Part Four: 102% Besties
COMICS 1501-1600
All Week
He grunted and rolled his eyes.
Any Scale
Yeah.
Clue
We played twice in teams. Jewelfang is really good at Clue, so our group won both times.
Coconut
No, I don't know what that means. Maybe the person she was talking to had hair that made their head look like a coconut?
Communicate
Nor is it 1983.
Favorite Fairy Tale
I'm willing to bet it features lots of apples.
Good Leader
That's promising.
Too Much Hand Sanitizer
Marblenose then put more hand sanitizer on Nogalfur.
Hot Dogs
We overheard a tour guide at a college saying this.
Missing
How scary.
Mondays
She sounded confused.
On Friday
I don't remember what we did.
Same Outfit
He wore all orange…to prom.
Second Period
We're his first period class.
Silly Bands
I don't know if this means that he had silly bands left over from middle school or that he had an extra unopened pack that he opened for that day.
Slice, Part Two
I got it cut really short.
Smidge
This was part of a video he made years ago about how icy it was. I…could believe him making exactly that video (if it were icy) this year. He…hasn't changed.
Stingy
He doesn't want her to get earrings.
String
I'm sure it is.
Strong
Nightingaleswoop is a discus thrower. Jayflight is…Jayflight.
Sunglasses
Poor Macawstep.
The Love Of His Life
Yes, that sounds like a great story.
Tie-Dyeing Shirts
I was absent, but the tie-dye shirts were going to be worth extra credit if we wore them on a certain day, so Adderbite got permission to make one for me in addition to her own.
Trained
For a couple of weeks she would step on his feet as we left our first class (he sat outside the classroom to wait for class change). Eventually he started standing up to wait despite it being the morning. Now he just kind of pathetically kicks at her feet.
Two Eggs
That's a whole lot of omelettes.
Two Pants
She then pulled down one pair so that we could see the second pair of pants underneath them.
A Comic
Here you go.
Anything Silly
Oh well.
Argue
I agree.
Assignment Name
She wore a t-shirt.
Barrier
That's what prevented the princess from wanting the frog on her table and bed.
CAS
In other words, yes.
Class Activities
So Brindlefoot, Killdeerfrost, and Deerblaze?
Excellent
He actually said the name of our school, not the word “school,” but obviously I couldn't put that.
Gone
I don't know why he needed him.
Happy Dog
Lynxtuft's dog is a mini labradoodle.
Her Arm
I hope the art is good enough that you can tell...her arm is folded up inside her jacket.
How To Read A Script
They were the lines that had already been read.
Multiple Choice Six
We had to round up our tests for a binder check.
Mystique
That's definitely what he said.
Pianist
Me?
Sandstorm
This was at prom.
Sherlock Holmes
Deerblaze just sounded so done.
This Tall
Marbledfur can draw really realistic hands. I don't know if she can draw anything other than hands, since I've only ever seen her draw hands, but it's impressive either way.
Tongue-Tied
She always said "There we go" a lot.
Twenty Girls
Adderbite: Honestly, same.
Two Halves
Branchfoot has bananas during math a lot.
Yoga Pants
Poor Maroongale.
You Got
I don't remember the context.
Your Shoes
What could she possibly be talking about?
Alaska
She quickly decided her yard was Russia, because that way she could see Alaska from her yard.
Blue Hair
Well, sorry, I'm shaving it tonight!
Cocoons
Is that not what happens at college?
Decay
I thought of half lives before dead bodies.
Dream House
I wasn't even asking for the crane, but she gave it to me, along with a second one that was slightly different (the original was my summer house and the second my winter house). Someone stole them, so she made more the next day.
Dunk
He's really tall.
German
Neither can I, really.
Glowstick
I wonder how that happened.
I Don't Know These People #96
Both.
I Don't Know These People #97
I don't think they ever found out.
I Don't Know These People #98
She sounded very distraught and repeated this multiple times.
I Don't Know These People #99
I didn't hear the sentence that actually had “lads” in it...
I Don't Know These People #100
...but it sounds as if it didn't make much sense.
I Don't Know These People #101
Or maybe not that easy.
I Don't Know These People #102
That makes a lot of sense. Don't worry, I clarified (they were a little far away; I was sort of between the two pairs, so I could hear Gray Cat, and Beige Cat and Calico Cat could hear me).
I Don't Know These People #103
Not that it helped for very long, because they immediately forgot what I told them.
I Don't Know These People #104
Some little kid said this to Adderbite while in line.
I Don't Know These People #105
Montessori is sort of...fancy preschool, I guess.
In Latin
I believe that problem was already identified.
Sleeptalking
This comic took forever to color. Please note that I eventually realized Zebraheart’s words are the wrong color, but for a while here they’re going to be blue instead of gray! For now I have no plans to change this, but maybe eventually I will.
Smells
We were making candy canes.
Stabbing
This was a long time ago.
Strep Throat
Deerblaze returned a couple days later, evidently not dead.
This Piece
I don't remember the piece.
Worst Kind Of Tests
Essays.
Angle
Elmwhisker was demonstrating how he had broken into the classroom before school started.
Assault
Well, thanks for that clarification.
Balloon Punch
No one got hurt. Jam spreader cleaned up the glass, and we replaced the bulb.
Colleges
That's good, probably.
Dirty Jeans
Oh, Brackenclaw.
Explain It
I explained whatever it was for Swanfire just in case the teacher asked.
Foggy Mountain
“Foggy Mountain Breakdown” is a violin hoedown.
Go For
He blushed a lot and couldn't explain how he actually did mean it.
Hoodie
The candy cane was in there for a while.
In The Sun
She meant tan.
Jiggy With It
Liar!
Knoxville
Knoxville is in Tennessee.
Limaçon
Sorry my limaçon is so crooked.
Memes, Part Three
What a relief.
Need Any Help
That might as well be me.
Open The Door
It was part of the script he and Rustpatch made. He said it in monotone.
Piece Of Me
Gross, yes, but for a second grader it was actually relatively witty.
Quack
He was pretending to be a frog. The German onomotopoeia for croaking is pretty much “quack” (it's spelled and pronounced a little differently, but it's basically “quack”), but even with that knowledge he just said it in such a flat voice and he was waddling more like a duck.
Ready
He's really smart, but he doesn't study or work at all.
Shadow
This was shortly after Groundhog Day.
Texas Instruments Michael
The title of this comic is “Texas Instruments Michael” because that's what TIM stands for. Not, as someone suggested, Texas Instruments Machine.
Underwater Wrestling
Well, that sounds...fun.
Vacuum Cleaner
Poor vacuum cleaner.
Wolverine, Part Three
But I'm Wolverine.
Yak
1600!
COMICS 1601-1700
AP Scale
Well, I guess it is important.
Arms
That's great.
Backing Up
Poor Mothcloud.
Big Packet
A classic example of “spoke too soon.”
Blue Marker
Some of it actually wiped off when he put his fingers on his face.
Calculator Program
That's really helpful.
Chapter
Fair enough.
Cheese Coneys
I don't know the results of the bet.
Chunkage
“Chunk” is a pretty bad word.
Dab
Success, sort of.
Dad
Her dad probably just shares the same name.
In Time
Detailed Face Guy!
Licking
Poor Nightingaleswoop.
Minion Movie
Why.
National Merit
Does this qualify as another nerd burn? It's not the nerd doing the burning.
Off Again
That's a little extreme.
Order Of The Phoenix
I used to read a lot. Not so much anymore.
Part C
That's definitely why he was asking.
Shades Of Gray
I think he was talking about answers in math.
Sleeptalking, Part Two
We actually had this conversation (with slight variations) at least twenty times. I convinced her that Lifesavers saved lives the first time through. Tallspring has also given her apples and Oreos. She claimed that Tallspring gave her the apples before Adderbite because he liked her more, but apparently he actually gave Adderbite the apples first.
Stealth Mode
It's probably not a good idea to announce it.
Trip
That sounds like a really exciting trip.
Vanilla Ice Cream
It happened to be my birthday; it was also the teacher's.
White Shirt
Well, that's because he's Jackalclaw.
Worst Nightmare
I'm sure it was scary, but it sounds funny.
A Bunch Of Guys
Brackenclaw: Sorry, Hollyfrost. Oh, Mothcloud's here too? All right.
American
AC/DC is an Australian band that has toured Germany before.
Atticodes
I'm not sure how that came up.
Back Muscles
He was talking to Elmwhisker.
Black On Black
Meaning his underwear. Which, fortunately, we could not see.
Broke Their Shins
I'm not sure of the logistics of that one.
Chemistry Problems
I mean, same.
Die Versus Kill
I'm sure “with a tree” came from somewhere, but I don't know where.
Done Sick
That's impressive.
Drugs
The drugs in question were pretzels Softwillow “stole” from the front of the classroom.
Early Bloomer
Poor Swanfire.
Finish
Sandwich thoughts?
Frankfurter
That could be a problem.
Free Cookie, Part Four
She meant she'd lick her cookie so Spiderfang wouldn't touch it...but it definitely sounded like she was going to lick Spiderfang.
