Jin (and everyone else) had just been in the temple with a special connection to the spirit world. Jin’s demon was defeated or very distracted there. I’m guessing that allowed the ghost to establish a connection with Jin.
There are two “little girls” – one is Shelly’s conscience, one is a little girl from thousands of years ago, who may or may not have existed, and haunts Bud’s dreams.
She (if she really existed and isn’t just a figment of Bud’s nightmares) was vapourised in the catastrophe when the chimera (mostly acting on Bud’s rage, if i read and remember aright). Bud’s nightmares show her looking out of her home and seeing the wall of plasma coming…
It seems Monica still has a couple of issues about turning out to NOT actually be the center of the Universe like she always imagined. I dunno what she’s pissed about — so she turned out to be the clown car instead of a clown, it happens.
Don’t forget that doubt has been beating on her sense of self-worth. She’s going to pretty fragile. Plus she is a scientist and understanding things is very important to her. If she doesn’t understand something, she has no idea what to do. Also, I doubt that she understands that was just one of Tina’s demons talking. It probably was a bit of a shock to her that Tina would say something like that. And she’s just plain frightened for her safety, of course.
omg i just found this comic sunday night and just read the entire thing….i am blown away by it, it is absolutely amazing, the art is fatastic and the story line kicks ass. Its hard for me to find good webcomics that i enjoy but this has to be one of my favorites!!!
I believe it was through girls with slingshots either that or questionable content…those are the only other two I read
but i have to say that your comic brings webcomics to a whole new level! Please keep them coming!!!
Irrelevant?!! You can take your God Damned Ancient Prophecies and shove them up your ass! I just survived being stabbed in the head!! The last thing I need ############# another life or death odeyssey ###### cryptic riddle #######one more fucking forgotten prophecy fell on my lap! I just wanted a simple cup of coffee! What the hell is the matter with all of you!!!
Minor quibble, “What the hell is WRONG with all of you” That O between the legs makes me think it’s that instead of “the matter”. Of course, I could be “the matter”. (c8
Bud doesn’t seem to be taking what Tina said with a grain of salt. Tina warned her to do that here and on the following page. Tina could be wrong. Even if Tina is correct, Bud could be jumping to the wrong conclusion. I don’t particularly think so, though.
I never understood why Tina was so insistent about Bud taking what she said with a grain of salt…
I am left with the distinct impression that Monica isn’t quite as recovered from the emotional roller-coaster ride of dealing with the calendar machine as she thought she was. Hey, she was bored and wanted to start hunting for trouble; why should she be upset over trouble coming to her first?
Actually, I don’t think that she wanted to hunt for trouble. She was worried that another shoe would drop. And she used the term “supernatural hassle“. Yes she was bored, but she didn’t want much of an adventure, either.
Of course, Tepoz all but guaranteed that a shoe would drop…
i have always wondered why the chimera distroyed so much.
Anger can be very focused sometimes. sure they would have vapourised anyone close-by and stuff but that would have calmed em down a little.
Perhaps they technically only distroyed the close-to-the-pit part but the kid was in that part and she kinda egged em on to kill the rest.
I like this comic makes me think and consider what can happen next Even if im totally wrong its still fun to do so
Yeah, usually I got the impression that it was all one big “blam”. Granted, the dream made it look as if it was a series of smaller blams.
In any case, there wasn’t anything other than Jin, who wasn’t strong enough, to stop the destruction. There wasn’t anything inside Bud or Brandi at that point to say, “OK, that’s enough” or to even realize that there was anything wrong with what they were doing.
Basically the chimera destroyed everything that moved — when it ran out of things that moved anywhere in the range that it could sense, the chimera probably just stopped. Considering the power that each of the individual GGGs can bring to bear, the power of the chimera was far greater still — so you can expect that anything it attacked was obliterated, along with a vast area on all sides.
And the scary thing? The destruction they wrought was rather restrained, compared to what they actually are able to do if they pull out all the stops … http://wapsisquare.com/comic/hurtfeelings/
Guess she disagrees? Hard to make your point sometimes when you’re tossed unceremoniously over someone’s shoulder and carried out.
Interesting.
It seems as if Tina – that is, the full committee – may not even be aware of what Tina – that is, one of her components – said…
Dude, that avatar is creepier than the original panel!
Thank you, thank you.
Go to the Comfy Couch for a full-size view
Did so – nice work!
No she is fully aware of what she said.
She just wants to know if the girls still want their coffee.
This is Tina after all
I think that Monica respectfully disagrees with Tina’s assessment of her need to understand the situation.
Ya think? Maybe? You’re sure you’re not reading too much into her calm response?
So Jin might be haunted by that little girl in Bud’s vision ?
I love Tina in the final panel .
She still looks uncharacteristically frazzled…
This is one where I’d love to see what the wall-o-text in panel 2 says.
Also, does anyone have a link to the page where Bud mentions the nightmare?
I think someone posted it yesterday.

