    How about catching up with that sweet demon who was flirting with you?

    I keep thinking of the line from “Heathers”
    So now that you’re dead, what are you going to do with the rest of your life?

    In her 50s?

      The time jump that sent Atsali to college (and dragged Castela to puberty) seems to have affected everyone else too. 😉

        Yeah, but that would imply that Tina was in her early 40s at the start of the comic yet she’s always looked 20-something, 30 at most.

        For a 50+ year old walking corpse she looks AMAZING.

        I believe she was actually 36. There was a scene where she tried to put on skinny jeans, where she said so herself.

      Agreed. Either that’s not the right number, or Tina gained an extra decade more than the rest of the cast.

    I believe I recall that Phix assigned her some homework, quite a while ago. Bia gave her some some out-of-class tutoring of sorts, and we know that Tina isn’t the only one on her particular study track.

    Maybe it’s time for Tina to work on her term paper. She might even earn a 3.0 on her report card.

      Considering there is semi-cannonical( http://wapsisquare.com/comic/at-the-end-of-th/ ) evidence that Tina is a Five-Demon gal, each one would only have to come up with .6 average…

        Hmm. I see 6 entities coming out of Tina in that panel.

    I am very exited about more exploration into Tina outside her role as a goddess of coffee.
    Maybe we’ll get more insight about the relationships between the individual demons that make her.
    Maybe we’ll actually see her do yoga?
    More clubbing?

    Also, what will happen when Stheno comes for her morning worship, and goddess is not in her temple? (http://wapsisquare.com/comic/fightin-words/)

    What is most interesting here is that she’s not thinking of herself in the plural. “I’m going to put myself first.” It’s not ‘we’, ‘ourselves’, this group in this body, it’s now ‘me’, ‘myself’, this person in this body.

      Hasn’t she kinda gone back and forth on that a bit?

      • Jeff Weiner
        January 4, 2018, 2:05 pm | #

        Yeah, but could her demons be coalescing into a single entity, similar to Conscience?

      Not much of one, probably just what happened with Luci and Doubt (which you will find on the Patreon 😉 )

        The who the what now on the Patreon?

        Is that a guess of yours, or did I not get a memo from Patreon?

    Do Becky and the employees know how to make beverages as well as Tina, or at least close?

    • Dave
      January 4, 2018, 12:56 pm | # | Reply

      I’d guess that they’re probably good at making them.

      Knowing just what to make, without being asked, for any particular customer who just walked in the door for the first time? Not so much.

    • Jeff Weiner
      January 4, 2018, 2:01 pm | # | Reply

      Yeah, but they can’t size up a new customer with one look like Tina.

    Ahh, that immortal question, “now what?”

    And so to the next question… What is Tina into? Has she even ever thought about it?

      Well my best guess would be starting yoga to get in better shape physically and mentally.

      However my best hope is for one big blood-pumping adventure guilchrist style with beky and maybe have Tina discover that she likes woodworking or something along the
      Way.

      In a past cycle of the Calendar Machine, she collected teapots, according to Jin. That might be a ripe crossover with Ruri and the other college kids.

    I’ve been waiting for a Tina focused story ever since the last one that outed her as a demon coven. Can’t wait to see what comes of this! ^_^

      She does seem to be an “I” and not a “we” now…

    Reported [and no doubt garbled] conversation between Duke Ellington and his band after grousing about how lousy things were out on the road:

    Guy in band: “Hey, Duke, why don’t you take your songwriting royalties and retire.”

    Duke: “Retire? Retire to what?”

    What would Tina want to do, other than what she does?

    A cute demon coven is going on a new adventure of self discovery 🙂

      Yeah, especially cute in today’s strip — that first panel is adorable in particular.

    Tina is one of my favorite characters in this strip, and it would be great to see more of her.

    I’m in my 60s, girl. So what? I’m slowly learning that putting myself first isn’t what makes life fun anyway. Get in the thick of things, help somebody out. Use your skills for something new.

    Sure, I have to take care of myself, and even take some time off to rest. But I have to get busy again or I get bored.

    I’d also go out on a limb and say childbirth is probably out. But with these guys you never know.

    Also, I don’t think her body is aging normally, if at all, just by the looks of it.

    I wonder how “the coven” would react to a relationship, or if Tina-the-gestalt would even have any interest in one.
