Merged with her skin?

Word of God confirmed on Facebook that the talisman becomes invisible when worn.

yeah I just noticed the titlebar had changed... I guess he is just being careful, but there seems to be no **webcomic** scheme, just going by the movie rating scheme...

I see a lot words about many things, but no 'standard' as there is for movies...

Pablo can always just cut away to an insert of a severed arm to capture that coveted PG rating.

R means face-severing violence, or it used to. Tops coming off one way or another.

PG-13 is whatever you think falls between those two.

NC-17 means a woman is shown enjoying sex.

Actually, I haven't noticed any change that would mean some sort of ratings increase. I was merely asking on an intellectual level. I never saw any kind of rating on the page to begin with (maybe I just never noticed, but still...) I still can't see any kind of rating now...

Ah. This title shows up on the main (home) page of the comic, which I rarely stay on... I only use it to get to the latest comic uploaded, and use the comic title's link to go to the latest page via it's fixed URL... And, of course, that bit about the rating does not show up in the title of the pages in the archives...

It recently dawned on me (yes, I'm slow -- get over it) that Atsali becoming aware of and testing her Siren powers also forever flavors her relationships, because she might never be sure the response is for her, or because of her power. A bit like Bud saying (long ago) she could have any man she wanted, but she didn't want to do it that way. It may be a long time before she can distinguish a tender heart with a captured one.

If this trend of the paranormals in the cast showing excitement by the appearance of normally non-existent body parts or the transformation of existing ones, I shudder to consider what's going to happen when Cricket finds a boy she likes.

Antennae are going to go "BOING!"

Um, is there more than one Facebook page? Because this one doesn't seem to have hardly any discussion and mostly just announcements of Mr. Taylor's new auctions.

Correct; there's also Paul's personal FB page.

Some sites use icons created by Amber M. Williams, creator of Dan & Mab's Furry Adventures.

Amber wrote:The birth of Adopt -a- Panda

As I browsed through the net, I realized that there were a lot of those "adopt a dragon" or "adopt a fuzzy" things were people would draw a picture then have other people 'adopt' it to put it on their sites. Kinda a cutesy way of getting visitors. I had a couple once, but over time I took em down. I mean, other than saying "this is what I adopted somewhere on the net", what point was there to them?

Then an idea hit me.

Everyone is familiar with web-ratings. Those are those things on a site that say whether or not they are PG rated or for Mature people only. Course they tend to only come in that black box styles.

So I decided...why not combine the two?

Thus the Adopt- a -Censor Panda was born! Now all you have to do is:
1. Decide what your site's rating is going to be (I wrote what each one represents to help you decide)
2. Right-click and save the picture
3. Put it on your website wherever you please
4. (optional but much appreciated) Link the graphic back to my site (http://www.mabsland.com)

Amber has three different style rating icons...

... using the MPAA standard G/PG/14/MA/NC-17 codes, plus a 'Not Rated' version.

With some of the issues Paul's been tackling, he might be tipping more towards the "MA" level than the "14" rating.

Nadette is also not "all in the now", apparently. So, did Atsali's experiment on the island not apparently affect her then because the experiment on the island had retroactively already affected her, with the effects diffused over time? A case of the consequences preceding the actions?

I knew that, I am asking if there is an *official* **comic** (non -animated) rating scheme, without relying on the movies one??? In the very early days of adult entertainment, almost anything was allowed, as long as it did not move...

eg curtain opens, you see a fair maiden..

curtain closes.. and opens again, you see another pose...

and yes, this was even before film!!
