Chapter 16 | Page 6b: Suffer in silence

Transcript

[Panel 1] (At a nearby watering hole...)
Matt the Henchman: I don’t get it! You’re the highest-ranked hench in the biz! What’s got you down?!

[Panel 2] (Argus the Minotaur sighs, sitting at the bar with Matt, drinking beer.)
Argus the Minotaur: sigh I used to hench with a woman. She was… amazing.

[Panel 3] (Flashback of Argus thinking about the past.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): I couldn’t bring myself to tell her how I felt about her because it woulda wrecked our working relationship.

[Panel 4] (Flashback continues.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): When she got promoted, I left henching and just… kicked around for a while.

[Panel 5] (Another flashback, showing Argus sneakily capturing Lightning Lady from behind.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): After years of trying to forget her, I decided to give it one more try.

[Panel 6] (Argus and Lightning Lady sit next to each other, playing video games.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): Now I’m back where I started. I’m henching again, and she’s close enough to touch, but too far to hold.
*Caption: After a brief stint at the Silver Agency.

[Panel 7] (Back at the bar, Matt looks at Argus.)
Matt the Henchman: So… what? You’re just gonna suffer in silence?

[Panel 8] (Argus grins sadly.)
Argus the Minotaur: Trust me. You do not want to hear a minotaur suffer out loud.

Patreon_textbug Patreon supporters over the $5/month level automatically get this monthly comic as part of their reward package! Or you could just subscribe to the comic itself for 99¢ a month. This month’s storyline is a continuation of the arc that started in June. Lightning Lady can’t face her mother’s disapproval so she goes on the hunt for someone to pretend to be her boyfriend. But she finds someone on a hunt of his own, and he’s not pretending. And for the Bonus Feature, we’ve got the entire two-month storyline that tells the real story behind the origin of the Memo. The Memo has always been one of my favorite characters — dating back as far as Greystone Inn when the character debuted as “the Narrator.” Well, the Narrator became the Memo. And, if you pay close attention to July’s comics, you’ll see that the idea of a sentient narration box is getting yet another twist.
