Friday figures you have probably memorized it by now, but here is the game board that you can smugly not look at :

King: Riff
Queen: Oasis
Rook-1: Crushestro
Rook-2: Brain Digbot
Knight-1: Isabella
Knight-2: Zark
Bishop-1: Aylee
Bishop-2: Gwynn
Pawn-1: Theresa
Pawn-2: unknown
Pawn-3: unknown
Pawn-4: Percy
Pawn-5: Chen
Pawn-6: Strom
Pawn-7: Sharron
Pawn-8: PLG

And now you know...er...I mean, of course you did!

Ha! Beat you to it, Zil. (See spec forum)

Back to the strip, I think that Sam, assuming that truly is Sam, looks really odd in the first panel.

Edit: And Torg has an answer to his question from 2 days ago.

It would appear that Sam is at Minion Master Hideout #13. (MMH #13). Now the big question is... Was that the real Minion Master who texted, or someone pretending? Well, Izzy thinks it is at least.

Oh crap. If he really is alive, then "The Prophecy" has a chance to come true.

Sam has two modes. Normal (where he has normal ears and teeth and his natural light brown skin, and his full on vampire mode where he gains pointy ears and teeth and his skin becomes super pale white.
Granted its really hard to show the brown-->pale white in black and white strips.
And he may be in the dark and the light is reflecting off of his eyes maybe. If he is still in America it would be nighttime and he doesn't have a reason to turn on the lights so the screen's light would reflect in Sam's eyes.

Not only is our man Sam back, but so is Minion Master who's not being dead raises some interesting spec.

This strip is really confusing, but the way IM reading it:

Torg sent sam the text
The text, being on a generic MM device, uses minion masters face (mask) as an avatar
Sam, being an idiot, mistook the avatar for being the real MM
Torg, not being able to see what sam sees, thinks Sam saw the real MM
SOMEONE pops the scrambler, probably Izzy, not 100% clear why.

Sotanaht, the way it reads, it seems like Torg is about to send an acknowledgement, but he's interrupted by a different acknowledgement. (and I'm pretty sure Torg can see what we saw, since it's still from the perspective of his viewscreen)

The question is, who acknowledged? The next thing we see is Izzy all teary-eyed, but for all we can tell, she was the one who sent it.

Ah I see that now. Thanks.

...But of course. Still, I will look back at this table just to remind myself of how much I know.

I didn't read that as her sending it. I assumed she was teary eyed because MM is her brother who she also thinks/thought was dead.

This is so confusing. At least we know that's probably the real Sam, based on his behavior.

So Izzy is already well into her drug abuse habit, and she's in a place with a boarded-up window? Does that mean she's already escaped hC somehow?

Her scrambler is popped too, so either she hit them all or somebody else is involved.

I feel as though this strip is supposed to make far more sense than it ended up making.

I suspect that soon it will make more sense. This doesn't have the flavor of dangling reference, nor dangling plot thread.

Unless you are listing the speccer's pronouncement here, it's not spec. You could of even said that it was specifically swmartian's spec you were referring to if you had wanted.

Jaw dropped. So if I understood today's comic correctly, it would appear that I was right on TWO pieces of spec - in ONE week!! I'm never right with my spec. Something is wrong with the universe... <does the "I specced right" dance!!>

...I just hope that either I'm not right at all on the second half of my Sam spec, or that I am 100% right.... But 100% right will take a while to play out. I hope I'm right.... :sam:
