7/26/09 [Abel Story pt.2 #62] Why so serious?!

[Lisky]

Does anyone get a creepy Dark Knight's Joker vibe coming from Oolong all of a sudden?

[Baal Hadad]

How long has Abel been there?  Clearly she knows him, hasn't just met him....

Maybe I haven't been paying attention, and for that I apologize....



But it looks like we're starting to see the seeds of the "moody" Abel we all know and love now....

[Arapaima]

Holy time warp Batman!
I didn't think that it had been years between him arriving at SAIA and the current events.

edit: I must also take note of how creepy that tentacle-head thing is. The smile's bad enough, but the ominous shadow imagery is really creepy.

My take on it is that the Mink Yammer pages was a time dilation page.

It's just showing how persistant Mink is.. Minks been talking to able nonstop for years now

[Janus Whitefurr]

Goddamnit, that last panel is reminding of something I can't quite grasp ahold of AGAIN. *shakes fist of futility*

[OminousShadow]

I think we may see the famous Library incident tomorrow... Or if Amber is sadistic, next week.

[Baal Hadad]

I think we may see the famous Library incident tomorrow... Or if Amber is sadistic, NOT AT ALL.

Fixed that for ya.

[Lego3400]

Seeing as Amber already said she's not going to put it in Abel's story, NOT AT ALL is correct.

[Jairus]

Dang, time skips galore in this arc. Interesting. So, she does communicate more directly through the other heads and her tentacles. Also interesting.

Actually... has Abel even smiled in the main DMFA arc?

"There's only one bed in this room...."

[rhyfe2002]

Ohh.. that pink tentacle looks so nice and juicy... 

*CHOMP*

[Dagardo]

Maybe Abel forgot how to smile, in a happy way anyway.Maybe I just get that idea because his face in the last panel says "and you're not gonna see it now" to me. And in response to Baal Hadad's statement, he could always remember again. Also the way Oolongs tentacles are positioned on Abel's head says "tentacle rape" to me, for some odd reason... not that I'm against the idea.

Ah, right. I forgot about that. Well, he may be smiling in the present, but he certainly hasn't smiled since at least Devin's death. Poor guy.

[Kirishala]

Ohh.. that pink tentacle looks so nice and juicy... 

*CHOMP*

Ya' know attempting to eat something bigger than you with lots of mouths, big scary teeth, and tentacles may not be the best idea ever, Oolong may well decide that turn about is fair play.

I think there's a few scens where he smiles in summer of yought.

I know what it's reminding me of.
Look at the porcelain-white face, the irisless eyes, the exaggerated expressions, the long ears becoming a large headdress-
How ironic that the SAIA definition of order and silence, their wall-mounted Librarian, would be so reminiscient of a previous character defined as being pure chaos and insanity.

For the first itme in history someone is being hit on by a wallpaper  Long live weirdness!

[Nobody]

Am I the only one that thinks Oolong is getting WAAAAAAAAY to comfortable with Abel?  At the rate she's going, we're going to have attempted tenacle rape!

[!KCA]

. . .Tentacle rape. . .

Correction, omnidirectional tentacle rape.

[jeffh4]

All of the Japanese readers squeal: "Yay! Finally! There is no such thing as anime comics without tentacles!"

[ChaosMageX]

For the first itme in history someone is being hit on by a wallpaper  Long live weirdness!

It gives a whole new meaning to the term "wall flower".

"Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me
And after all
You're my Wonderwall~"

[Fex]

Only work and no play, make Abel a boring boy!

I have no idea where I heard this. but it fits

[MT Hazard]

"Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, youll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

<instrumental interlude>

Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile"

I know what it's reminding me of.

I.. honestly don't see it. But then again, Hex was such a chaotic character you could see her in anything if you tried hard enough.

Either way, I figured my own problem out. It's the curling part of the tentacle below the head and the grin. Makes me think of Coyote in Gunnerkrigg Court.

[Wanderer]

Personal space invader. What is it about critters with tentacles that gives them an overwhelming need to curl them around anyone nearby?

[undadog]

. . .Tentacle rape. . .

Violating someone by tentacle is really not how you make them smile. Limp maybe 

[Dagardo]

. . .Tentacle rape. . .

Correction, omnidirectional tentacle rape.

Always better than normal tentacle rape, because there is no possibility of escape. Oh the images that just popped into my head.

Personal space invader. What is it about critters with tentacles that gives them an overwhelming need to curl them around anyone nearby?

It gives the one they're wrapping them around less room to escape, and we all know what that leads to.

[Scarydragon]

I know I'm not the only one when I say that I hope "the Library Incident" stays just that, an incident that is never explained, only ever mentioned by name and name alone. It's a better effect to allow ones mind to imagine what went on then to actually reveal the truth. Especially if said event involved tentacles in any ways shape or form.
