Swan Eaters by Georgia Dunn for October 12, 2020

Well, they managed to save Ivan anyway. Where’s everybody else?

Oh, I know! They defeated Wigglesworth’s brothers, he’s now king of a happy and prosperous people and Vesper chose to stay with him as his queen? That’s what happened, right? And they’re living happily ever after!

Right?

Looks like so far, no Vesper, Wiggie or Clover. Wow Pilot grew up and dang poor Ivan. Then again he wasn’t too bright but still. Can’t wait till more is revealed.

And Clover is just asleep, hidden in Winnie’s fur, RIGHT?

(Something I read in the ’70s)

There once was a lady named Bright

whose speed was much faster than light

she left one day

in a relative way

And returned the previous night.

Pepper missed Salem. Looks how she clings to her. I love it.

Is that poof of fluff in the last panel Winnie’s arm hugging Salem?

Is that Clover, transformed into a baby Winnie, atop Winnie’s head? And is that Kevin next to her?

OK, more questions now arise!

Just looked back at the placeholder strip https://www.gocomics.com/swan-eaters/2020/08/07 and it’s now confirmed that the injured blinded character in the front is Ivan. Does this mean that the two skulls next to him are Wigglesworth and Vesper? Pepper is looking at them rather sadly, and Wigglesworth was stabbed by his brothers before being dragged through the portal. Going by the characters shown in that strip Clover must be around somewhere, Hickory is taking an interest in the creature on Winnie’s back, so that could be Clover transformed, and is that another small creature between Winnie’s horns I see?

Maybe that’s Clover, transformed into a Baby Winnie, on top of Winnie’s head. And is that Kevin up there, right next to her?

I’m done speculating. This is too confusing for me.

Oh no – what about the two skulls on the bottom of the 08/07/2020 strip? Please that isn’t – no can’t be I hope.

Where is Clover?

When last seen, Vesper and Wiggleworth had been transported into a very strange place. Maybe they are still there. Maybe Olwen couldn’t find them, There’s obviously a big story about rescuing Ivan.

That other monster type on top of Wigglesworth looks like the familiar Olwen had a picture of and said that old familiars are never far away….

Also, Salem and Clover will now be the same age…

…where is Clover?…

…and it looks like Winnie has a baby??…

Did Pilot have a Lasik procedure? Is Ivan recovering from a Lasik procedure?

Ooohhh…Pilot’s grown up into a hottie! ;-)

Where’s Clover?

Georgia seems to be very good at keeping us guessing and waiting to see what comes next. Unfortunately we can’t peek at the ending to see what happens. Great storytelling.
