    I thought these girls jumped to 15 recently.

      Shawna and Hiroshi are 16 years old. Cas, Scarlet, timothy, and Daylla are 14.

        Minor dis-continuity, then? (or Daylla is confoozed?)

        Sorry about the mixup. I got the continuity sorted. Hit “F5” on those comics to see the fixed text. *bonks head on desk*

    You seem to be very wise, thirteen or not.

      Talk about wisdom from the mouths of babes…

    Every time Shawna gets a little freaked out she starts sprouting eyes and it freaks ME out.

      Under stress, human teens tend to break out in zits. It’s not really any worse than that, although I doubt that the folks who make Clearasil make an equivalent product to deal with eyeballs.

        And since the para community has a vested interest in keeping themselves secret, sprouting extra eyeballs could lead to possible MIB-level problems.

    She only has eyes for Hiroshi….

      Speaking of eyes, what kind of Para is Shawna anyway???

        Paul has said that she is a Pixie (of the Wapsiverse variety).

    “But, I’m only a fourteen year old girl, what do I know?”

    More than most adults IRL apparently.

      Age and wisdom, rarely are they in each other’s company for long.

    Shawna must be hit with adolescence. Her face is breaking out with pimples that look just like little eyes.

    Is Scarlet using some subtle reverse psychology on Shawna — designed to get the latter to question and ultimately reject her attraction to Hiroshi — so that Cas has fewer obstacles?

      I don’t think Scarlet plays those kinds of games. Especially not with Cas. I think she’s just trying to get Shawna to slow down, realize that she doesn’t know what she wants or even really feels, and to just take time to process it all. I doubt there’s any alterior motive to make sure x ends up with x, because I think of all of them, she realizes life doesn’t work that way.

    I liked the first panel where she seemed to be pressing at the 4th wall….sorta pointedly talking to a particular someone in our reality…

    Hey Paul!
    How many tails does Scarlet’s mom have?

    • Dave
      July 31, 2018, 5:11 pm | # | Reply

      Tails? Brenda has only been visible below-the-waist once that I know of (here) and her position and posture are such that we can’t tell if she even has a single tail.

      Now, I could very well believe that she has many tales and is therefore a Lady of Lore. She seemed to be doing a great job of speaking wisely to Scarlet about relationships… and so she may be Scarlet’s mentor in such things.

      Are Brenda and Scarlet’s people the inspiration for the legends of kitsune in the Wapsiverse? Wouldn’t surprise me.

        In Japanese mythology, fox gods get more tails the older, wiser, and more powerful they get. =)

    Scarlett looks a bit like Phix in the last panel. She even seems to be channeling her advice-giving style as well. Are you sure she’s not part Sphinx?

    Uh-oh, she’s going into Pixie mode; that can only mean one thing…

    This kinda reminds me of Samuel Clemens’ first trip to Australia.
    One quotation: “When I was 14, my dad was an idiot and I couldn’t stand to be around him.
    When I was 21, he was a genius.
    It is ASTONDING how much that man learned in seven years!”

    A reporter in the audience noted (rather tongue-in-cheek) all the adults in the audience laughed, but the teenagers looked confused.

    Been thinking.
    What would be the evolutionary advantage of multiple eyes (mammal-like eyes, as opposed to an insect) like this? I think I’ve got a good answer:
    Superhuman depth perception.
    Shawna should be able to see a paper lying on the bench at the far bottom end of these bleachers, and be able to tell you if it’s one or two sheets thick.
    …
    …I have no idea what the *useful* implications for that might be, unless she becomes a sniper (doesn’t seem to suit her personality).
