– Happy Monday! I’ll be at the West Linn Library’s Free Comic Day mini con this Saturday. I’ll be doing a panel on… something. Probably webcomic? Anyway, come by and say hi if you live in Portland!

Money from the Patreon helps me cover both my living expenses and the costs of making Modest Medusa. In other words, direct support through Patreon is what makes Modest Medusa happen!
Dragul sneaks in through the window. “I have you now Medusa.” He exclaims. “Not So Fast” Charles exclaims pulling out a rocket launcher. “Where did you get that?” Dragul asks in shock. “I’m a fish scientist” Charles answers with a smirk and pulls the trigger. “That doesnt make any Sennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnse” Dragul answers as the rocket carries him off into oblivion
Well, there goes Wed’s strip!
Look like Team Dragul’s blasting off agaaaaaaaain!
*ding!*

For a second I was thinking that Modest hadn’t met the pirates, but then I remembered the unicorn fight and, yes, they definitely left her reason to be afraid of them.
And eggplant – {shudder} – she will always fear eggplant.
NOT THE BEES
Hey, wait, I thought she slept in the toilet.
Actually she might be afraid of the toilet now too, knowing what’s through it.
They are pretty gross, after all.
She stopped sleeping in the toilet back before they left for Yeld. It’s been mentioned once or twice.
ahh well, at least she’s not afraid of spiders
They are delicious.
Oh, no! Is she sleeping in the bee room?! I thought you guys were going to tape over those openings!
It’s okay. Leonard took care of the bee room in Part 6.
I know I should probably be more concerned with the fact i now have to find a way to support myself. But it’s 5 pm on a business day anyone i can call is closed so i’ll ask.
Was Dragul and Gorgon’s relationship an homage to Castlevania? I was watching Brentalfloss “What if Castlevania 2 had lyrics” and one of the lines was. “I found your nose, and i got your toes, and your elbows, and your tiny p***s. Oh my god it’s so tiny how did you ever have sex with that snaaaaaake?!”
Ha. I never thought of that. Yeld (and the Prince) have their origin deep in my childhood love of Nintendo games, so Castlevania was probably a big part of that.
So, leave the door open so the bees can get Charles, too.
“Well, if you’re scared of bees, just don’t open the window!… Actually, the bees all died last winter. How do you feel about ghost bees?”
It really sucks to be afraid of your own father in any sense other than, “I messed up and I’m about to get punished.” No child should ever be truly afraid of their parents. I’m just worried that Jake and Charles and possibly even Marah’s mom might begin to resent Modest for Marah’s death. I’m not saying it’s her fault, but if Modest had never come around Marah would (probably if no other crazy events happened) still be alive. However, Modest would then still be stuck in a world where no one cares for her and her parents are monsters. One way or the other, that’s some pretty dark stuff…
That is so heart breaking yet adorable :<
Bees?…
But why?… They don’t bother you, if you don’t bother them. š
Is she allergic?
Bee are cute! And they tickle, too.
I agree. š
Often when children fear things, it is due to their imaginations running wild and not knowing enough to overcome the fear. In Modest’s case, she met many of these; knowing more about these will not actually help her that much.
I was thinking about what happens in a little while:
Jake: So how old are you exactly?
MM: Five, but I have a hatching-day coming up in, I guess, a couple of months.
Jake: So you are going to be six this year.
MM: Yup.
Jake: So I guess i should get you registered for school.
MM: What is school? What do you mean by regi..star..red? Will it hurt?
Jake: School is a place to learn stuff; it can be fun. Registered means that I get you signed up to go to a particular school. And no, registration does not hurt. There will be lots of other kids your age there to, also ready to learn. I wonder if I can register you locally, or will I need to send you to PS238?
Is MM saying “And bees!” or is the bear?
I apologize in advance for the following joke: “Bees, my God.” XD
… I think it’s quite sad hearing a child list a parent along the things s/he fears, especially since we know why ;_;
Interestingly I too have a slightly irational fear of bees.
And the other ones are totally understandable ones, given what happened to her.
