He be a keeper, lookit his face in that last panel, he’s so hooked on her, that she could sprout wings, horns and a tail, and he’d snicker and not bat an eye at it.
And…I -=just=- now finished reading completely, and will be anxious to hit here daily to catch up…
*waves atta his Sistah* C’mon, Emm, break yer rule bout not posting…YOU got me hooked on this webcomic, and I am loving it…I -know- ya are reading this one 😉
And to the rest who are reading this, click my name and check my page…if ya like music, I have lotsa freebies for yaz!
Paul: Would you be offended if I called you the Alfred Hitchcock of webcomics? SuSpEnSe!!!
I was gonna say, that one was old when I was a KID, let alone now … but you fessed up to it so I’ll just sit back and watch.
Reminds me of that line from Voyager, when Janeway couldn’t believe that Chakotay was able to pull off a well-known Maquis trick on their opponents – his response was “in the Delta quadrant, old tricks are new tricks again”. We just had to wait until our old jokes got forgotten so we could use them again! 😀
Okay, all of these emotional breakdowns had better be a symptom of a bigger issue because this is getting ridiculous. She suddenly gets all uppity about her not weight/body image/health issues and now this. Sup with the flying emotions. Because this is ridiculous even for us female types.
well if you dont suffer similar, you are one of the lucky ones… a friends gf usually lived in the garden shed, during those few days, to spare his nerves… 🙂
Meh…I’ve found that my emotional breakdowns tend to come in waves (and I wish that my husband’s reaction to them was to look at me the way Kevin looks at Monica…instead of looking at me like I’m a foreign creature since he doesn’t understand).
Kevin is an ideal and a saint. Monica whacked him in the head and made a huge public show of straddling him and giving him “mouth to mouth”, but then becomes self-conscious and immediately bursts into tears. That’s her letting her baggage run beyond wild. I’m sure there are men who would put up with that behavior in real life, but I’m also sure they’re few and far between.
I’ve actually watched such “perfect couples” where the man is the rock and center and the woman is all over the place–I’ve watched those disintegrate. You can get a lot of egotic brownie points by being the caretaker of a crazy mate, but sooner or later you’ll need some caretaking and your mate is conditioned not to help but to flip out.
Monica is not this extreme…yet. More important she’s getting a firmer grip on herself (That place your mind went just then? I honestly wasn’t going there but I’ll drop my milk money in the pun jar anyway)
Odds are this “bullfrog” thing came up *because* Monica was dealing with other issues. In a head that’s a home for wayward neuroses, like mine (sigh), everybody wants a turn to talk.
“You can get a lot of egotic brownie points by being the caretaker of a crazy mate, but sooner or later you’ll need some caretaking and your mate is conditioned not to help but to flip out.”
Started to think that too. But there was ‘another comic’ with a preggers arc & I thought “Nah, Paul wouldn’t go there, too easy.” Its something like some sorta PTSD, I’d guess. 😕
I’d bet she’s spotted all sorts of aura peculiarities before without necessarily “looking for them.” I mean, who looks for a hole in an aura that’s filled with a ghost of a girl? Isn’t that something she’s seen in Jin before?
I agree. Tina would have seen the aura change even before the hormones hit Monica’s system. The child (even microscopic) would have its own aura (it is a human, after all, and Tina sees all auras) . And no, the aura would not be microscopic (it would highly localized to a certain region of Monica’s body, though).
Glad i am not the only one who thought this, but knowing her, its something impending that may be what the new story line is about, also it may just be a nervous breakdown but anyways loving how it turning out so far
and also i ate the archive took me few days to finish it ~urp~ you may need to make new comics to keep me happy or any time you post one :),
Not sure why, but Tina has been looking creeper and creeper the last several weeks. I think its because the spirals in her eyes are getting bigger and her hair keeps looking messed up. But damn she is scaring the hell out of me.
There was a Peanuts strip about “becoming aware of your tongue.” You realize it’s there, and as you notice it more, it seems to get bigger, filling u your mouth and then, AAAAHHH!
Lucy berates Linus about him doing that, then after he’s gone, she sits there, then puts her hand up to her mouth, then AAAAAHHHH!!!
Just kiss her, dammit!
I second THAT emotion.
“Ya ya ya, just go on and kiss the girl!”
(done in my best Jamaican accent)
Like!
Looks like Monica has been excercising too much, her brain is running on empty.
He be a keeper, lookit his face in that last panel, he’s so hooked on her, that she could sprout wings, horns and a tail, and he’d snicker and not bat an eye at it.

Awaiting the next installment!!!
you could BUY a book – that would make Paul really happy!.. 😀
Help me relocate, and I’ll not only buy a book, I’ll put a lotta tips in the jar…
How many issues did she have at school- large boobs, glasses, a brace AND a long tongue
It’s a surprise that she didnt go craaaazzyyyyyyy!!
er.
….and being tormented by demons.
Anyone got the link for the running in front of the bus incident?
Mon doesn’t merely have issues, she has lifetime subscriptions.
Wow. That pun is too awesome to ask you to tip the jar. I’ll have to remember that one for future use.
Seconded! I am totally adopting that.
Thirded!
Ummmm–I hesitate to ask if we can get a subscription to that line…
I’m so stilling that one!!!!
That one has the pun jar giving YOU a tip.
*tips hat to MerchManDan* That was awesome. 😀
she’s dang near got a wing at the library.
Gosh! I’d figured that expression was as old as the hills, and it was just luck that I said it first. Glad you guys like it! 😀

Oh snap. Been there, done that, never again.
And yet at that moment she is so darn cute to him. I think it’s true love.
shes pregnant.
Started to think that too. But there was ‘another comic’ with a preggers arc & I thought “Nah, Paul wouldn’t go there, too easy.” Its something like some sorta PTSD, I’d guess. 😕
My brain went there too.
Possibly. But I think Tina would spot that right off. Getting pregnant should be a major change to a person’s aura.
… assuming she was looking for such- an’ I’ve been saying such fer a while and been hooted at for saying it-

i am really enjoying your comic paul.
Welp. At least Mr. Therapist Man is right there.
Actually, I think it’s Tina that has the PhD in psychology. But that was Tina 1.0, not 2.0.
To quote John Wayne: “Well, Haul off and Kiss her man!”
(She wore a yellow ribbon)
Not sure why, but Tina has been looking creeper and creeper the last several weeks. I think its because the spirals in her eyes are getting bigger and her hair keeps looking messed up. But damn she is scaring the hell out of me.
I don’t think she’s too terribly creepy on this page…
She has been looking more intense, not as smiley and positive, especially since Phix basically told her she is on her own.
Uncanny Valley Time.

Bullfrogs don’t have knockers like that…
Monica we don’t think of you as a bullfrog.
We think of you as a titmouse!
Never a bullfrog.
/\ This! /\
I would say that probably Kevin doesn’t think of her as a bullfrog.
