Saying "I am Bangladesh Dupree" must avoid a lot of fighting/arguing. Reminds me of Sparafucile's evil grin. Bkharvey (talk) 04:37, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

P.S. Krosp's frown in the last panel is a little ungrateful considering Bang just saved his bacon. Bkharvey (talk) 04:41, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Not exactly a first, Captain Dupree NOT killing someone. (it's not at all clear to me why she didn't finish Lord Jaron, Martellus' chief assassin.) I expect Sparafucile's grin and Captain Dupree's reputation are more related than we've seen so far. Doug Relyea (talk) 05:11, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

She was interrupted by Gil telling her to untie the crew of the sea serpent. Bkharvey (talk) 05:27, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

From the pose she's in, she's acting like he's already subdued in some manner. Considering Jaron cut her the previous time she was distracted, I don't think she'd make the same slip twice.Doug Relyea (talk) 05:44, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Krosp I, Emperor of all Cats, gets no respect, just shot at. Captain Dupree, with the drop of her name, gets instant almost fawning respect. Doug Relyea (talk) 05:13, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Noticed an interesting feature of Bang's new hat. In panels 2 thru 5, it appears to be the hat of the former Captain. In the last frame it now bears a Skull. Doug Relyea (talk) 05:41, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

• That *is* interesting. Hobitofbree (talk) 05:44, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

It's cool to see Bang as something other than just a fighter. I don't think we've seen her be technically competent before. Hobitofbree (talk) 05:44, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Not in such detail, but she was captaining ✣ the Wulfenbach fleet that attacked Sturmhalten, and was on top of the strategic questions in the conversation with Klaus ✣ before the attack; also, she did a good job (even though Gil objected to her style of work) in questioning the Circus people ✣ while searching for Agatha. (She was taken in by the Circus's plot, but so was Gil, so you can't really count that against her.) Bkharvey (talk) 06:30, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

As I said before, I think Bang and Zeetha might be latent sparks based on a number of moments of clarity or brilliance. Bang's intuition and ability to reason is solid (occasionally there's a false logic trail thrown in, but the reasoning is sound). DLcygnet (talk) 16:39, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

And clear the fuse locker! I believe former guy has been demoted to 'ballast'. If we've lost only two gasbags out of ten, we're not so bad. Good to see the Chief is still with us. Only a flesh wound. As for respect, try shouting 'I am Zeetha, daughter of Chump!' and see how far it gets you. -- SpareParts (talk) 13:07, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

It's worth noting that DuPree is also demonstrating that she is more than a psycho. She is a very, very competant Airship Captain, and really knows her onions. Bosda Di'Chi 14:24, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Also, filing my prediction that the Captain is not wasped, but a willing part of Steelgarter & Monahan's plots.PhoenixTalion (talk) 16:19, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
