– Modest Medusa Patreon Month continues! Your support through Patreon helps me pay my bills and keep making comics. My goal this month is to get my Patreon to the $1100 mark, which will make a huge difference in my monthly finances and allow me to spend much more time creating comics. If you enjoy Modest Medusa and want to see more comics from me please consider becoming a patron. Even a dollar a month really helps! You can check out my Patreon here.
– Speaking of Patreon, here the Febuary sticker of the month for Patreon backers! I’ve been wanting to draw Modest as a Pokemon trainer forever, but I couldn’t figure out who she should dress as. May? Misty? Nope. She’s a member of Team Rocket of course!
She’s surrounded by stranger-kids, but perhaps Ekans will chance upon her and save Modest?
=D
Oh my god, aside from knowing that a lot of us have been there (or at least felt like it), that is just too cute of a last panel.
Uh oh. Keep her away from the kids! Middle school is very cruel. ;w;
STARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!
Boy, that brings back a lot of scary memories…
There’s no comments… that’s odd. Usually by the time I get here there’s a tonne… Anyway, is it just me or does the puffy jacket and mittens make Modest look even more adorable than normal?
All comments are pending approval (I approve everything except for duplicate comments and spam). I’m in late today so I’m just now getting to it. You’re about 7th in line.
That teacher looks super angry.
Poor Modest
I think this is the first time I’ve even seen her get embarrassed.
Usually you have to talk with the school office staff first to get registered, then you get to talk with the teacher. Mind you, to the best of my knowledge, the school where I teach has not registered a non-human before. That could be fun.
Of course, as a high school science teacher, 1) I would not be teaching her for a few years and 2) I would want to explore her biology; how does she live?! I know human biology, but extra-dimensional Medusa biology would be a fascinating study. Of course, this would be extremely strong evidence for the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Strange… I always thought teenaged boys were “non-humans”.
Oh, they are human, but they can be very strange ones. Some of them even get homework done and do well on tests, but many are quite distractable, especially by the non-male students. It might be surprising how much jumping around a 48 year old man has to do to try to keep their attention about, what is to me, such an exciting avenue of exploration.
Word of advice: Exploring the biology of your students could get you in loads of trouble! 😮
Anyhow, so far people have been very accepting of Modest! She’ll thrive in school, even if she gets lousy grades…
“May snake ate my homework! This one *points* did it!”
I agree. There are certain explorations that could end with no end of problems for me. For example, I am not allowed to use my students as the subjects for dissection labs. I have get worms and dead pigs and things like that Electrical labs can not use students as conductors.
sooooooo cuuuute!
Kid: So do your snakes EAT people?!
Modest: No.
Another kid: Then what do they eat?
Modest: Ummm?
Yet another kid: Hey! My chocodile!
Aww poor modest. No really, poor modest, I know how cruel kids can be when you are even the tiniest bit different. Given how they treat other kids with glasses how will they respond to blue skin, a tail instead of legs, and snake hair.
don’t enroll her in school. kids are mean
I envision her yelling “GO EKANS” then jumping on someone and tickling them.
Modest used Tickle, it’s super effective…
Serious Jake is scary. And serious.
Will Medusa have to go school, so much adventure, but much more mundane than last season. Or is it?
Wait and see. We’re on a more mundane arc right now, but I have plans.
Oh please don’t bully her please don’t bully her please don’t bully her…..
So is Modest finally being enrolled in school? How old is she anyways?
Is modest being…SHY?!?
Team Rockets Rockin’ . . . I love Jake he is such an awesome character!
Is it bad that I think Modest looks so adorable in the last fram?
Sorry, frame, I can spell, I promise.
Oh my gosh, she’s all shy and blushing! How adorable!
Fun Fact: Seven students (and one teacher) tripped over Modest’s tail while she and Jake were walking down the hall.
I’ve been reading this comic for the last two days, and I’ve got to say, I love your art style. No heavy lines and instead it has a very natural look to it. Moreover, Medusa’s behavior is spot-on for a five-year-old and very adorable. I look forward to seeing where you go with this story.
Thanks!
No paperwork to get her signed up for school?
I can see this leading to her taking a group of kids to Yeld and that segue-ing into an advertizement for a role playing game.
Poor Modest! Jake could have handled this a lot better. I guess he gets a pass because he’s single, he’s a guy and presumably he’s never been responsible for caring for a kid before.
Damn good comic writing!
Is that ekans’s mom?
Jake said “Don’t talk to anyone,” not “don’t bite anyone.” Was that an oversight… or deliberate?
– “Let’s give it a few more minutes, Mr. Richmond. I really want those bullies and hair-pullers to thin themselves out properly!”
>:=)>
I love the look of Modest’s snakes/hair in the last two panels.
On the one hand, they look like big curls.
On the other, they’re in a defensive pattern around Modest! ^^ Though it’d be a terrible shame for the kids, I can just see the snakes start to lash out if Modest starts to feel any more anxious than she already is.
… this is too adorable, I can feel my teeth hurting 🙂
Kids can be really cruel 🙁
