Atsali's boobs are big enough to have a tidal effect?
I can just see it when she discovers the connection between orgasm and heavy petting-
"Hey Nadette- SURF'S UP!"

I thought of that at first, but the neckline seems to have moved in the opposite direction.

The neckline has remained where it was. The contours beneath it have shifted a tad, though.

This. Compare today's last panel with yesterday's third.

That DilyV needs to amend the date on this topic.

Done!

It was an honest mistake... I went off the date on the comic... October 13, 2015. It got posted at 11:30 PM...

Never tell Pickle to go read your library?

She is constantly pushing Atsali's limits on so many levels, and it's fortunate her big sister loves her so much. Heck, the time she lost her temper and yelled at her, it still seemed to come off like it was Atsali's fault.

Boundaries, Pickle. Learn 'em. Kath, you need to put your foot down.

Just not in any one of the innocuous looking rope rings laying about the apartment....

In fact, Kath should just freeze in place until she clears the place of tripwires...

Why do I get the feeling that stuff like this has happened frequently in the past few years?

And why do I get that same feeling that it'll be happening frequently for quite a few years down the line?

Nope, the lesson is just because you can do something, does not mean that you should--time and place for everything.

In 1968 (when I was 10) John Wayne starred in the hit movie "The Green Berets". I loved that movie, and like most 10 year olds, I had trouble separating reality from fantasy, and dug a punji stick pit, laid a few trip wires, etc in my own backyard--just like in the movie. Parents were furious at first, then explained the differences between movies and real life, and more important, why you don't make boobytraps and mine fields in your own backyard.

Other than the ability to kill fairies, our little pickle is just a typical kid, and Atsali is the bisexual teen age spawn of a Siren and an Incubus . . . so there's that.

There are few things in this world worse than your mom tripping a trap meant for your brother. Trust me on this...

- I'm wondering what heavy object is on the other end of the rope; maybe a large TV or a couch or something...

The best counterweight might be the chest freezer full of the summer's bounty. It's usually tucked away in some innocuous place where no one would notice it was hovering two feet off the floor by way of a rope.
At least it's not a double trigger ala "Predator".

I don't see how resorting to physical violence helps.

But does it still hurt?

Dave wrote:So, just exactly what would be the lesson to be taught?

Punching a being compromised of thorny vines is a bad idea.

Seems we have gone from "normal strange" to "Weirdly Strange. !!"

... and that day, Atsali learned not to trust the floor pie.

Whereas your average teen girl is merely the spawn of a Siren.

My first thought was "Oooo! Piece of candy!"

Alright, I read the whole webcomic (I feel like I clicked a link to TV Tropes). Now tell me, Oh Veteran Reader, is there any new info on their hiatus or is the ETA still last March? Any hope for the continuation of Tuttle and Panka's adventure?

...or Satan.

Especially if they have a blue dress.

He's hinting that it should be coming back soon. Apparently there's a FaceBook page for the coimic with additional art.

It might be mentioned on one of the artists' DeviantArt accounts, but I haven't checked for awhile. To be honest, I had sort of forgotten about that comic until Tuesday's comic (and 16 hours of sleep to sort out what wad at the back of my brain).

One of their DAs is http://ohthatsean.deviantart.com

Also, if you want a zany comic with a longer back log, try Narbonic (6 years, if memory serves) or the tangentially related follow up Skin Horse (8 years and running). Narbonic's art starts off a bit rough, but there is significant art evolution throughout the series' run. Both are written and drawn by Shannon K. Garrity, but she's joined by Jefferey C. Wells in the art and writing of Skin Horse. Both series revolve around mad science and if you've ever heard the term "reality blind", these are where that comes from.

Another zany one (super heroes this time) is Grrl Power. Following the (mis)adventures of one Sydney Scoville Jr. as she joins Archon, a new branch of the armed forces comprised mostly of supers and other quite exceptional individuals (Peggy is one of the world's best snipers and Math (he hates "Mathias") is an absurdly talented martial artist).

For something more artsy and a bit strange, try The Intrepid Girlbot It's got a pretty healthy archive and is told with virtually no dialogue (the only dialogue shows up in 2 of Girlbot's dreams on 5 pages).

I can heartily endorse Narbonic, Skin-Horse and Grrl Power. I haven't heard of The Intrepid Girlbot, but will be checking them out right away.