Gonna Wear
I guess that makes sense if she's a trash can?
Grinds
It's not a great word, but it's not the worst.
Hard Video
We were making a German project about Sleeping Beauty (although the German name translates to [/imgthorns little roses,[/img so it probably means [/imgBriar Rose[/img).
Proud Parent
In our video, Tealwhisker was both the king and the queen, as well as one of the princes who fails to rescue the princess. Murretail, Lynxtuft, and I were each one of the twelve fairies. Lynxtuft was also the thirteenth fairy, one of the failure princes, and the mysterious old lady with the spindle. Murretail was also the princess. I was also the successful prince and some random person in the kingdom who fell asleep with an apple in my hand.
River Flows In You
Another song title.
Shirtless
It was a list of “hottest guy names” or something. I think Jayflight's name was on the list. Locustfang, Stonefrost, Dunlinstep, Dingostep, and Duskwhisker's names all scored really high. I'm sure there were plenty of other names of people I knew on the list, but I wasn't really paying much attention.
Shucked
He was adamant that he had shucked it. They went as far as looking up the respective definitions of “shuck” and “peel.”
Smell This Bag
It was a bag of really awful fertilizer.
TGIF
She forgot she was Tuesday Shirt, but I still call her that sometimes.
Whistling Muscles
Lynxtuft whistles a lot.
Working In The Hall
We weren't kicked out; we had the option to work out there. Look, eleven 150s!
Alarm
That's Hotel Pillow over on the right.
April Showers
So I guess it's obvious enough that this happened a month ago?
Burito
He let her continue signing her name as Burito on all her schoolwork.
Eccentricity
In this case, e isn't Euler's number; it's a variable that basically stands for how much longer an ellipse is in one direction than the other, or sort of how flattened it looks (hence squishiness).
Exploring
That sounds exciting.
I Don't Know These People #106
Me neither.
I Don't Know These People #107
Good luck taking the picture.
I Don't Know These People #108
This was at an ice cream shop over spring break.
I Don't Know These People #109
Hey, look, it's Grody Veins. Yay.
I Don't Know These People #110
I spent forever finding a good picture of three baby alligators (for Killdeerfrost) to send to Adderbite.
Interesting Prize
I think they won the pineapple somehow? I'm not sure.
Mellow
She told him to throw the string away, but he didn't.
Mitosis
His voice was so loud (I recognized the voice as the teacher who is the cloudy gray and white cat).
Monkey Bars, Part Two
Deerblaze is missing out.
Moved
...That's not quite what he said.
My Number
This happened a long time ago; I don't remember what the numbers were for.
Need
So do I.
Ooky Spooky
We were playing Mafia in class, and the teacher told him to stop talking since he was already a ghost. He technically complied...in that instead of speaking, he got out his phone and provided a soundtrack. She was okay with this as long as the music was appropriate to the mood (i.e. creepy during “night,” intense during “day”).
Playing Frisbee
That's almost worse.
Psychology
He would make me have that kind of conversation often. The one day I tried going a different route to psychology, he was there on the other floor instead of outside the class where he usually was. Oh well.
Pulled
What a scary thug.
Raincoat
Disclaimer: do not follow Jasperstripe's advice.
Run On
I don't remember the context.
Survive A Day
He was a little later than usual that day. Although he actually has saved someone's life before. I don't know the details, though.
Welcome Back
I think that would be more accurately the dead, not the living.
Another One
The teacher was speaking in German.
Argyle
While I was making this comic, Ashtail mispronounced “argyle” and asked me what it was.
Breaking Out
This was earlier the same morning as the time Elmwhisker demonstrated how to pick the lock with a card. The door was supposed to be locked, but Elmwhisker let everyone in early.
Buddy
That's friendly.
Catcher In The Rye
I'm not sure.
Duet
That's kind of how duets work.
Flying By The Seat Of Your Pants
Good to know.
Four Years Ago
Something like that.
Full Name
Oh well.
How To Read A Script, Part Two
He read his own name.
Just Being
Just being herself, probably?
K Slice
He liked it.
Lunchtime
Once or twice he told Adderbite she couldn't have lunch until she sang that (he's her brother).
Music Genre
Oh, so 4'33”.
New Names
They came up with lots of pairs of nicknames, but I only remember this one and Pablo/Pedro.
Piece Of Gum
Great job.
Presence
He was sitting in Hotel Pillow's seat instead of his own.
Sick
He's a robot too? Maybe he and Slick are in league.
Sleeptalking, Part Three
Pyritethorn was an exchange student.
Special
Too late.
Suns, Part Two
If a whole mole of lions can't stand up to the sun, a million tons of flags have no chance.
Test Day
Apparently “It’s test day, baby!” was something Kestrelfur used to say all the time.
Texas Instruments Michael, Part Two
This was a month or so after the first mention of Terrific TIM's name, which means...it stayed.
Two Phones
I'm sure Murretail could manage an interesting conversation.
Velociraptor
1700 comics!
COMICS 1701-1800
A Card
No, Brindlefoot has no fears.
Arms, Part Two
Sure.
Cherry Tomatoes
In past years we've had more tomato plants than we can actually handle, but this year we haven't had any.
Dating Tips
I had known about Lynxtuft and Melonwhisker for months, but apparently Murretail was not in the loop. Neither was Tealwhisker. I assume Applefoot knew, but I don't think she was part of that conversation.
Disappointing News
This was after prom.
Drew Flowers
He was talking about himself.
Eight To Nine
As in thirteen hours, not one.
Feliz Navidad
This was last year on the last day before winter break. Nighttail continued pushing buttons by repeatedly singing Feliz Navidad, but he escaped having to stay after school.
Finger Extensions
Slick? Violin Slick?
Fingers
Or he could just make his fingers longer by becoming a vi-borg.
Goggles
I don't know how accurate the goggles are (I had to draw them from memory); I couldn't figure out how to get them to come up in an image search. Like, it's easy enough to find “spacetime and there's gravity and the black hole goes way down,” but how do you accurately describe that thing? I got plenty of different weird goggles, but not the right ones. Also, these goggles kind of make me think of barreleye fish (warning: barreleye fish are pretty creepy-looking).
Hand Turkey
This was sort-of-during testing last year. The test itself was over, but we had to stay silent and in the classroom for a while. He and the guy to my left (Loonfeather was to my right) both made hand turkeys and spent a long time decorating them.
Hands On Fire
This was a long time ago. I couldn't find a good picture of how the bubbles worked, but they were relevant enough that I had to draw them somehow.
Heart Rate
He got all the way across the classroom and back to his seat; it was on the second jumping jack that the teacher finally noticed he wasn't sitting down.
Lollipop
No one had actually mentioned a lollipop.
Novella
Spoiler alert: Hollyleaf's Story is just a bunch of math problems.
Older
So that should give you a rough age range for me.
Poached Eggs
She then stopped talking about chemistry calculations and showed us a video about cooking poached eggs.
Polar
I still can't do anything in polar except plot points and find area, but apparently that was enough to pass the class.
Shade
That's a lot of shade.
Sister
Emeraldheart is the chef, Ashtail is his assistant, and Adderbite grows all the produce.
Slick, Part Two
I wasn't there to witness this, but Goldstep mentioned it.
Terrible Athlete
He's a better athlete than I am.
Tie-Dyeing Shirts, Part Two
Slick apparently judged Adderbite a lot for taking his advice, but I liked it.
Trade
She meant do her homework for her, not assign her more.
Be A Robot
He doesn't look much like Slick.
Big Heart
They definitely cut the Grinch open.
Complicated
Sounds like it.
Computer Generated
She was just being Wolvermean.
DNA
I'm not sure how that would work.
I Don't Know These People #111
I drew this a while ago and found it fairly recently.
I Don't Know These People #112
They might have said Taurus, not tortoise, but they didn't repeat the word, so I went with my first thought. Either way, though...
I Don't Know These People #113
About the most obviously fake “sorry” I've ever heard.
I Don't Know These People #114
Danny Dunn, is that you?
I Don't Know These People #115
I think this was at an ice cream shop.
Law Of Cooling
It's not like we were doing any math anyway.
LeBron James
When I search LeBron James I get normal pictures, so I don't know what the confusion was.
Lungs Dying
I think someone had been walking on his back.
Memes, Part Four
Yes.
Not Wearing Green
He brought it on himself, really.
On The Team
The robot himself. Fun fact: one year one of my classes called me Robot (until I became the Titan).
Pinky
Once again. Vi-borg.
Plastic Shoes
I was tired.
Run Into
I forgot to draw the door handle.
Show Up
I don't know what he was saying should get interrupted, but I think the instructions were for Deerblaze. Or maybe Crowspots?
Swan
It was just pen.
That Noise
That was a helpful explanation.
The Potato Eaters
A classic, as you know.
Thinks
Wait, is he me?
What Problem
He apparently did have several answers written down. The problem was that he was looking them up on the Internet instead of doing the work.
Charleston
She was talking about the city.
