When a webcomic updates but you don't want to make a huge deal out of it, what you do - Page 11

Um. Holy shit, Byron. Didn't even take the spear out of your chest before impaling the guy on it.

I think Ms. Jones might be Odin's removed eye.

Edit: Apparently Ra has a missing eye too though....

That's
an interestingly possible connection actually.

Yeah, she could also be Sekhmet/Hathor (never knew she came from Ra's eye), but I don't think either really fits her character. Plus she doesn't really seem like a full blown goddess to me.

I think early in the comic Annie said she wouldn't see her father for another two years (I'm having trouble finding the exact page.) So has two elapsed? I think the end of her stay in the forest would be two years so we can expect to see Anthony soon.

Edit: Or I'm crazy. I swear I saw a page like that although I can't find it at all!

BitVyper · 01-11-2011, 12:22 PM

You did. She narrates it in the summer she spends alone there. She says "it would be over two years before I saw him again" or something to that effect.

Probably Odin's eye, he's been referenced already.

BitVyper · 01-12-2011, 12:03 AM

Yeah, but so has the Egyptian pantheon. Anyway, I'd be more inclined to go the Odin route too. The "Wandering" part especially makes me think of Odin.

Of course, Ra's OTHER eye is the sun sometimes, and she DID glow brightly from that wound Eglamore inflicted.

She does have some sun god-like characteristics, being extremely logical and reasoned and shit. And while Odin wanders a lot, his eye stays firmly in place. . .

BitVyper · 01-12-2011, 08:58 AM

Yeah, but Sekhmet and Hathor AREN'T extremely logical and reasoned. And I have an easier time with the possibility that Odin's eye is up and about than I do with the chance that Ms. Jones is THE SUN in human form.

But all of the above are still possibilities as I see it. She just strikes me as Odinic.
