she does look creepy when she is angry :B
Boy, fae seem to be thin-skinned.
Also, do I detect a hint of Rankin-Bass in the second panel? (example (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t102/superluser/molly2.jpg). It's definitely the nose.)

if this goes on he gets more jewelry then mr. T
Maybe she'll just pull his mouth off.
Your dimensional standards? That implies other dimensional standards, or more notably, a humanish dimensional standard (since what she's implying that the other Fae we've seen (other than molestog?) follows the "being" dimensional standard).
Probley a close connection to our world probley...Not like Jy is not in deep enough trouble >:]
Your suicidal tendencies are making you look more and more like Coke, Jyrras.
Coke: Except it's more of my overacceptance of the ladies that does me in.

*Peeks his head out from the lurkers cave* Gonna put on the cape and play captain obvious here but man oh man does Jy have a way with the laaaadies.
Got a feeling some crap is gonna hit the fan and we'll find out what's with the bracelets soon.
Hasn't Jy heard of white lies ? :)
I'm guessing the past week has burned out his ability to lie (and use tact)
In the last week or so he's
• Learned he's going to get another brother or sister (And imagined how it came about)
• Told a friend about his crush on him to devastating emotion effect
• Developed another crush
• Been written in a trashy spy novel and perhaps lost a friend.
• Been physically and perhaps mental mental scarred by a fae couple
He'd probably be justified in locking himself in his lab for a few years, surrounded by weapons and guards, if only to protect him from his own opinions.

Aye, I'm so glad i'm not the only one who thought this. Puns they hurt ever so X_x
something tells me this Amber is having a little fun with human myths and the lot.
For Jyrras standards who has not seen many humans, does not understand the look and takes much at face value. For a human she is a little on the creepy/unusual side.
When Dan was a human he looked very much similar to his normal self but way cooler with the feathered wings. Not to mention as far as we know all his human patches are of the 'white man' variety.

No, I think Dan would simply
be white if he was a human (see strip 204 (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_204.php)). I don't think the patch determined his ethnic origin.
Jy suffers from chronic foot in mouth disease :P

Objection!

*Charles notes* Jyrras is even worse than I am when it comes to making females with power very angry at him. I mean sure Charline rips me to pieces every few days... but she does that regardless what I say. :<
*Charline snerks* Perhaps the roo rat would actually be better off in my tummy. Then at least he wouldn't have to worry about offending anyone else! >:3

That is so cool! Human-Realm Fairy! Makes me wonder though, is this new girl the only one of her kind there, or do others tend to adopt the standards of the DMFA-Realm? If she is the only one, did she get stuck there?
And poor Miss Amber, I hate it when that happens. Get Well Soon!
Poor Jy. When does he curl up itn oa ball and just start chanting -bad day- -bad day- -bad day- .. or I guess bad week/month by now.

Good Touch, Bad Touch, Very Good Touch.
the glowing white wrist bands of magic will turn Jyrras into a girl like nutmeg, or something more or less dramatic during the light of the full moon/natural sunlight/ after dark. There my speculation as revealed and thus ruined Amber's plot, and hopefully averted such a tragedy from occurring.
Quick we need more wild speculation to ruin any chance she has to come up with an original Idea by next update.
Mysterious human-fae has an awesome big nose. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT APPROVAL.

Yay~ Jyrras as a girl!
and starring:
Samuel L. Jackson as the voice of Jyrras,
Oprah Winfrey as Lorenda,
Whoopi Goldberg as the voice of the black fae woman!
(well, we don't know her name yet).
*Charles* My only spec is that fae must not be able to have babies with beings like Cubi can, since they must recycle their own souls. Thus the Cubi race can increase in size while the Fae remain the same in number. Thus, the Fae must rely on a trick to get more Fae! They must steal creatures from a dimension where magic doesn't apply and convert them into Fae as they're crossing beteen dimensions! Thus, they can take advantage of the fact that in the other dimension, there's no law that prevents them from doing it, thus they can do it by default! And the dimension they steal from? OURS! :U
*Charline :rolleyes * That is one stupid spec... There's no way in a billion years that could be true! ;)

Given his current string of luck he'd likely just give you nausea and indigestion..
Jyrras' foot-in-mouth disease DOES help explain his lack of a partner despite his uber-cuteness.
I could see any date ending in a faux-pas with him.

Of course not.
We encourage him as a matter of course. Being fast just means he's got a better survival rate than he otherwise might.
People claim that engineers don't get along well with people because they don't really understand people. (Personally, I think the problem is that engineers do understand other people, which is why they can't stand them.) I think Jyrras is supposed to represent the absent-minded professor/engineer/scientist sterotype. Of course, if you remember the potion created in The Nutty Professor, Jyrras might be able to create a patch that has the same effect. Can you imagine cute little Jyrras walking around with the personality of Dean Martin. No woman would ever feel safe again.
I was looking at the scene where Jyrras gets the bracelets (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_805.php) again and came up with a possibility. Could it be that the bracelets could end up turning Jyrras into an empath, capable of feeling other's emotions. Could the "despair, misery, and regret" that he will be feeling be the emotions of others.
By the way, somebody mentioned the possibility of a patch that would help with Lorenda's wings. It could be that if they were pushed out once, Lorenda wouldn't need the patch to keep them in their normal condition. Could the misery and despair that he will feel be that of Lorenda over her wings? Could the regrets be over not paying attention to other people earlier? Just throwing out a few possibilities.
However, I have a feeling that Amber will switch back to the Dan/Abel storyline just as this one starts getting good.
Most likely on that last count.
Just because she's Amber.
or as soon as zonic the hedge fae shows up to confuse the readers further.
And that's really a bad thing? >:3
I say bring on the bliss! :U
