Swan Eaters by Georgia Dunn for October 21, 2020

Blood hopping into a huge, open portal is scary. I hope Olwen knows what she’s doing!

There’s this wee little spot in the universe where special relativity, quantum mechanics, strings and branes, and Grandma Olwen’s magic all happily co-exist.

Traffic artery?

You can teach an old woman new tricks. This old woman anyway!

Winnie really is a good boy!

Pay attention now, Salem. You may need this later!

I am anxious to hear about Vesper and Wigglesworth.

Hopefully she’ll have the heart to teach it to everyone! ;)

Winnie spoke! Has he ever spoken before?

I just love Winnie’s toothy fangy grin!

Winnie may not be able to speak but he sure got his message across when Salem was attacked.

I was hoping Winnie would help.

Now how old are they going to be?

So we have this on time between the Earth realm and the Fire and Ice realms (supposition that time passes the same in the Fire and Ice realms as it hasn’t yet been said they were only in one realm). Ten to Twenty minutes pass in the Earth Realm for five years in the Fire and Ice Realms (based on on the October 12, 2020 revelation of how much time had passed). So two to four minutes in the Earth Realm for every year in the Fire and Ice realms. Which means we can figure on thirty seconds to a minute for a quarter year. Of course that’s not figuring leap years. But it does give some idea on aging differences. And that Mr. Wigglesworth may be younger than Ebenezer while still being hundreds of years old (so does this mean that Vesper is robbing the cradle?)

Morbis and the rest of the family can’t have gotten far, they’ve got at least two wagons to pull between three horses (Based on Feb. 26, 2020 strip in which the family is spread over two wagons as they only have enough wood to keep two woodstoves going and three horses are in one of the wagons). Unhitched Winnie seems fast, the reason it seems to have taken him so long to find Salem was that he had to track her scent. Hitched he seems like he oughta be able to catch up in little time. Though this blood-hop is appearently faster. Still, how many minutes will it take to travel through the Fire realm?

But how are they going to get back? Olwen told Salem that she had to remain behind as she was the only one who could open the portal back. And now Salem’s going in too?

I think there are going to be some very surprised (and sorry) Nazis in the very near future.