Cheesy Potato In A Bowl
That sounds like an adventure.
Communicate, Part Two
Deerblaze: I said memes.
Flip Phone
We were looking at the posters about cyberbullying because the pictures were so terrible.
GNAW
teacher: That would also be graphically or numerically.
Golf Hole
The bullet points in her PowerPoint.
Grounded
Solution to all problems: ground your girlfriend.
Heart Beat
The teacher meant in the cheesy “heart beating faster” way, but I like Murretail's answer.
His Band
I don't remember what person/band.
Lettuce
Two years before this, he got really mad at her for repeatedly telling that joke. Also, panel two is a nice Max and Ruby face.
Lowest
He didn't turn in his paper on time. She would accept late papers, but the grade would be lower. At the time she said this, he hadn't turned it in yet, so it was a zero.
My Name
I think she needed his help with something.
One B
You talkin' to me???
Pooh
In German, the word for “to dig” is the same as the word for “grave” (although it has to be capitalized when it's a noun). It was an inopportune time to teach us “to dig,” because we had just learned “grave,” though it was for an entirely different context.
Sleeptalking, Part Four
Remember, she didn't know she was talking to Zebraheart--she called me by her teacher's name and claimed all of her friends (except Pyritethorn) were asleep.
Sodas, Part Two
It took her about eight months into the school year to stop spilling her soda every week.
Sparkle
It wasn't a very good plan.
Sphinx
See, I'm definitely psychic.
Stolen
Once, in the car, Adderbite and I took his hat. I shoved it down underneath Aniplume's backpack, so Thunderpelt thought for a while that I had actually managed to hide it well. Of course, the moment Aniplume picked up his backpack, the hat was there. So Adderbite started taking his hat whenever she got the chance.
Tattoo
Actually, Mintwhisker found out from Adderbite, who found out from Lilypetal, who found out from the social media.
The Club
Apparently it's the name of some movie, but I don't think she knew that--someone (Jonquilpetal?) complained about something, so this was in a “welcome to the club” context.
Tie My Shoe
Nightingaleswoop is useful.
To Leave
Same.
Walked
Sounds scary.
Weaseled
Actually, this wasn't that day, but he did weasel his way out of doing his work for a while once in a genuinely impressive way. There was an assignment due Thursday, so he got his parents to allow him the day off Friday and then convinced the teacher (on Wednesday) to extend the date to Friday.
Another Desk
Four's fine, but five is just going too far.
Another Point
They were convincing the teacher to give them points back on an assignment.
April
Happy Halloween (note: I am posting this on July 9th).
April Fools Fish
It's apparently not a thing people do outside of France (I don't live in France...I must have picked this up in my little-kid French class), but for years I would draw a picture of a fish and tape it to my dad's back on April first. I actually managed to trick him one year--he thought I had dropped the paper and given up, when in reality I (accidentally) dropped the paper and thought I might as well stick it to him anyway.
Because
I overheard this in the bathroom at a dance.
Blue-Green
This was at one of Ashtail's birthday parties.
Body
Mothcloud wasn't fazed at all. Locustfang, on the other hand...
Burning
This was his greeting as he entered the classroom.
Bye
Thanks for that clarification.
C Sharps
Once again...Slick? But wait, no, it's for violin; this would be another kind of vi-borg.
Calves Look Good
Yes, I'm pretty sure it is.
Chapter Nine
Lockpicking is both chapter seven and chapter nine.
Flagpole
Nice.
Hot Blooded
This was a long time ago.
Missed
I'm sure there is.
New Best Friend
I've seen him in the hall a couple times since then, but we haven't spoken.
Not Dancing
Or ground him.
On A Chair
That definitely doesn't sound like a good idea.
Parasite
Macawstep has had senioritis since at least sixth grade. Granted, so have I.
Petty
Here's a tip: the comic is arguably better if you pretend it says “pretty” instead of “petty.”
Pirates
I don't remember why they decided he was a pirate.
Snow Cones
Better than math, at least.
Terrible Student
I was telling a story about how I stopped doing my physics homework after my teacher stopped counting my work as work. It was a 50% either way (and don't worry, I got a 97% in the class overall, so I wasn't just throwing away my grade).
Three Out Of Three
I got a three until three on my paper, too.
Victory Pasta
1800 comics and twelve 150s--that's a whole lot of 150s. Also, I didn't mistakenly call a doughnut a bagel; she was holding half the bagel, and it was covered in Nutella.
COMICS 1801-1900
Agreement
This was the spaceman bag.
Balance
Adderbite: He spent forty minutes on it.
Clarification
Most of the menu sections didn't have headings, and “Top Round” doesn't even make much sense in the first place.
Cool Water Bottle
Well, okay.
Dragging
No, I don't know the context.
Empire
We were trying to play Star Wars music, but we weren't very good at it.
Evian
Above it all. Evian, pizza...will nothing sate him?
Fake Nails
Three of them had already fallen off.
Fifteen
I'm not going to say how long ago this was.
Flattered
He was sitting in Deerblaze's seat, and Deerblaze was talking to him.
Grab, Part Two
Well, that doesn't sound fun.
Greasy
And eyelashes; don't forget the lashes.
Grey's Anatomy
That's...great.
Jackknife
This was in fifth grade. We had to create three sentences using words from...I think the list was of verbs with double letters in them.
Menu
This was from a German video. Archclaw's cat is a ginger tabby named Speedy, and at the end of the video Coldwhisker sort-of-accidentally dumped ketchup on Speedy (he meant to pretend to dump ketchup on him, but the cap came off).
Newspapers
They were reading the newspapers instead of paying attention in class.
Onslaught
I'm not sure I like vacations that come with onslaughts.
Phonics
Springwhisker: Scary Harry. Very scary Harry.
Race
He had a striped shirt.
Right And Left
100%.
Sleeptalking, Part Five
They went on like that for a while.
Soups
I think by plural soups she meant plural noodles from one soup.
Thank Her
Poor Maroongale. No one brought coffee.
The School
Yet again, I don't know the context at all.
Violins
She was talking about Dvorak's Symphony #8 in G Major arranged for just a string orchestra.
Crop
The teacher hates spring break because we don't live on farms (think your typical suburban area, except just rich enough to be snobby toward all the other suburbs around).
Count, Part Two
He tried. (He was speaking German and used the wrong translation from the Internet.)
CIM Motor
Slick was testing Mallowfang.
Correct Answers
Yeah, good luck with that.
Cry
Dehydrated. The word I was looking for was dehydrated.
Danny DeVito
Oh.
Crêpes
Sometimes I wonder if this drove a wedge between them in their relationship.
Eyeballs
It was almost the last class of the day, at least.
Fall Behind
Bragging time: although I failed about six tests in that class, I got an A for the year and a 5 (max score) on the AP exam! Update: I have since learned that 48.4% of everyone who took this test that year got a 5. I’m still proud, though.
Germany
Well, okay.
Hotels
I said it this way on purpose, but the word for “to stand” in German sounds like the word “stay,” so people mess this up sometimes.
Eat A Bagel
See, this is why we call him Food-Aniplume.
Goo
She actually remained Schuzz-Brained Banana Goo for a while; it was all she wanted to be called.
How Is It
Eldertwig was asking about the dancing at prom.
Fun Dip
Poor Lynxtuft. No Fun Dip for her.
Short Hair
I guess so.
Milk
???
Snob
Coming from Slick...
Any Sports
At first I thought she was going like “oh, great, I’ve been talking to a nerd,” but then...
The Flamingo
It was another heading, just like “Top Round.”
Interesting Snack
We had some red icing.
Texas Instruments Michael, Part Three
Good to know.
Laugh
Looks like both to me.
Nice Job
I still maintain that it was not my fault.
Toes
Again, this was in German. Gabbroflash, aka Yung Twizzlr, was told to lead us in singing “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes,” and we ended up with this somewhat interesting variation.
Cool Dinosaur
I actually almost said something about toy cars. I was thinking that smallish dinosaurs would have to stay away from cars, and then I thought the image of dinosaurs running from toy cars was funny.
Divide The Sun
Pi in the sky.
Cracking Ice
This was from the same video with the rocks that weren't moving.
Currency
That's how it works.
Fall In
I know panels two and three sound kind of mean-spirited, but panel 2 was meant in the best possible way, panel 3 was because of his smug expression, and Killdeerfrost is Killdeerfrost.
Football Movie
Yes.
Flip Phone, Part Two
See, I told him it was an iPhone Flip.
Dance Floor
Jaggedtuft was laughing because Adderbite and I were lying. We danced a little…
Not Eat
“We” as in Hummingbirdfeather and Nightingaleswoop.
Cry, Part Two
Don't worry, Bubbleclaw wasn't being (very) serious.
How Many
Apparently not.
Fork
Could you pass me that fork?
Frisbee
I know he meant throwing the laptop around, but I still have a mental image of a laptop as one of the participants throwing a Frisbee.
Gardener
Not many options there.
Parallelogram
Wow, that's impressive.
I Don't Know These People #116
RIP
I Don't Know These People #117
Um, yes, it is.
