Not much in this one. Abel looks so confused in the second to last panel.
The sadface... It's just... D:
...Now I'm starting to understand the logic behind the "Gay for Abel" meme that shook this site to its very foundations, and maybe a bit further down than that, like, down into the substrata.
Amber is insanely good at showing emotion in her characters.
Next comic: "50 years later..."
Abel: "...uh... hello...? Anybody...?"
And it might just be because it's... uh... 6am here (meep), but I'm immensely amused by today's site headline: "Energizer bunny arrested. Charged with Battery." Nice one! xD

I found that one funny, too.
Was he placed in a dry cell?
Abel is so cute, the way Amber draws him. His sad face makes you melt inside. :mowcookie
"There are two great tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want. The other is getting it."
Poor Abel. And it looks like Fa'Lina gave him his emotions back... so I guess he just wants to cry for a while. I wonder if it's a short-range ability on Fa'Lina's part, given that shortly after she left he started crying: alternatively, she just dropped it once she was outside the door.
Those two little tears just kill me. Poor little woobie (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWoobie).
I saw this, and the first thing I thought was how pretty the subtle return of Abel's emotion was in the second to last panel. Then I marveled at the last panel itself. I must be in some twisted mood tonight.
I think Fa'Lina just disappeared from the room and with it let him feel his emotions again.
True enough though being left alone after any significant trauma is certainly one of the steps. It must be solely processed either before or after anything else during the process. It seems there is no right order or time to take for each of the steps, but I believe there is specific set of them.
Much like death and it's own list.
It's a flow irony with a dose of why it must be him?
Some of yall may have melted at that last panel, but me? It just made me want to kill Aniz all that much more. :mwaha
Nice update as always
I never realized how much hair Abel had before, He could stuff a mattress, I'm surprized someone hasn't stepped/pulled on it and snapped his neck like Rapunzel. humor aside... for me the braid in Abel's hair just seems too darn big from the back to match with how thin it is from the side... granted you would expect that much hair to take up 90% of the panel, as it does his backside, but it still looks weird.
I may have noticed the braid before, but not that thick (and how long?).
As for the returned emotions, he's had a chance to think without them for a few minutes, so perhaps their return won't be as hard as they originally were.
Another case of be careful what you ask for.
Fa'lina continues her "I care for you" streak- that is so sweet of her :love2
Poor Abel.. I believe he regrets that he wished for being alone already.

Watt seems likely is that he shorted the bars, escaped on a Megacycle and has gone to ground. Fear not, however; the police have the capacity to locate him and bring him back to earth with a negative potential.

There will be a press release on Faraday.
Awww, his emotions came back. And I've officially switched back to "hug Abel and cry" mode. He's so cute in the last panel...
Ohm my, I appear to have sparked off a cascade of puns here...
...*looks at the voltage jokes*
and THAT is why I love this forum.
Yay I'm so glad for the update (it was abel's side story that got me reading DMFA for real this time). I feel so bad for him, I just hope things work out for him later on in life...and yes I want to cuddle him in that last panel.
Odd wish. If someone had just killed my best friend and threatened my mother I'd want them dead.
Even with emotions taken away, someone that powerful and unstable is dangerous, and should be taken out back and shot for the good of society.

Murder is never the answer. He needs help and rehabilitation.
I'll assume you mean help to rehabilitation. I'll beat him over the head with something until he's unconscious and you can take him to rehab.

I 'erd they send 'im ohm. Oh well, once they get him again if he offers up to much resistance, I guess they can amp up the charges.
Awwww, poor checkers. He looks like he needs a hug right about now. >.> Fa'Lina, back into the room and glomp him, stat!
I didn't remember seeing the bed before and had a sudden idea that Fa'Lina had teleported him instead of herself, kind of like what Aniz did. The bed turns up in p27 though, so it is just her.

As a side note, I noticed abel's shirt is opened from behind. Like if he was wearing it backwards (front-side back)

Yep. Most shirts/upper-body garments for winged beings and creatures are open like that so the wings can go through. Dan's robe is open in the back as well.
As for resisting the gay impulse... giving someone a hug who needs it is not gay, that's just being supportive and a good friend. Hm, someone should draw Jyrras giving Abel a hug.

