Just referring to her feathers in a ruffle and roosting on Kath. That, and she's wearing a disguise to look human, guys.

and to be fair, Atsali wouldn't be the first disguise themselves as human

anyone who worked out who that link refers to can go get themselves a cookie (or biscuit or other treat).

ps: shadowinthelight gets two cookies for making the connection before I did.

How are they able to see? They're buried underground, under tons of rubble in an alcove (which is apparently MUCH larger on the inside than it looked from the outside). They should be in absolute darkness...

And I'm not sure Kath is going to survive being around Atsali much longer.

Notice that Atsi never apologized for kicking Kath? Just said that it's what she does when surprised. Kath should kick her somewhere and say the same thing.

um, bottom left panel....

That is Kath commenting on the giant spider she has just seen carved into the wall, not getting back at Atsi.

Not only is she a chicken, but Kath can be thankful that she's even less than a bantamweight.

I don't think Atsali is a bantamweight. Remember Atsali flew and carried a full grown adult human through the Library. I think Katherine dodged yet another bad outcome.

Hmm. Dodging bad outcomes... That could be Katherine's schtick.

Other than Clint Eastwood, you mean? I thought the spaghetti-western spit-take after the High Plains Drifter reference was a particularly nice touch.

They are seeing from the glowing light of the giant spiders eight eyes. *shudder
Wdot's curse word dictionary:
Bitch /biCH/n. isn't a swear word in and of itself. It is the proper term for a female canine like cow is used for female bovines. Used professionally without laughing in the AKC show circuit. It only becomes reprehensible when directed at a human female, as in: "What a bitch!" Due to the Hays' commission it could only be referenced in movies for the longest time. Joan Crawford used it this way: "'And by the way, there's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in high society - outside of a kennel.'" It is only accurate if the woman has slept with your best friend, taken your house, your classic Corvette, and your entire baseball card collection and laughed about it in public; then and only then can it be used and then only once. Your female friends, however, may use it frequently and vehemently when directed at her. When directed at a guy as in "You son-of-a-bitch!" it is a two fer. You've insulted his mother AND him by calling his mother a dog and inferring from that HE is also a dog. Yeah, it doesn't usually go over too well. It is currently unknown how werewolves feel about the term. I've never used the term except when referring to female canines or as a general expletive due to injury. v. to complain incessantly.
Katherine has used it properly in this instance. (I did this because I knew the Joan Crawford quote and thought it was classy, like her.)

I just love the detail in the background suggesting a. Much. LARGER. Carving in the rock.
(I can't resist) Its a good thing this all didn't take place in caverns by the Seashore...Otherwise Katherine would be looking at a Rock LOBSTAH! *sorry*

Does she also walk between raindrops as well?

I think she's speaking metaphorically, as in "dodged a bullet" (which, so far, only Monica has a demonstrated ability to do IRL).

On the other hand, we have been shown today that Katherine probably doesn't have the ability to dodge a pullet.

(Drops a golden egg into the Pun Jar)

My Ma, she had medical training to be an EMT, was a Dental Assistant, part-time Nurse, and a farm girl. She saw some really gruesome things in her life, and never blinked. But if a spider, or flying bug got near her, she pretty much reacted like young siren here.

Apropos of nothing much, I'm reminded of an old poster for an insect exhibit at the Toronto Natural History Museum: "Go to the museum, and step on it."

There was an arachnids display at Fernbank Science Center here in Atlanta (I think it had scorpions as well as spiders.), and it had a nicely creepy promo tag ... but i can't remember it.
