The Dreadful -- Chapter 8 - Page 3

The joke is......

Kit is six.

Actually, I got that Kit didn't know about the poet Edgar Allen (which was funny), and that's probably because she was young (and also seems to be the less intellectual - slightly higher on the CHA slightly lower on the INT, in Pathfinder terms), but I wasn't sure if you were hinting at anything larger (I figured it could be that I simply didn't know about something that I'd inevitably look up and educate myself about later).

Nope!

Still fun, though.

(Also, occasionally, explaining the joke is perfectly fine.)

Remember what El Sabueso was saying earlier about how he feels not taking Kit seriously? Doubt these chuckleheads are gonna last long.

Sabueso looks very unhappy in that last panel. I'm guessing he doesn't approve of prisoner abuse.

Sabueso does not take kindly to the abuse of HIS prisoners.

Basically Kit just assumed Poe's name was probably short for something because Kit is six and figures most names are probably sort for something. In fact, Poe's name is simply Poe and it's not short for anything.

Yep, I was definitely overthinking it.

The guy on the right in panel four looks like a white version of Lord Bowler from the Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

I really absolutely loved that show growing up.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Sabueso has had to deal with some form of institutionalized prejudice throughout his life, and has more sympathy for Kit and other Devilkin than most of his contemporaries?
I mean, sure, he looks human, but if he had that disproportionate bulk growing up, it isn't hard to imagine him being singled out for abuse.

Actually, do we know if Devilkin are allowed to marry? After all, I seem to recall it being said a while back that there are no male Devilkin, so any Devilkin so intent on marriage would be in an interracial relationship. I suppose there is no reason to assume that the period's biases against such relationships are present in the Dreadful universe, but then again, I see no reason to assume the opposite, especially in light of the rather defeated tone Claudia used to talk about Devilkin rights...

(Sorry if I rambled a bit there).

Rambling is perfectly fine on NPF!

If I stick with the origin story I have for El Sabueso then he SORT OF was met with prejudice. That's assuming I stick with it though. I might just have him be a total mystery man with no origin, which would fit better with his 90s Comics theme.
