I'm glad that our friendly psycho-cannibal-rapist-freakazoids are eco friendly.

In all seriousness, loved this piece. What I like about Crossed is it brings those raw elements up to the surface, for good or ill. Skip has issues with abandoning his brother, but laughed at being alive, at escaping the trap with his family. That's real. Ugly, but real.

Also, you said in a recent interview Si how there was a possibility of exploring the Crossed world 10-20 years down the line. Would love to see that....Or not?

One final question: Given that there were some nuclear exchanges in the chaos and widespread burning of cities, given that all the mechanisms that needed human oversight have broken down, how does the environment look around this time of the story?]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10890&Focus=343103#Comment_343103 2012-11-01T10:25:14-07:00 2013-05-18T22:05:34-07:00 mister hex http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=4411

I reckon Skippy's brother will turn out to be the "Typhoid Mary" who's been spreading all the filthiness and depravity we've been seeing here and there in this (otherwise, quite pleasant) ...

The only thing that niggles away in the back of my head now, (and it's been growing incrementally since issue#1)
is how the buggery fuck did "Mammy's little Soldier" manage to get nuts deep in that bloody Dolphin's snotbox?

They're big, powerful animals, and I can't see how that poignant embrace of wrongcocked sexdeath could possibly have developed without (initially, at least) the implicit sexual consent of the Dolphin.

I've run through the possible scenarios in my pool head over and over again, and the sexualistic invasionment of a fully mature Cetacean's blowhole, is impossible. You can't just creep up on the fuckers, swoop in like Savile, then just ring them a Cab afterwards.

So unless you explain how it happened Si, you leave us all with the supposition that, far from being the intelligent, evolved, and self aware creatures that we've for so long, credited as having a capacity for intellect almost as great as our own, that Dolphins are no more than the huge, slutty fishes our Great Grandfathers always said they were.

I'm not sure if I can drag the soggy envelope of mammalian sexual credibility quite that far. . . . . . . . .

I own and have read (several times) the Crossed: Wish You Were Here trade paperback, and found the art more condensed and darker than it appears via the web comic on my now modest 19" widescreen ...

I love Skip's background story, and am looking forward to seeing how the other members of this sortie, as well as the other current and former survivors on Cava, made it through the outbreak and to the island. Shakey's flashbacks to London, starting in episode 2 of volume 1, remain for me the highlight of not only this web comic but of all Crossed stories that have been published so far.
Jackson's an interesting action hero, not just because of his insanity-spawned courage but also due to his unabashed deviant proclivity for sheep. The latest episode suggests that the sortie would have failed in a most gruesome manner had he not volunteered to tag along for at least a part of it. Of course, if or when he gets infected, then the at least slight security afforded by the island's isolation will evaporate given his cunning and survival skills. He would surely be one of those superior crossed at a Horsecock level of leadership (despite his lone wolf nature) and intelligence.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10890&Focus=343125#Comment_343125 2012-11-01T13:13:20-07:00 2013-05-18T22:05:34-07:00 manwithastick http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=10626
