I'm surprised no one is curious about why Castela's not included in the character list for today's comic, or has mentioned it yet...

Maybe partly due to him cosplaying a certain character? I have no idea who Luffy is, so I don't know if he is typically neat and rational looking.
Heck. I'm talking about since he came on the set in this sequence...
It may be that Timothy has figured out that most girls like that kind of thing, so . . .

As a guy, I can confirm we definitely ARE that oblivious.
I would agree with you, but I have no idea whatsoever... ;)
yes, men are usually clueless about wimmin, teens doubly so... AND Castela definitely said it WAS NOT a date, any other hint is ONLY vaguely seen by other wimmin... its your own fault, girl... :/ :P

It could be because she isn't there.

Oh, her body is there... but Castela herself is now far, far away. She's somewhere south of Shock, on the Isle of Self-Castigation, shivering in the cold winds blowing down from the mountains of I Really Got This Wrong, realizing that her compass doesn't work at all and that her map of the world didn't say a damn thing about those reefs and shoals.

(Or it could just be that Paul accidentally forgot to include her tag :) )

You're right: it is a terrible thing to have one's tag omitted from a daily comic... :P

Well, sorta.

There's something scary about those eyes. Kinda remind me of Jin's back in her scary days.

But her eyestalks aren't showing, and the distortion that's there could be unshed tears.

Math, and sex education. She's a smart kid, and by now I imagine she knows that even adders can multiply on a log table. :mrgreen:

The pun jar can hear you, Dave . . .

It's not happy, Dave . . .

The ends of her pupils are still round . . . that's the distortion I was talking about. Assuming that her visible eyes aren't pure illusion - and I'd say this argues for an actual change - then tears "piling up" on the lower surface of her eyes could cause a distortion like that until they exceed the surface tension and spill down her cheeks.

This would require Timothy to be able to figure things out. This has not been his strong suit.


I just hope, for everyone's sake, that there really is not any trickery involved.
No moment with Scarlet congratulating herself when she thinks she's alone.
I think that would end poorly.

If filet mignon costs $33/lb, you should shop at a different grocery store.

(It is pretty though...)

I said that it may be . . .

However, missing that requires an exceptional degree of obliviousness. (Many boys choose to ignore it, which is a different matter.)

It would, but I think she's sincere and did the right thing no matter what she expected it to cost her.
