This mini episode seems to be the aftermath of one of the flashbacks in the webcomic. According to that, stairs were involved with how Mordecai hurt his arm (roller skates were not) and Viktor did not lose his eye in the war. They have changed up a few things in the adaptation process though. There's a webcomic full story of Lackadaisy and then there are self contained strips which sometimes elaborate on the lore and other times break canon for a joke. The official dubs are self-contained strips.
I don’t think so cause the fight where mordecai gets shot in the shoulder took place before atlas even met mitzi, there’s a part later in the flashback where they meet at the marigold, and mordecai doesn’t have a cast or anything :/ It could be a reference to it though (the comic strips are lackadaisy power-keg to Bygones)
Tis true. I still think she could have gotten a dollar out of them at least. I think this line was partly to show that, even though she is very perceptive and a little devious, she still has a childs' innocence.
Clocks are calculated to function strictly, without skipping a beat, like a metronome. Clocks are also a common trope in media that represent order and control. Mordecai is much like a clock.
i always interpreted the ticking to be a signal of mordecais focus when hes "hunting" at least in the pilot, hes blocking out all of the ambient sound but the meditative like rythem of his watch, thats why in the pilot he eard the cocking of freckles gun despite freckle being so far away and it pulled him out of the ticking.
06:22 Fun fact: he did, in fact, fall down the stairs! Sadly, there were no roller skates involved 😔 This short is happening after some events that were explored in the comic - it starts in Lackadaisy Gravediggers and ends in Lackadaisy Bygones. (Also I see Eragon amd D-Grey Man on your shelf! Respect.) Viktor being more playful here kind of hurts me - and we get to see Mitzi's passion for photography! Mordecai being so awkward and making silly faces and getting dragged by Mitzi for a photoshoot was _hilarious._ Best murder kitty! Also some of Ruby's mannerisms remind me of Rocky. Not sure if you've seen it, but there's also two other Lackadaisy shorts - Stratagem (Viktor & Mordecai duo) and Breakthrough (with tiny Rocky and Freckles -and all-suffering Nina- ). Also the official comic dubs can be found in the playlists on their CZcams channel - they're great!
He actually fell?! 😂 I love that it references the comics (I'm trying to find time to read through those). It was amazing to see Viktor smile softly and joke with a kid, but I see how it can feel bittersweet. I did see the other two shorts. I gotta say, Rocky's a menace! How did he and Freckle survive to adulthood? You're the first to recognize D-Grey Man! Respect to you!
@@Dare_to_Nerdaccording to the wiki Ivy is the only person that can sorta boss Viktor around without him getting upset and he always wanted to protect her from this life he has scared of plenty of her boyfriends in the past according to the wiki. And they have sorta a father daughter dynamic despite not being related
For those interested, Viktor lost his eye in a worker's strike shortly before meeting Atlas. I believe Atlas helped him avoid jail from the incident and hired him after.
Thank you! I've seen the other two shorts; they're both amazing! Even the comic dubs seem to have a lot of characterization packed into such a short time.
And also, since The Webcomic came WAY before the pilot, for me it's quite acurate to read after seen the pilot, so the caracters backstories, the time line and stuff are better understandable.
Love your reaction, you should react to their official comic dubs too! Not sure if you heard it, but at 3:35 in the short, turn up your volume and you’ll hear Ruby Pepper say something very interesting and dark 🧐
25 cents in the 1920 is equal to asking 4 bucks in this day and age. seriously look up prices in 1920's! a dozen eggs cost 47 cents ($7.09 today), one pound of round steak cost 40 cents ($6.04 today), and three pounds of macaroni cost 25 cents ($3.77 today). 25 cents can get you a lot of things

I would love for there to be two more of these! Considering it's called a mini episode, I wouldn't be surprised if it's incorporated into a longer episode of the series.
Actually there is. Sometimes I make a comment while the video is playing, but don't like my audio and the videos audio playing at the same time. Sometimes I make a comment that I decide I don't want in the final cut. This is a reaction and commentary channel, so if the source material being edited bothers you, then you're in the wrong place.

@UTTPRizzmastaMuscles I have reported this spam comment. Do not put locations. If you are only here to be negative, then stay off my channel!
I love the subtle sound effect of Viktor's knees creaking as he stands up. It's a great touch there.
8:57 Considering inflation, a quarter back in 1921 would be close to $4.50 today. A bit more reasonable, for a child at least.
True but I thought she meant "If you give me a quarter." as in one fourth of the earnings. Which would be a pretty wild demand.
@@roselandianrose5296 Lol! That would be wild!

@@Dare_to_Nerd Oh, you're up for a bad time if you see me irl, I'm like that.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ivy was financially intelligent (in preadolescent terms)

Clocks are calculated to function strictly, without skipping a beat, like a metronome. Clocks are also a common trope in media that represent order and control. Mordecai is much like a clock.
Also, it could be a timer of a countdown to an end.
Oooh! That matches Mordecai's personality perfectly - or at least how he wants to function.

@@thamojster I could see that.
@@Dare_to_NerdI think you forget at that time a quarter could get you a lot of food or other stuff at that time it is 1921 after all

@@Dare_to_Nerd Oh yeah.. about Viktor smiling and humouring Ivy.. He has a daughter that he didn't see for a long time in the comics.
@@GeanLegaspi-ld1bm 😢 Oh no, it hits harder now!
@@Dare_to_Nerd I know...😔😔

2:49 Her Father, Ruby Pepper, Who Was Best Friends With Atlas May Himself.
Yeah, I didn't read the description before watching...like an idjit. 🤦♀
According to the Lackadaisy lore, Atlas was Ivy’s godfather.
For those interested, Viktor lost his eye in a worker's strike shortly before meeting Atlas. I believe Atlas helped him avoid jail from the incident and hired him after.
Good to know. I started reading the comics, but haven't gotten to that part.
4:44 Dang, Mordecai! 😮 He Has No Filter!
Man seriously underestimated the curiosity of a kitten. And her ability to read between the lines.
@@Dare_to_Nerd Curiosity Killed The Cat.
He literally could've said something like, "In case of thieves" but nope, he had to go and make it harder for himself
Would love to see your reactions to the comic dubs! There’s also a couple other short animations if you haven’t seen those yet. Lovely reaction! :D
Thank you! I've seen the other two shorts; they're both amazing! Even the comic dubs seem to have a lot of characterization packed into such a short time.
The lackadaysi web comics irs the best information graber that we can get for this universe, i already read the full Webcomic, its amazing.
And also, since The Webcomic came WAY before the pilot, for me it's quite acurate to read after seen the pilot, so the caracters backstories, the time line and stuff are better understandable.
Effie is Ivy's mom, who's pregnant at the time of the short
Ah, good to know.
So Ivy has a sister?
@@jjsstikbotvideos4421 a brother and a sister if I recall, though both are unnamed
@@8bitarmory846 Ah ok, interesting! Thx. Just assumed she was an only child, I didn’t know if they were important. Haven’t read the webcomic
Please do react to the comic dubs!! I've hardly seen any youtubers react to them
Ruby pepper is Ivy’s dad and Effie is Ivy’s mom.
Love your reaction, you should react to their official comic dubs too!

If I remember correctly, Viktor lost his eye during a workers strike

First of 3 I believe I could be wrong but idk might become an episode or a promotion for the series somehow

You know, kinda sad even tho she’s 18 in the pilot, clearly didn’t get the height genes 😂 Support the small ppl ✌️
Small but MIGHTY!
literally no reason to cut parts of the video out
