Comic Discussion > ALICE GROVE
Alice Grove MCDLT - March 2016
Morituri:
So what happens when he asks Sedna if she wants to fuck?
BenRG:
There is a very real possibility that she might shrug and say 'Why not?' However, I do think it will be the first time Ardent has been the one screwed and then waking up alone in bed with a note saying: "Thanks, sweetie but be real and don't try for a follow-up!"
Skewbrow:
Hmm. That scenario is a cause for concern. I don't think Ardent would know of the need to check for ice picks under the bed (or whatever she might use instead).
BenRG:
New comic!
I just can't get over how good Jeph is at implying so much and giving so much background with a few strokes of a very broad brush. We've learnt almost as much about Alice in this strip as we have learned for the rest of the strip to date:
* Whatever happened between Alice and Sedna happened ~300 years back;
* It seems likely that Alice was somehow in the causitive chain of The Blink and she's never forgiven herself... not even five millennia later;
* Sedna didn't hesitate to let a woman whom she claims to hate sleep beside her; is that the result of bittersweet memories? As Jeph says in his endnote - They have a weird relationship!Sedna's earlier denial to Ardent aside, I'm taking panel 4 in this strip as proving that she and Alice have some kind of common origin.
Zebediah:
Alice is sleeping in her armor. That implies something about her relationship with Sedna right there.
That, or the armor disintegrated her clothes when it, uh, apparated? manifested? materialized? Whatever it did.
