comics (newest: Your Friend)

Cut Watermelon

The bag was empty but had watermelon juice left inside.

Expiring

We were talking about Killdeerfrost, who was wearing hip waders at the time.

Flat Doughnut

That day I ate an ice cream sandwich, a slice of cake, a slice of pie, three marzipan fruits, an ice cream sundae, a Kinder chocolate bar, two doughnuts, a cookie, and a brownie.

Goatman

He was singing to himself in the kitchen.

Heavy

My heavy is backpacker.

I Don't Know These People #41

We don't know her name; we call her Popsicle Stick.

I Don't Know These People #42

My favorite color!

I Don't Know These People #43

The kid next to him drew a dinosaur that I refer to as the blue space meatball from my nightmares.

I Don't Know These People #44

There are a lot of noisy crows outside, which is odd because crows actually aren't all that common here--they're not unusual to see but it sounds like a lot of them.

I Don't Know These People #45

It seems like an easy enough mistake to make, but still.

Basic

Acids and bases weren't the topic, in case it seems like the joke was just the subject itself.

Dance Request

This was on the same day Jaggedtuft told Driftspots it was weird to pet his hair immediately after petting Driftspots' hair.

My Hair

Actually, I'm allowed to worry about my hair for whatever reason(s) I want. But whatever. Still funny.

Not My Phone

So sassy.

Squamous

She sounded so satisfied.

Sun Milk

We had come across a word in our German homework that, literally translated, meant sun milk (its actual meaning is sunscreen or suntan lotion).

Curlers

I have naturally curly hair and I curled it, yet it's suddenly adamantly remaining straight.

Hate Significant Figures

I wish that had canceled getting the points back from his corrections.

Vomit

She spat out the water because of Juncoflight's suggestion to picture Jaggedtuft without a shirt.

Watch

Wow, so cool.

Wax Free

That's the flat doughnut.

After Six

He said this while our class was silent (after the sub told us there was "no cause for mirth" when we were all laughing at our Secret Meme Session [in the Google Doc we were all working on]). Update: I now know this is a meme, but he said it absolutely void of context during an extended silence. It wasn’t even in the Secret Meme Session document, only out loud.

Blue On Blue

I know it's not pictured (mainly because I couldn't get it to work), but he was wearing jeans as well. Blue shirt, blue jacket, blue jeans.

Melon

She wasn't happy with her selfies.

Sustained

It was sheet music, and the word did indeed mean "sustained."

The Princess And The Frog

The frog hops away. She didn't even realize what she had said.

Wild Mushrooms

She meant onions.

Beds

Specifically bedrock.

Gift Shop

He was serious.

Seal Pup

Aniplume thought my confusion was hilarious.

Six

How do you botch that joke?

Sunset

He tried. Several times, in fact. I didn't get to see any of his sunsets, though, because he kept erasing them.

Bleach, Part Two

He really is terrible. Also, as I clicked the edit button to add this set of comics to the post, my cat kept nudging my arm onto the delete button instead.

Concentrate

Nice.

Done

Speaking of which, I can make a cake that tastes really good...but unfortunately it falls apart and sticks to greased nonstick pans.

Lift

He's so tall.

Raisins

This was her explanation of why our circle wasn't a circle.

Stand

Crowspots urged him to stand up, but he refused.

Toga

This was on our school announcements.

Transmission

This was his addition to the conversation about football field turf bits.

Whistling

Honestly that was a relief; whistling hurts my head.

Yam

This was the only sentence of their conversation I heard, but apparently what happened was that Mousefern sent Spiderfang's family a selfie Spiderfang had taken with the caption "She looks like a potato" and Spiderfang was reading aloud what her dad had replied.

Best Minute

Celebrate 2:38 every day at 2:38.

Chairs

I think this means musclesxchairs is canon now (Lynxtuft=Muscles).

Gentleman

Yes, the entire year, not just 1983.

Giving Rat

The explanation would require German, sorry.

Go To Bed

Same.

Good One

I feel like I messed up Shadowmist's design--did she have black tips on the forehead spikes? Oh well.

Seductive

To get the full effect it has to be said in Brackenclaw's seductive, but not low, voice.

Taller

I photoshopped a stock photo so that the man in the picture (titled Side View of a Young Successful Businessman, I believe) had legs like this. He is very tall now. I also added another 150 to the comics: that's a lot of 150s!

A Bag

Fake fingernails from a dance, I think.

Better

She didn't mean to say it that way.

I Don't Know These People #46

Oh no(?)!

I Don't Know These People #47

I kept hearing peals of laughter (orange peels, that is).

I Don't Know These People #48

He was gesturing down one long hallway with one group of people gathered in it.

