Did I... did I miss anything important?
What is the SD club? What VIP are they bodyguarding?! Tell me, Zack!!

These poses would be really great for the select screen of a Paranatural fighting game.

e: I just noticed hair kid's t-shirt says "WEBCOMICS". Makes sense to me.

Short hair, t-shirt and pants, sometimes hat. Yep, Max's design is pretty subdued.

Also, Lisa is great. I wonder who she's pointing at; it looked like she might have spotted the VP. Or maybe she's menacing science kid there; that would explain the latter's expression.

Is that really Lisa? They look similar but I thought Lisa had eyelashes drawn on and her making a weird face doesn't make sense based on what little we know about her character

If Paranatural was an anime it'd be one of the few where it'd be hard to play "Spot the protagonist in the classroom."

Now I really want to play this game with someone using today's page.

Just noticed one of his eyebrows is white, in addition to the lightning flash on the side of his head. Truly Mayview is the most anime of all highschools (even including that Japanese high school in America that whomp guy is writing about)

Lisa's the most intimidating one on that page.

All the other kids' expressions say, at worst, "I will destroy you." Lisa's says, "Destroying you is just the beginning."

Well there's a couple that seem to be generic children. Like the girl directly below Burnhound's head. Unless there's a second character that there's some sort of gimmick to match?

I wonder if there's a group like Johnny's on his team. Lightning eyebrows/hair (taking Johnny's fire theme), Doors Suck guy, and maybe a couple others. There's the kid doing the same hand gesture as Johnny is, too.

And I just realized that Isabelle is fighting a team of hounds.

So I don't remember seeing this brought up, but does anybody else think the team names might be a hint at Isabel's new spirit?

Forge is a fire spirit, Johnny's team is the Burnhounds. Maybe Isabel's got an electricity leaning spirit now? A weather spirit would fit with the tool being an umbrella, not that that means much, and it could make more tensions between the team and Isaac.

Like the cash register in THESE TWO pages, the characters in the gym, and so on and so forth.

Ok, I think I might be missing something here because I can't really tell what it is that you're pointing out about the cash register there. Not that I disagree with what you're saying about the background details in general, I think it's one of the most endearing aspects of the comic. I really like Zack's style as well as the way it's grown and improved as the comic progresses, but all I'm seeing in those two pages is a plain old cash register.

(I swear I'm not trying to be a dick, so forgive me if that's how I'm coming across, I just can't think of another way to ask)

Max's dad's antics in the first comic, which look like they should knock the cash register off the counter, in fact did so, as we see in the second comic, though. It's just a silly background thing.

Gotcha. That's what I originally thought he meant, but for some reason I kept thinking that I must be missing some kind of crazy detail in the register itself or something like that. Thanks for clearing that up, I'm just gonna go ahead and blame my temporary thickness on lack of sleep.
