How many days do you have to reference “hip flask drinking” as an image? Heh.
Sheng never drew the mental link between “kept sticking me in new bodies every time I got too old” and “centuries”, did (s)he?
Side effect of the spell. Realizing would be emotional damage.
First thing that I thought of was “how many people would love to have a secret compartment like that in their house?”
And: “How many people do have a secret compartment like that in their house?”
…Why would she swear by Jesus?!
Most likely Sheng knows about various deities and belief systems due to the religion still existing at the time, or from being their beloved being an entity that have such knowledge and found it interesting. That or at the time Sheng was growing up Jesus lost all religious connotations and ended up being a new cuss word.
Or its a different word that carries the same meaning
Or she’s mentioning the Hispanic guy that built the house they’re all standing in as an access code to the hidden hooch. “Jesus” (pronounced Hey Zeus) is a very common Hispanic name.
Not to forget that it has long become a word used in such a situation both by Christians and other people. Not far-fetched that it has stayed in use at least until Sheng’s youth.
AND here comes the breakdown.
I’m disappointed at Goro; he should look harder in the future.
For all we know, there were a million very well concealed flasks in this house and this is the only one he didn’t find. In which case I’d admire his skill and also be a bit worried on more than one account.
Survival adaptation: when you have a kid, you learn to hide the booze.
(When you have a teenager, you learn to find the booze…)
Damn. breakdown time indeed. at least she is in good hands.
I broke out laughing at the last panel of this comic.
Seriously, I’m glad nobody’s around to have seen me do that, because I basically never laugh that hard, and yet you made me do it.
Well-done.