I Don't Know These People #49

Overheard at a dance, just like the previous comic.

I Don't Know These People #50

But it's pretty hard to avoid.

Mediocre

A singular mediocre. As opposed to a quasiplural mediocre.

Son

Who names someone Son?

Toga, Part Two

Turns out we were going to have a toga day at school.

Bow Hair

He did throw it away for her.

Copped

Potassium permanganate.

Ding

But then the announcements came back on.

Exorcise

Magpiestreak is Spiderfang's little sister.

Horse

I don't remember the context, but this was at the dance.

Node Of Ranvier

What a scary costume. Maybe that's what I should be for Halloween.

Onesies

I didn't want to put Hotel Pillow's line in the beginning, but Jackalclaw's part makes sense on its own.

Raisins, Part Two

She wanted her friend to be closer.

Tea Guy

He likes AC/DC, guns, bleach, tea, Gray's Anatomy, and Downton Abbey.

Umlauts

How mysterious.

A

She had told us to write the sentence "He wanted an A in his class" in German.

Broken Dolls

Of course, I have a leg up on her when it comes to puns. She handed me that one.

Ceiling

His SmartBoard projector broke weeks ago, so he's been using an older projector since then.
Dog Hat

Knowing Crowspots, he might only have been wearing it for the opportunity to make that joke.

Eight

Only for a few weeks.

French Chef

His show, Emeraldheart v. France, in which he takes on a different French chef each week in a cooking competition with Ashtail as his assistant, is the most popular TV show worldwide. You probably all watch it every night.

Love Math

It was written on someone's calculator.

Olmecs

Turns out Adderbite and I were wrong, too, but at least we were close...unlike almanacs.

Quenched

Not sure how that's a problem, unless he's calling himself a flame.

University

Great costume.

Answer

And Mountainfur got all his answers from me.

Banks

Oh well.

Bleach, Part Three

She was panicking, and it was the only thing she could think to do.

Close But No

I don't know the context.

Decades

Later he said year 38, which would be fourth decade. Once he even said the thirty-third decade, although that was just a mistake in saying third.

Decades, Part Two

Brindlefoot is not good at making calculator programs.

Focusing

Not at all.

Pookie

Yes, Rockfang is Pookie in that class.

Silent Movie

So much for subtlety. This was years ago.

Thin Lockers

Legends speak of the sacred treasure hidden within that school, but none have ever dared seek it and lived to tell the tale...

Coffee

Coffee is...such a beautiful name?

Happy Halloween

It's Halloween!

Maple Syrup

Long story.

That Year

Great job, Slick!

This Shoe

Scary.

Untied

The worst threat!

A Problem

And only has one room! With no furniture!

Added

According to my math teacher, I should be spending 19 hours a day on school-related things.

Powdered Wig

The overture to a Handel piece.

Words

1100 comics! Once a teacher accidentally gave me 1100% on an assignment instead of 100%. My grade went to about 200% for the quarter until she fixed it.

Sycamore Leaf

I choose to believe he kept the leaf.

Chicago School

Sullivan the architect. My dad mixed up "school" with "form follows function."

Old Shirt

Because that's what classic means.

Rolls

Cinnamon rolls.

You Know

Wow, really?

At Camp

Poor Mallowfang. Apparently he had to do just about all of the work because everyone else was lazy.

Brotherhood

Sadly, admittance is closed. They walked like this for a while, even while crossing the road.

Caveman

He was talking about when Adderbite and I would sit on the desk behind Emeraldheart and Jaggedtuft and poke them with pencils and plastic sharks.

Describing A Play

Sounds like a thrilling play.

Eating Leeches

Still, if some of them were licorice, I'm impressed.

Fleas

Apparently she wasn't even looking up fleas; someone had posted a picture of one on Instagram for no apparent reason.

Football

I can't stand this teacher, and it sure doesn't help that he's now been going after Brindlefoot's emotions.

Happy Holidays

And a grouchy new year.

In The Library

That's really helpful, Nighttail.

Mailman

I'm pretty sure it sounds more like Jackalclaw.

Person

Yeah, that happens to me all the time.

Pupa

Pupitar is a Pokémon.

Quotes

Oh no?

Ruins

Well, he's right.

The Cheetos

Sure.

Viola

That sounds painful.

Binder

What I meant was that I had an extra binder for her.

Brothers

They had been complaining earlier. Also, I can't draw perspective or keep things to scale to save my life.

I Don't Know These People #51

This person was in the same group as the one from the last two IDKTPs.

I Don't Know These People #52

Lock?

I Don't Know These People #53

I hate "punny."

