Is the plot on fast-forward now? I hope not, but I needed to skip over “everyone fills in everyone else on the plot.”
Also: NO COPS! We’ll elaborate on this next strip.

Happy new years!
And who fixed all of Elka’s overdone magic?
Sarin maybe? This looks as if they had a little time to do the most urgent fixes.
I see that Sam is a firm believer in the “preach them down to four” school of personnel management. 😀
Well I can’t blame him for firing them…
…I just realized, I’m not sure what Sam’s pronouns are. They definitely had their body change from male to female, but to what extent they continue to identify with the prior gender I don’t recall.
I think Sam uses female pronouns or at the very least isn’t nearly as emotionally disturbed as Greg’s friend Terry by the valley curse, not the least of which reason is because in Sam’s case it was VOLUNTARY.
That makes sense. I could imagine circumstances where someone volunteered and then regretted it, but that isn’t the sense I get from Sam.
Belatedly: General agreement on the not-blaming-her. There were really endemic problems in the Tinto PD, and even if there is disruption in the short term, the problems need to be resolved or there will be no justice in the long-term.
There are historical precedents to this. Georgia fired ALL of its cops once. There was no widespread chaos because it turned out the cops were the ones causing all the problems, the corruption was THAT bad.
*searches Internet for story about Georgian police firing*
I’m not at all surprised, actually – I’d noticed something similar in other contexts (although probably not as extreme) and thought that firing almost everyone would be a good idea.
fired them all? is the corruption that bad? damn. i feel sorry for the Citizens there. they are more or lesser left to themselves.
i look forward to the NeXT update.
Just about all the cops who weren’t on Cary’s payroll are dead. (Blue is the one possible exception, and we can’t be sure about that as the ID-theft demon claims there were FIVE assassination attempts.)
That could actually be a neat strategic move against Cary, since her powers are dependent on having a structure to oppose. I’m reminded of that one JLA issue where Amazo the superpower-duplicating android is trying to break his creator out of prison. Amazo starts with all the powers of the first superheroes to arrive and only becomes more powerful as more show up to help contain him… so Superman officially disbands the Justice League, causing Amazo to lose all his copied powers when his programming no longer recognizes the heroes as his opponents.
