03/25/10 [DMFA #1096] - Maybe it's a comic about Spiders!

[jeffh4]

Don't you just hate getting startled like that? 

Good to see that Abel's relexes are still in great shape!

[Zedd]

Double wakeup call

[Baal Hadad]

Wow, I don't recall seeing that expression on Abel's face since....

...well, since Abel's Story.

[RandomMetaphysics]

Bwehehe. Amber really knows how to convey shock on her characters
Abel got so freaked out (not only from Fi but also from his dream), he ripped the pillow

That soft glow effect is also really cool! Once again, Amber provides us with awesome.

Don't you just hate getting startled like that?  

A looooooong time ago, my cat would wake me up at the same time every day, by jumping right on top of me while I was sleeping...
I never got used to it, and Abel's expression pretty much sums up my reaction whenever the cat did that.

[Jasonrevall]

its spider cat spider cat, does whatever a spider cat can. lol i bet the comic is spider man too. I really love the lighting (or whatever the technical term would be) for this strip. Also thanks for the extra strip Amber (if she reads this).

[Naldru]

Since it's a furry adventure, shouldn't it be Spider-Ham.

[nicoreon the tyrannical]

Reminds me of the time my mother took home a dog to meet are cat a few years ago. I believe it was the only time i have ever seen a creature run up, and along a wall anime stile in real life.

...well, since Abel's Story.

I said the same thing, maybe Amber's planning a crossover comic!

[ooklah]

I wish I could cling to the ceiling. 

[SpottedKitty]

On the bright side, Abel doesn't have to try explaining to Alexsi the blood on the floor upstairs...

Just the clawmarks on the ceiling downstairs.

Huh.  I've always loved having a cat jump onto me.  It means that I'm loved by something fuzzy and cuddly.  Or at least wanted.  Then again, I tend to sleep under some thick blankets, so claws aren't much of a worry.  I can sleep through most anything, as long as it's not rhythmic and repetitive.       ||

I also tend to tackle cats that jump on me and hold them hostage while I go back to sleep.  Cats who know me tend to spend most of the time sleeping at the foot of my bed.  Not sure why.  

[Tapewolf]

Poor, poor Abel.  He's not going to be able to hide this from the others.  He's not even going to be able to sleep it off like his tiff with Dan because he's now got a job.
I don't know if 'Cubi of his age are prone to 'flu, whether that might work as an excuse...

OOh!
My first cat was a wonderful savage huntery animal - she caught pretty much anyhting that moved from rodents to insects to fallen screws (in the last case, brought them to me  )
One night i was sleeping, i woke up to some noise, suddenly a scared midsize spider ran across my face and hand and immediately after, from the cupboard above my head (it was in front of the bed) the cat jumped down landing right next to my head and proceeding to hunt the spider....
Fun awakening at 4 AM!

[Brownie]

Well, I guess I'm an elitist then.
Comics are not a legit form of literature.

Also, I just can't get over Fi's Glowing Aura. I want one.

[iceick]

Yey, Fi's back, and his timing couldn't be better. At least Abel isn't so upset about his dream now.

Soon after my wife got her cat, he would assert his dominance by jumping on her face at night.  Finally he did this when she was only partially asleep.  She showed her cat-like reflexes (sorry) by catching him by the throat in mid jump.  As she slowly returned to wakefulness, she was telling herself "don't strangle the cat, don't strangle the cat. . . ." When she was fully awake, she saw that she was actually strangling the cat.  He was now cross-eyed and not looking very happy.  She tossed the cat away and he ran off.  

Not surprisingly, he never again tried to jump on her face at night.

I do notice a trend here.  It seems the cats in our lives are the reason for our startled morning wake-ups!

[JackTheCubiWolf]

I just noticed something. I took a closer look at the cover of the comic, and the picture looks like Fi hold the comic.

[Ghostwish]

This is the first comic in a while that honestly made me laugh. Oh Fi, you hyper-active little ball of energy...

[Naldru]

In my case, what is wanted is to be fed.

[joshofspam]

Now does this mean Abel will try to avoid Mab and Pip or is this going to lead to a confrontation between these three?

Yes now let's add to the list of what bothers Abel

1. Spiders. (Oh that is one big eeeek!)

2. Alexia in a bad mood. (Fear the mallet.)

3. Genesis. ( There's some huge amount of crazy attached to those.)

4. His Dad. (......)

5. A talking Drake in his dreams that knows way to much about him (even for it to be a dream) that looks surprising like a Drake of a friend of the person I'm tutoring and living with.

Wait are their more things that bother Abel?

[Sind]

Oh man, I love Warp-Aci's 

[Techcubi]

HAHAAHHAHAAHHAAHAHAH- Oh, wait, you were serious?

[Lucheek]

Abel didn't really move or make any noises when he woke up, or at least that we saw. So Fi must've noticed his eyes opening. I can imagine Fi just sitting next to the bed, patiently waiting for his eyes to open to spring this question.

I really like the glowy effects in the dark room for this one.

I'm sure many a discussion / argument has been had over this sort of thing, like what constitutes art, for some its paint squiggles, for others it's computer games.

[Riddel_Espoir]

Um... maybe it's a bit off-topic, but how come Fi's tail Pip-bite mark is still there? I mean, don't Warp-aci get to regenerate small injuries?

[MT Hazard]

Perhaps he's decided to keep it (like demons sheep's bone wing) or perhaps being bitten in the same place twice means it taking longer to heal.

But does it matter at all? I mean the only difference is that art/literature , unlike the other text and pictures also get discussed by shabbily dressed  pretentious people in small cafes and wineries.

Remember what popped into Abel's head when Dan asked him to think of the scarriest thing he could imagine?  It was the Cubi instructor in the labcoat and monster-sized syringe.  I think his name is "Ink."

[Mrs_A_ZeTavia]

I wonder if Abel learned his ninja like reflexes from Jyrras..... 

[Sunblink]

Amber, your shading/lighting in this page is stellar. I wanna know how this is done, seriously. I tried duplicating it (bad idea) once and failed pretty miserably. I don't understand how it doesn't take you like a million layers.

Uh, but I digress.

This. Or pretentious people sitting behind a judge's table.

"You're right in that I shouldn't expect too much from comic book writing, but what kind of an excuse is that? Comic book writers do not undergo mandatory lobotomies. Was Watchmen just comic book writing? Was Schindler's List just a bunch of flickery lights on a wall?" - Yahtzee (lol Batman: Arkham Asylum review)