I Don't Know These People #118
This was more cute than funny, but I made it a comic anyway.
I Don't Know These People #119
He said it so reverently. By the way, this was the day I met these people...so it's possible they are other people who show up later in the comics under completely different designs since I didn't know them at all this first day and didn't manage to recognize who had said this.
I Don't Know These People #120
Sounds like an excuse to me.
Teaching
That's a cool grandma.
The One
He wouldn't tell us the gossip he's heard about us from Killdeerfrost and Stonefrost. He did tell us fake gossip about Stonefrost.
Shout
It sounds a little like Link's yell.
Tie-Dyeing Shirts, Part Three
This was the day it was extra credit to wear them.
Seven
The worst thing???
Confirmed
I did not know that.
Crumple
How thoughtful.
Contacts
He had to leave class for a while because there was a problem with his contacts.
Documentary
This was her attempt at a compromise after Jasperstripe shouted out “MOVIE!” while she was talking.
Crumbs
It was decent cake.
Cowboy
It was some weird little dance where she stood like that and shook around a little.
Equation
Well, it’s true.
Dorian, Part Two
He was still trying to get a face swap.
Coughed
Brindlefoot seems to have that effect on technology. HOLD ON TECHNOLOGY ROBOTS SLICK
Crocodile
Later she was surprised to see that the video she had pulled up on her computer screen was actually playing, which was what Marblenose was trying to tell her in the first place.
Magnet
He looked so horrified. It was as if she hadn't seen Star Wars all over again.
Momentary
Ibexspring rarely does.
Not Moving
Adderbite had been telling a story about how she was moving away soon, but Lilypetal didn't notice.
Fifteen Each
This was the day with the water striders and hip waders.
90s Kids
This was the most specific I ever got about my age back on wcf. I love pushing rules, but I was always wary of outright breaking them.
Paper Circles
Why stop there?
Paper Circles, Part Two
Adderbite thought I was giving her a peace sign, but later I told her that I was holding up two fingers to stealthily tell her there was a second circle on Slick's head.
Repeating
He asked for it.
Going To
For an assignment. These were not her final answers, but she did temporarily type them up.
No Handshake
Something like that.
Shoutout
This was his greeting another time he walked in.
Vegetables
She was apologizing (for something trivial) in German, and the word for “vegetables” sounds pretty similar to the word for “mean.”
Tea Girl
The counterpart to Killdeerfrost?
Tie-Dyeing Shirts, Part Four
He had a different shirt (not tie-dye) underneath it, but he put on the one Elmwhisker had just ripped off.
That Class
This set was originally uploaded with imgland, which scrambles around the images...this wasn't meant to be the one that ended the hundred. But still! 1900 comics! I like how that was the question he chose to answer.
COMICS 1901-2000
Branch
Well, it's good that she's happy.
Defined
I think I just found Mr. Philosopher!
German Pun
His original "pun" was "Itch ben ein berlener," an intentionally misspelled variant of "Ich bin ein Berliner." He changed it to "I fear the Wurst."
Given
This comic could also be titled "I Was Planning To Push My Boundaries On WCF Once Again."
Kirby
He tried.
Highway
Jam spreader hates AC/DC with a passion.
Bonnet
Sung to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell.
Broke A Violin
Poor Jasperstripe.
Bag Of Mints
That sounds completely fair.
Box Elder
Think of this one less as a single comic and more as several snapshots of the course of about 45 minutes that combine to produce what you see here. My tree identification skills were put to waste because groups had to be about fifteen each…and the prize (which we didn't win, of course) was ice cream.
Leveled Up
He's now a Pterodactyl (Advanced).
Picture Taken
How insulting?
Monkey Ball
Those are sweetgum leaves (and, uh, seed things). I have a sweetgum in my yard.
Paper Circles, Part Three
This means he never noticed them.
Pose
The teacher then imitated the pose back to him.
Pretty Middle Name
She sounded so bitter.
On The Cookie
To be fair, most birds would enjoy a cookie.
Put Something
That sounds like it would earn a high grade.
Prince
Apples don't grow on trees, you know!
Salt And Pepper
Sure.
Wavin'
I don't remember the context (or if there even was any, but I think there was).
Which Book
Another example of me pushing wcf boundaries.
Quack Quack
Makes sense.
Ready For This Exam
I hope he did well; I'll probably never know. I did well, though.
Studying
Sure you are. I wasn't there for this, but this was one of the stories Goldstep told me.
Greg
He had to take a second day to finish his presentation because he couldn't get past having to learn how to pronounce Prokofiev three times.
Force
It's an extra credit project each year.
Familiar
I didn't mean to say that out loud.
Alice
That would be a strange crossover. I mean, I’m sure it’s happened before.
A Fan
Why would he need a fan if it was too cold?
Grow Legs
You're welcome.
Hate Strings
I like trees.
Humor Me
Okay.
Order The Pizza
Sounds scary.
Pig
Oh well.
Pizza Rolls
This was her changing-the-subject thing for whenever we walked past Deerblaze.
Resource
Yes.
Ruler
What's sad is that I was talking to myself about nothing in particular.
Prettiest
Another fairy tale thing.
So Picky
Jackalclaw was talking to Driftspots and Hotel Pillow, who were being "picky" with their circuit parts.
Royalty
A piece of white fabric for a costume.
Staple
Sure you weren't.
Stretching
Glad to hear he approves.
Thin Legs
How far can he jump!?
The Bee Movie
Oh, Mistlescar…
What She Is
Same.
Windows
Well, that's true.
Whole Milk
White food coloring?
Vandalism
There were basketballs flying all around us (we weren't allowed in the library during exams we didn't have to take, so we had to sit in the gym).
Two Envelopes
Not quite what she asked, but okay. Thirteen 150s!
Advantage
He's so tall.
American Idol
Then why did she volunteer?
Baby Food
It…really sounds like they were talking about Parrotjaw eating baby food. I'm not sure how else to interpret this. But I had no context, so who knows?
Beautiful And Friendly
I need to stop.
Dump Out
I don't remember where the water was.
Ice Cream Cone Bandit
He was the ice cream cone bandit because of frustums, and I know the baby monitors were relevant, but I don't remember why.
Bronchitis
And that was the last time either of us ever saw him. He'll still be in some more comics because they're not perfectly chronological… (edit: Don't be concerned! Nothing happened to him. He just graduated; that's all.)
Hiking
For context, this happened at prom. Moraystripe was her date. This was the extent of their interactions. She went to prom with him so that Stonefrost would see that she had a date. And this was what happened.
Double Whammy
I don't remember what it was.
Kicked Out
Braces, also called curly brackets.
King
Aspwhisker! At one point, on hip waders/water striders/leaf identification day, Aspwhisker was standing on a rock while Wednesday Shirt tried to scoop up fish in a bucket. Aspwhisker looked like he was surveying his subjects, but he was still Aspwhisker.
My Head
No, I don't remember what she meant.
Peanut
Well, that's good, anyway.
Photoshopped Prom Picture
It was actually fairly well done.
Kazoo
I'm not even sure what fell.
Purify
That was kind of the idea.
Pianist, Part Two
Beautiful.
Shutting Up
Yes, because Arrowroottail was the one talking too much.
Same Place
They're the same person.
Sleep Deprivation
I mean, that was my joke too, but still.
That Effect
She's referring to Thunderpelt again. Fun fact: the reason he has that funny tuft on his face is because of the cat in my avatar, Thunder, who has the same shaped tuft. In retrospect I wish I hadn’t given him such a cool name, but at least his tuft looks funny.
Tie-Dyeing Shirts, Part Five
Why not?
Watch Me
Uh, okay…
Three Words That Rhyme
Excellent words. Fun fact: the cat on the left is supposed to be black and gold like a clarinet.
So Chill
JACKALCLAW WHY
Decimal Places
The teacher said it by accident; Jackalclaw was quick to call him out.
Debris
Delicious.
AP Chemistry
AP chem is so good.
Bleach, Part Four
I would.
Important In This World
Finally, a clear metric.
Frowny Face
Not just any frowny face. The frowny face.
Mars
Won't even walk to your own neighbor's house?
Individual Dodgeball
I believe it.
Immune To Emotions
Immune. Sure.
Her Brother
For some reason he was like a school celebrity.
Long Legs
Applefoot walks a lot faster than Adderbite.
Free Cookie, Part Five
Gross.
Oxymoron
He couldn't think of the word.
Older Twin
Just like Killdeerfrost.
More Appropriate
As in more professional.
Onion Pizza
Because onions smell like pizza.
Nature Walk
That had better include box elders!!!
Raised
That was morbid.
Negative Four
Come on.
The Best Title
I had to write a review of "Forrest Gump," and we were sitting in the gym where sometimes basketballs flew dangerously close to us.
Pumpkinshoes
Pumpkin spice Killdeerfrostte.
Volleyball
It was a water bottle.
What Is Love?
That was unplanned.
Yoinks
Yoinks! The goblins are coming.
You-Know-Who
She meant Jaggedtuft. 2000 comics!
