Hehehe, their expressions in that last panel keep making me giggle :3
I could actually go for a cupcake myself right now :mowcookie
On another note, anyone else get the feeling Fa'Lina came so early for another reason, or reasons? Perhaps to give Abel a little talk of what's going to happen? Or maybe she plans on surprising Pyroduck >:3
It doesn't take two hours to just enjoy a cupcake or two... or does it?
You mean besides meeting the Loving stepdaughter of one of her retired professors and her (maybe) future Daughter-in-Law??? :mowmeep
Also, is it me or is Fa'Lina looking extra buoyant today? :mowcookie (So I'm a letch, sue me)
The art on today's strip is wonderful Amber (as usual) :mowninja
squeeeeeee we get to see falina again! :3c
Aha! Now that is how to make an entrance! Also Falina clearly knows the best use of her foresight skill...CUPCAKES!
I hope Alexsi wasn't planning on giving those out to guests at the inn...
I wonder if Fa'lina had a plan A or if she just skipped strait to plan B.

I think this would kind of be like plan B, subsection A: Muffins, unless Red Velvet happens to be available :)
And "Dahlings!"...Am I the only one who read that in Zsa-zsa's voice?
Yay! It's Lady Fa'Lina of the Incredible Bosom! She certainly knows how to make a Grand Entrance. :-) I didn't expect to see her until Dan got to SAIA. But of course, she had to show up for Abel's muffins. (Abel's been a busy boy. Organizing the bottles behind the bar, and baking muffins.) Her expression in the last panel is hilarious. Her hands make it even more so.
On a slightly more serious note (D-flat), I wonder how long it's been since Abel had absolutely nothing to do. He's been at SAIA for almost four centuries, taking classes that whole time. Now he's at Lost Lake, as the night-shift innkeeper. There wouldn't be much to do except clean the place and wait for customers. (And bake cupcakes?)
I do wonder why Fa'Lina's here, though. It can't be just for Abel's marbled red velvet cupcakes, no matter how delectable. Can it?
I like the warp-aci greet in the background.
Back at SAIA he had entertaining classes like grass-growing if I remember correctly. Having nothing to do is just a matter of perspective with classes like that.
Are the cupcakes the only thing Fa'Lina is there for though? Abel wanted to talk to her anyway so what better way to do that then over freshly baked cupcakes?
It seems Fi and Fu are happy to see each other as well.

I've lost track of how long Abel has been away. It may be that Fa'lina is still able to see his future - it's hard to say if her prediction of Dan's arrival is based on her foresight of him (Dan), his arrival at the academy or his proximity to Abel. Or indeed, if Dan was in her care long enough for her to get a lock on him.
EDIT: Or to summarise, she may have forseen that he needs to talk to her.
I am most certain that (besides the cupcakes) Fa'Lina is there either for: Pyroduck dating Alexsi or because of Abel's dreams; either way I'm looking forward to either one. However, if she does both I will be greatly pleased! :>
Of course, I'm more curious if Fa'Lina will talk to Dan about him representing his clan; before they leave for SAIA or once they get there... :.
I mean if she knows about him being late, then she's definitely aware that he will attending the upcoming gathering! :U Squeee!

EDIT: Oh, absolutely
LOVE Fa'Lina's face in the last panel! :love3 I'd be making the same exact face, if I were in that situation.
I would totally show up at a place hours ahead of time for red velvet cupcakes
then like a sneaky little cubi I'd steal all the cuppycakes and use a warp aci to get out of there
Fa'Lina. Forever and always awesome. :>
Right, lets see .... first off, I don't think she more "boyant" than usual, just that the bigger comic lets us see her better in all her glory !!
Also, her old dress (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_025.php) covered her shoulders as well, making the focus on her breasts less obvious.
Secondly, even if she doesn't have Abel in her foresight, she probably still know one or two things about scrying on him using "regular" magic. Heck, what with him being pseudo family, she might have gained an almost clan like bond with him ... meaning he might never get away from her meddling influence ! And her puppets !
Thirdly, while she could definately be there to do all that serious talking thingy (ew), but maybe she's just there to say hello ?
I mean, why not have a little visit before she have to do all that tedious school work and the meet 'n' greet ?
Could be she also wants to know how Dan has been doing, so she can put him in the classes that fits him best ?
Really, it could just be a social call. :)
And finally ... OMG SHE IS FRIGGIN HILARIOUS IN THE LAST PANEL !!!!
I just love her when she's in "fun-mode", much luv for that.
:D

