My favorite is this circumstance was always being told, “Well, you might be sweet but you’re not sugar so you won’t melt!”. ^_^
*thinks for a moment*
Actually, if I were Ginny and the Oz analogies are still in play I’d take the fact that I’m not melting as A Very Good Sign as to what my alignment has become these days. Perhaps she should try clicking her heels together 3 times? ^_~
To be frank, she should have given a thought to getting an umbrella. But then again, I’m sure that any useful survival tools would be inconveniently out of reach.
I have glasses and can attest. Which is why I have a military poncho with a baseball cap in my backpack during the summer, where sudden rainstorms are expected.
I usually have the baseball cap (or a cowboy hat) on my head, but I always have a (albeit not military) rain jacket and an umbrella in my truck. Just a little something I learned from my Dad (he was an avid golfer, and kept a rain jacket and rain pants in his car). You never know when you’re going to find yourself miles from home, and the weather decides to turn on you.
I grew up in imaginary Delaware, and blue skies changing in minutes to afternoon thunderstorms was a common hazard. It’s that west wind blowing humid air over the Doom Range and dropping the moisture on the leeward side.
That’ll teach you to tempt fate.
“Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day.” Go ahead and say it, Dr. Lee.
Yeah, but you have to sing it.

Wait… are we still doing Oz parallels? Now I feel like I’m missing something with the directions and terrain she was offered.
hmm… she might find a tin man in that angry orchard?
Perhaps a killer robot for the tin man?
“I’m melting!”
The last time I said that out loud California had seven years of drought.

I’m sure Nick taught Virginia to keep the walnuts.
Hopefully Aimee and Lovelace will show up to reprogram the simulator before gently letting her know she is now a brain in a jar…
GODOT lives on!
Every bit as cruel as real life, eh Ginny? ^_^
Shaenon, I love the underwater shimmer you put on Ginny in the last two frames. That’s beautiful work.
And the “Shaaaaa” sound effect is first-rate as well.
Not to mention the “Thoom”.
Aw, thank you! Pancha’s coloring helps.
“It could be worse.”
“How?”
“It could be raining.”
“You had to say it. You just had to say it.”
“I know. I’m ashamed of myself for doing so. Where do they sell umbrellas around here?”
“Back at the village, but they only accept skee-ball tickets”
“And is it also pronounced FROE-de-rick?” -_^
GOOD movie!
Bet that heavy rain is going to knock down a _lot_ of walnuts.
To be frank, she should have given a thought to getting an umbrella. But then again, I’m sure that any useful survival tools would be inconveniently out of reach.
For people who wear glasses, walking through rain is sheer hell. Or is that shear hell? Well, take my word for it. One of my words.

Ah… perhaps she will not be turned back by a giant weather balloon. Rather, by a large balloon of rainy weather.
She didn’t even say it couldn’t get any worse!
“Krak-THOOM.” Almost what was said when Jonah Yu was getting weather readings back at the safehouse.
I would’ve expected “kraka-DOOM”, what with this being the Forest of Doom and all.
Probably a Delaware accent.
I’m hoping she runs into Zombie Gnomes, bringing Shaenon’s utterly brilliant book into canon…
How did Shaenon and Jeff know there’d be hurricanes on the East Coast when they wrote this *months* ago?
It’s the RAIN OF DOOOOM.

I’m getting “Truman Show” vibes. 🙂
So, Dr. Lee, how are you enjoying the Pacific Northwest so far? ^___^
While I would agree, didn’t they already tell her she was in Delaware?
At least she won’t be hungry or thirsty now!
