        Yeah, the lettering’s just a bit loose and scratchy.

        I agree that the art is incredible on this one, but as far as the lettering, I don’t see it as scratchy, I see it as the way Monica’s mind is thinking at this time.

        I was only aiming that the lettering seems to show her thought process as not quite up to speed. Kind of like the Shelly ‘thought’ doodles Paul has been doing.

        With all of the growth, learning, revelations, and enlightenments that the Wapsi gang have been experiencing lately, perhaps Paul has decided to letter the strip using the font of all wisdom?

        I think the previous lettering was a font based on Paul’s lettering, too.

        If you want to make a font based on your own handwriting, here’s the place.

        There’s a great scene from an old Fantastic Four comic.

        Alarm clock goes off.

        Rocky orange fist smashes it.

        The Thing walks over to a closet full of alarm clocks, takes one out of the box, winds it up, sets time, puts it on nightstand.

      I’d be doomed to never be anywhere on time if I could poit things. I have this horrible tendency to turn my alarm clock off without ever waking up somehow. If I could poit it somewhere, then even putting it across the room wouldn’t save me.

        Some very elegant and sneaky ideas there. Unfortunately, they’ve missed the alarm clock that you can only respond to, by throwing an octopus plush doll at it. Possibly a limited demographic for that particular model, though.

        Reader warning: if you do review the page Illiad referred to, be very cautious about following the link to the “Worst album covers” page. My sense of aesthetics is hiding in a corner of the office, moaning quietly to itself, after only one brief exposure… in the name of Deity, what were they thinking???

      Kevin has no powers. But even if he did, he realizes that he has a gorgeous, frisky, brilliant GF who loves him, with a rack that could serve as the foundation of a small building and a tongue that can get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop in one lick. And who isn’t afraid to use said tongue to let him know when it is fun time.

      Regretfully, both incorrect. What M wanted to say is, “I just lay down.”

      Lie, lay, lain – intransitive
      Lay, laid, laid – transitive.

      I’m going to lie down.
      I just lay down an hour ago.
      I had lain there all day.

      I shall lay the book on this table.
      As promised, I laid the book on the table.

        um, sorry but she is using the ‘past participle’ .. your link says ‘laid’ is the right word…

        ‘Past participle: . . . I had laid the tools on the workbench.’

        what she is actually meaning is ‘I just laid my body down’

        It is ‘contracted’ for slang usage..

        the word ‘layed’ usually means sex.. not usually picked up in spoken language, it sounds the same.. :/

        The problem itself isn’t diminishing at all.

        I’d predict a visit from Doubt this week, presenting the hideous possibilities of her future. Remember, as fun as it may be for the audience, for Monica this is going from embarrassing to frightening.

        Also, the clock symbology is not going unnoticed. First we had Tina’s keyblade, then Shelly’s smashing her alarm clock, and now this.

        I think Monica is about to have a major and profound change in her life, one that won’t be addressed by categories of manga kink alone. Happy 2012, Mon. What part of taking Jin’s place didn’t you care for, again?

      • Vorlonagent

        The internet is full of people that are unpleasant and distasteful. I hope that you can just delete the offensive posts and keep making the outstanding artwork Paul.

        Back on topic- I can defiantly relate to the unpleasant sensation of wakening up with the feeling of insufficient sleep some mornings. However, if this is a recurring issue with Monica, then perhaps she should see a doctor to see if she has any sleep disorders. Perhaps she has some sort of physical or mental issue(s) that can be addressed to help her sleep better.

        Just an observation.

        If the people who only look for two things in this comic are so irritating, then why so increasingly make breasts a visual feature in the comic? Reading the lewd fanboy comments on today’s (May 2) comic annoyed the hell out of me, but I don’t draw the comic, heh.

        I’ve been reading Wapsi for 9 years. Every day. I’m pretty sure I know what the comic’s about, and it’s not boobs.

    Maybe she’s poiting alarm clocks into her boobs, causing them to get larger as each time, her breasts deal with the foreign device, attacking and devouring it, adding its mass to their own.

      Poiting and Monica’s breasts do seem interrelated at very intimate level.

      Maybe it’s a failsafe to keep her from abusing the power. She can poit all she wants, but each time it adversely affects her ability to walk.

      Wait, I’m not sure that makes sense…

      • Fairportfan
        May 1, 2012, 1:50 pm | #

        Did Monica know how to poit stuff at that point? Since there’s no sound effect, i suspect that’s just a “law of funny” bit.

      • Yamara
        May 1, 2012, 4:59 pm | #

        Owen’s brain escaping his skull is a “law of funny” bit. So they have existed in the series.

