I retract my earlier statement. It was Bud. Looking at the art on my bitty smartphones screen, I can see the neckline of the de-cardionator matches Bud's dress.
Guess the hatters will be hatting Bud now.

Oh, THANKS Bud. Here I was, eagerly waiting for Mon's fully scientific explanation for how she managed to pull her own soul out of her body & put it back. Then you just HAD to punch her heart out through her ribcage. That is JUST SWELL.

Re: Nice Story 2012-10-12
I'm guessing she'll owe Monica a good heartfelt apology, when it's all said and done. And not just a half-hearted one, either...shadowinthelight wrote:Bud, sweetie, the expression is "reach out and touch someone" not "reach through".
Drops important signs into the pun jar... so important, in fact, one might call them vital...
Re: Nice Story 2012-10-12
Based on yesterday's strip, Monica would have said that this was somehow due to her demons. Demons aren't fully scientific, but to Monica they are at least a known and somewhat understood phenomenon, and thus not too uncomfortable to contemplate.MerchManDan wrote:Oh, THANKS Bud.

Bud just needed to... uhm... demonstrate otherwise, I guess.

Re: Nice Story 2012-10-12
Several people have mentioned that many of the Paranormal cast must have Phoenix blood because they heal so fast. I tend to think there's more than one basis for Rapid Parnormal Healing - just none that have been detailed, other than just being supernatural.....

That may be what it is, but when you blow it up you see the "neckline" part is gray, like the background, and not white (or whiteish, like her arm). It could just as well be the gap between the figure behind Monica and Monica's hairline. It just happens to look like the plunging neckline Bud is sporting. So who knows. Not likely to be the companion though. Too tall.Boxilar wrote:I retract my earlier statement. It was Bud.

Well it's about time!
Seriously I was about to get fed up with Monica just. NOT. GETTING IT!

Inability to deal with reality? How's this for a wake up call? LMMFAO!!!
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
Re: Nice Story 2012-10-12
I know Monica wasn't getting it, but that seems a bit heartless.
Join us on Monday for the heart-wrenching conclusion to this story arc.
Between them they have the power of three of the Planeteers. Monica is obviously fire. Shelly, as we've seen earlier, is air (do the windy thing). Bud? Heart.
How much do I owe the pun jar for that? is there even enough money in the world?

(I originally typed "told", but i'm not sure we were told in so many words... wasn't it Phix? And she's demonstrated that she can be Quite Misleading without actually lying.)

Wossname - the Shadow Girl? We were introduced to her in a way that suggested she would be Very Important ... but we haven't seen her since.Bathorys Daughter wrote:That may be what it is, but when you blow it up you see the "neckline" part is gray, like the background, and not white (or whiteish, like her arm).

Re: Nice Story 2012-10-12
Monica: "Pff. This is no different than the last dozen times you two tried to kill me."
Monica inserting her "control" on Bud to reinsert her place in this trio seems more and more tempting now, doesn't it?
Funny thought: Now's the perfect time for Brandi to pay an unexpected visit.

Well now, that's a rather grisly way of making a point...
Effective, but grisly, and messy, and unpleasant.

Well, if that damaged Monicas expensive bra, someone is in real trouble ...
Re: Nice Story 2012-10-12
You know, it's entirely possible that whoever did do the heart-shove trick MAY have crossed a line there. seriously. immortal or no (if she was invulnerable she couldn't have her heart ripped out in the first place) denial or no, that's just WRONG.

Dangit Shelly I wanted to hear the explanation she was gonna give, but guess her heart just wasn't in it.
