I became very fond of Bea while writing and drawing this chapter. She’s a perfect mystery friend. Well, almost perfect.
Perfect. Until she’s not.
Bee might be on a wrong’n here. I fear there might be less to these ski lads than she suspects.
Sorry to disappoint you, but we already have spoilers about this: https://badmachinery.com/comic/these-are-some-lovely-memories/
The description of the accent just makes me deeply amused by the accent of a dude I heard once that was just… well he sounds just straight up American. But he’s portuguese and living in the Netherlands.
Not… CIGARETTES?! No, Bea! Don’t do it! It’s the PERILOUS FIRST STEP OF YOUR FALL
Do it, Bea. DO IT!!!
Oh yeah, coming from an Italian, of course you would say that!
In my defence, I only smoke the pipe. I never liked the taste of Cigarettes.
I too love tobacco because of the pipe, and forget often how nasty cigarettes cane be.
I notice that Bea’s ‘friend’ is to her right (our left) in the first panel. That’s presumably who she’s talking to.
Good catch
Ahh… the sweet refreshing taste of Morley.
She’s trying to get close to them so she can guess their next move? They already know her as “Bee” so she’s almost there…?
Bold of her to cozy up to the suspects.
Bea’s a right good laugh once you get to know her.
It’s gonna make the contrast of whatever she’s going to do in part 4 all the more tragic
Meant to say Beate
I’m afraid they will have a very bad effect on Bea.
She will be infected by their nihilism and develop a cigarette addiction, which would explain the nicotine patch seen in the last chapter.
And she’ll potentially go off with them to Los Angeles and get involved in the faux kidnapping of a multi-millionaire’s trophy wife.
So, instead of losing a finger, she lost her face… Oh no! It makes sense!!!
Morley. Is Beate going to become “The Cigarette Smoking Woman”?
Chekhov’s scream!
Warning Bea! Don’t let them cut off your toe! The nihilist’s scheme isn’t worth our little piggy!
It certainly wasn’t worth Aimee Mann’s little piggy.
Yah! Ve believe in nothing! Nothing!
Except lingonberry pancakes
I love Beate’s face at the end!
Why would nihilists wear goggles? And gloves?
Just because nothing matters, doesn’t mean that fashion doesn’t matter.
Or something.
Why not?
I did think the fact that Klaus eschews all safety gear (and acknowledging Bea) must make him the most nihilist among nihilists.
Are you suggesting that people’s philosophies might be incomplete or contradictory?
Why I never sir
I did think the fact that Klaus eschews all safety gear (and acknowledging Bea) must make him the most nihilist among nihilists.
‘…these men are nihilists, there’s nothing to be afraid of’
Ja. All of life is a black run.
“Nihilists! **** me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.”
Does Aldo’s ski jacket imply that he’s against nothing?
No, he’s just a fan of threaded fasteners.
It’s in keeping with his ZERO shirt.
Love the Jubilee look on Uli.
Carefully chosen evocative colour scheme!
I’m expecting there to be fireworks.
No, Donny, these men are nihilists, there’s nothing to be afraid of.
Is this the same recyclable storyline as Point Break, The Fast & The Furious, and that Thomas The Tank Engine episode?
Or is your imagination just severely limited?
Poor kid. Coulda been a perfect mystery friend… if she could get over the madness that is Lottie and Claire’s methods. But no… this is a villain origin story.
“Ice in the blood”? “Isvand i blodet!” is out of world literature. What a quote.
For a moment, I thought they were “Neilists”. One small step, and all…
