No, out of a burning Samsung Galaxy.

No bets on on "Box"?

No, we need both. Kind of like Bob, just crazy enough to be fun?

And Sarah's next question will be: "Won't that take away the spell you just gave me?"

Remember that Sarah has been exposed to Tedd and his mad science for a long time; she had a summer of working with Tedd, and, together with Ellen and Grace, created whole new transformations (see the canon NP arc MV5). In fact, I'm wondering why Sarah would call Elliot first in this situation, since Sarah knows Elliot isn't exactly the sharpest pencil in the box. Maybe she didn't. Maybe everyone else remembered to switch off their phones.

Looking at Grace in the last panel of this one and in the last panel of the page before, I'm wondering why Grace volunteered to call Sarah. It would seem that Grace wants Elliot to see Ashley instead, or at least first. But why? As far as we know, Grace hasn't even met Ashley at this point. I believe the only time Grace has even talked about Ashley was when she told Ellen she thought it was too soon for Elliot to start dating someone after breaking up with Sarah. In the last panel of this page, we see part of Sarah's text message, which confirms, along with Grace's closed eyes as she talks, that Grace is lying to Tedd's dad. I don't think there's any way Tedd's dad isn't going to know this, though he may not call Grace on it. Or maybe he will, seeing that Tedd will be involved in whatever secret Grace is concealing. If Grace's maneuver comes off, our group is going to split up into three elements: Nanase and a reluctant Ellen to Susan (maybe with Diane?); Elliot back to Ashley; and Grace and Tedd to Sarah. Justin seems to be still on the bench. Anyone remember Magus? He could have been listening in all the time.

Who else would she make a bet with? She admits she might be an introvert. Also, since losing Blaike, and becoming estranged from Adrian, Pandora seems to be reluctant to get close with anyone. Mortals age and die; Immortals don't like or trust her because she refuses to reset and has become scarily powerful; and she could also be shunned for having a half-immortal child.

This page has references to four out of five of Elliot's potential harem members: Nanase (watching and listening right next to Elliot). Susan Ashley Sarah The missing one is Diane, and we don't know she's given up on Elliot yet. Well, I guess Justin could count as Number Six, but he hasn't even been mentioned in Sister III so far, has he? Except for non-canon NPs, we haven't seen Justin since Squirrel Prophet.

Only if there are more vampires in Moperville who've been keeping a low profile. Sirleck probably can't just dial up 1-800-VAMPIRE to recruit more.

Yes, she can. She sensed Justin's power after he'd awakened and lost his mark.

I posit that she's an extension of Pandora. We know Pandora's natural form is amorphous. She's larger than Susan's or Diane's sprites, and unlike Susan or Diane, Pandora perceives her. When Pandora woke up for this (mis)adventure, she had four arms, three mouths, and four eyes. And there are at least two occasions in canon where there may have been more than one of Pandora: “I prefer not to know.” “Magic has to be a butt face!” However, it would be neat if the cowgirl is a new Immortal.

Nope. The only thing Grace has sensed about Sam is that he's a she. It does make sense that Pandora might have marked Sam with a transgender spell, but if she had, Sam wouldn't need that fake beard, would she?

So Dex was controlled by Voltaire, and was controlling the fire guys and the dragon through Dex. And Dex took HD video of the fight between Justin, Cheerleadra, and the first fire guy. Unless The Shive couldn't resist adding Dex to the joke in the last panel, that would mean that Voltaire wanted to publicise this magic-revealing incident. Unless maybe Pandora was controlling Dex that time.

In an issue of Xxxenophile, Phil Foglio posits an intriguing alternative to Bernoulli's principle as to why aircraft can fly, and it sort of involves "bouncing"...

