Oh, ya mean the ol’ “Screech-Jiggle” effect? 😈 😉 Well-placed comic relief! 😛

I really hope we eventually get to learn more about Sedja’s origins. Some of Jig’s art shows her before she was Dead Inside, and she looks pretty innocent to me (also, a lot smaller). But then again, this is coming from a place with warrior princesses who speak about dying with dignity, so any innocence is prolly relative here. 🙄

I don’t think innocent fits Sedja at all. (It’s the killing thing that throws me off.) To me, the second panel looks more startled and baffled than anything else. Although, just because there’s “jiggle” effect drawn in, it doesn’t mean that Sedja is the dirty minded one.

This makes me wonder how much Sedja has been outside of the pendant. She might actually be pretty innocent, depending on her origins. Just being an efreet raises the question of why she’s an efreet and how she became one.

I ‘was’ going to comment on how innocent Sejda looks in the 2nd panel…then I saw harimans comment and I just can’t get innocent to fit…I didn’t even see that the first time…

@betaclone17: That whole sequence at the beginning was all real (as far as I can tell). Jigsaw doesn’t have to be chained up all the time since she’s an Executioner, so she went out to the “Little Arael” district of the Last Res0rt station to meet with Binary and Melody. She was disguised so she wouldn’t get mobbed by fans of the show. After the blood hit the fan, Binary rushed her back to her quarters, and Melody worked to cover up what had happened.

From there things transition pretty abruptly to the beginning of the next episode of the show. http://www.lastres0rt.com/2010/06/now-thats-a-jury-of-your-peers/ I could see how that might make everything prior seem like a dream/memory. 🙂

And I love Sedja’s confused expression in the second panel.

Sedja is the ultimate Smart weapon.
Vs. the usual ID10T enemy, no less. And stupid usually does advertise itself.

I love that final remark in the last panel: “Everyone can translate the Stupid!”

It brings to mind a memorable line from Robert A. Heinlein’s 1941 short story “Logic of Empire” which goes something like this: “You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity.”

Though, in this case, the malice is a direct result of the stupidity, so perhaps the quote isn’t a apt as I thought?

*Laughs out loud* I just caught the “jiggle” unsound effect in the first panel! Apparently, that armor and suit lack proper support.

Now where’s that devil horned smiley?
