enough, does it howl back?
And how many albums did Howlin’ Void record?

Thanks Bethany. I had a great time writing Jack again.
I suppose wiping a bloody nose makes a change from wiping a pooey bum.

Tackleford’s answer to Phillip Jeffries, tossed thru time and spouting gibberish – poor Jack.
God willing he will not be transformed into a big kettle with numbers coming out of it.
Or a horse!
That Jack – he is always a hit with the ladies.
Oh I get it. He’s time traveling, right? Was that something we knew and I just missed?
Well, we know Jack as a kid and teenager, but in a later era, so it’s assumed that time travel is to blame.
Fortunately Jack passed out when he did, and didn’t end up writing “Erin go bragh” or something similar.
Hoping she’s all Conner to his Reese and egging him on a bit before escaping this obvious lunatic.
