A moot point now, but the look Ellie gives Lurch before she answers Pate is interesting. It's hard to know if she's afraid of him or wary. She didn't seem to want to offer up the info that there were visitors to the site, but that look she gives Lurch makes me think that possibly she withheld info, maybe inadvertently, once before and there were reprisals.

At any rate, do we know is a higher-level of being than Sedna? She doesn't say Lurch is "my level bad news" she says "our level." Sedna also seemed amazed that Alice wanted to run when there were two of them and one Lurch.

I don't think that Lurch is pulling the strings. This is seeming more and more to me like a Star Trek episode where a deadly probe that was corrupted during its time in space didn't destroy the Enterprise because Kirk had a similar name to its creator and he was able to control it until they were able to figure out how to neutralize it when it inevitably got wise. I think Lurch might actually be an imperfect form of Alice (and Sedna) who were utilized as canon fodder during the wars because they were expendable, but strong, ruthless and utterly without conscience. Post-Blink, that sort of being would be very, very dangerous. It's possible Lurch was created or programmed by a Pate ancestor or someone he believes to have been one. It's also possible that Lurch might think Pate is his creator and he must obey him.

Method of Madness:
I think "our level" just meant "god-level", even if there are various levels of gods.

Do you have any reason for calling Church "Lurch", or do you simply prefer not to use the name that his creator bestowed on him and which everyone else uses?  (And does this relate to your appearing to query the name "Corpse Witch" in the other comic?)

Method of Madness:
It's close enough and we all know what they mean, what's the issue? Plus Church is his last name, for all we know his name could be Lurch Church.

And Corpse Witch hasn't been confirmed in comic ;)

Zebediah:
Unless you count the title of the strip where she was introduced: "Her name is CORPSE WITCH"

If that's not canon enough for you I don't know what is.
