Dare You Take That Chance??? (7/9/12)

Well now we know Julie is sticking around and Jesse has since been reinstated. It also looks like Baxter and Di have something going on which is probably a disappointment to anyone shipping him and Hilda.

Only 2 more installments to see what all has happened in the last month.

Have I mentioned that I love Fitzdragon so much? Because I do.

Hey look, Rico's back!

I wonder if he's grown up...at all.

Hilda and Rico? I don’t know about that. So why is she looking at him? And is this timeline going to have a grown Julie but no baby Julie to produce her? I’d be okay with that, even though it’s an unlikely event even as time travel goes. It’d be a nice little counterpart to Will and his skull.
And if I die today, I'll be a happy phantom.

Hilda ain't lookin' at Rico, she's looking at the problem. Remember who Hilda is, remember she solves New York Times Sunday puzzles to relax. She's thinking "I am going to kick this problem's ass."

There's no reason to think there won't be a baby Julie in this timeline: they were working on one before and have no reason to stop. They lost some resources when they lost their headquarters, but that much happened in both timelines, and they have more now than they did in the world where the Hand won. However, that world is gone. The boy who would have been Joseph Oberf will now grow up as Mark Oberf, and he will have a very different life than Joseph did, in many different ways. The future will be altogether different than what Julie has grown up facing.

There is something in the first panel that will give me nightmares for the rest of the week.

That is all I will say.

Hey, if YOU were turned into a dragon (assuming an environment where you wouldn't get knights or equivalent trying to gut you regularly), wouldn't you love every minute of it? :D

Is it Rico's hair being the Strategically Placed Object to cover Fitzdragon's groin?

Consider its shape.
