Before I woke up this morning, in my dream I was looking at today's update and the first panel looks like what I saw in my dream, especially Jerry stroking his hair...spooky...
For once, I don't blame Jerry for missing all the signs. Dylan's one big incoherent mess. And I LOVE how he's able to joke about his situation now; plus the sudden mode swing when Dylan goes poking was icing on the cake.
At first I read Jerry's "don't do that" as quite serious, but then I read that interaction again, and I think he seems more annoyed than anything. Like, if I were dead and my sibling poked through my ghost body, I'd be a little miffed too. "That's not cool, bro. Don't. That's like... ghost racist, I think."
It's more like poking the "fat kid" because you've seen one too many Pilsbury Doughboy commercials and you think it's funny. Might be to you, but it certainly isn't to the "fat kid". It's even less funny if you do it repeatedly after being asked to stop. Just sayin'.
I am starting to think Dylan will admit everything or most of what happened to Jerry. He seems to switch more and more to "Dang. I effed up. I actually liked that guy and now I miss him." as I pointed out before.
If that happens then I am not sure how Jerry will react but I guess nobody likes to hear they were killed by their brother :/
They are really catching up on all that lost time. Just that one is already dead. Heh.
Cannot. I think he would not risk it NOW but maybe later under more pressure from his seemingly newfound regrets?
Ah! I have not looked at it that way and... that makes it even more sad, haha. It would exactly improve anything but then... what are you going to improve with a dead ghost??
If Jeremy successully locates Robin, that would point to him being more than a hallucination, because I don't see how a figment of your own imagination could go off and gather information by itself.
So, a couple of interesting questions spring to mind after reading through this scene, which aren't really new, but have new light shed on them by this recent development.
Is Ghost Jerry real, and if so, does that mean he has the same motivations as his previous flesh and body self?
If Ghost Jerry is not real and just a hallucination of Dylan's mind, does that mean that Dylan killed Robin and now remembers where he hid the body, or is he just guessing because the idea that he might have killed Robin is making his imagination run wild?
Either scenario is plausible to me at this point, but given other ideas that have been expressed to date, I'm leaning slightly in favor of Ghost Jerry being imaginary.
One question: If Ghost Jerry is imaginary then what happened here in your opinion?
Ghost Jerry said he located Rob so it would actually mean Dylan realized where Rob might be. Same with other similar thoughts if we assume Ghost Jerry is imaginary.

The more I read the more I feel like I'm going crazy right alongside Dylan.
It's an incredibly uncomfortable feeling.
Which I suppose is the point, so good work :D
Moth
Heheh nice to hear ;)
Thank you joey!

He cares so much about his looks he has to preen himself even in other people's dreams :')

Even I had forgotten I ever made reference to the name of the forest before damn
See it's ok when Jerry points out the fact he's dead, but nobody else is allowed to do it!

You think he'd risk telling him? :>
Dylan probably likes him better now that jerry's forced to not just ignore him the whole time.

Oh poor Dylan, your confusion will only get worse in the coming pages.
Moth
hMM have you been sneaking peeks at my scripts? :3c
JammyTheBirb
I'm embarassed it took me this long to realise Jerry and Suit Jerry are different. ^w^'
That last panel... Interesting.
Moth
Aaa it's okay, dylan wasn't entirely sure about that either until a couple pages ago
Jackarais
Boy, it sure is good for Dylan that Jerry is kinda stupid.
