    Sometimes the direct approach is best.

    Cass, it’s a boken. I have a nice one in white oak as well as a few normal ones.

      And here I thought it was a ClueBat(TM)!

        It’s about the length of a katakana, but it looks straight like a ninja sword. A katakana is a short curved two-handed sword (or long one hand), a ninjato is a straight short-sword (one-hand).

        Before it was processed in the woodworking shop, I would’ve called it a ‘clue-by-4’

      Doesn’t look boken to me, it looks perfectly intact to me! Leaves a fiver in the pun jar on my way out…

    The two big lessons of American sitcoms:

    (1) Deceiving your family and friends rarely pays off, no matter what you think you’ll gain by pulling a fast one. You’ll never be able to keep your lies straight, you won’t remember who knows what, you can’t control who talks to whom, and the whole house of cards will come down around your ears in the most embarrassing way possible. Stick to honesty and truth – it’s a lot less bother.

    (2) It’s really easy to jump to Conclusions. You can’t jump back, though… you have to swim, or crawl, or grovel through muck and mire and lava. Much easier to check things out first – ASK! (Thank you, “Phantom Tollbooth”)

    Sadly, not a lot of people learn these lessons without the application of an oaken clue-by-four.

      A lot of people never learn these lessons . . . period.

    It is too bad Doubt didn’t use a yo-yo instead. But that may have been a bit too obscure of a reference.

      A oak yo-yo those Hurt more than any training katana I been hit by almost every kendo training sword and some one brought a “kendo” flail i.e a oak yo-yo she used due she wanted something that had further reach but had more flexibility in her way of preferred fighting

    You deserve another one, Castela. Listen to what she’s trying to tell you.

    Listen to your Guardian Doubt, Castela. It will save you a big headache later.

    Dude–aunt Doubt’s “AAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!” is cast in marble…

    I see Doubt with that side ponytail, and I expect to hear her shouting, “Gibbs, Gibbs, GIBBS!” Come on someone out there was thinking it too.

      Castela is getting the kaiju equivalent of a Gibbs Smack.

      She’s got a much thicker skull than DiNozzo, and Doubt isn’t Gibbs, so it may take a few tries…

    Doubt knows the game. She’s literally the name of the game. She will teach you that the only way to win the game of doubt is not to play.

    I had a bad moment there when I couldn’t find Doubt’s left arm … then I saw how she’s wound around herself, getting ready to hit one into the nosebleed seats. Cass, run faster!

      That’s a really big bandage that’s suddenly appeared on Cass’ head… (I sooo wish we could edit prior posts.)

    On a different note…
    …why has Doubt lost the skin texture that she had on the previous page?

    Okay, looks more of a wood texture this time… though the shading of planes seems off.
    Also, for reference, and oak training sword is called a bokken or bokuto, depending on the way it’s cut.

    Outside of anime exaggerations, they’re used for training more in the sense of a kendoka practicing swinging a sword (since the oak is reasonably heavy… if still a fair bit less than a steel sword) as opposed to the sort of training where masters are hitting students with sticks. Bokken can easily break bones and be used as a weapon in and of themselves (buy thugs and punks, particularly teenage gang members who can’t get their hands on an actual sword… and would rather hospitalized someone than murder them).

    🤔 When did Doubt get such nice breast·cleavage? 🥴