Aaaah, Fa'Lina the Fabulous, how we have missed thee.
And yes, Amber is definitely improving on the 'draw bosomy wimmins' front... front. Not only has she gotten better and drawing Fa'Lina 'Bigger', but at drawing her in a way that.. well. Fa'Lina in the first panel of course isn't any 'bigger' than she's ever been, she just makes the Immmpression of bigness because of how she presents herself, and the Fa'Lina Bosom, Large and in Charge. A Double-E Matron happy with and confident in her body, her appearance and herself and damn the naysayers.
Such a wonderfully refreshing sight, neither 'empty' fanservice nor strictly Gag-Boobs nor, "I have boobies, hear me angst." as is so often the more popular portrayal of the embossomed. :mwaha

Amber, I love how your mind works. =^-^=
Words are useless! Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble!
They cannot express the excitement I feel for Fa'lina's antics.
I bet Abel had to defend his baked treats from that one cubi in home classes and from Fa'lina. I wonder if it was a common gag to announce that Abel was making tasty treats over the intercom? >:3

I thought she was coming because Amber said so a few strips back, implying that Abel just made a phone call to the school and said Dan is coming for a month and Fa'Lina just decided to pick him up rather then send a different Cubi to escort him. The cupcakes were just... icing on the cake.

First panel - EPIC. Adding Fa'lina to any comic makes it 100% more epic, she's like a super fun aunt.
Fa'lina's like an 8 year old girl who's hit puberty way too early xD
EDIT: Only after reading that after posting did I realise how pervy and just generally wrong that sounds xD didn't mean it like like that
Kria and Fa'lina seem to share a lot of the same charcter traits in personality. The real difference is Fa'lina seems to be less touchy then Kria.
Her gradual loss of seeing the future might be dependant on how predictable the events that come to pass. A thing like baking cupcakes might be routine enough for Her to be Abel to tell for several years what he has baking in the oven.

Well Dan had started to get partially involved with Matilda before he went to the academy. So maybe she foresaw their budding relationship and the delay. I don't think Dan has been away from the academy long enough for Fa'lina to lose total foresight with Dan and Abel. Her visits might have also extended her time keeping an eye on them both
YAY SHE'S BACK!
Also, what are those cupcakes marbled with? What tastes good with red velvet?

Black Velvet? I mean the last time I had red velvet I asked what the heck red velvet was and they said it was red chocolate so if he was just looking to marble it for effect and not touch the taste then that could work.
Though if he really wanted it to stand out colour wise he could take a yellow butter cake. mmmmm cake.
It's a good thing that Fa'Lina (AKA Harpy) is a cubi, anyone else with that figure and bust would have broken their back years ago.
Fa'Lina is one of the most difficult to understand at times, then moments like this come around where her actions are explainable.
Is her Dan's not showing up for 2 hours meaning to SAIA? Or did we just skip that whole part? And Abel is so cute!

