Pulling Apart 2012-10-03

Oh boy, looks like Mon gave up the ghost. A weighty ghost, at that.

Past strips (such as the sequence starting here) have shown that Shelly tends to enjoy herself quite a bit when she Knows Something. In this case, we're dealing with a slightly bigger Something, that slightly fewer people know about, so it would make sense that she's enjoying herself a bit more. I think it's safe to assume though, that Monica is in no danger. Shelly clearly Knows Something, and she has been demonstrated to be rather protective of Monica in the past.

but whats with the glove?

MerchManDan - thanks for the music!

"Now she's presentable." ......and Shelly bitches about others keeping secrets!?

[Fairportfan]

Uh huh. Shelly definitely Knows Something.

[Fairportfan]

ok, i usually have some guesses...not this time tho. Yet I am sure Paul will pull it out. Kinda like flying with a stunt pilot: ur not sure what he's doin, or why, and u know ur riding 3 manoevers behind. But you know that you will be landing safely. Sooner or later.

Usually.

[Fairportfan]

I still think Shelly is enjoying this way too much.

Well, up till now, it's been Shelly who was a step or two behind all the time.

Nice to feel "I know something YOU don't know!" for once.

Yep.

"We were bored."

Jar. Now.

*raises eyebrow* Fascinating...

[Jabberwonky]

Okay! I knew this looked familiar!

[Jay-Em]

Tina? One latté, please... *plod, plod, plod* hello confusion corner... *plops-down, Feeling somewhat drained*

OBE's hmm?, oh dear.... For the person with the least liking of magic and other non-scientific stuff, M is réally getting it. Talk about "irony"

fire...hmmm.... Fire.. There was something about fire and re-birth... Ah! A Phoenix. Yeah, makes sense, since M díd come back from the dead. (although, as a life-long X-Men fan, "phoenix" has all sortsof unpleasant connotations for me, let's hope M is not "Maddie" ..)

[Bud_Fanboi]

So she's ghost girl... I'm now picturing Monica Guest starring with Jennifer Love Hewitt... Although I think that much cleavage in one place would cause the universe to divide by zero.

[Jay-Em]

"Now she's presentable." ......and Shelly bitches about others keeping secrets!?

Not only that, but remember M saying "Don't keep secrets from me, it pisses me off" ??

A "pissed off" M could seriously singe Shellinx' fur now, me thinks.

but whats with the glove?

...you know, I just now noticed that.

[Jay-Em]

The glove ís on the hand that looked burnt on the previous page, so, there is, indéedsome significance there. Maybe that hand -on the astral projection, that is- can shoot fire when uncovered, or sumptin'?

*sigh* i guess we'll just have to be patient.

So THIS is what was meant by Monica being her own doorway. Big time OBE ability! Apparently she can now leave her body. Of course this has scared her to death. She may think she has died, since that's usually the normal way for the soul to leave the body. It may have happened to her before when she actually died as a child. For whatever reason this ability has manifested itself now. The essence of Monica is floating free and she's terrified. Who wouldn't be? Could be Shelly can do this too since she is a doorway as well.

I still think Shelly is enjoying this way too much.

Next strip: Monica, with a little help, "steps into Shellys' shoes" as it were and Shelly gets to be a 'Pocket Elf' (and see whatits like) for a time. Can YOU say "FREAKY FRIDAY" ?

[davids4250]

If Monica squeezes any harder, she's going to have some interesting bruises to explain to Kevin.

[Julie]

Now she's presentable.

This almost makes my post yesterday about Shelly giving Monica a chance to get a hold of herself on point...though Monica doesn't seem to have that good of a hold on herself at the moment...

but whats with the glove?

...you know, I just now noticed that.

I don't think it's a glove. I think Monica-Spirit's arm is bent at the elbow, so most of the forearm is not visible from this angle. What you're seeing is her wrist with her hand bent down at that joint...giving the illusion of a glove. At least that's what it looked like to me.

Now that I've addressed the part I understand...

*parks butt in a bean-bag chair in Confusion Corner*

Amateur...I've got a sleeping bag in one of the couches, a mini-fridge, a hot-plate, and a microwave (for the popcorn). I practically live here now.

[Fairportfan]

I don't think that's a glove; i think it's actually Monica's wrist and foreshortened forearm looking like the cuff of a glove.

(You know, if you type "writs" but meant "wrist", spellcheck won't help you a bit.)
