Held, grown in tanks, what’s the difference, really?
This week’s Spider Forest Comic of the Week is Twilight Lady, an urban fantasy about an immortal, the Nameless Lady in the Hood, trapped within the body of a young musician named Jen.

I’m quite interested in how she is presenting this information to Silence without really giving any information away.
He’s just getting the “audio.” As the audience in the know, we’re privileged to her visual memories, but poor Silence doesn’t know any of that.
And she’s certainly making it sound a lot simpler than we know it was!
Well, that certainly will add to the sympathy quotient. Nice job of revealing part of the truth.
Thank you!
Lol, I love the disconnect between ‘we managed to escape’, which makes them sound like helpless innocent fugitives (probably how Silence imagines them, idenfying with them through memories of his own flight from the orphanage) and, well, the reality
Yeah, he probably imagines fewer lab techs screaming and clawing at the walls to escape.
Nothing ruins your day quite like a group of enraged, rampaging shoggoths on the loose. They’re so hard on the carpeting.
That being said, doesn’t Carter know that Whateley, at least, is still alive?
She does, but mentioning that to Silence would bring up all kinds of questions (like “Why haven’t I met him?”) especially since Whateley is currently cluttering up her apartment.
I love getting more of Carter’s back story! And the way she tells it!
Thanks! I’m looking forward to eventually getting into her “creation” story.