And how is he going to do that? Since he's forced to work under the existing rules, he has to find someone who will actually want what he can give them in order to empower and guide them into what he wants done. I think there's a hint here that Voltaire has an agenda beyond destroying Pandora. Maybe bringing down such a powerful Immortal as Pandora would also bring down the whole apparatus the other Immortals have set up. Whether that's true or not, if Voltaire believes it and believes it would be the right thing to do, I think that's what he's going for. It's interesting that Voltaire hasn't been shown interacting with Magus, who swore to destroy Pandora. We don't know whether Voltaire even knows Magus exists. Voltaire does know that Sirleck exists, since he impersonated Abner the detective to sic Sirleck onto Adrian. Maybe all the people shown in the title page are catspaws.

My guess is that no one is going to notice until Catalina's tail until someone steps on it, grabs it, or it gets caught in a door, causing Catalina to yelp.

New T-Shirt for Catalina: HEY! MY EARS ARE UP HERE!

If there's any Immortal that Edward actually knows, it would most likely be Pandora. I've also noticed that Edward was not surprised at all to see her when she appeared to Cranium and Wolf. And he hesitates a bit before he says "...is an Immortal", maybe because he was about to say her name. However, because of his strained relationship with Adrian, Edward might not know that Adrian suspects Pandora was manipulating Dex. Right now only Sarah might know what Pandora has been up to, and she's been warned not to trust Edward with secrets. Anyway, given Edward's established secretive nature, I guess The Shive might justify just about any rabbit he pulls from his hat or wherever, but Pandora's the only Immortal we have been shown who has any hint of a previous relationship with Edward.

Notice that Edward knows that it's Voltaire's interpretation of Immortal law is all that counts for him.

CORTANA! My laptop got infected with this crappy app with the latest Windows update. Gee, Microsoft must have put in a lot of work to make a "feature" that's even more annoying than Clippy.

The secretary would still be safer, and would have the potential of letting Sirleck retain all the old man's fortune, not just the portion he's embezzled into untraceable accounts. The elf would be attractive; I've said that before. But Sirleck at the very end of So a Date at the Mall is still counting on getting Ellen to zap Elliot and is thinking of using an attack on Adrian as a diversion to lure away the immortals that are guarding Elliot to allow Magus to get his body back. And it might be impossible for Sirleck to possess a half-immortal anyway, or perhaps if he did, he would become visible to other immortals. Hmmm. Voltaire probably anticipates this, so Plan CM might involve the "success" of Magus getting his body back. That would draw in Sirleck. Maybe Sirleck is Voltaire's real target?

It seems pretty obvious that Sirleck is wanting to steal a new body, most likely the body Magus gets (or thinks he's going to get.) But now I'm wondering exactly how Sirleck could do that. Magus with a body would be much more dangerous than he is now, assuming he gets back all the powers and spells he had as a mage. And how long can Sirleck exist without a host? How long will it take to take over a new host? The old man he's been riding will die as soon as Sirleck leaves his body. Sirleck might have a very short time to make the move safely, so he might have to bring the old man physically close to his prospective new host. Sirleck's safest host would probably be that dancing secretary of his. In fact, he could change the old man's will to leave her all his money. But maybe Sirleck isn't as gender-fluid as our heroes. If Sirleck intends to take over Elliot/Magus' body, he also might change the old man's will to leave everything to Elliot.

Two points here: Brownie is a girl. Nanase is a girl. We don't know if Ellen has ever tried to use her copy spell on any male, although Jerry thought she might have tried. Ellen might only be able to copy females. Catalina should get along with Brownie well enough. Catalina with Jeremy or Max (Adrian's cat) might present problems...

When I really want to get fancy, I use the GIMP, but for cutting out panels, I use Nimbus Screenshot (an app for Chrome). If you don't want to do that, and assuming you have a PC running Windows, you can do it by hitting the PRINT SCREEN key, then going to Paint and CTRL-V. You'll get a shot of the whole screen. You'll have to crop it before you save it (Nimbus lets you crop and even do some editing before you save.) The PRINT SCREEN method takes more work, but it has a significant advantage if you want to save a popup window activated by a rollover, something you'll see pretty often if you play Facebook games.

I think you are mixing up Edward with Noriko. Edward is the one who stayed the course. And I might point out that Tedd probably qualifies as a supernatural danger well over and above being a teenage boy/girl/whatever.
