I can just imagine Jy lookig out his window and seeing Abel and Chicki running around in the garden like a pair of screaming kids at recess.

[PantheraLeo]

I'm wondering if she's intentionally being a ditz to chase Abel off because she's working for Jyrras...

As funny as it is, I still think it's too perfect for there not to be ebil mastermind behind it all. (Oh well, maybe I'm thinking too much, Chicki is that much of a ditz, and I'm just sensing Amber's sense of humor bleeding though because I read too much drama.)

Maybe she's a mech, the lines on top of her head is a door, and Deebs is at the controls.

[ArchTeryx]

She's almost as tenacious as Frank West. Probably just as crazy too. I had a good laugh on this one, Yakety Sax anyone?

Wow.  Getting chased off by a Squee Beetle to the tune of Yakkety Sax has to be close to the Ultimate Indignity for Abel.

There's a murphy's law that states: Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.

[Kaerou]

Cue benny hill theme.

[AmigaDragon]

I suddenly thought of the Benny Hill theme song in that last panel. XD

Yakety Sax, though I like Chet's Yakety Axe version as well.

[Grey Wolf]

Jeeze; Chicki has been in, like, four comics and I already adore her!
I find it amusing that the first insectis we meet breaks the xenophobic stereotype presented on their Demonology 101 page.

Quick, Abel! Pull a Melanion! Toss fistfuls of your feathers behind you! Maybe she'll stop to gather them!

EDIT: Wikipedia link added for the curious. Look at the first story under "Greek Mythology"

[PantheraLeo]

Haha! That's the problem, it's not stupid!

I just can't decide if it's the Chicki's role to be that naive and it's Amber who's playing up a joke (making Amber the 'ebil mastermind'), or if the character Chicki is playing Abel for a fool. (Though that would still be Amber.)

It's just too perfect a setup for there not the be a intelligence behind it. What makes it so interesting is I can't decide more of a joke - Which would make Chicki a ditz - or if it's more of a plot - Which would make a Chicki mastermind or a puppet of one (Maybe "DeathBringer" as the puppet as Bjalf suggested?).

Little things like that is why ye forum goers are cursed with my two cents. DMFA crafted well enough to entertain me, make me want more, but doesn't update enough to answer all me questions! (Mayhaps that's the real evil plot!)

I highly doubt she's covered wars, ya know?

[D'ymkarra]

Why does the crazy bug thing just ASSUME that Abel's a secret agent from the future?    Is it because it's the only thing he didn't actually deny being?

I guess. Kinda like how whenever someone says "No comment" or "I plead the fifth" or "Maybe" to a question they don't want to say "Yes" to, it's assumed they're saying "Yes."

To quote UncleKage, "Anything other than yes, is still yes!"

[Bjalf]

Cue benny hill theme.

Of all the stupid, annoying, irritating tunes to get stuck in the head, on frickin' repeat ...

[Attic Rat]

Da bug is bugs. Time ta bug out!

Er... did you want to try that one again, coherently this time? Or should we just guess what you mean, and then abuse you for it?

[Tapewolf]

There's a murphy's law that states: Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I think you'll find that's called "Hanlon's Razor".  Though I'm a big fan of the Clarke-Hanlon principle which states that "Any sufficiently advanced malice is indistinguishable from stupidity."

[Bjalf]

Run Abel, Run!  D:

Umm, Abel? That "blending in" class you took?

You fail.

(whimper)

Intelligence, as apposed to a 'sheeple'. 'Sheeple' being a compound of 'sheep' and 'people'. Someone that has lost all will to think beyond what they're told to think or have seen. To the point they're no longer merely complaisant, they've given up the ability to even agree with someone to be complaisant. A personification of "monkey see, monkey do". Mentally indolent. Someone who doesn't stop to think about what they do, they merely do because someone else put a thought in their head to do that.

