Part Six: My Name Is … Wheels
COMICS 2501-2600
Chairs, Part Two
Yes, she loves chairs.
Fill Me Up
My comics are finally complete…
Hold Me Closer
At this point, I had never heard the real song.
Analyze The Relationship
But what about Musclesxchairs?
Like Cheetos
He gave no further explanation.
Actual Die
Well, okay then.
Ladies' Man
A skeletons' lady, I think, was what she was going for. There’s really no way to explain this without calling attention to my sheer laziness…I tried to draw it but gave up…she was putting the hand of the school’s fake skeleton across her shoulders.
Intense Love
Intense love city (copyright Nighttail 2016).
Call Attendance
He genuinely hadn't noticed.
JFK Zone
Fun fact: Morelfoot is the one Amberfang told me years ago was like me but a cute dude.
Lipstick
…I don't remember how this came up.
Scribe
Same.
Red Lipstick
I do not know the context.
So Soft
…It makes enough sense.
Megabed 3000
Megabed 3000 was made of five mattresses and held seven people.
Needs A Hug
Yesterday Adderbite found a bunch of index cards Jonquilpetal gave her years ago. They're all coupons for free hugs from Cobaltwhisker.
Some Glitter
Sounds good, I guess.
Tango
"Tango" was what he called tangrams.
Pleasant Topics
Poor Nighttail.
Ronald Reagan Cutout
Of course.
Temperature-Wise, Part Three
I suppose this was the logical conclusion.
To Them
"Them" being Killdeerfrost and Stonefrost.
To Get Food
Okay, that is true.
Where You Sleep
…Martinfeather…
Where's The Love
Yeah, Gannetwing hugged the principal during an awards ceremony type thing.
Be Quiet
Mouth corner.
Bubble Attack
I guess it was aggressively carbonated.
Blackeyed Susan, Part Two
Yeah, I would not recommend eating blackeyed susans.
Boxing Practice
Changing the game.
Banana Peel, Part Two
He believed her.
Block
I guess.
Cannoli, Part Two
Poor Bettafin.
Deodorant
That would be pretty gross.
Doughnut Holes, Part Two
For breakfast…
Do You Have Cards
Cirrusflight had.
Elephant
Docknose had a lot of cool stories.
Favorite Fruit
He wanted to talk about favorite fruits because there was a pause in their game of paranoia. In paranoia, you quietly ask the person next to you a question (for a couple examples, “who would you want to date” or “who would you kill first”), and they have to answer with the name of someone in the circle. Everyone gets to hear the answer. Then you flip a coin. Heads means everyone gets to hear what the question was; tails means they never get to know.
No Wonder
?? ?? ? ???? ????? ? ??? ??? ?????? ?? ? ?? ? ???? ? ? ????
New Bug Bite
I mean, sure.
Megabed 3000, Part Two
Thanks, Siri. (I don’t remember who was on my other side--maybe Citruswind? Definitely someone.)
Hot Ramen Noodles
I mean, it's not like ramen noodles smell particularly bad, but…they’re only ramen noodles.
Friendship Bracelets
Better than spilling the beans.
Fanclub, Part Two
Sometimes it's better that way.
Party In The Middle Of The Night
The police cars had nothing to do with us. Also, I didn't skip moments of this. They changed between songs rapidly.
Pixy Stix
He tried to pretend he had brought his own blue candy and eaten that, but when she checked her bag, she had an odd number of Pixy Stix remaining--and she always eats them in even numbers.
Update
Update: same.
Timothy
I was introduced to him as Tim. That is not his name.
Whale Experience
Whales being like Goldfish crackers.
Statistical Analysis
In which I am Woollyfoot…we are all Woollyfoot…
Vegetable Oil
Seventeen 150s. That is a whole lot of 150s. And also don't worry, that's only vegetable oil he's spewing, although that's still gross. They were technically playing Truth or Dare, but no one dared him to do that.
Arena
Okay, that's fair, but it still sounds funny.
Eighty
Was it really? She meant that the only number on the paper that was in the eighties was eighty itself.
Definition Of Snow
This was six years ago.
Cincinnati
…And this was close to two years ago.
Berry Fields
At least she has berries.
Baguettes
Weird ceiling stains…
Fog City
Actually, I have seen a couple of foxes around here.
Hawaiian Punch
He had already had the revelation that he was Food-Aniplume.
Good Potato
His original potato was better than the one I drew for this comic.
In The Hood
Hood as in fume hood, because she's a chemistry teacher.
Phosphate
Disclaimer: do not do this.
No Class
Well, it is cause for celebration.
Oreo People
Nilla wafers were the primary part of my Sad Keebler lunches.
Laze Chip
That's actually a pretty good name for them, I guess. Still gross.
Moonlight
I mean, this year it didn't snow in January or February either. (Maybe? I don't remember it snowing in January, but the beginning of January feels like it was years ago, so maybe I've just forgotten.)
Raised Hand
AP physics. It is not nearly as scary as I expected it to be, but it's not exactly easy either.
Red Scooter
To be a cool kid, the only criterion is having a red car.
Sausage Nose
I guess I can see where she came up with that name, but it still sounds funny.
Specialize
Missing the point…?
Talented
That was definitely a threat.
Vegetarian Doughnut
I forget what she actually meant, but it wasn't "doughnut."
Where To Sit
He wasn't.
Zero To Sixty
Ternblaze likes to antagonize Nighttail.
Yelled At Them
Well, yes.
Twenties
One time a freshman jokingly told Copperpelt to answer a question with "420." He didn't realize 420 had a meaning, so he actually said it.
Golden Age
When did this golden age happen? Though we are living in a golden age now: calculators are advanced enough to type in notes and equations, but not so advanced that AP bans them outright. (I mean, some are, but there are enough older ones…)
Grindin'
That sounds pretty gross.
Lightbulbs
Pretty sure no lightbulbs means no lightbulbs.
Challenger
Too late.
Babysitter
That would be…interesting.
Pack Mule
Her pack mule was absent.
Pecs
I mean, now I won't either.
Pick A Seat
Same thing, really.
Points To Ponder
Apparently the beard is not a requirement.
Electrocution Kid
We don't think he meant to be creepy. He was just trying to be quiet (yes, he said that very quietly), and he decided to say this because there was a question that mentioned electric chairs (with the answer being "cruel and unusual punishment"). But it was definitely creepy.
Sagittarius
The constellation supposedly looks like a teapot.
Pumpkin Carriage
Apparently everyone in past years has hated this teacher. I don't know why.
That Came Out Wrong
I forget what it was.
Rotting Human Flesh
This was, of course, written in Nighttail's assignment.
Smooshed
"Smoosh" is a gross word, but it sounds exactly like what it means, so I guess it's a good one.
Shaving Cream
I don't think anyone was hoping to do that.
Thrill
Well, that's one way of putting it.
Pretzel King
He and Slick have to duel for dominion over pretzels. I'd say advantage goes to Nighttail unless robots are fair game to be used, and then Nighttail still has a decent chance.
The Garbage Can
For once, she actually threw away her own trash.
Spoonerisms
Adderbite almost crashed her car once because she was thinking about "bumble tuggy."
Twilight Of The Gods
Ultimate showdown: a literal god vs. nigh-indestructible vampires. Who will triumph?
Tunage
That might depend on what she means by "people." Fun fact: the first time I got in Adderbite's car, the song on the radio was Highway to Hell. She changed it to her own playlist, though.
What Do You Get
I can never set foot in Chipotle without thinking of that one guy from a few years back who definitely liked me. It was such an awkward experience. I will probably never see him again. Not that he was creepy, but I didn't know what to do at all, and at least that part is over.
Working Out
She didn't initially mean to say a pun, but she did notice afterward.
Unique Fact
2600 comics.
COMICS 2601-2700
Big Whiteboard
Yes, it is.
Cactuses
The "cactuses" are her leg hair.
Coming Back
This is only tangentially related to the comic. Please know that even though I'm uploading this in late February, this happened September of last year. I am still very behind.
Arts And Crafts
They actually did a lab where they made paint. Guess who got to clean the flasks!
Croissant Jellyfish
Whatever she was looking at.
Demographic
Nighttail is my heart and soul?
Hawaiian Punch, Part Two
Well, she's not lying.
Chill Out
These comics have done wonders for my memory.
I Don't Know These People #131
White Cat might have been Clearfeather, but I didn't know him when I drew this, and I wasn't sure if it was him once we were introduced.
I Don't Know These People #132
A story for the ages.
I Don't Know These People #133
I didn't actually see this; Alliumwing dropped a paper with this written on it, because apparently she heard this and wrote it down to put it in her quote book. Don't worry, I didn't steal her paper.
I Don't Know These People #134
Not sure why I made this a comic, but here it is.
I Don't Know These People #135
Right. Gray Cat was about to sit in the row behind Brown Tabby in the Omnimax theater.
Massachusetts
Along with their unilluminated lightbulbs.
So Quiet
One time he was out for a week. Those days might as well not have happened.
Profile Picture
Same.
This Is Halloween
For clarity, this happened around the beginning of October, again, even though it's February now.
Walks Out
They're talking about the Massachusetts/lightbulbs teacher.
Shave
He sounded so done.
Spaceship
The spaceship is one of the other houses on my street. It doesn't really look like a spaceship, but it does have kind of weird windows in the front.
Paper Clip Water
Why would you keep a vat of boiling paper clip water in a pocket? Based on Nogalfur’s reaction, I’m not sure if this means a vat of boiling water that has paper clips in it or a vat of boiling melted paper clips.
Over Nine Thousand
…
Waited Four Years
Me.
Worst Enemy
Long story.
Zodiac Sign
Well, there goes Nighttail's image here…apparently everyone hates Geminis?
Ceiling Waffle
The light…looked like a waffle. I wasn’t being “random.”
Crying Over There
As in the sound is him breathing, not that he's crying because of his breathing.
Good Vs Evil
The marker sounds unnecessary.
Bless You
Yes, but that's okay.
Constitution
Sorry the text keeps getting small.
I Don't Know These People #136
These are the same people from the last one of these.
I Don't Know These People #137
Center of the life…care…?
I Don't Know These People #138
I would say same, but I think I know well enough.
I Don't Know These People #139
A true artist.
I Don't Know These People #140
I didn’t do Lima Bean justice, but close enough.
More Important
No, it's not a trolley problem.
Not Sleeping
That's about how I sleep.
Proud Of You
Nighttail will talk about anything at any time.
Slip 'N Slide
And also volunteer information we didn't need to know.
