“It was just the men who left you their numbers, in case you needed to contact them for paternity tests.”

“What?!”

“Nobody was quite sure what effects your tentacles would have later, though, so some of the women you were with got your phone number for the same reason.”

“WHAT?!?!”

It's a little known fact of Minnesota law that all jumping spiders are automatically granted a commercial driver's license. It's just that few of them choose to make use of the privilege.

At least Valerie is a happy, friendly drunk. Though I'm sure that the club has means of dealing with such problems, a belligerent intoxicated paranormal would likely not be someone who you'd want to be around.

So, you're saying that Katherine isn't apeeling?

Maybe someday we'll see Dale all embarrassed again and Mucho Mocha temporarily closed again because Castela went there for coffee and Dale's tail ran amok.

"I know that ghosts don't exist, because the bogeymen who live in my bedroom told me so." Perhaps these are her anxieties coming to visit her in the night, the way Monica's demons used to bother her. Or else maybe she fell down those stairs harder than we realised, and she's in the afterli...

She can be the bell of the ball!

Just so long as she doesn't waffle a lot.

Hey, we get to meet both her parents. That doesn't happen all that often with characters in this comic, the other times being Shelly, Roxanne, Nudge and Tsillah, and Rigo. Usually we only ever see one of the parents, even if we know that the character still lives with both. One wonders whether he's ...

I wonder why she's looking for work outside her own family's business. Her parents wanted her to have experience making her own way, or wanted her meeting new people? She wanted something different herself? The family business didn't have the work or the finances to have her on the payroll? Her fami...

Pixies can apparently make forms out of glamour, so it could be some sort of mental projection of Shawna's own making. Or it could be some weird other thing, seeing as how weird other things tend to appear in this comic quite frequently. The Fae can make convincing illusions out of gossamer , other...

I wonder if Castela can hear both sides of the conversation, or only Shawna's. She does have a rather amiable relationship with her aunt Monica's own Doubt, after all, so maybe she has an inside track on situations with other demons. Assuming that that is Shawna's doubt demon, and isn't something to...

So Castela can travel to any place, but I wonder how well she can home in on a particular person or object? Can she actually sense where everybody and everything is at any given time? If so, then at least she'll never misplace her keys or mobile phone.

The American Kennel Club is going to be very confused by all the eight-legged puppies that eventually start appearing at their dog showings.

What is Barbara again? Orc? Ogre? The only clue so far in the comics themselves is when Mindy asked Barbara, "Why are you in your half ogre size?" during the escapades at the haunted mansion. Which is a bit ambiguous: it could mean that Barbara is an ogre and was only displaying half of h...

Unfortunately, moving the grid anchors to the 11th dimension enhances their ability to exclude deities from this world, and Mindy is whisked away due to being part goddess. While in that exile, she gives birth to her and Hiroshi's son, who eventually exits the 11th dimension into our world years bef...

So, we've established that there are multiple universes, and that some of our characters can (intentionally or not) cross from one to another. And now some characters are going to poke around at a system that interfaces with all that. Are we about to have a "Crisis on Infinite Wapsis" stor...

Don't know if that really counts as a pun or not, though, or more of a reference. Perhaps we need an allusion decanter until that's settled.

I'm sure that they're old enough now in butterfly years.

I wondered if that was from Chaucer, but it's The Tempest . Well, that's a second subject on which Mindy will be able to tutor him. You anticipate a tempestuous relationship? Perhaps a whole comedy of errors, with much ado about nothing? We'll just have to see how it will play out, and hope that al...
