From previous strips and this one I think we can peg Castela's height at 30-32", or about right for a kid about to enter kin-dirt-garden.

What's with the 'Frankie Says', though? It's cute, but I don't get it. Frankie?

You must be a youngin. It was a big line of T-Shirts back in the 80's based on a song from the group Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

Hee! No, I'm an old'un. Creaking past the half century mark. Frankie slipped under my radar, I guess. Thanks for the answer!

We discussed it here a while back, and i pointed out that it's properly "Frankie Say Relax" (and i found some pics that backed that up) because it's not a person named Frankie saying it, it's the members of the band saying it collectively.Mark N wrote:You must be a youngin.

Sali now has a lot more room for advertising on her t-shirts.
Ambush questions are fun. Watching the mental impact of them as they distort, or crumble, opinions based on faulty logic.

Is it just me does everyone wish these art pages stay up for a good long while? I love Atsali being confident and bold because it shows the current situation is going to be resolved in a positive manner. And besides Castela is just so cuuuuuuttte.

Man does that T-Shirt take me back, back over 30 years and I think I might still have the Frankie 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome" CD!
Vive la weird!
Re: Atsali Castela Got Your Back 2013-12-01
I can haz question? hehe Has Castela given up on making her eyes look human? We saw her trying when we first met her... I was wondering if she made any headway.
I love this piece... Always loved the song, and Atsali's stance says "Don't mess with us!"

I imagine she's still trying - maybe the MIB kid-dirt garden has a shapeshift tutor. That may, in fact, be how she got so knowledgeable about the Ursamorph twins. I hope they prove Atsali's fears of rejection false - they seem very straightforward and truly friendly.DilyV wrote:I can haz question? hehe Has Castela given up on making her eyes look human?

Woo.
Even without the augmentation to her upper-story structure, with that pixie face, platinum hair, all-over (apparently) freckles and those legs, Atsali won't have to be a siren to wreak havoc in the ranks of hormone-addled boys (and likely some girls) her own age...

Re: Atsali Castela Got Your Back 2013-12-01
the real question is why did the chaperon let her go shopping in Spencer's Cards and Gifts--the have stuff in their that is not appropriate for young ladies--bachelor parties perhaps, but not little shrubs going into kin-dirt gardenJSStryker wrote:Man does that T-Shirt take me back, back over 30 years and I think I might still have the Frankie 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome" CD!
And don't ask me how I know Spencer's sells those Tee-shirts. . . .
Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?

I know I'm getting old now. I remember the store that came before The Barefoot Mailman in the 70's.

There's quite a few Spencer's here in the 'Peg; not my first destination for clothing/accessories or home décor, but some interesting items nonetheless.Mark N wrote:Spencer's is still around?

Yes, got a Spencer's near me as well. The most interesting thing about them is that they simply haven't changed in the least since the 1970s -- not at all. Just update the celebrities and musicians on the posters and T-Shirts, and there you go!MerchManDan wrote:There's quite a few Spencer's here in the 'Peg; not my first destination for clothing/accessories or home décor, but some interesting items nonetheless.Mark N wrote:Spencer's is still around?

Black-light posters in the back, goofy toys/gear/games in the middle, and T-Shirt du Jour up front. Solid business plan.

To me, Spencer's feels like it has changed quite a bit. It used to have some of everything for everybody but now feels like their focus is overwhelmingly on the drinking/weed smoking college crowd. Much less fantasy and fun to be had.

Re: Atsali Castela Got Your Back 2013-12-01
I can't but not notice that Atsali has her left hand curled into a strong looking fist.
Which for some reason makes me see Castela's facial expression as her "My big sister can rip a grown man in half" look.