Someone that makes use of their god Given brain, as apposed to drifting though "9 to 5" with their brain in permanent "off" mode. Which I should point out, has nothing to with the size or functionality of someones' brain, only that they use it. (I get ticked at people when they say "I'm stupid". My failure with written languages not withstanding.)

As in, someone taking the time to think though something.



A.K.A. Intelligence!

That is to say, the events of the last few comics where orchestrated in my someone or something with a deliberate effort, that could not happen by without a effort. That is, Either Amber wrote Chicki as a pawn of her or someone else to further the joke -OR- she wrote Chicki as her self masterminding some plot to throw Abel off-balance as a stepping stone to something else. That is, the quote "Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity." does not apply because things are too ordered for there not to be so sort of malice involved.

Trying to figure out which it is is fun! (I'm in the wrong crowd maybe?)

Perhaps I'd understand the question better if you,llearch n'n'daCorna, elaborated more. If I thought what I said was unclear I would have explained better; So, your questions a mystery to me. I do not understand it. (Hints me over compensating on my definition.) I've been faulted for leaving blanks for others to fill in, so I'm doing as told, and was trying to be clear.

I think "It's just too perfect a setup for there not the be a intelligence behind it." says the exactly what this entire post up to this point say. While I laugh along with the Benny Hill comments, I just don't have much to add to them.

On another subject...
----------------------

Not I'm perfect. Granted I make many many grammar, spelling, and pronunciation mistakes. (It may take hours if I spot my mistakes at all.) 1rst grade to after college my ability to use any written language (outside programming) has always been very poor. To the point my teacher wanted to hold be back in 1rst grade of all things! That is to say, I have trouble written languages, but I'm always thankful when someone takes the time to correct me or ask for clarification. It allows me to improve me self, if ever so slightly.

Please don't antagonize me ("... Or should we just guess what you mean, and then abuse you for it?"). I like to be meek and timid, and have trouble with it some times. (ok, a lot of the time.) Do not think me toothless. I do not identify with a lion (Panthera Leo) because I thought it was cuddly or have insecurity issues. I chose my predator carefully. Please do not antagonize me!

This is not the first time I have asked you,(That was a private message) Please let it be the last. Please? Please? If you have a problem with me, I do check to see if I have primate messages, send me one!

Re-read the quoted sentence carefully. I'm pretty sure you either left a word out, or didn't say what you thought you did.

Seriously. I'm not jumping on you here, I'm politely trying to suggest that your sentence structure is somewhat lacking to the point that you're no longer comprehensible.


A lengthy explanation on what you mean by intelligence is welcome, but slightly mis-aimed. I wasn't criticising your meaning, but attempting to correct your typing. Take a few minutes, we'll wait. Honest.

Oh my GOD It's so intense!

... and you lot can just back off, ya bullies. :-P

[Turnsky]

fair cop, folks should realise however that there is an intelligence behind all of this...



She writes and draws the blessed thing, after all. 

[Alteisentier]

Okay; lets back up a minute and stop with the running joke. Panther, you entirely missed the point. You missed it so hard you've shot out of orbit, sailed past mars and mercury and probably found alien life in the distant stars. (PS. Say hi for me.)

Really; if you have that much trouble structuring your sentences into a coherent and easily understandable format.. It might be well worth investing the time to sit back, re-read your post a few times. And then re-write it.

To be honest it's not like you lack effort; you type up a storm and a half. So why not just put that extra bit of effort into reading what people say, fixing up your writing and over all improving your communication; forums don't exactly go much faster than a snail. There's plenty of time for it.

And on another note; I'll just leave it for you to think about. But you do realize just how condescending, and down right insulting the majority of your posts content was, mmm? Don't go raving over an innocent; and valid complaint against some horrible grammar and then try to play the meek, victim.

Hehe, there's lots of primate messages here, both open and private.

Alright, now that we're done talking about Panthera, can we go back on topic? I'm requesting a gif of Abel running away from Chicki, if anyone is willing to do so. It would be a fun avatar to have.
