page 1170 – not the response I’m used to
Catty Avi is probably my least favorite Avi. I find him strangely endearing when he’s genuinely oblivious to how awful he is, but openly jealous and blatantly hostile Avi is just plain insufferable.
Okay, so obviously the big deal news-wise is making sure any late arrivals know there was an April Fools page that went up later last week. I’m tempted to make a self-deprecating remark about how this “extra page” still added up to fewer updates than I used to do on a weekly basis, but screw that mess. This April Fools page had twice as much art in it than a regular Far Out There page, so I feel fully justified in feeling under the gun all week trying to get both that and THIS page done on time. Unfortunately, all that extra work DOES mean that I still don’t have a new TWC Voting Incentive to go up with this page. We’re ALMOST there, though! The new sup-page for Incentives & Patreon stuff is finally set up enough for me to put a real, live, permanent link up top. That’s how you know things are getting serious. Baring any unforeseen disasters, I SHOULD have a full comic/incentive update for everybody this time next week. At long last, Young Tabitha will FINALLY make it out of that transport thing!
Actually, this page just cements to me that Marshall is effortlessly everything Avi is trying to be. A pretty girl wants to introduce Marshall to someone else (probably Trigger), and Marshall just shrugs it off because he has other stuff he was asked to do first.
That’s a relief, the one thing I was kind of displeased with on this page was I was afraid it wasn’t clear she was talking about Trigger here. (He needed to cut her off for the gag to work, but the problem with cutting her off is that she doesn’t get to finish what she was saying, ya know?)
I think partly why we assume it’s Trigger is because we mostly understand Layla’s character by now.
Also she’s been trying to introduce him to every single boy she meets since she realised that he doesn’t actually have any other friends.
