Title Text: though I am curious what it would be like to have a proboscis

Some things can't be denied, Lois.

[Gbr23]

"It could always be worse, you could have turned into a camel."

Or a squirrel

[fenrirblack]

Props for Lois for still handling this like a pro.

As far as Kafka goes, I can give Marion a list of books and stories WAY more us useful se types of situations than The Metamorphosis.

Poor Poncho still looks so out of place.

I take it his lit teacher was NOT Mr. Porter.

[Welsh Halfwit]

It could have been worse is what he’s saying
as he sees her tail there, gently swaying
and his little mind starts sneakily playing;
admitting a small truth to the Wolf.
Poncho doesn’t know what a ‘Kafka’ is
but he knows Lois is probably ‘the biz’
and the fact she’s got a guy’s a swizz;
He may have wanted to hunt her.
Lana’s trying to look on the bright side;
she’s always found that beauty applied
helps people on to an easier ride;
even when they have a fur coat.
And the kid’s view of anatomy shows.
You always had one, mate, it was your nose.

OK, now we have in comic confirmation of bobcat status. Until proven otherwise, I'll assume cute means still female.

And what question did Lana ask her that got the response, "I don't have any of that"?

[Nobody]

*In Russian accent* EVERYONE! WE MUST SPECULATE WILDLY!

I think Lana was asking if Lois had any curly fries.

[fenrirblack]

I feel like at this point there is going to be a wall covered in selfies of the people who were transformed somewhere in Milton Manor at this rate.

And what question did Lana ask her that got the response, "I don't have any of that"?

I’m going with “Did you see what happened?” And “Did you touch anything strange?”

Lana’s next question should be “Do you need me to call your parents?”

Maybe, but neither statement works grammatically. Maybe "did you get pictures of it happening?"

[Dissension]

Given the immediate follow-up "I'm a... bobcat? I think," I'd have assumed Lana was asking if she had, like, gills or wings or huge antlers or whatever.

[D-Rock]

I've seen media where women use it to refer to males, too. Feel like that would have been the first thing brought up, though.

I'll take this.

[Champion Wallace]

Even if it's compliantly beside the point, it's still undeniable that Lois looks cute.

As far as Kafka goes, I can give Marion a list of books and stories WAY more us useful se types of situations than The Metamorphosis.

It's not that it's all around very useful, but Metamorphosis let's him know how good they have it from the perspective of how much worse it would be.

[fenrirblack]

I'll take this.

That does seem like the most logical choice. If this is becoming more of an epidemic then that would be an appropriate and useful question to ask whenever this occurs so they can begin to draft the paperwork. Not to mention make any necessary accommodations. It’s Like going to the doctor.

Also good prep for the general surrealness about the hole situation.

Hm, in HP, did the giant cockroach talk?

I mean... I'm a guy and I describe a whole lot of guys, gals, various animals, and inanimate objects as cute. I daresay use of that word does not, in and of itself, confer additional meaning beyond cuteness.

Example: Fenrir's fursona is really cute. I would hold his hand-paw and give him walkies in the cemetery anytime.

[Champion Wallace]

In HP bugs are like our bugs, so I don't think the story would be too different if at all.

Or other additional 'bits'?

[Amazee Dayzee]

Replying to Diss, you would have to get in line. I might call first dibs.

On second thought, you can have Fen, I want Rocky. XD

[D-Rock]

Aaaaaaaaaaaand we're done.

[fenrirblack]

I’m actually more curious about what poncho said to Lana when he called,

Poncho: Yeah it’s me. It happened again. This time it was Marion’s girlfriend. No, she’s with me and Marion. I didn’t see what happened. Hang on, let me hand the phone to her and you can ask her yourself.
(For the life of me I couldn’t think of a way to make this funny)

Aww, thanks.

[Dissension]

like... white feathers, a second head, beaks, and dozens of dead, milky eyes?

Let's go with those.

[NHWestoN]

Not helping, Lana, not helping!

[Keldor]

"Lois was always a bit of a tom boy. Now she's a tomcat."

Sorry. Had to.

[Dissension]

I can't help but feel you've confused Marion and Lois, sorry.

[Keldor]

I can't help but feel you've confused Marion and Lois, sorry.

Whoops! Yup. >.<

[Argent]

"Lois was always a bit of a tom boy. Now she's a tomcat."

Sorry. Had to.

Rick already did that one in the "what gender is grape" arc.

[Jixstun]

Lana asking the important questions I see.

“No, I am not available to pose for a “Cute Kitties” calendar!”

[SeanWolf]

"It could always be worse, you could have turned into a camel."

Or a squirrel

Or a mouse.
Same time, have to admit: She is cute as a bobcat!

[dr_eirik]

It's the tail.

I wonder if we are going to see some jealousy from Marion down the line.

[Macsen]

I wonder if we are going to see some jealousy from Marion down the line.

We already have.

[Nobody]

Also good prep for the general surrealness about the hole situation.

I've got a hole situation in my roof thanks to some nasty hail we had recently. Ain't nothing surreal about that.

[Frank]

Yes Marion. You really should. How lucky that you should've been at exactly that point in the curriculum.

"It could always be worse, you could have turned into a camel."

Or a squirrel

How is a squirrel worse? She and Marion would be literally made for each other!

what question did Lana ask her that got the response, "I don't have any of that"?

It would be reasonable to ask "Do you have nausea? Rashes? Any other complication from your recent transformation?"

Lana’s next question should be “Do you need me to call your parents?”

This makes me think Lana's question could have been "Do you still have your phone? Clothes? Backpack?"

[Vertigo Fox]

IT'S THE LIT TEACHER!
It's all his/her/its fault.

I saw Kafka's grave last year when I visited Europe.
And then I hid it on an album cover...

I flew into the airport once.

I actually visited his house in Prague back in1990. Either he was short or his ideas came from whacking his head on beams.

Yeah, by the time you finish the meds list, medical history, and insurance details, you've lapsed into a coma and they can deal with you at their leisure....

[Vertigo Fox]

Now I may just be obtuse, but I don't have time to go back through the archviles and I'm trying and failing to remember who Lana is...

[SeanWolf]

The female Milton ferret.

[Gameb18oy]

If it never gets addressed, we can likely assume nothing changed for her and Lois just has better luck compared to her boyfriend. Would help support the idea that it's not the coin doing this if what's happening to these two is different from what happened to Thomas and Steward. The don't have any of that might have something to do with the question of if she got double transmogrified like Marion did, though I feel like that be what she screams about rather than the fact she's very cute now

[HormChaoui]

Now I may just be obtuse, but I don't have time to go back through the archviles and I'm trying and failing to remember who Lana is...

Just a note, instead of looking through all the archives, you can always look it up by hitting anyone of the character tags underneath the comic and changing the address to https://www.housepetscomic.com/character/lana/

It's funny, I've been reading this comic for years and kinda have gotten obsessed though 2019, and somehow the existence of Pit escaped me. For some bizarre reason I would either mix him up with Rock or Lana until he appeared as Marion's fashion consultant. Not sure how that happened since Pit has actually been in the strip many times.
