*asplodes*

Clean up in aisle 6- we've got another one!

[DigitalMan]

... however, as has been mentioned, I expect that there will be others who will ignore this and insert their own interpretation. (Read: pr0n.)

PR0000N!

... Wait, Abel pr0n... Amber's got me all confused now ;_; Evil, so evil...

*scoots away from anyone unfazed by the comic and/or topic*

[Madd the Sane]

Hey, I just realised something...  Now all the female peeps can be gay for Abel, too!

I worry about you   

Yeah, because I have been staying up too late (1 A.M., sometimes later  ) It took me a bit of reading to understand what was going on.  I just recognized that Abel changed hair color and maybe breasts. speaking of which, I need to finis an overdue homework assignment and it's already 11P.M.!  Stupid Aspergers...

[Saist]

somebody take my eyes. I'm pretty sure I no longer want them.

I recognize those kilt designs

I followed this link to an online store for them.  They have a snap in the middle at the bottom edge to keep them from blowing up when there's strong wind... or something else indecent.

I ain't wearing no kilt! I'm wearing... mage's... robes... which....

* je.saist suddenly turns beat red as the mages cloak bares all

* je.saist scampers away from the leaf blower

[AmigaDragon]

It took me a couple read-throughs to make the connection between "adjust body mass" and "I always forget the shirts". At least now Abel's chest color pattern matches up with his "adjusted" mass(es). 

[xHaZxMaTx]

And I too hate to admit it... but I surprisingly got through this topic without flinching... I am now worried 

Coming from the guy with a nekked Dan in his sig...

[Taross]

Hmm... Blue doesn't seem to be Abels colour I think... At least for hair.

[mini-lion]

*wants to die hair blue for the sake of it*

[e_voyager]

Did Abel give himself manboobs or femmeboobs? Which is it?!

Technically, they're femmeboobs in every way. But they still don't work (e.g. lactate) -- that requires -permanent- magic, not just simple metamorphosis.

ink there have been cases of males lactating without magic. more of then didn't have large boobs and a couple had around  3 or 4 nipples but that's a different medical condition.

It is probably some form of irony that only with the addition of word bubbles that it then implies there is something there to be hidden.

it's a time honored tradition Amber the illusion of something being covered is more tempting the the image of it raw. is has something to the with the allure of the mystery.

[Tapewolf]

Urrrr... I totally missed it on first read.

Anyway, as I believe I mentioned, Dan can do a passable job without magic.  All he really needs to learn from Abel is hiding his backwings, which appears to be pretty easy if the headwings are anything to go by.  Pretty much everything else can be done with fur dye and rolled-up towels or something.

[Jack McSlay]

I can't blame dan for being horrified... a person with a male face and boobs does sound weird

and even if to learn that he usually needs month, Dan can do it, like, master Kame claims he needed 50 years to learn the Kame-Hame-Ha while both Goku and Kiririn learned in the first try 

besides... if things go critical, Jy could likely be able to fo an Alexsi patch in a snap

[Sid]

Okay, the day started completely crappy (and that state of crappiness will last for 24 hours, after which things might get even crappier), but THIS made grin.

Silly note: Abel's mid-change hair is awesome.

[MT Hazard]

Not to nitpick or anything, but it seems that Abel failed to remember to shift his facial features into something more feminine.  Which would further explain why Dan is all "MEIN EYEZ!  ZEY BURN!".

In other news, bewbs.

Both Abel and Dan have been misstaken for women before with their normal faces. Remember Abel's 'Think of the readers!' bit and Dan's club fight? Maybe its just them or maybe a lot of cubi males look androgynous, like Ted in El Gonnish Shive. Must be a pan to go though like like that, being labeled a 'pretty boy' or worse.

But dont forget the mall which Dan and Abel was there ohhh man crazyness. And I bet you Abel shifted to both forms of male and female for the person who paid him cash Remember? Anywho I think it's like those Muscular women that's why Dan is freaking out in the mirrior imagine your head on a muscular female bodybuilder *shudders*............

[Prof B Hunnydew]

 

But I like Pretty Boys ...Bishies ... especially If they can turn into Girls.  Woot!

Lust mode on/

Hmmm didn't know you like that here have a cookie Okay my brain freezed for a second what was the topic again?

Hmmm... So you're saying that if you look at the last panel with Abel seen from the side in it, his chest always jutted out from his collarbone the way it does there? :p

[Arcalane]

I'm starting to think Abel will be the one being Alexsi and Dan will end up being Merlitz.

Which, if you think about it, is fairly logical. Dan has known Merl for longer, and is not as experienced as Abel at shapeshifting. Method to the madness? Perhaps.

Dan only has to change colouration, reshape body mass a -little- (unlike Abel's ample demonstration) and hide all wings. Simple enough, compared to what Abel listed off. It's still three out of three, but I don't think Dan will have any problem with wings (seeing as he did once make them into Pac-Men) and minor body-mass modifications should be simple enough. Otherwise, the only problem is changing hair & fur colour.

On another note;

The fanbois will go wild.

I agree that the hair colour doesn't match Abel.

I'd argue that Dan has known his own sister before having met Merlitz (and that Abel had met Merlitz before Alexsi).
However, the shapeshifting part would be true. On the other hand, Abel would have trouble actually playing Alexsi's part. He has proven to be a bit out of touch with quite a few non-SAIA concepts (like digicams and beings in general)...

[Lomgren]

Well, I figured out what was going on with Abel in the first read-through.  Then again, I also read El Goonish Shive, so it wasn't hard to figure that out. 

The changing sequences are interesting, especially seeing Abel's hair mid-change.  The wings... not much to say about them.  Not much going on there.  And the... body-mass redistribution... poor Dan.

And I'm not sure who would end up masquerading as who.  Abel doesn't know either of them well at all.

Indeed.  There are a number of snags.  Dan and Alexsi are both the same (leonine) species and fur colour, Merlitz is some kind of tiger/cheetah hybrid and structually different.  To become Merlitz Dan would have to hide his wings, replicate the base fur colour and patterning, change the shape of his skull, tail and so forth.  Whereas to become Alexsi he simply has to dye his hair, hide his wings and shove something down his front.

And as you mention, Abel is 375 years or so behind the times and has met Alexsi twice.  He also doesn't know where anything is in the inn - Dan has covered running it for Alexsi on at least once occasion (#31).  Alexsi will be doing all the talking - Merlitz just has to stay quiet and speak when he's spoken to.

[skwerly]

Truthfully, the original image without the word-bubble isn't all that revealing. (it's similar to Abel's chest only more...full.)  It's actually similar to Matilda's chest only fluffy.

Great!  So PaiGon won't mind if you reveal (heh) the wordbubbleless version of the strip (heh), right?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

*whap* Bad skwerly. Bad.

Now all we need is Jyrras to come running in.