I Don't Know These People #54

That's definitely it.

I Don't Know These People #55

Know what I hate? Having to stick in HTML code for every comic and then it messing itself up every time I update. Not fun.

Water Fountain

I mean...he didn't.

Seventy

Impressive!

Accidentally

He fixed it for a while, but it fell apart in my hands a few weeks later. Also, we all saw him deliberately yank it apart. He didn’t mean to break it (he was being a future engineering student), but really?

Bag of Skittles

Well, maybe that's why they were still there.

Barista

She passed out the coffee to the others.

Bask

He's so tall.

Copper Wire

Nice choice of wording.

Digging

Well, it was an impressive hole, I guess.

I Don't Know These People #56

The big one-five.

I Don't Know These People #57

This was the best part of the Renaissance festival.

I Don't Know These People #58

I have no idea.

I Don't Know These People #59

Apparently Adderbite saw the yogurt aftermath, but neither of us knows what actually happened.

I Don't Know These People #60

Tomorrow, I’ll be more like...linguine!

Klingon

She spoke it to out-nerd Wednesday Shirt and to irritate me. What she's saying means "I love you."

Past Few Days

Same.

Photo Appreciation

I'm sure he loved the pictures.

Rebel

So edgy.

Surge

Apparently Surge is really rare, at least in this area (I don't like soda and am allergic to oranges, so I have no reason to search for it). We stopped for milkshakes, and he just had a feeling that this would be "one of the ten stores that still sell it!" Again, I don't know personally whether it's as rare as he says, but he's apparently been searching for a while now.

Tennessee

Hilarious.

The Goonies

I'm a detective now.

The Other

How specific.

Tie

Yeah, how dare you, Deerblaze?

Age

Great job.

Ball Of Talking

Oh well.

Bigger Person

Not by that much.

Blocking

How tough.

Boil

Potatoes.

Bond

By the way, if the colors look different...yeah, I'm having trouble with the different computer. Sorry.

Change

It sounds disorienting.

Engineer

She was talking about mascots.

Exhaustion Method

Well, he is right.

I Don't Know These People #61

This was one of a group of four people I heard playing Monopoly. Their conversations were gold.

I Don't Know These People #62

Same group of people.

I Don't Know These People #63

Wow, I'm so impressed?

I Don't Know These People #64

And here's the fourth person.

I Don't Know These People #65

He got his chance eventually.

I Don't Know These People #66

I'm...not sure.

I Don't Know These People #67

Yes, it was.

I Don't Know These People #68

He was pretty grossed out.

I Don't Know These People #69

Great idea.

I Don't Know These People #70

Just one.

Macbeth

That was great timing.

Sacks

Of course.

Spinning Vent

Thanks for the clarification.

Starfish

Delicious.

Tie, Part Two

Perfect sense.

Wrestler

Too bad.

A Romantic Song

Jackalclaw actually has a pretty nice singing voice.

Another Doughnut

Yeah, come on, Mallowfang.

Beat Up

I know no one will be broken up over this, but I misjudged the amount of time it would take me to finish this set of comics; that's why I'm posting them eight days early. Yeah.

Chili

Mallowfang eats infinite junk food at lunch.

Compliment

Wow, I'm flattered.

Doll

Brackenclaw is strange.

Dress Shopping

I'm not sure if I know how to shop dress.

Enthralled

Same.

Folded Post-It Note

For anyone who hasn't gotten to imaginaries yet, the square root of negative one is represented by the letter "i," so it says, "I love math."

Girly Eyes

I'm going to ignore that last part of Spiderfang's story and just admit that Slick does have pretty eyes. "My eyes are pretty!" - Jaggedtuft 2013

Hot Wife

Oh, yeah, searching "hot wife" couldn't go wrong.

Iambic Pentameter

I think this happened because Deerblaze was joking about becoming a poet, but I might be misremembering.

Imperfection

Wow.

Like The Sun

Close enough.

Loves

That teacher...definitely shipped us.

My Heart

Also, I certainly hope her heart doesn't spill. We were preparing to play Sardines.

Not Real

Well, okay.

Pearly Whites

This year we were out of my oreo sprinkles and jam spreader bought another can! I like to put them in ice cream. I don't eat them very often, though.

Pumpkin Cider

Hey look guys see it has the word "love" in it it's totally relevant to Valentine's Day!!! ...Which is eight days from now, but that's okay. I tried.

Valentine Scarf

I just wish I could have seen his face if she'd said it.

Valentine's Day 2015

That was a fun day.

