She is wishing Monica luck, but will still make her question her every move. That's Doubt's job, it is what she does.

Monica made an error in assuming Calista had more to fall back on than she did. Time to backtrack and create a nurturing to build up Calista self image and confidence before starting over. Calista will run a while then curl up with her misery. The trick for Monica is to quietly track her down and be...

I was struck by a sense of familiarity when I saw today's strip. I could swear that we've seen Doubt portrayed in almost exactly the same posture, with a very similar expression, at least once before. Did anyone else have a similar impression and (if so) can you remember when? Maybe this one? http:...

Now they're just having sport with poor little Calista. Kinda stout/stocky aint she? Seems like she could shape her glamour into something slimmer. But then she may like it like that since she seems that way in her natural little form as well. There seems to be some self-image issues with glamour, ...

Not likely for being who calibrate a their stopwatches in eons. More likely the other demons are screaming “NO FAIR! Why do we have to keep start over just as ours is getting broken in?”

Remember how Doubt use to look? http://wapsisquare.com/comic/01182005/ Personal demons and their interaction can change over time. Monica's Doubt is more of a confidant now. This is probably what she is trying to teach Calista. Notice also how Monica's early Doubt resembles the one Calista was corne...

I just can't help but keep thinking back to the conversation back at the cafeteria and how wigged out Cricket was. All I can see is her standing there, taking a step back, then hair pins spinning in the air all WB Cartoon-like as she bolts. Of course Monica teleports to catch up which just makes Cr...

One's perception (and shape) of their inner demons seems to evolve over time. Monica may be engaging Calista in exercises that would allow her to reshape her perception of her inner demons into less threatening and more advisory roles, allowing Calista a broader range of responses in a situation. At...

I wasn't sure yesterday but today I get the distinct feeling we may not be looking at Cricket's demons... Monica has the ability to look into a person and pull out their worst fears and make the person realize them. (Think Nudge and the volcano) I get the feeling that this is a test for Cricket to ...

Scaaaarrrrry! Her demons actively want to shut her in. Those are not Calista’s demons, but her greatest fears. Just because you know what someone's greatest fear is doesn't mean that it is available to show them. So, a little demonic cosplay is required, with some demons (her's or Monica's?) acting...

At least Calista doesn't make the classic mistake of stating "It will never happen against, ma'am." This little fae may find learning from Monica more enjoyable than she ever imagined, until the first time she flubs up and Monica drops the hammer on her with the ‘ disappointment speech ’: ...

Interesting to note that of all of them Kathryn is just the face, while the rest have a body. Good point. I suspect that Mama's face is what Castela focuses on the most. The smile and loving eyes being a huge source of love and security for Pickle. :) I suspect it is after this scene http://wapsisq...

I think the order of the pictures is determined by how often they are updated. Lily is on top at the bottom because this is a new one of her with the tears. Kathryn also gets updated often. Atsali less often, because she doesn't do anything new or memorable (from Castela's point of view, she has kno...

Based on the stairs down and the probably concrete walls, I would say they are in the basement.

But a fairly deep one.

The what door now? It must be designed to hold something out. Which makes me wonder why she would just open it so casually? What good is it if the members of the household just treat it like a regular door It is probably a portal system, probably through/from The Library given the relationship with...

Now that Kathryn has a (biological) mother, I would like to meet some of her parents (the ones that raised her). There was a ton of speculation a while back about how she was raised after the capsule was found. Might be interesting if the 2 sides of her family could meet, under MIB supervision of co...

I wish Lily didn't smoke. It looks bad. We didn't see Lily smoking until she was invited to the island with all the vampire predators. I suspect that she smoked, then quit, and has restarted as a stress response. Smoking looks bad, but Lily’s attitude makes it look even worse. It is like, having co...

Taking on small business ownership is a much better fit for Monica's new roll. Small businesses can be time absorbing, but if you sell high ticket items and have someone to cover for you, like Tiffany, you can earn a years living in a handful of sales and end up with acres of time. I wonder if ther...

Monica and Kevin broke up. It was mentioned off-handedly in dialogue sometime back, and as far as I can recall no explanation for how or why was given and it didn't happen on-screen. We just didn't see Kevin for awhile then Monica mentions that they broke up. I don't recall exactly where she said i...

And no one has speculated on M and Jet, yet. And Monica is very blushy there. Now, now. In order to carry a passenger, contact is needed to extend the poit! field. Besides, who wouldn't blush when a supermodel hugs up on you? Not necessary for Monica. One of her unique powers appears to be 'poit ot...
