Pink haired siren girl. She was unintentionally created without a personality by Honey, when she broke into the HRC. After Honey left, Crystal was completed and allowed to leave the HRC.
Electronics University student. Attends the same school as Honey and David. He is Crystal's love interest, but is so shy as to be nearly oblivious to her affections.
I’ve been feeling the sting of malfunctioning technology today too, bub! However, I don’t think that your smart phone deserved to get soaked like you did, I imagine.
Hey Robert? Friday’s comic (1096) isn’t registering in the “In Story” browse. It’s going straight from 1095 to this one. It looks like it’s not listed as being part of Story 10a. Did you miss a tag on Friday’s comic?
Is this a deliberate compare/contrast to Pearl in the previous strip? All sirens like to use the water as punishment (I suppose, sirens would) but Crystal limits her revenge to a duck pond with just a ruined suit and ruined phone as punishment for getting handsy, but Pearl goes for probably fatal (if you go off a bridge into the Thames then you are probably going to die).
It isn’t the fall that kills you in the Thames, you can jump off a docking pontoon and it’ll take you, it is the cold and the currents. The Thames through London has a lot of undertow and a lot of tricky flows. Especially if the tide is on the change. If the lifeboat doesn’t get to you within a couple of minutes then it is all over.
Technically, it’s the “new” London Bridge, and that’s apocryphal. Both Ivan Lucklin (the seller on behalf of the City of London) and Robert P. McCullogh (the Buyer) have both said in interviews they knew which bridge they were getting.
As for the “old” London Bridge, it was literally falling apart when they replaced in in 1831, so it was scrapped. Considering it was over 600 years old and a main crossway for London during that time, not suprising.
I think ai_vin nailed it. Pearl and Crystal share a psychic link, Pearl tells two guys to jump off a bridge and at the same time Crystal pushes a random guy into a pond for no apparent reason.
how did we just go from Pearl to Crystal?
Maybe Crystal is channeling Pearl? Pearl DID just send two guys off to jump off a bridge. Could they share a mental link?
well, Crystal WAS created from Pearl’s DNA.. they’re both Sirens, so in a way.. they could be related.
Yes, that was my thinking.

My guess is this guy either tried to hit on Crystal or Ethan and paid the price for it….
That’d be my guess as well. ^_^
Or maybe try to cop a feel….given Ethan’s response, I suspect that this might have occurred to Crystal without his knowledge…

Yup, that’s what happened. Should be fixed now.
Dang, the lenses on Ethan’s glasses are HUGE.
Wow we… we sure are jumping the fuck around lol
#1096 isn’t showing up in the archive, unless it’s in the filler sections and I missed it.
Wow, you got hit with terrible timing. I fixed that the literal minute you said that (compare the comment time on my above comment and yours)
Mister, you need to develop some class and stop hitting on kids.

That is… interesting.
The current version of London Bridge is only about 30 feet above the water. I think the old one, now in Arizona, is even lower; I’ve walked across it.

Maybe you’re thinking of the Tower Bridge, which is what the idiots who bought the old London Bridge thought they were buying.

Well, they would say that, wouldn’t they?
London Bridge is falling down
falling down
falling down
London Bridge is falling down
my fair lady.

I keep feeling like I’m missing strips.
There’s a connection here that people are surprisingly missing. Though I’ll admit that I missed it, too, when I first saw this page.
Is it that Crystal hates people talking on there cell? I don’t recall that. but maybe as a mute she hates that.

I assume this is some kind of foreshadowing.
