The Dan does say that wearing clothes was becoming futile, so my head canon is the next frame would be awesome and clothing less. He said "gradually". So probably more than one frame.

Did you saw her as Otter before or after this Ashley-otter? I think Grace looks better. That two-color combination on Ashley is weird. On the other hand, it's Ashley's first try at squirrel. She needs more experience. And less clothing Remember, clothes on fur is weird. EDIT: ... didn't occurred to me.

Note that I was reminded recently Ashley WAS in color in canon once. Was it really her first cup? Agree: bigger bobbies wouldn't be better AND flip-flops would make more sense.

I expected at least LITTLE more effort on her part than just saying "poof". I'm surprised he didn't considered the option of being her catboy. But maybe he knows very well that being catgirl is his only chance ... ... and on top of that, his eyes looks as if she's mind-controlled, but hopefully it's just surprise. I'm still not sure WHY would catgirl spell change outfit so much, even if BOTH have such fetish. That's why it's important to have packet filter in your firewall.

Interesting. So in US, parents are not expected to be responsible. (It's probably right, you shouldn't expect so much ...) It definitely makes much more sense than US governments attempts to prevent children seeing boobies. Putting aside your age, what about designated drivers?

"But surely the drug companies can pay for all that expensive research! Why should government get involved?" And people wonder why drugs are so expensive and research is so meager and erratic. Just because the drug companies CAN pay it doesn't mean they WILL. And, yes, whoever pays for the research is setting up priorities. If the drug companies are paying it, the priorities would be based on how they can get more money. IV fluids are more than just water. Blood and other body fluids are a certain concentration, and we have to add enough electrolytes (and/or sugars) to make the fluids the same concentration, or bad thigns happen. And yes, they have to be sterilized, which means most third world countries can't afford very much of them. I know and I actually wanted to say "are not made from contaminated water" ... although, maybe the contaminated water would have correct osmotic pressure Unfortunately, there isn't a waiting line, where all bacteria become resistant to one antibiotic and then the next. Even simple penicillin, the antibiotic in use the longest, still has plenty of cases where it's perfectly usable. Bacteria can both gain and lose resistances over time. ... and what's unfortunate on it? Bacterias are getting most resistant to the antibiotics most often overused (assuming every antibiotics is similarly easy to develop resistance on, which is not true, and not counting effects of location). Therefore, it makes sense to only use new antibiotics which bacteria are not resistant to yet only in important cases (like when curing infections caused by those resistant bacterias) and using the most overused antibiotics (which may not be penicillin, maybe because while oldest, penicillin is hard to use - needs to be taken often - and maybe it's also one of those harder-to-get-resistant ones) in "preventive" cases like viral infections or as "growth promotants". The problem with them is that they kill bad bacteria and normal flora, which allows later bad bacteria to more easily fill the niche left vacant by the normal bacterial flora. If you can prove that, contact FDA. Seems that their latest concern is that there’s no data demonstrating that these drugs provide additional protection from diseases and infections. In short, major problem with those anti-bacterial soaps is that they were called anti-bacterial by marketing, not by scientists. ... Hmmm, what exactly is Susan using?

Do you really require ID if friend buys you drink? Between his look and enthusiasm, I would guess Elijah is younger than Rick. But, yes, it's wild guess.

She can still be 19-20 and not look older than the 18 year olds in the cast. Heck there's a girl I work with who's 22 and looks like she could be 15. ... right. And guessing age of drawn people is usually HARDER than in real life. (And I'm not speaking about the Pandora case here.)

Take heart. This will soon become the norm in first world countries, too. As more and more superresistant strains develop while our governments fritter away what antibiotics still do work through such strokes of genius as cutting funding for hospital hygiene, we are a mere decade or two away from living in the happy times of the early twentieth century where the surest way of getting rid of an infection was through amputation. If we manage to not defund research for little longer, we may find some new ones, for example Peruvian pepper. ... because the IV fluids are not contaminated water. Putting contaminated water in through IV will be even worse idea than drinking it. Hey, what if they just describe the antibiotics which most bacteria are already resistant? They can sincerely said that it will work just as good as the new antibiotics on the viral infections and it will be cheaper. (Of course, SUGAR would work just as good as well and will be even cheaper, but people are getting too good discovering placebos.) Yes, and if there is no bacteriophage for that specific infection we just make it - oh wait, some people are against genetic research. Let's hope they get the resistant bacteria first.

Maybe Dan's retconning her as one of the others that Luke used his auravision on to determing a difference between someone marked and someone not marked but with magic. It's only retcon if he didn't originally planned that She doesn't look that old ... on the other hand, she can be friends with Luke even if not similar age.

Actually, the object oriented programming is only not allowed in combination with CMDs and similar devices. Also, no: TF Gun does NOT work by directly manipulating real world objects. It's just that without object oriented programming, making clone forms would be too complicated.

