Denial is not just a river in Egypt...

Unimpressed Scarlet is not impressed...

Neither is Daylla, for that matter...


The look on the girls' faces in that last panel is dead on!

Okay, butterfly boy, you better watch out for those Crocodylus niloticus . . .

I won't say that's the least convincing claim of being "just friends" I've ever seen . . . but it's getting there!

The right side of Panel Three: "Oh you idiot. You are In For It."

and

"Don't say we didn't try to tell you."

Hiroshi, put that package back on the store shelf, 'cause nobody's buying this!

And the people of Rock Ridge did gather together after the battle and victory, and listen to the words of Sheriff Bart as he spoke of his reason for leaving them.

And they did ponder his works for the length of a gnat's heartbeat, and then did respond in a stirring chorus that did shake the hills:

Bullllll Shit.

Or, as some of our denizens in the XWV like to say:

MINOTAUR SHIT!

Rather like the husband caught in a compromising position with another by the wife. "What are you going to believe hon, your lying eyes or these truth telling lips?"

O...kay. We have now passed the point of 'clueless' and are into 'living in a different universe than the rest of us'. Castela's closest friends just told Hiroshi "Dude, she's hot for you". Even the most oblivious, inexperienced male adolescent wouldn't be able to overlook that. And Castela's own behavior confirms it. Heck, his OWN behavior confirms he's crushing on her. For him to make denials about the former, especially, but also the latter suggests

A) He's lying to cover his confusion and uncertainty;

B) As a cross species hybrid like Atsali, his perceptions and understand of humans and even himself is, like hers, way different from normally wired human beings; or

C) He's under a curse. Maybe the Fae girl gave him a twofer: Butterfly, AND emotionally and socially blind. The latter would be a really serious curse, but one people might not notice for a long time.

I don't think beating him with a clueby4 will work, in this case. I think this is going to take work.

You know, after looking at that scene again . . . I don't think Hiroshi is even convincing himself!


Scarlet and Daylla are both giving him their best parental "you're a liar, son" stare . . . and I suspect Timmy is too!

Ah, so he's a social butterfly, then?

Gives all new meaning to the term 'butterfly effect'. One wonders where the next wing flap will take them?

The Amazon?

Not Amazon. Neither Daylla nor Scarlet is buying anything right now.

He's obviously headed to LinkedIn.

Or, considering the talk Daylla has assigned them in the 11/09 strip, maybe SnapChat.