Do Cubi have super strong backbones, or does she use shapeshifting to add some extra support for her bust?
Anyway, that's not what intrigues me the most about Fa'Lina: her fur is. Is it naturally that way (short and white, with pink fluffy ear tips)? Does she trim it? Is it shapeshifted? Will I ever know?
In any case, cupcakes are a good excuse for an early arrival, and I really liked the Warp Acis greeting each other in the background.
Heh. Something about Fa'Lina's behavior and disposition in this comic wants me to give her a 'hello!' hug. :mowmeep
I'd like to see her meet more of the gang. I don't think she's met Alexsi except for the brief encounter in comic 481 (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_481.php), she hasn't met Lorenda...
I'm also liking the Warp-Aci in panel 2. Fu is also cute in panel 1. :mowhappy

It can sometimes appear swirly, but really it refers to mixing two different cake mixtures together; but not fully blended together, so you can taste both cake mixtures clearly. Here's (http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r18/tintin2828/IMG_2870copy.jpg) some (http://www.cake-recipes-and-decorating-ideas.com/image-files/pumpkin-cheese-cake-recipe.jpg) examples...

I think you'll find it's something like this: Fa'Lina has arrived to take Dan into SAIA, but Dan has not yet returned to the inn following his visit to Matilda where he told her he was going away. Fa'Lina has apparently foreseen the time of his arrival but turned up early anyway, possibly to talk to Abel first.

Seeing how it is already the following morning/day he really didn't leave soon ;P
What he is doing these last two hours before arriving is a bigger question. He could be visiting some other friends to say goodbye, having some after-snuggling with Matilda or it is just the time he takes to travel from her place to Lost Lake.
He stopped off for an Egg McMuffin as there won't be a McDonalds on campus as all SAIA students get free food plans so no profit for them.

As a matter of fact, Fa'Lina's assets are probably natural, as per her complaining in this comic. (http://missmab.com/Comics/Ab_025.php)
I presume her fur is just naturally that way also, but as she's a Triwing, she can probably will it to do whatever she wants.
Fur and hair in Amber's world can do interesting things. Abel's hair, for instance, will always have brown ends. If he cuts it, the new ends automatically turn brown. This is mentioned in his cast page (http://missmab.com/Cast/abel.php), under Quick/Fun Facts. Given that, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Fa'Lina's fur just grows that way.

Damn, not fast enough. I was going to suggest this link. Here (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Zsa-zsa) (Sorry)
Interestingly, the biggest differences I see in Fa'Lina is actually that her eartufts seems to have received a trim, and she's gotten herself a new summerdress.
Well, that and the general "bigger format" upgrade, that all characters gets when Amber can post her comic with more details on it.
Still, she's definately channeling Zsa Zsa with her "Dahlings", and I'm still getting a good laugh out of that last frame. :)

Since she's a poodle, I assume that she would have to trim it/use shape shifting... I imagine though that she uses shape shifting to keep everything in place. It would be so tedious to have to trim your whole body X_x Least she doesn't do what the extreme poodle people do and randomly shape her fluff to make herself look like a vegetable or a ninja turtle.

Fa'Lina is one of the most difficult to understand at times, then moments like this come around where her actions are explainable.
I always find these sort of comments about big boobs breaking someone's back (even in RL) very annoying and ignorant about how the body works and its strength (regardless of the fact that she's a Cubi). The honest truth is that Fa'Lina's bust is fairly big, but something that big is not heavy enough to affect the spine.
People who say these things more than likely never pay attention to the world around them. There are women much more busty than Fa'Lina and usually have no problem with their back (of course those with a sore back aren't keeping their core (back and stomach muscles) strong).
Truth, certain excercises can alliveieate back problems immensely to the point of removing the problem alltogether, as I understand it.
It's not the weight of large breasts which causes back problems, at least not directly. The weight of large breasts encourages slouching and generally bad posture, which in turn causes back problems. Proper exercise (including upper-body weight training) can make it easier to avoid the temptation to slouch.

Proper exercise (including upper-body weight training) can make it easier to avoid the temptation to slouch.
This is true as well. I have heard of women who slouch on purpose (most likely not consciously) to make them appear smaller due to how the US typically perceives large breasts (and peer pressure from Hollywood saying thin is beautiful).
