Grrl Power #1472 - Impaleus interruptus (Patreon)

Thank you for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

Gosh guys, what could suddenly cause Ixah to rush off? 

My table at Vicente's is ready! 

I have a roast in the oven!

I left the curling iron on! 

I have to go bet more money that I'm about to stab this guy!

My brother just went into labor! (Max doesn't have a sister, so...)

The warranty on this sword is about to expire!

I could have had a V8! (Yes, I'm old.)

There's a tiny lizard on the sand behind you! Eek!

Damn! I think I left my ear in the taxi! (See... cause Max is touching where her ear should be, but her disguise covers her ears completely with hair. Ah, yes. Jokes are always better when explained.)

You know, the number of comics I've titled "Something something interruptus" is like... well, it's like 3 or 4 I think. But I guess that still kind of makes it my go to for titling a page when I'm stuck for something more poignant. Then again, a lot of pages do end in some sort of minor cliffhanger. I really wouldn't even call something like this a cliffhanger. A cliffhanger implies there's some significant wait before the action resolves. You can end a movie or a TV show or a novel or even an issue of a comic with a cliffhanger. But not on a page within a comic, or, in my opinion, the scene in a TV show right before you cut to commercial. I'm sure there's a word for that, but I don't think it qualifies as "cliffhanger," especially when the season is available on DVD and viewers can watch the episode straight through. I mean, yeah, in this webcomic, there will be a 4 day delay until the next page, but any time after that, someone can just read straight through the archive and this page won't have a bit of suspense. 

Not that it really does, anyway. I think most of you can probably guess what's going on.