I think he might just have been saying that he's succumbing to the allure of Abel. Which is not hard :shifty
"Succumbing to the allure of Abel" as you put it, is about as hard to do as breathing, but saying that I gotta ask. Does it mean anything in particular if you don't know your own sexual orientation? :B

No, it's not hard at all. Of course, I must resist succumbing so that I don't get in the way of my OTP. JyrBel forever!

Ooh, good question. Not sure. Offhand, I'd say no, but that's just because it's Abel. Otherwise, no idea. Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful.
*sniffle*
I just want to give him a hug.
*sniffle* Darn you Amber! I didn't want to bring out the kleenex yet! *sniffle*
Abel's actually the reason I started reading the comic again, his seductive capabilities are absolute. Though as a female its a bit hard to go gay for Abel xD. Unless he's hiding something more sinister under his skirt...

Well, not quite, but close enough. Now, the question is, could a lesbian go "straight for Abel?"

Right, forgot that one.
Well that would be rule 36 is it? in action I suppose...though I'd much rather be straight for male abel xD. More thingies of interest in my opinion :P. Or I also don't mind countless men being gay for Abel, as it is hot and can be viewed with popcorn behind a two-way mirror XD
You're all gay. There. Fixed.
I'm guessing that Fa'Lina read Abel's mind (emotionless) and found out what he wanted (Academy-related) and gave him his emotion back. Amber said Fa'Lina doesn't like doing that, so I doubt she would "waste time" waiting for him to actually speak.

<shrug> A person is the sum of their parts. If you take away the part of him that kills, or programme over it with magic, you've killed him anyway. And if you fail then by not taking useful action, then he'll commit murder again and you've helped him. What was your objection again? :rolleyes

The implication from what Fa'Lina is saying is that he
was sane once, but isn't now.
That being the case, curing him, or otherwise having him redeem himself in some way isn't so much killing him (as he is now) so much as restoring him to how he used to be, and how he arguably should be.

As much as I hate Aniz (Dagardo won't kill him. I'll get there first), I think Fa'Lina may have actually been saying that he was borderline crazy, not quite full-blown quackers. Course, I think she also said he's getting harder and harder to predict, so maybe he just went off the deep end.
Either way, he still needs to die.

If Aniz should be sane again, there's is absolutely no guarantee he wouldn't become insane the very next day after after his insanity has been ''cured'', and thus we would be right back to square one.
@Ghostwish.
That all depends which one of us can beat the other more efficiently.
@Jairus
It's okay, thanks for trying. :) But Minishear thinks Amber started the whole gay for Abel thing, which she did, but this picture (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_Bonus015.php) is why he thinks that. And also
I have Dibs on Jyrras (http://missmab.com/Art/Images/Dib_Jyrras.jpg).
I also get the idea we should see Dan in this outfit (http://missmab.com/Art/Images/DDR_Dan.jpg) more often. And for whatever reason Jyrras is happy (http://missmab.com/Art/Images/Jy_Vention.jpg). :)
When we meet Abel in the main storyline he is obviously having fun with the new Cubi ( Dan ) but at the same time he fusses over him like a parent over a child.
I mean he waits outside the room for him to wake up he uses humor and sarcasm to keep Dan from withdrawing into himself and he simple puts everything he has into making Dans adjustment come out ok.
You get a sense of the person from his actions , but until you read Abel's story you dont understand the driving need that he has to keep anyone from suffering as he did.
D'awwwww :(

Not to mention the fact that urination is not caused by liquid intake (but is affected.) It's actually caused by your kidneys filitering your blood. So aslong as cubi have kidneys and a circulation system, I would say- yes. Yes they do.

I don't see any reason for them not to besides Amber.
Yeah, it's a little fuzzy on how someone's physical body acts differently once they become more magically enhanced/based, save for the undead of course. :zombiekun2
Kidney function requires water obviously so at least some intake is also required. If nothing else to replace the amount used, other bodily processes would also require it but that's another lesson.
House and DMFA, the logical meeting the impossible. Glad it's not matter and anti-matter, or we'd get :explosion
At any rate I only want to hug Abel's fluffy tail. I'm a very simple person, GET FLUFFY!
First thing I thought when I read this... "Holy... Abel's got alot of hair" (On his head. The fact that he has fur is totally unrelated.
