02/06/09 [Abel 2 #43] - The Tour

[Jairus]

Heheh, looks like Abel's attracted the eye of a young Sucubus. Who loves her sammich. And has suction cups. Hm. Interesting. An Octocubi. Or maybe an Octobus. Should I stop with the puns?

So... is it Fa'Lina giving him the tour? And that... raccoon?... in the second panel isn't being very nice, playing keepaway with that Warp-Aci and the cookie.

[Lego3400]

At first I thought that was a girl... Then I noticed the flat and bare chest in the last panel... And is he waving at Abel or Fa'Lina (Or whoever the tour guide is) or someone we can't see... I can't tell..

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

I think he's just playing with his glow rat. If the warp-Aci really wants the cookie, he could just port over and grab it, right?

[Arcblade]

One of those Cubi looks a lot like Dan.  The one with magenta wings, freaking out.  Maybe another Cyra clan Cubi?  Regardless, cool.   

[Pagan]

I'm pretty sure that our sandwich eating, waving friend is male. Note the lack of breasts. Cute expressions though.
Oh, and there's the elephant cubi from the previous page.

[Daymond42]

Krystal can't enjoy her sandwich.... because the cubi got it instead. *nods sagely*

[Kanepaul]

I wonder if the cubi with the sandwich is going to come back later in the story .

I noticed that too.  But this would be over 350 years before Dan was born, so...

The guide doesn't appear to be Fa'Lina though.  The wings are white with black tips and the clothing is a light blue.  Not that Fa'Lina couldn't shapeshit to match that, but why would she?

[stiletto]

He's gay for Abel.

[Jairus]

He's gay for Abel.

The earliest recorded instance!

[Janus Whitefurr]

Note just to the left of the freaking out cubus that there's a canid head just leaning in from offpanel with a very sly look on its face. Oh dearie me.

And that octocubus or whatever it is is farging adorable. Can I keep him?

[Tyranastrasz]

That 'Cubi is heading in the opposite direction that Abel is facing and the speech bubbles are pointing to, so I would assume it is just some random passerby.

Also, the succubus with the book has returned as well!

[Cogidubnus]

Or maybe an Octobus. Should I stop with the puns?

Is Octobusfest.

Also, comic is lovely. Exposition on SAIA is few and far between.

[Kipiru]

Man, I wish we could see the face of that golden- horned, blue- haired succubus in the bottom panel!

[AmigaDragon]

At first I thought that was a girl... Then I noticed the flat and bare chest in the last panel... And is he waving at Abel or Fa'Lina (Or whoever the tour guide is) or someone we can't see... I can't tell..

I'm pretty sure it's Fa'Lina giving the tour. In Abel's recent/current state, she probably intends to be personally in charge of him for a while. Since she's out of view in each panel, and given the apparent eye contact, I say his wave is for Abel. Maybe he has a thing for spots, or maybe he's just on the lookout for new students to befriend.

abel has a new friend. a special friend.

anyone else think hes probably the 'touchie-feelie' kind?

[Baal Hadad]

I was going to make mention of my surprise that that character is apparently male (unless "she" has some strange condition of some sort)....

But now I'm not sure why I was surprised--in effect, I'm surprised at my own surprise....

[Jairus]

It could just be that Amber decided to subvert the Non-Mammal Mammaries trope, but I suppose it would be best for Amber to clear this up at some future point.

[Tapewolf]

I love the designs, all of them.  Is that a doberman on the left there?
Anyway, the main 'Cubi is puzzling me too, though he/she certainly seems to have something of an impulse control problem 

[Kipiru]

So you noticed it too, I wonder if it has something to do with the new character that you are introducing in PF.

Unlikely, though I did actually get the idea for him from one of Amber's side characters.  This doesn't look like them, though.

[Turnsky]

wrong hair color, remember?

[Tapewolf]

wrong hair color, remember?

Given that I was colouring the dude until 2AM last night, I hope that was aimed at Kipiru 

Or, if you meant the other guy, his fur colour is wrong too.  Though I guess at the end of the day...

[Kipiru]

Well sure, I guess there are a lot of doberman cubi out there, I just thought it might be a sort of a wink from Amber to PF(resent fancomics and all).

I know that's probably meant to say 'recent', but the typo has made me start giggling horribly. Considering the majority of fanstuff isn't particularly high quality 'resent' might be a better word. I can't comment on PF though. :b

It is a typo- shame on me! 

[Naldru]

Actually, my first thought was that the cubi really likes toast.  Well, we'll see what happens.

Edit:

I may have been too subtle.
Aaryanna likes toast.
Note emoticon above.

getting back on topic, this comic is about this guy after all:

Anyone flash back to this comic when noticing the tentacles? I'm particularly interested in what this cubi's reaction will be when Abel starts wearing skirts...

Actually I get reminded of this- damn, I still can't get over the fact that Hennya got killed, she didn't deserve it.
