Castela literally controls every FIBER of her body. At some level she lookks the way she does because she CHOOSES to [“Fat Baby Ankles” not withstanding.]
In my head it’s a bit like the Matrix. Logically, Neo could make himself look any way he wanted…it’s all just ones and zeros after all and he could manipulate that to some extent. However, how he looks is entirely a unconscious effort. I think stink weed would have to convince herself that she looks that way without thinking about it if she wants to have “girls” like that naturally.
Yup!
There’s a lot going on here:
o Pickle may be snarky about it, but she knows the trouble that Atsali’s appearance causes for her. She’s helped toughen her up. [Most recently using her as a “Nuclear Option.”]
o Atsali is clearly an Emotional, and not just a Physical threat to other Para’s that are nominally female.
o Castela’s “growth issue” was totally subconscious, and she snapped back into her non-threatening base form, [minus the eyes,] the instant Scarlet touched her shoulder.
[Scar’ knew why her blouse was shredded.]
Interesting!
I think it’ll kick in as soon as Cass feels like she’s old enough to develop that way. Maybe in comparison to some of her friends’ ages. It’ll probably be something like Atsali’s sudden growth spurt, that nobody sees coming.
Yeah….
That was my impression…her not being a mammal…I don’t see how that would work.
Sure…she could incorporate a nice set in her human form…but they’d essentially be false.
6 self-depreciating, disarming boob references in 3 word balloons. If Atsali ever needs a coach she’s perfect!’ Sali is “holding her own,” with comments like “Dirigible Washer” and “NUKE from Orbit.”
That about covers it. I think it’s about equal parts-
o Agreement
o Concealing an *eye-roll*
and [considering their proximity]
o “Put those things away, before they put somebody’s eyes out!
There’s probably some variant of Murphy’s Law that applies. Anything carried in a very personal place, is sure to drop out on the floor at the moment of greatest potential embarrassment.
People who have to deal daily with this, will demonstrate that they are really quite sharp. Singer/Songwriter Dolly Parton once had an interviewer remark how tiny her feet are. She immediately quipped “… things don’t grow well in the shade.”
It might be a health issue.
Breasts are normally mostly adipose tissue. If Kat was not eating well for whatever reason it could well show on her chest. This is the major reason female body builders so often resort to silicone.
If you check the archives, you’ll see Kath had big boobs from the beginning. She let them sag, probably because a bra would’ve keyed her PTSD. Here’s the third strip she appeared in: http://wapsisquare.com/comic/09262003/
Hoarding crumbs and small electronics…. just like Atsali.
Don’t forget errant cookie boxes.
And either a sock or a shoe, I can’t remember which and don’t really feel like archive delving again to look for it.
Icey; It was a SOCK that was mentioned…
Nice, warm, fuzzy…. sock.
Not to mention Monica
Not… sure if Sali has been able to hide Mon in there… o_O
Stela tried once, but not Mon
…and Astali went from nearly flat to “holy carp” in one night.
Never say never, Castela…

Who cares. It is a case of benefits and flaws anyway. What is more important – having an eye catcher or a crump trap?
Well, she might want to develop a crumb trap if she (or other people) were to frequently spilling fertilizer pellets down the front of her shirt…
😉

Sali’s getting it from being both a succubus AND a siren. I think when she first met Kath, she was in a training bra.
That is correct. If memory serves, she got whacked by the boob fairy after Kath adopted her and Pickle.
Atsali, and Katherine met at the Library. ‘Sali WAS “petite”, but relaxed, and “stretching.”
She was well over 6 feet tall.
I’m not sure how to read Kat’s expression in the last panel. :/
solidarity
I’d say, “Aw, jeeze, stop talking about boobs.”
Or maybe, “Selene, stop talking about yourself. This is Castela’s problem.”
I think it was some variant of ‘Here we go again!’
And in Atsali’s case, the occasional little sister!

The occasional wallet… -_- omg, that was embarrassing…

wasn’t the falling out that was embarrassing. it was the forgetting it was there and panicking that I couldn’t find it.
Just realizing that it has been almost seven months since we’ve seen M.
Not the main character anymore, so it isn’t surprising.
Selene’s neck moved about six inches down her back in the last panel.
She leaned backwards to stare down at “the girls.”
I have a friend with a build like Atsali. She bought about a half dozen little figurines and sticky-taped them to the top of her “girls”.
Told everyone at the convention that they were homesteading the “vast tracts of land”

I am now quite irritated I’ve never thought of that…
Speaking of growth, compare today with…

So what did it? Life? Motherhood?
artistic expansion of a secondary character into a fleshed out character
And also, (partly based on ‘Canon’) Recovery from Trauma.
It might be a health issue.

If you notice Kath’s face was much thinner then too and boobs, for some women, are the first to go and the last to come back when weight plummets.
(also stylistic changes but the above is a decent enough explanation)

Sorry, fourth strip.
A growth issue doesn’t mean you’re gonna get taller.
Selene’s lucky. I’m in my 40s and still growing boobs.
Wow. How many do you have, now?
Ba-dum-TISH.
Four. the second two just grew under the first two…LOL
But seriously, boobs should not be getting bigger in my 40s…
I still chuckle when I remember Cass and her “Cleavage Cookies” incident with Atsali
LOL!
*SIGH* I’m hip; with MY bust size, I know the feeling…
