And so, Abel wanders off into the sunset, with Jy Squeak left embarrassed and confused

At first I was asking myself "Why can't Abel just shape-shift some clothes in?" Then again, I suppose trying to shape-shift would be rather hard while experiencing a hang-over that feels like one's head has been "... stuffed full of cotton and broken glass."

Ya gotta give Abel credit... he is very creative.

I must admit... Abel is resourceful.
And I thought that paperclips to scissors was impressive :U

I even gave you guys a good head start... <.< I mean, especially when you considering where i'm chillaxin at the moment. 

Also, what's up with Abel's hatred of a covered midriff?

I guess he doesn't like shirts but does like long sleeves.

I would had named this topic different. [the case of the missing bedsheets]

Nice trick with the bedsheets.

Panel 1 is interesting, though - it looks like Fa'Lina told him he had impending mental issues.  Makes me wonder why she forced him into the outside world, though - if Aniz is anything to go by, insanity isn't (wasn't?) considered much of a defence should he lash out in a moment of insanity.
Maybe she was gambling that Dan would return full-time before Abel broke down...?

It could be that Fa'Lina told him that he would have mental issues if he kept pushing people away and didn't make any friends.  In that case, sending him with Dan would be an attempt to eliminate mental issues.

... *ahem*

He's. Too sexy for a shirt. Too sexy for a shirt so sexy it hurts! :P

Anyways, for some reason he seems very young in the first and third panels. Also, gotta wonder why he chose to make tight pants out of the bedsheets.

How odd that the bedsheets happen to match his overall coloration. I wonder if that'll be the colors of the clan he founds?

Yes, I guess using a bedsheet for clothing is easier if you consider shirts "special occasions only" pices of clothing.

Also, Jyrras' remarkably cheery smile in the last panel. Coincidence?

Welcome back Amber .. and Abel ! :)

Once again, it seems his creative side is not to be suppressed.
I wonder what other ways he has for that ?
We know he likes to decorate interiors and make clothes.
Maybe he's an outstanding sculptor as well ?

Noooo... there's clearly a perfectly reasoneable in-world explanation for this. Like midriffchlorians or something.

It's hard to make a shirt that fits well when you have wings?

I'd say it's Amber's personal preference myself...Less she has to draw  ;)


As for the 'inevitable crack' mentioned in the first panel, perhaps it's something inherent to members of Siar's clan, or more to the point, children of Aniz? Fa'Lina herself had made mention of his own instability/ unpredictability when Abel first came to SAIA..Very curious indeed  :batman

I never thought I would ever see so much and such effective use of Home Ec as I have in this arc.

Abel would totally kick tail on Project Runway.  If he wasn't dying to finish his training of Dan and get back to SAIA, he could easily open up a clothing store next to Matilda's place and make some mad loot.
And I understand about the Wheel of Car Repair.  It's like, "Let's see what repair we'll need this month!  ...  Brakes.  Always lovely."

Quite a good job for a 'Cubi.

That'd actually be pretty hilarious to watch when someone would walk in the door...

Lets face facts, if Abel spent all day reading his customers minds he would go on a killing spree from the brain numbing he would get. :mowcookie

But doing fashion design would most likely fit his fun bill.  He might also make a great restaurateur.  There is a lot that Abel could do in the world if he really wanted to get on with his life and leave SAIA.

The actual URL is a string of charcters that a wepage can have in place of ( ), wiki-codeing just redirects you to the prooper page.

I'm sorry? Which RFC were you referring to that disallows () in a URL? I don't recall that restriction...

RFC 3986. (wikipedia)

Though I admit that those RFCs seem a little outdated or at least only applicable in theory. Apparently space chars aren't even allowed if they are percent-encoded, which evidently doesn't have much to do with real world URLs.
