Comic Discussion > ALICE GROVE
Alice Grove MCDT - June 2015
BenRG:
It doesn't have to be recent for the dogma that 'tek-know-ledge-ee is bad' to be passed on from parent to child for scores of generations, even long after it has ceased to have any comprehensible meaning to the hearer.
Neko_Ali:
I find it interesting that Alice led the siblings to Amos. Despite his protests that she never 'just visits' I think he is the closest thing she has to a friend, and that's why he gets leeway when talking about her. Something she's not very comfortable with. It seems Alice has already found the pain of being the only immortal around. She craves companionship and friendship. But all the same she pushes people away and keeps them at arms length because she knows that in a few decades they will be gone while she remains.

Fear: Yes, to an extent. Hate: No, I don't think so; recall this scene:

Also, Amos certainly doesn't seem to hate Alice.
I'm still hoping for Alice not to be a robot; somehow the story appeals to me much more if she is human.
RE: Glacial pace: Alice Grove now has 71 pages. Look where QC was at 71 pages:

That is not too far advanced in the story right? Ok, definitely further than AG; Pintsize already has a new chassis and QC also got the point really quickly, with Faye moving in with Marten within 20 strips or so. But what I mean is that it's pretty easy to forget how slowly comics can start off.
ReindeerFlotilla:
There's something very "white privilege-ish" in the obliviousness Amos displays, lecturing a blue boy and his antigrav sister on how their chaperone/jailer is "unnatural."
Method of Madness:
Amos is old enough to think he remembers "how things were," but Alice is actually old enough to know that change is inevitable.
