As big as she wants to be.

What?? I'm just as much a fan of nice posteriors as anyone else... :P
Heh. Funny you should mention that - i just came across this article yesterday.

Minnetonka appears to be a Mipple City suburb... Wikipedia says eight miles.)

I wouldn't include Tsillah in a list like that where she could hear you.

Which is pretty much anywhere, i guess - "The Shadows know."

Man! All I'm getting is ads for fantasy fiction e-books with gay leads... :(
(Seriously, I want to mail 'em and ask what I'm browsing that brings that up)
It's Project Wonderful. I've seen very few relevant ads.
I saw those leggings and immediately thought of this:

I mean, why not? If the old Razzle Dazzle can disguise a ship, why not a rump?

I have my doubts. He seems to have his hands full just keeping Wapsi going along with his other interests.

EDIT: One of the things which separates Suzie from the rest of the killers in the series is that she is not the least bit remorseful of her past acts. Worse yet, she is still doing horrible things and feeling fine about it. We don't know about Lily for sure yet, but at least she is not indulging in past behavior and seems to consider it not the least bit ok. Suzie has yet to reach the level of conscience the GGs and Phix have concerning humans. Even the bad guys. I recall Brandi was aghast when she thought Bud may have killed the gun dealers with grenades. Likewise, Bud made sure to make that happen in the far side of the basement. Suzie, however, is still a killing machine who gives in to her baser desires. She has yet to reach the epiphany the others have had. This sets her apart from the rest and an unlikable character in my view anyway, funny though she may be.

Hmmm -- A'la the Green Hornet? A good guy being a bad guy to eliminate the bad guys for good?

I sorta doubt that that's done in DaGlo colours, though.

More like The Spider.

(One time The Spider needed a head for some anti-crime scheme. So he hunted up a small-time crook and chopped his head off...)

Am I the only one that hears that last "You guys" from Tsillah as a drawn out "You guuuyyys"?

Nope. You're definitely not the only one. In fact, even the one in the first panel is slightly drawn out, to me...


On a completely different subject, I just noticed now that Paul forgot to ink black some of the stripes of Tsillah's shirt, in that first panel...

That might be deliberate on Paul's part. Tsillah's appearance is both arbitrary, and shifting... notice how her "angler-fish headlamp" from earlier this week is no longer in evidence.

I got the impression that when she said "I am the curtain around you" her little-goblin-girl 3D shadow had actually disappeared, as the "curtain" spoke to the vampires. If so, the "missing" black stripes on her Op Art blouse may simply have not gotten around to reappearing yet.

Remember when she met Shelly and Justin?

Actually, I hear it more as a trying-hard-not-to-roll-my-eyes "You guys."

Um, I thought the idea of camouflage was to break up the outline of an object. That doesn't seem to be the objective as far as rumps are concerned, and just as well if you ax me.

hey I think the point of the razzle dazzle on a rump, is to make it look nicer, or confuzzle you into not noticing it's size... but then, some guys *love* the size..... :-D :-D