        Monica’s sneezing her bra off is taken somewhat seriously by her for the next couple strips, as she tries to get it back on. Later, her poiting often involves wardrobe malfunctions.

        So that could be Monica’s first poit, with the sound effect hidden by the sneeze. But I don’t think Paul has ever really confirmed or denied it.

        Of course we now know that other intrinsic parts of one’s being are able to hop about in deadly earnest, so perhaps Owen genuinely had a shriving terror that only someone like Monica could see.

        Which happened to resemble a classic trope of the law of funny.

    I hope they’re getting bigger!
    But I do feel sorry for Mon when she gets older. Thanks to bewb gravity, she’s gonna need a shopping to carry around all those bewbs!

      well you can get a reduction, if they start to drag on the floor… 🙂 I am sure Ulrika Jonsson used that line!! 😀

    I dunno. If they are bigger, how can she sleep on her front? Or did she roll over after waking?

    If she was sleeping on them, I’d think it likely they are still asleep.

    In response to several previous comments…only a breast-obsessed person would wish for larger boobs on someone who already has that rack. *shakes head* It’s murder on the lower back and wreaks havok on the wallet (trying to find specialty undergarments and/or have clothes tailored to a difficult body-type).

    Leaving her bosom as-is would be just fine and dandy, imo. She needs no further enhancement.

      Monica is just noticing that her body is getting older and that she’s not in very good physical shape. Her body isn’t as perky (if big boobs can ever be called perky) as it once was. She’s always known that she wasn’t in healthy shape, it has just become more obvious as she has to pry her pendulous body up out of bed.

        Although I am male I can relate to that because I’ve been obese my entire adult life and it’s now gone from merely inconvenient to intolerable.
        As Benjamin Franklin once said: “The only thing worse than being old is being old and fat.”

        There’s also the quote that gets bandied about quite a bit where I live to the effect that getting old ain’t for sissies, but it beats the alternative.

      I read all this stuff about aging, and as someone who went from 265 lbs at the age of 21 to 195 by 22, and now up to 215 in muscle at 26, I’m glad to say that bodies can change for the better, even as our metabolisms get crappier. However, I don’t think Monica’s ever had that drive…

        In has been established that Monica has a fast metabolism, and was able to eat like a trencherman without gaining weight. She has also made abortive attempts at an exercize routine – although now that Punk Yoga is open, perhaps she should reconsider……

        I recall Monica complaining to Amanda that Kevin was trying to make her do healthy things.

        Maybe Kevin should talk to her about entering that dog sled race?

    I’m beginning to suspect that these boob growth comics are a plot point.

    Or an author fetish I suppose.

    Maya definitely has the potential to understand the technicalities involved, but as far as I can tell has had no opportunity to orchestrate this complicated little dance.
    I could be wrong of course.

    Really REALLY like the grey scale shading. Looks like grey scale pens to me but might be photoshop version? Either way it looks good.

      The subtle sun-dappling of the wallpaper is a nice touch.

      I dunno, though… that wallpaper might make it difficult for me to sleep well. I might feel as if I was constantly being Watched, by Something.

      I do sympathize with Monica, and the whole “getting older” issue. I’m well into the age range in which, as they say, if you wake up and realize that nothing at all hurts even slightly, it’s a pretty good sign that you died during the night 🙁

        Way back when, I noticed Mon’s ‘spooky eyes’ wallpaper, which we see again today – Hopefully none of the pattern glows in the dark.

      I’m going to guess that the shading on Monica is a medium-tone gray marker, rather than PhotoShop. Compare it to some of his other recent work… e.g. the “Warm morning” drawing of Shelly and her neighborhood (the original Bristol of this is still visible on eBay), the workbook sketch of Brandi in the shower (ditto), and the “Time Forest” commission.

      The shading of the wallpaper may well be Photoshop work.

      Sure is a nice look!

    I’ve noticed Pauls comments on the bosom issue – As an admirer of the old saying (Anything more than a handful is just a waste) and a stage-hand who worked with many topless dancers in the “Hello Hollywood Hello” that ran at the Reno Grand for many years , smaller but perky is much more attractive . That was the general consencus of all the other stage personnel – including the women on the crew .

    Being able to poit away the alarm clock seems to be less impressive and interesting than big boobs for lots of people around here…
    heh, this is the universe of comics I guess…

    I really sympathize with Mon’
    It’s notsomuch the “waking”-bit in the morning, I am a very proficient sleeper, but the “physically getting my carcass out of the bed” that is the hardest part, though.

    The older I get, the more creaks seem to develop. I have to do morning gymnastics.. good heavens, I hate nothing as much as stretching, but without it, I’ll be hobbling about for hours..and I am not even 50..

    I wonder if poit·ing would work better for Monica to get breast reduction than surgery would🤔