COMICS 1501-1600
All Week
He grunted and rolled his eyes.
Any Scale
Yeah.
Clue
We played twice in teams. Jewelfang is really good at Clue, so our group won both times.
Coconut
No, I don't know what that means. Maybe the person she was talking to had hair that made their head look like a coconut?
Communicate
Nor is it 1983.
Favorite Fairy Tale
I'm willing to bet it features lots of apples.
Good Leader
That's promising.
Too Much Hand Sanitizer
Marblenose then put more hand sanitizer on Nogalfur.
Hot Dogs
We overheard a tour guide at a college saying this.
Missing
How scary.
Mondays
She sounded confused.
On Friday
I don't remember what we did.
Same Outfit
He wore all orange…to prom.
Second Period
We're his first period class.
Silly Bands
I don't know if this means that he had silly bands left over from middle school or that he had an extra unopened pack that he opened for that day.
Slice, Part Two
I got it cut really short.
Smidge
This was part of a video he made years ago about how icy it was. I…could believe him making exactly that video (if it were icy) this year. He…hasn't changed.
Stingy
He doesn't want her to get earrings.
String
I'm sure it is.
Strong
Nightingaleswoop is a discus thrower. Jayflight is…Jayflight.
Sunglasses
Poor Macawstep.
The Love Of His Life
Yes, that sounds like a great story.
Tie-Dyeing Shirts
I was absent, but the tie-dye shirts were going to be worth extra credit if we wore them on a certain day, so Adderbite got permission to make one for me in addition to her own.
Trained
For a couple of weeks she would step on his feet as we left our first class (he sat outside the classroom to wait for class change). Eventually he started standing up to wait despite it being the morning. Now he just kind of pathetically kicks at her feet.
Two Eggs
That's a whole lot of omelettes.
Two Pants
She then pulled down one pair so that we could see the second pair of pants underneath them.
A Comic
Here you go.
Anything Silly
Oh well.
Argue
I agree.
Assignment Name
She wore a t-shirt.
Barrier
That's what prevented the princess from wanting the frog on her table and bed.
CAS
In other words, yes.
Class Activities
So Brindlefoot, Killdeerfrost, and Deerblaze?
Excellent
He actually said the name of our school, not the word “school,” but obviously I couldn't put that.
Gone
I don't know why he needed him.
Happy Dog
Lynxtuft's dog is a mini labradoodle.
Her Arm
I hope the art is good enough that you can tell...her arm is folded up inside her jacket.
How To Read A Script
They were the lines that had already been read.
Multiple Choice Six
We had to round up our tests for a binder check.
Mystique
That's definitely what he said.
Pianist
Me?
Sandstorm
This was at prom.
Sherlock Holmes
Deerblaze just sounded so done.
This Tall
Marbledfur can draw really realistic hands. I don't know if she can draw anything other than hands, since I've only ever seen her draw hands, but it's impressive either way.
Tongue-Tied
She always said "There we go" a lot.
Twenty Girls
Adderbite: Honestly, same.
Two Halves
Branchfoot has bananas during math a lot.
Yoga Pants
Poor Maroongale.
You Got
I don't remember the context.
Your Shoes
What could she possibly be talking about?
Alaska
She quickly decided her yard was Russia, because that way she could see Alaska from her yard.
Blue Hair
Well, sorry, I'm shaving it tonight!
Cocoons
Is that not what happens at college?
Decay
I thought of half lives before dead bodies.
Dream House
I wasn't even asking for the crane, but she gave it to me, along with a second one that was slightly different (the original was my summer house and the second my winter house). Someone stole them, so she made more the next day.
Dunk
He's really tall.
German
Neither can I, really.
Glowstick
I wonder how that happened.
I Don't Know These People #96
Both.
I Don't Know These People #97
I don't think they ever found out.
I Don't Know These People #98
She sounded very distraught and repeated this multiple times.
I Don't Know These People #99
I didn't hear the sentence that actually had “lads” in it...
I Don't Know These People #100
...but it sounds as if it didn't make much sense.
I Don't Know These People #101
Or maybe not that easy.
I Don't Know These People #102
That makes a lot of sense. Don't worry, I clarified (they were a little far away; I was sort of between the two pairs, so I could hear Gray Cat, and Beige Cat and Calico Cat could hear me).
I Don't Know These People #103
Not that it helped for very long, because they immediately forgot what I told them.
I Don't Know These People #104
Some little kid said this to Adderbite while in line.
I Don't Know These People #105
Montessori is sort of...fancy preschool, I guess.
In Latin
I believe that problem was already identified.
Sleeptalking
This comic took forever to color. Please note that I eventually realized Zebraheart’s words are the wrong color, but for a while here they’re going to be blue instead of gray! For now I have no plans to change this, but maybe eventually I will.
Smells
We were making candy canes.
Stabbing
This was a long time ago.
Strep Throat
Deerblaze returned a couple days later, evidently not dead.
This Piece
I don't remember the piece.
Worst Kind Of Tests
Essays.
Angle
Elmwhisker was demonstrating how he had broken into the classroom before school started.
Assault
Well, thanks for that clarification.
Balloon Punch
No one got hurt. Jam spreader cleaned up the glass, and we replaced the bulb.
Colleges
That's good, probably.
Dirty Jeans
Oh, Brackenclaw.
Explain It
I explained whatever it was for Swanfire just in case the teacher asked.
Foggy Mountain
“Foggy Mountain Breakdown” is a violin hoedown.
Go For
He blushed a lot and couldn't explain how he actually did mean it.
Hoodie
The candy cane was in there for a while.
In The Sun
She meant tan.
Jiggy With It
Liar!
Knoxville
Knoxville is in Tennessee.
Limaçon
Sorry my limaçon is so crooked.
Memes, Part Three
What a relief.
Need Any Help
That might as well be me.
Open The Door
It was part of the script he and Rustpatch made. He said it in monotone.
Piece Of Me
Gross, yes, but for a second grader it was actually relatively witty.
Quack
He was pretending to be a frog. The German onomotopoeia for croaking is pretty much “quack” (it's spelled and pronounced a little differently, but it's basically “quack”), but even with that knowledge he just said it in such a flat voice and he was waddling more like a duck.
Ready
He's really smart, but he doesn't study or work at all.
Shadow
This was shortly after Groundhog Day.
Texas Instruments Michael
The title of this comic is “Texas Instruments Michael” because that's what TIM stands for. Not, as someone suggested, Texas Instruments Machine.
Underwater Wrestling
Well, that sounds...fun.
Vacuum Cleaner
Poor vacuum cleaner.
Wolverine, Part Three
But I'm Wolverine.
Yak
1600!
COMICS 1601-1700
AP Scale
Well, I guess it is important.
Arms
That's great.
Backing Up
Poor Mothcloud.
Big Packet
A classic example of “spoke too soon.”
Blue Marker
Some of it actually wiped off when he put his fingers on his face.
Calculator Program
That's really helpful.
Chapter
Fair enough.
Cheese Coneys
I don't know the results of the bet.
Chunkage
“Chunk” is a pretty bad word.
Dab
Success, sort of.
Dad
Her dad probably just shares the same name.
In Time
Detailed Face Guy!
Licking
Poor Nightingaleswoop.
Minion Movie
Why.
National Merit
Does this qualify as another nerd burn? It's not the nerd doing the burning.
Off Again
That's a little extreme.
Order Of The Phoenix
I used to read a lot. Not so much anymore.
Part C
That's definitely why he was asking.
Shades Of Gray
I think he was talking about answers in math.
Sleeptalking, Part Two
We actually had this conversation (with slight variations) at least twenty times. I convinced her that Lifesavers saved lives the first time through. Tallspring has also given her apples and Oreos. She claimed that Tallspring gave her the apples before Adderbite because he liked her more, but apparently he actually gave Adderbite the apples first.
Stealth Mode
It's probably not a good idea to announce it.
Trip
That sounds like a really exciting trip.
Vanilla Ice Cream
It happened to be my birthday; it was also the teacher's.
White Shirt
Well, that's because he's Jackalclaw.
Worst Nightmare
I'm sure it was scary, but it sounds funny.
A Bunch Of Guys
Brackenclaw: Sorry, Hollyfrost. Oh, Mothcloud's here too? All right.
American
AC/DC is an Australian band that has toured Germany before.
Atticodes
I'm not sure how that came up.
Back Muscles
He was talking to Elmwhisker.
Black On Black
Meaning his underwear. Which, fortunately, we could not see.
Broke Their Shins
I'm not sure of the logistics of that one.
Chemistry Problems
I mean, same.
Die Versus Kill
I'm sure “with a tree” came from somewhere, but I don't know where.
Done Sick
That's impressive.
Drugs
The drugs in question were pretzels Softwillow “stole” from the front of the classroom.
Early Bloomer
Poor Swanfire.
Finish
Sandwich thoughts?
Frankfurter
That could be a problem.
Free Cookie, Part Four
She meant she'd lick her cookie so Spiderfang wouldn't touch it...but it definitely sounded like she was going to lick Spiderfang.
