Yeah... somehow I couldn't get the boys to have a fraternal heart-to-heart to echo the girls'...
For those who like to imagine behind-the-scenes shenanigans, and enjoy a tight sense of causality, it's entirely possible that the boys overheard last week's chitchat between Chris and Sarah, and Jareth was probably a little bit stung and envious of the ultimately trusting rapport between Christine and Erik... and decided to stir the pot, just for the evulz.
suggested to me some time ago that the Goblin King would definitely be a fan of Takeshi's Castle ( this [link] sort of thing). I totally agree.
This was another last-minute inspiration episode - the current situation is quite the goldmine for just letting the characters play themselves out...

and... I really like how Jareth's speech bubbles went from fairly standard, to self-loathing villainous grey to I'd-be-nearly-pitch-black-but-then-nobody-could-read-them in such a short time. And then back to bog-standard as he's brushing of Erik's attempts to help.
I'm also curious about the picture on the wall that we see in the 3rd line, first panel. What is it of?
Google translate seems to think that Erik is speaking Catalan...is he speaking some interesting dialect of French? *knows next to nothing about the subject but finds it interesting* I totally thought the "teeter" was referring to Erik's emotions on whether manly feels-sharing was in order. Then I read the next panel. Well done. Sorry for spamming your inbox--I didn't have an account when I read most of these, and procrastination is a bitch.
I knew it was paint, even when I saw this in the webshow, but seriously Jareth! Stop moping and ragging on your roommate, though it is fun to watch Erik squirm here. I should cut out my tongue just for saying that. Notice my username.

No prob. Comments are nice!
PLUS the drawing of his moods... simply beautiful! This arc is possibly an illustration of Jareth battling his Fae nature / training.
