#169 – He’s Had a Lot of Time to Think this Through
FW’s a lot more observant than you might think at first! He’s trusting and all, but not an idiot. 
Whew! One more of these to go too! XD Nope, that’s only about half of what he’s figured out, lol. Which is basically what we all knew already. Next time is what we -don’t- know! Or what isn’t entirely obvious. I think.
Friday will be interesting in any case, okay? Its been a long weekend.
Anyway! Hope everyone’s weekend went alright! Mine was filled with heat and sun and wow its like 90+ in here, lol. I need an indoor swimming pool full of ice water. D:

AH! one of the gravest webcomic’s sins! more than the half of it’s Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V D=
Just kidding XD
Another logical observation:
“only the kidnapped one have been tagged” ^ “FW’s tag is the 9th” -> “there’re another 8 kidnappeds” ?
Heat problem? Two days ago we reach the 116F over here. If you dont have an swimming pool “on the rock” you could use the fridge as you new room

The tag’s for shipping purposes only! lol Billie was told he was getting free candy right? From a rusty white cargo van? … lol… Billie’s too cute to be in on it!! NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

yeah… I totally predicted this one.

Three strips ago I noticed Billie didn’t have a tag so once Forest figured something was fishy it pretty much added up. 2 + 2 is… 10 (in base 4)

I saw another possibility: see how Billie’s left ear is cut? maybe there was a tag there, that he lost in an accident or sth. Also, nice GLaDOS reference! ^_^ Portal 4ever!

“Elementary, my dear Billie!” Come on, am I the the only one who thinks FW is a Sherlock Holmes fan? Sherlock himself would be proud.

More like THE AUTHOR of the comic is, FW is just an reincarnation of Holmes.

He is more polite then Holmes. Seen the newest show? ‘Sherlock’? It’s on Youtube. Really good.

I haven’t seen it! I’ll have to check it out.

If he is in on it, the case maybe that it was against his will. For all we know he may have never been outside in his whole life. He’s just a patsy. He is as much a pawn in all this as Forrest.

On top pf that, Billie has a notch in his left ear. He may have had a tag at one point!

Oh, I didn’t notice that. So he could be held against his will, but that doesn’t mean he’ll give up the chance to escape and leave Forest. He might regret it later, but wouldn’t you do that if there were, or have seemed to been, only one choice? (I think that’s a run-on sentence)
My guess is, Billy will snap and make a break at the door, but knowing our junior Sherlock Holmes, he would scare him into submission (thus having force applied to the switch) before leaving the facility. Cruel, but necessary. Or… maybe something more of a happy ending?

TA-DA!!! thumbs up for noticing that, we have higher IQ!

Why is he/she blushing (I still don’t think it’s gender has been established)? I’d say that a cartoony small-pupil large eye with a more worried-looking face would be much better.
Unless Billie isn’t in on it.

ah-ha! spah! i was right and get to keep my bacon sandvich! muhahaha!

Aww, it was only the double agent plot twist? I thought it would be something more dramatic. (Perhaps it’s just me because I write stories)
Now the one thing I’m stumped on is what Lex wants with FW. His main focus is how friendly FW is so… does he want to take advantage of his kindness to make Lex’s enemies lower their guard? Oh whatever, I’ll just continue to read and find out.
This arc seems to be coming to an end and I hope you make Billie a main character (He’s the most adorable character you’ve drawn so far ^-^).

EXPOSED!!
Wow, you are a really good writer to have put all those minor clues and hints in your story, and I bet you have more to come for us in the future. I admire your talent. You are an inspiration that I am greatful to have met. It is truly an honor. I plan to stay on this ride ’til the end. Keep up the good work!

Guess its good not to poke somenones eye out with em

So, is Billie going to experience any cognitive dissonance, or was his whole personality just a façade?
Reply
I’d go with entire personality is a facade, otherwise he’s the perfect patsy.

OMG, how come we get to be this mindless?? C’mon, WHY do we get to like (and follow) EVERY webcomic in sight?! There’s something VERY wrong with us…
P.S.: notice the “we” all over the sentence, I’m included too

Well, FW -is- a clever wolf! Those are rather good points he has made, especially since like he said, he was kidnapped and has been meandering through all sorts of puzzles and stuff for who knows how long!
