Escalation
Authors' Notes:
Aaaand we're back to our regular publication schedule (in full colour, too!). [EDIT: shading was added later.] This confrontation is the result of Joel's particular talent for raising the ridiculous-factor to an story (or, indeed, to any tabletop roleplaying game situation... as any player or game master who has had the chance to play with him knows). Also, I do believe this is the first page (at least since that first wide shot of the Montreal nightscape) which features none of our "main 4". My, I wonder how Ellan will resolve this situation... Tune in next week to find out!
