I just noticed the cute way Tina has her lower lip caught as she worries in Panel One.

I believe "Blackwing's" first appearance was 16 November 2007: Let Me Help You

Her home is another matter, perhaps she rents. But it's within walking distance, no regular gas bill. Apart from food and... costuming... she doesn't seem to spend anything on herself, certainly not her living space.

There's always the pizza girl. She spends money on pizza, no anchovies. Because demon food.

Re: Out All Day 2013-10-23
What Tina spends her money on:
- Rent for shop (or, if owned, mortgage for shop)
- Coffee beans for shop
- Baked goods through Becky
- Power/light/water/sewer for shop
- Rent for "home" near shop
- Utilities not paid for by rent
- Pizza for demons
- Occasional bottle of wine
- Kittie food (though we haven't seen kittie much as of late)
- Clothes (not as often)
- Occasional makeover (hair-do, war-paint, etc.)
- Maybe a car (that she doesn't use - because lack of coordination?)

Ain't a typo. After all Tina will be skipping to the loo soon.Dave wrote:Fixed your typo there.Catawampus wrote:Tina outnumbers them. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the loo, right?
Actually Monica and Jet outnumber Tina. Tina has one body with many demons and you cannot count each demon as one, just one part of the body. Monica and Jet are two bodies. Either way things will soon go to pot.
Take that any way you want. Coffee, ceramic, cooking, or worse.
Ambush questions are fun. Watching the mental impact of them as they distort, or crumble, opinions based on faulty logic.

Coming up next! Stay tuned for The New Adventures of Blackwing and Thundermug!
I'm not sure how well this breakfast-time serial will sell commercials for breakfast-time cereal.

Paul hasn't actually gone from wire-sharp focus to soft focus, but that's kind of the effect that going from the limited tonal range in the previous few pages to the extended range in today's has in my eyes.

Re: Out All Day 2013-10-23
As far as I can tell, it was only visibly absent on October 7. It was back the next day, and in subsequent panels it's either visible, or her head is positioned so it wouldn't be seen anyhow.jwhouk wrote:You know, I just noticed that Tina's "tail" is back...
Further evidence, I suppose, that although Tina may be buying her coffee beans and other supplies wholesale, she runs a retail establishment.

Re: Out All Day 2013-10-23
She said that she bought the shop cheap (Something bad happened in the basement before she got there) back when Monica was trying to get to know her. That may be telling that she paid cash and has no mortgage.jwhouk wrote:What Tina spends her money on: Rent for shop (or, if owned, mortgage for shop)

You can know about a prophecy and even know it applies/will apply to you, but not know the "when, where, why, how". Otherwise Oedipus would never have set foot in Thebes...[/quote]tripodcat wrote:I dunno guys...as FPF pointed out, the Blackwinged Tina image isn't really a new thing...and didn't she say something about being one of the winged beings in a prophecy? If Blackwing was really that new of a creature, I doubt that Tina (either the full Collective or Blackwing itself) would know already about this prophecy and that it involved her.
Of course you can know about a prophecy and that it applies to you...I was merely stating that it seemed odd to me for her to know that she was one of the objects of the prophecy if Blackwing was such a new creation...meaning if Blackwing was as new as some folks have suggested (i.e. that she's the evolution of Tina into a soul or having a soul or something akin to that), then it stands to reason that she may not be fully aware of what she is just yet...and if she's not fully aware of what she is, then how could she know that she's part of that prophecy? Prophecies are rarely so specific that a newly created being could immediately know that she's involved in any way. That's why I think that Blackwing isn't a new thing...well that and the fact that we saw her before Nudge was ever ejected.
