On the subject of depleted uranium rounds I can enlighten the good readers. DU is not magic. It has about twice the density of lead and is pyrophoric, that is it will burn if raised to a high enough temperature in the presence of air. DU is especially useful in anti-tank rounds because of the presen...

I wonder if either of them realises that they're slipping into A Relationship here... more than Best Friends, that is. Devyn doesn't need a hormone driven relationship, she needs a friend. As long as Abbie knows that, Devyn can be cool with whatever else Abbie might be attracted to, and Devyn will ...

Well, weather is driven by temperature and pressure differentials in our universe, caused by the heating from the sun. I guess the physics are a bit different in the Wapsiverse. Might be different, might be the same. Remember the "butterfly effect"... small changes in one area can, in the...

Or perhaps Devyn _respects_the teacher for whatever reason and is just a bit put off by her classmates' utter lack of it.
Whatever it is, it's a cinch we don't know enough about either Devyn or Mr. Peterson to make a call at this point.

Different dominant light sources.
Castela's flash illuminates her hair and overpowers the light from behind.
When the light is off one can see the wall behind.
Same effect that hides the stars in the daytime.

Oh, it's out here . . . you just don't notice it, because they don't get in significant trouble.

The real trick is getting this kind of family culture to spread into the rest of the populace.

This will be a test for Castel.
Scarlet has absolutely no clue what kind of fire she is playing with.
And a lot of it has to do with that (pensive?) look Castel had in the first panel.

And this flinch test isn't completely valid . . . if anyone reaches towards my face unexpectedly, I tend to flinch. --FreeFlier It is completely valid. One of the things one will learn in Armed Forces Basic Training, especially Army and Marine Corps, is that killing is easy, but Surviving is a hard...

AnotherFairportfan wrote:Ummm, is Bud referring to herself in third person Panel Two?

Yes, but I read this as a kind of personal request on Bud's part. On the order of "Will you pretty please do that again for us?"

It looks like our tumbleweed is definitely in Bud's category in at least one respect. Hurling that rock, like hurling the calendar machine, did not produce the expected recoil. In Bud's case, she should have buried herself in the same manner as would a rather substantial meteorite, crater included. ...

Seeing how Atsali acts, it is easy to forget there was a time skip. She actually seems worse at reading things now, not even able to read Pickle. Siren/Succubus hormones making the problem worse? On the upside, it is nice to see that Atsali and Nadette are still together. Guessing Atsali's issues h...

I find it particularly amusing that a creature that can cold cock a bull elephant is afraid of the consequences coming from her human mother.

Not only is it a wet t-shirt, it's a _cold_wet t-shirt.
I have to wonder if too much of that kind of stimulation is healthy at his age.

Eats, shoots & leaves immediately comes to mind... Based on the quotations, I'm going to have to check out a copy of that book from the library for a good read. Here Here! (Or is it Hear Hear?) If it is half as informative as it looks I might buy it as a reference book. I'm especially intrigued...

It looks Neuroi.
Call in the Strike Witches.

I have it on good authority (Anton Brown of FoodNetwork fame) that kudzu makes a tasty salad. So maybe we jut need to spread the word around South and eat it away or at least control it somewhat. Having done some experimentation myself on the subject, I can attest that kudzu leaves have far too muc...

Having a boyfriend who can actually endure her has to be a factor.
Incidentally, Justin seems to be content as well.

So?
If she eats all but the head he'll be right as rain in no time.
It might sour the relationship though.

No one would win. And (almost) everybody knows it. The Paras are effectively a sovereign nation living on everybody's territory. As such, they act accordingly. Some resent this because of their own need to feel safe, or at least in control, but this instance is a simple violation of an ongoing armi...

Though i'm sure this won't go anywhere near there, i have an image of a child with a thousand-yard stare, mumbling over and over, "Naughty girl ... must be punished ..." I actually saw her- would have been June 1983, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Cigarette burns, broken left arm, dis...
