The Issue of Pants: Summer Knight
« 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.

There are things I just don't think about.
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

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 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.
