Over-full tummy, plus caffeine, plus lots of chocolate and cream and sugar yet to come...
It's a good thing this was scripted for a Friday. I think Atsali, at least, may need to sleep in late on Saturday.

To borrow a line from Tuesday's comic, I'm confused now. Where does Friday come into play on this Thursday morning?Dave wrote:It's a good thing this was scripted for a Friday.
Re: Midnight Raid 2016-08-11
From http://wapsisquare.com/comic/own-it/ - Kath said that this was "end of the work week" (which I'm assuming is Friday in her portion of the Wapsiverse) and that she was planning to take the girls out to dinner that evening.AmriloJim wrote:To borrow a line from Tuesday's comic, I'm confused now.

Re: Midnight Raid 2016-08-11
I could be wrong and probably am but wont this time jump make pickle about the same age as Astali was when she was first introduced? Maybe we are looking at the start of a wonderful adventure featuring the girls. The Gilchrist sisters and the Temple of Sugar.

At this point Castela is (we were told) in fifth grade and Atsali is a senior.oldmanmickey wrote:I could be wrong and probably am but wont this time jump make pickle about the same age as Astali was when she was first introduced?

This does not track, but fifth grade is about when a lot of girls start to notice boys...

I'm thinking we (the Royal, but still unwashed 'We') retconned it to mean that Castela jumped a grade or two...
Re: Midnight Raid 2016-08-11
Unless Kath's bedroom is hermetically sealed, making coffee will wake her up... that's pretty much my alarm clock when mom makes coffee in the morning. It tends to permeate the whole house
You know that light at the end of the tunnel?
Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

Oh yeah, the food coma. I'm very familiar with this as a cyclist. Also familiar with going back for more after a quick recovery period.
One definition of a cyclist is eating machine on two wheels. When I was riding every day I was consuming between 4K and 5K Calories a day, and losing an average of a pound (half a Kg) a week. Before I learned how much I needed to eat I lost 10 pounds in the first week of my 20 mile/day commute.

I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.

What's rough is when you become accustomed to that sort of routine, and then stop the heavy regime of strenuous exercise (perhaps due to injury)... but keep the eating habits.Opus the Poet wrote:Oh yeah, the food coma.

I grew up in logging country and saw that happen to several loggers. They quickly become excessively round.

Re: Midnight Raid 2016-08-11
Atsali and Castela remind me a lot of my sister and I growing up! Getting up before our parents on the weekend and "cooking breakfast", planning midnight kitchen raids when we were kids, sneaking beers and cigarettes on camping trips as teens, going to get tattoos on our 18th birthdays and here we are now, in the edge of our early thirties, on a whim, getting daith and septum piercings. Super Fun! I got lucky when my younger sister showed up, I got a Partner In Crime!

Re: Midnight Raid 2016-08-11
What's a daith, and why would you pierce it?
Though, I'm more partial to tattoos. I'd like to get another, but between not having the money, having the money for other stuff, and not really interested in going anywhere, it's kind of a back-of-the-shelf thing right now. Mainly because I want to build an AR-10, and pay a few visits to the military surplus store for putting together an AWOL bag.
Anyway, for some reason Castela looks like she might be a bit taller than she was a few strips ago. Like, compared to when she was with Timmy. It could be perspective, though.
Have they actually called him Timmy in the comic? I don't recall that. But then, there's a lot of crap I don't remember of the comic, like whatever ejected Kath and Atsali from a pyramid, causing Atsali to land face first in Kath's cleavage.

There is no such thing as a science experiment gone wrong.

Yes, Timmy has been named several times in the dailies, as well as credited in the character notes below them.

Re: Midnight Raid 2016-08-11
This is a daith piercing
There's some talk about them curing migraines, but it looks like a bunch of hogwash. Daith piercings are decorative.
Migraines are a neurological and circulatory issue. A hole in your outer ear isn't gonna do anything.

He's mister GlytchMeister, he's mister code
He's mister exploiter, he's mister ones and zeros
They call me GlytchMeister, whatever I touch
Starts to glitch in my clutch!
I'm too much!

It's a retirement hazard for loggers and farmers: caloric expenditure drops sharply, and caloric intake doesn't drop enough.Warrl wrote:What's rough is when you become accustomed to that sort of routine, and then stop the heavy regime of strenuous exercise (perhaps due to injury)... but keep the eating habits.Opus the Poet wrote:Oh yeah, the food coma.

Any sort of intense manual labor worker, really. Same for truck unloaders. One guy went from the back room to the electronics department and would have ballooned up if he hadn't started going to a gym every day.

That was when they dived through the Mapimi stargate, just ahead of the crashing helicopter gunship, after Atsali bailed out of it just after she stole it and used it to blow up the other chopper...Alkarii wrote:But then, there's a lot of crap I don't remember of the comic, like whatever ejected Kath and Atsali from a pyramid, causing Atsali to land face first in Kath's cleavage.

Really? I thought that it was always the more formal "Timothy" instead of the casual "Timmy."AmriloJim wrote:Yes, Timmy has been named several times in the dailies, as well as credited in the character notes below them.
Dang it, now I'm thinking of Timmy from South Park...
