As promised, the Latchkey Kingdom sunday thread.
Inappropriate jelly talk inevitable.

Including all the stuff I have skipped in storytimes because I wanted to stick to the color pages (Unless really necessary for the plot).

First we have Minion.
...
Grandpa Dragonfly sure goes on a lot of adventures to other lands.
Exploring richer dungeons, saving more prestigious kingdoms, and probably visiting his other prettier grandchildren.
And hey, look at that near the outhouse.
...
...
Friendly Rosaline and Willa discuss courtship.
...
Rosaline is a total prankster.
And that face is like the Idols' that Willa collected back in Usurper.
Is she being nice or playing cupid?
...
We are being given some hints about Jane's feelings for Willa. Are they subtle enough to escape Willa's notice?
Rosaline is a romantic at heart.
Probably Ash's bomb.
This is the first chapter in which we learn Rosaline is kind of badass and not just a boss.
For those keeping score it seems Blue Snakes cause unconsciousness on the victim. Azure snakes make your fingers and toes fall off.
...
...
...
...
I just realized that Zander didn't change out of his fencing suit. Surely that provides him with more armor for this surprise bit of adventuring.
...
Laying down the hurt.
...
Rosaline is not mean, she is strategically hurtful for mirth and combat.
Willa and Rosaline are not that different.
And for those paying attention, boys liking boats is an actual canon stereotype, it seems.
But that's it for Minion now we move onto...
Desert.
Something completely different, but it is a completed storyline so it goes here.
...
I thought we agreed to wait until the next weekend so we would have more stuff to discuss?
bumping either way
Because landmasses are large corals floating around the planet the concept of 'North' is all relative.
The first adventure of Semira & Inga.
Eh. We may have misunderstood which Sunday we meant. Too lat to take it back now. There are Saturday sketches, the stream drawings and a few more pages to discuss.
Why not the loincloth?
...
Well I'm just hoping that people will notice this thread since most might not be expecting there to be one today.
...
I think we have wildly different expectations of where the regulars may be on a Sunday night.
Besides, the whole idea of the storytime is to get more readers interested with a few choice morsels.
...
...
...
fair enough
I'd say the storytimes have done a pretty good job so far
If Semira's first instinct was to plug the strange hole with her finger, it is a good thing she wasn't born a boy.
...
...
...
...
...
...
Alas, Dune Worm monster pinata, we barely knew thee.
...
...
...
...
...
thicc girls kissing thicc girls, not kissing you.
And that concludes this adventure of Samira & Inga.
Not onto more familiar and familiarer faces with...
Shade
...
Lots of secondary and backer-based characters in this one.
...
Gwen Hilla and Donovan Dragon Puncher, standing out in the open, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
...
...
You can find Svana in the tent.
Is having your mailbox by your outhouse normal? I guess if you wanna read the paper while on the loo it's practical.
He's too high level for Hilla so he gotta go abroad for his adventurin.
I'm not sure about other grandkids but I'm pretty sure he visits stripclubs/whorehouses when out of town. Less chance of Willa finding out that way
Girls fighting with swords is Zanders fetish.
The teachers face perfectly sums up my thoughts about Rosalines actions.
I think she's happy that Zander gets to have fun. Despite being a dweeb he is her best friend.
Balder has good taste in books.
I never noticed that, good catch.
And Rosaline seems to have taken lessons in the Guybrush Threepwood style of fencing.
I love the fact that they took the couch with them.
Boats are the equivalent of cars in this universe so it makes sense that boys like them.
I wonder if the claw was actually saying anything. Back in Claw it seemed like Willa was starting to understand its speech.
And the glorious return of the 70 Seas Kid!
A reminder that you should read everything Debbie says as there are some hints of truth buried under the debris of poorly conceived fantasy.
She thinks jellyflesh is gross, I think that is ironic foreshadowing.
With that face you can bet that Debbie has ideas about how Shadows manage to reproduce.
...
And in a single page we learn Willa's full fur pattern and what Debbie is into.
How perverse!
...
Not-Nikol is a very private person.
...Right until you give her an opportunity to explain her teenage anger.
...
...
This was a very good sequence to make us feel sympathy for the new Willa.
...
...
...
Another opportunity for the star of this chapter to shine the outhouse
I have no idea how I never catched on that Semira completly missed the point of the statue. Or was she correct and I missed that joke?
Magnetic north is still a thing regardless of the type of landmass.
When you drool when thinking about wigs you might be a bit obsessed. But she's cute so she gets a pass.
So are those supposed to be Shadows crawling out of the monsters? If so that is some good foreshadowing about Shadows and the jellyflesh constructs.
Inga is pretty lucky that she wasn't required to beat the beast before the thing would unlock. Or else they would both be stuck in that thing.
...
And on that page we see Svana and her sexy qualified practitioner of medicine outfit.
...
...
...
Semira not understanding the statue was broken is the joke.
Quote:
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand."— The City's gone,—
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.
...
More BBA characters, including Galondria!
...
...
...
...
Nikol is a good kid.
She seemed very angry with Debbie at first...
...But then I realized that maybe Debbie reminds her of Lewk.
And with this we conclude Shade. The last chapter of this Storytime thread will be...
No no, wait. THIS is how Shade ends. Moving onto...
FORTRESS 4TK
...
This chapter is really heavy great for shipping. With varying degrees of willingness of the people getting shipped.
Papa Nick better show Rose in next comic, I can wait but don't you try me.
