Alice is not an android. She's a Druid.

An andruid?
I just realized that Alice Grove has no shading. I thought the art looked weird since it started, but I just now figured out why. Huh. Weird.
What do you mean by shading? She doesn't look odd to me, am I missing something?I just realized that Alice Grove has no shading. I thought the art looked weird since it started, but I just now figured out why. Huh. Weird.
THAT DID NOT OCCUR TO ME. WHY DID THAT NOT OCCUR TO ME?
I just noticed his tail is up; does that mean he's happy? He doesn't look happy.He probably needs to have his tail up to shit a brick.
At least he doesn't have his hackles up and isn't hissing
alicegrove.com still takes me to the tumblr page; if everyone else is getting the real website and that's where new updates are going, somebody please tell me.
So here's the thing - why? Is it just because she's frustrated dealing with Ardent, or is it something else?
Something much more else?

No so much bored but angry and embarrassed, I think. She is doing what she should be doing, what any moral being would do, and really doesn't like the way the townsfolk treat her like a wizard or a deity.
I actually think that Ardent's face says something on the lines of "Delicate balance my ASS you motherfucker."
"Any form of technology significantly advanced enough can only be explained in the terms of magic."
That little boy worried me. His mum seemed terrified of Alice. Rumour can go a long way but Alice's dismissive reaction was disturbingly detached from a normal person's reaction to a frightened child.
Agreed. They're awestruck.That little boy worried me. His mum seemed terrified of Alice. Rumour can go a long way but Alice's dismissive reaction was disturbingly detached from a normal person's reaction to a frightened child.
I don't think frightened and terrified come into it at all. The people are in Awe. Mom is telling the boy not to bother Alice because she is an important personage. Awe can turn to frightened if awe is abused, but the people talking to her seem to like her for helping at this point. Of course, people suck and will turn on her at the drop of a hat, but there ya go. It's a fine line, I tells ya, a fine line!
So men wear long sleeves and women wear short (or in the case of Alice, no) sleeves?What about the kid in the penultimate panel?
Do I sense a slight softening of her attitude toward him in the last panel (http://www.alicegrove.com/post/102938849739/its-delightful)?
I don't know what that means.
By the way, when she speaks of the primitives, does anyone else get the feeling she means "everyone but me"?
(I don't like Ardent. I wish the story was focused on Alice more. Only my personal opinion, of course.)Alice's entire characteristic seems to be "good at falling" and "people trust her". I wonder if she likes being the most unusual person in town, which is why she's irked by Ardent.
And he comes from a culture with lots of variation in body type, but that probably includes a fair number of "standard" human females. So why wouldn't he find them attractive?
@BenRG - "on the pull"?
It appears that Ardent is human, more or less - he's been genetically modified from a standard human body plan, but still falls in genus Homo. And he comes from a culture with lots of variation in body type, but that probably includes a fair number of "standard" human females. So why wouldn't he find them attractive?It is also likely he came to this world especially because he finds the human females attractive.
Yep, Ardent is clearly the sort of tourist who is on the pull! Alice is not pleased with that at all!!
Why is Jack so afraid of her? What is it that she can do to people who get out of line?
Wait... You're not supposed to ask?
So apparently it's okay to physically assault someone for asking a question...
All hominids on this planet are non-symptomatic carriers of a permanently-disfiguring STD- it makes your tail fall off.
Ok, I just have to note that it is totally unfair to create a character that has one, notable, "really big" characteristic, then NOT SHOW US said characteristic!Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this :roll:
Question: what does the wind turbine power?
Nothing she has done is 'witchcraft'I can think of one example of this not being true, or at least possibly not true.

I find the last frame very odd. Why would miss Wheelwright need Alice's approval? It sounds very condescending. Something an adult would say to a child.

Villo, perhaps?
I think it was a way to make it absolutely clear to Ardent that what Miss Wheelwright did was OK. Because Ardent doesn't understand how out of line he was.
