Well this should prove interesting…
Also, here’s Red apologizing for the delay on this week’s comic. This weekend won’t be any new updates in an attempt to get back on schedule, so expect next page on Saturday 14:

Panel 2: it should be knives, not knifes.
Strange that Photoshop’s spellcheck failed to notice that…
That’s because it’s a valid word, just not the plural of the object. From Collins Dictionary: “Knives is the plural form of the noun and knifes is the third person singular of the present tense of the verb.”
A verb, indeed, as in, “He turns and knifes the thug.”
*That* makes sense.
Spell check only verifies if it’s a valid word, but doesn’t check for context.
For example, Sell/Cell, Dwarves/Dwarfs, Sea/See, and she/Sidhe (Yes, it’s pronounced like “She”) all sound the same, but have different meanings (And many spell checkers won’t recognize “Dwarves” as it relates to the fantasy race from AD&D or Tolkien’s Lord of the rings, not “Humans with a growth disorder”
Actually, the term “dwarves” was a term referring to “short humans” for over a century before Tolkien was ever born. He did not invent the word, but borrowed the pre-existing term to describe his fantasy race, not the other way around. So any spell checker that doesn’t recognize the word is simply in error, as it’s a legitimate noun in English, although less commonly used than the alternate form, “dwarfs”.
Little does she know that the better girlfriend is her. Well I guess ignorance is bliss in this situation.
I wish Red would find a new top or something to wear, as what she has now just looks painful and frankly I fail to see it really working.
I relayed a similar sentiment to Hollum on our Slack server after reading this page. I think it might be what led to him choosing this title for the page, haha.
Agreed. It looks as inadequate as a thread and a pair of postage stamps.
Making Red uncomfortable and thus grumpy and prone to mistakes would be a valid plot point. Fanservice for it’s own sake not so much.
Or maybe she’ll just poof into the vault of “creepy magic tops that are appropriate for wear after labor day” if she phrases it as a “where can I find something to wear” question.
Maybe she’ll discover a pair of magical pasties. 😉
More likely it’ll be like Doctor Strange’s cape… they’ll find her.
1. It’s a bit weird watching Red monologuing. Maybe the bubbles 💬 should be clarified as thoughts ðŸ’.
2. Did she hear the “magic aura” part? Is Red aware of her new nature as a nymph?
Probably not, but she may be aware of her Witch lineage.
She may not be aware just yet, but the clues are starting to pile up.
I think she’s really saying it. Not out loud, more like mumbling it under breath, but it’s still speech.
The pinup is like a delicious dessert to go with the more-than-a-snack full strip. And they’re both funny! 🙂
Thanks, Melvin for getting Red into this mess!
And thank you, Holly for the writing and drawing of it. 😀
I’m fairly sure that if Holly was writing this comic, Red would be a lot more miserable right now.😂 None the less, I’m glad you are enjoying it!😊
we r there for her first “poof”!
