Also...
Cartoon physics.
Function follows form.
Those eyes are flat (well, actually, in this case, a thin layer
over two curved surfaces.
It's the same principle as the eyes of the characters in
My Little Pony.
They would HAVE TO BE FLAT to be that large and allow room
in their skulls for brains.

They exited stage left after their comedy relief bit was finished. Currently in the library with one of them trying to figure out how scatter brained she really is.

Some would argue that's a moot point.

In the case of some of the ponies, i'd say the eyes don't have to be flat at all...

Pooh.
I didn't notice this.
Only in some cases.

I find it interesting that Nadette has given herself seam lines in the jumpsuit that is her.
Since the jumpsuit was made up of her and was formed rather than woven, there is no reason that it cannot be one piece of continuous "cloth".
Also, considering that Nadette's voice -- since she didn't form a mouth-larynx-lungs setup, she must be using a section of herself in that area as a vibrating membrane to produce sound like one of those flat stereo speakers. (Or, maybe it's just magic.)
So I wonder if Atsali and Nadette are going to get praise or admonishment by the time this is all wrapped up?

What gets me is how fast Lily identified that the 2 of them, and doesn't seem upset by the current arrangement. Or taken notice of the yawning crater.
The better question is where the eyes were before they were checking out the rear? Did Nadette get a good eye full of Sali??? Or when they were flying did her eyes take position on the best places to see where they were going? Panal 1 suggests not but the voice appears to come from where the eyes are. So maybe Nadette blinked at that moment? If so two eyes and two points to put them on. Bet it gave truly wonderful depth perception.

The eye is a VERY delicate and sensitive organ. So if she tried, Nadette would have had to been VERY careful. Being that the outfit is skintight, there's not much room for eying the inside.
Also, REMINDER: both characters are minors.

My double-take of the day:
"NORAD? What's the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation to do with this?"
Google tells me it's also North American Aerospace Defense Command. Makes better sense.
Aside: English acronyms of Norwegian institutions are a story to themselves. Like the Norwegian University of Technology and Science (they've changed it since).
Personally I spent a year at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment. The joke was to avoid running that acronym through a spellchecker.

You have remember toon physics! this comic is NOT reality, please do not overthink, it is **fantasy**...
Also drawing effects - this not a 3d comic !
if no 'crease lines' were drawn, you would just see a featureless shape... :p

So the two survived their daft plan (ee)
but were found by a quite irate Granny
to make matters worse
Nadette spotted her first
with her eyes perched on Atsali's fanny!
... all seriousness aside, what of the signal that started this whole escapade? And... as the anti-matter bomb was triggered by the death of said Senator, how is it that she just RECENTLY died? Or was the signal a warning/delay to that effect?
... ask Tsillah- the shadow knows!

Remember when we first met Berdine and Nadette that they weren't necessarily clothes shopping rather they were there "getting ideas because you can only get so many ideas from magazines". They probably have an eidetic memory of what they see so they tend to recreate what their memory tells them... seams, wrinkles and all... It would be second nature to do this for their illusion to be believable to others seeing them.
Magic? Nah... It's just Wapsi!!!

This is all the fault of the Library! Every single bit (well, maybe not Atsali's clothing...). The Library shows an amazing lack of caution with the lives that pass through it and I strongly suspect that Katherine is going to blow her top right alongside Tsillah when she hears about this latest escapade. Not that it will do any good.

She can ground Atsali for the rest of her teenage years...

If Confusion Corner was a real place I would only leave to haul additional supplies on my cargo bike and do the laundry.

well its a signal that escaped the 'mapimi effect', possibly a signal to send help??? the library wants to know, there could be 'great tech' there!! and atsali (the etithian part) does not want the present world ruined by it..
'the girl in the stasis tube' is...
- 'potentially dead' thanks to the explosion of Mapimi, there is no tech to save here very badly damaged state... or she has been there too long, the tube was faulty... etc..
- she has knowledge that people will kill for?? she knew this, so set a bomb to erase everything, if she was 'revived' without a password???
speculate on....

IF she hears about it...... :/
"where did that *nice* bra you got go to??? "
" dunno, it's around here somewhere... ??:E "
"weren't you with that nice girl Nadette?? "
And I think Kath will then hear how Lily used too much 'reverse psychology' on her.. and start ranting 'she is a kid, you shoulnt SAY thinks like that!!!'...
BUT we have the whole week to get it all wrong....
