I agree, they need to show off. Not because “haha grandparent faces go brrrrrr” but because nobody, and I mean nobody, can guilt trip a little girl into keep quiet about laser eyes than a Grandma.
They’re already planning to intentionally break their “promises” because mom and dad and Uncle Government told them. But if GRANDMA tells them..
Cue Stan Freberg with a recording of “John and Marsha”. Several years. later, Shakey’s Pizza had someone change the names for an advert to Shakey and Pizza, but kept the flavo{u}r the same. I always conflate these with Jim and Henny Backus’ “Delicious”, possibly because it sounds a lot like the above-mentioned Freberg work
Shakey’s Pizza triviata: the first was on Jay Street not far from the entrance to Sacramento State Kollitch; a friend who later was chair of the French department at San Francisco State lived in the upstairs flat. Since it closed and the building went away, the site now houses a Friends meeting house.
Considering the history behind Selkie and her people and the broadcast of that weapon, Todd’s Mother is being awfully condescending.
Oh, yeah, we got aliens living at the bottom of a lake in Michigan, they have gills, can breathe water and are mostly strict carnivores. But god forbid they have the force.
Hah, the old “tell the truth while others think you are making sarcasm or kid fantasies” gig. Clark Kent would be proud.
Selkie, Amanda, please show it. I think Todd’s family need to understand that they now are just like Jonathan and Martha…

Reminds me of Buffy telling her mother straight to her face about saving the world from bloodthirsty vampires every day.
“… Honestly sometimes I have no idea what is going through your head, Buffy.”

Oh crap… I figured out what’s about to happen I think. NO GRANDPA! DO NOT NOOGIE THE AMANDA! I REPEAT, DO NOT NOOGIE THE AMANDA!!!
First panel, second speech bubble, you need a space between ‘to’ and ‘keep’.
Also, ‘cultural’ is misspelled in the second panel
Dunno if you can even edit these now, Dave, but the typos are still there.
Heck
I like that glee-hee-hee giggle Selkie does.
I like the bluff-through-truth thing too. It suits her.
I guess it doesn’t count as breaking an NDA if nobody believes you?
