    I just love Flea’s description of Stage One.

    Stage one: The first half of Carrie, especially the beginning of the school dance.
    Stage two: Starts during the dance.
    Stage three: After she kills her mother. Now she is really dangerous.

      Not just for the logical progression but to move things out of morbid territory:
      What’s stage four and on?

        It’s a Stephen King story. I don’t think it ever leaves morbid behind.

    Is he pinned inside the ventilation system or the room?

      Since Cecil is crawling out of the vent, Tyler’s in the room.

        Looks like Cecil shrunk Tyler and hs bag… so now Tyler is ultra-tiny!

          Does it work like that? I thought the gun reversed the shinking the second time. Or, at least, that it was restricted to one shrink.

        2. Mike

          You recall correctly. Back in the “Second Contact” issue, when Ambriel triggered the shrink gun causing it to hit the already-shrunk Forak, the resulting (insert technical-sounding nonsense here) blew up the bridge, with Forak returned to normal size. Cecil then said, “And that’s why you can’t shrink something that’s already shrunk!”

        3. TheGalator

          Yeah, I think that is just Tyler being farther away from us than Cecil. I too was confused, as Cecil is apparently staring at a blank wall.

    2. Sean Duggan

      My interpretation of the scene is that he fired off the grapnel while in some way anchoring himself and/or the device in the bag so that when it retracted, it pulled the bag into the wall/ceiling. I thought she’d faked pulling the device out of Tyler’s bag, but either she acted like it was on the floor, or from Ron’s bag, as mentioned by Mr. Alloy (the latter doesn’t seem quite as likely since he’s looking the other way while asking her if she wanted to check it, while she was pulling the device from her glove).

  4. Stephen Bierce

    It’s like that episode of The Dukes of Hazzard in which Huey Hogg enables the Dukes’ escape from the County pokey in his ploy to get Boss Hogg to fire Roscoe and make him the new Sheriff.
    Or when Peter Parker stuck himself to the ceiling of his studio so that nobody would see him in his Spider-Man outfit.
    “People here forget to look UP.”

    There’s a story that when Lord Baden-Powell was a school boy, he would play hooky. Taking a friend with him, he told his friend to climb a tree and keep quiet when they heard the Headmaster coming up the trail. The friend was ready to give up as the Headmaster reached their little camp but Baden-Powell just motioned him to be silent. The Headmaster looks around the camp and then stomps off. Baden-Powell points out to his friend that he’s discovered that no one ever looks up! This is the sort of thing he wanted to teach in the British Boy Scouts (Yes, he intended the Boy Scouts to teach boys how to be better soldiers when they grew up!)

    I’m guessing the detector of unauthorized personnel will begin Ron’s transition from Stage One to Stage Two.

  7. The Wombat

    That sounds worryingly like Worm superpowers, as granted by Giant Alien Space Whales (TM). Love Flea!
