10/31/2010 [DMFA #1161] - No candy for you!

[Infranscia]

Well... That was anti-climactic.

I guess we'll see Abel's thoughts on it sooner or later (probably), at least?


On another note, it's almost ironic how Amber says she feels like 'living death' on Halloween of all nights.  Hope you feel better soon, Amber.  *hugs*

[Ghostwish]

Somehow, I saw that coming. We might see something in the next strip though.

Might. This is a key time for the Mabs to pull another scene switch on us.

[Arcblade]

Aww... poor Devin.  But that is Abel's standard tactic:  something scary/awkward?  AVOID.

[RandomMetaphysics]

I couldn't stop snickering at Abel's reaction in the first panel. Something tells me he's probably making an "Oh frig" face and freaking out behind the door.

Great page as always.

Get well soon Amber!

[Jasonrevall]

That went about as well as could be expected for the meeting. Now we just need to wait and see the aftermath.

Also I wish you good health Amber.

[AxiLarin]

Poor Abel.  The look on his face was making my heart ache.    To see a friend who died a horrific death right in front of you show up at the front door with a bowlful of rum balls... I personally would need the bowl of rum balls to deaden the shock.  Heavy on the rum.

[Attic Rat]

Abel is probably hyperventilating on the other side of that door. He'll probably open it again when he calms down.

Then promptly slam it shut again. Because A) it'd be funny, and B) you are the most vulnerable when you believe you are the most secure.

[Madd the Sane]

Wait, doesn't Devin have a key to the house? I expect next update to have something similar to when Dan ran from Fa'lina.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Not only does he have it, he was holding it visibly in the strip immediately previous.

[Ragesquid]

Is it wrong that I feel worse for Devin, than I do, for Abel? That second panel. He looks so SAD.

Actually, Devin wasn't Abel's friend. He was his bully. So yeah, I can understand Abel's reaction.

[Valynth]

Alternate/additional bug text:  "Hey, I've covered malls you know!"

down the road joke: "Well, I've never shopped in one before."

[MT Hazard]

Well, looks likes theirs less chance of those pictures of Abel getting out now, assuming that was a traditional film camera anyway.

[Tapewolf]

Depends if the Insectis was visible behind Devin.

[joshofspam]

I guess it was a little sedated compared to how some undead might be greeted at the door.

I would take it that most loved ones did act that way when their loved ones came back from death. All kinds of awkward.

I wonder how Jyrras's mom took it when her undead friend came along and asked to work her murder case?

Get well soon Amber.

[SilentSoror]

Undead ... poor guys!

Devin was one of the first mindless servants, he doesn't know what Abel is going through.  He thinks it's the standard reaction to his presence.  But Abel took the extra effort of locking it right in front of them, so maybe Devin will handle it another way, rather than barging in

But I don't like to second guess Amber, it can take some of the surprise away from the comic.   I'm just hoping she gets well soon, and not only for my comic lust based selfishness, but also for the lust of others.

Speaking of comic lust and Amber ... when is there going to be another wallpaper war?  I'm sure she could use the cash, .... are there not enough veiwers to make it worth the effort?

[Starcat5]

Last I heard, she still owed a wallpaper for the CVRPG fans. Let the poor necromaticly challanged artist get caught up before finding MORE stuff for her to do. 

[Mrs_A_ZeTavia]

Instead of a reaction of fear with fire or smashing cameras, if I ever met an Undead I'd probably take a more curious interest and start randomly poking them asking, "Are you sure you can't feel that?"

[lilpuppy23]

I wonder how often Amber washes her hands?

Of course, you're still more than welcome to donate money anyway. I'm sure that'd help.

WAS his bully. And, he was a kid then. A kid, who had a mother who hated him, and was raised by non-caring relatives. So, in all honesty...He was just jealous of Abel, and, acted on it by chunking rocks at him.

[Starcat5]

Also, he died saving Abel's life. ...sort of. And Abel DID pattern his public persona after him. His private persona is still that of a teenager who just watched several people die right in front of him, INCLUDING watching his own father kill his best friend the night before her wedding.

He can't use his public persona, because the template for that persona is standing right in front of him, BACK FROM THE FRIKKIN' DEAD! That leaves his private persona to curl in a fetal position and cry for his mommy. ...who died of old age, ALSO right before his eyes.

Man. Wonder if Abel can shut off his emotions like Fa'Lina did that one time. Cause from how all of that sounds, I think he would personally need some of that right now after seeing devin

It's kind of hard to shut off your own emotions when you're panicing (trust me I know).

[Vanvidum]

Do you think this would be a bad time for Jyrras to wake up and wonder what the commotion at the door is all about?

[iceick]

Naw, things are still calm in the house, if Devin and Chici were to come into the house and have Deebs sister chase them past Jyrras' room waking him up that would be perfect.

[Attic Rat]

I can understand why an undead wouldn't bruise when face-smashed with a camera, but you'd thing there would be some horrid and disgusting results anyway. Enough that nobody would EVER smash an undead in the face with a camera again.

[AmigaDragon]

Also, he died saving Abel's life. ...sort of.

He died reacting to Abel's headwings, jumping up from cover while under fire.

Naw, things are still calm in the house, if Devin and Chici were to come into the house and ...

Just because Devin has a key, doesn't mean he has the right or inclination to let paparazzi in.
