Title: 2013/11/08 - [DMFA #1443] ABCD goldfish?

Looks like 'Cubi aren't the only ones with attention deficit problems.  Kria's reaction could be interesting, though - I can see her being impressed that Sherri actually dared shout at her.

She is pretty much right though, that's how she always has been. Though a Goldfish that enjoys killing and murdering and devouring people because she thinks it's her right.

Although, she's possibly the only goldfish to teach certain undead how to function, like they're overgrown kids. Think Sherri knows that?

If you lived as long and lived through as much as Kria has, you're bound to pick up a few quirks.

It sort of reminds me of Nicky really...I wonder soul stealing could be involve in that?

Still, it's interesting what Kria will pick up on and choose to acknowledge or ignore at times. You don't likely live as long as Kria (as a demon) if you aren't (pardon the demon based pun) thick skinned.

I don't think I want to know what it's like when a zombie hurls...   :erk

It seem to me that having her attention bounce elsewhere when someone does something potentially irritating towards her might just be her way of getting along in society. It would certainly reduce the body count.

Or, she could just think of Sherri as a little sheepy kindergardener.  :mowsmile

I wonder if Sherri will ever realize she just did the best thing she could have possibly done.

Kria is used to these kinds of reactions, I'm sure.  
When she first met Jyrras, he had a similar reaction, and not only insulted her, but ..uhm, got physical.  He was similarly afraid, but...

Well, she didn't think much of most beings during that time period. And, Sherri isn't really a being anymore. But, yeah, as time's gone on in the comic, Kria's gotten a bit more comedic, and, maybe not quite as overly sadistic as she was in the earlier strips.

Weird thing to point out, but does Sherri have those rectangular pupils that goats/sheep have? They look kinda rectangular in the second to last panel.

That's adorable.

I dunno, they look like ovals to me.

No, I scrolled backwards to see if she was drawn with them before and no, definitely round/oval.  But I remember wondering why the missing-a-head chimera had hollow square pupils.

Great.  :erk Now my mind is shipping Sheri and Devon. Even though they are unDead and Dev didn't swing that way when he was living if I recall correctly.   'A'

Would this idea you're having happen  to be a big gold fish? With sharp teeth? Chasing all the other little goldfish with a big grin? :U

FWIW, it's unclear if Dev does swing that way - for all we know, he might be a swinger, as it were. And breeding for Undead is a little different - get together and start nomming on someone, and then kill them? It's a bit brutal, there. Almost legendarily so...

Well I suppose Devon could be a swinger, though he seems to be the loyal responsible type to me, even though he's a snark face.  As for the Undead of this wonderfully interesting and potentially dangerous world, I think it's a case of  our zombies are different. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurZombiesAreDifferent) Every one of the Undead we have met was nice except for a certain mad bomber...
