Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT Strips 3411 to 3415 (6th to 10th February 2017)
Caleb:
Well mystery solved then.
Emily clearly is using an original NES controller (or 3rd party NES controller) rather than the NES Classic Edition controller.
As we have seen from previous panels Emily is pretty tall and if she was using an extension cable for the NES Classic Edition then we would see if in today's panel.
I am glad that finally got wrapped up.
A small perverse otter:
I don't think this comic ties up the loose ends. It only ties up four of the unimportant ones: what happens to the two minor characters who played a role in the robot fighting ring, CW, Officer Basilisk, and Emily.
It kind of left out the resolutions for two of the characters involved in the story: Faye and Bubbles. The two characters around whom the whole arc revolved. The two characters who saw significant character development. The two people who genuinely lost their jobs, and have to face the consequences of that. How are they going to pay the rent? What are they going to do with their lives? How is their relationship going to evolve? We've seen Faye act as support for Bubbles -- does that change her self-image? There are a lot of loose ends here
heyjames4:
One thing I've enjoyed about the discourse on this arc is how the discussion has used so many different names for Them, and all of them make perfect sense.

At a guess those are more in the way of significant future plot threads than loose ends - and, I submit, rightly so.

Notice how the piece isn't even on the knitting needles. And although there is a valid knitting style that does involve needles pointing down like that, which is called 'Parlour Style', it is freaky rare. I've only seen one photo of actual Parlour style knitting, and I have never found video of the technique.
The reason I'm disappointed by the depiction of knitting in today's strip is because the depiction of knitting hands in strip #2904 is absolutely fucking perfect.

She's a cop and an unknown humanoid has just appeared out of nowhere in her living room. She's re-positioned her needles so she can go for the eyes if the intruder gets too close and buy herself time to lunge for her pistol. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, stabbing Spook in the eyes wouldn't do any good even if she could manage it, but she doesn't know how close to omnipotent they is, and none of her programming, training or speculation has prepared her for an encounter with androgynous demigod. It's a reasonable punt.)
