Pretty good issue.
Fecal matter suddenly got genuine. All this talk of Carl thinking he's invincible, and that his hat has some supernatural, talisman-like power of protection, coupled with trailer-trash-in-trucker-hat's threats of killing "the boy", has me really worried for my boy. I swear, if they mutilate him again, or kill him, I'm going to lose it. It seems like it's foreshadowing something, and I'm worried he won't survive that something without his hat, but one the other hand, maybe the hat's new owner will save him from that something? Almost like his hoodoo, voodoo, big mojo medicine is with him whether he's wearing the hat, or someone else is.

I apologize if I left anyone out of my mention bomb. I've been gone for a while(not that anyone noticed, LOL); and my memory is a little fuzzy.![Stick Out Tongue :P :P](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png)
Edit- I wanted to add, that also, as a part of this discussion; I would like everyone to weigh in on the original title for issue #136, which was abruptly changed the very same day the cover was initially released.
#136 "Watching the Neighbors", was quickly and quietly changed to #136 "Found". Do you think it was just a change of opinion? A mistake by a Skybound rookie? Did Kirkman think the title didn't have the affect he was looking for? Or maybe Kirkman thought that particular title gave something away? Or offered too much insight into future developments.
I for one, think maybe it gave away a little too much. Especially after reading Carl and Lydia's conversation about acceptance, and the two factions joining together, productive members of society and what not. Think about it, "Watching the Neighbors"; could be the Whisperer's become exactly that, neighbors to the Hilltop and the other communities rather than enemies, and Kirkman though he was tipping his hand a little too much with the original title.
Thoughts?
