Hey kids, if you come upon a magical item, don’t touch it, it could be live. Remember, only you can prevent magical disappearances! MELVIN DOWN! WE HAVE A MELVIN DOWN!
We’re doing our part, so do yours, and VOTE!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for reading, enjoy!
Do not feed the magical book with your blood.
It’s like not eating or drinking in a witch’s house, or at the spirit’s bathhouse.
Well it’s listed in the book… wait………
That surprised expression at the end convinces me that Kazom isn’t secretly Melvin’s dad. I think they tried to trick us in that last strip. I was thinking “could Kazom be a pseudonym?; does his real name have T.C. as initials?” That’s probably what they wanted us to think.
How could Kazom be Melvin’s dad? He’s been a genie for hundreds of years.
people were commenting about it on the last strip, got me wondering.
Thousands according to CD’s comics
The magic aura looks kinda like an amorphous blob that’s about to give Melvin a rude surprise.
And the plot thickens! Kazom being completely unexpectant of this turn of events does not bode well…
On the other hand, being a highly experienced Genie means that he is (or can get in touch with) one of the beings most able to figure out what may have happened and how to do something about it.
Oh… Lord Guano? It would be interesting to see a Guano vs Kazom
I’d like to see that too, as well as genie v.s. witch magic.
It seems Melvin has just been sucked into a parallel universe where War Mallet is real and he has to be Red’s character 🙂
No… It looks like a teleport.
He wanted to be somewhere and somehow some kind of
Magic interpreted that as a wish.
Just because the book did something unexpected doesn’t negate the idea that Kazom might be Melvin’s dad. Kazom was trying to tell him something but didn’t get the chance. Of course I could be totally wrong on this, it was just speculation from Susan’s comment about Melvin’s dad being a good cook and knowing that Kazom was the one who really made breakfast. Maybe Kazom was Melvin’s dad’s genie and was asked to keep an eye on him for the dad. Who knows? I’m happy going along for the ride so far.
It looks to me like Kazom is seeing the magic take hold, through his Kazom vision, and is trying to say something to him about that when suddenly, dan…dan…daaaan…he disappears.
“Snake? SNAKE?!~”
Well I guess if thou live with a magical jinn that takes the form of a cat, and thy best friend have been magically TG’ed with a slightly more ditzy Jinn then finding a magic book shouldn’t come as such a big surprise.
Since it was Melvin’s Dad’s book. It make you wonder who Melvin’s Dad really is and what his relationship is to the magical world. Obviously Susan Clark Melvin’s mother has absolutely no clue as to what going on, except that this book was Melvin’s Dad book that she handing over to him.
As they say, “Stay tuned in and next week find out. Or the week after, which ever the case may be.
This should teach Melvin. Do not leave the house with the Necronomicon Ex Mortis left open in your backpack. 😛
Can a Genie come from a book, like it does a Lamp or bottle? Maybe Melvin has unleashed another Genie on the world.
I was wondering the same thing! Could give an interesting new meaning to “binding vessel”.
I am thinking that Melvin’s Dad was a sorcerer and that the book activated his son’s birthright with his blood.
It also looks like Susan had a compulsion spell placed on her to give Melvin the book at a specific time.
Ahhh yes, her “nagging feeling”.
I Think The Blue Wizard is going to get a edumcation (not a misspelling).
He probably is going to learn who his dad really was.
Lately, this is more all-over-the-place than a methed-up weasel at a chicken ranch.
