He realized it now? I thought it should’ve been obvious when Tula told him he’s an enchanter.

I think the way you portrayed Mentl’s mental breakdown here is magnificent. It really makes you feel how he feels, detached from the world while other people speak to him but he doesn’t really hear it, seeing images and pictures from the past flooding by too fast to hang on to. Absolutely great, it’s moments like these that keep me coming back no matter how long I’m gone. Thank you for a great comic.

I stand by my ‘Take the Armor off’ position. If only because it involves nudity.

Everyone is speculating, so I will too.

Zona is enchanted by Mentl and his songs, but only in the purely secular sense. Everyone is remembering that Mentl’s spells affect people. Tula was driven into lust after Mentl played “Wild Thing” and Zona was quite hot for him afterwards as well, BUT in the same story arc Tula sees Vito without problem but Zona doesn’t have even a glimmer that he is there.

I’m sure that Zona can be hurt by physical magic, but the sort that plays on the mind - bupkis. I’d guess she’s immune to that type and loves Mentl only because of his “funniness”.

I was a teenage boy with a guitar in the 70s. A hot chick like Zona, and you KNOW that Mentl was trying to make her like him, and want to get in her skirt.

But to TRUELY LOVE someone, you have to like them first. Coming at love from the pure lust side is usually a formula for disaster. Speaking from experience here.

@reddwarf: I don’t think she’s enchanted either but I’m thinking that Mentl is going to convince himself she is because part of him thinks that’s the only way someone like her could ever love someone like him. Yes, I think we’re headed for a Mentl breakdown. (ducks and runs)

Poor Mentl - major gut punch there — the possibility is certainly there. However, I don’t really think Zona is “enchanted” - at least not like that (and I expect to hear from her most emphatically in a little bit). It was never Mentl’s *intention* to do so, and that’s very important for the effects of his magic - though he does leak a huge amount of power. I think his ghostly mentor will have something to say to help him get back on his feet though.

I understand John. Great and powerful scene and a very important one. The show must go on (from another John )

Given that Mentl has self-esteem problems I’m fearing for the worst.
