@builderofcastles: Not gonna lie, when i first saw this comic, i thought everyone was stoned. And i thought, how wonderful, but there is nary a joint in the place. Imagine if Mary grabbed you buy the arm, and then was turned to stone. Could you escape? Would you be turned to stone too, because of the connection? Wouldn't you prefer to be turned to stone instead of being held for the rest of your life by a young woman? Such questions run through my head…
