Vair unprecedented
A new story begins! Thank you for returning to the Side Projects website. If you want to read this issue in full, as a hi-res PDF, visit my Patreon.
Poor Fizz. We barely got to know this sweet dim bulb. Hopefully she and Charlotte will meet again.
I’ve just been re-reading SGR and New Bobbins, and given the number of minor characters who turned up again years later and sometimes in completely different contexts, I’m thinking Fizz’s odds are pretty good.
Most of them seem happy for Lottie, but that figure on the right looks as sad as Fizz. And then there is the Inscrutable Hipster on the far left.
Inscrutable Hipster is the name of my Neutral Milk Hotel cover band. We only do songs from On Avery island
I think his mustache needs its own line in the movie credits.
I assume he’s the villain of the piece, disguised by a wig and Groucho glasses.
Either that or Barnabas’ cousin.
Maybe he’s the coffeehouse equivalent of a sesh gremlin?
In my head, that’s how John Allison looks.
I mean, magnificent hair, but maybe he doesn’t lurk quite the same.
Poor Fizz indeed ♡. Lottie was working with really nice people, no wonder she liked that job. Let’s hope she will find nice people even in her future job.
I think Lottie’s actually on her way to college this time, and probably to reunite with Claire as well so at least one nice person is guaranteed.
Lotties shoes are huge foamy x-trainers.
That’s a nice moment at the end!
Glad to see a new Lottie story begin, but aww, what a heartbreaker. And just as we were just getting to know Fizz.
The bottom row is just exquisite!
Lottie, yes, lots of people like to see the back of you. But rarely do they want you to leave. Though, walking around a bit wouldn’t hurt.
Dude on the right has realized that the 8 months he has spent getting up the nerve to ask Lottie out is now pointless, even knowing he would never have gone through with it anyway.
He could have asked her out for a cup of coffee…
YOU NAILED IT
Probably for the best. He doesn’t look like he’s got the fortitude to take a Charlotte Grote rejection.
Or, even more terrifying, a Charlotte Grote acceptance
Is the WORLD ready for that?
Oh that particular pain of the one coworker who made your job fun leaving you in the dust…..
Fizz will turn into Dark Phoenix.
Dark Roast Phoenix.
Lottie, some may be glad to see your back, but I’m glad to see you’re back.
Aww
