Which makes a TON more sense. In our family, elephant ears is a meat. I can’t honestly say what kind, but it was probably pork or beef and it was a fairly cheap cut.
Okay Bud, just remember this, wait until Shelly has put down the bat BEFORE telling her about the whole “stabbing Monica thing”.
And on another note, what is with this “lets name pastries after animal parts” idea? What were those people thinking? Bear Claws? Elephant Ears? Do they have some secret desire to actually eat those things (the actual named animal part)? Well, I suppose it could be worse…
Person 1: Hey, want some Donkey Balls?
Person 2: Excuse me?!
Person 1: *hold up a bag of doughnut holes, covered in powdered sugar* Donkey Balls, do you want some?
Person 2: Well, I suppose so; those damn well better be just fried pieces of dough.
Yes, wait until that bat is safely stashed or Shelly might take out a wall or something when she breaks it over your head. Between Shelly’s strength and Buds invulnerability there could easily be collateral damage…
Donkey balls. There is actually something called that. I found them in Hawaii. They’re macadamia nuts covered in chocolate. If you roll them in coconut, they are fuzzy donkey balls.
So I’ve been thinking about it. The fact Brandi talks about three different names that Monica’s friend could be…that means she has to have written that book on the sly quite a few times. Otherwise it just doesn’t make sense to me. It couldn’t be written after just one go through and mess up.
I wonder if it’s simply the same person and all that has happened was the parents named her differently. Other possibilities are: Who is Michelle? Is she really a different person than Shelley? Is she alive in this timeline? Could she have been someone Monica has met before, etc.? What changed things to make it so they did or not become friends in this time line? Same questions with “Janet.” Also, Might Janet be Shelley’s middle name?
Other possibility: *Brandi on the run from some time paradoxical fixing doomsday wave… scribbling things in a book for her next incarnation to figure out* “GODDAMNIT! Was her name shelley or michelle? had to be one of… no.. wait… maybe it was Janet? FUCK! I’ll just put all 3 down.. it’s one of those three.”
Given Shelly’s strength, I doubt any conventional material in club form would stand up to full effort. So it just depends on how much she wants to pay and other similar considerations.
So that thing about ways to hearts and stomachs doen’t apply only to males…
Go in just under the sternum and go up? Nope, pretty universal.
Gee, I don’t know WHY Shelly doesn’t get any sleep…
Darn, the [/sarcasm] tag doesn’t work… 😉
Hee hee! I love Shelly’s expression!
BTW – what are elephant ears?
Fried bread with powdered sugar. =) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_ear_%28doughnut%29
‘Round these parts, they are also called “frybread” and “farmer’s hats”. Though the sugar is optional, in theory. Or replaced with cinnamon and sugar.

NObody gets to sleep soundly this week.
It’s still dark out and she’s perky. No one has that right.
Think them elephant ears saved her a batting.
Mmmm, coffee and elephant ears… That is just perfection!

Well the English do have spotted dick…
Let’s not forget Canada’s Beaver Tails and Robin’s Eggs. Mmmmm-hmm!!!
Well, the balls one is already called Rocky Mountain Oysters… (yes, I know, bull’s not donkey’s)
To be a bit too literal, bear claws and elephant ears DO look rather a lot like their namesakes.
i’m not even going to go into detail about asian eating habits & dishes

LOLZ. I love it.
So, what’s the source of the coffee? Tina’s place, or the shop that made the elephant ears?
Obsessive attention to details, I know.
Somewhere open a lot later than Mucho Mocha.

Oh, to have Bud turn up at my door…
When are the statuettes going to be ready, anyway? 😛
I believe that the Shelly statues should be shipping any day now and hopefully the Bud statues will be approved after that time.
Thanks ofr the update.
p.s. you seem to have missed a tiny chunk of the coffee cup basket in the last panel; I can see brickwork through it.
Oops. Fixed. =)
depending on the time of day I answer my door with a bat too 😛

she mentioned there being several obvious edits to the book.

Yup. If all else fails, list every possibility you can think of. One of them will end up being relevant.
I couldn’t help noticing that Shelly is carrying a WOODEN bat to, potentially, use as a club.
I wonder what, if any, roll Shelly’s extreme strength played in her selection of that material as a “club”.
Some leagues require wooden bats.
Given Shelly’s strength, I doubt any conventional material in club form would stand up to full effort. So it just depends on how much she wants to pay and other similar considerations.
