Hmmm… Now I’m imagining a framing device where each comic page is presented as a picture of the page while it is still in the process of being made, with hands and/or pens and such being included… The obvious extension of this idea would be tears on the page during certain sections… maybe blood…
Probably something like: “Ugh, they’re such idiots. Everyone knows that two species can’t have kids together” or something like that.
Well, if Amanda knows that much about biology. She might still be on ‘storks’.
Actually, it surprises me that it’s Selkie bringing that up. You’d think she’d be the one that knows about the basics of allotropes and genetic differences and stuff, considering her mad science enthusiasm.
Keisha said “get married and ADOPT a bunch of kids”. Selkie agreed with her. No genetic compatibility required. Also, in some cases, different species can produce hybrids, which are usually sterile. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genetic_hybrids
I was hoping (against the reality) that Opus was right. Of course it’s Mandy, and she KNOWS what’s up because she’s reading today’s comic online. You can see her head breaking the bottom and right side edges. Tres Artistique! Dave’s art is just so much fun! Well done, Dude!
We’ve only had one other character this removed from the panels, and they started throwing dialogue directly at Dave (in the S&K spinoff a while ago)
I hope for everybody’s sake this doesn’t imply some connection between Amanda & the aforementioned character (and I know Pohl had some minor panel/gutter interactions that one time, but that was more style and a bit of “echos are kinda science-magic” and less “this character is literally deadpooling some 4th wall breaks”)
Anyway, if there is an Amanda/Lucy connection, it’ll be one hell of a twist.
A bit of background : my roommates kid when he was about 5-6 ish, was over at a (somewhat christian oriented) daycare and they wanted to show the SpongeBob show and he didn’t want to watch it so he stood up and yelled that “Spongebob is the Devil!”… my roommate got a call from the daycare in the middle of her work hours about that one… we all thought it was hilarious…
I love how Selkie and Kiesha just don’t care that George and Te Fahn are different species. They know this, they’re aware, but it doesn’t stop them from doing normal kid things like trying to get two other kids that like each other to hook up.
This is actually a big deal in more ways than one. This is potentially interspecies romance. And the intentions are all pure. And this is exactly what that Saronthi dictator doesn’t want. And no one here realizes this.
For the sake of strengthening Human & Saronthi societal bonds, and potentially throwing a wrench in the plans of that dictator, George and Te Fahn’s relationship needs to be cultivated! Matchmaking for World Peace!
not if you adopt them (which is Keisha’s immediate suggestion not because she’s thinking of reproductive incompatibility, but because the possibility of being adopted is a constant presence in the back of her mind).
Is that Dave’s head obscuring the corner of the last panel like Norman Rockwell’s self portrait?
No dude, that’s Amanda.
If that was me it’d be a giant blurry peach-colored thumb.

Uh oh, what’s Amanda thinking?

Uh oh. Amanda looks ominous. I’ll bet someone is jealous cus they weren’t at the party and missed out on the bonding

Worse, Amanda is stepping right back in from the 4th wall.
Dang.
Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch…
…and bring honor to us all!
…wait

I mean I now some people like to say Amanda is The Devil, but…
A devil she is not.
A brat that needs to be putted at her place, she is sometimes.
nah… SPONGEBOB is the Devil!!!…

It’s really not that big of a deal, humans can and have been attracted to everything – from weird monsters to inanimate objects.
Green humans with yellow eyes is nothing. 😀
Green skin and yellow eyes? I believe it was said best when it was said; “I get stranger things than you in my breakfast cereal.”
Aren’t you forgetting about Agent Brown and his wife and step-son?
Nah I didn’t forget about them.
I’m just talking about kids doing this.
Amanda is literally out of the picture here (had to check wether I got this idiom right)
Uhhh actually having more kids make world hunger worse…
But they wouldn’t be having kids, they’d be adopting. 🙂
not if you adopt them (which is Keisha’s immediate suggestion not because she’s thinking of reproductive incompatibility, but because the possibility of being adopted is a constant presence in the back of her mind).
Blarch- didn’t even notice the ‘adopt’ thing- thought they said “have lots of kids”. My previous comments are null at this point.
Man, I just misread EVERYTHING on this page.
I AM feeling better about this evil plot to end world hunger now…
