Cohen: I do apologize for keeping you waiting. I wanted the clearest, most up-to-date information on the Rabbit before we sat down to discuss her.
Bennett: Is she . . . I mean, it . . . giving you trouble?
Mr. Cohen, on behalf of all the citizens of Massachusetts, I would like to thank you for volunteering your time and resources to subdue this dangerous–
Cohen: Spare me the rhetoric. Most of what it’s done so far is singing.
Cybele (Bennett’s imagination): Swing low, sweet char-i-ot . . .
Bennett: Singing?
Cohen: Singing.
Cybele (Cohen’s imagination): 839 bottles of beer on the wall, 839 bottles of beer!
Bennett: Well! I’m sure that must be . . . annoying, at least. You’re probably eager to get it in custody of somebody else. And would look to support a bill that–
Cohen: No, not really.
Bennett: . . . Then are you getting something out of it? Information, or . . .
Cohen: Mr. Bennett, I realize that voters have short attention spans, but she does not.
None of us know how long she’s really existed. Longer than your religion — and that’s the low estimate. You can’t set yourself against her wishes and expect to win in three days. It would set a world record if you did it in a decade.
Their profiles in the top panels look good! And the sd panel is once again adorablicious.
:ominously: SINGING.
*LOL at panel three* Bennett really doesn’t understand Cybele does he?
Nice insight on how ancient these beings are.
Makes me wander if the game and the whole contract thing wasn’t actually some punishment/enforced by something either out of boredom or as a limiter/control mechanism to teach them humility and/or keep them enslaving humanity.
The match of Cohen’s eyes with Poe’s color is also interesting.
I’m glad Cybele at least seems to be enjoying herself. :P
Interesting – I didn’t register the heart as a more or less permanent marker on Cybele. I wonder if she can do without and what it meant back then.
was he picturing a more depressing song(sad about being in a cage) than the childish a million bottles of beer(just being the pink bunny)? or was he picturing a black people song?
