– I was sick all weekend. I’m still sick. it sucks. I was hoping to use the weekend to get caught up on work. Or at least start catching up. Right now it seems like I can’t get ahead no matter what. Hopefully this week will be better.
– The ebay auction for the Pirate captain and Mermaid art ends Tuesday morning. Money from the auction goes directly toward shipping out books from my last Kickstarter. You can check out the auction here.
ooooh… does that mean she’s maturing early? yikes.
Maybe Front Right Snake will end up being the dominant snake once Modest eventually withers away.
Well, the snakes on the right side seem as confused as she was!
Hope you get well soon, man! 🙂
Nevermind the snake is getting more intelligent and dangerous, did it eat the pen?
HA! Her snakes are smarter than she is.
It begins…
Get well soon. Actually, make that: I hope you feel better soon. Take your time.
I’d rather a late comic than an unhappy Jake.
Uh-oh…
Someone’s been watching Schoolhouse Rock! whilst a CERTAIN SOMEONE ELSE was putzing around on her DS.
her hair is out doing her all the time! she needs to have a one on six conversation about that with them…
Sneaky Snake stole her literacy now.
Headcanon: that particular snake stays up all night reading while Modest and the other snakes sleep. It’s the only time its master sits still long enough to read.
I get this is suppose to be kinda funny, but when i see this all i remember terrible fact that part of her species life cycle include the snakes get bigger and smarter, while the girl we have come to care for will disappear….
Oh my gawd.
Oh my gawd.
Oh. My. Gawd.
Her snakes… Her mom…
It begins!
Ah, tis the season for flu. Hope you get well soon!
lengthy plotline where Medusa’s snakes start making their hyper-intelligence and plans for world domination apparent, GO.
Or not.
Am I the first to comment?! Happy Thanksgiving everyone in a few days.
That is probably not a good sign.
Everyone is freaking out, and while I do not keep up with the comment section… are we sure she even CAN mature to big snake mode in the human world?
All I am saying- human kids grow fangs and horns in freakin’ Narnia. We know it doesn’t work in reverse (teeth guy), but you could argue that the air there is filled with Vitamin Monster. We know little about Medusa biology other than growth and reproduction in their natural habitat. Even seeing projections of humans growing on the moon can end up being weird (and tall, but with weak bones)
We don’t know, but conversely, she doesn’t seem to know either. Which means she is apt to be terrified by the thought of her snakes getting smarter. This strip is kinda genius, balancing a cute joke with deeper and more troubling what ifs. 10/10!
Hopefully that means her snakes will end up smarter and more likely to help people then her mum.
What if a Snake Oracle is like a mutant version of a medusa created through negativity and magic while normal Medusae {who survive mom} grow up to be like the medusa of legend except snake hair venom instead of Basilisk gaze?
wait….does she have 3 snakes now? i thought she had more?
She still has 4. One or two are often hanging limply behind her. If you look closely, you can see part of the 4th one in the 1st panel.
Modest: Okay, smartypants – gimme another word for “dead”!
Snake (writes): Expired. Deceased. Departed. Late-
Modest: *grabs Snake* That’ll do!!
>:=)>
Should we be worried that her snakes are apparently garnering intelligence?
Isn’t this how it went downhill for her mum?
Modests Mom seemed in her teens at least. Chocodiles cause early Puberty! *puts on tinfoil hat*
