My money's on the surviving monk actually being Lady Selnikov, either via disguise or mind-transference sparkery, the former of which would explain the kerchief over face. Even though yes, respect for the dead does also explain said kerchief, stop it with the logic. Ahem... If she transferred her mind into the monk and the monk still has his face, why wouldn't her body still have her face? Why not make it look proper? Mind-transferrence is the latter of the two, not the former. If I'd said latter, then you'd be making absolute sense. On the other hand, if Lady Selnikov disguised herself as the monk using something else, ie makeup and a wardrobe swap, then she might have to hide the monk's face with the kerchief if she only had enough of whatever to change her own appearance. Yes, it's far-fetched, but the duck with the onion is one of my favorite pokemon, so there.

Yes, it's far-fetched, but the duck with the onion is one of my favorite pokemon, so there. She shaved her head? And dyed her hair to match the monks? AND changed the shape of her face? Ok, if you say so.

Longer yet! Lord and Lady Selnikov (he in his head-in-a-jar state) actually both appear in the Works game, brought out before the comic itself.
So do the bears.

She might not have found that out, I think -- he was reported to be dead, and his revival at least short-term was... not publicized. He may still be being kept a secret aboard Castle Wulfenbach. Also, even if people know, she presumably isn't considered to be married to him anymore.

Quick! Cut off her head, stuff her mouth with garlic, & put her outside under a full sun, on a burning pyre. And what they should have done to Pinky while they had the chance. Do not trust dis family - they's tricksy.
Speaking of Pinky, I wonder what's become of her & the clank. (Can't think of the either of their names. Duh.)

I wouldn't trust a Selnikov to die properly unless I get their head on a silver platter...
...and not even then!

If hy recall correctly... Lord Selnikov pondered da results ov being dead. Was bad thing, -until- though ov his wife. Then asked if could haff 'Abomination ov Science' on a plate bolted to his forehead... hy don't think he likes his wife.
...or am I thinking ov wrong head-in-jar guy?
