482 | Friend of a Friend

June 28, 2010 | 12:01 am, by Pascalle Lepas

This page updated automatically while I’m AFK hanging out with friends who are in town for the weekend. Isn’t technology amazing? I am typing this message to you from the past!!

As for the page, how many of you knew it all along? :)

UPDATE: Okay. Way too many people were confused about what is going on, so I edited the page a little to make things more clear. Hope this helps!

    Zap has history with the Aquarians, before his amnesia??
    Impressive as always! :D

    Also, never done this but… FIRST

  • Nathaniemus

    I really thing that's not it, more like the monsters that have conquered aquaria seem to have psychic capabilities and are messin' with Reona's MIND!

  • Nathaniemus

    *think, how thit that G get there? They must be on to me too X__X

  • Sam Bruggeman

    I love the expression on her face in the last shot, to me she radiates confusion, anger and relief .. all at the same time, nicely done :)

  • Aileri

    If they were messing with her mind, wouldn't they have killed her when they attacked her? She should be dead already.

  • This holiday season, give the gift of a bright, shiny trapizoidal shape og psi energy! I like the shading interation with that effect.

  • TalonofElysia

    To me, I think the Aquarians can't communicate verbally… so they have to use telepathy to 'speak'. And I agree with Aileri, they'd have killed her with the water spike, after the barrier fell if they were going to take her down.

    Maybe they recognized the psionic signiture of Zap?

    Anyway, we'll find out, soon enough, can't wait for next week. :3

  • snowhummingbird

    Ou, visions of the past brought to you by your friendly local Aquarians… at least we think they are friendly for the moment.

    Ah, but why only friendly towards Reona? I have my ideas – but Yay that I get to wonder for a bit! XD

    I wondered if the cave drawing had Zap in it! xD He's wearing the same outfit from the drawing too. ^_^

    I love how you show that they are showing her something psychically. I also love the rainbow-isc look of the Aquarian's psychic ability. xD

    The one in the bottom right?

  • Chris Brady

    Why only to Reona? Not like Zap residual manifestation having anything to do with that?? Man, talk about attention span, it was only two pages ago…

  • Lenvoran

    I bet he cloned himself.
    “Hmm… That'll suck. I guess I'd better clone myself and make it so -his- life sucks instead.”

    Clones really just have a hard time, don't they?

    …Unless he cloned his future self, and then left him there to protect Reona… Gah. Confusing. I guess we just have to wait and see.

  • Nathaniemus

    Oh wait ya that totally must be that. Hah. Well now we'll just expect the Galileans. How anti-climaxing that we know they're coming. Oh well, now I'll be (reader-wisely (as to expect surprise)) TOTALLY UNGUARDED against a POSSIBLE SNEAK-ATTACK by SOME PARTY (insert *to be*) CONSIDERED ALLIES! *braces for future surprises*

  • Fadedpsychosis

    actually I think the zap reona's seeing is only a vision of zap in the past… not that zap seems to be standing in front of far more aquarians than actually just showed up… so since his psychic residue or whatever just defended her, they're basically telling her “hey, we know that guy”

  • This is correct!

    I didn't realize it wasn't apparent. Maybe I need to add even more color overlay to the mental projection panels.

  • snowhummingbird

    Bah, I know they attacked Reona too and Zap saved her. No need to be rude.

    Perhaps it was just because of Zap's promise that he would protect Reona and the Aquarians are friends of Zap's. I can wonder if there is more, can't I? ;)

  • snowhummingbird

    Yep! That's the one that I was thinking of. xD

  • CrocoGuy

    I am an absolute fan of your art and am just amazed at how far you've come since Zap started (and wish I could match your skill and style). And had to say about this one… (yes, everyone feel free to call me weird)… but those boots in panel one are damn sexy. :D

  • mirrim

    Cool! The fact that there's psychic stuff going on was apparent to me…What threw me off is that past-Zap appears to be looking in Reona's direction in panel 5. So I got theorizing that he was some sort of psychic avatar the Aquarians would use to communicate with Reona (you know, like how the aliens in Contact communicate with Jodi Foster LOL). That being said, I think that panel of Zap is super sexy. XD

  • Grail

    It seems to me that the Aquarians scanned Reona's brain and found an image of someone she knew and trusted so they created an image of zap. It might be because they wish to communicate with her and that is just the way they are able to speak to others who are not their kind.

  • Zetal911

    Urgh. Why the high heels?

  • because I like them.

  • CrocoGuy

    And because they're sexy! ;D

  • Noctros

    They really don't look like fish to me. They look more like something that would fly. Maybe that's just because I like dinosaurs too much. Thinking about it, I could see them being really agile in the water. Any chance of seeing them in a more natural habitat later?

  • NitroCerber

    omgzomgzomg that's the best webcomics I've seen in a looooong time! read straight from the beginning for the whole day and totally need MOAR!!
    I'm your huge fan! keep it up! thank you very much!

  • Shaitanpyrik

    Maybe they can smell Zap on Reona, like Demonica can.

  • *Just realized* ZAP IS THE GUY FROM THE G.E.F. WHO GOT THE AQUARIANS AGAINST HOLLY'S DAD?!?!?!? Think about it, it makes sense.

  • Shiroganekaze

    NOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOO NONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!  IF ANYONE ELSE STARTS WITH THOSE FRIGGIN NUM BERS I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL KILL YOU 100M TIMES OVER!!!!!!!(sugar rush over) sorry about that *hides in a corner takin sleeping pills*

  • OctoDude

    I don’t think you’re weird at all.  Lepas wouldn’t be a Fan O’ Fine Footwear, would she?  Nah.  Couldn’t be.  ;-]

  • Marduk

    When i take a step back i realize this has reached epic proportions in my mind. I’m seriously needing to know what happens next! Interesting as heck!

  • Negatron

    It’s hard to speak,
    When you have a beak.

    ~the above short poem is meant to explore the depth of the Aquarian condition, and the challenges of existance as a subaquatic society of psychic pterodactyls.

  • Daniel Kauwe

    yes epic proportions! i’ve been reading this for 4 days now, which is totally unheard of for me, i usually process the entirety of a series in 12 hours or so regardless of length (and at 500+ as of 12.29.11) i would have normally done that but instead i find myself stopping constantly to savor different points and then picking up again hours later.  remarkable work really…

  • It’s reading all the comments that always slows me down …

    ;)

  • TheBear

    Oh boy! You’ve gone and reminded me of Calvin and Hobbes. Now I can’t stop picturing Zap getting tackled by Naveed when he gets home from school.
