#956 – The Great Manipulator…
So now you are beginning to get a look behind the “Capes & Babes green curtain” so to speak. And if you ever had a question in previous Capes & Babes strips about how two characters could co-exist – you know, let’s say an Alien and a Zombie – chances are, way in the background, The Hippy Mummy probably had something to do with it – one one fashion or another. Probably.
This begs the question though… “manipulators” in literature, movies and other forms of entertainment are usually depicted in a bad light but I ask you, is it possible for someone to be a “good” manipulator? So instead of manipulating people and events for their own selfish purpose, they manipulate people and events for a greater good ?
One example immediately comes to mind…
Chris, great job on each panel. I love the expressions you drew in all of them.
Again, sorry about your loss.
And Happy Anniversary to you and your wife.
You seem to have a very full plate right now.
A “manipulator” who manipulates for good could be called a “facilitator” since s/he facilitates events happening that is for the benefit of multiple parties rather than him/herself. Hippy Mummy saw someone who needed a friend and saw someone who needed a voice of reason, and with a subtle suggestion HM set in motion something with.
That is so true.
AWW
I am so sorry to hear about your niece, Chris 
(BIG CYBER HUG for you and your wife, Judi)
Happy Anniversary to you and your wife.
