One imagines the manager of the oldest library in history and a museum full of historical artifacts can find a lot to talk about over coffee. Seems like similar personality types would fit well in both vocations too.
I have a friend that is about that tall, and I’m five ten. His hips are roughly in my lungs, so its not surprising that Phix’s joints would all be one step up on someone as short as Monica.
Huh. Second panel looks like Phix has either pants, or some of her fur/feathers are returning around her knees. Would be funny, if in the course of their relationship, Phix kept letting little bits of her actual form slip in on accident
“Oh, silly me. I should’ve worn a pantsuit. I forgot to shave today.” *Has her usual amount of fur covering her legs*
“Uhh… What is that behind you?” “Oh, what?” *Looks behind her to the left and tail twitches to her right* “What?” *Points to her right and she looks, tail going to her left* “I don’t see anything.”
“Hmm, don’t you think it’s warm to wear a down-filled-jacket?” “Hmm? What are you talking about you silly man, those are my OWN feathers. Of COURSE it’s too warm to wear such a winter coat.”
I think Pablo once said there’s a glitch in the length of file names, and that somehow translates to truncated column titles occasionally. I believe it’s supposed to be “mine”, not “min”.
Phix in human form is somewhat “statuesque” — isn’t that the current politically correct term for vertical overachievers of the female persuasion? — especially when compared to our favorite munchkin. . .
I love the spectacles. They give her a bookish appearance . . . . (chortle!)
Perhaps if he didn’t have face fuzz… Though, that may change soon. Some women simply do not appreciate it, but others like the bit of a tickle it can provide.
It would be interesting though if in an age where human cyborgs are the norm, to see all these mythical creatures, like split chimeras, demons, sphinxes and etc. to all come out.
Don’t know what Monica is getting miffed about — Phix is likely to be real handy in the near future – and her boss in a really good mood, if he survives. XD At least he’s very unlikely to be thinking about what Monica might be up to.
Am I wrong in saying Phix may’ve been more like a motherly figure, like Brandi? So, she’s not quite a friend, but she was someone Monica could go to with problems and rely on her for help. That may make it even more awkward.
Lessee, arms behind back, mirrored posses. Hm. I wonder how Phix is going to handle actually *talking* to a guy. (Now where’d I put that book — ‘Making small talk – or – how to slay the guy without actually doing it’)
Anthropoligists say we developed smalltalk because we no longer picked fleas off each other as a means of direct social interaction. I don’t think I’d like fleas, but there is something to be said for the old ways.
Considering she usually has all written human knowledge at her paw-tips, I am willing to bet she is more civilized than most of us. Unless of course, somebody rolls a ball of yarn past her.
Hmmmm, I wonder if there is a idol of her somewhere in the museum?
An earlier poster mentioned the knees/hips height equivalence.. Is it bad that the match I noticed was about 12-18 inches higher?
What if Phix showed up in a low-slung ‘hipster’ skirt, the same day Mon was wearing a senorita top ..of the same fabric??? The similarities would be…distracting.
Oh dear…. Phix, Bud (Brandi is too civilized and discouraged from violence, Jin is too crazy and no one wants her involved, I don’t think, and Bud is the fun one who would have fun getting dirty probably), Shelley (if she can toss a V8 and not strain herself, what else can she do?), and Motoko Kusanagi (assuming she is properly water-proofed and sealed) all mud wrestling against each other. Loser buys drinks at the Cerberus Club and doesn’t get to shower before going.
Wait, according to interwebs law, isn’t some D-bag s’posed to crash in at this point shouting “PICS OR GTFO!!1!” at Jens?
I’m not sure about these things, as I don’t participate much in online threads. (My missus is five-eleven-and-three-quarters, so I don’t have much spare time. ;-D Really, I’m just replying to the concept of a female my wife [and Phix] would have to look up to see!)
Hmmm. Must like the librarian look….. Rowr
Well who doesn’t?
Oh, yes, he likely has a rather “pressing” concern. -.- Still… will be much fun!

And Monica thought she had problems when the GGs were getting frisky…
Eyes right, eyes left, eyes rolled – she didn’t really need to say anything …
Now, now, Monica, what could possibly happen? Other than crazy, romantic hijinks, of course.
Well you know who could get a uncle….
I wonder if he likes riddles. I hope for his sake he does!
(Views Flying Horse of Gansu)
Phix: “Oh! I see some of Feng’s work was recovered from Leitai’s tomb! How nice!”
Fields: “Er, Feng, you say?”
Phix: “Yes, darling man. Only had one eye — Did some of his best work after the injury, including this bronze.”
Fields: …. ?!?
Eyes: Talk about “Deer in the headlights”…
Phix’s knees are higher than Monica’s hips.

Nah – it’s just the way Pablo draws knees.

Shouldn’t that strip be titled “The Honor Is Max”? “Min” sounds so… small. 😉

I believe that “statuesque” also applies to being shapely, voluptuous, curvaceous. . .which, come to think, also works for Phix. . . .
The way Dr . Fields looks , kinda makes me think of Aramaki from GITS , a little bit .
Mmm, Phix vs. Motoko mudwrestling. I’m sorry, what were we talking about?
Heheh . Word .

Why is that song from The Sound Of Music running thru my mind right now? Oh, you know – “Climb Every Mountain………………”
Of course, there’s always “She’s got leeeegs and she knows how to use themmmmmmm…”
Wow, from Rogers and Hammmerstein to ZZ Top in 5 mins. And I’m only 1/2 way thru my coffee,too! You can tell it ain’t Monday.
Is that a split infinitive?
He’ll be mixing metaphors next!!
Thanks to Monica he has years of practice looking women in the eyes.
(A skill I am yet to develop.)
Just found this comic and really enjoying it.
“That was a lovely tour. Say, would you consider maybe pouring A1 steak sauce over yourself?”
A1
It makes a difference
XD

I dunno bout you buy my friends don’t go out with my boss. it’s just … awkward. Not saying it’s wrong just … yikes.

Ball of yarn?! What about catnip? eeekk! !
“And now, HERE is the mummy exhibit. We are slowly pealing back some of the bandages to check for authenticity…”
*MMM-eerrrrOW!*

kingklash…
If there’s one in the gift shop, it would make a nice present.
(Assuming the artist didn’t make her butt too large.)
heh, looks like Phix in human form is about 6 foot 4 (193cm). So she would still still be half a head smaller than me ^o^
looking forward how Pablo can handle that much woman, err, sphinx 😉
Remember Lakshmi?
Who? (LOL)
NOW we’re talking mud wrestling!
Naughty boy!

I thought it was “Pics or it didn’t happen” and “Tits or GTFO”
But I’m just-a trollin’ along…
Cue the playful, flirting banter! Another successful Wapsi hook-up!
Also, let’s consider how long it may have been since Phix has last interacted with a man. How many male visitors does she get in The Library, anyway?
Yay for amazon women, but damn didn’t realize Monica was that short.
Who knew she was so tall? She reminds me of my two sisters.
<..>
9.9
Let’s try that again:

9.9
Poor M. She sure looks like she’s feeling a bit overlooked.
