Okay, so, with My Life As A Teenage Squirrel ending on Christmas, with what Rick says on his Twitter is a time skip to Christmas , here are my main questions that I have and am really hoping to get happy answers to at the end of the arc. This all assumes that Marion & Lois will be stuck as anima...

I said in the thread for the prior strip that it’d be nice to see Breel and for Lois and Marion to get to a point where there could be no miscommunications or unclear answers. This definitely looks like what I wanted. Curious to see how Breel reacts; Marion could be right behind Lois, fixing to use ...

So this current arc is going to end on Christmas day IRL with a timeskip, and according to Rick's reply to someone on the tweet that Argent linked, the timeskip is specifically to Christmas in-comic? That's going to be interesting, for sure. Going to put together a post regarding what Rick said and ...

If the plan is for there to be a break and there be more arcs around these two characters, the only conflict point that I feel NEEDS to be resolved for it to feel narratively complete is that Marion and Lois have their new state of normalcy established and the audience needs to at least have some c...

Fixing to head to the gym. Excited to get back into the routine and burn calories off of my late lunch.

Ash Greytree

Ah, so Lois did have her sex swapped after all, rather than this being a situation where all female feral cat types (like Gale) are just buff and that merely rendered Lois more androgynous and confusing to the audience. The silver lining here is, as others have discussed, that Marion isn't alone in ...

A moped is a very wise investment on Poncho’s part; it’s good to see him putting the paycheck he gets for working at the zoo part time to good use. I wonder if Miles has his own scooter, or if he carpools with any fellow teachers? I love Marion’s expression in the third panel. It’s the right combina...

Ash Greytree

Agreed with everyone who says that Keene needs to be investigated and made to come clean. He very clearly has been keeping not only Marion, Marion's family, and Lois in the dark, but also Lana by the looks of it, and she of all people needs to have mission-critical info about potential future transf...

I hypothesized a bit back that your transformation is dictated by stuff about you and your life, etc. Marion had/has a tree nut allergy so him turning into a squirrel would be hilarious in a cosmic irony sort of way.

Ash Greytree

So bobcat is pretty much confirmed. I’m still amazed that I kinda-sorta called it all the way back when she first showed up. I really love the on-phone dialogue here; it reads very naturally, despite it being a convo about her having turned into an animal, and all. Also, Lois seems to be taking her ...

Ash Greytree

I suspect these two are in for more localized, personal hijinks for a while. I'm still hoping to see them somehow integrate into the rest of the cast somehow. Perhaps humans won't come near them for fear of "catching" this transformation so they befriend the local pets and ferals. This is...

Ash Greytree

My first therapy session is today. Even though it's just the first, I'm hoping that it's a productive session rather than centering on introductions and first impressions and what to talk about at future appointments. After that, I plan on buckling down and getting some work done on my classes when ...

Ash Greytree

I've really been loving the facial expressions and poses in these last couple of strips, the second panel in this one especially. Marion looks extremely cute in that one as he leans over to check on Lois. The design Marion gets when the panel is is from far away and you just see his pupils adds that...

Ash Greytree

Loving the expressions on this page. Marion's angry faces, Lois looking down at her paws in what looks like shock (not disbelief, probably, since she seems to have already gotten past the fact that this could happen thanks to Marion), Poncho looking genuinely scared of Marion... excellent work on al...

Ash Greytree

Woke up early today. Going to head out and grab breakfast for a change, then go about my usual class day routine.

Ash Greytree

Doesn’t the coin have be in the human’s hand(s) to take effect, though? I recall that being a stipulation of the curse. Just being able to touch a human with it and transform them seems too easy.

Ash Greytree

I was hoping that she’d turn into a female squirrel, but this is okay too, mainly because I called it! That gave me the thought of Lois transforming into something like a bobcat. A female bobcat with that red bandana that she's wearing right now would actually be a pretty cool design, now that I thi...

Joys: Been getting better. Anti-anxiety meds and other stuff has been helping me get back on track. Got an 85 on my midterm last week and that has me in good spirits. I had a diet soda with caffeine in it earlier today and it's not affecting me, which is nice. Going to stay away from my ADHD meds fo...

Ash Greytree

Ah, and there it is. Thomas wants to sow the seeds of doubt and confusion. Marion’s been shown to have a good head on his shoulders and could very well see through Thomas’ charade. Poncho told him about Pete’s Temple , so Thomas is going to need a good argument to sway our squirrel. Thomas could str...

Ash Greytree

I have a thin comforter for my bed that serves me quite well during the summer months, but it's getting chillier so I need to go grab a thicker comforter that I can switch out when needed.

