I think Morbi is having Petunia go this far to emphasize exactly why she requested that pacifism curse. Seems like she can't help herself in the heat of the moment.

The fact that Petunia is the Poppy character I have the most fun drawing means that you can safely assume nothing too bad will happen to her in the long run.

Petunia and Poppy fighting each other is hard to read, it's crushing. But because I'm so emotionally invested, that's proof of a great story.

Seriously, I'm having a harder time reading Poppy than whatever awful thing is going on in Endtown.

Hey morbi are flowers names common on flora (likely) or is it a coincidence that at least 4 major characters have them? Poppy, lily petunia and halia (halia is a stretch I guess but it's Malay for ginger)

It's definitely not just 4chan I've yet to see a comic comments section without heavy moderation that didn't feature at least one or two real psychos writing incredibly lurid torture porn fanfiction about whatever usually-female character they find mildly disagreeable

I think I mentioned it here before that when one of the girls in Never Satisfied was being a self-centered teenage punk, the same thing happened with people losing their poo poo and wishing death on her. Dunno what they were expecting, since half the cast are self-centered teenage punks, and the semblance of a plot so far is all of them being punks to everyone around them.

see now you can claim that Hallia is in theme and no-one will be any the wiser

also do you expect me to believe this poo poo is a coincidence as well?

quote:

A group of medicines extracted from foxglove plants are called digitalin. The use of D. purpurea extract containing cardiac glycosides for the treatment of heart conditions was first described in the English-speaking medical literature by William Withering, in 1785,[13][14][15] which is considered the beginning of modern therapeutics.[16][17] It is used to increase cardiac contractility (it is a positive inotrope) and as an antiarrhythmic agent to control the heart rate, particularly in the irregular (and often fast) atrial fibrillation. Digitalis is hence often prescribed for patients in atrial fibrillation, especially if they have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Digoxin was approved for heart failure in 1998 under current regulations by the Food and Drug Administration on the basis of prospective, randomized study and clinical trials. It was also approved for the control of ventricular response rate for patients with atrial fibrillation. American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines recommend digoxin for symptomatic chronic heart failure for patients with reduced systolic function, preservation of systolic function, and/or rate control for atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response. Heart Failure Society of America guidelines for heart failure provide similar recommendations. Despite its relatively recent approval by the Food and Drug Administration and the guideline recommendations, the therapeutic use of digoxin is declining in patients with heart failure—likely the result of several factors. Safety concerns regarding a proposed link between digoxin therapy and increased mortality in women may be contributing to the decline in therapeutic use of digoxin.

It slows down heartbeats and increase blood pressure. In very small amounts, it is used as an ingredient for some drugs to treat heart diseases.

oh no, brer morbi, don't throw me down the rabbit hole! anything but that!

quote:

Lily of the valley is worn in Helston (Cornwall, UK) on Flora Day (8 May each year, see Furry Dance) representing the coming of "the May-o" and the summer.

obvious

quote:

In terms of musical influence, “Lily of the Valley” is also a song by Queen on their album Sheer Heart Attack.

the song is about the destructive pursuit of a doomed relationship that brings down kingdoms

quote:

Two of the flower's alternative names — Our Lady's tears and Mary's tears — derive from Christian legends that it sprang from the weeping of the Virgin Mary during the crucifixion of Jesus. Other etiologies have its coming into being from Eve's tears after she was driven with Adam from the Garden of Eden or from the blood shed by Saint Leonard of Noblac during his battles with a dragon

dragon's blood eh?

also a hymn by the first bandmaster of the salvation army, but that's probably less relevant.

Well that was quick.

Now the real question is whether Mike is dating Lottie's mom now or not.

Also, the furniture being consistent in both pages is pretty nice.

I think it's pretty clear, considering the fact hes apparently in Lottie's own home in casual clothes, as well as being concerned about her schoolwork that he is.

That NanoWriMo (or I guess Camp NanoWriMo, which just ended) burn hurts. I didn't even start mine.

I'm not sure where else to ask. This thread seems like my best bet.

Can you please tell me what comic this is: A collection of dark fairy tales with interactive elements. You could choose the order in which to read the stories. Then there was a final fairy tale that starts out in a cabin. You had to click on objects to get chunks of the story. I also remember one story about a prince falling in love with a mermaid. He gets assassinated, and drops dead next to the mermaid's pond, so she keeps him.
