    What Cas isn’t telling them is that she only has the flashlight, no batteries.

      No, Digit had a talk with Cas, and this is to explain what Val thought she saw earlier

        Yep, that is clearly what’s going on in the first frame of the “not our job” strip that The Aussie Bloke has linked below. Well, it’s clearly evident with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, anyway…

        Nice advance planning by our esteemed author (as usual).

    She is likely on a hair trigger. Hopefully she’ll just throw the flashlight rather than go nuclear.

      More like Paul experienced some pain in his shoulder before he could mark up the frame lacking dogs.

      The bottom scene is from another dimension. A third one from the two we have seen.😁

        Digit has Dietzel PJs.

        But I am a little confused from the last panel …

      Trick pajamas, like those plastic-prism-covered postcards they used to sell. Look at them from one angle, you see puppies. From a different angle, you see kittens. From an intermediate angle they look blurred or blank.

      Her daytime outfit shows a series of facial expressions. Since she can’t emote well with her face, she just turns to the proper angle and her blouse grins or frowns or weeps.

    I’m forced to wonder why it’s important that Valerie not know that Castela can shoot a power beam out of her hands.

      It is above her pay grade.

      Castela was reluctantly registered as a predator for school, those in the know want to keep her from being registered as gate-keeper as she would be taken out of school and have to go through “special” training.

        Sorry to hear that…could be a problem when she reaches adulthood, assuming she survives to reach it…

        Pretty sure she’ll have no trouble surviving that long.

        Yeah, I don’t think Castela will have any problem surviving… the school, I’m not so sure about.

        Registered as a predator, but not as a WMD?

        but, but, but- Castela is just a cute little tumblyweed…

    Wait, Castela is over-explaining. What’s she up to?

    Valerie probably thinks “Sheesh! I know what I saw, pay grade or nuthin'”!

      I can tell by the shocked look on her face.

    Why, my hand wasn’t glowing. Why would you think that?

    There’s just one thing I really want to know.

    Just when and where did Digit have the occasion to put a wristwatch into a rock tumbler?

    • FreeFlier

      Probably something she and Dietzel got up to.

      I wonder if Monica ever realized where her wristwatch had gone?

      Now….a self-winding watch in a rock tumbler would get all wound up….

      • McClaw
        April 23, 2018, 9:11 am | #

        And severely battered. I suspect it would actually become permanently “unwound”.

    Digit and Valerie… the “lack of expression” doubles champions.
