Heh... Jy's pretty embarassed. the eye-size-factor tells it all. Also, I kinda spontaneously thought this little bit of garbage up while looking at it...

Quiz: Of these 4 seen here, Who currently has the biggest urge to kill?

A) Dan, he's a nut.
B) Jyrras... I dunno why.
C) Abel, just look at that face!
D) Lorenda. That grin can't mean anything good.
E) These cute fuzzy critters don't have anything against each other, they're just playing :3

Jyrras looks about ready to pass out.
Dan doesn't know what to make of the situation.
Abel looks about to combust in cubi rage.
Lorenda looks like she's eyeballing the menu.

No, see what it is is that Jyrras walked under the mistletoe while Lorenda was breaking up a fight between Dan and Abel. And Lorenda, being a huge fan of the mistletoe tradition, bounded over, forgetting she had two captives who would then be caught under the mistletoe along side her.

This strip is awesome.  Turnsky has made me want to make some limericks about this, but I'm no good with Trochees, and it's far too late to come up with anything good in dactylic hexameter.

(I have found a proof/Of Fermat's conjecture, but/Haiku is too short.)

Post by: Madmann135 on December 25, 2006, 12:06:51 AM
the emotions are all across the radar.
Dan - surprised
Jyrras - emotional confusion due to the fact that the three he has a degree of crushes on are all around him
Abel - RAGE!
Lorenda - Holliday CHEER!


Jyrras must have some sort of rescuewer love syndrome.  Dan saved him from his sisters the first time they met.  Lorenda saved Jyrras from 2 preditors, though she was the super preditor at the time.  Abel saved Jyrras from a lot of embarassment by giving him a psychic blocker.

Also I don't care what anyone says... That pic belongs in the PRICELESS category.

- Having a demon cow living with you, but is a part time lab assistant profit of $500 a month.
- Having your long time friend in the room, $200 in damages.
- having a nice guy who helped you out in the past with you $0
- being surrounded by the people you love... PRICELESS.
- For all things money can't buy there's Mad-Scientist Card.

i kinda expected lor to be big on the holiday spirit of things, but the look in her left eye does not comfort me...thats a 'look who is comming to dinner' look

dan and abe are fully expected expressions of embarrasment and feigned apprehension....but jyrras is blatantly obviously thinking "fourway, fourway, fourway, must, not, fourway, embarras, fourway, self, on camera, fourway fourway"


QuoteTheese men were *rubies* completely *rubies* insane! Not only *rubies* were they going off *rubies* to the middle fo nowhere to *rubies* get them all *rubies* killed *rubies* in verry horrible *rubies* ways but they wanted to record *rubies* the stupidity leading up *rubies* to thier doom.

*Wallpaper'D!*

This works well on "Center" setting because it's like a picture but with a very large white frame. I love Abel's and Jyrra's expressions, especially considering the latest story developments.

I'm sorry about this, but Lorenda's expression scares the begeebers outta me! She's looks like a aunt ready to pounce and pinch the cheeks of unsuspecting younger relatives. If you know what I mean...  :<

Great job, Amber! Please make this a real wallpaper at least!  :3

OK.  Here's the promised poetry (in a sonnet of alliterative dactylic hexameter, no less)

Keep in your mind on this Christmas a kangaroo-rat known as Jyrras.
Love for this rodent is never a needlessly simple procedure.     
Three have found ways to his heart before he put his love on the table.
Dan learnt the nature of Jyrras's love when the rat missed his iris.
As for Lorenda, she knows that his amorous feelings aren't meager.
Finally, one has no clue of his feelings and that one is Abel.

This Christmas, under the kissing plant, there was a fortunate meeting.
Jyrras was taken in thought when his three loves came, mindless of fashion.
Demon Lorenda took note of the novelty plant on the ceiling.
Quickly, she closed on the men who were quietly shirking the greeting.
Jyrras and Abel and Dan were not jumping to join in the passion.
Soon, though, the hearts of the quartet were quickened to Christmas time feeling.

Demon Lorenda's hug quickly was detailed in poems of such lore.
Please don't assume that the following practices showed passions that much more.


(Bah.  I couldn't use mistletoe in line 7, since it would alliterate with meeting.  Also, I do realize that this is a rather prosaic poem, but I've just invented a new poetic form, whaddya want?)

Dan: She's not the one I want under the mistletoe.

Lorenda: Three nice and cute guys what else can I ask for.

Good work on the comic, Amber. I hope you had a great holiday and that your comic goes on for years to come. I know we all enjoy reading it as much as you enjoy making it and you know what they say; There is a fine line between genious and insanity..And you cross that line every other day! ;) Your comic is the high point of my Mon/Weds/Fri (and Saturday) mornings and I usually think about it while I am at work so I have something to chuckle about. This will probably embarress or make you flee in terror of 'teh praise' but it takes a really sharp mind to think up funny comics three or four times a week. Keep up the good work. :boogie

Poor, poor Jyrras. I would feel extremely bad for him if I weren't laughing my keister off at Abel's expression.