Gonna Wear
I guess that makes sense if she's a trash can?
Grinds
It's not a great word, but it's not the worst.
Hard Video
We were making a German project about Sleeping Beauty (although the German name translates to [/imgthorns little roses,[/img so it probably means [/imgBriar Rose[/img).
Proud Parent
In our video, Tealwhisker was both the king and the queen, as well as one of the princes who fails to rescue the princess. Murretail, Lynxtuft, and I were each one of the twelve fairies. Lynxtuft was also the thirteenth fairy, one of the failure princes, and the mysterious old lady with the spindle. Murretail was also the princess. I was also the successful prince and some random person in the kingdom who fell asleep with an apple in my hand.
River Flows In You
Another song title.
Shirtless
It was a list of “hottest guy names” or something. I think Jayflight's name was on the list. Locustfang, Stonefrost, Dunlinstep, Dingostep, and Duskwhisker's names all scored really high. I'm sure there were plenty of other names of people I knew on the list, but I wasn't really paying much attention.
Shucked
He was adamant that he had shucked it. They went as far as looking up the respective definitions of “shuck” and “peel.”
Smell This Bag
It was a bag of really awful fertilizer.
TGIF
She forgot she was Tuesday Shirt, but I still call her that sometimes.
Whistling Muscles
Lynxtuft whistles a lot.
Working In The Hall
We weren't kicked out; we had the option to work out there. Look, eleven 150s!
Alarm
That's Hotel Pillow over on the right.
April Showers
So I guess it's obvious enough that this happened a month ago?
Burito
He let her continue signing her name as Burito on all her schoolwork.
Eccentricity
In this case, e isn't Euler's number; it's a variable that basically stands for how much longer an ellipse is in one direction than the other, or sort of how flattened it looks (hence squishiness).
Exploring
That sounds exciting.
I Don't Know These People #106
Me neither.
I Don't Know These People #107
Good luck taking the picture.
I Don't Know These People #108
This was at an ice cream shop over spring break.
I Don't Know These People #109
Hey, look, it's Grody Veins. Yay.
I Don't Know These People #110
I spent forever finding a good picture of three baby alligators (for Killdeerfrost) to send to Adderbite.
Interesting Prize
I think they won the pineapple somehow? I'm not sure.
Mellow
She told him to throw the string away, but he didn't.
Mitosis
His voice was so loud (I recognized the voice as the teacher who is the cloudy gray and white cat).
Monkey Bars, Part Two
Deerblaze is missing out.
Moved
...That's not quite what he said.
My Number
This happened a long time ago; I don't remember what the numbers were for.
Need
So do I.
Ooky Spooky
We were playing Mafia in class, and the teacher told him to stop talking since he was already a ghost. He technically complied...in that instead of speaking, he got out his phone and provided a soundtrack. She was okay with this as long as the music was appropriate to the mood (i.e. creepy during “night,” intense during “day”).
Playing Frisbee
That's almost worse.
Psychology
He would make me have that kind of conversation often. The one day I tried going a different route to psychology, he was there on the other floor instead of outside the class where he usually was. Oh well.
Pulled
What a scary thug.
Raincoat
Disclaimer: do not follow Jasperstripe's advice.
Run On
I don't remember the context.
Survive A Day
He was a little later than usual that day. Although he actually has saved someone's life before. I don't know the details, though.
Welcome Back
I think that would be more accurately the dead, not the living.
Another One
The teacher was speaking in German.
Argyle
While I was making this comic, Ashtail mispronounced “argyle” and asked me what it was.
Breaking Out
This was earlier the same morning as the time Elmwhisker demonstrated how to pick the lock with a card. The door was supposed to be locked, but Elmwhisker let everyone in early.
Buddy
That's friendly.
Catcher In The Rye
I'm not sure.
Duet
That's kind of how duets work.
Flying By The Seat Of Your Pants
Good to know.
Four Years Ago
Something like that.
Full Name
Oh well.
How To Read A Script, Part Two
He read his own name.
Just Being
Just being herself, probably?
K Slice
He liked it.
Lunchtime
Once or twice he told Adderbite she couldn't have lunch until she sang that (he's her brother).
Music Genre
Oh, so 4'33”.
New Names
They came up with lots of pairs of nicknames, but I only remember this one and Pablo/Pedro.
Piece Of Gum
Great job.
Presence
He was sitting in Hotel Pillow's seat instead of his own.
Sick
He's a robot too? Maybe he and Slick are in league.
Sleeptalking, Part Three
Pyritethorn was an exchange student.
Special
Too late.
Suns, Part Two
If a whole mole of lions can't stand up to the sun, a million tons of flags have no chance.
Test Day
Apparently “It’s test day, baby!” was something Kestrelfur used to say all the time.
Texas Instruments Michael, Part Two
This was a month or so after the first mention of Terrific TIM's name, which means...it stayed.
Two Phones
I'm sure Murretail could manage an interesting conversation.
Velociraptor
1700 comics!
COMICS 1701-1800
A Card
No, Brindlefoot has no fears.
Arms, Part Two
Sure.
Cherry Tomatoes
In past years we've had more tomato plants than we can actually handle, but this year we haven't had any.
Dating Tips
I had known about Lynxtuft and Melonwhisker for months, but apparently Murretail was not in the loop. Neither was Tealwhisker. I assume Applefoot knew, but I don't think she was part of that conversation.
Disappointing News
This was after prom.
Drew Flowers
He was talking about himself.
Eight To Nine
As in thirteen hours, not one.
Feliz Navidad
This was last year on the last day before winter break. Nighttail continued pushing buttons by repeatedly singing Feliz Navidad, but he escaped having to stay after school.
Finger Extensions
Slick? Violin Slick?
Fingers
Or he could just make his fingers longer by becoming a vi-borg.
Goggles
I don't know how accurate the goggles are (I had to draw them from memory); I couldn't figure out how to get them to come up in an image search. Like, it's easy enough to find “spacetime and there's gravity and the black hole goes way down,” but how do you accurately describe that thing? I got plenty of different weird goggles, but not the right ones. Also, these goggles kind of make me think of barreleye fish (warning: barreleye fish are pretty creepy-looking).
Hand Turkey
This was sort-of-during testing last year. The test itself was over, but we had to stay silent and in the classroom for a while. He and the guy to my left (Loonfeather was to my right) both made hand turkeys and spent a long time decorating them.
Hands On Fire
This was a long time ago. I couldn't find a good picture of how the bubbles worked, but they were relevant enough that I had to draw them somehow.
Heart Rate
He got all the way across the classroom and back to his seat; it was on the second jumping jack that the teacher finally noticed he wasn't sitting down.
Lollipop
No one had actually mentioned a lollipop.
Novella
Spoiler alert: Hollyleaf's Story is just a bunch of math problems.
Older
So that should give you a rough age range for me.
Poached Eggs
She then stopped talking about chemistry calculations and showed us a video about cooking poached eggs.
Polar
I still can't do anything in polar except plot points and find area, but apparently that was enough to pass the class.
Shade
That's a lot of shade.
Sister
Emeraldheart is the chef, Ashtail is his assistant, and Adderbite grows all the produce.
Slick, Part Two
I wasn't there to witness this, but Goldstep mentioned it.
Terrible Athlete
He's a better athlete than I am.
Tie-Dyeing Shirts, Part Two
Slick apparently judged Adderbite a lot for taking his advice, but I liked it.
Trade
She meant do her homework for her, not assign her more.
Be A Robot
He doesn't look much like Slick.
Big Heart
They definitely cut the Grinch open.
Complicated
Sounds like it.
Computer Generated
She was just being Wolvermean.
DNA
I'm not sure how that would work.
I Don't Know These People #111
I drew this a while ago and found it fairly recently.
I Don't Know These People #112
They might have said Taurus, not tortoise, but they didn't repeat the word, so I went with my first thought. Either way, though...
I Don't Know These People #113
About the most obviously fake “sorry” I've ever heard.
I Don't Know These People #114
Danny Dunn, is that you?
I Don't Know These People #115
I think this was at an ice cream shop.
Law Of Cooling
It's not like we were doing any math anyway.
LeBron James
When I search LeBron James I get normal pictures, so I don't know what the confusion was.
Lungs Dying
I think someone had been walking on his back.
Memes, Part Four
Yes.
Not Wearing Green
He brought it on himself, really.
On The Team
The robot himself. Fun fact: one year one of my classes called me Robot (until I became the Titan).
Pinky
Once again. Vi-borg.
Plastic Shoes
I was tired.
Run Into
I forgot to draw the door handle.
Show Up
I don't know what he was saying should get interrupted, but I think the instructions were for Deerblaze. Or maybe Crowspots?
Swan
It was just pen.
That Noise
That was a helpful explanation.
The Potato Eaters
A classic, as you know.
Thinks
Wait, is he me?
What Problem
He apparently did have several answers written down. The problem was that he was looking them up on the Internet instead of doing the work.
Charleston
She was talking about the city.
Cheesy Potato In A Bowl
That sounds like an adventure.
