I feel like a lotta people in Pinfall are either corrupt or bad at their jobs for Maggie to get to the point of being buried without anyone noticing she was a fake. Or even darker, that someone exhumed the corpse.
We know the shadow circus uses a drug that slows the metabolism to the point of faking death. I don’t think you have to be especially incompetent to not check for that when it was evidently just a car accident.
Hey, the umbrella has the same pattern but is in colours now. Neat detail.
It feels somehow more plausible she got a new one in the colours of the hat though. Or maybe she always liked red and yellow but never expressed it before now.
did the parents not know this was maggie’s hat?
do they not know how their kids dress in general?
did they arrive separately because they’re too busy to know their kids??
why did they bring their business partners??? it’s a funeral
do they view everything as a business thing??
that’s a lot of bad parenting in a single panel
It’s not uncommon for people you do business with to attend a funeral, especially for something like this with a child. Relationships are rarely so cut and dried as work person versus friend/family.
Her parents seem to have influenced a lot of Morgan’s worst behavior. This page is introducing them and establishing their main characteristics in typical bombastic way.
Mr and Mrs Lee aren’t at the auction are they?
Not identified as such, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
Turns out it was a joke! It just took a long time for the punchline to hit.
And what a punch it packed
Aimed straight at the gut and everything.
Ha.
“Meanwhile McBell learned [martial arts] from weird old wise people she met in junkyards”
I don’t know how seriously to take that alt-text, but it’s more explanation than we’ve gotten so far.

The way flashbacks are done with just the color scheme of the character remembering it is fantastic and I want it in everything now.
Someone would have to take a coroner report identifying the cause of death, wouldn’t they?
I think it would’ve been more disrespectful to go without the hat

I love it when clowns make me laugh and smile :’)
You know what’d be insane? And this might just be copium on my part since Mustard is my favorite character?
If Mr. & Mrs. Lee were in on the Shadow Circus, and Maggie knew it.

– apparently not
– possibly not
– probably
– it’s not uncommon in those circles
– very possibly
– yes, it is

She should have stuck with the “I love you” plan.
“You can come quietly” didn’t really pack the same punch.
In fairness, that plan was already off the rails since Maggie didn’t begin the meeting by bursting out of a grave.
I went back and checked. Those were not the first words she said to Maggie. Really dropped the ball, to be honest.
Could mustard’s parents be at the auction?
🙁
“Weird old wise people she met in junkyards” Is that a Bully reference?
Prediction- this will all work out, Maggie will join the good guys; she just might have to play *Ketchup*
The hat colors… ;-;
