Awww, San didn’t bury his hatchet in Brisa’s skull.

I basically like these panels, but there are a few logistical questions:

1. I’ve had a couple people question whether a hatchet would really get covered in blackberry juice that way. It’s a valid question and you might have somehow already got the impression that this is one webcomic where scientific accuracy matters. So I fully plan to test this, but I have to wait until blackberry season. I’ll get back to you.

2. Just before uploading this installment I noticed that the fence has suddenly shot up out of the ground about a foot in the second panel, pushing San up with it and leaving his feet dangling in the air. The explanation for this will be revealed in due time. Start laying your bets now… volcanic activity? Subterranean gopher people? A fence that magically grows to prevent people from climbing it? A poor grasp of spatial relationships on the part of the artist? Nah…. Couldn’t be that last one.
