CALLBACKS: We Want Wizards
Some of you may recognize this strip, as it was leaked prematurely. The world was not ready. But now, it is ready.
It is ready for Susan.
Sup, everybody. Meet Susan.

CALLBACKS: We Want Wizards
Some of you may recognize this strip, as it was leaked prematurely. The world was not ready. But now, it is ready.
It is ready for Susan.
Sup, everybody. Meet Susan.
I’m ready
Does Howard have and Deaf Upon Inception-Reversing spells?
You get three guesses.
The first two don’t count.
Reversing sounds dangerous, Susan may go blind. Better leave her be.
I like how her glasses were formed before anything else.
I would not put it past Jackson to visit Rob Kelk’s meganekko fetish site, yes.
How did I never hear of this before? This is amazing. I cannot believe the library closes at 9.
this comic reminded me of this: http://thesketchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/20111117-thanart-thursday-selin-1.png
Word up.
I’m afraid that I have a refrigerator thought about the strip (it’s the thought which occurs when you visit the refrigerator and think, “This was soo cool… But wait a moment… Didn’t the Princess have both magic rings? So, how was Shinku able to use Palladion?”).
In this case, firstly Jackson addresses Susan. Why is he doing that if he knows that she’s deaf? Either
1. she’s not yet deaf but goes deaf by frame 3
2. he speaks out of habit
3. some other reason, like Jackson breaking 4th wall and talking for the benefit of the reader, or being a huge jackass on purpose
In frame 3 Susan attempts to use her hearing, which means that she knows the concept instinctively and perhaps does not yet realize what Jackson had done to her. I think it supports the hypothesis 1, which is going to be a bit tough on her psychologically.
A reader on Google+ had his own fridge moment when he asked: “Can’t you just abracadabra her hearing back?” Without giving too much away, I think these fridge questions can shed a little light on each other, much like that light that comes on when you open the fridge.
Why do you think he knows that she is deaf?
I think Jackson is surprised in panel three as he realizes that she is deaf.
You know, I’m glad Susan is back, despite all the trauma she implies.
Jackson becomes the Omniscient Narrator in frame 3.
Omniscient? Dwight’s theory, if correct, would seem to suggest otherwise. 😉
