699 | Some Things

Tre’ Cool!

Now Zap opens his head up to reveal the robot brain. What a twist!

going to kill so so many characters.

Efrem knows how to stay alive; Stay in bed!

As the bolts come out, the jacket goes on, and the drumming – in a four-beat rhythm – begins to sound.

Epic on toast.

“Some things even you can’t change.” I think those are interesting words to hear. Especially after all this time it’s been building up just how powerful Zap is and how much of this he orchestrated (some of it in an accidental take a huge change kinda way). In a way it’s good to know and have someone admit that even Zap has limits.

I am so relieved to finally see those metal screws (for lack of a better word) out of his face. I winced every time I saw them in his face. Now I won’t have to wince, at least not for that. And yes. The jacket. The comfy floppy sleeve jacket.

A song of Zap and Fire?

Could you remind me what the screws were for again?! I’m drawing a blank as to when they went in and what they are o_0′

They were the hard-mounts for the “crown” Gunner bolted onto his head to control him.

My understanding of comic/written dialogue conventions makes me think Efrem…?? I’d imagine Zap would be startled if it was someone else and it’s not coloured/psychic…

…ssssoooo… I do know that those little… …lines… across his nose have always pretty much been there as a part of the art style/character design of Zap. But after all this time, with the art quality so improved and the style very evolved, the closeups, particularly in profile. begin to beg an increasingly pertinent question:

…just what ARE those lines, now? Hairs? Doesn’t seem likely. But they come from his cheek, across the nose, and jut out into space. O.o Am I the only one who is slightly puzzled by this?

Ha! Loose screws in the head. Called it!

IIRC, Pascalle said at one point they’re texture/shading sorta marks that somehow don’t make physical sense but they just work so they’ve stayed.

He doesn’t look right without them. IDK.

Gunner has them under his eyes too.

Got it.

Ah, I see what you were thinking. That’s a dream figure from part of his fragmented memory so then it was more like Zap talking to himself.
