Actually realized during this page I made a mistake putting Selkie in a green dress. Should have picked a different color so it was clearer she hadn’t changed into her bridesmaid dress yet. Oh well.
-| EDIT |- Next comic will be Thursday, October 18th. Running behind on freelance work today.
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
Yeah the last panel – I forgot that I had been seeing Selkie in green for a week or so, and wondered why sure dress had sleeves while the other two girls didn’t.
Where is Amanda’s barrette? Don’t need no laser beams going off during the wedding.
That is supposed to be HER dress, not SURE dress.
Burn in heck otto korrik.
…I almost looked up the name to find out just what Otto had done.
otto does not deserve capitalization.
I googled and found nothing. Google failed me.
otto korrik is that jerk that will change what you wrote into something else between the time you push enter and the time it appears.
Some people spell it auto correct, for some reason.
Ah, thanks. I love when otto korrik changes something that was proper grammar into improper grammar or to a word that makes absolutely no sense for no good reason. My phone used to be better about that but the past couple of months have been worse.
otto korrik forces you to type some thong you didn’t Nintendo.
Nicely-Nicely Johnson?
Nice to see another Runyon fan.
How exciting!! I hope she’s able to wear makeup. I worry that makeup made for humans may cause an adverse reaction on Selkie.
Considering Selkie’s skin tone, it seems unlikely that they’d use traditional makeup on her, anyway. And if they do have something in her shade, then surely it’s already been tested before now.
Anything black/brown would work (eyeliner, etc) and could maybe find a color that would work for her with lipstick and eyeshadow, since those have a lot of color varieties (including blue and purple) for humans that want striking colors. Blush and foundation would be a lot more difficult but might not be necessary.
… something tells me Andi will not find the makeup that Amanda is wearing to be … acceptable.
Quite right. It’s so uninventive.
…did anyone think to tell Marta about Selkie and putting her hair up?

I think for a special occasion she’d be willing to do it, especially since there has been another year or more of growth since then.
Is Amanda wearing extensions? Based on her ponytail on the 4th, her hair should come to about her shoulder blades at most.
Could just be how high she ties them on her head. Just fiddling with my hair right now, I lose several inches if I do higher up pigtails (straight down is lower back) though the location of the pigtails really changes how much it shortens.
Ah, don’t worry about the dress. Now you can make a “Wait, you haven’t changed yet?” joke 😉
more concerning is green does not go well with periwinkle.
Marta says they are going to put Selkie’s hair “up”.
Remembering back to when she first met Grandma, and Grandma pulled her hair back to braid it, exposing the sides of her head and showing that she has no external ears. She disliked that intensely. She always wears it down and loose, covering the sides of her head. Putting it up would expose the ears again. It’s been close to a year, but do you suppose she has gotten to the point that it would not bother her?
“Putting it up” could also be being used as an expression for doing a dressy hairstyle rather than literally putting it up. Amanda has her hair mostly down when she normally has pigtails. I do wonder if they will curl Selkie’s hair at all.
Selkie probably wore a green dress on purpose since she couldn’t put on the bridesmaid dress at home.
Little miss pretty periwinkle is going to need an entirely different colour palette for her makeup… which may or not be something companies actually make, now that I think of it…
