Pointy objects and people who talk with their hands don't go together. Trust me on this.
(edit: fixed the number...)
Knives and that section of a males body do not go together... trust me on this.
(Except on Abel, then it's comedy gold)
It's the cutting edge of mad genius :B
Abel shapeshifted that skirt. Shouldn't it bleed? And shouldn't Abel then faint? And then fall on the floor in front of Jyrras wearing only a mini-skirt with a large slash in it ... yeah, I'll just ... yeah.
Even if it was shape-shifted, I don't imagine Abel would make his clothes out of flesh. I'm not sure if he can feel the pain, but I don't think shapeshifted cloth needs a blood flow....? Not sure.

If it's made of wing, it might not... Anyway, this strip did make me smile.
I love how Jyrras's mind patterns go on... it's so realistic
This is interesting to reread:

I think it's safe to say that he didn't use his wings. Maybe he used hair/fur?
Ha I love how his tail comes up to his defense. The cut isn't massive or anything. Maybe only the tip of his wings got a small scratch?

Earlier the insectis mentioned that he made his wings smaller to create the skirt. But the hair/fur thing is an interesting idea.
Wings are the strongest part of a 'cubi. When in doubt, armor plate! I doubt that portion was wing, though, considering the fact that it actually cut rather than just sorta bouncing off.
Maybe it's a magical knife :3
Abel + (Jyrras + dangerous swinging of sharp object)^(Jyrras' one track mind) = Comedy Gold
This strip made me laugh :P
Good update as always.
Hey Abel.
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'RE JEWISH. :menorah

Addendum:
In the third and fourth panel, Abel was prepared to defend his modesty.
Or, as Florence Ambrose put it...
http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff400/fv00364.htm
Wow, looks like Abel was almost the victim of an accidental disem-ball-ing! *ba-dum-dum!* :giggle
I don't know if that's a proper way to get your boyfriend's clothes off, Jy-Jy...
... actually, I don't want to hear the answer to that.
Okay, Jyrras has official snapped from stress. Next thing you know, he'll have built an army of DB-class Deathbots and sent them out to destroy the homes of all paparazzi in the land. I think he needs a nice long rest in a padded room. Or... um... I dunno. I'd like to avoid Abel smacking some sense into him, that might not end well.
I'm also wondering what Mab's reaction will be to her "solution" to keep Jy safe, if she realizes how stressed he's gotten. Jy's never exactly been on for the spotlight, after all.

The strip before that one mentioned hair to clothing having been covered in a previous lesson...
Wow.
Just...wow.
:erk
Maybe that tall Robot has been hiding from Jyras.
Whatever the case, I think Abel needs to get the knife away and keep him away from heavy machinery till he gets some rest.
"cast sleep Abel." :eager
But maybe it would be wise to get the knife away from Jyras first.

So Jyrras just gave Abel a haircut? A very
personal haircut, mind.
obviously that is a +1 Vorpal Dagger, and either Jyrras hasn't critted, or Able made his fort save.

He might not have been paying attention at that point.
Maybe the slit in the skirt was done by shapeshifting the body parts quickly away from the knife. Another possibility is that he shapeshifted some fur into a bandaid. However, we always knew that Jyrras was really sharp.
Well, it certainly seems like Abel used his wings to make his skirt/shorts/whatever it's called, according to chicki (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1135.php).
As for Jyrrass, instead of a mental breakdown, maybe he just wanted to try something new ?
It's just a though - Not everything has to be highstrung drama or crazy hijinks !

I mean, they
fall asleep really fast ... :sweatdrop
Able came *that* close to being 90% more feminine.
I imagine it's just a scratch on the wing. Spottycat should be able to deal with that sort of injury no problem.
More proof that Abel only pretends to be evil, true evil would have killed or maimed Jyrras for the cut.
Considering Abel's extensive knowledge base one would say that Jyrras has someone who can fix up his bad haircut.
Side note Abel is pretty agile, has fast reflexes and can balance pretty good.

At this point, I'd recommend Abel taking at least three steps back. People that flail with knives are dangerous. Even to Creatures. Also, Jyrras just would have to cut that particular piece of clothing. Commence awkward situation!

