    Is Reclaimer talking to the fire? Or am I missing something?

        It seems like we missed the part where RC asked "WTF IS THAT THING BURNING ON MY SKULL AND WHY IS IT TALKING TO ME???"

        • Jim Stitzel
          July 15, 2010 at 3:47 pm | #

          He's a smart guy. He figured it out almost immediately.

            Hmm, I think a reader who can't be bothered reading the comments or transcripts would be a little bit disoriented. We're sorry if we're not all as smart as RC ;)

        And I guess in a few months you will have the flaming head in Reach as well, if there is to be more of this guy.

          Yeah, we'll see. I'm honestly not yet sure what Barcode's long-term usefulness will be to this story.

      Maybe Jim’s feeling guilty about the slow pace of the comic? ‘Cause I’m happy to forgive in return for reveals :)

      • Jim Stitzel
        July 14, 2010 at 3:43 pm | #

        Nope, no feelings of guilt because, hey, I have good life reasons for why I haven't been able to post more frequently. :)

      It's not random. Trust me. (If you need verification, check the transcripts for the last couple of comics.)

            He added some much appreciated humour, but I believe it was because he was reunited, his crazy was sorta cancelled by the others sanity.

    • Jim Stitzel

      It used to be white, but the circumstances have changed sufficiently where that color and font are no longer required. :)

    • Jim Stitzel
      July 22, 2010 at 1:55 pm | #

      Well, it was originally white. The context has changed sufficiently to where that color and font are no longer necessary.

      On both points, just wait and see. More revelations are yet to come.

    Vindictive – Having or showing a strong or malevolent desire for revenge.
    Capacitor – A device that stores electrostatic energy and then releases it; blocks DC and allows AC to pass through. Also referred to as a storage cell, a secondary cell, a condenser or an accumulator.

    For something to be vindictive, then it's got to be able to think. And a capacitor obviously cannot. They can be used in timers and motion detectors. But I can't quite see what could be happening here. So…what if the capacitor isn't really a capacitor in the way of its true definition. What RC has been shown by this Barcode could be some AI that has this desire for revenge. But why capacitor? What has it got to do with a capacitor?

    EDIT: Sorry. I think this place, the 'bubble', is the vindictive capacitor. But still. A capacitor for what? And why is it vindictive?

    Didn't you mention once that the Machine had a long-term usefulness. I believe you used the phrase "not a scratch character".
