Alternate second line for Todd in the last panel: “Poison ivy doesn’t work that way.”
-EDIT- So, I forgot to draw in seatbelts. XD Thanks Gelrir!
Also, I forgot to mention, but this arc is the beginning of Selkie’s use of the winning costume design from earlier. Congratulations again Somogyi!
Thought I'd try for more line width variation, see how it looks. Reminds me of Gunshow.
Aw man. I don’t want Todd to be allergic to Selkie kisses! Little girls need smooches from their family. I hope it down get epi-pen bad.
It’s just a STD.
Selkie Transmitted Dermatology?
Got it in one, Beth.
Heads catching fire and eyes melting? What the hey kinda commercials do they have over there?? : /
@Bunny
Meh. If it’s a mild allergy, it’ll hopefully eventually go away. They tend to, with constant exposure. And if she’ unknowingly envenomating him, the same thing will happen, provided he doesn’t get a large dose before he builds up a resistance.
And if it’s just ‘His face is red and itchy because he’s healing from tiny bite-marks’, well, hopefully it didn’t get infected.
Also, the whole ‘accidental bite’ situation kind of reminds me of ‘Dominic Deegan’s’ Luna Travoria. Hopefully Selkie will also learn to eventually stop accidentally stabbing people with her teeth.
also mild allergy can be controlled with medication and i believe vaccines aswell.
How long has it been since he got the smooches? Cause if it’s been awhile, it’s time to go see a doctor, Todd!
Just a day or two.
Seat belts, people!
Ha ha ha. Seatbelts were in my pencils, I must have forgotten them. >_<
Who knows what kinda commercials they have in wisconsin…
and who wouldn’t want to drive a car with an atari controller????
Rofl, I wondered the same thing!
Uh, I live in Wisconsin.
Most of our commercials aren’t even remotely close to anything like that. But don’t get me wrong, our advertising IS annoying.
If I have to walk past one more god damn abortion billboard I am going to burn down the twin cities.
I suppose you’re getting bombarded with both sides of the issue?
Correct me if I’m wrong, I thought the Twin Cities were in Minnesota….
A quick trip to TvTropes High Octane Nightmare Fuel’s advertising page shows that people have done some wild commercials, including a college one in australia where a guy teleports himself into a clothes rack and dies.
People do get weird ideas.
So he didn´t tell her what caused the rashes? I suppose he doesn´t want Selkie to feel guilty about giving dad a kiss.
And I really want to see that commercial!
I don’t think he’s quite clued in to it himself, yet.
Yes, we Wisconsinites are a crazy bunch. We scare our children into submission with gorerified commercials and use our superior gaming skills to take command of the road and leave the competition in the dust.
Selkie looks so cute!!!!
Who did Selkie’s hair? I don’t think Todd spent enough time around his sister to learn how to do something like that.
Google plus trial and error
Amazing. I use the same method to solve problems at work!
Please tell me you’re not a surgeon…
When did he get the ‘kiss’ on the other side?
At the end of the last arc, when she jumped on his shoulders

Selkie looks so adorable in her new outfit!! X3 I simply can’t wait for her to meet her aunt and uncle… I think she’ll definitely win their hearts over, just like she did her grandparents.
I love how much the art has improved over time, today’s strip looks stellar! Whatever you did differently while drawing, nice!
Hi. Great comic. But where’s the rest of the steering wheel?
Well, you see, when a driver gets -really- angry at other drivers….
It’s actually KITT’s (from Knight Rider), steering wheel/yoke, after KITT had been sold for parts. 😉
Did I miss something? I was under the impression that Todd and Selkie had been together for a few weeks when she started school. Is this the first time she’s kissed him on the cheek?
On another note, the purple blouse and overalls is a great look for Selkie.
I would have liked to see Marigold explaining to Antoine and Marta that “your new niece isn’t… biologically human”.
The artwork today is stellar. Whatever you did new, keep doing it! Selkie’s new outfit is absolutely adorable, so well done to the designer. But I did note that the steering wheel is rather, well, missing in panel 2………. 🙂
The idea of braids is cute, but you might not want to start in the middle of the forehead like that. (It…it looks like she’s wearing a hat or something. I’m sorry!)
Try starting from above her ears. She can have her hair pulled back like that and still keep her bangs, it should look cute. (I’ve seen it work, I wear the style frequently.)
“You’re gonna need an ocean / Of calamine lotion…”
…what??
“You’ll be scratchin’ like a hound / The minute that you start to mess around”
I can’t believe I know that. Why do I know that?
Our band does that song. I’m on lead vocals and drums. I love it!
Reminds me of the commercial with the shaving bunnies and rainbows on fire.
Found the link to your comic via Girls With Slingshots AND I AM IN LOVE. It’s so cute and dorky and Selkie is just the most perfectly adorable weirdchild ever. 😀
I keep wondering if it’s not Selkie, but something Selkie ate? Some people are really allergic to seafood, shellfish in particular. If Selkie gave Todd a smooch after a shrimp sandwich (without the bread), it might explain where the rash came from.
Todd just needs to stock up on the antihistamines…
She had tuna and chicken for breakfast before she gave him the first smooch, and meatballs for lunch before she gave him the second. If it was either of those, it should have come up in the two weeks between the adoption and the first day of school.
