This could end up as being the most catastrophic Mexican-food incident, since the day that Invader Zim's robo-servant GIR decided to take their house out on the street and ravage downtown in search of BURRITOS!

Edit: And after a quick search to see if that was actually true, well... if it's true for any kind of spiders, it isn't true for jumping spiders. They seem to get similar effects to what we would get. Plants seem to have evolved to produce caffeine because it acts as an insecticide - when consumed ...

https://wapsisquare.com/comic/took-a-sip/ There's been some question about just what sort of eldritch Cthulhoid horror Valerie actually is. I don't think we've ever gotten a good answer to that. However, it's now apparent that despite her tentacles, she must have some avian-dinosaur heritage. That i...

Are you sure a drunken or even tipsy eldritch horror (or whatever Valerie is) is a good idea? No, I'm not sure. Rather the opposite, in fact. Not that it would necessarily be her fault, though. I'm just envisioning the possibility that our ladies might have an unfortunate bar encounter with some ex...

Although that might not last until the following morning, depending on the size and number of pitchers involved.

I'm not certain whether wishing a hangover-induced "big head" on Valerie is either wise or kind...

This house doesn't feel like the same place it used to be, and it will never feel like it used to. It's a cliche which is literally thousands of years old now: you cannot step into the same river twice. It's no longer the same river, and you are not the same person you were. All you can do - all an...

Internal, mental beaver dams sound good.

External beaver dams, not so much. It would take a humongous beaver to build a dam large enough to even slow down what we saw Valerie let loose on Friday.

Possibly, "letting it all hang out" vertically, in an open courtyard (?), might be less destructive or painful than blasting out sideways at a solid wall.

Whew. If that's Valerie when she's frustrated with herself, I really don't think I'd want to encounter her when she's angry. At anyone. About anything.

Correct. These days, it's almost stupidity easy to order commercial-grade printed circuit boards with plated-through holes and vias, solder mask, and silkscreen. The issue you mention - not having to carefully solder components leads to the traces on both sides of the board - really makes commerical...

Not much of a secret, was it?

Body language can be amazingly expressive, even with those who don't have human facial muscles capable of movement.

"Cogito, ergo sum."

Does this mean that a person who gets themselves stupid-drunk is at risk of no longer existing?

So... no history or back-trail. No corpse. No suspects still to be seen.

This will be at least a two-pipe mystery, Watson!

Yes, I rather think they were. In fact, I wonder how much their attitude and behavior towards Briar's friend may have contributed to her suicidal emotional state.

https://wapsisquare.com/comic/separate-things Briar seems to have a way with conversation stoppers! It's tough enough for human kids, having to deal with the social pressures and cliques and loneliness and feeling-the-outsider stuff which comes along with adolescence (and adulthood, too!). For paras...

Probably better than curséd elevators, though.

True... except for those few with an oculodaucus fetish, I suppose.

Cue up episode theme music: Jimi Hendrix, "Purple Haze"

She may "bramble" a bit, as Greg pointed out... but she's pretty sharp! She seems to have understood the whole social and emotional layer-cake of the conversation.