I wonder if Paul gave Jin round eyes to match the round eyes of the girl. In theory, it could have been the ghost girl saying that her house was vaporized, but there were palm trees around her house, not pine. There were mountains in the background, though.
Hmm, that didn’t work right….
Attempt #2:
I wonder if Paul gave Jin round eyes a couple of days ago to match the round eyes of the girl…
Also, Bud’s original nightmare: http://wapsisquare.com/comic/dontwanttoremember/
And here I always thought that the “little girl” was Shelly’s conscience…
Jin (and everyone else) had just been in the temple with a special connection to the spirit world. Jin’s demon was defeated or very distracted there. I’m guessing that allowed the ghost to establish a connection with Jin.

OOps. “…when the chimera destroyed the world…”
Hey Pablo – can we have the full text of Monica’s calm and reasoned response to Tina’s assessment of her opinion’s validity and relevance?
It seems Monica still has a couple of issues about turning out to NOT actually be the center of the Universe like she always imagined. I dunno what she’s pissed about — so she turned out to be the clown car instead of a clown, it happens.
Actually, i think Monica’s problem is being dragged into this stuff and then given the mushroom treatment.
Don’t forget that doubt has been beating on her sense of self-worth. She’s going to pretty fragile. Plus she is a scientist and understanding things is very important to her. If she doesn’t understand something, she has no idea what to do. Also, I doubt that she understands that was just one of Tina’s demons talking. It probably was a bit of a shock to her that Tina would say something like that. And she’s just plain frightened for her safety, of course.
Hey, Bud’s got new boots! Yay!
She likes big clunky-heeled, fur-topped romperstomper ass-kicking boot.
She’s a practical girl. And someone you don’t want to mess with. But she didn’t always dress that way…

Thank you so much for the positive words! ^_^ If you don’t mind me asking, how did you find Wapsi?
You didn’t address me, but for your records, IIRC I followed a link Fairportfan posted on Pibgorn.
And i don’t remember where i found it – i follow up two or three links or ads a week on the comics i already read.
I believe it was through girls with slingshots either that or questionable content…those are the only other two I read
but i have to say that your comic brings webcomics to a whole new level! Please keep them coming!!!
Geesh! Monica’s got a hair trigger lately. Doesn’t take much to set her off. I recommend Xanax. It will make you love everyone. For about an hour.
“Do you Guys want your Coffees?” GREAT!!!
Could we see the unblocked version of M’s rant? Censored for language or otherwise?
I prefer steak to pablum, so I’d rather take my rant’s straight up, thankie.
Also I second the request.
# = means blocked by cute mexican, or chimera.

Yes. We do.

Thanks Dusty!
“What the hell is up with all of you?!!”
Can’t physically fit the word “wrong” in the space between “is” and “with”.
Guess I slipped my own vocal pattern in there for a sec, thanks!
Not one of several thousand, but an amalgamation?
There will be no world saving before coffee! It right there in the Geneva conventions!
Hell, even Janeway said “There’s Coffee in that Nebula!”
Cup of coffee & a cookie, then ready for business.

That was when they were working on the calendar machine problem.
Perhaps Tina knew that even her demons might be untrustworthy in that matter.
I am left with the distinct impression that Monica isn’t quite as recovered from the emotional roller-coaster ride of dealing with the calendar machine as she thought she was. Hey, she was bored and wanted to start hunting for trouble; why should she be upset over trouble coming to her first?
Monica likes being in control, or at least feeling like she.
“…I can call up spirits from the vasty deep. –”
” — Why so can I, or so can any man;
But will they come, when you do call for them?”
She’s young; she’ll learn better, if she doesn’t get herself killed first.
Actually, I don’t think that she wanted to hunt for trouble. She was worried that another shoe would drop. And she used the term “supernatural hassle“. Yes she was bored, but she didn’t want much of an adventure, either.
Of course, Tepoz all but guaranteed that a shoe would drop…

I like this comic
makes me think and consider what can happen next 
Even if im totally wrong its still fun to do so 
“Those poor girls erased that entire civilisation from the surface of the planet … They left a dent that changed the polarity of the Earth instantly…”
Yeah, usually I got the impression that it was all one big “blam”. Granted, the dream made it look as if it was a series of smaller blams.
In any case, there wasn’t anything other than Jin, who wasn’t strong enough, to stop the destruction. There wasn’t anything inside Bud or Brandi at that point to say, “OK, that’s enough” or to even realize that there was anything wrong with what they were doing.

I was kind of looking for that one, actually.
Yeah, well, the Chilean earthquake apparently tilted the earth’s axis, too.
It changed the “figure axis” – the axis through the center of mass; the rotation axis is still the same.
Someone is being a spoiled little princess.
I’ve always thought that’s why Bud calls her that!
Bud being in the “not putting up with a lotta bullcrap” camp.
… One Dozen bagels for $3.99!? Hot Diggidy Dawg!
Now I’m curious to see exactly what was all the ranting text in the background lol
