Way to go! Keeping it as “I” statements makes difficult conversation SO much easier, because you’re not generating defensiveness before you’ve even completed what you wanted to say. Very well done!

Because enough of us have been hurt by statements made by those around us that we realized the phrase about sticks and stones vs words is total BS and wishful thinking. If you don’t belive this think about the person you most respect in the world telling you that you’re a totally screw up and a waste of time. Then imagine if they had told you that you are amazing talented person instead.
I don’t know about words hurting her, but having a childhood friend (who now has the body of a goddess) land her head in your lap is going to cause confusion and consternation, at the very minimum.
FYI Paul mentioned on social media that due to the server issues that were going on, this was last strip for the week. Unless he changes his mind, the adventures will continue next week on Monday.
Back in the (painful to read) incident in 10/2013 when Monica dealt with the Tar and the consequences of Jet having been raped as a child, Monica concluded that she was a sociopath, quite capable of torturing and killing an evil entity without mercy. She’s dangerous and she knows it.
The eBay’ed drawing you’re referring to, suggests that Monica may have been out on another “fix-it” mission… and that she found some problems that looked like nails.
Yeah but there’s a big difference between a weird demonic entity and actual people. It’s the simple suggestion that she’s “fixing” real people that is the big problem, it makes her look like a monster.
Well, that’s a fair lot of intro to get around to making an opening for “So, what’s going on?” …
… but if that’s what it takes, that’s what it takes!

Whatever happened to the days of “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me?”

It wasn’t true then either Robert.

When is today’s strip going to be up? It’s past 9:00 AM my time here and still no new strip.
Well, the site was down most of yesterday, so who knows what’s messed up?
System hosting the Main Website has/had issues. It’s been scheduled for Upgrade/Replacement, looks like the schedule got advanced a bit…
PS- following on the heels of Hanson:

Ah, subtle…
For a fifteen-year-old, yes.
On another unrelated note, I think Castela can pull a creepy girl crawling out of the TV cosplay accurately now.
‘Stela has the look of “who are you, and what have you done with Scarlet”.

Darn.
Maybe it’s just me, but since not everybody uses social networks – wouldn’t a note here reach the most people?
(Also – why no note on Patreon?)
I ‘gree…

They spend more time on the floor than I ever remember doing in MY schools.
Huh… unrelated to the comic above. Never knew Monica was a fucking psycho.

Castella’s expression in panel two…. adorably priceless.