Valentine's Day 2015, Part 2

Aspfang's valentine was sealed all around the edges with the heart stickers but completely blank inside; he stuffed it in someone else's locker without opening it. Slick's valentine was sealed with Scotch tape but had nine heart stickers inside; he refused to accept it. Brackenclaw's valentine was "from Adderbite and Adderbite actually my name is Hollyfrost." We gave some other people valentines, too, but those are the only really relevant ones. Except for...

Valentine's Day 2015, Part 3

Stonefrost's. And Jackalclaw's, which was the big valentine (intended for a teacher). Which turned out to be a mistake.

Valentine's Day 2015, Part 4

He tried to get his valentine in Stonefrost's nose for about ten minutes. He also suggested Stonefrost's ear.

Walk

That's eight 150s. Wow!

Absolute Zero

I always grade in Kelvins.

Barcode

Thanks.

Battery

Good.

Discrete Math

Don't worry, this was the same day as the last time I drew him in that outfit. He didn't wear it a second time.

Idioms

Is he over here or over there?

Jam

She had just beaten an apparently particularly hard level of Candy Crush. Yes, I do now call her jam spreader.

Jam, Part Two

She meant she didn't know the French word for it, but still.

Less Homework

Yeah, blessed with great looks and great homework patterns.

Library Card

I get what he meant, but it still sounds funny.

Lizzie

Lizzie is a really cute cat.

Mints

Aniplume is always eating.

My Mess

I found this quote written down by Jayflight and Emberheart on a note to Rosefall.

New Rule

Nice. "No biting," "no kicking," "no attempting to break fingers," "no looking up things I tell (them) not to look up," and "no crawling under the table" are now rules, too.

Ooh Snap

This became a saying for him and Adderbite for a while.

Ostriches
I don't understand.

P

I can't BELIEVE this joke translated to cat names. Inkspot is the person whose name became something funny (or at least funny to fourth grade Nighttail). It wasn't inappropriate, but I can't say what the real name/word was because it would give away his name.

Page

Sorry it got all pixelated.

Skittles

Oh, Nighttail.

Sleeping Bags

I feel like I missed a speckle or two, but I was using a comic as a reference...

Slick

Slick has actually really grown on me this year. Not at the beginning (although he's always been entertaining), but he's actually nice now.

Spindly

Congratulations!

Sporty

He plays baseball.

Urban Meyer

One of his motivation things was about a guy who, I don't remember, reflected on his performance and was still Tough Football Guy in the shower or something like that.

Weather Map

Papa Smurf is dead!

Why Math

Uh, I don't know...

A Box

We thought they were spiders because they were having difficulty in the water, but eventually it settled out and they turned out to be water striders. This is the box Birchthroat suggested she put down.

All Right

Apparently she says this a lot.

Cinder Blocks

"They're BIG bricks."

Cold Drink

Yes, because that's how physics work.

Dice

He loves his dice. I correctly guessed where they were hidden, but I didn't attempt to look there, since that would have made me look guilty.

Dice, Part Two

He almost gave us a pop quiz since no one could find them.

Dice, Part Three

He did give his fifth period a pop quiz, since of course none of them could find them either.

Dice, Part Four

Mothcloud wanted to go with her for moral support, but the teacher didn't let her.

Dice, Part Five

So sneaky.

Dice, Part Six

The teacher's response was that he would loosen all the screws in Brackenclaw's chair.

Dots

Lewis dot structures.

Euchre Class

Math last year.

Fives

They were talking about Branchfoot.

Frustum

Ice cream still sounds like a good idea to me.

Fulfilling

January 26th.

Graphing Calculators

I think I'm the one who called them mathulators once.

Montessori

I'm sure it did.

Moped

Yes, this is the same teacher from pages ago. I don't have her this year, either.

Mud
She was explaining why she only wanted to walk in the mud on the way to the restaurant and not on the way back to school.

Sorry

As you can tell, a lot of chemistry work definitely gets done during class.

Elevator Tag

The teacher could not understand why anyone would play that.

Target

How helpful. "That other place" was probably Kohl's.

Warm

I originally heard this entirely without context, but he and his friends were talking about some game involving throwing shaving cream.

Wolverine

She drew some Nightmare Fuel-type pictures of the people sitting nearby using all six pencils at once.

Yodeling

That does not sound like a world I want to visit.

Asleep

Nice.

Bidding Cacti

I don't know why they were bidding cacti.

Disciplinary Record

When even Elmwhisker is concerned you know there's a problem.

Elf
Poor Eveningpelt.

England

AP U.S. History, everyone.

Fiji Water

Poor Deerblaze.

Fiji Water, Part Two
That's sad.

Free Periods

He said it in German; he mixed up the word meaning "hour" (aka class hour) with one of the words meaning "pirate," since the word for "pirate" sounds more like "period" than the word for "hour" does.

