Just a random thought… but didn’t the ships computer that trapped Wally and the other say the Captain came through from an alternate universe but never mutated? What if Aaron Marx was that Captain, and got a new ship because he crashed the last one? Might explain a few things.
I still feel bad for Lyn. Totally expected something else to happen to him and Aaron pulled a total unexpected left turn. Definitely good writing.
As for that purse- I’m gonna say not Holly’s. She did say at the baby shower that they were popular and hard to find, so it probably belongs to a patron of the café.
Holly was 6 months pregnant at the baby shower, and her friends probably did manage to get her to drink a bit.
Then the stress of arguing with Lyn, the hover car crash, and the death of Ethel and her husband (Which she obviously feels responsible for, since she had the Buddibombs.) caused her to drink heavily in secret from Lyn which could have caused or started a miscarriage.
The mutation (An exposure she could have gotten from contact with Ethel or something airborne from the plane crash) could have induced premature birth causing it to be stillborn when she was unconscious (Either asleep, but Im gonna say blacked out from drinking.)
That look is a look of pure shock, and her mind is snapping under the strain. Either way I know the next few comics are gonna be REALLY difficult… cause Lyn is still alive.
(EXCELLENT writing, Aaron! Keep up the great storytelling!)
