Speaking of "surprisingly mobile," I found this as I was looking for the comic I just posted in "Hold That Thought."Warrl wrote:And in Gunnerkrigg Court they can be surprisingly mobile in their expressiveness...Leak wrote:Hey, they work for Sequential Art's Art, so...eee wrote:The square eyebrows ARE a bit disconcerting...
and you forget that Nadette isn't actually wearing anything!jwhouk wrote:Before we disappear into the cold Minnesota night, one last observation:
Anyone else notice that Atsali isn't the only one wearing something borrowed from another, older member of the cast? (Nadette in the Nehru Jacket, similar to Shelly's?)
I'm surprised with this group that nobody mentioned the guy with the prosthetic eyebrows from FLCL.Warrl wrote:And in Gunnerkrigg Court they can be surprisingly mobile in their expressiveness...Leak wrote:Hey, they work for Sequential Art's Art, so...eee wrote:The square eyebrows ARE a bit disconcerting...
Well, unless she is very good at thermoregulating herself, she may put on a coat as a concession, to keep warm in winter, which she would wear on top of her pretend clothes...scantrontb wrote:and you forget that Nadette isn't actually wearing anything!jwhouk wrote:Before we disappear into the cold Minnesota night, one last observation:

She can reconfigure herself into a hat or a balloon animal, but you question whether she can thermoregulate?lake_wrangler wrote:Well, unless she is very good at thermoregulating herself, she may put on a coat as a concession, to keep warm in winter, which she would wear on top of her pretend clothes...scantrontb wrote:and you forget that Nadette isn't actually wearing anything!
Neither of which would do much to help her stay warm in the winter...Thor wrote:She can reconfigure herself into a hat or a balloon animal, but you question whether she can thermoregulate?
Interesting. I hadn't even considered that...Thor wrote:The only reason I can think that she would want to put on a coat is if she wanted to be seen taking the coat off, which would be part of blending into the human world.
The big question here is the nature of the polymorph. When she changes into a balloon animal, does she become merely latex and air, or is it just flesh, blood, and bone reconfigured to look like latex and air? And if it is reconfiguration, shouldn't there be a conservation of mass? Is it science or magic or some combination of the two? If it is just science, then there are significant issues to be addressed. If it is at least partially magic, then all practical questions, including changes in mass and thermoregulation go right out the window.lake_wrangler wrote:Neither of which would do much to help her stay warm in the winter...Thor wrote:She can reconfigure herself into a hat or a balloon animal, but you question whether she can thermoregulate?

and please...Thor wrote: She can reconfigure herself into a hat or a balloon animal, but you question whether she can thermoregulate?
she is a *bear* , so she can shrug off 'deep winter' as simply as a few drops of rain.... 
Nope, she is a multidimensional being, she just shifts it all out of the 3rd dimension, and projects the balloon animal... you have heard of toon physics???Thor wrote: The big question here is the nature of the polymorph.

Well, what keeps a bear warm? Their hair, and their fat... She is by no means fat, and she turns her hair into a semblance of clothing, thereby possibly, though not necessarily, losing its warmth component. Their transformative powers have not been explained, so it is a possibility...illiad wrote:and please...Thor wrote: She can reconfigure herself into a hat or a balloon animal, but you question whether she can thermoregulate?
DO please READ my last post right to the end....lake_wrangler wrote:Well, what keeps a bear warm? Their hair, and their fat...

If ye kannea get itt, ok, it just magic... 
Er, no. I was the first to posit that he might be a werewolf, and that is only because werewolves have been mentioned in the strip a fair amount, but as yet never shown, so it seemed logical that it was time for a werewolf. I haven't read (nor seen) Twilight, so that unfortunate connection never crossed my mind.Gyrrakavian wrote:Everyone's guessing he's a werewolf because of his name. My money is on centaur if he's not a mundane.
