[ Call Waiting ]

Title Text: Believe me, she can handle ANYTHING. I can leave her home for six months and I don't have to worry about her!

Sabrina can handle anything!

As long as she stays in touch with everyone!

Speaking of which, I would figure if an emergency did happen and said emergency was Sabrina, I would figure he'd have a back-up back-up plan. unless that's the punch line in the next comic. =P

What's wrong Sabrina? Just call Sabrina. It's an easy fix.

copper · Post by **copper** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 12:08 am

Geeze, that is a loophole she wished he had thought of.... no other ways to contact him?

I just hope she can convince Jata to hold off until her father comes so he can be part of the wedding and all.

Great dad there Sabrina

Really at this point if Dragon is still around just get her to scare him off its really about all she could do, considering the way Rick set up the laws here.

Ok so Sabrina´s dad is a super cool guy ... like Nathan Drake + Indiana Jones

Also, answering machine got its own tag, nice !

Post by **D-Rock** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 12:10 am

I can understand that. All. Too. Well.

Why no discussion link comment?

Anyhow -

I haven't left her home alone
when she can call me on the phone
She can handle anything, even the tragic,
- y'know I'm pretty sure that my cat's magic?

I work abroad, it's good to travel
a life on the road, trading mud, not gravel
I raid tombs of kings and all sorts of things
and you'd be surprised what treasures that brings

IIf I sometimes act angry to old Jr. Jones
it's because of his stories about giant stones.
My girl will keep the home fires burning bright.
I know my dear Sabrina and she'll always be all right.

Maybe "Discussed without comment" is the comment?

Alternatively, Sabrina just needs more information regarding the specifics of what advantage the marriage itself brings to Jata/Feraga to be able to formulate a plan as to nullify that gain, such that marrying her would give Jata a disadvantage he cant afford.

*Sabrina used phone call.*
It's not very effective.
*phone used answering machine*
The answering machine caused Sabrina to head bang! It's super effective!

I LOVE that shout out to Indiana Jones

Does that mean Indiana Jones and all his adventures are real in the HP universe?

anyway its a funny strip today

Possible, I suppose but they WERE all set in the 1930's so he'd be over 100 now. Unless you're talking of his son from the film that NEVER HAPPENED. If you are? Pass the gun...

No no I meant the REAL one and by the way I kinda liked the film.

Firenze · Post by **Firenze** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 12:53 am

I would really hate having to wait for that entire recording to play through. For the sake of the strip, I think Rick had to cut back on a couple of panels that had more of his options for other random people/institutes.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only being in existence that's willing to give that movie even the slightest amount of slack.

Anyway, I am starting to wonder now if Max is going to be the one to help Sabrina out of this bit trouble. Hm, come to think of it I wonder how his training is going.

Gren · Post by **Gren** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 1:21 am

Hehe, I wonder if the Indiana Jones reference was because of my recurring insistence.

Good to see it's a real thing in HP world!

By the way, I love how Sabrina is unsheathing her claws on third panel. Desperation escalated quickly after that.

But seriously, poor Sabrina. All the doors are just slamming on her face (figuratively). It seems that no one will help her this time. I suppose all of this will depend of Fido from now on.

HundKatzeMaus · Post by **HundKatzeMaus** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 1:37 am

I had a thought, why doesn't Sabrina take Jata to the Zoo and tries to introduce him to a female Leopard?
I think someone from there would glady become a wife of a king and getting out from the zoo

I think that might offend him more than help, seeing a leopard caged in a zoo?

Just remember, zoo animals get vacation too.

Ahhh, to think of all the phone charges Sabrina must be getting right about now.

Sabrina in panel 3: "Maybe nobody will notice if he's gone, maybe nobody will care. What if I just ate him really quick? There's like what, six of them? I'm pretty sure if I dispose of him I won't get into too much trouble. Then again, he's pretty rich, so SOMEONE will notice eventually. But at least then I could still see Fido..."

Yes, that's never been a secret.

JohnWillow · Post by **JohnWillow** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 4:28 am

Even if she married him how would they have children. Hasn't Jata ever heard of Ligers

Hukley · Post by **Hukley** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 4:34 am

Hehe, now I imagine the forced marriage:

*Professor Stanley D'Angelo dash into the church with whip and Indiana Jones costume* : "Paws off my cat, Jerk!"

Poor Sabrina , becoming a "bonking" cat

Ways to get out of this situation with Jata are quickly decreasing ; what will be the next try/option ?

Post by **Render** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 5:21 am

That strip is hilarious and made me laugh a lot while reading. Thanks Rick.

JohnWillow wrote:Even if she married him how would they have children. Hasn't Jata ever heard of Ligers

Ligers are offspring of a male Lion and a female Tiger (the other way around is called Tion or Tigon). So we have a male Leopard and a female Cat here, that would result in cute little Lats or Leats.

But it is really unlikely that there would be any offspring, domestic cats and big cats are to different. (domestic cat/felid hybrids)

Make Jata not born.

Iceheart · Post by **Iceheart** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 6:26 am

This reminds me of season 1 of Supernatural. Sam and Dean kept calling their dad and his voice mail just said "If this is a real emergency, contact my son Dean. He can help."

I wonder if there's a rule in THE GAME that someone allied with one player can't eat and/or otherwise harm a person allied with another player.

Unless he is willing to give everything up to be with her
After all he did defy his fathers wishes so soon after he passed, thats going to tick off the ocals, and he's engaging in a cross spicies marage with a commoner. I'd say he's not to worried about it. And the hint that she wouldn't be living there may mean he'd be applying for us citizenship, and totaly screw the plans of a certain ferret

If nothing else helps, she can still make him never born...

So now we know the name of Sabrina's owner! Which reminds me, I think it's time to update that cast page, Rick!

Also, I think it's great that Sabrina desires to be a 'Friend of all living things' and refuses to physically hurt anyone, but man, someone remind her to quit hurting herself, that looked painful! (Glares at Rick)

Great strip though made me lol

I think fate is against her this time around (perhaps for messing with the spirits too much). I didn't really expect the arc to get this long. XD

Sorry, i didn't make it clear enough that i was referring to the birth defects of Ligers. Also I don't believe, given their size difference that Sabrina is capable of carrying his child, if that's even possible, as it would surely grow too large and kill them both in the process.

I suspect we're going to see a rumble in the jungle between Max and Jata very soon
