Anyone else wondering where Tyler got the mace? Did it come with the outfit? And why does it seem to be dissolving after he hit the Lance of Considerable Injury(TM).
It was hanging from his belt, on the left, in the second strip where he’s in the new duds (the strip after he goes: “What am I wearing?”). It’s haft is visible when he first looks at t.he object he’s holding in his left hand throughout todays strip.
I’m not convinced management is the problem, p & g seem to be trying to force things when they don’t understand what’s happening, and overreacting when Tyler is reluctant. Is Revenant the management as another of his fronts and ways to recycle oddities in a useful way? And using that weapon on kids probably will void their contract if he is boss. Things really need to start tying back together a little.
That mace melting seems to be more because of the powers of the OP gun. The shop looks to be a bigger problem, places like this are usually owned by wise folk and not these arrogant kids. (looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck… they are kids too)
It doesn’t feel like the Revenant is their manager. And “recycling oddities” this way strikes me as way too irresponsible for a guy who confiscates the same kind of items from those who misuse them. Even if he tells P&G who to give powers too, giving out powers seems more like introducing more chaos to the playing field rather than ensuring everyone gets a fair shake in life.
But I definitely agree that P&G are overreacting. More precisely, they’re rushing to conclusions- both that Cecil, Ron, and The Flea are indeed their intruders, or that fighting is the appropriate course of action.
If you have a round peg, and only square holes, you look for a round hole to give it to. ‘Recycling’ in this case would be a puppet master giving a powerful/ dangerous object to someone who could do good with it in exchange for something else that will help others. Not that I believe that’s what’s happening here, just explaining his point.
Oh yeah, not to mention that the Revenant would have to be directly and intentionally lying to Tyler about the place (ps238.nodwick.com/comic/2018-09-07/) if he was actually its manager.
I admit I was hoping we’d see someone already tied into continuity. Revenant has already given Tyler and Cecil powerful items, but they are being a bit more responsible than hauling out some weapon of doom to fire at children as intruders.
The crucial question to me is are P&G really kids, who are overreacting and the boss should be giving them a talking to for threatening customers? Or is the child for them only appearance, and they are fully culpable for their jerkery? I’m leaning that their boss is either more reasonable or nuanced neutral as I think they’re going beyond their mandate.
I believe they’re kids. In fact, their overreaction in the context of doing their job seems like a very child-like thing to me. That’s something you’ll see in children trying to do a job responsibly and well: a certain zealousness. From experience, it’s age and experience that tempers people and stops them from hastily making assumptions and picking a fight.
Well, usually.
Anyway, most stores selling precious commodities are very wary about people who enter it. Enter through the front door with the staff’s knowledge and you’re fine. Entering suddenly, without invitation or presenting yourself first to the staff, is behavior you see in a thief or someone else- like Charles unintentionally did (ps238.nodwick.com/comic/2017-07-24/).
And it doesn’t help that Cecil presented himself with a forceful demand as if he was a cop. He needs to realize that “Bureau of Assessment of Metahumans” is a childhood fantasy even if he’s following the noble and prudent task of watching the watchers.
So I don’t blame both P&G for how they acted. It’s all in keeping with them all being kids.
Ace Of Mace!
presses button – I summon super upper management! Beware our PR desk and lawyers that shall soon fall from the skies!
In reality – summon random mook possibly grade 3.
Grade 3 as in Third Grade (counting up from Kindergarten)? Or like third-rate, two tiers of super below first-rate?
Or — “[ascending] degrees like burns or [descending] degrees like orders?”
Hopefully the lawyers forgot their parachutes

And it looks like, whatever that “weapon” was made of, is dissolving it!
So I’d guess a bunch of people are relieved to see that Tyler has not yet partaken the potion, so that question has not been avoided yet.
Tyler doesn’t need potion-bought powers.
He’s shaping up to be awesome just the way he is. ^_^
Bonus points if it’s just soda. Because “management” has a sense of humor (or is aware of the futility).
Ooh. I like that twist. 🙂
The Revenant: I sometimes think access to c̶a̶s̶h̶ Caffiene is the greatest superpower of all.”
Lester: “Don’t knock it, kid. Having three cups of coffee is the closest I get to metahuman powers these days”.
Tim Drake: Coffee is a human necessity.

I genuinely hope someone calms them down.

Ok, my fall back choice, is the Management is actually the time travelling kid and/or Paradox.

* is behavior you see in a thief or someone else without good intentions
And the coat feeds… again!
One day it shall consume us all.
Apparently, only if we’re all made of ethereal material!
Button on a box? I’m guessing it’s a “Forcefully Eject All Non-Personnel” button. They’ll probably get shunted out onto the street outside.
Those kids would be sent to the principal’s office if they got caught doodling a picture of that lance going off, lol.
One of the Flea’s hands is cupping his chin, what is his other hand cupping ? , whatever it is it has not put a smile on her face.
I’s cupping perspective.
