THE MAID IN THE IRON MASQUE
By:

Wow. No arguing? No snappy back talk?

This must’ve really hit Eleanor hard.

You have to understand. Eleanor really does love Anya. And she has a deep and long-standing love for anything royal. And possibly a conscience? Okay, maybe that’s going a little too far.
But still…
So there you have it. Anya Langerak is possibly next in line for the Chuckleslovakian throne. And possibly in grave danger, should the Brungarians ever find out who she is.
Coming soon-Eleanor makes a decision, and comes to a realization. More of a revelation, perhaps. Stick around.

“What?! You’re Christer Bjorkman’s heir to the title of Melodifestivalen producer and director?! I never saw this coming!!!”

Yup, I can see where Eleanor is coming from now 😛

1958? One of the finest comic creators I’ve ever known was born that year.

Having been born in 1958 I know that this is a highly alternative AU. Aside from Chuckleslovakia and the flying cars and the Discombobulatron and…

Oh, Eleanor’s curiosity will definitely be piqued by the idea of Anya’s twin.
But how to tell them apart? One will address Eleanor as “mistress.” The other has been raised as a future queen in a very old fashioned country.

I just realized…

There’s a twin of Anya that we’ve not yet met. More important, ELEANOR has not yet met.

Eleanor is resilient. She will soon find it in herself to stop worrying about how she’s treated Anya all this time – after all, Anya was nothing if not “co-operative.” (so to speak) But…

It’s going to be really, really, REALLY interesting to see how she deals with Anya’s twin. Will she even realize she’s dealing with the twin at first?

Stay tuned… more to follow.

Thanks! Floofie will show up in another strip very soon, albeit in a different guise.
Eleanor has always cared for those close to her. She just shows it in a, shall we say, unique manner.

Ha-ha! Good call, mj!
You know, I hadn’t even thought of that. This could be a different universe Eleanor. Hmm….
Eleanor wanting to atone for something is amazing, I’ll admit. But we’ve seen flashes of humanity in her before. Gimme an hour or two, and I’ll find examples.
Mind you, she’s just had a huge shock. Imagine someone you’ve loved for years and years was revealed to be the heir to the throne of Liechtenstein. Wouldn’t you be taken aback a bit?

Ah, but is that what they want Eleanor for? What part will she play?
And are they going to reveal who Anya truly is?
Stay tuned!

Wow. If she’s going into the royal limelight now, she has some spectacular skeletons in her closet for the gossip media to dig up. So, paparazzi and international assassins in her future.

Eleanor wanting to atone!? It’s either a very dire situation indeed or we got the wrong Eleanor back after all. Or the world is ending. Or Eleanor had a soft side all along that you are only masterfully revealing at this moment.

Either way, I always love how you do flashbacks. Just enough to wet our appetites while still keeping us in suspense.
