Thursday's Name of the Day

Henry Zeigland

In 1883, Henry broke up with his girlfriend. She was so distraught over this that she killed herself. Her brother did not take this so well and vowed vengeance against Henry. So he hunted Henry down, shot him in the head, and then took his own life.

Except Henry wasn't dead. The bullet merely grazed his face and embedded itself into a large tree behind Henry.

Many years passed and Henry decide to cut down that very tree. After trying axe and saw and not getting very far, he thought of a better way to speed things up. A few sticks of dynamite would definitely do the trick.

It did the trick alright. The dynamite launched the bullet out of the tree and re-embedded itself into Henry's skull. Killing him instantly.

Well, damn...

Died carrying a balloon.
Weird girl.

Does Oasis know Riff's laser cannons are inflatable? Putting a knife in her gut would be real effective, but if there was an actual metal cannon in the way it could deflect her aim, so you'd expect her to aim somewhere else. Unless she knows, in which case a gut shot takes out Sasha AND the cannon in one throw.

Finally, we get on with the story. Well lets see if Sasha really is a weird girl now

Well, poop.


And just think, this isn't the Friday strip.

Hmm. Mid-torso hit on the right hand side. Likely punctured lung, torn diaphragm, and possibly trauma to the liver. In panel 3 I'd say more lung than liver, in panel 6 I'd say more liver than lung, along with maybe damage to the gallbladder, and more worryingly, the inferior vena cava, if this medical diagram is anything to go by.

It's bad, but not immediately fatal, provided she gets medical attention very, very quickly.

Well, it's not in the heart.....

Still probably in something else important, though.

And I don't normally get too picky about the art, but the dagger looks to be in 2 different places in different frames.

Another hole in the gut for poor Sasha...

Moment of truth, people (unless Pete is really mean).

P.S. I'm keeping a close eye on her hand on that dagger.

Does Oasis run completely silently, with those shoes, in an echoey stairwell? Because surely Sasha would have heard her coming. If Sasha's still alive, I hope she manages to say "I quit" within the next 2 seconds because Oasis will not leave it at just one knife. I'm hoping there's more to Sasha's story, no matter which side she turns out to be on.

Guess she died not knowing Riff gave her a bad weapon. For the record though, I still don't trust her and I don't like the fact that Oasis is moving in closer.

Oh no!

Trust and belief and everything aside, I don't want her to die!

The last weeks have made me go from "don't trust her, Riff!" To "she might be telling the truth! And I do think she really likes you!"

And plus, Riff and Roth (at the moment anyway) don't seem to want her to die, so at the very least, this will hurt/complicate things

That

Exactly on both counts.
