I think Norma having sex doesn't require any tricking - she simply doesn't understand that having sex is not the same thing as shaking hands :)
Josh Shepherd (bergerjacques) says:
Will there come a time when Cosmo confesses he got turned into a woman to spy on Mary-Lynn. And she hit on him/her?
more worrying is Cosmo about to lose another girlfriend to lesbianism? and will this push him overthe edge into asking Esme to turn him into a girl forever? :)
Oh and just to clarify - Lesbianism is not a diease and you can't get it from girl cooties:)
ahhh woodlouse, our little womanizing flower. poor ezme never learns, u cant stop the Wood
Great Sage (sunwukong) says:
Womanizing? perhaps but he seems to really have it bad for Norma, ironically the one woman anyone can have for the asking is the one he can't bring himself to take becasue of genuine feelings :).
I'm always commenting on my blog...I prefer to do it there, because I think reading a strip and then reading me commenting about it right underneath kills the momentum.
I like commenting here for some reason. Well, Mary-Lynn being far more randy (randy?! Jesus Christ! I'm old!) with Brandina confirms she'll stay true-er to her new team. I like that.
After this side trip into the soap side, though, I'm looking forward to some advance into the adventure side of this crew, namely in hopes of finding out how the recently reincarnated faun fits into a story that apparently has threads all the way back into the beginning of Frank and Esme's relationship and the mystery of what consequences are to be paid when that green thing was set loose.
Adam Prosser (prankster) says:
Ask and ye shall recieve. The next strip starts a very Esme/Vincent plotline into motion.
I'm really busy with another project just this moment, but I can't let Freak U. lie fallow on Halloween, now can I? So here's a look at what Woodlouse is planning on dressing up as for Halloween (which, for him, is still a couple of weeks in the future).
The scary thing? This represents a turn towards realistic ambition for him. Also, better taste than usual.

A shame, really. She's so friendly, you know?
Great Sage (sunwukong) says:
Heck yeah - he totally had that coming - boy has no respect
A drunken, stoned, womanizing, irresponsible rock musician? Think of the bad precedent he's setting!
Seriously, though, I can't stand guys, or girls, who use their creative skills as an excuse to be douchebags. That's Larry's problem. They aren't even famous yet, and he's acting like Keith Moon.
Great Sage (sunwukong) says:
And just like Keith Moon - he cannot be killed by conventional means :)
Great Sage (sunwukong) says:
Larry needs to run...NOW!!
Larry hasn't wolfed out already? I guess those are claws coming out and his teeth are sharper. I can't comment with any certainty, but I think historically, battles between Frankenstein's Monster and The Wolfman have ended up stalemates at best. Perhaps with a witch/sorceress on his side, Vincent has a chance, but I'm rather concerned with the reaction of the hunchback. Nevertheless, I hope the bar where they're fighting has its insurance up-to-date.
Great Sage (sunwukong) says:
Cool! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Great Sage (sunwukong) says:
Larry, clearly a dim bulb is insulting a witch and her superstrong invulnerable boyfriend .....I think we know the out come here - The Freak House gets a new mascot - larry the Puppy :)
He's about two seconds from changing in that last panel there.
I should point out that Esme's sorcerous powers derive entirely from stuff she brews up in the kitchen or makes in some other capacity. She can't just snap her fingers and produce lightning bolts, or anything; she needs some kind of potion, powder, or magical artifact that she's prepared beforehand. So unless she has one of those in her pocket, she doesn't really have a magical advantage in this situation.
Of course, these guys are all friends, and there's another aspect to being a werewolf that will come into play in the next strip...so tune in wednesday!
So basicly Larry is being a plonker because it is his "time of the month" - ok this should be amusing - and yeah of course Esme needs some form of artefact or potion but who is to say (otherthan Adam) she doesn't carry around something for rotection in case of a mugging - sort of Arcane Mace.
I sincerely hope we do not get a DBZ style fight sequence - we will be here for a year just on the pre match posturing and powering up and another decade on the fight
Buh whuh? Werewolves don't attack humans? Still, gotta love SMACK then "Go! Get!" and Larry the dog just slinks away.
You know, I never noticed until panel 1, but Esme has a nice rack. Is that power lightning in her hair? I never got the sense of Esme as a control freak. Just lots and lots of charisma.
No, that's just how her hair looks regularly. And she's not really a control freak...but she is a bit of a type A personality. Larry's being a jerk (comes with transforming into a wolf) but that doesn't mean he's 100% off-base here.
As for the wolf thing, my logic is that wolves--regular wolves--don't attack humans except in highly unusual circumstances (they're starving, they feel directly threatened) and certainly not when there's a bunch of humans facing a single wolf. So why, then, would werewolves be voracious, indiscriminate killers? I'm going to post more about this on my blog (link above the comic).
I see where your logic is going with this but Werewolves are evil monsters that are possessed of a demonic desire to rend and tear and eat and kill and they certainly do not have a problem killing humans - mind you i believe that as creator of this comic you are the next thing to god as far as the comic universe is concerned so you can change the rules if you wish :).
I fear that what Larry said is going to come back to bite some one on the bum lateron - after all as you say he might not be entirely wrong - i predict Cosmo wqill be the new Bass player or possibly that blooping irritating Satyr.
Josh Shepherd (bergerjacques) says:
It does underscore why it would have been pointless for the group to go on. Whether or not you choose to have your werewolf kill or maim humans, they definitely cannot play a stringer instrument with their paws. So Larry had pretty much screwed himself coming in late because he couldn't have played much more than five minutes into the set before running off in search of a fire hydrant somewhere.
Adam Prosser (prankster) says:
Which is exactly why Larry was being a jerk. He keeps everyone waiting, and then he's all, "Oh, now we gotta hurry and go!"
Great Sage (sunwukong) says:
Serves them right for trusting a Lycan - blooping Furry wannabe's are intrinsically unreliable :)
Adam Prosser (prankster) says:
Sunwukong is a raging anti-Wolfite.
Now Prankster that is unfair - I was only joking as I hope you are too - note the smilie at the end - this is my clue that what I say is humour not raging and ranting .
I would certainly not describe myself as an anti Wolfite - raging or otherwise - I am anti annoying selfish jerks that use their afflictions as an excuse to be unpleasant and hurt their friends .
Michael Beck (michaelbeck) says:
I read in the Washington Post a while ago that not a single fatality has been attributed to wolves in North America since the European settlement.
Adam Prosser (prankster) says:
I feel compelled to point out that Jimmy Violent's is sort of vaguely based on Sneaky Dee's in Toronto (referenced in Scott Pilgrim Volume 4!) It's kind of a complete *&$%hole, and thus, perfect for the rocking and the rolling.