Smooshed, Part Two
Not sure exactly what the context of that was.
Locker Box
I don't know what ring she's talking about. Yes, Lilypetal stuck out her tongue.
Scarfy
I feel like the scarf had a fancy pattern, but I don't remember what it was.
Scraped My Knee
That's good, at least.
IQR
We were doing a box-and-whisker plot of everyone's height.
Not As Edgy
You lose all pretense of edge when you start debating geometry.
The Birds
Cinnamontuft looked…I guess awestruck is accurate, but so is frightened.
Swallow Gum
To be fair, Lynxtuft didn't mean to.
So Little Time
Chemistry is great.
What One House
This was in regard to the book The Road.
Thumbs Up
This is like when Cobaltwhisker left his locker open.
Break A Limb
This turned out to be prophetic: I broke my toe the day before Thanksgiving. We milked that limp for all it was worth.
Chain Reaction
The seats have since been settled.
Descended
Sure it did. (Notice that she gestured upward as she said it.)
Easy
I think he meant that a peanut was an easy salty snack?
Call Salad
He also frantically checked his phone when she called Emeraldheart to ask him if he remembered a tour guide's name. (She really was calling Emeraldheart. Brackenclaw, who was with us, also remembered the tour guide.)
Box And Whiskers
He didn't follow through, fortunately.
Coffins
I feel like there was context months ago.
Brought Ice Cream
I mean, her arm is still attached.
Electrocution Kid, Part Two
I met Spotstep about nine months after the electrocution kid thing.
Already Wednesday
"Well, we have a quiz every Wednesday."
Fates
This was the one typo he caught in his PowerPoints. He makes a lot of typos.
Hurts
That's not good.
Half Blanket
Or whatever those chairs look like.
My Ghost
I say something weird to Tealwhisker every day. Though there was that time I silently gave her a six-second wink instead.
My Ghost, Part Two
Usually multiple weird things.
I Look At You
Get it?
Of The Opinion
He'd fit right in here.
Ogives
Darterfang would be pleased.
Organized
An organized chart.
Seventy-Five
Wonder what that other number could be.
Toothpaste Tube
I hate finding tubes in my toothpaste.
Your Shapes
Those awful shapes.
Snap Story
Does the recycling bin have Kanchilheart's face on it?
This Picture
It was supposed to be Nighttail himself, and the lines represented his mind going in all different directions. Not sure why he didn't give himself hair.
That Shirt
Nice.
Arts And Crafts, Part Two
The paint was really gross. It was decent paint, but I was in charge of cleaning the flasks.
Grump City
What an apt name.
Hair Taste
I wonder why.
Index Card
Honestly, same.
Debunk
I don't know what the myth was.
Moonwalk
She then left practice. Multiple people asked me whether she had known it was actually "moonwalk."
Blaming
Jasperstripe and Nighttail could easily be a comedic duo. Like, it doesn't come through in the comics, but they could. Although Nighttail definitely genuinely hates Jasperstripe. Not sure about the other way around.
Bud
Chill.
Competitive
This is a perfect word.
Ice Bath
I spent way too much time coloring that in.
Out The Other
…Oh.
Quatrain
I would probably much prefer this to learning about poetry.
Punny
It could be worse.
Not Mad
We missed a question about soul music.
Never Good
It was something like how her mom was being stubborn about a family trip.
Silver Spoon
She didn't realize.
Offer To Talk
For once.
Respect
…Hence soulless.
September Twenty-First
Needless to say, this happened quite a while back.
Same Font
Crisis averted.
Water And A Phone
Uh oh.
Thinner
I guess that's still accurate.
The Road
"Happily" is relative, but I agree.
Sixth Period
That's me?
String Cheese
Sounds…appetizing. 2700 comics, which is also eighteen 150s, which is a lot…!
COMICS 2701-2800
Andrews
Well, hey, maybe he'll be president someday.
Cat Food
Same thing.
Caret
It's settled.
Crushing Dreams
It was…a fruit snack wrapper, I think?
Never Doubt
How inspiring.
Not Welcome
Well, I can tell when I'm not wanted…
Bubbling
You could almost say it was aggressively carbonated. If it had been carbonation that was making the bubbles.
Dirty Mirror
Just filthy.
Hospital
That doesn't sound good.
Bust Every One
He was on problem thirty, but they started right around there, not at problem one.
On The Moon
Little g is gravity.
Pool Time
Not sure how politically feasible that is, but okay.
Quotes And Inferences
We were supposed to make single-slide presentations. His group's ended up three slides long. A different time, the Victorious theme song was part of his presentation.
Pregnant
I doubt that's the problem with this scenario.
Regularly
I would say "me," but I actually do it the afternoon it's due, after stats is over but before school ends.
Selfie Stick
Nighttail sounded genuinely thrilled to get to tell this story.
Post-Apocalyptic
Okay, so in The Road, "the fire" is symbolic, basically for hope/life. But still.
Tabatha
I guess that is how things work.
Table Two
…She continues to yell, at odds with what the rest of her table keeps insisting.
Turn Back Time
This lost all rhythm in the conversion to warrior names.
Writing One Paragraph
Soon we'll be back to writing five.
Walk Down
So I'm not sure if I mentioned this at all when it happened, but last November I broke my toe and got an elevator pass.
Will Not Listen
It would be ridiculous to expect him to listen to that.
Volunteer Scribe
This teacher talks so much. Nighttail can't stand Zorilstripe, but I think he's entertaining.
Wet Bread Bowl
The sass-off always brightens my day.
Baby Yaga
It was originally a typo.
Confuse
She was talking about court cases.
Duded Up
Sometimes I wish I hadn't established that every comic has a commentary. The teacher’s face is strange because I accidentally positioned it in the hole in the notebook paper.
Being A Thief
This is the kind of joke I tell, to be fair.
Hairy Old People
I don't remember the context. I think it's better without.
Great Britain
All right, I'll give him that one.
Hack Into
Driftspots is too smart. I don’t think he actually hacked in, but I don’t doubt he has the ability.
Actually Hates
Smiling is Stonefrost's equivalent of bursting into laughter. (One could also say "hooting.")
Fourth Place Milkshakes
I don't remember, but knowing us, we probably did get fourth place milkshakes.
Elf Door
I mean, it's not really a door, but it sure looks like one.
KFC Breakfast
I can't argue with that.
Official
There are now several fish in the tank.
Internet Polls
That's not really a poll, but even besides that.
Let's Count
Interactive. (By the way, I made up the actual numbers, but “six” means there are six different numbers represented in the set.)
Not Working
Sounds like he would have been happy either way.
Prime Numbered Sets
I'm so impressed.
Piece Of Paper
I could probably manage that.
Midlife Crisis
Obviously this happened years ago, but back on wcf I was too worried about sticking to the rules to imply my age too strongly. I know I bent the rules a lot, but saying that I was thirteen would have been undeniably breaking.
Ruining Memes
I did not expect to see this person memeing, but apparently he memes a lot.
Secret Past In A Dance Class
Uh huh. That’s what they all say.
Teletubbies
The conversation wasn't exactly heated, but it was far too heated for a conversation about the Teletubbies.
This Weekend
Not quite sure how to take that.
Talked About This
There's a person in one of this teacher's classes whose name Nighttail read on the index cards. It's a (relatively…?) rare name. He became obsessed with her; the teacher insists that she (the other person, not the teacher) is creeped out by the whole ordeal, but apparently she's started following Nighttail on social media and thinks the situation is hilarious.
States As Names
He meant to say New York, but New Nork is even better.
Way To Complain
He did.
Angust
Emberheart pronounced "angst" that way once.
Don't Want To
This was back during the Pokémon Go days. I still play, but she doesn't.
Clone
"He's technically my clone." - Stonefrost
Blockbuster
I can already feel the horror.
Drastic Statistic
She has also used it since.
Evil Twin
100%. If he has a twin somewhere, that is.
Forever Indebted
I really don't think Surge is as rare as Thunderpelt claimed it was.
Glycolysis
See, you can learn things from these comics.
In A Fight
He had nicked himself while shaving.
Knock Us All Down
Maybe I should have taken her up on that while I still had the chance. (Not because I want to hit her, just because she’d pay me.)
Lost Permission Slip
I'm not saying anything.
Not Giving Birth
My hands are currently blue and purple from tie-dyeing shirts. I made a blue/green/peach one for myself and a purple one (thanks, Slick) for Adderbite.
Monkeys
He immediately told us to forget he had ever asked that.
Not Least
He did, but that's okay.
Nucleus Absorption
Not sure you can decline your own offer.
Magnetic Words
A few more poems…
tercet:
No ghostly devil shalt woo
My sharp tomato bird who
Is almost never drowning too
cinquain:
Wherefore speak his dream as woe
His visible curse she doth bestow
With perfect murmur he loath grow
Investigate thou by winter go
Envy perilous garden though
quatrain:
Thence no holy work night light
Lazy dictionary would desire not
Full player shalt bloom between fight
Farewell to whatsoever silent thought
free verse?:
Forswear breathing
A business decision
Each vast dark spider catching light
As time dost make more steam
song:
Compel vulgar elaborate trifle light
Translucent howl must see seemly
Transgress lime is some monster fight
Understand not jester poisonly
Opposite Dream
Spiderfang had asked me to draw a picture of a pig chasing her and Mousefern around. The pig was supposed to have the face of a guy in the orchestra. Spiderfang was supposed to be enjoying herself while Mousefern was scared.
Out Of My Hoodie
Look. These two are obnoxious and I did not enjoy hanging out with them. However, they have some great moments, if you just sit back and watch instead of trying to engage in conversation with them.
Potato Soup
That's a lot of potato soup.
Pessimist
I was (mostly) joking. There are worse things than being a robot nerd. And…I also can't argue.
Teletubbies, Part Two
I feel like Capewhisker and Junebugtail agreed, but Adderbite thought that was disgusting.
Trophy
One time I was moving my medals, and jam spreader commented on my Bob Marley impression. She meant Jacob Marley.
That Triangle
I didn't need anyone to walk me to class, but it was an excuse for Tealwhisker to leave class early.
Store The Flame
It would be like Hermione's book one blue fire jar.
Time Travel Thumb
…He either came up with this on the spot or had given it prior thought. I'm not sure which interpretation I prefer. Probably the latter?
December
It is a good description.
Desecrating
We weren't at our own school. The teachers' lounge at the school we were at is called the (School Name) Pit.
