We have any innocent readers? I suppose they are not visiting this forum ... I mean, I don't think their innocence would last long in such case.

Also, Nanase already considered this possibility in canon.

Sooo ... who did made Ellen fat on this page? Rhoda? Did it cancelled her shrinking spell? The cat ears and tail are obviously from Catalina and DO stack with the fat transformation.

And, yes, casting one spell with each hand does seem relatively predictable.

Did Catalina cast part of the spell? I must have missed where she got marked ...

Here.

(I was also considering the "on the back" answer.)

D'oh! Stupid me. That led to the entire plotline. I've really got to have my memory abilities checked by my doctor one of these days. Argh.

I can't believe I only just noticed Ellen was in a woman's hands yesterday.  (Although, she's white, and the clothes are different, so I guess it's Catalina?)

It was Rhoda that was holding her in the previous page, this one is basically a direct continuation with Rhoda putting Ellen on the floor.

[WR...S 41]

Again, though, the woman holding her is white, and wearing different clothes; not that Rhoda couldn't do that, but it seems weird that she'd go right from a full-body shift to the exact same base-with-light-hair form she took in the third panel, with the exact same clothes.

From the previous comic's commentary:

Quote

Rhoda's comment, and Ellen being shorter / smaller / heavier / blonder and held by Rhoda in the last panel

Rhoda has the ability to change her looks completely, we saw it in Escape from the Mall where she darkened her skin tone along with changing hair and clothing styles and colours, and likely eye colour as well.

Plus the hair is a dead giveaway.

While it is enjoyable to see Bad Tom irritated outside canon, I am still waiting for him to face poetic or ironic justice in the story.

What Susan did to him wasn't justice.  It was actually helpful.  And while it might have made him stop and think for a little while, it will take more than one Bobby Burns Louse moment to make a real impression on him.

Actually, if his ego is big enough, he may be very fragile.

 The visuals in this comic, for example, would be very different if not for responses to the previous comic. Rhoda, let alone Catalina, wouldn't even be in it.

I tell ya, he lurks here.  Saw my comment of "more blonde Rhoda" and there we have it.

Ego?  What ego?  I don't have an ego problem \ldots

Bad Tom was soo full of himself and his ability to manipulate people into doing the things he wanted, he was basically a balloon filled to near bursting and Susan untied that balloon and sent him flying.

Unless he really was interested in Susan.  He was pretty devastated after she was done with him.

No, he just wanted her money to buy a sandwich.

More likely, someone on twitter/tumblr/patreon had same comment.

IMHO he was devastated because 1) it never happened to him and it was therefore big blow to his ego 2) NOW when she's unobtainable he really IS interested in Susan.

\ldots are not LaTeX specific, works well in plain TeX.

Ok, I am showing just how much of a casual computer user I am.

The first time I read that line, I thought you said "Idiots work well in Texas."
