Perfect way to introduce Monica to Atsali. "She's family, she's caring, she's approachable, she's as much of a geek as you are... oh, yeah, and you can see why we think you ought to talk to her."

("Atsali was worried about you" -- Lettering glitch? -- Already fixed; thank you! I know how that happens; sometimes -- especially when you're focused on the detail of layout rather than the script -- the wrong neuron fires. I get the same thing when programming sometimes.)

I'm a leetle bit confused at the wording of the last panel... "Atsali was worried about you"? Who is she addressing if not Atsali herself?

Bud talking to Atsali: "Atsali was worried about you, so we kept her calm, and..."
Shouldn't that be "Castela was worried about you..."?

Hit F5 =)

That settles that. Sali did not know who Monica was. She did know about Monica being one of the extend Aunties that Pickle inducted into the family. But she had never met her, never seen her, or been told who else Monica was. From Sali's expression it hasn't sunk in yet but it will. Does she say What? or Are you kidding me? tomorrow? Another choice is double take and jaw hits the floor. Everyone who thought Sali did not know gets a cookie. I think we need to get Phix to make more cookies.

I think Castela owes the pun jar.

Given her structure, that may not actually be a pun.

So, is Pickle gonna learn to do a full human morph ... or is there a special school for paranormals?

And if so, are there more than one, in more than one cities - or is there just one and Miss Frizzle picks up kids all over the country/world every day?

Not to pick another nit - though i am - but shouldn't it be "socially awkward"?

============

Always happens - give somebody grief about an error and a typo slips right past and you don't see it till after you hit "Submit"

i agree with Zachariah in that Atsali did NOT "know" who the Jaguar Girl was anymore than most people wouldn't "know" who the SECOND in command is from any country NOT their own unless it impacts them in their daily lives to need to have to know it... same thing here, Atsali "knows" there is somebody that goes by the title "Jaguar Girl" but she doesn't really know or care exactly WHO that person IS because it doesn't affect HER as a long-term orphan that was just recently adopted, but can you imagine the panic that would set in for some ordinary joe-schmoe--bum-on-the-street being told that "oh yeah, we want you to tell the President of the United States of America your views on how to promote Whirled Peas, oh yeah, he's on his way over right NOW..." that's exactly what's going on here... she has this stereotyped mindset that she's a nobody/scum of the earth and is being told that she needs to talk to this megastar of a Jaguar Girl in order to help her thru the angsty portions of puberty... yeah right... that went as well as i expected it to go over...

and while i was proof reading this, i got ninja'd by Fairportfan over the "socially awkward" bit...

but that's OK... I ALWAYS expect Ninja's...

But, how can it be "kin-dirt garden"? Castela said that she's the only one of her kind - the only "whatsit". Alas, she has no "kin" to share the dirt in her garden (although she now has one hell of a fine family!)

(but, since you feel that she owes the Pun Jar, I'll contribute on her behalf: a tablature for "No-no-no-kin On Heaven's Door")

Is it me or does Atsali look like a younger version of Monica? Well, maybe if she let her hair grow longer.

You're Welcome

Huh; somebody seems to have taken a level in grown-up since three pages ago when we last saw her. Different shirt, fuller shinier lips, and is she taller? Is she relaxing her hold on her more-immature shape now that the puberty thing has been found out, or is it just a shift in how she's being drawn today?

...and her legs and body (especially her legs) shorter...

I think her top is one of the three layers she was wearing over the binding.

Atsali seems to be maturing as we speak... did anyone else notice she doesn't have that early early teenish look anymore? The breast augmentation notwithstanding, Sali LOOKS older... No wonder she's so scared... knowing what she is and how others think of her kind and dealing with puberty at the same time. Now add the stress of finding out your aunt is the Jaguar Girl...

Loxmyth, you can edit the thread title to add the missing date. It should be in YYYY-MM-DD format.

You know what this intervention is missing?

Amanda!

Can't have a proper M-boob talk without Amanda's perspective, now can we?

While Monica did introduce Amanda to the supernatural in her own life and the events surrounding the calendar, would Amanda be ready to deal with the supernatural world at large?