Collective Noun
To be fair, if you don't know the actual term, then this is a reasonable guess.
Commie
It was actually a "comet." I don't remember how he made it.
Backflip On Ice
…Not the same person.
Fell Down
Yeah, probably.
Ballerina
She was talking to Cinnamontuft, who is a really good dancer but not a big fan of dancing.
Librarian
"Bother--" and Jasperstripe is in.
Forty Packs
Water bottles are Satan because of some particular chemical in the plastic.
Fired
I guess this was the meme she ruined.
Loch Ness Monster
I'm not sure what he was actually talking about.
Paradox
Mini Thunderpelt is a lot more tolerable than real Thunderpelt.
Off A Ladder
I always eat apples on ladders.
No Flaws
Driftspots had two laptops in his backpack.
Not Wednesday
It was Saturday.
Pen Tattoo
The white cat on the left is a specific person but without a cat name. I've done that in previous comics, too; I just wanted to be clear here.
Pen Tattoo, Part Two
…I did not see this "tattoo," so I have no idea.
Shave Her Head
It was a bet. Not that the teacher had any intention of shaving her head even if she lost. I don't know whether she lost or not, though.
Mystery Ball
Sorry for the small text, but Nighttail talks a lot.
Stratosphere
I would love to come up with a clever pun, but it's 11:47 P.M. on a Friday, and I am both exhausted and sick.
Test Scores
Penguinmist: …"Can we trade?"
Ten Percent
This was the weird thing I said to Tealwhisker today.
Top Teeth
They both took an extremely rigorous anatomy class together last year. It's the most…intense? class the school offers. "Front ones."
To California
Remember, we live in Kentucky.
Teletubbies, Part Three
2800 comics! I can't believe this.
COMICS 2801-2900
Few Words
How?
Cheese Curls
I understand the feeling.
Dates
As you can see, I am rapidly burning through the backlog. As of now it's down to 125; it was over 600 a few months ago.
History With Hot Chocolate
Once she spilled hot chocolate in a bag with her 3DS.
George Foreman Grill
I guess he has a point…? I don't know if it's a good point, but it's a point.
Maracas
I feel like his spots weren't symmetrical? I can't find a good reference for his right side.
All These Cities
City city (copyright Nighttail 2016).
Gamble
For the record, that was not gambling. On a slightly related note, last summer I had so many people ask me if I counted cards when we played. We also did not gamble, and no, I don't know how to count cards.
Court Cases
I was about to say that I was proud that I've maintained an A all year, but I checked my grades just now to make sure I wasn't lying…and for the fourth quarter so far I have a B-. We have almost no grades in for fourth quarter yet, though, and she's putting in test corrections on Monday, so it'll go back up soon enough.
Google Search
For several months, whenever anyone in that class needed help, they would pretty much call me over, then change their minds and call Driftspots over. They've now stopped asking me at all. I'm perfectly willing to help; they just trust Driftspots more.
Nicomachean Ethics
Once, instead of saying something creepy to Tealwhisker, I handed her a piece of paper that was folded into sixteenths and had three hearts drawn on it. She unfolded it to find a single word: Nickelback.
Not Secure
If "they" are computers, then I can't argue.
No Holes
His group was going to use a greenscreen to be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for a project about turtles.
Not Many Bones
…All right.
Stripies
I think it was the sketch for the comic Actually Hates.
Salmon-Eating
Well, then, we're all on the same page.
Rubies
That sounds painful.
Mystery Ball, Part Two
He wound up putting the M&M next to the index card with the name of the person he was obsessed with.
Some Cheese
Some cheese would be a lot better than a test.
Out Of The Table
As a bonus, that's not even a Sham-Wow. It's a napkin. I mean, do you KNOW the color of a Sham-Wow?
Tuck And Roll
Why not?
Use Your Knowledge
Bio is a great class. At times.
Writhing
This was his TMNT greenscreen shirt.
Vision For America
So Adderbite, Breccianose, a girl who doesn’t have a cat name, and I did a video project on The Merchant of Venice (we called it The Babe of Belmont); the plot was essentially that Bassanio (Breccianose), Shylock, and Nerissa (me) all flirted with Portia (Adderbite) at a party before the events of the real story. I bought the money glasses for the girl who played Shylock (she ended up being too small to wear the costume jam spreader got for her, but she also took off the money glasses partway through the video--which on reflection is probably a big part of why our video only won second place). I then let Adderbite use the money glasses as her gift in a white elephant exchange with the academic team. The gift I opened (from Spiderfang) was a minion, but I stuck Copperpelt with that in exchange for Nerf blowdarts (which Adderbite then used, so she traded me the little model car building set she got, since she'd had her mouth all over the darts). I told Spiderfang that she would love Adderbite's gift, so she chose it and actually got to keep it. The gift I gave was finger puppets, which Aniplume was happy to get.
Sulfuric Acid
To be fair, Driftspots is probably immune to acid damage anyway.
Brother
It turns out Candlekid (Sootscorch) was hissing because he thought she was talking about Curlcloud's younger brother. She was actually asking about Curlcloud's older brother--Slick.
Ears
Why not?
Smell The Dirt
She said this to Penguinmist. It was a lab about soils.
Comforted
Analyze the relationship, huh?
Artichoke
The person who bought people artichokes was Cinnamontuft's sister, who is the closest thing I've ever met to a real-life Mary Sue, and yet she's real and not even annoying so you can't even hate her. I mean, I'm sure it's possible, but…
Four Minutes Ago
Did you know that I can catch a knife with any part of my body?
Good At
That is true.
Instead Of Multiple Choice
Well, obviously.
Hamilton
I mean, he did say "a ham."
Jitterbug
…Did I mishear this? I don't think so, but it doesn't make any sense.
Khaki Pants
I'm not sure what it was that he got.
Maracas, Part Two
It was a mix of painful and hilarious to listen to their (Pebblefall, Buzzardsplash, someone I don't know) argument about maracas. The person I don't know actually got it right but then second-guessed themselves; they eventually settled on Pebblefall's guess (the above), although that person was still a little bit unsure (and actually said, "Isn't that a country?" which, for the record, is accurate).
Owls
She was trying to figure out what the things on her socks were.
Last Tournament
One of my biggest regrets in life is that I didn't play broomball the one time I had a chance. It's like hockey but with rubber shoes instead of skates, a ball instead of a puck, and brooms instead of sticks. I am about the least athletic person in the world, so I would have been terrible, but it looked fun.
No Cup
He was perfectly willing to dump out the highlighters and fill it with water anyway, but she stopped him.
Middle Initial
Well, their middle initials are X and Q, so all right, I'll give them that.
Plays The Violin
But which one is it?
Sixth Grade
In case the title isn't a good enough explanation, this happened in sixth grade. Maybe on the first day, maybe the second?
Recognize
Everyone is a stretch, but okay.
Stay Sad
This was during a discussion of a book, but I can't remember which book.
Stressed Syllables
I can relate to those syllables.
Vessels
ElasticBob?
Toast It
I guess it is kind of weird, but it's probably less weird than not calling it toast.
Your Name
I don't know why they did that.
Universal Idea
Not pictured: a few weeks prior, Jaggedtuft unplugged Adderbite's laptop to charge his own…without asking. She mimed hitting him over the head with it to Lynxtuft; he didn't notice. Also, we are now at nineteen 150s; that's a lot!
Chilled
Meaning he will chill out. (He didn't.)
AP Bio
That sounds like a better class, really.
Definition Of Doors
I don't know what could possibly depend on that.
Green Bananas
When they're flecked with brown and have a golden hue, bananas taste the best and are the best for you! You can put them in a salad… (Me?) No, not yet, my dear! That greenish way you're looking means that you are right for cooking! (How 'bout me?) No, no! When you are fully ripe, my dear, those little flecks of brown appear… (Me?) You're most digestible, my friend--delicious, too, from end to end!
Lids Down
He's going to…kill her lid…?
How Many High Schoolers
I know Jaggedtuft's return was awaited eagerly by some of you…
Berlin
He was talking about a very strange map of Germany that included a mouse playing a banjo.
February March
Is Monday Friday?
Consonance
Same.
Ears, Part Two
Evidence begins to accumulate that Driftspots is the new and improved model of robot…
Model Boy
That's news to me.
Nilla Wafers
This makes me think of the licking spoons IDKTP. It also makes me think of my Sad Keebler lunches.
Operation
I'm not sure what was wrong with it.
Pop-Tart Crust
Adderbite used to yell at Jaggedtuft for peeling his Pop-Tarts.
My Valentine
Cobaltwhisker does not have the easiest time around Valentine's Day.
Rhode Island
He insisted on tracing a map of the entire U.S. instead of just the original colonies-turned-states.
Life Together
I'm not even trying.
Slick Surface
The matchbox is almost exactly the same color as the teacher…? I didn't mean for that to happen.
Say What Say What
Stats is an awful class.
Ronald Reagan
What a guy.
The Clash
One time I wore a The Clash shirt (it was decades day), and the physics teacher got out records and a turntable from the physics storeroom (???) and had us listen to The Clash and The Ramones.
Unevolve
Later he asked if I was okay, and I told him I was fine except for the damage done to my soul by the doughnut holes. He and Ladybugtail found it hilarious.
Some Water
J'aime eau!
Stapled
This was the same map of Germany. There was a picture of grapes, but whoever stapled it to the wall put about ten staples over the grapes.
Who Your True Friends Are
"The forums are gonna flip out about that one." Go ahead; make Adderbite's day.
Bite-Sized
I do not know what the context of this was. I feel like I understand it, but then again…what?
Boulder
Well, all right.
Chocolate Chips
In her defense, someone had brought weird flavored Pringles, so the idea of strange chip flavors was logical. That said…
Concentrated Chlorine
Not sure that's a good idea, even for a fish.
Best Feature
I'm willing to agree with that.
Creepily
She was late to class, but a janitor unlocked the door and let us in. We shut the door and all sat in our correct seats with the lights off, talking quietly.
Cry Me A River
Me…
Candlekid
I'm glad someone appreciates the thoughtful nickname Adderbite and I came up with. (Candlekid has shown up selling candles for fundraisers multiple times while Adderbite was at my house.)
Dora The Explorer
I don't think there was even a reason for her to be saying this at the time.
Fifth Thousandth
That's a pretty drastic statistic.
I Don't Know These People #141
The artist of Lima Bean returns! How thought-provoking.
I Don't Know These People #142
Wow, really?
I Don't Know These People #143
Better than moments, zero.
I Don't Know These People #144
Maybe…to the other side of the room.
