Ooh boy, Lorenda ish een trouble here. She gave the OK for Wildy to write Jyrras into that book. Then again, Jyrras isn't in for a good time either.


*edit- added the date to the title- Dam*

It's been so long since the comic has been up that I no longer remember what Jy-Jy's talking about. :B

Seriously, what is the stuffed bear he's referring to?

Yeah. D: I see no stuffed bear in the other comics.

...Is he talking about Abel or Dan or something? D:

What was that about a stuffed bear?

Anyway, Lorenda had better enjoy tonight while it lasts. She'll have a loooot of 'splaining to do tomorrow. ...unless she hides the book and simply never tells Jyrras, but only a moron would do that. *Patiently waits for the next update, which will likely involve Lorenda, her copy of the book, and a colony of wigu-bookworms*

What stuffed b-... ahhh, thanks Netami!

Other than that: Yay, comic! (Maybe slap a date on the thread, though...)
Good to see that Jyrras didn't push matters with Wildy much further and that he still sees her as one of his best friends. That's reassuring in an arc filled with conflict and confrontations. :)

Come to think of it, Jyrras really got tossed from one messed-up situation to the next ^^;

Am I just slow, or is Lorenda looking spiffier in this strip?  Her horns seem more prominent, her nose has a more blended in tone to her fur, and her hair is more curly now.

Post by: ITOS on August 21, 2006, 05:21:40 AM
Yay, back on track! :D

Although I don't remember when Jy-Jy lost the bear. Checking the archives he doesn't seem to carry it (or any bag) except when he comes out of the store (633). He is then holding a green bag, a similar bag is later seen in the hands of Abel.

Maybe Abel has the bear?

[EDIT]
More unnecessary backtracking: Another green bag can be seen on Abel's right side in comic 655. Seems like the handels on this one are more like the one that Jyrras had but it is also darker.

After that I can't find any traces of the bear or any green bags.

*puts on a Sherlock Holmes hat and takes out a magnifier*

This is a most disturbing case. Where can the bear have gone to? :paranoid

FWIW, his last appearance is in the left hand side of panel 1 in 655.

After that, Abel appears to have magically hidden his various shopping bags. Or something.

That bag seems both larger and darker than the bag Jyrras was carrying...  :paranoid

The one on the left, not the right. Of the middle panel, there, I mean.

But yes, it still looks darker and larger. I just figured from 639, Jyrras has it in his left hand, then in 642, there's only the two bags on the table. Which suggests that Jyrras' bag is inside one of the other two - that green one, mayhaps?

After that, Abel collects those bags off the table in 645, but might well have misplaced them in 649... since he isn't apparently carrying them in 652, when next we see him. In fact, the next time we see any of the bags is in 652, as you've shown in your middle panel, where we have a light green and a dark green - I suggest the light green is the earlier light green, and the dark green is from the bookstore. And the brown one, seen in 656.2, would be on the other side, behind Jyrras' head. Although in 657, it magically vanishes.

I note in 663 Jy-Jy has a brown carrier bag, which suggests that he may have the bear in there, and leaves it at Wildy's....

*cough* Why yes, I do have too much spare time on my hands.

Excellent observation, Watson!

But that raises the question, where did he get that bag from? There was a brown bag on the table in 642 but... Abel has a brown bag too so now we have three green bags and two brown.

I think its clear what happened. Abel knows the Hidden weapons technique and the bags are made from magical soybeans, unlike the conventional soybeans used to make most Grocery bags, which gives them the ability to change color at random.

654 had the "You Scry You Buy" policy from the bookstore, so the darker green bag might be Abel's copy of the book.
