Nah, if Google was entwined with MIB, they wouldnt show it at all, seems to me.

or have 'strategically placed clouds'... :p

It looks like Tsillah's light does not cast her shadow. Could this be because she IS the shadow around them" Also, Lily, being a supe herself, should know that just because someone (or something) looks like a little girl, that deos not mean it is! Silly vampire!

That's because Tsillah's "physical form" doesn't actually exist

[Just Old Al]

Part of me suggests that you drive up from Narragansett to Cranston to check it out. The better part of me says don't do it, we'd never hear from you again.

I grew up in Woonsocket - even at that I wouldn't wish Cranston on my worst enemies - never mind anyone with the taste to acquaint themselves with the Wapsiverse.

Well, let's just say that her "physical form" is distinctly conditional, and subject to negotiation, whim, and a really odd sense of fashion.

We've seen that she is (or can be) physically "there" enough to carry around real objects, such as her notebook and pen - if these had been purely illusion or shadow-stuff then I doubt Shelly would have been able to use them to give her a real autograph.

I get the feeling that Tsillah is a bit like a holodeck projection with free will - she's physically present (and capable of interacting with solid matter) to the degree that she happens to want to be, at any particular moment. Hmmm... I wonder whether her "focus of attention" and projected form is limited to being in one place at a time, or whether she's able to manifest herself in two or more locations at once?

There were plenty of aliens in the MIB movies' MIB... why shouldn't there be supernaturals in the Wapsiverse's MIB? And we still don't know of any demons being part of the MIB so far. All we know is that it was created by the GGs, has a titan in its midst (Tsillah), and two vampirers have just been added to their roster.

And if you really and truly feel that the comic has jumped the shark a long time ago, what are you doing still reading it?

[My2Cents]

When she says welcome to the MIB she's hopefully referring to the organization and not it's main location. Surely they have better facilities than some dank, so-dark-even-a-vampire-can't-see, cave. Assuming they are in a cave and Tsillah isn't also creating the background and everything.

They might be in the boiler room of the Library Annex, Tsillah appears to know it well http://wapsisquare.com/comic/kidding-me/.

(snip, snippity...)
The early-20th-century pulp-fiction-and-radio character "The Shadow" went by the name of Lamont Cranston. "Lamont" is derived from an old Norse name meaning "lawman" but it's also similar in sound to French phrasing meaning "the mountain".

So, I Googled around for a location involving Cranston, and mountains... and Google found one decent correspondence between the two terms, that being "Mountain Laurel Drive" in "Cranston, RI".

apaologies for lateness.. had a really awfull cold..

- more research needed... If you know the old 'dark shadows' TV series, it is based in Collinwood Mansion, near Collinsport, Maine... the real location is here..

I must have missed the johnny depp film, but got it on disc, great stuff!

and yes, there is one near Minneapolis! - Collinwood Township, Meeker County, Minnesota..

Oh, hey, aren't you the guy who biatched about how Jeph Jacques drew one of his characters in a bikini?

Tsillah is a creature of shadows - EDITED

Only the shadow knows... and she isn't telling (yet).

So Tsillah is The Shadow! She just made herself look like Lamont Cranston!

I wonder how Margo Lane feels about that?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have over 300 episodes of 'The Shadow' on my iPoot <3

Oh please - I hafta drive past and thru Creeeanston on rte 95 and rte 10 every day! And spending my late teens and twenties in Foster certainly shows that there's a rift in the multiverse somewhere. If you are familiar with HP Lovecraft, I lived on his grandmother's (the Place family) farm for quite a few years. And thereby hangs more than a few tales.......

Cuthullu be praised, yes, I am very familiar with HP's works - growing up 20 miles (and 80 years) apart tends to generate a certain fascination...

Having been a field service engineer in RI lo these many years ago i spent a lot of soul-sucking time down in that part of the state...insurance companies...{shudder}.

Tsilly is certainly a cheerful little imp. Sort of resembles a chipmunk in the 3rd panel. Wait till Lily finds out the little girl she thinks she is talking to isn't actually Tsillah either.

When she says welcome to the MIB she's hopefully referring to the organization and not it's main location. Surely they have better facilities than some dank, so-dark-even-a-vampire-can't-see, cave. Assuming they are in a cave and Tsillah isn't also creating the background and everything.

I don't think she transported them anywhere. They're right there on the street, obscured from view by Tsillah's power. They couldn't see because they were enveloped in pure elemental shadow.

But you have to admit, she gives a whole new interpretation to "Men (or Vamps) in Black" . . .
