Abel seems to be in urgent need of a hug.
Shame the only things nearby are a sleeping kangaroo rat of questionable mental health, a large, inquisitive insect, the reanimated corpse of a childhood friend who was murdered in front of him and a pink bunny made out of bubblegum.

And a large mecha-bunny -- but again, not exactly high on the huggability index (unless you're Mab).

And maybe a killer roo-bot.

This brings up a thought... Suppose a Cubi became delusional and believed himself to be somebody or something else; having the ability to assume the appearance of that "else," how would anyone ever know?

[Madd the Sane]

Knock him out?

Actually, I always thought that was the cornerstone behind the belief that Dan and Able were brothers. After all, having permanent memory loss and having a fresh start at life would be about the only things keeping Dee from killing Aniz and eating his soul, because he would not BE Aniz anymore.

Not that I personally support this stance, but it IS a fun theory to poke at every once and a while.

On the plus side, Fa'Lina is never more than a short teleport away .. he could hug her.

[Castle Pokemetroid]

Wow, was Abel just drivin to insanity due to deebs?

Never thought that would happen.

[D'ymkarra]

But then again, Abel didn't leave the Academy in a terribly well-planned manner.

Not well planned from Abel's perspective, yes...But Fa'Lina could have seen this coming a mile away. Something about reconciling your past, in order to move into the future?

[Valynth]

*looks around*

really?  I have to make the joke?  Alright, here goes...

Gentlemen Jyrras can rebuild him, he has the technology....  Better, stronger, faster...  Abel Rewanz will be the six million hugs man!

*promises to never make such a joke again.*

[Starcat5]

*promises to never make such a joke again.*

*Looks at Valynth, then at the unlit bonfire and VERY lit torch, then back at Valynth*
I'll hold you to that.

{Edit} For the record, the part I take offence with is you butchering the quote by tossing the word "Hugs" in there haphazardly. Calling him "The Six Million Dollar Cubi" would have been just fine. ...of course, once one accounts for inflation, it might be closer to "Six Billion", but that is just splitting hairs.

So, Abel's going to go have a mental breakdown.  This was probably overdue, come to think of it.  Wonder what Deebs is going to have to say.  And our bunny robot.  I definitely want to see more of her. 

As always, awesome comic, Amber.  Thanks for doing this and sharing it with us!

[Mao]

I'm all about the bunny robot.  I'd love to learn more about her.

[iceick]

You mean like what her name is? I along with a few other people are guessing M.A.C.E., but knowing Amber, it could be anything.

You know, I never DID see the beginning of that series. I watched it from just AFTER he shot a hole in the Moon, up to the final ep. For that matter, I snagged the final ep on VHS when the local video store went under. I always ment to catch the rest of it, but could never find it, sadly. *Sigh* Maybe Netflix will start streeming it soon...

Just make sure you watch it in Japanese, or Vash's voice won't sound nearly as comedic.

Too late. It was on Cartoon Network when I saw it. Still, is there REALLY a way for him to deliver that "Peace and Love" line WITHOUT it being comedic?

[Arcblade]

No.  No there is not.  Especially not with that facial expression.

Mental stability aside, I imagine the roo rat in question would be happy to provide a hug when he wakes up. Or if, perchance, he should start sleepwalking....

Never heard of it til now. And when I try to watch on youtube, some parts are "blocked in your country" for copyright reasons. I hate when they do that by region. Either remove it for everyone or open it for everyone.

The world of licensing and distribution rights hits the world of the internet.  This is why DVD's are also licensed by regions.  The distributors in different countries for the same material have different policies on internet use and the structure of the internet allows this policy to be enforced.

Some years ago, there was a huge outcry about Disney saying that The Lion King had absolutely no connection to Kimba, The White Lion.  I saw an article years later that stated that Disney and the Japanese production company didn't really have a problem.  The problem was that there were legal battles going on over the distribution rights of Kimba, and Disney was terrified of being dragged into the case.
