Title: The Issue of Pants: Summer Knight
Post by: Orion Ultor on July 05, 2017, 10:32:43 PM
Hey, I was rereading plus rehearing, Summer Knight (audiobook) and I noticed that in the scene that Harry is speaking with Maeve there's something a bit…odd, let's say. See, I noticed that after he's dumped the ice water on himself to get his libido in check, he /never/ rezips his pants.

Now…how long did it take for him to notice that he forgot about it? Did Billy ever mention it, shortly thereafter, making fun of Harry? Or did nobody notice this fact at all, even when he jumped Aurora? Because if he went like that the entire book, I can't decide whether the facts is that he was either being brave as sh*t, an absolute doofus, somewhat creepy (/if/ his fly was down when when he was killing Aurora), or some combination of the above.

Thoughts?

This isn't an accident. He's never rezipped his pants.

Ever.

Heh. That does explain why Chairty knocks him on his ass /immediately/ after seeing Molly in the room in the next book.

Rule 1: A Wizard Arrives Precisely When He Means To.

Rule 2: No Zippers

I was using the TV Tropes guideline of the most recent books being spoilers unless that is a book reference. I do not think Harry would be a Doctor Who fan but I could see Butters.

That's fine in most cases, but we do get people here in the DF Book section that read the first couple and come to express their excitement, and happen upon unexpected spoilers.  Most recent book is usually good for the DF Spoilers section, especially right after a new release.

Good point I will avoid that in the future, new at commenting got guidelines for different websites confused, I often post different messages to different people live and learn :) On a different note I would like to see more Doctor Who references Harry seems like a fourth doctor guy.

He'd have to see it somewhere.  Eb doesn't seem like a Whovian, nor does Justin.  He saw some old shows somewhere, though, so he might have seen a bit.  Seems more likely that Butters and Molly would know about it, and he'd feel left out again.

I was thinking glancing a few episodes have no idea what was happening and be terrified that the Daleks were secretly Ancient Mai robots.

I published 77 strips before the comic site broke my account.  They were posted in the "I made an art" section of this site, but the links just broke this week because of Photobucket's new policies.  I'm going to get them reposted soon.  I just redid these tonight.

That was incredible! Quick question who were the two ladies on the far end on the last comic. I think one of them is Justine but the one with golden hair is leaving me blank.

Thank you! In any event Harry is lucky/unlucky to have the attention of all of these formidable women. Dinosaur Cowgirl might be his match though.

For those interested, I've reloaded the strips and reposted them here (http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,42526.0.html).
