The thing that bugs me about this page is a sort of technical inaccuracy. I imagine that Cricket is physically stronger than Ollie and it's already been shown that she can pick up Creature fairly easily– Yet here Ollie and Creature can hold her back somehow? Maybe they're enough to slow her down? —————————————————————- replies: @Warped: Ha! With my weird updating schedule it was bound to happen. @oldguy: Hey, everyone loves fire! Including old ladies I guess? @Jonko: Indeed, that'll bring violent tendencies out in anyone. @Peipei: Dart really should be thankful that Ollie's around. Cricket is pissed! @usedbooks: In this case it's hard to say if Ollie can explain the situation more fully or if he just isn't keen on his friend running inside of a burning building. I'm glad somebody noticed Cricket's drawings of bugs on her wall, it really makes my day when people pick up on those tiny details. @that kid yellow: Thanks! @R Cain: Well, those questions will get answers eventually. @amanda: No, Cricket doesn't know that Dart and Higgins are related. Needless to say, that wouldn't improve her opinion of him. "I'll kill you!" is just the most believable line I could come up with within the confines of "PG-rated swearing." @Zephyrion: Thanks! @Trevor: Emerald City seems pretty cool, if I did go it would be my first "big con," I've mostly been to smaller cons and bookfairs in Portland like Stumptown Comics Fest. @khard12: Maaybe… @JNP: Cricket's spent a good part of the comic near breaking point, this may actually be too much for her. @darkwaterfey: Whoa! Thanks! I didn't think you read this too! I love Katmandi by the way. @Steely Gaze: What Madeline is capable of remains to be seen. I had fun with those facial expressions too. I'm on a bit of a teeth-drawing kick, can you tell?
I'm still getting suspicious vibes from Dart, but I guess he'd already have trapped her if this had been a trap. Your attention to detail is amazing! I just noticed Cricket and Dart have bags under their eyes, but Ollie doesn't because he hasn't been stressing out very much. That's some subtle characterization, right there. Awesome.

After all Cricket's been through, I doubt she'd have the strength to struggle overly much with Ollie. I mean, it's been one nasty night for her, what with all the stress of Higgins interrogating her and everything. I would doubt that even the fury and adrenalin from fear for her grandmother could have given her enough of an edge on this night.
This page is another example of extraordinary expressions. The emotions carry over really well. Your lettering helps that as well, especially in panels 1 and 3.
She trusts and cares about Ollie and Creature, so maybe she just doesn't put much of a fight because of it. It's not like they will do anything to her.
Keeping the swearing on pg-levels is such a problem! I totally sympathize with that XD
Maybe their combined adrenaline is enough to hold her. I mean… she has to be tired and worn down after the interrogation and running to gram's… oh and fighting cops, getting slammed into walls, running, more running…. yeah, probably wouldn't take much at this point!
I'm hoping to do something similar in the Chicago area, since there are so many cons here. It isn't much cheaper to go to the smaller cons, though, I've noticed.
Cricket probably subconsciously knew that things were actually okay once she saw Ollie not freaking out - could be that this is why he and Creature could hold her back from beating on Dart a bit. He's actually being somewhat nice (in his gruff, bitter way) right now. Or MAYBE the address out of town is Higgin's place, and there is a trap all laid out for her. Then Higgins will put her to work as a scullery maid! ONOZ.
They're not gonna give Cricket a better explanation than 'its probably best that you don't know?' o.o Yea, i'd be ready to rip some organs out as well with a response like that xD.

You have to remember that Cricket is tired from all that been going on. Tired people are easier to restrain.

I think it's be best if *he* didn't know. -_-
Ollie's cute. I can't tell if he's holding her back or hiding behind her. XD

I hope they're just trying to help her…

Hmm. I wonder will she leave so easily.
