My friend's assertion was, as usual, 100% correct.

We'll see if my assertion that Klaus and Trelawney's opinions and/or wishes are irrelevant to the principals is accurate. I'll also give points that, when it happens, Agatha will have, if not won Klaus over, at least partially assuaged his worries. Of course, I won't rule out Gil/Trewlaney+Agatha/Tarvek. I also, knowing something of Phil's history, not rule out One True Foursome. (Or sixsome, adding Zeetha/Higgs. Or eightsome, adding Violetta/Oh my gosh he's been out of view so long I can't immediately recall his name, ah, von Zinzer. Or tensome...

Klaus is a bastard.

I'm just hating Klaus right now. They need him out of Gil's head NOW.

[madfilkentist]

Trelawney's yielding to browbeating by Klaus seems out of character. Especially because she likes Gil.

Re: Klaus is a bastard.

[madfilkentist]

Klaus is the very archetype of pragmatism. (And I'm not disagreeing with you.)

[murgatroyd666]

I don't think she's yielding to Klaus. I think she's yielding to Albia.

[murgatroyd666]

How could you forget von Zinzer?!

I suspect that the solution to the question "Gil or Tarvek?" is similar to Klaus' backstory, and that it was foreshadowed *very* early in the comic: Can't Agree on a Hat ..."

Klaus is a bastard.

Not just any ordinary bastard ... Klaus is a magnificent bastard. And I salute him.

I wouldn't say she's yielding as she was already on that course. Klaus is showing he sees through Albia's scheme and that he approves. While at the same time allowing the reader to catch up with the plot if they hadn't already seen the writing on the wall in the previous strips.

As far as political marriages go, one where there seems to be an easy relationship already there, is a bloody good start.

I take the fourth panel as a dig at Klaus. "You're worried she'll do what you did?"

And what are Trelawney's real feelings about Gil? or Wooster?

[spectrum_09]

Regarding Moloch von Zinzer, aren't you forgetting Snaug and Saana?

[marycatelli]

He would be happiest with Violetta.

I admit they were far in advance of her last we saw them, but perhaps she will learn a few tricks in this time.

[marycatelli]

Well, of course it was a dig.

No one knows better than he how much evil he could have done.

[madfilkentist]

Where is Violetta, anyway? She's due for a dramatic reappearance.
