    I feel as if we just took an abrupt left turn into a wall panel!

    Has the continuity been fractal lately?

      “Lately”? You haven’t read this strip for long, have you?

    No comments about Castela’s shirt.

    Selene is that good a succubus?

      She was clearly expecting one. Just what is she BRACING for? There isn’t much, short of her Sister that would have any6 effect, and Katherine is not a hitter. That’s not her power.
      [She does have multi-level Black Belts in Adulting.]

        It’s been shown before that Castella is fully sensitive to Mother’s Voice, her Blackthorn über-powers notwithstanding. In its most potent form (which I don’t think we’ve ever seen Kath use) it’s as Cosby said: “It will decalcify your entire spinal column and you will fall to your knees… ‘Momma, I’d rather have you hit me than yell at me like that again.'” Apparently it works even on those who do not have spinal columns.

    Pickle, making a plant joke? Does she still have her old pot she use to sleep in?

    I think Paul may have gotten in a new shipment of Bootlegger Turn Fuel for his authorial rocket sled. The stuff is volatile, unstable, and goes bad if you don’t use it promptly… so, hang on for an interesting ride!

    Skylar’s Mom is pretty hot herself. Might she sometimes be a potential love interest for Katherine? Hmm?

    (Side note — the character list above only lists Selene, and should perhaps also list Castella and Katherine…)

    So, is “Selene” two syllables or three in this case?

      Probably 2.

      suh-LEEN is standard English pronunciation. Greek goddess of the moon.

      Ah, but what kind of nurse? Peditrics, orthopedic, OBGYN, etc?

        Orthodontics.

        Wouldn’t surprise me the least. She’s probably keeping some wire in her handbag so she can reattach all those dislocated jaws a lot of men, and not a few women, keeps dropping where ever she goes…

    I’ve heard it both ways — Three as ‘sell any’, and two as rhyming with ‘serene’. Asimov has the three=syllable ‘Sell Any’ (including the pun) in The Gods Themselves. I’m not sure how Heinlein pronounced the surname in Adam Selene in The Moon Is A Harsh Misstress. I always pronounced it ‘Seleen’.

    According to a couple of pronunciation guides on YouTube (including one in Greek) it’s pronounced as three syllables, with the stress on the second… “Seh-LEE-nee”.

      Concur with that.

      I’ve never heard it pronouned that way. Even my mythology professor in college didn’t pronounce it that way.

      As a Colonial [who’s rarely heard it said any other way, I submit some, admittedly less authoritative, evidence: in “Gothem” we have Sah-LEE-na Kyle. [Of course the Cannon Character of Cat Woman is now Hispanic.] *Shrugs*

      I’m going with; ‘It Depends’.

      btw- (I’m currently typing in a room where the keyboard and mouse are a nice crisp 39F, but as soon as I hit ‘send’, back on go the gloves..)

      If I’m speaking English, it’s Sel-een.
      If I’m affecting an accent or in context w/ another language it might as well be the three syllable pronunciation.

      All of this defers to the person being addressed and how she wants to be known as…

    Finally a face to go with the toothpaste comment from way back when… Pretty smexy, too.

    I see “MOM Voice” has had it’s usual unintended effect.

    So what brings you two to their humble abode, Selene?

    Easy to believe she’s a succubus.
    She seems to ooze “sultry” from every pore.

      Pickle: “Guh? …Shouldn’t I be… too young… and hertosexual… to get the M.I.L.F. reaction?”
      Selene: “Oh, sorry kid. I’ll turn down the pheromones. Didn’t mean to trigger any sort of orientational crisis for you. Relax; you’re normal… or whatever passes as your usual ‘normal’. I never judge.”

        Castela: “Do I want to ask why you might have had your pheromones turned UP, to hang out with my mom?”
        Selene: “How about we just go with; my everyday, relaxed, NORMAL pheromone level is mostly harmless to mature adults, but can be a just liiiittle too much for teenagers with their own overactive hormones… particularly ones with highly advanced olfactory senses like yourself. Relax kid; I’m not trying to have your precious mommy’s thighs for earmuffs. She’s in a committed relationship and I don’t care to dump a fat load of awkward into your sister and my daughter’s blossoming friendship.”
        Castela: “…Was the earmuff visual necessary?”
        Selene: “Was insinuating I was deliberately seducing your mother by drugging her with pheromones necessary?”
        Castela: “…Fair point.”

    Hellooooooo, Nurse! (Yes, it was said above, but I got nothing else.)