I Don't Know These People #145
Looked fun.
Making Noises
Well, thanks for the warning.
Master Chef
This had something to do with a lab using pennies. I was the one who had to clean the pennies beforehand. The chemical smelled really bad, and I'm glad I checked the label, because apparently it would have destroyed my hands. (To be fair, I would have gotten gloves before anything that smelled like that, but still.)
Ratio
MOUSEFERN $$$$$
Ronald Reagan, Part Two
Evidence of Robot Driftspots continues to pile up…I’m not sure if I’ve told this story yet, but I’m telling it now anyway. One time we were at Hotel Pillow’s house for the new year; he had this gigantic jar of jelly beans, and he told me I could eat as many as I wanted. Now, some of the beans were licorice, which I hate. Other beans were blackberry, which I love. Hotel Pillow told me they were impossible to tell apart. They were not--the licorice beans were a solid black, while the blackberry beans were glossy and almost cloudy-looking! So basically what I’m getting at is I ate virtually all of his blackberry beans and only one of his gross licorice beans.
Saved Your Life
Physics is a disaster. Mostly in a good way, but I suddenly don't know any of the equations, so there's that.
Not Here
He didn't actually leave, although he has done that before.
Schadenfreude
Schadenfreude means getting enjoyment from others' suffering. The word comes from German, so the a in "schaden" sounds like a short "o," and the "freude" part is like "froid-eh."
Three Beyoncé Children
No one joined in.
Stevie Wonder
I don't remember the full story. It had something to do with Cobaltwhisker either singing or making a playlist, and every song was Stevie Wonder.
Some Of Those
Distracting Pretzels (Sandclaw) and Slick would also have some of those pretzels if they were there. 2900 comics!
COMICS 2901-3000
I Don't Know These People #146
This is all I heard of this story. I wish I had heard more.
I Don't Know These People #147
And never thought to, you know, measure your height…?
I Don't Know These People #148
Personally, I'd be more worried about the soap.
I Don't Know These People #149
I'm a tea guy.
I Don't Know These People #150
Look, a whole 150 of these things! That's so many 150s!
Fake Friend
Nighttail took the valentine back, changed the name on it, and gave it to Leafstream.
Delicately
It's something Driftspots would do.
Fatten
At least it's convenient.
Calc-You-Later
I made a program on Tealwhisker's calculator called "RUACALC" and if you use it, all it does is display "ARE YOU A CALCULATOR? BECAUSE I'LL CALC-YOU-LATER"
Forgot Fork
I will never stop.
Kocoum
She sounded like grump city (copyright Nighttail 2016). Sorry Nighttail’s singing looks like a captcha; I wanted to try making it wobbly to represent that he was singing instead of speaking, but…like I said, it just looks like a captcha.
Characterlike
We were reading The Importance of Being Earnest.
Cabinet Head
The greatest mystery of our time.
Bowl Cuts
Adderbite and I have now introduced Lynxtuft and Cinnamontuft to Kpop.
More Vocal
I mean, the question part is pretty important.
Only Food Source
He had several Cheezits.
Toledo Watch
Wouldn't that be a Toledo warning?
Ten Mints
Aniplume?
Was A Zombie
Cobaltwhisker is a zombie, though.
Tomato Watch
The teacher refused for a while to take us down to the hallway where we're supposed to sit for tornadoes. Don't worry; we live in a hilly place, so there isn't much danger.
What Is N
"SIN" stands for simple random sample, independent, and Normal.
Only Food Source, Part Two
When Nighttail came back, he did give Cobaltwhisker a Cheezit.
Read This Book
Lynxtuft, upon reading this comic: Did he really say that!?
Skin Flag
Spiderfang interviewed a few of her friends. They were all pretty entertaining, but this was the only interview worth drawing.
Wants Pants
He was still wearing pants. Not sure why he had extra shorts, but he's in theatre stuff all the time, so I would guess it was for something in theatre.
Break The Clock
Bad idea.
Drag Him
Muscles then proceeded to drag him. I think this time she was dragging Yoongi from BTS.
Fear Me
Wow, terrifying.
Being Annoying
I'm not sure how Shellpelt became their mom.
Full-Grown
I think this was also in reference to Kpop.
Floor Six Hundred Sixty-Six
We were trying to find room 666--it didn't exist. Checking the fourth floor, we found that it didn't have a room 466 either--however, since it had a 665 and a 667 as well as a 465 and a 467, I think they purposely skipped the room -66 on every floor. We also tried to find room 420; it didn't exist either, but I think that was a coincidence. There was, of course, no floor 13.
Get Wheel
Puns are terrible. No exceptions.
Gonna Happen
It did indeed happen.
Cottage
So the boulder and the cottage are both out, I guess.
Any Green
The green thing is a jacket.
Not A Mouse
In this comic he does, but he's still not a mouse. He was telling Junebugtail that she would have to speak louder.
Scan
With our…cyborg minds?
Required
I would have included me saying what it actually said, but I don't remember what the word was that I read as "required;" it was the name of a…company, or something, in an online ad. "Clam" was actually "claim."
Not Guilty
That's, uh, more than a little steep.
No Candy Bar
It was not St. Patrick's Day. It was March, though.
Robot Blood
He does look like a vampire.
Shoe Untied
He left the room when she asked whether he meant he had already tied them or already tripped.
Skype Test
We were testing out using Skype on the projector. Lilypetal went to another room. I think hydrobromic acid is pretty cool (perchloric has a nice name too), but I have come to respect nitric acid. One time when I was unpacking the newly delivered chemistry bottles, one of them was nitric acid. Most of the bottles say things like "Warning: Corrosive to tissues. Avoid contact with skin or eyes." and are just, you know, bottles. Not nitric acid. Warning: Extremely corrosive. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. It can explode. Also, the bottle has to be stored in a big prism of Styrofoam. That is tighter security than the hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid I unpacked on the same day.
Stirring Coffee
I think Leafstream brought in fancy coffee and fancy mugs for her whole table.
That Annoying
Cresswhisker is pretty short. Unfortunately so am I. She's talking about middle schoolers, though.
Watershake
…No, for one major reason. Though I guess an orangejuiceshake might be, like, an orange smoothie?
Two Puppies
Wow, I guess he wins.
Two Coats
Lynxtuft's coat was on her lap.
Where Is Everyone
We are raised to live and then to die…
Weak Shoulders
He kicked Leafstream's arm, and she dropped her phone.
I Don't Know These People #151
Better than expensive friends.
I Don't Know These People #152
This happened in the school elevator.
I Don't Know These People #153
They were looking at a little book of famous people, and they agreed that Holst looked familiar, but since they didn't know who he was, they were pretty sure he looked like someone else.
I Don't Know These People #154
Well, that's good.
I Don't Know These People #155
This was at a pool.
Booboo
I want to know just how long Cobaltwhisker has been that guy.
Avocados
Someone probably has written something called that.
Cared More
Wildthorn has not changed since I met him in fourth grade. He is somehow up for "Most Changed" for the yearbook. Of course I voted for him. If any of the others had deserved to win I would have voted for them, but they don't. Update: Wildthorn didn’t win. I forget who did.
Car Salesman Dealer
She's talking about Call Me Baby by EXO.
Bottled Water
It looked like nice bottled water.
More Fun Than
I was quizzing her on some idioms.
Descartes
Wow, that's a really original joke.
Goes To Sleep
Can I just say…if you're still reading these, thank you for sticking around for so long. Even if you haven't been, like, a long-time reader, you've stayed for almost 3000 comics now.
Hate Physics
I know I want to do something science-y, but chemistry has scary chemicals, and biology has dead things. Math is boring, but I'm pretty good at it, and there are some cool things once you get to a big enough or small enough scale in physics.
Catheters
Wow, how edgy. Last year Adderbite saw dead bodies all the time for a class she was taking. That class is not happening this year, as far as I know.
More Fun Than, Part Two
I prefer both "pudding" and "basket of biscuits" to "barrel of monkeys."
Rigid Bodies
Physics…
Point Eight
Zorilstripe knows that .8 is big in stats, but that's beside the point.
Muscular Babies
I bet Muscles was a muscular baby, but people still liked her.
Single Word
She meant s. It took her way too long to realize she had just said a word starting with s.
When I Was Born
That would make him very old.
Phytoplanktons
Adderbite was talking about how some phytoplankton look.
Pieces Of Dust
In the second panel, he's talking about her sandwich thing. She had two of them.
Piece Of Cake
Besides the staple.
Work Ethic
If I had a work ethic there would not be 2975 comics. There would be, I don't know, 200 at most.
Big-Headed
She was talking about faces on money.
Free Books
He was trying to convince Cobalwhisker to shave his head, I think. It was a little unclear. For bonus points, not only is it a library, but Cobaltwhisker works there.
Duct Tape Problem
But then he wouldn't be able to leave.
Broke Him
This is her new thing.
Any More Ice Cream
I mean, what did he expect was going to happen?
Gray Side
Adderbite was talking about their cat.
Everyone's Easter
Nighttail loved his gavel.
Harambe
I don't want to know why Harambe would be at the aquarium.
More Fun Than, Part Three
I also like this one more than the real one. But of course I would.
Hot Stuff
NO, IT IS LAVA!
Parliamentarian
She let him go to the water fountain.
PPCCI
PPCCI is a stats thing, and you say "puh-picky."
Motherly
She was talking about Muscles' mom. Muscles' dad is an immortal vampire.
Ps And Qs
The reason the title says Q instead of B is that the variables in the equation were p and q, not p and b.
Run Into Walls
I thought we had moved on.
Said It
Breccianose finally becomes part of the regular comic! She was the one who said she would stab Jayflight with an exclamation point three years ago.
Snowing Inside
I wonder whose fault that is.
Sunkist
I don't know what they were actually talking about.
Talked To Her
Nope, no one has ever talked to Airclaw. The teacher meant that morning, since Airclaw was absent.
The Greeters
This happened just over five years ago. The three cats in the last panel are the people the greeters (Maplepelt, Marblenose, and Iolitegaze) were supposed to be waiting for.
Upside Down Glasses
It's bad enough that they can stay on his forehead. They don't need to be upside down.
The Internet
That's exactly the same thing.
The Internet, Part Two
Sure he did.
Warts
Why would he look up pictures of warts!?
Wear Their Skin
Well, we all know that Adderbite and I wear Stonefrost's skin. Also, this is 3000 comics, which is the equivalent of twenty 150s! That's so many 150s!