Well, he does have the glove that he uses to empower the watches, Tedd might have been in the process of designing that glove, or maybe the glove was the product of what he learned making the gauntlet? That glove would DEFINITELY be of later date, considering it's device obviously using earth magic and used to make other devices using earth magic.

I think that the belt uses uryuom technically magic. It might even be reason why it's painful. I think that creating watches (which are using Earth magic) is much easier. I would assume it's more like inspiration. It's also possible that he was already building SOME gauntlet but he changed how it worked. What's more important, TEDD sees it first here.

... who could she talk to? Luke's friends? Unlikely. She's probably a terrible liar, like Ashley or Elliot. Maybe WORSE. At least, Ashley and Elliot are aware they are terrible liars and tries to compensate. There's also the fact that Noriko stated her frustration over Tedd having no magic potential despite her's and Edward's bloodline, and then Q&A #7 confirmed that Tedd was expected to be a wizard due to his family history suggests that both Edward and Noriko are wizards. He DID used wand when attacking Abraham, but considering Agent Wolf also have wand there and he is confirmed to be wizard ... (on the other hand, that spell for identifying Elliot might've been his own and there is no reason why all superiors of wizards need to be wizards or even magic users).

I don't know either, but even if this small detail would stop her from transforming boys, she can still transform random girls.

I think this has less to do with them being third world countries and more with "If only source of water you have is the one which caused you diarrhea, you will die".

I do wonder though, even though the energy that the TFG uses is different than Magic, the fact that Tedd still refers to it's effects on humans as enchantments and that the forms can still be resisted, that maybe Tedd's insight works on that and all he'd need to do is fire the TFG at someone to see in what way it's incompatible and tweak the TFG to compensate. He would see that it's incompatible but not necessary how. However, I agree that it shouldn't be that hard for him to find out, considering his previous achievements. (Based on this strip, he used observations of Elliot to find out how to use earth magic instead of uryuom technically magic - he combined what he learn "from" Elliot with what he know about TF Gun)

Not invalidate. It will just make them harder to use. Invalidating would mean that the way humans are constructed would radically change, which I would assume would be outside the options of Will of magic even if it WANTED to do something so complicated. There are lot of ways the TFG effect can be altered which would make sense. For example, the duration can change very easily. It can start to hurt like the transformation belt. And the non-clone forms might have different results than it used to have, like FV5 might have different boob size when applied to woman. I agree that it will be quite improbable (meaning: Tedd would have good reason to suspect Will of Magic did it deliberately) for the TFG to stop working completely.

Well Tedd as she currently is would be FV1 anyway so she's covered already. Her extra girly form from when she first intentionally used the spell would have to be saved. Yeah that's the one I meant.

Were they using the same kind of shields Archimedes used to burn Roman ships? Because I suspect the secret of those highly reflective shields was lost just like Greek fire. It's about trust. Most people don't trust politicians to add anything to water because they have experience with how competent and incorruptible they are(n't). I'm pretty sure the six hour figure only applies near the equator. Of course, the SODIS method is mostly developed FOR the countries around equator, but that doesn't change the fact that it will NOT work elsewhere.

Her goodness certainly wouldn't stop her - I'm sure she wouldn't believe someone wouldn't want to be catgirl, so she's doing it for their own good!

Note: I suspect Tedd switched to male between frames 5 and 6. What makes you think Tedd hasn't already done that? Well not sure about Grace having the clone forms, she probably has a few but maybe not all of them. I would assume Tedd designed the Watch forms on the same computer she designed TFG forms. Most likely, he designed everything on computer, which will NOT be affected by magic reset, and if for some reason will be easier to get forms from Grace than from computer, she can always put the forms on Grace AFTER reset because TF Gun will work on Grace after reset exactly same as before reset. Only thing he needs to scan is her girly form, that's from mark spell and she can lose that. Possibly. But his main reason to stay male seem to be avoid being attracted to Elliot While it seems logical to test it, we already talked about how hard is to make any test which would show useful results. And based on limited amount of data, I think he would be similarly unhappy with either gender if stuck in it, so falling back to pragmatic reasons make sense.

Yeah, she didn't give her the book as reward. Or at least not JUST as reward. All sort of things with Catalina? Ok, Pandora is too old to not say it that way deliberately. Is she shipping them? Kitty might end up casting all around herself DELIBERATELY.

I think only problem with desalinating ocean water is the ENERGY. Meaning, it will get almost free when people stop fearing and build some next-generation nuclear reactors. Preferably cold fusion of course Of course, creating drinking water from bacteria-enriched water will always be easier. You only need to boil it.

It's also possible magical energy recovery is greatest if you are not moving, creating "personal ambient magic field". And sleeping is just the most obvious case of not moving for long time. Most likely, though, both effect contribute.