Green Day

We're all such hipsters.

Nerds

Jackalclaw's a strange person. I passed him in the hallway once and overheard him explaining string theory in detail. And then there are things like the valentine incident.

On Wednesday

I heard this from a teacher or maybe a janitor somewhere in the hallway while I was in class.

Password

The German for "Batman sunglasses" had been written on the board in the German classroom, although I didn't know it was at all connected to her. It was just the longest word I could think of at the time. And yes, I guessed it in German, not English, but old forum rules once again triumphed over linguistic accuracy.

Penguin

He waddled around and stumbled into Adderbite.

Photosynthesis

For consistency's sake I should probably have made the background gray; it was dark in the gym. We were at a different school, "exploring."

Prancing

She was prancing.

Projectile Motion

He had been summoned to talk about golf for the announcements or something.

Regression

Let it never be said that I don't make comics just for an excuse to draw the expressions.

Restroom

I hope so.

Row Two

Creekwhisker meant because they were the only full row.

Secretly

I like Skullcandy earbuds.

Send

Through a phone, yes, that'll work.

Sims Three

Their whole friendship is like this, apparently.

Such A Mess
At least they can commiserate.

Tie, Part Three

Crowspots is so helpful.

Waving

He had a cowlick sticking up all day.

Arsonist

I almost made this comment say, "I think this is their entire friendship." Then I realized that was my comment for one of the comics in the last update.

Curtsy

I feel like the stripes on her arm were supposed to be thicker, but I don't care.

Elevator

Of course he just rode it right back up, but I hope he felt betrayed.

Explain

Slick: And...I...just...talked over you. I see. (Confession: I said this instead of explaining because I was pretty confident that he knew more about relativity than I did.)

Extinction

The dying definitely dies out.

Fireplace

Look! Almost-halfway-decent fire! That's a first for me! We were filming for a German project.

Go Fish

Jackalclaw is great.

I Don't Know These People #71

I hope it's clear enough--he ran (biked?) directly into it. And apparently not for the first time.

I Don't Know These People #72

Yes, because they're made of brains.

I Don't Know These People #73

See, the problem is that this was in the third floor bathroom, not the first.

I Don't Know These People #74

Good idea.

I Don't Know These People #75

I have no idea what the context was.

Ice Cube

Crowspots is a meme.

Lots Of

Eh, same thing, really.

Projector

Why did I make Jackalclaw so hard to draw? I mean, I know it was because I never expected to have a class with him, but still.

Rude

I'm pretty sure he said Mr. Bean, although it could have been something that sounded similar, because he broke off abruptly when Deerblaze karate-chopped the paper.

Science Experiment

They just looked so unimpressed.

Skipping A Team

Important distinction.

Someone We Know

He didn't notice us at all.

Spaceman

Just in case any of you are judging Jackalclaw, he has extensive knowledge of string theory and rocket science (and I have to assume other topics as well) and got a 5 on the Calculus AB AP exam without taking the class, so...yeah. That's just him.

Struggling

Poor Brindlefoot. He hasn't been quite so mean to her lately, though. And I have to admit her struggles with the calculator are pretty entertaining.

Suffocate

I thought he said "them," not "then."

Ten

I didn't think that would be correct, but I didn't know where to begin trying to solve the problem.

The Small Boy
It's officially a song, but there's no tune or background music.

Wolverine, Part Two

Those are those little pretzel stick things. I am the best Wolverine. This is the part where you all agree with me because this is the 1300th comic.

A Tale Of Two Minties

Twelfth Mint? Did you mean Aniplume?

Behind

Toga Day.

Calculus

He misjudged the number of doughnuts in the bag.

Count

This was part of a thing for German.

Forty Minutes

Oh well.

I Don't Know These People #76

Of course!

I Don't Know These People #77

They sounded in complete disbelief.

I Don't Know These People #78

She was holding a whole bag full of grapes. About half an hour later I walked through there again. There was a grape on the ground.

I Don't Know These People #79

Yes, potatoes are definitely sponges.

I Don't Know These People #80

That's wonderful.

Insured

It was Crowspots's calculator and had his signature on it.

Letter Grades

This is a memory I have from first grade. Apparently E is a grade if you're homeschooled, but I think Juniperpelt was talking about Harry Potter.

Wednesday Shirt

She meant the literal shirt, but I don't think that's how Wednesday Shirt interpreted it.

Pants

She also added a lot of pictures to the same document, including a camel wearing clothes.

Sass

He has a handful of phrases like that he uses. Mostly directed toward me.

Send, Part Two

He took the photo on Toga Day.

Smarter

Not helping, Spiderfang.

