the magnus archives is a comedy

(ID under read more)

[ID: A four-panel  cartoon-style comic of Melanie and Basira from TMA. Melanie, standing in a room lined with cobwebs, says, raising her hands angrily, “No, I’m sure this is just the normal number of webs that grow up organically.“ Basira, looking placid and holding a flashlight, asks, “So – where are all the spiders?“ Melanie replies, “I – I mean, they hide. You know, it’s a thing they do, spiders; they hide.“ Basira replies, face still serious, “Perhaps they bugged out.” Melanie looks at her in complete shock. Jon pops his head up in the last panel, wide-eyed, as he asks, “Was that a joke?” The image under the cut is a transcript from MAG 147 of this same scene.

Character designs: Melanie has pale skin, shoulder-length brown hair dyed turquoise at the end, a turquoise shirt and jacket, and brown trousers. Basira has light brown skin and wears a turquoise hijab and a green jacket. Jon has brown skin, long, wavy brown hair, and a turquoise jacket.