COMICS 2501-2600
Chairs, Part Two
Yes, she loves chairs.
Fill Me Up
My comics are finally complete…
Hold Me Closer
At this point, I had never heard the real song.
Analyze The Relationship
But what about Musclesxchairs?
Like Cheetos
He gave no further explanation.
Actual Die
Well, okay then.
Ladies' Man
A skeletons' lady, I think, was what she was going for. There’s really no way to explain this without calling attention to my sheer laziness…I tried to draw it but gave up…she was putting the hand of the school’s fake skeleton across her shoulders.
Intense Love
Intense love city (copyright Nighttail 2016).
Call Attendance
He genuinely hadn't noticed.
JFK Zone
Fun fact: Morelfoot is the one Amberfang told me years ago was like me but a cute dude.
Lipstick
…I don't remember how this came up.
Scribe
Same.
Red Lipstick
I do not know the context.
So Soft
…It makes enough sense.
Megabed 3000
Megabed 3000 was made of five mattresses and held seven people.
Needs A Hug
Yesterday Adderbite found a bunch of index cards Jonquilpetal gave her years ago. They're all coupons for free hugs from Cobaltwhisker.
Some Glitter
Sounds good, I guess.
Tango
"Tango" was what he called tangrams.
Pleasant Topics
Poor Nighttail.
Ronald Reagan Cutout
Of course.
Temperature-Wise, Part Three
I suppose this was the logical conclusion.
To Them
"Them" being Killdeerfrost and Stonefrost.
To Get Food
Okay, that is true.
Where You Sleep
…Martinfeather…
Where's The Love
Yeah, Gannetwing hugged the principal during an awards ceremony type thing.
Be Quiet
Mouth corner.
Bubble Attack
I guess it was aggressively carbonated.
Blackeyed Susan, Part Two
Yeah, I would not recommend eating blackeyed susans.
Boxing Practice
Changing the game.
Banana Peel, Part Two
He believed her.
Block
I guess.
Cannoli, Part Two
Poor Bettafin.
Deodorant
That would be pretty gross.
Doughnut Holes, Part Two
For breakfast…
Do You Have Cards
Cirrusflight had.
Elephant
Docknose had a lot of cool stories.
Favorite Fruit
He wanted to talk about favorite fruits because there was a pause in their game of paranoia. In paranoia, you quietly ask the person next to you a question (for a couple examples, “who would you want to date” or “who would you kill first”), and they have to answer with the name of someone in the circle. Everyone gets to hear the answer. Then you flip a coin. Heads means everyone gets to hear what the question was; tails means they never get to know.
No Wonder
?? ?? ? ???? ????? ? ??? ??? ?????? ?? ? ?? ? ???? ? ? ????
New Bug Bite
I mean, sure.
Megabed 3000, Part Two
Thanks, Siri. (I don’t remember who was on my other side--maybe Citruswind? Definitely someone.)
Hot Ramen Noodles
I mean, it's not like ramen noodles smell particularly bad, but…they’re only ramen noodles.
Friendship Bracelets
Better than spilling the beans.
Fanclub, Part Two
Sometimes it's better that way.
Party In The Middle Of The Night
The police cars had nothing to do with us. Also, I didn't skip moments of this. They changed between songs rapidly.
Pixy Stix
He tried to pretend he had brought his own blue candy and eaten that, but when she checked her bag, she had an odd number of Pixy Stix remaining--and she always eats them in even numbers.
Update
Update: same.
Timothy
I was introduced to him as Tim. That is not his name.
Whale Experience
Whales being like Goldfish crackers.
Statistical Analysis
In which I am Woollyfoot…we are all Woollyfoot…
Vegetable Oil
Seventeen 150s. That is a whole lot of 150s. And also don't worry, that's only vegetable oil he's spewing, although that's still gross. They were technically playing Truth or Dare, but no one dared him to do that.
Arena
Okay, that's fair, but it still sounds funny.
Eighty
Was it really? She meant that the only number on the paper that was in the eighties was eighty itself.
Definition Of Snow
This was six years ago.
Cincinnati
…And this was close to two years ago.
Berry Fields
At least she has berries.
Baguettes
Weird ceiling stains…
Fog City
Actually, I have seen a couple of foxes around here.
Hawaiian Punch
He had already had the revelation that he was Food-Aniplume.
Good Potato
His original potato was better than the one I drew for this comic.
In The Hood
Hood as in fume hood, because she's a chemistry teacher.
Phosphate
Disclaimer: do not do this.
No Class
Well, it is cause for celebration.
Oreo People
Nilla wafers were the primary part of my Sad Keebler lunches.
Laze Chip
That's actually a pretty good name for them, I guess. Still gross.
Moonlight
I mean, this year it didn't snow in January or February either. (Maybe? I don't remember it snowing in January, but the beginning of January feels like it was years ago, so maybe I've just forgotten.)
Raised Hand
AP physics. It is not nearly as scary as I expected it to be, but it's not exactly easy either.
Red Scooter
To be a cool kid, the only criterion is having a red car.
Sausage Nose
I guess I can see where she came up with that name, but it still sounds funny.
Specialize
Missing the point…?
Talented
That was definitely a threat.
Vegetarian Doughnut
I forget what she actually meant, but it wasn't "doughnut."
Where To Sit
He wasn't.
Zero To Sixty
Ternblaze likes to antagonize Nighttail.
Yelled At Them
Well, yes.
Twenties
One time a freshman jokingly told Copperpelt to answer a question with "420." He didn't realize 420 had a meaning, so he actually said it.
Golden Age
When did this golden age happen? Though we are living in a golden age now: calculators are advanced enough to type in notes and equations, but not so advanced that AP bans them outright. (I mean, some are, but there are enough older ones…)
Grindin'
That sounds pretty gross.
Lightbulbs
Pretty sure no lightbulbs means no lightbulbs.
Challenger
Too late.
Babysitter
That would be…interesting.
Pack Mule
Her pack mule was absent.
Pecs
I mean, now I won't either.
Pick A Seat
Same thing, really.
Points To Ponder
Apparently the beard is not a requirement.
Electrocution Kid
We don't think he meant to be creepy. He was just trying to be quiet (yes, he said that very quietly), and he decided to say this because there was a question that mentioned electric chairs (with the answer being "cruel and unusual punishment"). But it was definitely creepy.
Sagittarius
The constellation supposedly looks like a teapot.
Pumpkin Carriage
Apparently everyone in past years has hated this teacher. I don't know why.
That Came Out Wrong
I forget what it was.
Rotting Human Flesh
This was, of course, written in Nighttail's assignment.
Smooshed
"Smoosh" is a gross word, but it sounds exactly like what it means, so I guess it's a good one.
Shaving Cream
I don't think anyone was hoping to do that.
Thrill
Well, that's one way of putting it.
Pretzel King
He and Slick have to duel for dominion over pretzels. I'd say advantage goes to Nighttail unless robots are fair game to be used, and then Nighttail still has a decent chance.
The Garbage Can
For once, she actually threw away her own trash.
Spoonerisms
Adderbite almost crashed her car once because she was thinking about "bumble tuggy."
Twilight Of The Gods
Ultimate showdown: a literal god vs. nigh-indestructible vampires. Who will triumph?
Tunage
That might depend on what she means by "people." Fun fact: the first time I got in Adderbite's car, the song on the radio was Highway to Hell. She changed it to her own playlist, though.
What Do You Get
I can never set foot in Chipotle without thinking of that one guy from a few years back who definitely liked me. It was such an awkward experience. I will probably never see him again. Not that he was creepy, but I didn't know what to do at all, and at least that part is over.
Working Out
She didn't initially mean to say a pun, but she did notice afterward.
Unique Fact
2600 comics.
COMICS 2601-2700
Big Whiteboard
Yes, it is.
Cactuses
The "cactuses" are her leg hair.
Coming Back
This is only tangentially related to the comic. Please know that even though I'm uploading this in late February, this happened September of last year. I am still very behind.
Arts And Crafts
They actually did a lab where they made paint. Guess who got to clean the flasks!
Croissant Jellyfish
Whatever she was looking at.
Demographic
Nighttail is my heart and soul?
Hawaiian Punch, Part Two
Well, she's not lying.
Chill Out
These comics have done wonders for my memory.
I Don't Know These People #131
White Cat might have been Clearfeather, but I didn't know him when I drew this, and I wasn't sure if it was him once we were introduced.
I Don't Know These People #132
A story for the ages.
I Don't Know These People #133
I didn't actually see this; Alliumwing dropped a paper with this written on it, because apparently she heard this and wrote it down to put it in her quote book. Don't worry, I didn't steal her paper.
I Don't Know These People #134
Not sure why I made this a comic, but here it is.
I Don't Know These People #135
Right. Gray Cat was about to sit in the row behind Brown Tabby in the Omnimax theater.
Massachusetts
Along with their unilluminated lightbulbs.
So Quiet
One time he was out for a week. Those days might as well not have happened.
Profile Picture
Same.
This Is Halloween
For clarity, this happened around the beginning of October, again, even though it's February now.
Walks Out
They're talking about the Massachusetts/lightbulbs teacher.
Shave
He sounded so done.
Spaceship
The spaceship is one of the other houses on my street. It doesn't really look like a spaceship, but it does have kind of weird windows in the front.
Paper Clip Water
Why would you keep a vat of boiling paper clip water in a pocket? Based on Nogalfur’s reaction, I’m not sure if this means a vat of boiling water that has paper clips in it or a vat of boiling melted paper clips.
Over Nine Thousand
…
Waited Four Years
Me.
Worst Enemy
Long story.
Zodiac Sign
Well, there goes Nighttail's image here…apparently everyone hates Geminis?
Ceiling Waffle
The light…looked like a waffle. I wasn’t being “random.”
Crying Over There
As in the sound is him breathing, not that he's crying because of his breathing.
Good Vs Evil
The marker sounds unnecessary.
Bless You
Yes, but that's okay.
Constitution
Sorry the text keeps getting small.
I Don't Know These People #136
These are the same people from the last one of these.
I Don't Know These People #137
Center of the life…care…?
I Don't Know These People #138
I would say same, but I think I know well enough.
I Don't Know These People #139
A true artist.
I Don't Know These People #140
I didn’t do Lima Bean justice, but close enough.
More Important
No, it's not a trolley problem.
Not Sleeping
That's about how I sleep.
Proud Of You
Nighttail will talk about anything at any time.
Slip 'N Slide
And also volunteer information we didn't need to know.