Solve

This is Adderbite's math teacher. She likes to look him up on my computer in hopes that my parents will see it in the search history.

Thump

I forgot her forehead spot. I knew there was something off about it. Oh well.

Only Two Words

Yes, two.

Unicorn

This is what he wore for Toga Day.

Upping The Ante

I forget what the bet was actually about, but Mountainfur was discussing making a bet with the teacher (the lightish brown tabby math teacher) because of a story the teacher had told. He had made a bet with Mintwhisker when she said she thought she could get heads three times in a row. The bet grew afterward, and he ended up having to pay her a lot of chili because she got heads nine times in a row.

Weather Forecasts

Mountainfur looks like Jim from The Office.

What Are You Doing

Hey, at least this time when I designed the extra-fancy cat I already knew I'd be drawing him more than once.

Without

Yeah, he sounded thrilled.

A Cow

Awww.

Beaker

I was getting the hot plate down, and the cord flopped off the plate and knocked the beaker off the counter. Miraculously I didn't get any glass in my feet despite being in sandals.

Broken Phone

Yes, she did mean her phone.

Conductor

The teacher came back shortly afterward.

Counting Chickens

That might not have been the idiom he used, but it's close enough and equally irrelevant.

Expand

There were a couple people absent.

Fireplace, Part Two

This particular recording was the one that made it into our final project.

Full Glass

Good point,

Gooses

NERD BURN!

Grease

It was fairly close to a rap. The pizza was late.

I Don't Know These People #81

The gray-and-white one was holding the cream-and-white one in place.

I Don't Know These People #82

Yeah, it would be just my luck to be replaced.

I Don't Know These People #83

It was a torn bill, just in case my drawing isn't so clear.

I Don't Know These People #84

I'm sure she'd love that!

I Don't Know These People #85

I don't remember their names, but these were two of the kids at the art class I volunteer at (they were a while ago, though). They were brothers, and they would sing about anything and everything.

Mariah Carey

So apparently that's this year's locker room music for (American) football games/practices.

Milkshake

What a clever costume! I know Halloween was a long time ago, but oh well.

On The Roof

Sorry about all the small text; I should have extended it to six panels, but I liked the positioning in the third panel (and the art in the fourth) too much to remake it.

Relative Prepositions

That's because relative prepositions are exciting.

Relief

It looked very well rehearsed. Not natural by any means, but very deliberate and perfectly in time.

Six Words

He went on to explain how many more layers of sadness it had than the older one.

The Worst Thing

I did not have any context for this; Carrottuft's voice has a tendency to carry sometimes.

Unicorn, Part Two
Halloween again.

Up

Moorshadow was Carl; a girl who doesn't have a warrior name was Kevin. Also, yes, the buttons on Mallowfang's sash were colored and in the correct three rows; I couldn't fit three and forgot to color them in, but they're not really important anyway.

Volunteer

That would be really helpful. Also, this is nine 150s. Wow, that's a lot of 150s! ...It actually is kind of a lot of 150s...

A Break

Thanks for the clarification. No, I don't know what he was talking about.

Angie

She didn't appreciate when I pointed out Harry Potter wasn't realistic. Confirmed: Harry Potter is not a character! (Also, Angie is the book Emberheart was reading at the time. The title is The Last Best Kiss.)

Black And White

The movie was Sweet Home Alabama. I know it's not a black and white movie, but her TV was doing something weird. We also watched The Parent Trap in black and white.

Cusses

He has a heart and soul?

Defeat

Ritz Bits. They were really gross. I ate most of them while complaining about how gross they were. Mousefern, Spiderfang, and Copperpelt kept telling me to stop eating them, but I couldn't. They were awful. Don't ever eat Ritz Bits.

Disturbing

It was a lab.

Dorsi

I can't say I've ever had that problem. It probably helps that I've never needed to remember the latissimus dorsi for more than a week or two.

Expression

The most important invention of our time.

Fahrenheit

451, actually.

Fortune 500

As tall as two mountains stacked on top of each other!

Free Cookie

Mousefern gave the cookie to someone, but she told him it had been on the sidewalk, so he threw it away.

Genetics

I can't believe I never knew Deerblaze was a meme.

Green

We do now.

Hates Chemistry

That's my mouse handwriting.

Leafblower

A new reason to learn to play the viola.

Medieval

This was his part of an introduction video.

Make It Rain

Breakfast was free.

My Sport

I'm sure that will be the deciding factor in the match.

Projector, Part Two

Poor Brindlefoot.

Sleeping Legs

They came around the corner at the right moment.

Slice

Spiderfang was kind of in his way. She liked this line, though he’s apparently a real jerk toward her and Clovernose.

