That was my first thought, as well, upon seeing today's comic...

Meanwhile, do they really make skirts that short??? :shock:

Finally, the mirror made me think of Evil Diva... Don't know why, it just did...

There is one reason Atsali will always be painfully awkward, and it has nothing to do with her physical attributes.

Sali.

Sweetie.

It's 2016. Who says "gals?!"

...her horns have freckles.

Are her horns actually more like Star Wars fleshy tentacle hair?

They (Evil Diva) recently recovered their site from hackers and rebooted the story, just FYI.

There's a few different types of horns. True horns, which have a simple keratin sheath over them and a boney core (Bovidae and horned lizards). Cutaneous, "horns" made from modified skin or scales (chameleons, some humans). Pellage, "horns" made from a grouping of specialized stiffened hairs (rhinos). Chitinous horns, horn-like protrusions found on the exoskeletons of some arthropods. And last, but not least, ossicones; boney protuberances with skin covering them (giraffes and some golden jackals).

Atsali likely has ossicones from the looks of it.


EDIT:I forgot to include the weirdness that is pronghorn horns. they're like a mix of true horns and antlers. There's an unbranching boney core, but the keratinous sheath has branches in it.

There's an entire north to south strip of states right down the middle of the country where people still say "gals".
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Perhaps Castela got busy with a marker while Atsali was snoozing.

Besides, it's what's on the inside that counts, and inside of you is. . .a seething mass of hormones and insecurities. Uh oh.

Atsali does. Which means that the entirety of Gryphon High's "cool kids" do, too, now.

You forgot a state or two. Most importantly, Minnesota.

Pickle: "You look like a fruit bat!" Nothing like younger sisters to relieve or cause angst.

And what devil gals? Is she speaking popular culture, or some actual beings? We've been introduced to all sorts of creatures in the Wapsiverse, but I don't recall meeting devils.

I would have thought the horns would have suggested Thana to Atsali's mind. Maybe that's coming.

Eyeshape is tricky business. I'd be willing to bet she's severely far-sighted thanks to her siren side.

A series of pin-up type pictures that Paul sold on eBay.

(Chose this particular one because of the horns and wings)

Hmmm. Is this the first example of an explicit breaking of the Fourth Wall by a Wapsi character?

...This is going to lead into the story of her and Thana, isn't it?