Speaking of doubt, I don't think Abel was expecting to find a crazed, knife wielding Jyrras...And armor plating in that area, while now obviously useful, would have just ruined it for the rest of us :mowwink

Never mind that, mind the paparazzi.
Having just heard the Cubi she just met scream "OH SWEET GODS NO!", Chicki throws caution to the winds and performs her own breaking and entering.
Abel passes out and sprawls. Jyrras tosses the knife away and rushes to his aid.
Chicki walks in on a shot that features a tousle-haired, disheveled, agitated Jyrras, attempting to revive a nude incubi.
You thought Jy-squeak was the stuff of legends BEFORE, but to be the one standing after an "encounter" with a Cubi...
(especially if the general public doesn't know there's Cubi for every emotion. Classically, well, all Cubi are Nact'larn, to put it in our language.)
...That sounds...plausable. And awsome.
Edit: How much of Abels... loincloth DID Jyrras cut? We don't see how much.
how much insanity can we take? well, we are already insane (least i am) so.. i guess that a passed out incubi from unmentionable damage wouldnt be too bad. :zombiekun2
I sense a disturbance in the force, as though thousands of rabid fangirls held their breath, hoping for a glimpse of the divine in the final panel, only to have those hopes quashed...
I am reminded of a certain bawdy song concerning the Jewish rite which was referenced earlier... but that is most definitely not suitable for all audiences...

I think many comedians have hit on this one.
Mom Logic at its best. After all, it doesn't take much to figure out that chances are your clean underwear won't still be clean after surviving a near-death experience, and any experienced emergency room doctor will have seen a lot worse. Hey, if you arrive in an ambulance and your underwear and your skin are still distinguishable...
On the other hand, it's hard to say "wear clean underwear because it's embarrassing when you walk around reeking because you choose to wear rancid Underoos."

Not only that, but the "victim" is totally trying to seduce the seducer.
I'd imagine that this is a subconscious effort on Ambaargh's part to make her characters less manly.. :U
...and embarrassing comedy may yet happen, come to think of it. If Abel is bleeding but just doesn't realize it yet, he will soon. You know, when he feels himself bleeding onto his hands.
Abel raises hands, sees blood on his hands, panics. Start entertainment.
Double it when Jyrras runs for the medical kit, and Chicki comes around just in time to see Jyrras trying to help as Abel goes into a catatonic conniption: rule one of puncture wound first aid being "with sterile gauze, APPLY PRESSURE". More so as Jyrras fumbles around attempting to find the puncture, not suspecting that the "skirt" is what's bleeding.

Any Cubi worth their salt is not going to make their shapeshifted outfit out of something painful like their nervous system. If you want to go into a total technical, the reason Abel wears thigh-high boots and a tiny skirt isn't necessarily one of fashion so much practicality. The legs themselves can just have a "tight leather" exterier (remove the fur, harden the skin, change the texture, shazam) which means all the fur that would be there can be used as a means of forming the rest. And Abel isn't dumb enough to leave the skirt part (which would be the most susceptible to tears and rips) made of something that would ouch later. So no, Jyrras didn't end up causing any injuries. If he managed to carve a piece out of the skirt, it would probably transform back into a patch of hair. But since its still attached, no issue.
I'm just amazed that Jyrras somehow managed to cut through Abel's loincloth without damaging any vital organs in the process.
Also, if he keeps that haircut any longer, I'm turning in my Jyrras fanclub membership card. *heartbroken*
Oh dear, It seems as if Jyrras has finally lost it.
Or at the very least, close to losing it...

hmm, i guess grinding wheel + some polishing works well enough.
Especially since the material was stretched - that makes it real easy.
"Look! We just sliced through a cubi's wing... yet the blade is still sharp enough to slice a tomato!"
(Yeah I know that the skirt/kilt/whatever isn't Abel's wing, but it makes for a better joke.)
Edit: yeah also, I dont think Jyrras cut that much fabric. Abel seems more like he's trying to protect himself rather than cover anything up.
