Re: Things you finally noticed on rereading

Just now realized, and I'm not sure how I missed it before, that they are actively talking about manipulating the magic behind metamorphosis to be able to change species at will, in the last few strips. I didn't realize they had that, and certainly not that it was something the average character mig...

Re: What is the deal with the hatred on Bino?

To give a different answer, it might be because Bino is such a one-dimensional character. He's funny and fun and good for pushing amusing plots along, but at the end of the day, he doesn't really have any sort of character traits beyond a fragile-egoed narcissism. Even the racism other people have p...

Any word on when Rick's going to pick this back up? Has he said anything, like that he's thinking of putting another quick arc together, or that he's putting it down for the next year at least?

I think an interesting question is raised here, because Tarot is like this independent adult and Peanut is like her boytoy who seemingly hasn't entirely matured to that point. Tarot has a full on career, and may even apply for citizenship... ...so where does this leave her relationship with Peanut? ...