Split The Fraction

Do, a deer, a female deer...

Third

Except as a cat. Everyone has a hairy (or furry, I guess) chest in this comic.

Upper Peninsula

Sounds like a real adventure.

Who Are They

Definitely. Unfortunately, I'll never meet the admissions requirements for Tall People College University, so I'll never be able to participate in their research programs.

Blowhole

I think he was saying that it would be safe for Jackalclaw to put his bag over his head and be a spaceman.

Capri Suns

She hasn't been to my house in years, but the first thing she mentioned was the stash of Capri Suns. It's still going.

Compound Words

Yes, he was singing.

DJ Khaled Video

This is the worst thing.

Free Cookie, Part Two

Spiderfang just about always spills her soda.

Geniuses

History repeats itself...he is a mini Jaggedtuft. Jaggedtuft never said this (that I know of), but I can imagine it clearly.

Hermione

She wanted to be Hermione Granger from Harry Potter.

Important Question

She remembered it after a few seconds (I just stared at her).

Just In Case

I don't know what kind of emergency calls for tie-dye pants, but he'll be ready.

Mariah Carey, Part Two

I guess that's good for getting pumped up for a match, but it's not quite the right game...

Monkey Bars

I'm so impressed.

On The Road

A little like Tigerpelt. Although in Driftspots's defense, it was quite a while later.

One

Yeah, sure, no more math for Jackalclaw. No one believes that.

Ostriches, Part Two

I don't know what his hangup about ostriches is.

Proposal

"I'm engaged!" - Squeaktalon that same year

Purple

The paper marker works really well!

Sassafras

I don't think there was any context; he just said it.

Shoes Off

Poor Nightingaleswoop.

Six Hundred

I timed it well.

Strong Word

I'm not sure whether that's an answer, Stonefrost...

To The Sun

I don't remember the full plan, unfortunately, but it definitely involved jumping into the sun.

Touchdown

Long story.

Trickling

Those are definitely the lyrics.

Two Years

Oh, Brackenclaw.

Variables

Solve for t if t=2x-3. Also, this is comic number 175x+140t. I'm sorry.

Alive

Me too.

Board Manager

Or maybe a mega-student.

Etch

What a great joke.

Fruit Snacks

Just one taste...

Handbasket

A ham basket.

I Don't Know These People #86

Yay! Exciting!

I Don't Know These People #87

That's so gross?

I Don't Know These People #88

He sounded so reverent.

I Don't Know These People #89

I don't know whether the person and their brother are actually twins or if they were just "twinning" that day. Either way it's funny.

I Don't Know These People #90

Maybe if you bleed graphite.

Kentucky

That's the answer.

Kung Pao Chicken

It wasn't relevant at all.

Lois

"The list" is a list of ten people to use in ten-character memes.

Long Or Short Hair

Owlclaw: Thanks.

Made My Day

It didn't just make her day--it made it happen in the first place.

Mom Car

Something like that.

No Computer

There will be a follow-up...

Pros Of Social Media

It's said "Memes" for a couple of months now.

Secretariat

teacher: Then he'd be a fun guy.

Suns

Did you know an entire mole of lions wouldn't beat the sun in terms of either mass or volume?

The Whale

It was some gif, I think.

Tossing

The directions in the music say that one part has to be sultry. I won the sultry violin award (there was no real award but she joked about there being one) for my playing.

Up, Part Two

I guess it's not that funny, but it was important.

Video Games

teacher: I mean video games.

What Kind Of Kid

Yeah, what kind of kid crosses the road?

Agatha Christie

Or elsewhere.

Dead Body

They were playing Manhunt.

Dorian

He was trying to do a face-swap with the cover of The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Dry Puns

Not sure if that wording quite makes sense, but oh well.

Flippy Pen

I mean, for anyone who knows Flippy Pen, that's all the description they need.

Gravy

She was going to try to bring "groovy" back.

Happy

I forgot when designing Murretail that she would look a lot like Lynxtuft in the sketches. Also, the image code for this comic actually has the entire word "chalk" in it!

Honor Orchestra

Slick may love the Inheritance cycle, but at least we can agree that Tolkien is boring.

Ileum

That's exactly what she said.

Legally Blonde

I'd like to hear the plot for that one.

Misses

Butterflyspark comes in every day to eat lunch with them. I don't really know her, but that's okay.

Muscular

Muscles is the most muscular.

No Computer, Part Two

He said it with such dismay, and understandably so.

No Work

Hopflower: ABOUT CHEMISTRY MOSTLY!

Persistent Problem

Can't believe that didn't help.

Plants For Hire

Good job.

