Running on all fours? The week and next are certainly going to enlightening.

And M is showing artifacts around her eyes much like Shelly does in mid-transformation.

And I was ninja'ed by NerfDweller by less than a minute.

Monica's day is off to galloping start! Looks like its going to be a long week of new discoveries for the little Jaguar Girl. LOL

I particularly like Monica's appearance in frame one, myself.

and i would say i kinda called that M is going thru what shelly went thru{but so many was guessing the same thing} when her animal side comes out, now we get to see the fun with m dealing with it

I know! Of course you're running on all fours, Monica-- you're in the MIND OF SHELLY.

(Addendum: I also like the line of panel 2, which I think of as My Little Jaguar: Sacrifice Is Magic.)

Specifically a jaguar, I imagine. I'd been assuming that the "jaguar" in "Jaguar Girl" was just an honorific, symbolizing her new power and her role as an intermediary to the dead... but from the way she's charging along in panel 2 it might turn out to be quite literal!

If she were more of a foodie I'd call her a galloping gourmet... and if she heads up a tree and gets stuck and starts calling "Help! Help!"...

Just need the Big Twinkle Eyes and you're there!

M better be careful running on all fours unless she is wearing her super sports bra. Her rack could easily break her arms from momentum alone. Does this now mean that M will have a litter of kittens when she whelps?

Shh. You might scare Kevin with that idea.

Compared to every other paranormal she knows, she is a kitten.

No one's pointed out yet that Nudge is saying that she's never heard the Library speak except that once-- which makes it speaking an even more rare an occurrence, since Nudge was imprisoned there for untold years before Phix was assigned.

So I'm wondering if Nudge (or Paul) is counting this rejoinder as common, or as equally extremely rare.

Maybe Bibliothiki just vocalizes in Monica's presence. She's such a cwute li'l pootie-poot after all.

...

Maybe Bibliothiki is a crazy cat lady.

Man that makes such horrifyingly good sense. Great catch.

Me too, but I kind of feel bad for giggling this much.

So, is Dietzel going to chase her up a tree, or the other way around?

Not to mention the changes to the layout of the bathroom/litter box....

If she's careful and keeps her rhythm, when she reaches a certain point the oscillations will reinforce each other, pumping energy into the stride and letting her run for long distances with less effort.

Except - shes a Jaguar Girl, not an oscillot.



(Adds a set of rubber fangs to the Pun Jar)

Seeing Monica with a permanent set of fangs will take some getting used to, at least for me. With Shelly, there was kind of a build up.

With M it's fairly abrupt, though to be fair, I'm relatively certain she feels the same way about it.

Another thought from yesterday, the " sub Titan " comment from the library. In aeronautics, technically anything moving slower than the speed of sound is " subsonic". A rock sitting on the ground for example, would qualify, but the term is usually reserved for aircraft that bump right up against the speed of sound, like most jet airliners.

The implications are that Monica is just short of Titanic power. In most interpretations of myth, Titans are a personification of some broad thing or force. Chronos embodies time, Bia embodies Force.

Gods, on the other hand, are more specialized, less powerful than Titans in the broad sense, but extraordinarily powerful in the narrow scope of their portfolio, like love or war...

Or being able to communicate with the dead and demons and walk in both worlds, for example.

I think maybe the title "Jaguar Girl" is much bigger upgrade than Monica realizes.

Called it!

Yup. I was thinking : "Ooo, Somebody called it yesterday." but maybe thats just a 'Fight or Flight'response?

An interesting development. At any rate, Monica should now have a bit more compassion for Shelley's condition.
And, I've decided pointy teeth are hot.