Communicate, Part Two
Deerblaze: I said memes.
Flip Phone
We were looking at the posters about cyberbullying because the pictures were so terrible.
GNAW
teacher: That would also be graphically or numerically.
Golf Hole
The bullet points in her PowerPoint.
Grounded
Solution to all problems: ground your girlfriend.
Heart Beat
The teacher meant in the cheesy “heart beating faster” way, but I like Murretail's answer.
His Band
I don't remember what person/band.
Lettuce
Two years before this, he got really mad at her for repeatedly telling that joke. Also, panel two is a nice Max and Ruby face.
Lowest
He didn't turn in his paper on time. She would accept late papers, but the grade would be lower. At the time she said this, he hadn't turned it in yet, so it was a zero.
My Name
I think she needed his help with something.
One B
You talkin' to me???
Pooh
In German, the word for “to dig” is the same as the word for “grave” (although it has to be capitalized when it's a noun). It was an inopportune time to teach us “to dig,” because we had just learned “grave,” though it was for an entirely different context.
Sleeptalking, Part Four
Remember, she didn't know she was talking to Zebraheart--she called me by her teacher's name and claimed all of her friends (except Pyritethorn) were asleep.
Sodas, Part Two
It took her about eight months into the school year to stop spilling her soda every week.
Sparkle
It wasn't a very good plan.
Sphinx
See, I'm definitely psychic.
Stolen
Once, in the car, Adderbite and I took his hat. I shoved it down underneath Aniplume's backpack, so Thunderpelt thought for a while that I had actually managed to hide it well. Of course, the moment Aniplume picked up his backpack, the hat was there. So Adderbite started taking his hat whenever she got the chance.
Tattoo
Actually, Mintwhisker found out from Adderbite, who found out from Lilypetal, who found out from the social media.
The Club
Apparently it's the name of some movie, but I don't think she knew that--someone (Jonquilpetal?) complained about something, so this was in a “welcome to the club” context.
Tie My Shoe
Nightingaleswoop is useful.
To Leave
Same.
Walked
Sounds scary.
Weaseled
Actually, this wasn't that day, but he did weasel his way out of doing his work for a while once in a genuinely impressive way. There was an assignment due Thursday, so he got his parents to allow him the day off Friday and then convinced the teacher (on Wednesday) to extend the date to Friday.
Another Desk
Four's fine, but five is just going too far.
Another Point
They were convincing the teacher to give them points back on an assignment.
April
Happy Halloween (note: I am posting this on July 9th).
April Fools Fish
It's apparently not a thing people do outside of France (I don't live in France...I must have picked this up in my little-kid French class), but for years I would draw a picture of a fish and tape it to my dad's back on April first. I actually managed to trick him one year--he thought I had dropped the paper and given up, when in reality I (accidentally) dropped the paper and thought I might as well stick it to him anyway.
Because
I overheard this in the bathroom at a dance.
Blue-Green
This was at one of Ashtail's birthday parties.
Body
Mothcloud wasn't fazed at all. Locustfang, on the other hand...
Burning
This was his greeting as he entered the classroom.
Bye
Thanks for that clarification.
C Sharps
Once again...Slick? But wait, no, it's for violin; this would be another kind of vi-borg.
Calves Look Good
Yes, I'm pretty sure it is.
Chapter Nine
Lockpicking is both chapter seven and chapter nine.
Flagpole
Nice.
Hot Blooded
This was a long time ago.
Missed
I'm sure there is.
New Best Friend
I've seen him in the hall a couple times since then, but we haven't spoken.
Not Dancing
Or ground him.
On A Chair
That definitely doesn't sound like a good idea.
Parasite
Macawstep has had senioritis since at least sixth grade. Granted, so have I.
Petty
Here's a tip: the comic is arguably better if you pretend it says “pretty” instead of “petty.”
Pirates
I don't remember why they decided he was a pirate.
Snow Cones
Better than math, at least.
Terrible Student
I was telling a story about how I stopped doing my physics homework after my teacher stopped counting my work as work. It was a 50% either way (and don't worry, I got a 97% in the class overall, so I wasn't just throwing away my grade).
Three Out Of Three
I got a three until three on my paper, too.
Victory Pasta
1800 comics and twelve 150s--that's a whole lot of 150s. Also, I didn't mistakenly call a doughnut a bagel; she was holding half the bagel, and it was covered in Nutella.
COMICS 1801-1900
Agreement
This was the spaceman bag.
Balance
Adderbite: He spent forty minutes on it.
Clarification
Most of the menu sections didn't have headings, and “Top Round” doesn't even make much sense in the first place.
Cool Water Bottle
Well, okay.
Dragging
No, I don't know the context.
Empire
We were trying to play Star Wars music, but we weren't very good at it.
Evian
Above it all. Evian, pizza...will nothing sate him?
Fake Nails
Three of them had already fallen off.
Fifteen
I'm not going to say how long ago this was.
Flattered
He was sitting in Deerblaze's seat, and Deerblaze was talking to him.
Grab, Part Two
Well, that doesn't sound fun.
Greasy
And eyelashes; don't forget the lashes.
Grey's Anatomy
That's...great.
Jackknife
This was in fifth grade. We had to create three sentences using words from...I think the list was of verbs with double letters in them.
Menu
This was from a German video. Archclaw's cat is a ginger tabby named Speedy, and at the end of the video Coldwhisker sort-of-accidentally dumped ketchup on Speedy (he meant to pretend to dump ketchup on him, but the cap came off).
Newspapers
They were reading the newspapers instead of paying attention in class.
Onslaught
I'm not sure I like vacations that come with onslaughts.
Phonics
Springwhisker: Scary Harry. Very scary Harry.
Race
He had a striped shirt.
Right And Left
100%.
Sleeptalking, Part Five
They went on like that for a while.
Soups
I think by plural soups she meant plural noodles from one soup.
Thank Her
Poor Maroongale. No one brought coffee.
The School
Yet again, I don't know the context at all.
Violins
She was talking about Dvorak's Symphony #8 in G Major arranged for just a string orchestra.
Crop
The teacher hates spring break because we don't live on farms (think your typical suburban area, except just rich enough to be snobby toward all the other suburbs around).
Count, Part Two
He tried. (He was speaking German and used the wrong translation from the Internet.)
CIM Motor
Slick was testing Mallowfang.
Correct Answers
Yeah, good luck with that.
Cry
Dehydrated. The word I was looking for was dehydrated.
Danny DeVito
Oh.
Crêpes
Sometimes I wonder if this drove a wedge between them in their relationship.
Eyeballs
It was almost the last class of the day, at least.
Fall Behind
Bragging time: although I failed about six tests in that class, I got an A for the year and a 5 (max score) on the AP exam! Update: I have since learned that 48.4% of everyone who took this test that year got a 5. I’m still proud, though.
Germany
Well, okay.
Hotels
I said it this way on purpose, but the word for “to stand” in German sounds like the word “stay,” so people mess this up sometimes.
Eat A Bagel
See, this is why we call him Food-Aniplume.
Goo
She actually remained Schuzz-Brained Banana Goo for a while; it was all she wanted to be called.
How Is It
Eldertwig was asking about the dancing at prom.
Fun Dip
Poor Lynxtuft. No Fun Dip for her.
Short Hair
I guess so.
Milk
???
Snob
Coming from Slick...
Any Sports
At first I thought she was going like “oh, great, I’ve been talking to a nerd,” but then...
The Flamingo
It was another heading, just like “Top Round.”
Interesting Snack
We had some red icing.
Texas Instruments Michael, Part Three
Good to know.
Laugh
Looks like both to me.
Nice Job
I still maintain that it was not my fault.
Toes
Again, this was in German. Gabbroflash, aka Yung Twizzlr, was told to lead us in singing “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes,” and we ended up with this somewhat interesting variation.
Cool Dinosaur
I actually almost said something about toy cars. I was thinking that smallish dinosaurs would have to stay away from cars, and then I thought the image of dinosaurs running from toy cars was funny.
Divide The Sun
Pi in the sky.
Cracking Ice
This was from the same video with the rocks that weren't moving.
Currency
That's how it works.
Fall In
I know panels two and three sound kind of mean-spirited, but panel 2 was meant in the best possible way, panel 3 was because of his smug expression, and Killdeerfrost is Killdeerfrost.
Football Movie
Yes.
Flip Phone, Part Two
See, I told him it was an iPhone Flip.
Dance Floor
Jaggedtuft was laughing because Adderbite and I were lying. We danced a little…
Not Eat
“We” as in Hummingbirdfeather and Nightingaleswoop.
Cry, Part Two
Don't worry, Bubbleclaw wasn't being (very) serious.
How Many
Apparently not.
Fork
Could you pass me that fork?
Frisbee
I know he meant throwing the laptop around, but I still have a mental image of a laptop as one of the participants throwing a Frisbee.
Gardener
Not many options there.
Parallelogram
Wow, that's impressive.
I Don't Know These People #116
RIP
I Don't Know These People #117
Um, yes, it is.
