I was wpndering if Jet would ever show up again.

She's got Monica figured out even better than Shelly.

Monica's expression, as she looks up into the trees at the most insects... I do declare, it's saccades of cicadas!

(If you've never heard a large brood of cicadas in full chorus... well, take the opportunity if it ever comes along. And bring earplugs. You'll be astounded that mere insects can be so loud!)

The loudest insect of all is a small waterbug that makes its noise by smacking its penis against it abdomen.

No, i did NOT make that up.

Thank goodness, Monica was looking up at the sky and grousing about the change of seasons, I thought she was going to get snow dumped on her again.

I'm not sure she finds Jet's antics preferable...

One has only to read the national and international news, to conclude that the waterbug you are describing must be the spirit animal of politicians, rabble-rousers, and all demagogues.

That's the distinction between quackers and honkers, I guess?

Nice to see that Jet has moved on from the Waif/Twiggy look and put a little more meat on her bones. Must be the exercise regimen.

All of Paul's characters have disproportionately large hands.

For a moment when it first came up, I briefly mistook Jet for Amanda.

<soap box>

If anyone wants to take a closer look at Pablo's art style, you'll see his toons are about 4 1/2 to 5 heads tall with long shins and necks, but short torsos and thighs. This makes the women very leggy and statuesque. Because the head is so big compared to the body, he uses a clever trick to hide the scale change by drawing hands and feet to "normal" scale. A standard hand will fit from chin to forehead, and a standard foot is about 1/4 larger than a hand. A standard head is about 1/3 of the shoulder width as well.

Look at the last panel of the 27 Aug installment, "Snarky Comeback" for reference.

The sum total of these artistic tricks makes the characters look very human while still being exaggerated.
