Of course there's Nothing At All Ironic about that last panel...

[FreeFlier]

And who says that Timmie will object to being "roped into" a date?

Available evidence indicates otherwise . . .


And the queen of obliviousness noticed . . .

It seems that Atsali CAN catch those clues...

... when they don't involve HER.

(Not an uncommon limitation.)

[Atomic]

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..

I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..

I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..

Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not in love

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

I just added a note under "Tsundere" at TVTropes...

[TazManiac]

Mr. Atomic gets the Weekly Maximums Kudos Award. (This in lieu of the recent trope- 'Mic Drop', cause you should never treat a microphone that way...)

PS- This one goes on the list of songs to learn, to be able to 'Sing under Her Window'.

She has stated before that she can read Castela, if not anyone else...

Would the volume of that award happen to be 10cc?

[DilyV]

The look on Kath's face in the last panel is priceless... I don't think I've seen her so... so... relaxed and happy...

It varies to the situation...

(good one)

If I recall correctly, that's the volume of one International Standard Lovin' Spoonful.

[Catawampus]

I suppose that piercings for earrings and the like are something where Castela has a great advantage over most other people. Just stick 'em in wherever, whenever.

Hopefully things will work out a bit smoother than it did the last time we saw her try to subtly arrange a not-date with him, when the Big Sis With Spilled Cold Water Incident intervened. Given Timothy's apparent susceptibility and some of the outfits gals wear to anime conventions. . .

[oldmanmickey]

This could be really interesting, some of the characters being cosplayed may very well be there among the Para attendees.

[Grantcmccormick]

As a note, it's almost exactly two years ago Pablo-time that Atsali and Jacob were going to have their date. Then Granma Lily, antimatter explosions, Jessie's brother, and Nadette all happened. I guess that Castella decided to do it more conventionally!

(I accidentally posted this in yesterday's thread. Sorry.)

I think I hear the Pun Jar beginning to creak and groan.....

ISWYDT.

I just added a note under "Tsundere" at TVTropes...

Speaking of TVtropes, some of the examples in western animation include Alvin & Brittany from Alvin and the Chipmunks (tsun, romantic), Wima Flintstone (dere), Turanga Leela (tsun, nonromantic), Rick Sanchez Rick and Morty (with heavy emphasis on the 'tsun' part).

And then there's Faye Whitaker.
