Bobby wrote the letter, yes, but he was taking dictation from the mice.

Now all we need to do is figure out who the mice are taking their orders from.

You know, the letter has never been specifically referenced to as a love letter since Kat first identified it, having only seen the heart on the envelope. Maybe Bobby is curious about human anatomy and is starting with heart functions, but asked some embarrassing personal questions about Kat's body. He probably asked if he could take her apart.

Lab mice have more self-respect than that. Man lemme tell you how much I love all these Internet people cryin' out boo over Bobby being the author when (a) Bobby himself hasn't even said anything yet and (b) the chapter's not goddamn over

SHISHKABOB posted:They're all 13, right? (by all I mean the kids in the same class as Annie and Kat) Last page, but I don't think this is the case anymore. They were, I believe, 13 as of Comic #1, but we've had 3 summer breaks since then (if I recall correctly). Which potentially puts them between 15 and 16.

Cat Mattress posted:Because they don't have that much chemistry? They've only interacted twice in the story: once for City Face the baby pigeon, and once when Kat tried to cheer up Paz and it just got awkward. I don't disagree that there's not much chemistry between Paz and Kat, but being attracted to men does not preclude also being attracted to women! In pretty much every conversation I've seen on this subject, people seem to forget that 'bisexual' is a thing.

I... I feel dumb now, because even though it makes no sense, I totally thought those were sunglasses as well. Thanks to your post, I now realize it is obviously just shading.