Smooshed, Part Two
Not sure exactly what the context of that was.
Locker Box
I don't know what ring she's talking about. Yes, Lilypetal stuck out her tongue.
Scarfy
I feel like the scarf had a fancy pattern, but I don't remember what it was.
Scraped My Knee
That's good, at least.
IQR
We were doing a box-and-whisker plot of everyone's height.
Not As Edgy
You lose all pretense of edge when you start debating geometry.
The Birds
Cinnamontuft looked…I guess awestruck is accurate, but so is frightened.
Swallow Gum
To be fair, Lynxtuft didn't mean to.
So Little Time
Chemistry is great.
What One House
This was in regard to the book The Road.
Thumbs Up
This is like when Cobaltwhisker left his locker open.
Break A Limb
This turned out to be prophetic: I broke my toe the day before Thanksgiving. We milked that limp for all it was worth.
Chain Reaction
The seats have since been settled.
Descended
Sure it did. (Notice that she gestured upward as she said it.)
Easy
I think he meant that a peanut was an easy salty snack?
Call Salad
He also frantically checked his phone when she called Emeraldheart to ask him if he remembered a tour guide's name. (She really was calling Emeraldheart. Brackenclaw, who was with us, also remembered the tour guide.)
Box And Whiskers
He didn't follow through, fortunately.
Coffins
I feel like there was context months ago.
Brought Ice Cream
I mean, her arm is still attached.
Electrocution Kid, Part Two
I met Spotstep about nine months after the electrocution kid thing.
Already Wednesday
"Well, we have a quiz every Wednesday."
Fates
This was the one typo he caught in his PowerPoints. He makes a lot of typos.
Hurts
That's not good.
Half Blanket
Or whatever those chairs look like.
My Ghost
I say something weird to Tealwhisker every day. Though there was that time I silently gave her a six-second wink instead.
My Ghost, Part Two
Usually multiple weird things.
I Look At You
Get it?
Of The Opinion
He'd fit right in here.
Ogives
Darterfang would be pleased.
Organized
An organized chart.
Seventy-Five
Wonder what that other number could be.
Toothpaste Tube
I hate finding tubes in my toothpaste.
Your Shapes
Those awful shapes.
Snap Story
Does the recycling bin have Kanchilheart's face on it?
This Picture
It was supposed to be Nighttail himself, and the lines represented his mind going in all different directions. Not sure why he didn't give himself hair.
That Shirt
Nice.
Arts And Crafts, Part Two
The paint was really gross. It was decent paint, but I was in charge of cleaning the flasks.
Grump City
What an apt name.
Hair Taste
I wonder why.
Index Card
Honestly, same.
Debunk
I don't know what the myth was.
Moonwalk
She then left practice. Multiple people asked me whether she had known it was actually "moonwalk."
Blaming
Jasperstripe and Nighttail could easily be a comedic duo. Like, it doesn't come through in the comics, but they could. Although Nighttail definitely genuinely hates Jasperstripe. Not sure about the other way around.
Bud
Chill.
Competitive
This is a perfect word.
Ice Bath
I spent way too much time coloring that in.
Out The Other
…Oh.
Quatrain
I would probably much prefer this to learning about poetry.
Punny
It could be worse.
Not Mad
We missed a question about soul music.
Never Good
It was something like how her mom was being stubborn about a family trip.
Silver Spoon
She didn't realize.
Offer To Talk
For once.
Respect
…Hence soulless.
September Twenty-First
Needless to say, this happened quite a while back.
Same Font
Crisis averted.
Water And A Phone
Uh oh.
Thinner
I guess that's still accurate.
The Road
"Happily" is relative, but I agree.
Sixth Period
That's me?
String Cheese
Sounds…appetizing. 2700 comics, which is also eighteen 150s, which is a lot…!
COMICS 2701-2800
Andrews
Well, hey, maybe he'll be president someday.
Cat Food
Same thing.
Caret
It's settled.
Crushing Dreams
It was…a fruit snack wrapper, I think?
Never Doubt
How inspiring.
Not Welcome
Well, I can tell when I'm not wanted…
Bubbling
You could almost say it was aggressively carbonated. If it had been carbonation that was making the bubbles.
Dirty Mirror
Just filthy.
Hospital
That doesn't sound good.
Bust Every One
He was on problem thirty, but they started right around there, not at problem one.
On The Moon
Little g is gravity.
Pool Time
Not sure how politically feasible that is, but okay.
Quotes And Inferences
We were supposed to make single-slide presentations. His group's ended up three slides long. A different time, the Victorious theme song was part of his presentation.
Pregnant
I doubt that's the problem with this scenario.
Regularly
I would say "me," but I actually do it the afternoon it's due, after stats is over but before school ends.
Selfie Stick
Nighttail sounded genuinely thrilled to get to tell this story.
Post-Apocalyptic
Okay, so in The Road, "the fire" is symbolic, basically for hope/life. But still.
Tabatha
I guess that is how things work.
Table Two
…She continues to yell, at odds with what the rest of her table keeps insisting.
Turn Back Time
This lost all rhythm in the conversion to warrior names.
Writing One Paragraph
Soon we'll be back to writing five.
Walk Down
So I'm not sure if I mentioned this at all when it happened, but last November I broke my toe and got an elevator pass.
Will Not Listen
It would be ridiculous to expect him to listen to that.
Volunteer Scribe
This teacher talks so much. Nighttail can't stand Zorilstripe, but I think he's entertaining.
Wet Bread Bowl
The sass-off always brightens my day.
Baby Yaga
It was originally a typo.
Confuse
She was talking about court cases.
Duded Up
Sometimes I wish I hadn't established that every comic has a commentary. The teacher’s face is strange because I accidentally positioned it in the hole in the notebook paper.
Being A Thief
This is the kind of joke I tell, to be fair.
Hairy Old People
I don't remember the context. I think it's better without.
Great Britain
All right, I'll give him that one.
Hack Into
Driftspots is too smart. I don’t think he actually hacked in, but I don’t doubt he has the ability.
Actually Hates
Smiling is Stonefrost's equivalent of bursting into laughter. (One could also say "hooting.")
Fourth Place Milkshakes
I don't remember, but knowing us, we probably did get fourth place milkshakes.
Elf Door
I mean, it's not really a door, but it sure looks like one.
KFC Breakfast
I can't argue with that.
Official
There are now several fish in the tank.
Internet Polls
That's not really a poll, but even besides that.
Let's Count
Interactive. (By the way, I made up the actual numbers, but “six” means there are six different numbers represented in the set.)
Not Working
Sounds like he would have been happy either way.
Prime Numbered Sets
I'm so impressed.
Piece Of Paper
I could probably manage that.
Midlife Crisis
Obviously this happened years ago, but back on wcf I was too worried about sticking to the rules to imply my age too strongly. I know I bent the rules a lot, but saying that I was thirteen would have been undeniably breaking.
Ruining Memes
I did not expect to see this person memeing, but apparently he memes a lot.
Secret Past In A Dance Class
Uh huh. That’s what they all say.
Teletubbies
The conversation wasn't exactly heated, but it was far too heated for a conversation about the Teletubbies.
This Weekend
Not quite sure how to take that.
Talked About This
There's a person in one of this teacher's classes whose name Nighttail read on the index cards. It's a (relatively…?) rare name. He became obsessed with her; the teacher insists that she (the other person, not the teacher) is creeped out by the whole ordeal, but apparently she's started following Nighttail on social media and thinks the situation is hilarious.
States As Names
He meant to say New York, but New Nork is even better.
Way To Complain
He did.
Angust
Emberheart pronounced "angst" that way once.
Don't Want To
This was back during the Pokémon Go days. I still play, but she doesn't.
Clone
"He's technically my clone." - Stonefrost
Blockbuster
I can already feel the horror.
Drastic Statistic
She has also used it since.
Evil Twin
100%. If he has a twin somewhere, that is.
Forever Indebted
I really don't think Surge is as rare as Thunderpelt claimed it was.
Glycolysis
See, you can learn things from these comics.
In A Fight
He had nicked himself while shaving.
Knock Us All Down
Maybe I should have taken her up on that while I still had the chance. (Not because I want to hit her, just because she’d pay me.)
Lost Permission Slip
I'm not saying anything.
Not Giving Birth
My hands are currently blue and purple from tie-dyeing shirts. I made a blue/green/peach one for myself and a purple one (thanks, Slick) for Adderbite.
Monkeys
He immediately told us to forget he had ever asked that.
Not Least
He did, but that's okay.
Nucleus Absorption
Not sure you can decline your own offer.
Magnetic Words
A few more poems…
tercet:
No ghostly devil shalt woo
My sharp tomato bird who
Is almost never drowning too
cinquain:
Wherefore speak his dream as woe
His visible curse she doth bestow
With perfect murmur he loath grow
Investigate thou by winter go
Envy perilous garden though
quatrain:
Thence no holy work night light
Lazy dictionary would desire not
Full player shalt bloom between fight
Farewell to whatsoever silent thought
free verse?:
Forswear breathing
A business decision
Each vast dark spider catching light
As time dost make more steam
song:
Compel vulgar elaborate trifle light
Translucent howl must see seemly
Transgress lime is some monster fight
Understand not jester poisonly
Opposite Dream
Spiderfang had asked me to draw a picture of a pig chasing her and Mousefern around. The pig was supposed to have the face of a guy in the orchestra. Spiderfang was supposed to be enjoying herself while Mousefern was scared.
Out Of My Hoodie
Look. These two are obnoxious and I did not enjoy hanging out with them. However, they have some great moments, if you just sit back and watch instead of trying to engage in conversation with them.
Potato Soup
That's a lot of potato soup.
Pessimist
I was (mostly) joking. There are worse things than being a robot nerd. And…I also can't argue.
Teletubbies, Part Two
I feel like Capewhisker and Junebugtail agreed, but Adderbite thought that was disgusting.
Trophy
One time I was moving my medals, and jam spreader commented on my Bob Marley impression. She meant Jacob Marley.
That Triangle
I didn't need anyone to walk me to class, but it was an excuse for Tealwhisker to leave class early.
Store The Flame
It would be like Hermione's book one blue fire jar.
Time Travel Thumb
…He either came up with this on the spot or had given it prior thought. I'm not sure which interpretation I prefer. Probably the latter?
December
It is a good description.
Desecrating
We weren't at our own school. The teachers' lounge at the school we were at is called the (School Name) Pit.
Collective Noun
To be fair, if you don't know the actual term, then this is a reasonable guess.
