Yeah, you can't trust nobody nohow.

Which throne, I wonder? Agatha's, or Albia's? Could this be a plot to murder the Queen of England? Skifander's Queen -- the original one -- was somehow killed in battle, after all ...

[occams_pyramid]

And Seventh Dynasty of which throne, if Albia has been queen since way way back?

[jbwoodford]

That's the leftovers from Gil and Trelawney fighting the Egyptian revenant, so I'm guessing Egypt's.

I did speculate here, not long ago, that Ariadne was interested in Skifander because she was after something that could kill a Queen.

"I did speculate here, not long ago, that Ariadne was interested in Skifander because she was after something that could kill a Queen."

I was just thinking that too.

OK, things are getting right serious now.

I'm going to hope that Thorpe and Wooster aren't in on all this...

I don't think they are besties anyway, judging from their exchange

So I think for this plot to work, Wooster needs to be solidly on Agatha's side as the agent of reason, truth and fairness.

Realy? because this page: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20171206#.W8o3PWhKiUk

would seem to indicate the opposite.

And a further page that shows his reaction to the idea that the queen is trying to push Thorpe and Gil together (dont have the link handy) is even better.

Re: OK, things are getting right serious now.

[elmegil]

I think they meant Moonbark and Thorpe & Wooster, not Thorpe & Wooster themselves.

Re: OK, things are getting right serious now.

[soncnikralj]

Indeed, that is also what I meant.
(Mixed up the names of Moonbark and Thorpe, sorry!)

Wild Speculations -- Read At Your Own Risk

[murgatroyd666]

According to Zeetha, Queen Luheia died in a battle with the Grey Witch.

Speculation: The cohort of local Bad Guys hopes to kill Queen Albia.

Speculation: They want a Skifandrian artifact (possibly any artifact) to use in some procedure that will enable them to locate Skifander or even to be transported to Skifander. This might be accomplished by activating a Mirror, or perhaps by using the Law of Contagion or one of the other Laws of Magic.

Speculation: The artifact could turn out to be Zeetha's "emotional face" headband, which Higgs currently has.

Speculation: The Other, in one or another of her aspects, was/is/will be the Grey Witch.

Speculation: How do you kill a Queen? Well, everyone who knows about them fears them: the Dreen. And perhaps Albia is powerless over the Dreen because it/they* are from another dimension and are not necessarily composed of Matter As We Know It.
____________________________________________
* The Dreen is/are from a higher dimension than ours; what we see are intrusions into our three-dimensional universe. What we perceive as multiple Dreen might be parts of a single organism, or they might be separate individuals.

zeetha has 2 of those face things. She gave one to Higgs and kept one.

Something I just noticed while reviewing old comics.
Lord Bunstable's brain hat looks rather similar to Robur Heterodyne's hat.
He was also investigating time (comic 20140616).

Re: galley

[elmegil]

Something *I* just noticed reading your comment:

Lord B-Unstable.
