Fake Edit: Meeting Hellrin does actually sound reasonable, she showed up in the "Happy Festive Season" and the album chart, and this story did begin by making clear her human half became the Erin we've known these last few years.

Calling it now, Linton's drawing comes to life, he falls in love with it, it endears itself to the student body by beating up Blossom, but it's actually a baddie and the girls have to expose the evil naked horse lady and break Linton's heart to save his life.

At the end of it, he and Claire start dating.

Fried Chicken posted:

I can totally see her telling Daz because she has a crush on him

This is basically the correct answer. So far, we have three key elements:

Shauna has told a mega loving secret about her brother's arrest to a girl who she's trying to befriend, but isn't quite lock-tight with.

Blossom has a big crush on Daz, a chip on her shoulder against the whole world, and while she may not hate Shauna she really hates her friends.

Daz is in deep trouble due to circumstances involved with his arrest, and also was told by a friend that he needs to try dating younger girls.

My guess is that Daz, due to his mounting frustrations and keen inability to make good decisions, will flirt with Blossom. Blossom, head-over-heels for Daz, will confide in him Shauna's secret. Shauna will get the poo poo beaten out of her by her Chav-as-gently caress rear end in a top hat brother.

Daz isn't exactly a good kid, but he doesn't seem the sort to beat up his little sister, even in these circumstances.

Let me reiterate:

Captain Bravo posted:

keen inability to make good decisions

But in all seriousness, I actually think that's what's going to happen. For one: This chapter started out with Blossom mauling another girl. Shauna headed her off at the pass with her trick in school, but I think her friendliness is what will come back around and bite her in the butt. Her beating at Blossom's hand will have just been deferred, not defused, and will end up being her own fault.

Also, Allison's been on kind of a tear lately with bad ends. Used to be you could fall in love with Alistair Cromley and get sent to hell, and everything would still work out in the end. But after Shelley being forced to give up her humanity and The Boy offing himself accidentally, Scary go Round seems a little less lenient to those who gently caress up lately.

Alright, so I guess it's more "Blossom, pissed off by Shauna blabbing her feelings to Daz, will confide in him the secret" but I'm still totally calling this once poo poo goes down. :getin:

You all called me crazy, said this would never happen. I totally loving called it, swish. :thurman:

Edit: But in all seriousness, I went back and looked at the strips again, and I don't think she has a black eye. In the one before that, you can see that discoloration around her eyes too, I think it's just eyeshadow or makeup or something. She's running because she turned and booked it once she realized Blossom blabbed her secret.

Double Edit: Gotta give props to DP for this, too:

Are you ready for my Lock of the Week prediction?



Claire runs over to Colm, because he's hurt. He confesses his true feelings, which she reciprocates. Linton gets pissed because he won, earning him scorn from everyone for treating claire like a prize to be earned.

He runs away, runs into Blossom, they connect and end up dating. Two weeks later, Linton and Blossom beat the poo poo out of the entire school. :black101:

For those that bitch about Desmond, isn't that kind of the point? Like, I always read him as a send-up of nobility, or at least the modern version of it I.E. The Rich. He fucks everything up, everyone hates him, he continually teeters on the edge of disaster, but never gets a comeuppance. Even when he's not actually rich, and can barely feed himself, he still gets a free pass to be a completely horrible fishman being with no consequences and there's nothing you can do about it. Desmond Fishman is Ethan Couch, Donald Trump, and Walker Inman rolled into one disgusting abomination.

Wait, so how old is Daz' friend? Because Daz himself is barely older than a teenager. And this woman was in her twenties back in the day with Ryan and crew, so she's gotta be at least low thirties now, right?

Uh, Daz was already a teen in scary go round and he should be about eight years older than Shauna give or take, which means he's in his twenties now.

What... what is this? A vision comes unbidden to my eyes! Shauna vents to Daz, explains how his rear end in a top hat move will cause the shop to close up. She explains that Amy doesn't have The Knack anymore. Daz realizes his friend has the knack, and a chance for redemption appears! Daz and Co. travel around the country, ferreting out priceless antiques and rejuvenating Amy's shop, all the while earning money to pay off his debt, and finally turning him into a productive member of society, and... dare I say it... a useful human being? :aaaaa:

Don't forget, when Amy had The Knack she found a set of china valuable enough for Lovejoy to burn down her shop and steal it to sell to the president of France. All it takes is one big score and Daz can get out from under Si Dixon's thumb in one fell swoop!

Because Rich hits too close to home. In a comic with billionaire fishmen, The Queen of Hell, mad science, teenage mysteries, onion lads, and all other manner of fantastical beings and adventures, the most relatable villain is the normal guy who's just a bit of a wanker.

"Unlikeable?!" Rich bumbles in the door and just keeps bumbling, sliding off around the room, bouncing against bookshelves. He bumbles into Tim's relationship, busting it up big time. You get the feeling he's trying to hit on all the female characters, but he's bumbling at such a high velocity you just can't quite make it out. As he finally commits a major party foul and bumbles out the window, you think you hear him exclaim "I'm the author-insert, that's what's so CRAZY about this" on the way down.

GOATY MAN!

I have to wonder, with the face Mildred is making there, and the... specific angle Allison draws the Satyr at, if he's going with the, let's say, "historical" mythology of the Satyr in this instance?

Is he saying that the goat man has a big dick?
