Cast
Holly SmytheHolly is Melvin's crush. After the genie incident, Holly is aware that Melvin likes her, but there is a little too much strangeness surrounding Melvin and his friends for Holly's liking. Comics: 78 |
KazomKazom is a 3,000 year old genie. In order to conserve power and thereby extend his life, Kazom does as little magic as possible. He is bound in the form of the Clark family's cat and mostly just lays around Melvin's Room. Comics: 158 |
Melvin ClarkThe unofficial leader of the trio of friends. Melvin sees himself as the wise wizard of the party. Comics: 248 |
Tiffany "Red" ThorntonRed was a boy until a new genie tried to get Melvin a girlfriend. That's when the genie turned Red into a girl so Melvin could practice talking to girls, and forgot to turn her back before disappearing. Red is hopeful that her situation is only temporary. Comics: 228 |
Well Mell are you goanna stop them or see who wins?
That magic sealing room, is Melvin’s only hope to save both girls.
Yes, getting Holly into the anti-magic room could break the spell that is being used to control her.
‘biting’, not ‘bitting’. But still, great to see more of this.^^ And I can tell that your artwork style has been improving.:D
Ah shoot, I knew *something* looked wrong about that, but I couldn’t tell what.
It’s fixed now.
Thanks for the new strip, hope you had a good New Year!
Grab ’em both by the ankles and start pulling.
No
The correct action is to whip out your camera and start filming
Unfortunately, Mel’s probably even weaker than usual just now, though.
I don’t like how passive is Melvin in this scene. Shouldn’t he try to help Red and restrain Holly, specially if the later isn’t herself at the moment?
Remember, he’s still recovering from his “OMG HOLLY IS HERE” overload. He might not be *able* to bring himself to actually touch her.
Well, I went back and checked pages 154 and 155 and the room they were just in is a power draining room, not an anti-magic room. The only way it should work on Holly is if the spell is transmitting all the time, or the originator(s) is somehow attached or linked closely to her, so they are pulled into the room as well.
