Pratt?

I'm confused. Everyone seems to know that William's last name was Pratt all of a sudden and I don't know why. Please to explain?

I'm not having that for a minute. This comic makes altogether too many sweeping statements about William, Cecily, Halfrek, and the fate of William's acquaintances for my liking!

I read some of the comments to [livejournal.com profile] rahirah's post on the matter, but haven't looked too closely at the plot points in the comic. I have it pre-ordered, just because I'm a wee bit obsessive and I feel like I should have it.

BTW, got my Elements of Style yesterday. My knowledge of grammar is so lacking that I do better with the examples than with the text, but I'm relieved to note that my use of commas isn't completely wrong. :-)

Hee. The introduction to Elements - 'Omit needless words! Omit needless words! Omit needless words!' is far and away the funniest grammar book passage I've encountered :)

Ah - and it just occurs to me that my comment above was rammed with spoilers! I'm so sorry - what a moron I am!

No fear - it was nothing I hadn't read in [livejournal.com profile] rahirah's LJ. :-)
