NewMM is in a completely unwarranted panic, she didn’t actually do anything illegal…. well… until she stole a car…. and assaulted Sparkle (But no one ELSE knows but her!) I still think that driving over to Junior’s place would be her instinct, at a time like this.
As I was saying a few days ago, MM is just panicking and heading off to “anywhere but here.” She does have reason to panic because she was taken by surprise to find that she seems to be an accessory in a major crime. She didn’t see that coming at all. She was so happy that she was sure she was going back to the moon and now … this!
I’m not so sure that MM/Mysta is fading off into the night right now. It looks like her escape to destinations unknown is taking her to Dairyland, and that could very well be the place where Sparkle Plenty was taken. We have to get back to Sparkle sooner or later, and she was obviously taken to a farm (lots of fertilizer being the clue) in some rural area (we saw an open field with coniferous trees when last we saw her). At some point, we will meet up with MM again and maybe Sparkle, too.
In the meantime, we probably have to get back to “the doctors” and gang. I’m not at all sure how that scenario is working out. All we know so far is that it doesn’t look good for Bardoll.
@Stipple: As for meeting vehicles coming at her at high speed, she does seem to be going the right way. The vehicle on the left is obviously pointed the same way she is (note the mirrors) and the vehicles at the top are on the other lanes. The “Dairyland” sign is in a strange spot, but I think that’s just artistic license to make a better spot for the thought bubble. It looks like she’s exiting and considerable time has probably passed between panel 2 and panel 3. She is in the “exit only” lane, so it looks like she’s getting off the highway there.
Mysta, sweetheart, you’re MOON MAID. You go anywhere you please! Try Hollywood, get an agent, hit the talk show circuit, get a book deal, baby you’re BIG TIME! I can see it now, “Transformers 5 – Moon Maid meets Megatron.”
Clone-Moon Maid is in an unwarranted panic. Why didn’t she just wait for Detective Tracy instead of breaking out of Smith Enterprises in a mad dash to, as it may turn out, Dairyland [reminds me of Sugar Land, outside of Houston]? (Aside, of course, from “because that’s the way the story is written.”)Her thoughts for Stellaluna and Retik are understandable, since they have been her caregivers while Dr. Sail was doing what he did (cloning, plastic surgery, brainwashing, memory implantation—any or all of the above, or other possibilities as well). But she sometimes seems to be aware of things that are happening to which she has not been privy….
Oh! I hope she finds Junior’s missing wife, makes up nice and rescues her! I also hope we find out what happened to the moon people and maybe get MM, Stellaluna and Retik off to join them in the end.Good Morning, VB and all!
Douglas County is a fair drive from Chicago. That’s Superior’s county, across the St. Louis from Duluth. Welcome to Wisconsin, Moon Maid. Watch out for Badgers…..they nibble.
accessory to fraud is probably the LEAST of this things offenses… she’s got grand theft auto on her rap sheet as well as assault and battery…and WHY would she even TRY to rescue/save sparkle?!?! maybe y’all dont remember when she zapped her to high hell an dleft a threatening note attached to sparkle’s shirt. even tho it blew away, it’s still out there somewhere.. i bet blaze rize is gonna find it :) (for those of you who NEED it.. the blaze rize comment was a joke)
Tiny stem-cell livers grown in laboratoryI wonder if it it is an off-shoot of Dr. Sails work. (grin)Interesting how Mike has once again given us a story that coincides with World events.
I doubt that anyone will press charges on auto theft. I still think she’s more of a victim than a criminal. I think that Diet has some sympathy for her situation.

Exit 14-Dairyland, is that where that pickup truck was heading?

Looks like she is getting off at the Dairyland exit. Isn’t that where the pickup truck with the fertilizer (& guest rider) was heading to?

“Accessory to fraud!”Mysta, honey, that’s actually accessory to murder. Also, no accessory about this one, you’re committing grand theft auto. :)

Poor Moon Maid. Is it possible she will regret what she did to Sparkle and end up actually rescuing her?
