Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
This is so awesome. I won't lie. That second panel. Marion is so over this entire thing and Lois finally lost her mind. She kept calm for so long then snapped.
Keene kinda deserves it in that last panel but if he dies then they won't get their answers.

Wow. And I thought Breel's survival instincts were bad.

Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
This played out more or less as expected. Just not sure what Breel is doing while this is going on. I expect still baking cookies.
I wonder if Poncho stuck around and is about to pull Lois off Keene. Also, good grip for Marion to stay on her shoulder.

Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
Let's all be honest, after all the carp Keene has pulled over the years, we expected this day would come. The fact that Sabrina hasn't done this yet is surprising. Tarot surprisingly close that one time.

Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
This is honestly the best strip I've ever seen. If Lois threaten to eat Keene, well it would make Keene wet his pants, so to speak. XD
Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
Looking back over this page, it really highlights how good Rick is at expressions. You can tell Keenes terror, Marion's smugness and Lois's rage, as well as Keens turn to trying to talk his way out of a situation he doesn't yet understand.
Just perfectly done

Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
Keene speaking before he thinks,
but one can understand his confusion.
Someone just crashed him to the floor;
the poor guy may have a contusion.
Lois wants an explanation right now
or, maybe, she just wants some blood?
You better be truthful with her, friend,
or it’s not your tears that will flood…
Just a thought about things from here
and how they get on an even keel;
this is sort of Keene’s wish, that’s true
but, in that mana? That was Breel...

Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
The expressions here are so good. Keene has a wonderful mix of confusion and terror in panel 1, it's nice to see Marion so confident, and we can add Keene to the list of characters with stroke faces (Sabrina, Fido, Maxwell, Sabrina #2, and now Keene)
They might still get their answers, they'll just have to wait for him to haunt the Earth again.fenrirblack wrote:Keene kinda deserves it in that last panel but if he dies then they won't get their answers.

Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
I wonder if she's been a in a fight before. She has shown to have violent tendencies. She body slammed Marion and threatened to throw him off a bridge. There is some serious rage issues bubbling beneath the surface that need to be examined before Keene dies.

I can't help thinking about this in Inigo's voice...
"My name is Marion Ward-toya. You tf'ed my girlfriend. Prepare to die."
Geez, what the heck's going on here?
You've got Keene all full of fear,
Lois, calm down, kitty kitty,
Just use your head! You've got to be witty!
Keene, you're trapped, it's over, you're done,
But wait, hold a sec, he says it's not fun
Being blamed for something that he didn't do,
But if it wasn't him, I wonder, then who?
My bet is on Lana having planned the deed,
She's the ECP connection, we know she's full of greed,
So what happens next is yet to be told,
But one thing's for sure, Lois's glare is cold.

Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
I'm wondering if Breel accidentally did it when he was in the temple 'pool'?
Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
I'm inclined to say that—at least as of yet—this might be the best strip I have seen as well. It's certainly up there amongst my favourites already. Yeah, no doubt in my mind Keene would "wet his pants" if Lois were to give such a threatChar89Charizard wrote:This is honestly the best strip I've ever seen.

Also, anyone else think that Keene looks absolutely adorable—even moreso than usual? The third and fourth panels are cute and hilarious; I simply adore Keene's troubling expressions. I also like Marion's smugness in the second panel—such confidence!
I'm also curious to see how Breel will react to all this, and whether or not Poncho is still present o:

Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
I think it’s safe to say Lois still loves Marion.
But—and I know Lois wouldn’t care, much less understand, but—how would that make Breel feel after giving up Heaven to be with him?Gameb18oy wrote:... welp, Keene, looks like you're getting another trip to heaven

Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
Yeesh, Marion and Lois, let's all start breaking out the interrogation tactics already, huh?
Though to be fair, Keene just had to say 'traded species'.
And i liked that fourth panel myself. x3

Especially proud of this one...
Keene has justly earned a rep for scheming
Moving others’ lives around the chessboard
He’s learned some lessons, but was surely dreaming
If complacency he thought he could afford
Thomas wasted no time whatsoever
Following up the chance that he had seen
A dromedary persuasive and clever
That camel would go miles to smoke a Keene
Putting trays of cookies in for baking
Has put on hold Breel’s husbandly devotion
Suddenly Keene finds his throat is aching
All choked up with Lois’s emotion
On bobcat instincts Lois now is juiced
Keene’s chickens have at last come home to roost
Moving others’ lives around the chessboard

Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
It's also a bit of Keene getting comeuppance for years of scheming. He's been behind so many things that he's either gotten away with or been able to get away with with only a slap on the wrist that seeing him in peril is weirdly satisfying. Even if, for once, I don't think he's as involved as Marion and Lois think. If he was, I doubt that he'd have been home baking cookies.OctoDoggo wrote:I also liked this comic way more than I probably should of.

Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
I'm wondering whether Lois is just having an angry moment or, as I proposed in my sonnet, her new hunting cat instincts are getting the better of her.
Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
I lean toward thinking that it's a bit of both. We know that Marion had some squirrly instincts right off the bat (climbing the tree while in a blind panic) so I think she has lost it a bit.Robotech_Master wrote:I'm wondering whether Lois is just having an angry moment or, as I proposed in my sonnet, her new hunting cat instincts are getting the better of her.
I suspect she might even feel bad about this later, or perhaps a touch confused.

Re: 2019/11/20 - The New Model
Lois is really angry... It's better for you if you don't speak more, Keene. And yeah, you're missing too much and not figuring out... Anyway, don't break already his neck, Lois, otherwise we can't know anything from him. Reserve your anger for later. The ECP isn't going much well for Marion so far, and he together with Lois need urgent explains about why became what they're now...

Keene had better choose his next words that he is gonna say very carefully unless he wants an angry woman turned male bobcat to start tossing him around like a ragdoll.

Not that Keene isn't prone to paw-in-mouth, but I think if he even had the slightest inkling this was Lois that he'd have said things more carefully. For that matter, I wonder if he'd even met her as a human. We certainly didn't see it in the comic, but Keene wouldn't have had to have met her to be aware of her.

They probably met when Marion was being inducted into the ECP.
