She's a teacher at Gryphon Elementary... I'd say the real question is what is Ms. Alger?

Apparently some variety of magic user (or tech user of the "Any sufficiently advanced technology..." sort). I don't think that's Lanthian Glyph she's using, though.

What worries me is her possible motives. She clearly didn't want anybody to see her using her Power... and she is secretly left-handed.

There's definitely something sinister occurring here.

Thanks for the reminder. I always forget... :roll:


I hope Atsali doesn't do a repeat performance, on that wall... she has enough self-esteem/body image issues, without adding to them... :shock:

I thought she was the swim teacher. Nope that was Mrs Adler. http://wapsisquare.com/comic/do-a-lap/

Does she weigh less than a duck?

What's the union situation in Minneapolis? Could she get in trouble for doing work that the Custodians and Maintenance Workers union is supposed to do?

Speaking as a left-handed person, i resemble that remark.

Hmmm... With the geometric appearance of that spell and the consequences of a repeat offense, it looks like an amalgam of Grrrl Power, El Goonish Shive, and Wapsi Square.

Perhaps a dash of Exiern, Melvin Chronicles, and a pinch of Wotch ? (for the reference of being turned into the 'Opposite Sex')

This had better not be local time manipulation being used to repair the wall. Because, in this comic's universe, it is fairly well understood that messing with time is a BAD IDEA.

Not necessary. Being turned into the opposite sex for a month comes directly from the early days of EGS.

Watch out for large enchanted diamonds . . .

Or hot/cold water! (Though in that case, you'd also need a not-overly-scrupulous father and a cute girl with a severe case of Lois Lane Syndrome . . .)

Don't think so. Getting a distinct impression of mage or the like (or as someone else said Sufficiently Advanced Technology). Time shift'd be kind of unnecessary for concrete work.

From the sound of things, seems she is the sort of paranormal responsible for legends of curses for breaking into sealed places, and she shouldn't be using this power at school. Guessing the repair/sealing and curse powers are tied together.

That wall is gonna be a story landmine at some point.

I hope there's a time limit on that spell (or whatever it is) or 50 years down the line, when the school is being demolished, some innocent construction worker is in for a shock!

Before the week's out, I'll bet.
