They should be grateful this isn’t a musical, then.
I think the Shoes had better ‘fess up to who they are and what they’re up to, because Emma’s perfectly capable of dumping them in a ditch. Which, to satisfy an itch, will…er, sorry,
continuity is a bit harsh to follow since this been a month and half (from another chapter, and inbetween two differents lines and one backstory,w may I note) that the scene has been “freezed”. Had to second guess it wasn’t any elliptic here.
It’s a technique that’s lifted a bit from manga, and other comics do it as well — Red String is a good example of a webcomic that does this, and so is Girl Genius. But, as Isa indicated, we’re here with Emma to stay for a good long while now.
Intriguing logistic question: if you’re a pair of shoes, how do you tell what your wearer’s face looks like? (Entirely apart from the “doesn’t have eyes” issue, if you did have a sense of sight, your angle of view — that is, looking up from way down next to the ground — would be way less than optimal.)
She’s going off of supposition here. Emma’s not saying anything and the shoes is well … an interesting personality is how I’ll put it. Emma hasn’t said anything for a few minutes and they’re not moving, so the shoes figure that Emma’s staring at her blankly.
Isa kept having to remind me that the shoes do not have eyes, because I accidentally had a few slips in there when drafting this and chapter 4. This scene is deliberate, but I’ve actually written out notes for the shoes, outlining what they can and can not do.
Oz magical items have never shown any limitations in what they can sense, at least none any greater than those of an ordinary person. Besides, shoes have eyes if they have laces!
Panel 3 – Best expression ever!
A face that says “I am not a mule”
Or in fact says that she *IS* a mule. The ears are laid back and the stubborn is right there.
Is Ozma the shoes? :O
Doubt it, but do you think they’d tell if she was?
I’d guess it’s the current Dorothy. After all, those shoes really want to get to the Emerald City…
(Weeeeeeeeeeeere … OFF to see the wizaaaarrrrrd…..)
I don’t think the shoes would enjoy all that dancing.

The story should start jumping around a bit less now that all the characters are established. Story jumps are going to be chapter-based now.

Don’t you hate it when your shoes start to sass you?
Damn right! That’s why I only wear Vibrams, sandals, or go barefoot from now on.

Aw, i’m too late! Meg gave you a detailled and accurate explanation. I was going to just go with just “Magic”.

Drop those shoes like an old habit, Emma! Just do it!
I love Emma’s expression in the last panel!!
She’s doesn’t take crap from things.
But weren’t these shoes made for walkin’?
LOL! Oh too funny! XD
