Bravissima. But it's even better than that, Dave. With the Li'l Atsali installments over the weekend previous, the concept of plot itself is spun down to the elemental place of the child, discovering, through Atsali, why adventure tales leave so much reality out in the first place. The bad guy lost, and your sister saved the day.Dave wrote:Seems to me that if you've just come through a terrible conflict with a horrible, vengeful, hateful power from the past, and have faced down fear, pain, death, blithe uncaring, and thoughtless manipulation ...Yamara wrote:Conflict is an ass!
... then the perfect response is to behave in the opposite of all of these ways. Exhibiting "greatness of heart" can be the best answer to the harmful deeds of the selfish.
Bravo, Katherine!
Would you believe that the park had to restrict access as people were actually going out there to break off pieces of the glass and take them home as souvenirs!!!!Hansontoons wrote:

Yes, and Darwin & Wallace have been proven right on the experimental level through bacteria, too!zachariah wrote:Would you believe that the park had to restrict access as people were actually going out there to break off pieces of the glass and take them home as souvenirs!!!!Hansontoons wrote:

Yep. Access is now limited to twice a year and visitors must be accompanied. I missed the access date by a week or two, would have been an interesting stop.zachariah wrote:Would you believe that the park had to restrict access as people were actually going out there to break off pieces of the glass and take them home as souvenirs!!!!Hansontoons wrote:

This is wonderful! Though I will admit I'm a little nervous about Castela being invited to join the adventure party. These ladies tend to have dangerous adventures, and a little tyke like Pickle could cause some problems for lack of knowing how to behave. Maybe Kat's just framing her invitation to be adopted that way to help Castela feel included?Nah...not a problem at all. My mom used to say that one of the perks of having a daughter was that she could wander the house in the buff if she wanted...because Dad obviously has seen it all before, and I have "the same parts" so it's not a big deal for me to see hers.Jay-Em wrote:That...sounds loverly..TheDOCTOR wrote:Well, Katherine did say she wanted an adventure.

Although, suddenly thought of something: How will the kids handle Kat's ehrm "peculiar" housewear (or lack thereof)??
There's going to be some mighty adapting going on with both parties, kids & Kat.
Kat's gonna have two girls, so she can use the same "excuse" as my mom did...which may be for the best. I certainly credit her behavior for my lack of body-shyness.

Bad Dave! Not nearly enough heavy water to cover that atoll.Dave wrote:And not even that, in this story arc.

"Oh! Yes, please!" The feels!!Or Castela could be the sort of person who you do want around in a dangerous situation. One of the themes in this comic is that things are seldom what first impressions imply them to be. Who knows what exactly she is or why her parents wanted to leave her at an orphanage? After all, this is a gal who cries barbed-wire tendril thingies. There's no telling what else she can do if she gets upset (I wonder if her last name is Evan?).Julie wrote:Though I will admit I'm a little nervous about Castela being invited to join the adventure party.

I suspect she already knew that Atsali and Castela had a very close bond and that Atsali might choose to stay with her rather than leave.DilyV wrote:She shoots... She Scores!!!
Kath took the additional twist of Castela better than I expected, though I'd say another adventure is juuuuuust beginning! Adventures in Parenting!

You're right... it's two sides of the same fairy-tale coin. The original versions of the Grimm fairy tales were quite adult in flavor, and much darker that the childrens' versions usually told today.Yamara wrote:But it's even better than that, Dave.

The complexities and follies of war and genocide and grasping for immortality are for the adults to clean up; the whispers in the other room that will merely tease a young curiosity, for now.
Actually it is not all gone. Some small parts of it are left. I was on Kwajalien years ago and talked to a research team that was monitoring and testing the atoll and it's ecology for long term effects of the test. The radiation is way down but some of the changes in the local sea life area startling. Especially in the coral. So while the pun was a good it wasn't right atoll.analyst wrote:I think he was talking about the island going missing. "Due to the nuclear explosion, there is no Bikini atoll to be seen."

gawd... dont be **so** desperate!!! that's a bit like the report a few days ago, some rag saying they have seen (they outlined it in red) {{famous star}}'s 'private area' (edited for decency..DilyV wrote: Um... Is Kath flashing upskirt in the next to last panel??!!
) - - its not even *near* the 'bikini line' .... *bloop!*chicgeek wrote:Now, I want to see the kids meet Oscar. And see the reactions of Katherine's fish to the kids.
I realize its a small reveal, really tiny really, and its not as risqué say, as Atsali realizing by experience how soft Kath's breasts are... but I noticed it. I'm not saying it was intentional on Kath's part either. We've seen more risqué from Monica, Shelly, Bud, Brandi and Jin. Kath has become more and more attractive during this latest adventure and I believe its a result of finding her self esteem. It's a good thing to see.scantrontb wrote:You!, Miss DilyV are a twisted, perverted person to think that Paul would have to resort to that kind of fan-service to keep his readership.... huh, I Knew there was something i liked about you!...DilyV wrote:Um...

though seriously, i agree with shadowinthelight: nothing worse than what we see on American TV now-days, and barely that if even...
