Went back and looked, and yeah, that really looks like Pickle’s calling her mom. Nice catch DMC, that wasn’t clear to me when I read that page and I wondered what she was holding there. It really makes sense, though, so we can safely assume that Pickle just scored a lot of brownie points, so she’s totally allowed to do dramatic noises.
This somewhat reminds me of ‘The Mum Look’ I remember that from my childhood, instant regret!
It even caused a couple of adults behind me one time to stop talking and look guilty! Yay for parenting done right!
Wanted a ‘ringer’, did you, coach?- got more than you bargained for, did you? Mama Bear is gonna set thing right… and she is a mortal human, but you are ready to puddle the floor…
A mama bear with powerful friends. Tho I don’t think she needs them. Looks like Katherine has grown up. Reminds me of someone else…https://youtu.be/t8MjQ5Z7ZNo
To be honest this doesn’t really make much sense. I’d BARELY consider a Siren a predator, compared to say… a Sphinx, or just as bad possibly as Minotaur.
Um thats kinda like saying a barracuda is barely a predator compared to a great white shark, or a bobcat to a tiger but they will still mess you up if your not one it is just a matter of degree.
Do you know how many sailors have died at the talons of a Siren?
Don’t have the link at hand, but when Gabby from “Sister Claire” mentioned to Claire what happens to a selkie when they lose their pelt, the authors showed an image based on The Bloodstained Lawn (hope this works)
That link sent me to a page that REALLY wanted me to download a “System Monitor” and wouldn’t let me close its window until i used Advanced Task Killer to nuke the browser.
Let’s add up your crimes, Mrs. Adler. You deceived a parent, conspired to get a child to deceive a parent, deceived the school, deceived the other team, endangered the lives of children, and gave the school God’s own liability exposure. Furthermore, had Atsali actually killed a girl, she would probably hound herself to suicide, whereupon two vampires, two gorgons, two sphinxes, the Jaguar Girl, and three indestructible clay golems would be on campus, out of their minds with rage and grief. I doubt any adult in the school had survived.
You forgot Katherine herself with high explosives and automatic weapons, remember she is a trained soldier, and I’m pretty sure harming her girls is one of the triggers to make her go full Rambo.
I went back and started the WS story from the beginning. It took me a while. It was well worth the time. It just goes to show that a good story with strong, believable characters are what makes a story succeed. Joe Campbell would have loved this story. It’s that on point. Like Gabelous said, “Notes should be taken”. Thank you Paul.
Lawsuits?
Really?
I thought the Paras were trying to stay under the Radar.
Did I miss the story arc where they came out of the closet and became public knowledge?
Could have sworn Phix nearly ripped Monica a new one for Parquoring in the city.
It’s possible they are playing normal human teams. Which would be a big reason for “no predictors” in physical contact sports. Field hockey can actually be fairly brutal, even amoung just humans. Nothing says “safe” like handing adolescents reinforced sticks and tacit permission to go for anything below the knees.
Oh boy, Ms Adler better start running couse there won’t be much left of her once Catherine is done with her….
And i think Castela will also get a big punishment lol..
Lately i get the inpression Castela is a rather big sadist considering her sarcasm rubbing in mistakes at other ppl…
off topic, but has anyone else noticed that for the last 5 days or so castela has been showing a huge improvement in her human form. Especially the eyes. About time.
perhaps they need to have more…active…sports for the predators? armored tackle football? Unlimited Class Wrestling? ooohhh! maybe those lumberjack-type sports? with axes and stuff? or get a really big laser and do Chase The Red Dot?
“golf” and “tennis” seems like sports that would bore a predator in a very short time. I know it would be very hard to get my cat to play either.
While Hell may have no fury like a woman scorned, scorned women have nothing on a mom who perceives their child placed in danger. Emotional, physical, or reputation doesn’t matter here. That coach is going to catch it big time.
Yelling mother is scary, but when the voice suddenly gets soft consider running very fast. It won’t do you any good, but at least you can say you tried to escape.
Parenting done right, by an adoptive mother to a para. Notes should be taken.
Oh, Mrs. Adler. You have so seriously fucked up.
flowers for Mrs. Adler’s funeral can be sent to the 3 states where her body parts will be showing up…
Optimist…
That implies there is enough body to bury. The word ‘vaporized’ has been thrown around in this comic after all…..
A few parts may adorn the library
Dooooooooommmmmmmmm………….
Castela cracks me up.
She just THINKS Mama isn’t paying attention to her.
She just THINKS Mama isn’t paying attention to her
Pickle’s havin’ a ball!
Because, for once, she’s not the one who done goofed 😀
On the previous page, it looks like Pickle was phoning her mom…
…which suggests that Katherine took a “shortcut” to intercept the game in record time!

Ultimately, it’s all up to the Author…
…so we’ll just have to wait for Monday’s update, to see how much of our speculation is confirmed-or-not.
I’d say Katherine used the Library transport system to get there. Vorp!

This is where it gets real. Mrs Adler knows better…

She has indeed come a long way from her shy roots. Monica’s friendship with her was truly time well-spent!
Katherine’s 1st sighting:

She can rip a full-grown man in half.
That’s deadly enough for me.
Or anyone else.
Especially the bisected victim.

Have you seen Atsali in her predator form? http://wapsisquare.com/comic/stay-calm-2/
And that’s not even the full morph. She’s still about five-ten or so, not seven feet tall.
Do you know how many sailors have died at the talons of a Siren?

Got my moods and tenses mixed up. Switched from past subjunctive to present conditional and back. Seemed right at the time.

I don’t remember her being a trained soldier. She was in the Air Force, and apparently flew helicopters.
She was a tech. Whether or not she was a qualified pilot she knew enough to tell Atsali what to do to get one up and shooting.
I was a tech on F111s. I couldn’t tell you how to get one airborne.
Hells Bells that Mom Voice has *me* cringing and feeling guilty!

Katherine’s thinking like a human.
Of course, if the para community is big enough to have more than one school, it’s probably big enough to have courts.

The paranormals are trying to stay under the radar by acting like humans.
Humans don’t slaughter the offender in a case like this, they get nasty and SUE!

Castela is six or seven . . . this is typical behavior at that age, especially when someone else stepped in it.
Seeing as no one has pointed it out yet, I’d like to direct your attention to the last panel. Seems like Kath is starting to go grey.
With two kids and her job, who can blame her? I only have one completely-human toddler and I keep finding gray hairs. xD
With Air Force time, a Ph.D., and archeological digs under her belt, she can’t be any spring chicken.
“Born” 1971 – she was an infant found by the Air Force team who headed down to Mapimi after the missile incident,
I’ve loved Catherine from the beginning. She is this awesome. “Now give me back my fish.”
*Plays the “……..Run” soundbite*
I gotta say, I’m kinda lost on how this all got goin’ here…
The wrath of mom!!!
And Castella is quite the instigator, ain’t she?
For all her remarks, Castela has done the right thing.
off topic, but has anyone else noticed that for the last 5 days or so castela has been showing a huge improvement in her human form. Especially the eyes. About time.

Mom: Expert Mode Activated
I never thought of Kat as a top, until now!
Katherine got her ‘Mom-mode’ knotted and stretched tight… Towel-snapping in the locker is child’s play for what she’s in for!
The stink weed is really smart where her sister is concerned. Tail incident etc. And she sure is getting the glamour down pat.
the stress….
IT’S GETTING TO HER HAIR!
While Hell may have no fury like a woman scorned, scorned women have nothing on a mom who perceives their child placed in danger. Emotional, physical, or reputation doesn’t matter here. That coach is going to catch it big time.
