First, Bagel Dogs are not the worst reason that has ever been used to start or justify a war. Second, what if the magic clog and gathering Vampires in Moperville is a coordinated effort to keep the Griffons away from their half of the world? Third, given her expression in the last panel, are we certain Tara is NOT a supervillain?

I Like the Chibi look Dan uses. Especially for Grace. I Like the idea of spin-off comic for the game related stories. I know Dan has a lot of game related story ideas and those stories can be useful for explaining a character's mental or emotional background and development. But I also understand that a lot of readers quickly tire of watching others play video or card games. So a separate comic for those stories may be a good idea, provided it does not cause more delays to the regular story and/or NP comics. And isn't it obvious why she didn't die after getting shot? Grace can't die until someone lops off her head with a big old sword. (No, wait, I was trying to use that theory to explain Tedd. Never mind.)

Sports Illuminated The Illuminati's internal publication about what is REALLY happening in athletics. Do you think it was just a coincidence that Middle Tennessee's "upset" win in the first round of the NCAA Basketball Tournament would ensure that there were absolutely no "perfect" brackets for the remainder of March Madness? If you had read last month's Sports Illuminated, you would have known what was scheduled.

And despite the problems, Adrian Raven still seems like he would want to do the same thing all over again with Noah and Grace. Adrian Raven is prohibited from acting directly in many situations where magic could be useful. But like his immortal mother, he may guide and empower others to do what he believes to be the right thing. This is starting to remind me of the old Doom Patrol comics.

With such a wild name as "Anime Style Martial Arts" Mrs Kitsune may have been inclined to dismiss Greg's Dojo, just like Noah. But this may have made it MORE attractive. If Nanase's mother found the Phys-Ed and Sports programs at Moperville Schools to be inadequate or unacceptable she might have looked for an outside exercise or sport for her daughter. A crazy title and a few flashy moves might be perceived as an equivalent to putting marshmallows in cereal, a way to get kids to swallow something that is good for them.

Perhaps immortals are born as (seemingly) ordinary humans but their immortal nature is revealed when they would otherwise die, but fail to do so (highlander-esque, but not necessarily with swords), There was speculation a long time ago that the reason Edward and Noriko could not detect magic in Tedd (which we know he has) was because mortals can not detect immortal magic and Tedd is an infant immortal. I know this theory isn't as popular as it once was, but I'm sticking to it. Just like I'm sticking to the theory that Sensei Greg and Vladia are now a couple.

Despite Ellen's "Web of Selectively Not Shared Information" http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1702, it seems probable that any one of the Maine Ate might know anything another one knows. Similarly Edward Verres, Mrs Kitsune, Sensei Greg, and Adrian Raven are also in positions where they may, or may not, be aware of any specific fact known to the kids.

Is it simply inevitable that someone who lives for centuries or millennia would eventually see mere humans as pets or toys?

I can't help but think that Grace's shirt is the kind that you get when you order a subscription to Sports Illuminated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_verification_in_sports It gets far less press now than testing for performance enhancing drugs.

Well now that we know some details about what is now the current NP story, can we start speculating on what the NEXT NP Story may be? My first guess. Sensei Greg's Anime Style Martial Arts Dojo is brought under the scrutiny of various sports regulatory bodies when the sex tests for his students at competitions show irregular results.

Thank you Middle Tennessee State University.

And I thought Dan was yanking our tails. Still, seven Vampires in on (relatively) small municipal area? And the human populace is almost entirely unaware? And Edward Verres isn't even running the cover-up operations for Dad's-Government-Business in the FBI any more? Two, not mutually exclusive, ideas come to mind. 1. Agents Cranium, Wolf, and other operatives, staffers, agents, and officers involved with that department are dedicated to the cover-up philosophy despite the stated attitude of Arthur. 2. The average mundane citizen has been so deeply conditioned to believe that magic / aliens / vampires do not actually exist that they will deny the truth and latch on to far more improbable explanations without any additional outside coercion.

I have an image in my head involving a family of magical beavers who built a darn on the "wrong" spot. This is causing flooding on one side and a drought on the other. Of course, it is possible that Pandora (or some other entity) "guided" the beavers to the "wrong" spot.

I know it is supposed to be a black shirt. But to me it looks like Grace is wearing a leather jacket. Especially in the last panel.

The Republican Convention will conclude July 21. The Democratic Convention will conclude July 28. The General Election in the US will be Tuesday, November 08. That is just over 100 days between convention and election. And the only break in there will be the Games of the XXXI Olympiad in Rio August 05 - 21 (some competition starts August 03). And what depresses me most is that there is still more time from now until the conventions START than there is between the end of the conventions and the Election.

I had to reread this post several times. At first I thought you were suggesting that Sarah was jealous of Nanase and [Nanase's] sister (Akiko). It finally occurred to me as I was writing this response that you meant Sarah was jealous of Nanase and her (Sarah's own) sister (Carol). Tedd already covered why it would not be unusual for anyone to feel jealousy towards Nanase. But if an eighteen year old young woman is jealous of the appearance of a ten year old girl, there is probably a deeper psychological issue present. And Sarah seems to be relatively well adjusted. Aside from throwing the occasional couch.

As we don't have a "Wild Theories" thread in the new forums, yet, I am making a prediction here. Unclogging the magic drain out of Moperville will force the reunion and reconciliation of Mrs Kitsune and Noriko Verres.
