I was just curious if you got some sort of enjoyment out of keeping all your readers in suspense and making them guess and anticipate as to what will be next? I know if it was me I’d be having a giddy laugh about knowing what was going to happen and the torture people go through wanting to know.
If I could draw and write like Paul, I’d do the same thing – and spend my evening sitting by the fire cackling with glee. Of *course* he enjoys tormenting us!
Thankfully, Shelly’s body is wedged against the side that has the sidearm…… and her grip Monica probably won’t be able to break, unless that anger light gives Monica a strength boost………….
It’d have to be a pretty good strength boost, considering that, as i recall, Shelly’s strong enough that she once tossed an engine block across her Dad’s shop…
Just waiting for the next shoe to drop and have Doubt try to start wreaking havok while the Golem Girls and Shelly are trying to hold things together with twine and hope
After playing dnd since ’78, I am oft heard yelling ’20!’ at everything from coin tosses to field goals, and no I will NOT admit to it that one time after sex.
So yeah, might be a d50 (even though it looks like a d20 I have that has two of every number) but guess what?
damnit… he got to the post before I did. I recognized it as the Buckyball too… something I and at least two other chem majors and I made a model of in college with an organic molecular model set. It is the grown-up-chem-major-version of legos… (It also seems I cannot reply to bmonk’s post. Must be a limit to how many sub-replies one can do.) It is a D32 as per any truncated icosahedron, as per LL. I’ve also found ways to make large spherical models with origami used only a single folding unit technique. (No, it is not simply crumpling up the paper.) http://britton.disted.camosun.bc.ca/origami/sonobe.html If you add in an extra two folds (an extra valley fold between steps 3 and 4 so the folded edge from the corner comes to the same crease as the corner does in step 3, and you fold the finished unit in half), it’ll be pliable yet sturdy enough to make odd junctions of 4 or 5 or 6 edges at the corner compared to the simple junction of 3 edges at one vertex in a cube. Just felt like sharing in case anyone wanted to play around with that sort of stuff.
A d48 would look like this: http://thm-a01.yimg.com/nimage/185f6263e1fefdd6
A d50 would have faces shaped like a kite: http://www.icteachers.co.uk/children/sats/images/kite.gif as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice
If I was Monica I’d just “poit” away even if it’s just to the other side of the room. I hope she doesn’t think of that if she needs to “sit still” as it were.
So that’s how the facelights are going to come into play! Oh this is getting so good! Not sure I like the way Jin is smiling tho’!
Hi Fairportfan and Old Wolf!
I’m still wondering if the barista needs to be involved in some way…
Well they had to get her lit somehow, I guess the ends justify the means sometimes. Hope this doesn’t go downhill from here, if she realizes what’s up before the hammer stops ringing she could calm down. Weird to think that a woman calming down would be a bad thing, nice twist!
I thought that’s where the bookbag came from… None of them wore it into the temple… And come to think of it, does this mean Bud has even Georgette beat in the metabolism department? Or is she disqualified?
Is anyone else getting agitated by him putting a mini-cliffhanger on EVERY. FREAKING. PAGE! I’ve faded the printing on my bloddy F5 key because of him. WS is worse than crack, now.
The same thing happened to me while reading Serenity Rose http://www.heartshapedskull.com/ it’s a fun stress as a reader and I kinda liked it. =) Also, I’m evil.
A snatch and grab! Brilliant!
Hugs! Hugs are better than stabbings, it tends to smooth things over in the long run.

My the silken breast of Mogg’s paternal aunt, this strip is so _awesome_…
There goes the disco ball!

Yes.

Yes, an engine block. And one time before that, an entire V8 engine.
OOooooh — now comes the mirror ball — bet it won’t be to do disco dancing under!
Heh, There should be disco guitar chikka-wow-wow to go with that ball. =)
Oh there is, just that it’s in my head so you have to listen REALLY hard.
Does anybody else notice that Jin’s showing her face lights even though Bud said not to?
So is Bud.
The disco ball? Is the timing mechanism????
That first panel is amazing!
Just waiting for the next shoe to drop and have Doubt try to start wreaking havok while the Golem Girls and Shelly are trying to hold things together with twine and hope
Bud’s rolling for Critical Damage!
20!
I think that thing’s more like a d50.

It is not a regular polyhedron, having both pentagonal and hexagonal faces. It looks like a truncated icosahedron.
AKA Buckyball, or buckminsterfullerene.

What I wonder is – why couldn’t bud keep all the really essential parts in her stomach space?
Also, I sigh at my family. Quote overheard: ” this would only be better if they threw in a mudslide and a pile of jello.”

Yes, you are! I love it!
Damn it did she roll to hit or not!
