I decided this arc was a good time to revisit something from past strips that I’ve been meaning to use again for a long long while.
Everyone, I am pleased to introduce… the return of the Dinosaur Dress. :3
Selkie final word balloon almost said "Because I's hungry", but something felt wrong about Selkie wanting to eat a pony.
Oh dear, Selkie, do mind your manners. It’s not polite to say such things in front of your hosts.
Hopefully she’ll be distracted enough by the non-veganized roast, and things will go well….
get the meat ready
Heh, they know Mike’s Vegan, but do they have anything Selkie can eat?vv
Dave said that the visit to the grandparents was on Tuesday and that this dinner takes place on Friday. Todd had three days in which to tell Ken and Barb “my daughter has a bunch of food allergies and physiologically NEEDS meat”.
I trust Dave to write something better than “oops, we forgot to make anything that you can eat, Selkie”.
Heehee. I love the Dino dress. Reminds me of a dress I used to wear when I was little. And curse them for their lack in ponies >:(
I wonder how that veganized roast turned out…
Oh I dunno…Selkie probably had heard the phrase “hungry enough to eat a horse” at least a few times.
Statement of fact Selkie! How can they be rich if they don’t own a pony?
Rich in material possessions, but not in spirit. But then we pretty much already knew that, I think.
…because they don´t have spirit ponies? 🙂
I dunno. The parents seem okay. Slightly clueless, but trying hard.
Now I’m really hoping with fingers crossed that SOMEONE in the Fairweather household has remembered Selkie only eats meat. 🙁
wait, a quick question; Is seasoning or marinade a big nono for Selkie or would she be able to take it? most spices are plants after all…
and no selkie, do not eat the ponies, the hooves and fur will give you tummy ache
If it’s light seasoning and eaten with meat it can slip through her digestive system without incident, however she wouldn’t care much for the taste in the first place.
I love that most parents would tell their children it isn’t nice to point out that sort of thing… Todd’s just like, “Yeah, pretty much!”
The child has a point.
From the last strip’s comment – “She stole the clothes off another kid’s back” – it appears that everyone is still under the assumption that Heather jumped her, held her down and physically stripped the shirt off.
Seems like sometime in the last week or so, in her own defense, Heather would have said, “That’s not what happened. The shirt was hanging over the door of the stall”. Which, of course, would lead to, “Why did she have to take her shirt off to use the toilet?”
Did Heather know she had to take her shirt off? Or was she just following on the chance of “getting even with her”, since it was “Selkie’s fault” that Heather was out of the dodgeball game?
And yes, it would probably have been wrong for her to want to eat a pony, but that’s what popped into my mind when she asked about them.
“I gets to eats your ponys, then we´re evens.” would have been a possible resolution for this, wouldn´t it? 😉
Oh Celestia, I can TOTALLY see that!
Discord might be more appropriate than Celestia under the circumstances, but either way My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic rocks.
“Anyone seen Twilight?”
“Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry we didn’t make any meat for you, dear!”
“That’s Okays Misses Fairweathers. I’ll just eats this.”
XD
Selkie has the attitude of many nomadic peoples: true wealth is measured in what you ride and eat, not surface trappings like cars and buildings…
The standard I’ve always liked best, also practiced by some nomadic peoples, is the measuring of true wealth in how much you give away.
But don’t you ride in cars?
That dress is freakin ADORABLE.
I HAVE LOVED THAT DRESS SINCE THE MOMENT I FIRST SAW IT. *Squee* It’s so dinosaur-y and colorful and fun. Glad it has returned!
Yeah, I’d have worn a dress like that.
I LOVE the dinosaur dress! That is all. 🙂
Nice to see the rashes have finally cleared up.
I want Selkies’ wardrobe :3
I like the way the first panel is drawn.
I just checked Amazon, they have a lot of dinosaur dresses but none are as nice as Selkie’s.