Commie
It was actually a "comet." I don't remember how he made it.
Backflip On Ice
…Not the same person.
Fell Down
Yeah, probably.
Ballerina
She was talking to Cinnamontuft, who is a really good dancer but not a big fan of dancing.
Librarian
"Bother--" and Jasperstripe is in.
Forty Packs
Water bottles are Satan because of some particular chemical in the plastic.
Fired
I guess this was the meme she ruined.
Loch Ness Monster
I'm not sure what he was actually talking about.
Paradox
Mini Thunderpelt is a lot more tolerable than real Thunderpelt.
Off A Ladder
I always eat apples on ladders.
No Flaws
Driftspots had two laptops in his backpack.
Not Wednesday
It was Saturday.
Pen Tattoo
The white cat on the left is a specific person but without a cat name. I've done that in previous comics, too; I just wanted to be clear here.
Pen Tattoo, Part Two
…I did not see this "tattoo," so I have no idea.
Shave Her Head
It was a bet. Not that the teacher had any intention of shaving her head even if she lost. I don't know whether she lost or not, though.
Mystery Ball
Sorry for the small text, but Nighttail talks a lot.
Stratosphere
I would love to come up with a clever pun, but it's 11:47 P.M. on a Friday, and I am both exhausted and sick.
Test Scores
Penguinmist: …"Can we trade?"
Ten Percent
This was the weird thing I said to Tealwhisker today.
Top Teeth
They both took an extremely rigorous anatomy class together last year. It's the most…intense? class the school offers. "Front ones."
To California
Remember, we live in Kentucky.
Teletubbies, Part Three
2800 comics! I can't believe this.
COMICS 2801-2900
Few Words
How?
Cheese Curls
I understand the feeling.
Dates
As you can see, I am rapidly burning through the backlog. As of now it's down to 125; it was over 600 a few months ago.
History With Hot Chocolate
Once she spilled hot chocolate in a bag with her 3DS.
George Foreman Grill
I guess he has a point…? I don't know if it's a good point, but it's a point.
Maracas
I feel like his spots weren't symmetrical? I can't find a good reference for his right side.
All These Cities
City city (copyright Nighttail 2016).
Gamble
For the record, that was not gambling. On a slightly related note, last summer I had so many people ask me if I counted cards when we played. We also did not gamble, and no, I don't know how to count cards.
Court Cases
I was about to say that I was proud that I've maintained an A all year, but I checked my grades just now to make sure I wasn't lying…and for the fourth quarter so far I have a B-. We have almost no grades in for fourth quarter yet, though, and she's putting in test corrections on Monday, so it'll go back up soon enough.
Google Search
For several months, whenever anyone in that class needed help, they would pretty much call me over, then change their minds and call Driftspots over. They've now stopped asking me at all. I'm perfectly willing to help; they just trust Driftspots more.
Nicomachean Ethics
Once, instead of saying something creepy to Tealwhisker, I handed her a piece of paper that was folded into sixteenths and had three hearts drawn on it. She unfolded it to find a single word: Nickelback.
Not Secure
If "they" are computers, then I can't argue.
No Holes
His group was going to use a greenscreen to be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for a project about turtles.
Not Many Bones
…All right.
Stripies
I think it was the sketch for the comic Actually Hates.
Salmon-Eating
Well, then, we're all on the same page.
Rubies
That sounds painful.
Mystery Ball, Part Two
He wound up putting the M&M next to the index card with the name of the person he was obsessed with.
Some Cheese
Some cheese would be a lot better than a test.
Out Of The Table
As a bonus, that's not even a Sham-Wow. It's a napkin. I mean, do you KNOW the color of a Sham-Wow?
Tuck And Roll
Why not?
Use Your Knowledge
Bio is a great class. At times.
Writhing
This was his TMNT greenscreen shirt.
Vision For America
So Adderbite, Breccianose, a girl who doesn’t have a cat name, and I did a video project on The Merchant of Venice (we called it The Babe of Belmont); the plot was essentially that Bassanio (Breccianose), Shylock, and Nerissa (me) all flirted with Portia (Adderbite) at a party before the events of the real story. I bought the money glasses for the girl who played Shylock (she ended up being too small to wear the costume jam spreader got for her, but she also took off the money glasses partway through the video--which on reflection is probably a big part of why our video only won second place). I then let Adderbite use the money glasses as her gift in a white elephant exchange with the academic team. The gift I opened (from Spiderfang) was a minion, but I stuck Copperpelt with that in exchange for Nerf blowdarts (which Adderbite then used, so she traded me the little model car building set she got, since she'd had her mouth all over the darts). I told Spiderfang that she would love Adderbite's gift, so she chose it and actually got to keep it. The gift I gave was finger puppets, which Aniplume was happy to get.
Sulfuric Acid
To be fair, Driftspots is probably immune to acid damage anyway.
Brother
It turns out Candlekid (Sootscorch) was hissing because he thought she was talking about Curlcloud's younger brother. She was actually asking about Curlcloud's older brother--Slick.
Ears
Why not?
Smell The Dirt
She said this to Penguinmist. It was a lab about soils.
Comforted
Analyze the relationship, huh?
Artichoke
The person who bought people artichokes was Cinnamontuft's sister, who is the closest thing I've ever met to a real-life Mary Sue, and yet she's real and not even annoying so you can't even hate her. I mean, I'm sure it's possible, but…
Four Minutes Ago
Did you know that I can catch a knife with any part of my body?
Good At
That is true.
Instead Of Multiple Choice
Well, obviously.
Hamilton
I mean, he did say "a ham."
Jitterbug
…Did I mishear this? I don't think so, but it doesn't make any sense.
Khaki Pants
I'm not sure what it was that he got.
Maracas, Part Two
It was a mix of painful and hilarious to listen to their (Pebblefall, Buzzardsplash, someone I don't know) argument about maracas. The person I don't know actually got it right but then second-guessed themselves; they eventually settled on Pebblefall's guess (the above), although that person was still a little bit unsure (and actually said, "Isn't that a country?" which, for the record, is accurate).
Owls
She was trying to figure out what the things on her socks were.
Last Tournament
One of my biggest regrets in life is that I didn't play broomball the one time I had a chance. It's like hockey but with rubber shoes instead of skates, a ball instead of a puck, and brooms instead of sticks. I am about the least athletic person in the world, so I would have been terrible, but it looked fun.
No Cup
He was perfectly willing to dump out the highlighters and fill it with water anyway, but she stopped him.
Middle Initial
Well, their middle initials are X and Q, so all right, I'll give them that.
Plays The Violin
But which one is it?
Sixth Grade
In case the title isn't a good enough explanation, this happened in sixth grade. Maybe on the first day, maybe the second?
Recognize
Everyone is a stretch, but okay.
Stay Sad
This was during a discussion of a book, but I can't remember which book.
Stressed Syllables
I can relate to those syllables.
Vessels
ElasticBob?
Toast It
I guess it is kind of weird, but it's probably less weird than not calling it toast.
Your Name
I don't know why they did that.
Universal Idea
Not pictured: a few weeks prior, Jaggedtuft unplugged Adderbite's laptop to charge his own…without asking. She mimed hitting him over the head with it to Lynxtuft; he didn't notice. Also, we are now at nineteen 150s; that's a lot!
Chilled
Meaning he will chill out. (He didn't.)
AP Bio
That sounds like a better class, really.
Definition Of Doors
I don't know what could possibly depend on that.
Green Bananas
When they're flecked with brown and have a golden hue, bananas taste the best and are the best for you! You can put them in a salad… (Me?) No, not yet, my dear! That greenish way you're looking means that you are right for cooking! (How 'bout me?) No, no! When you are fully ripe, my dear, those little flecks of brown appear… (Me?) You're most digestible, my friend--delicious, too, from end to end!
Lids Down
He's going to…kill her lid…?
How Many High Schoolers
I know Jaggedtuft's return was awaited eagerly by some of you…
Berlin
He was talking about a very strange map of Germany that included a mouse playing a banjo.
February March
Is Monday Friday?
Consonance
Same.
Ears, Part Two
Evidence begins to accumulate that Driftspots is the new and improved model of robot…
Model Boy
That's news to me.
Nilla Wafers
This makes me think of the licking spoons IDKTP. It also makes me think of my Sad Keebler lunches.
Operation
I'm not sure what was wrong with it.
Pop-Tart Crust
Adderbite used to yell at Jaggedtuft for peeling his Pop-Tarts.
My Valentine
Cobaltwhisker does not have the easiest time around Valentine's Day.
Rhode Island
He insisted on tracing a map of the entire U.S. instead of just the original colonies-turned-states.
Life Together
I'm not even trying.
Slick Surface
The matchbox is almost exactly the same color as the teacher…? I didn't mean for that to happen.
Say What Say What
Stats is an awful class.
Ronald Reagan
What a guy.
The Clash
One time I wore a The Clash shirt (it was decades day), and the physics teacher got out records and a turntable from the physics storeroom (???) and had us listen to The Clash and The Ramones.
Unevolve
Later he asked if I was okay, and I told him I was fine except for the damage done to my soul by the doughnut holes. He and Ladybugtail found it hilarious.
Some Water
J'aime eau!
Stapled
This was the same map of Germany. There was a picture of grapes, but whoever stapled it to the wall put about ten staples over the grapes.
Who Your True Friends Are
"The forums are gonna flip out about that one." Go ahead; make Adderbite's day.
Bite-Sized
I do not know what the context of this was. I feel like I understand it, but then again…what?
Boulder
Well, all right.
Chocolate Chips
In her defense, someone had brought weird flavored Pringles, so the idea of strange chip flavors was logical. That said…
Concentrated Chlorine
Not sure that's a good idea, even for a fish.
Best Feature
I'm willing to agree with that.
Creepily
She was late to class, but a janitor unlocked the door and let us in. We shut the door and all sat in our correct seats with the lights off, talking quietly.
Cry Me A River
Me…
Candlekid
I'm glad someone appreciates the thoughtful nickname Adderbite and I came up with. (Candlekid has shown up selling candles for fundraisers multiple times while Adderbite was at my house.)
Dora The Explorer
I don't think there was even a reason for her to be saying this at the time.
Fifth Thousandth
That's a pretty drastic statistic.
I Don't Know These People #141
The artist of Lima Bean returns! How thought-provoking.
I Don't Know These People #142
Wow, really?
I Don't Know These People #143
Better than moments, zero.
I Don't Know These People #144
Maybe…to the other side of the room.
I Don't Know These People #145
Looked fun.
