Rivals Vs. Interloper
Sorry that this one was so late! If my weekend goes as productively as I hope, I’ll have another new one ready for Monday. I’ve got comix fever, apparently.
Update: I did not, in fact, have an additional new one up for Monday the 28th. I’m just going to have the next one on Monday the 4th, so that things are back on track with this established schedule where Monday Is The Thing.
…and I just plain like how italics look with this font I’m currently using here for paragraph text.

(1) the panel where the Candy Hearts are like STOP MAKING HER CRY in response to this terrible accusation is the most frustrating thing ever! That captures like everything that is bad about social interactions.
(2) she only WISHES Honey was born with a tail like a spider monkey
This one frustrates me too — almost to the point where it frustrates me to have written a little story that contains it. And yet, there’s something about these Saturday Morning Cartoon Crimes of scheming and dognapping that just seems right for this world.
Honey is caring to a fault, and she would use her spider monkey tail for SUPER HUGS.
is it just me or is foxy getting less caveman-ish?
Maybe a little! She still likes to clobber the drums, though.
And once again the shirt with the ribs makes an appearance. I’m of the opinion everyone just takes their clothes off and tosses them everywhere, then someone else picks it up and puts it on. XD
Totally saw this coming! But oh no, what will happen to Honey and the gang!? D:
That’s because Honey was a spider monkey and a previous life. You can see it in her eyes.
Did someone else have a rib shirt earlier that I totally forgot about? I gotta check now!
If so, yeah, it’s in character — Sourballs tend to be super casual about clothing removal and swapping.
Hm. Maybe I confused it with another article of clothing? XD Still, the point stands. ;p
I could always draw someone else wearing it at some point in the future!
speaking of clothing . . . i’m totally unsurprised that arsenic is fine with a beer in him and a feather boa when everyone else is wearing light jackets, yet i find it deviant that New Girl isn’t at all cold in her teeny dress and thin knee-highs and perfunctory scarf. she’s definitely evil.
It was maybe my favorite minor thing in the last one that Arsenic put on his feather boa to go outdoors in the same way that Turpentine put on a sweater. It’s somehow transcended being a stage costume piece into just being outerwear, and it’s just normal to him to be half-dressed no matter the weather.
Soda, meanwhile, is also confusing things by having a parasol just to be cute when it seems to be neither raining nor really sunny.
Soda is manipulative. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
shes going to pop *zing*
She’s SO manipulative, and it’s like all of these characters on both teams aren’t used to that and are caught off guard! Their world usually just involves straightforward conflict and rivalry, some of it homoerotic.
I know personally I hate to be scammed like a chump. But the spider monkey tail comment is one of the funniest lines you’ve written, Kathleen.
Thanks! When I was finishing up this page, it definitely got sidetracked by a middle-of-the-night obsession with looking up spider monkey images and video. They are so gracefully, awkwardly weird.
