Since it's called the Poseidon Resort . . .

Probably Hestia. So we know there ARE still gods on Earth. It would probably be best for humanity not to cross them by attacking their children.

Most likely there are gods on Earth today, though they're low-key, not the drama queens that so many of the Greek gods were.

my theory is that the "Shadow Government" talked about here, and the "immortal Politicians" from the Calendar Machine arc, are the SAME GROUP of people... the reference to how they are immortal, but CAN BE KILLED (how the Timekeepers got killed off)

Everything can die, saw off the head of one of those immortal politicians and they are dead, end of conversation, set the body on fire and encase the actual head in molten Lucite and arrange on a nice shelf. End of problem.

or the whole thing was faked??? bodies killed off, to be replaced with different ones... have you seen the film Zardoz???

Or they are like the jaguar girl - atomize the body, the spirit comes back in a fresh body.... [/quote]

Zardoz was the most boring movie I have seen so far. Only Paul knows if they cannot die like the GG, or if they are like the Jaguar Girl and if killed just return in a younger body. Personally I would destroy their bodies in an atomic blast followed by an anti-matter blast, reduce everything to sub-atomic shatter.

Okay, the characters in this strip:

First panel: Cassi McGuire (MIB special agent, vampire); Lorraine Foxglove (MIB special agent, paternal aunt of Calista); Paden (MIB special agent, not listed but likely also a vampire).
Second panel: Marius (MIB special agent, not listed but possibly a werewolf?)
Third panel: Cassi and Lorraine again.

I'd have two paras and two humans . . . if all are in agreement under certain conditions, then they can act.

You do have to be careful with that, of course.

Werewolf is unlikely - vampires are drawn toward law enforcement and stuff, but werewolves are drawn toward art and writing.

This is stated by Guidance to Jet when they are talking to one another on the rooftop, when Guidance accidentally clues Jet in on the whole Para world.

That episode still seems awfully "accidental" to me.

That doesn't mean they can't be...

No. Just improbable. As in "I wouldn't bet on it."

As long as something is possible, no matter how improbable it is, a sufficiently large number of opportunities makes it nearly certain to happen at least once.

Could start as a police artist and discover artistry in a well-handled investigation . . .

...and the dumber it is to do it, the more quickly someone will do it.

Quite possibly someone smart.

Over at the Misfile forum, it's considered Bad Form to do certain things without warning people.

Kat may not seem to move in that strip - until she moves. Check her eyes.