I Don't Know These People #118
This was more cute than funny, but I made it a comic anyway.
I Don't Know These People #119
He said it so reverently. By the way, this was the day I met these people...so it's possible they are other people who show up later in the comics under completely different designs since I didn't know them at all this first day and didn't manage to recognize who had said this.
I Don't Know These People #120
Sounds like an excuse to me.
Teaching
That's a cool grandma.
The One
He wouldn't tell us the gossip he's heard about us from Killdeerfrost and Stonefrost. He did tell us fake gossip about Stonefrost.
Shout
It sounds a little like Link's yell.
Tie-Dyeing Shirts, Part Three
This was the day it was extra credit to wear them.
Seven
The worst thing???
Confirmed
I did not know that.
Crumple
How thoughtful.
Contacts
He had to leave class for a while because there was a problem with his contacts.
Documentary
This was her attempt at a compromise after Jasperstripe shouted out “MOVIE!” while she was talking.
Crumbs
It was decent cake.
Cowboy
It was some weird little dance where she stood like that and shook around a little.
Equation
Well, it’s true.
Dorian, Part Two
He was still trying to get a face swap.
Coughed
Brindlefoot seems to have that effect on technology. HOLD ON TECHNOLOGY ROBOTS SLICK
Crocodile
Later she was surprised to see that the video she had pulled up on her computer screen was actually playing, which was what Marblenose was trying to tell her in the first place.
Magnet
He looked so horrified. It was as if she hadn't seen Star Wars all over again.
Momentary
Ibexspring rarely does.
Not Moving
Adderbite had been telling a story about how she was moving away soon, but Lilypetal didn't notice.
Fifteen Each
This was the day with the water striders and hip waders.
90s Kids
This was the most specific I ever got about my age back on wcf. I love pushing rules, but I was always wary of outright breaking them.
Paper Circles
Why stop there?
Paper Circles, Part Two
Adderbite thought I was giving her a peace sign, but later I told her that I was holding up two fingers to stealthily tell her there was a second circle on Slick's head.
Repeating
He asked for it.
Going To
For an assignment. These were not her final answers, but she did temporarily type them up.
No Handshake
Something like that.
Shoutout
This was his greeting another time he walked in.
Vegetables
She was apologizing (for something trivial) in German, and the word for “vegetables” sounds pretty similar to the word for “mean.”
Tea Girl
The counterpart to Killdeerfrost?
Tie-Dyeing Shirts, Part Four
He had a different shirt (not tie-dye) underneath it, but he put on the one Elmwhisker had just ripped off.
That Class
This set was originally uploaded with imgland, which scrambles around the images...this wasn't meant to be the one that ended the hundred. But still! 1900 comics! I like how that was the question he chose to answer.
COMICS 1901-2000
Branch
Well, it's good that she's happy.
Defined
I think I just found Mr. Philosopher!
German Pun
His original "pun" was "Itch ben ein berlener," an intentionally misspelled variant of "Ich bin ein Berliner." He changed it to "I fear the Wurst."
Given
This comic could also be titled "I Was Planning To Push My Boundaries On WCF Once Again."
Kirby
He tried.
Highway
Jam spreader hates AC/DC with a passion.
Bonnet
Sung to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell.
Broke A Violin
Poor Jasperstripe.
Bag Of Mints
That sounds completely fair.
Box Elder
Think of this one less as a single comic and more as several snapshots of the course of about 45 minutes that combine to produce what you see here. My tree identification skills were put to waste because groups had to be about fifteen each…and the prize (which we didn't win, of course) was ice cream.
Leveled Up
He's now a Pterodactyl (Advanced).
Picture Taken
How insulting?
Monkey Ball
Those are sweetgum leaves (and, uh, seed things). I have a sweetgum in my yard.
Paper Circles, Part Three
This means he never noticed them.
Pose
The teacher then imitated the pose back to him.
Pretty Middle Name
She sounded so bitter.
On The Cookie
To be fair, most birds would enjoy a cookie.
Put Something
That sounds like it would earn a high grade.
Prince
Apples don't grow on trees, you know!
Salt And Pepper
Sure.
Wavin'
I don't remember the context (or if there even was any, but I think there was).
Which Book
Another example of me pushing wcf boundaries.
Quack Quack
Makes sense.
Ready For This Exam
I hope he did well; I'll probably never know. I did well, though.
Studying
Sure you are. I wasn't there for this, but this was one of the stories Goldstep told me.
Greg
He had to take a second day to finish his presentation because he couldn't get past having to learn how to pronounce Prokofiev three times.
Force
It's an extra credit project each year.
Familiar
I didn't mean to say that out loud.
Alice
That would be a strange crossover. I mean, I’m sure it’s happened before.
A Fan
Why would he need a fan if it was too cold?
Grow Legs
You're welcome.
Hate Strings
I like trees.
Humor Me
Okay.
Order The Pizza
Sounds scary.
Pig
Oh well.
Pizza Rolls
This was her changing-the-subject thing for whenever we walked past Deerblaze.
Resource
Yes.
Ruler
What's sad is that I was talking to myself about nothing in particular.
Prettiest
Another fairy tale thing.
So Picky
Jackalclaw was talking to Driftspots and Hotel Pillow, who were being "picky" with their circuit parts.
Royalty
A piece of white fabric for a costume.
Staple
Sure you weren't.
Stretching
Glad to hear he approves.
Thin Legs
How far can he jump!?
The Bee Movie
Oh, Mistlescar…
What She Is
Same.
Windows
Well, that's true.
Whole Milk
White food coloring?
Vandalism
There were basketballs flying all around us (we weren't allowed in the library during exams we didn't have to take, so we had to sit in the gym).
Two Envelopes
Not quite what she asked, but okay. Thirteen 150s!
Advantage
He's so tall.
American Idol
Then why did she volunteer?
Baby Food
It…really sounds like they were talking about Parrotjaw eating baby food. I'm not sure how else to interpret this. But I had no context, so who knows?
Beautiful And Friendly
I need to stop.
Dump Out
I don't remember where the water was.
Ice Cream Cone Bandit
He was the ice cream cone bandit because of frustums, and I know the baby monitors were relevant, but I don't remember why.
Bronchitis
And that was the last time either of us ever saw him. He'll still be in some more comics because they're not perfectly chronological… (edit: Don't be concerned! Nothing happened to him. He just graduated; that's all.)
Hiking
For context, this happened at prom. Moraystripe was her date. This was the extent of their interactions. She went to prom with him so that Stonefrost would see that she had a date. And this was what happened.
Double Whammy
I don't remember what it was.
Kicked Out
Braces, also called curly brackets.
King
Aspwhisker! At one point, on hip waders/water striders/leaf identification day, Aspwhisker was standing on a rock while Wednesday Shirt tried to scoop up fish in a bucket. Aspwhisker looked like he was surveying his subjects, but he was still Aspwhisker.
My Head
No, I don't remember what she meant.
Peanut
Well, that's good, anyway.
Photoshopped Prom Picture
It was actually fairly well done.
Kazoo
I'm not even sure what fell.
Purify
That was kind of the idea.
Pianist, Part Two
Beautiful.
Shutting Up
Yes, because Arrowroottail was the one talking too much.
Same Place
They're the same person.
Sleep Deprivation
I mean, that was my joke too, but still.
That Effect
She's referring to Thunderpelt again. Fun fact: the reason he has that funny tuft on his face is because of the cat in my avatar, Thunder, who has the same shaped tuft. In retrospect I wish I hadn’t given him such a cool name, but at least his tuft looks funny.
Tie-Dyeing Shirts, Part Five
Why not?
Watch Me
Uh, okay…
Three Words That Rhyme
Excellent words. Fun fact: the cat on the left is supposed to be black and gold like a clarinet.
So Chill
JACKALCLAW WHY
Decimal Places
The teacher said it by accident; Jackalclaw was quick to call him out.
Debris
Delicious.
AP Chemistry
AP chem is so good.
Bleach, Part Four
I would.
Important In This World
Finally, a clear metric.
Frowny Face
Not just any frowny face. The frowny face.
Mars
Won't even walk to your own neighbor's house?
Individual Dodgeball
I believe it.
Immune To Emotions
Immune. Sure.
Her Brother
For some reason he was like a school celebrity.
Long Legs
Applefoot walks a lot faster than Adderbite.
Free Cookie, Part Five
Gross.
Oxymoron
He couldn't think of the word.
Older Twin
Just like Killdeerfrost.
More Appropriate
As in more professional.
Onion Pizza
Because onions smell like pizza.
Nature Walk
That had better include box elders!!!
Raised
That was morbid.
Negative Four
Come on.
The Best Title
I had to write a review of "Forrest Gump," and we were sitting in the gym where sometimes basketballs flew dangerously close to us.
Pumpkinshoes
Pumpkin spice Killdeerfrostte.
Volleyball
It was a water bottle.
What Is Love?
That was unplanned.
Yoinks
Yoinks! The goblins are coming.
You-Know-Who
She meant Jaggedtuft. 2000 comics!
