Fine view of Acacia in 'bottom' panel.....Think about it......THERE WE GO. Reminds me of a RoadRunner cartoon.
Ah, we've got all weekend,I'll think up some more.

Gotta love those racehorse legs....<3

This isn't precisely how I imagined seeing Buds finer physical qualities again, but I'll take what I can get.

[Timotheus]

I have noticed similarities in her leg structure to those of a rhinoceros. This may explain her tendency to charge blindly at goals.

[Fairportfan]

Paul left out the "ZIP!" before the "POW!"

[Jabberwonky]

I believe that's "Meep-meep.' zip-tang!"'

But considering Pickles size, I'd suggest something more along the lines of "Arriba! Arriba! Espa! Ondelé!"

$2000 per kid for a winter wardrobe, I remember when that was a hell of a lot of money for clothes. Nowadays, not so much.

Atsali probably has a little growth left, but not sure how old she is, so maybe a $200 winter coat will last her a decade or two. Same for Pickle!

[DinkyInky]

Don't forget that these may not be the kinds of clothes you get at MallWart from sweatshops in Bangladesh, these may get pretty pricey.

Yeah, the sweatshops get a whole five cents for these shops(Sorry, Most of the common clothing are about the same quality.
My sister has bought me a $90 pair of jeans that ripped to shreds in three months, and a $15 pair of jeans from the above mentioned Wart lasted me a year before shredding(designer jeans from an actual retail store, not a seconds store either).
Being that our Mother is a tailor, we can generally gauge these things(the jeans in question were an impulse buy for her, and she thought how cute I'd be in them and grabbed my size and swiped the card without ever checking them out).
My suits however, are another matter. I have to get them unhemmed from the stores and have Mother tailor all but the hems(because I can do that part well...can't quite get the hang of tapering and waist in, or jacket sleeves). Pardon to anyone for my snobbish attitude for not getting preset suits, but again, Mother is a tailor, and to look good, I listened to her advice.
I've also modeled Giorgio Armani and Brooks Brothers, so yeah, if they are in a ritz bitz mall, they may have better quality control. Depending on the desire for suckers...seeing as how MIB frequent here, less likely(miscreants prolly get fed to the Cerberi for frequent cheats).

All the above done on a Halloween fueled sugar high and lack of sleep, so all issues are mine and done without anything bad meant.

Either Candy Store or the Toy Store.
Good Luck, Little One.

(First I read the daily comic -
If a comment comes to mind, I log in and leave a comment -
Then I read the other comments, to see if there are any others who think like I do [or I think like they do].)

I just now noticed Castela's eyes, or perhaps "eye buds" would be the better description. Another interesting feature!

And also interesting that she would have the density to bowl Bud over like that!

[WilliamCA]

looks like Paul has been channeling his inner Calvin and Hobbes, with just a dash of Charlie Brown

She's fifteen. We have no reason (yet) to assume that sirens mature more slowly or more quickly than norms.

[Skruddgemire]

It just may be my hyper geeky side, but did anyone else think of this when she took off?

Keep that kid away from sugar otherwise she'll pull the time warp effect from Star Trek 4

[Catawampus]

Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word over there,
That Castela's coming, Castela's coming
And golems tumbling everywhere!

Pickle can roll.

Like a bowling ball. Which at least gave us a nice view of Bud's pins.

Gotta love those racehorse legs....<3

More like pegasus legs at the moment.

From bud's attempt at roller skating here and here,I would think she has far more mass than that.

I wonder if golems can swim, or if their density is too great? We've always seen them by the water or standing in water, never anything more.

It just twigged on me that MIB Assistant Director Budir has stepped in to personally chaperone these two kids - special treatment indeed. Hopefully it's not over a feeling of impending doom, or anything - just sayin'.

She seems to have a close relationship with the kids, so I'd guess that she just decided that, since she's there helping to supervise this whole mall event, she might as well spend the time having fun with her friends and "family". Besides, if she didn't go shopping with the kids, then it might end up being Brandi supervising them. . .and given what we've seen of Brandi's love of shopping and fashion, there's no telling what the kids might end up wearing afterward.

Atsali probably has a little growth left, but not sure how old she is, so maybe a $200 winter coat will last her a decade or two. Same for Pickle!

Seeing as how Atsali can be nine feet tall when she wants to be, and that Castella can be about one foot tall (and scrunch across the floor), I'm not sure how one would figure out sizing for these kids. Perhaps clothing with lots of Spandex and adjustable belts.

[DilyV]

Pickle can roll.

I believe the term is "Scrunch"...

[meisdadoo]

I'm liking the fun and light tone of recent. That whole black tar line was kinda dark, but even so it shed some light on why Monica had demons in her pocket in the first place.

As for pickle vs bud's density, Science has yet to develop a method of accurately estimating (let alone measuring) the power and energy of a small child in close proximity to their object of desire. Throw in "paranormal" and $2,000 and you get :



Times 10^64

[kingklash]

Great cartoon physics for 'Stela! Anyone who's taken a kid shopping will know what getting bowled over is like. Remember, our high-speed tumbleweed has impacted Bud below her center of gravity, so the knock-down is guaranteed.

[Sidhekin]

I just took another look at Atsali's expression ...

... wonder what she saw ...

[NOTDilbert]

Are we still talking about Bud's legs, or Castela's

[KnightDelight]

From bud's attempt at roller skating here and here,I would think she has far more mass than that.

I think that sidewalk depression was more from a combination of velocity plus an unyielding body than from sheer mass. When normal bodies hit pavement, the body loses and spreads out, absorbing the force. With Bud. her body doesn't yield a bit and is far harder than the sidewalk could ever be. I think that "hardness" is not so much intrinsic as it is a result of energy from the galactic rotation fortifying the actual clay shell. Sort of a really, really hard/strong force field. I guess it would be analogous to the inter-atomic forces which make up matter. After all, what we think of as solid is really just the forces between the bits of matter rather than the matter itself. Especially considering there is actually a vanishingly tiny amount of matter contained in anything with which we interact, concrete included.

I'm pretty sure that the embed link won't work here because it's HTML and the board software uses BBCode.
