Panel 4: I take it this ring will suffice then? also, what’s with the * to this and the last page?
Fixed*
Huh, didn’t expect the last page to be canon. Not complaining though 🙂
Wait, so the last strip wasn’t just April’s Fool day?!😦
Even with the gender bender thing, I’m surprised how unfazed Melvin remains after being turned into a playboy cover girl with extra “front”.
That’s the thing about magical transformations, it’s not externally obvious where Melvin’s change falls on the spectrum from purely physical to full self image, so who’s to say the effect doesn’t make Melvin feel “normal” despite the changes?
I think that Holly is about to get a bit of an education.
Red may have “called” for Pinky, but it seems Mel “called” for the spirit of Hugh Hefner.
I’m not complaining. 😉
Sure looks like Red actually does have romantic feelings for Melvin, and is just insisting they’re “bromantic” feelings because Red’s in denial.
Red is still into girls if Saachi is to be believed, and Bunny Melvina is HOT.
Speaking of Saachi, we didn’t see her reaction to the new dresses. Is she nose-bleeding in a corner?
I dunno. Saachi seems to be more than a bit delusional.
Saachi and BJ both may be wearing similar outfits and are off in a corner contemplating marriage.
Saachi should definitely be dressed liked Melvin, Red, and Holly, but as for BJ, I’m not sure I’m ready for that.
If I recall correctly, that actually happened on one holiday special page, though I don’t recall just which one… maybe Carlos knows?
While searching for the elusive Bunny Girl BJ I came across 3 images of girlified BJ.

Day Dream: March 5, 2017
Unforeseen Results: October 2, 2022
Just so you know is a Yes or No for question for both of them. Either the two of them have a bunny suit, or they not. But a bunny suit would be the only change if that answer would to be yes. Careful with what you wish for.
Ummm, well, Kahin is guy and he didn’t get a bunny suit.
But then again, BJ looks like Melvin at the moment, maybe we would have two bunny girl Melvins, AKA twins, and hilarity ensues.
I like the idea of twins.
What gets me here is how chill Holly is at the moment about her new clothes, but I have two thoughts on that. 1) She hasn’t yet noticed, because 2) she is far more focused on power of the Ring and what it represents.
So, this ring…is it the one Aladdin had before he got the lamp in the original story?
It’s based on the tale, yes.