Push In Your Chairs

Nor did he go back to push it in after she asked.

Rosin

Rosin is a thing you put on the bows for stringed instruments to make the sound quality better.

Rubber Bands

I was talking about the patterns for tabletops where it looks like three different colors of rubber bands were just flung down onto the table.

Sodas

Also refer to Free Cookie, Part Two.

Tripped

I don't feel bad, but I guess poor Stonefrost? And yeah, that one is Stonefrost.

Two Girls

They were mostly successful.

Union

She said it that way by accident.

Watches

Fun fact: Swiftstripe is named Swiftstripe because it sounds like Sweet Stripes, a brand of peppermint candies he liked.

Well

Maybe the frogs are his family.

Albert Schweitzer

Hilarious.

Camping

I mean, maybe Nettleface needs Rustpatch to camp. You never know.

Candles

This was one of three comic scripts I found in a notebook from three years ago. They were hidden away about 3/4 of the way through the notebook; aside from that, only the first few pages had anything on them. I can't believe I opened to the right page.

Coal

Sounds like a really fun game.

Dirt

I'm sure I've described Creekwhisker's Minecraft house, but I can't find it looking back through the comics, so...Creekwhisker's house has some well-lit underground tunnels and a room with glass windows. But that's not the important part. The important part is that the aboveground part is on an almost-island (you can walk diagonally across the sand blocks to get there, but only corner to corner)--an island surrounded by fountains of lava streaming out of the air. The perimeter of the island is entirely on fire, and there are torches everywhere. It seems Creekwhisker enjoys fire.

Eaten

I'm not sure how you accidentally watch that kind of movie. Maybe she turned it on and it was already at that scene? I would think that any movie with that kind of plot would be clearly discernible as maybe not what you want to be watching before you even get there.

Eliminate

See, Brackenclaw was right, she's terrifying.

Fourth Roots
That isn't a typo; it's how he pronounced it.

Free Cookie, Part Three

...They gave us free cookies. They shouldn't have.

Grab

She hadn't spoken to me for a long time, so I wasn't expecting her to grab me in the hallway.

How Much Homework

I guess it's a valid question.

I Don't Know These People #91

left cat: Good.

I Don't Know These People #92

This person's voice sounded just like Birchthroat's, but when I looked behind me, Birchthroat wasn't there at all. So he has a sound-alike.

I Don't Know These People #93

I think the answer was "lahar."

I Don't Know These People #94

It was said with such enthusiasm.

I Don't Know These People #95

They...they were having a conversation with each other. I don't know how "striped sweaters" is at all a valid response to that, but...who knows.

In The Newspaper

I don't remember what it was for. Nothing important. Nothing bad.

League

It's a reference to a movie.

Letters And Numbers

That's fair considering it's Macawstep, but Slick, come on.

Motivational Video

There was an ad before the video started.

Pretty Flower

Definitely.

Shopping Cart

He works there.

So Tired

I guess she's living backward?

Widget

Maybe Harry Potter is the stat wizard who does wizardry with stat stuff!

Work On

No one ever does any work. Especially Mintwhisker, Macawstep, and Slick.

Albino Crocodile

He sounded pretty defeated.

Basil

Oh well.

Commitment

Yes, that's definitely necessary.

Etymology

"The question is, which ones are we talking about?" - Brackenclaw 2012

Harvard

Adderbite agreed.

Heal

Then again, Nightingaleswoop rules the underworld, so I guess she can come back to life whenever.

Heather

I noticed that she called me Heather, but I'm used to replying to names that aren't mine.

Hit

I don't know what he was talking about.

Itching

He got to go back and get the banana.

Knocks

The first half of the sentence was said in German and the second in English.

Law Of Cosines

I mean, same, really.

Logic

I don't remember what the conversation was.

Longer

No one knew what smelled bad.

Lunch Ladies

It appears the lunch ladies ate the cupcakes our teacher brought for the class.

Magma

I wasn't there to witness this, but he claims he screamed this at his TV.

Not On Fire

There was a fire drill.

Once Or Twice

The teacher hates the idea of spring break.

Peanut Butter

I'm not sure how this was at all relevant. Or true. We have peanut butter, but not a lot of it, and it belongs to the whole family.

Professional Opinion

I think Moraystripe had said that he had gotten up too early.

Protons

It was Brackenclaw, so he might as well have.

Sniff

Mumbletail was just sticking his face in them.

Sock Monkey

Jackalclaw was working on really complicated math.

Thursday

Seriously?

Trust Issues

There's a very small window of time to eat them.

Younger

1500! That's a whole lot of 150s! Heatherpelt: Wow, I'm so good at insults.