Making Noises
Well, thanks for the warning.
Master Chef
This had something to do with a lab using pennies. I was the one who had to clean the pennies beforehand. The chemical smelled really bad, and I'm glad I checked the label, because apparently it would have destroyed my hands. (To be fair, I would have gotten gloves before anything that smelled like that, but still.)
Ratio
MOUSEFERN $$$$$
Ronald Reagan, Part Two
Evidence of Robot Driftspots continues to pile up…I’m not sure if I’ve told this story yet, but I’m telling it now anyway. One time we were at Hotel Pillow’s house for the new year; he had this gigantic jar of jelly beans, and he told me I could eat as many as I wanted. Now, some of the beans were licorice, which I hate. Other beans were blackberry, which I love. Hotel Pillow told me they were impossible to tell apart. They were not--the licorice beans were a solid black, while the blackberry beans were glossy and almost cloudy-looking! So basically what I’m getting at is I ate virtually all of his blackberry beans and only one of his gross licorice beans.
Saved Your Life
Physics is a disaster. Mostly in a good way, but I suddenly don't know any of the equations, so there's that.
Not Here
He didn't actually leave, although he has done that before.
Schadenfreude
Schadenfreude means getting enjoyment from others' suffering. The word comes from German, so the a in "schaden" sounds like a short "o," and the "freude" part is like "froid-eh."
Three Beyoncé Children
No one joined in.
Stevie Wonder
I don't remember the full story. It had something to do with Cobaltwhisker either singing or making a playlist, and every song was Stevie Wonder.
Some Of Those
Distracting Pretzels (Sandclaw) and Slick would also have some of those pretzels if they were there. 2900 comics!
COMICS 2901-3000
I Don't Know These People #146
This is all I heard of this story. I wish I had heard more.
I Don't Know These People #147
And never thought to, you know, measure your height…?
I Don't Know These People #148
Personally, I'd be more worried about the soap.
I Don't Know These People #149
I'm a tea guy.
I Don't Know These People #150
Look, a whole 150 of these things! That's so many 150s!
Fake Friend
Nighttail took the valentine back, changed the name on it, and gave it to Leafstream.
Delicately
It's something Driftspots would do.
Fatten
At least it's convenient.
Calc-You-Later
I made a program on Tealwhisker's calculator called "RUACALC" and if you use it, all it does is display "ARE YOU A CALCULATOR? BECAUSE I'LL CALC-YOU-LATER"
Forgot Fork
I will never stop.
Kocoum
She sounded like grump city (copyright Nighttail 2016). Sorry Nighttail’s singing looks like a captcha; I wanted to try making it wobbly to represent that he was singing instead of speaking, but…like I said, it just looks like a captcha.
Characterlike
We were reading The Importance of Being Earnest.
Cabinet Head
The greatest mystery of our time.
Bowl Cuts
Adderbite and I have now introduced Lynxtuft and Cinnamontuft to Kpop.
More Vocal
I mean, the question part is pretty important.
Only Food Source
He had several Cheezits.
Toledo Watch
Wouldn't that be a Toledo warning?
Ten Mints
Aniplume?
Was A Zombie
Cobaltwhisker is a zombie, though.
Tomato Watch
The teacher refused for a while to take us down to the hallway where we're supposed to sit for tornadoes. Don't worry; we live in a hilly place, so there isn't much danger.
What Is N
"SIN" stands for simple random sample, independent, and Normal.
Only Food Source, Part Two
When Nighttail came back, he did give Cobaltwhisker a Cheezit.
Read This Book
Lynxtuft, upon reading this comic: Did he really say that!?
Skin Flag
Spiderfang interviewed a few of her friends. They were all pretty entertaining, but this was the only interview worth drawing.
Wants Pants
He was still wearing pants. Not sure why he had extra shorts, but he's in theatre stuff all the time, so I would guess it was for something in theatre.
Break The Clock
Bad idea.
Drag Him
Muscles then proceeded to drag him. I think this time she was dragging Yoongi from BTS.
Fear Me
Wow, terrifying.
Being Annoying
I'm not sure how Shellpelt became their mom.
Full-Grown
I think this was also in reference to Kpop.
Floor Six Hundred Sixty-Six
We were trying to find room 666--it didn't exist. Checking the fourth floor, we found that it didn't have a room 466 either--however, since it had a 665 and a 667 as well as a 465 and a 467, I think they purposely skipped the room -66 on every floor. We also tried to find room 420; it didn't exist either, but I think that was a coincidence. There was, of course, no floor 13.
Get Wheel
Puns are terrible. No exceptions.
Gonna Happen
It did indeed happen.
Cottage
So the boulder and the cottage are both out, I guess.
Any Green
The green thing is a jacket.
Not A Mouse
In this comic he does, but he's still not a mouse. He was telling Junebugtail that she would have to speak louder.
Scan
With our…cyborg minds?
Required
I would have included me saying what it actually said, but I don't remember what the word was that I read as "required;" it was the name of a…company, or something, in an online ad. "Clam" was actually "claim."
Not Guilty
That's, uh, more than a little steep.
No Candy Bar
It was not St. Patrick's Day. It was March, though.
Robot Blood
He does look like a vampire.
Shoe Untied
He left the room when she asked whether he meant he had already tied them or already tripped.
Skype Test
We were testing out using Skype on the projector. Lilypetal went to another room. I think hydrobromic acid is pretty cool (perchloric has a nice name too), but I have come to respect nitric acid. One time when I was unpacking the newly delivered chemistry bottles, one of them was nitric acid. Most of the bottles say things like "Warning: Corrosive to tissues. Avoid contact with skin or eyes." and are just, you know, bottles. Not nitric acid. Warning: Extremely corrosive. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. It can explode. Also, the bottle has to be stored in a big prism of Styrofoam. That is tighter security than the hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid I unpacked on the same day.
Stirring Coffee
I think Leafstream brought in fancy coffee and fancy mugs for her whole table.
That Annoying
Cresswhisker is pretty short. Unfortunately so am I. She's talking about middle schoolers, though.
Watershake
…No, for one major reason. Though I guess an orangejuiceshake might be, like, an orange smoothie?
Two Puppies
Wow, I guess he wins.
Two Coats
Lynxtuft's coat was on her lap.
Where Is Everyone
We are raised to live and then to die…
Weak Shoulders
He kicked Leafstream's arm, and she dropped her phone.
I Don't Know These People #151
Better than expensive friends.
I Don't Know These People #152
This happened in the school elevator.
I Don't Know These People #153
They were looking at a little book of famous people, and they agreed that Holst looked familiar, but since they didn't know who he was, they were pretty sure he looked like someone else.
I Don't Know These People #154
Well, that's good.
I Don't Know These People #155
This was at a pool.
Booboo
I want to know just how long Cobaltwhisker has been that guy.
Avocados
Someone probably has written something called that.
Cared More
Wildthorn has not changed since I met him in fourth grade. He is somehow up for "Most Changed" for the yearbook. Of course I voted for him. If any of the others had deserved to win I would have voted for them, but they don't. Update: Wildthorn didn’t win. I forget who did.
Car Salesman Dealer
She's talking about Call Me Baby by EXO.
Bottled Water
It looked like nice bottled water.
More Fun Than
I was quizzing her on some idioms.
Descartes
Wow, that's a really original joke.
Goes To Sleep
Can I just say…if you're still reading these, thank you for sticking around for so long. Even if you haven't been, like, a long-time reader, you've stayed for almost 3000 comics now.
Hate Physics
I know I want to do something science-y, but chemistry has scary chemicals, and biology has dead things. Math is boring, but I'm pretty good at it, and there are some cool things once you get to a big enough or small enough scale in physics.
Catheters
Wow, how edgy. Last year Adderbite saw dead bodies all the time for a class she was taking. That class is not happening this year, as far as I know.
More Fun Than, Part Two
I prefer both "pudding" and "basket of biscuits" to "barrel of monkeys."
Rigid Bodies
Physics…
Point Eight
Zorilstripe knows that .8 is big in stats, but that's beside the point.
Muscular Babies
I bet Muscles was a muscular baby, but people still liked her.
Single Word
She meant s. It took her way too long to realize she had just said a word starting with s.
When I Was Born
That would make him very old.
Phytoplanktons
Adderbite was talking about how some phytoplankton look.
Pieces Of Dust
In the second panel, he's talking about her sandwich thing. She had two of them.
Piece Of Cake
Besides the staple.
Work Ethic
If I had a work ethic there would not be 2975 comics. There would be, I don't know, 200 at most.
Big-Headed
She was talking about faces on money.
Free Books
He was trying to convince Cobalwhisker to shave his head, I think. It was a little unclear. For bonus points, not only is it a library, but Cobaltwhisker works there.
Duct Tape Problem
But then he wouldn't be able to leave.
Broke Him
This is her new thing.
Any More Ice Cream
I mean, what did he expect was going to happen?
Gray Side
Adderbite was talking about their cat.
Everyone's Easter
Nighttail loved his gavel.
Harambe
I don't want to know why Harambe would be at the aquarium.
More Fun Than, Part Three
I also like this one more than the real one. But of course I would.
Hot Stuff
NO, IT IS LAVA!
Parliamentarian
She let him go to the water fountain.
PPCCI
PPCCI is a stats thing, and you say "puh-picky."
Motherly
She was talking about Muscles' mom. Muscles' dad is an immortal vampire.
Ps And Qs
The reason the title says Q instead of B is that the variables in the equation were p and q, not p and b.
Run Into Walls
I thought we had moved on.
Said It
Breccianose finally becomes part of the regular comic! She was the one who said she would stab Jayflight with an exclamation point three years ago.
Snowing Inside
I wonder whose fault that is.
Sunkist
I don't know what they were actually talking about.
Talked To Her
Nope, no one has ever talked to Airclaw. The teacher meant that morning, since Airclaw was absent.
The Greeters
This happened just over five years ago. The three cats in the last panel are the people the greeters (Maplepelt, Marblenose, and Iolitegaze) were supposed to be waiting for.
Upside Down Glasses
It's bad enough that they can stay on his forehead. They don't need to be upside down.
The Internet
That's exactly the same thing.
The Internet, Part Two
Sure he did.
Warts
Why would he look up pictures of warts!?
Wear Their Skin
Well, we all know that Adderbite and I wear Stonefrost's skin. Also, this is 3000 comics, which is the equivalent of twenty 150s! That's so many 150s!
I just hung out with Adderbite (and Moraystripe was with his friends)
