    all makes perfect sense.

    Okay, I totally get it Anja, but maybe you should explain for all those other folks who don't, who again, are totally not me?

    Seems relatively straight forward as time travel goes. The Norns presumably exist simultaneously in all time so they “remember” meeting Kat when she comes to them later. She probably went to see the Norns to get information or because of the mechanics of time travel.

    Alternatively there is only one set of gods for the infinite time lines so every version of Kat passes through these same Norns at some point in her journey.

    Why not both? These are the tripartite goddess(es) of Time, Fate, and divination of all sorts. Seeing all paths necessarily means being part of them too.

    Alternate explanation of why they know Kat: it’s like that scene in Back to the Future Part II where Biff sees the flying Delorean and instantly knows it’s a time machine because he remembers seeing it in the past despite hover systems not being invented until sometime in the intervening thirty years.

    I'm a little disappointed that Kat isn't seeing 3 ladies in bad Kat disguises working in a clock repair shop tbh

    I think in this case its because shes accepted that Time Travel has to be possible

    My thinking is that if Allison couldn't see that punch and transformation in accelerated time, then neither did the crowd, and White Chain collapses the moment the pair return to normal time

    From an outsider's perspective it absolutely looks like Solomon David won and that White Chain was obliterated

    even if no one could see the hit, they can still see the bruise

    i'm sure Gog-Agog is getting a nice close-up for the cameras

    Gog Agog definitely made sure everyone saw him check his face and see the scuff with her camera magic

    Destroy History

    It's the last Destroy History tomorrow. I'm very sorry to say that it ends on a cliffhanger, which will not be resolved until early 2021. I know that I am not a good person but I am working to be better! DESTROY HISTORY: SURPRISE SURPRISE will, like the unexpected, hit you between the eyes.

    Steeple returns on Monday for a run all the way to Christmas, though I have to warn you, I am going to take a week off at some point and you should cut out some Cathy comics (ideally 4 but maybe 8) from the newspaper and save them for then because it is going to be a real chuckle drought.

    Hmmmm that does make sense

    It would also explain why Allison didn't see it; she wasn't looking at any screens, and was getting ready to throw down during that sequence

    Still, if that turns out to be the explanation, I wish it was communicated a little bit more clearly, like by showing one of the panels of Solomon checking his face framed by a screen

    i'm kind of expecting that to be on the next page or two. just like a wide shot with the crowd looking at a jumbotron or something

    In today’s QC, realization sets in

    Also i have had this exact conversation with a few people but they either didn’t realize it or were kind enough to pretend so they wouldn’t have to reject me outright.

    Huh.

    I was under the impression that no one actually saw the exchange except for Solomon David and White Chain herself. All the crowd saw was a flash of white and then their emperor standing triumphant (and about to execute his opponent, no less); Gog-Agog says that they know their emperor has won, but they are wrong

    I think gog-agog is broadcasting a close-up of that mark on his face

    In the latest Alfie, some self-reflection

    I like how as the story begins to wind down we see some actual growth in these characters

    For a comic that only just had a child soldier murdered by an eldritch god, Sleepless Domain sure does warm my heart

    To be fair, that child soldier was kind of jerk.
