I love how Charlie just dropped off when he realized what Shirley meant about the fat guy. I'm at the edge of my seat for the next update already!!

Double post, but I also love how you had to squint to read over the darkened HueHue signs. Interesting touch!

Hmm, I do not know if revealing that he is still back on Erf was the smartest move Parson could make. It did ruin Charlies turn though.

I have to assume Parson didn't know that Charlie tried to get rid of him, because it seems weird to reveal the attempt failed. Maybe I'm missing something.

Haven't seen the pipes screensaver in a while. And Jed's obsession with the Kipi'd portals may be infectious...

Gosh, that's beautiful. Words as a superficial expression of pure Signamancy, and I think it is highly probable that Signamancy originates at the Source, because that is where it is most pure. It seems HueHue got named in the first panel of 304: http://archives.erfworld.com/Book%203/304Quaint. Reminds me of that Black Spiral Dancer who got named after the sound of herself passing wind right after she emerged from the Black Spiral.

Ha! The Temple-Language sounds like the grownups from Charlie Brown. Love it!

Awesome update. And although I share the disappointment that Parson tipped his hand, first I don’t think it’s clear that Parson knows that Charlie is unaware, second I don’t think it’s obvious that Parson knows he was destined for Stupidworld but for Jed’s intervention, third Jed may have tipped Parson’s hand inadvertently, and fourth I’m convinced Charlie would have figured it out quickly, anyway, given his spy network.

Shit just hit the fan for Charlie. Not only is Parson still active, but now Shirley is curious as to what Charlie is really up to.
This has some VERY interesting implications. The biggest being "can a Carnymancer carny a Temple?" and "Can a Temple give orders to a Ruler?".

Please change the color of all the black logo symbols under the text, it is too difficult to read the text on top of it.

Having grown up in the midwest and having been asked, by my own mother "You wanna tell me anything about that?" I can tell you that Chralie is well and truly fucked in this negotiation. She'll throw the thing as a punishment. He's going to lose access to extra-universe channels for a month. Also: if she really forces him not to have a shocked connection to the dish... Charlescomm as we know it is kinda... over. Charlie without juice for infinite calls and spells? Charlie as he was after Lilith blew his shit up? That's not the Charlie that can take over the world. He better find a slick way to make his mom I MEAN SHIRLEY think this isn't what it looks like. I know a bit about that too.
EDIT: I'm not crazy, right? We've never heard of him running out of juice because of his drawing directly from the portal? Maybe this isn't actually Decided.

Jed really does look like MCP (to me anyway) from the Tron series.
A part of me really wants to see this "source", another is fairly disinterested in it.
Parson is in a very unique position to screw EVERYTHING up. And I do mean everything. He can parlay for TV AND he can make threats and change things for Wanda and to top it all off, with his lack of full information, he may not even know he's doing it!
Indeed, if Parson manages an "idiot" move here I'd be fairly tempted to believe that it is a set up for him to pull a genius one later.
I'll say it, this is getting exciting.
I also wonder if Charlie's going to find a way to "Signamancy-express" in such a way that Shirley eventually starts to feel his pain and tries to do something to fix that. A villain with such a crippling weakness just feels... less worth it to defeat.

Very interesting update for new support for the balance / sum zero / equal and opposite reaction theories.
This'll get real interesting if Parson's intent can somehow be broadcast through Jed.