Ash Greytree

Loving how Marion is drawn with his eyes as plain dots in this strip. With his pose and expression in the fourth panel especially, it gives it this feeling that Marion’s thinking “I can’t believe I’m dealing with this right now.”

Ash Greytree

Hah, it was Marion after all with a nutty arsenal up in the trees! Called it! Glad to see Marion seizing the day and some character agency of his own after all this time. So squirrels biting ears has come up twice now; first in the Waterworks strip and second time in this strip. Is that something th...

Sorrow: It took two days to get over it. <_>

Glad to hear that that cleared up. Hope you can zero in on what caused it to prevent future ones.

Joys: Had my physician appointment earlier this afternoon. Talked with him, told him about the anxiety issues I get in class. It went well. The conclusion that we reached is that, since I have less than a year left before I graduate and step out into the real world, there's likely this subconscious ...

Ash Greytree

Sorrows: I’ve been having these issues with anxiety flare-ups in class this semester. Last Thursday I got it real bad, and my sense of balance/equilibrium has been messed up all this week. I’m able to get out of the house and do stuff just fine, but any major stimulants like caffeine or my ADHD meds...

Ash Greytree

The angle from where the word bubble and rocks/nuts are coming from makes me think it’s Marion doing both the talking and the throwing; imagining the tiny squirrel hurling a coconut down from a tree right into Thomas’ face is just too perfect.

Ash Greytree

Marion will remember this . . . Dangit! I wanted to make the Telltale Games joke! Anyways, yeah, as most people called, Lois used flattery and the power of pets and chin skritches to aid Marion. Poncho was very much just there to tell them they duo to get back to school, rather than to stop them fr...

Ash Greytree

Doctor’s appointment later this afternoon. After that, it’s going to be some classwork and note-taking at home.

Ash Greytree

You’d think that the high school would let them out earlier on the weekend before the school’s finals week. I’m pretty sure my school let us out at 1PM or so during senior year... Anyway, yeah, Lois could very well be smooth-talking Poncho into letting them talk with Thomas. Although, Poncho probabl...

Ash Greytree

I’m very likely reading way too much into the decision to have Marion forego his necklace, but my thoughts on where this could go mainly revolve around Marion losing faith in his ability to function in regular human society or return to his former humanity. I get the feeling that, with how Marion do...

Ash Greytree

Quick thoughts before I head off to sleep: I was thinking Poncho would show up. That could very well be Keene or Lana on the other side of the phone convo. Wonder if they want to help Marion return to human, or if they’re going to try to impede his efforts to find Thomas in order to keep him in the ...

Ash Greytree

Krystal's "Could you not?" expression is great. Awesome work!

Ash Greytree

Joys: Friend had to go to the hospital to get his gallbladder removed and the surgery went very well. Sorrows: Got my flu shot at the doctor today. Started feeling a bit off and light-headed after I got back home. Had a good dinner and that helped clear up the lightheadedness, but I've got a slight ...

Ash Greytree

I remember having moods like that back in high school after something embarrassing happened to me or I had a tough time or got a bad grade in a test in class. Marion’s talking in that fatalistic “well this is my life now” way that people get after their confidence is shattered. He clearly doesn’t me...

Ash Greytree

Lazy Sunday. Probably going to go to the grocery store to grab some things for the coming week, then back home to relax and catch up on some reading.

Ash Greytree

Regarding Kitsune, I have a feeling that he'll show up sometime soon, especially if Marion's going to also be hanging out at the Wolf household. Lana asking Lucretia to treat Marion with respect makes me think that that'll be a frequent stop for him. He could stumble upon the statue one day or King ...

Ash Greytree

Joys: The class I enrolled in has enough people to go ahead now. A 5th person enrolled yesterday, and that was the minimum, but now a 6th person's enrolled today. All that's left now is for a room to be properly assigned for it.

Ash Greytree

In the context of the comics, no thanks. I like my humanity as-is. The only way I’d like to transform into a squirrel is if I get to transform into my fursona; human size and proportions, head of hair and all that intact.

Ash Greytree

Heh, the alt text is a reference to this clip from Arthur. It does seem to be a bit of a double edged sword here. Seems the school rumor mill is buying into Marion being a squirrel, but getting ready to point fingers at the Milton's. Not sure if that complicates Marion's future or the Miltons in gen...

Ash Greytree

Part 4 of Marion's arc is heavily emphasizing the ECP as a plot point and is likely going to be a major focal point of the next bunch of arcs going forward, alongside Marion. Real interested in seeing where this goes. Yeah, like others have said, I don't think Keene would take too kindly to having t...
