Gonna dig me a hole. Gonna put a Bud in it.

Where do you go when there's nowhere to run?

Remember... Phix is there already... as is Shelly... and Euryale... so I'd imagine there are a few others that might just be doing a slow burn too...

"What the Heck", huh?

Uh huh

See? Glyphs.

Important point to note - "Acacia!"

Not "Bud!"

At least it's not "Acacia Budur!"

At least it's not a stentorian "Harcourt! Harcourt Fenton Mudd, what have you been up to?"

I'm not sure it was much milder than that, though. As Monica is a Glyph-speaker, she might be literally turning the air blue with her language.

Well, glad to see Bud restrained herself somewhat. The hole is only slightly larger than she is.

For some reason I'm reminded of the old saying, "Hello Pot, meet Kettle."

Yeah, but all of that sand she kicked up is gonna get into all the wrong places. Their swimsuits are gonna get all itchy an uncomfortable. Then the girls are gonna has to take 'em off and..and...an...w....

*looks off into the distance and drools*

Um, what was I taking about just now?

I rather like Bud's "Uh oh - now I did it..." expression in panel 2

And Paul draws it, but invents a new variant of the Censor Steam trope, "Censor Sand".

It seems Monica's "glyphs" make Bud wish she could just sink into the ground.

... slightly less worried about Tina now. Monica would have freaked out worse if something happened to her. Plus, M's clothes survived. Which is an unusual relief.

I get the sneaking suspicion that Monica DID try calling her Bud but she didn't respond until she used Acacia... Bud must have been raging pretty badly. Poor Tina is prolly off hiding in the Tiki Bar... aaaaaand with that language, I'm hoping that Monica didn't bring Atsali and Castela...

"When you're in a hole, stop digging."

Hee! Helluva temper

Wildcat

Heh! From badass to blushing in 3 frames.

"I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in...."

I think they're both saying something more than "What the heck" there, personally...

First in panel on Buds stance with clenched fist could not be seen from anywhere but inside the hole. As panel 3 shows here to be almost shoulder deep in the hole she created. So either the perspective is way off or Bud jumped into the hole after Monica caller her name.

The size of the hole is WAY TO SMALL for the size of the debris and explosion. I have seen a blast that large on lever ground. The hole was not small and it looked like a plate not a foxhole, it was also 20 feet across as well. This was just from 4 tons of explosives, disposal of expired ammo at an ammo dump in the army. The size of the blast should have created a much larger crater and not so well formed. Even if the force was tightly directed by Buds fist the results shock waves and blast pattern would have resulted in a mach larger circle of destruction.

But just allowing that this hole is all that resulted from Buds anger the force would have been tightly focused. One could only wonder what the world wide grid of seismographs would show from it. And that would have registered.

So now Bud gets to say, :"Ain't this the pits!"

Drops a post hole digger into the jar to be used by those who like to sit on the fence.

A bit of a recurring theme with Monica.
