Renaissance Robot posted:Definitely 21, wink Rick is 20 in this flashback. So it's possible Mina is slightly older and is genuinely 21 but I definitely read that line as "yes, I'm totally 21, no need to ask questions or check my ID"

I guess Patchworm spent a while as an unconscious chrysalis?

Alternatively Mina's really hosed something up recently in story and Patchworm's giving her the silent treatment.

Maybe patchworm started as a worm, went to chrysallis (now silent), and only at the modern point in the story is starting to emerge (and thus no longer silent, but speaking slowly) butterfly patchworm will fully emerge at the story's climax

Butterfly Patchworm is just Eightfold emerging anew, IMO.

Caught up after about 2 years of not reading. I forgot how much better this comic feels when read like that instead of waiting for updates. I feel like Paranatural would be received better as a graphic novel rather than a webcomic. Come to think of it, why hasn't Zach gotten the first few chapters published in one phyiscal copy? I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

New page! Alt text: you know, one of those "you scratch my back, you also scratch your own back" arrangements Looks like the bubble over Mayview is pretty long-standing.

Imagine unironically wearing the business onesey. Imagine wearing it anywhere outside of your actual bed. I hope for Scab's sake this is some kind of projection because if not I feel bad for Mina's public perception.

The girl with the Vegeta hair? That's the same person here? That's weird, then. Her appearance here suggests she's around Mina's age, ish. Why was she (/will she be) sparring with Isabel, a 12 year old? Harsh taskmaster, Papa Guerra. edit: I read ahead a few pages from there, and they did indeed bring up that Scabs is twice Isabel's age. Never Mind!

I only just this month realized Scabs was taking advantage of Isabel’s fear of dogs instead of just using a really sick spectral form because it’s the most anime thing to do.

I don't know if Zach still reads here but I got some insecure content and other warnings hitting Paranatural.net today using Windows Firefox 64 bit (after not doing so for a couple weeks, so this might not be new):code:The stylesheet one looks like an invalid file name. The cookie one is probably an intermediary app trying to set a cookie value when the browser is only expecting it from the originating server, or the originating server is misconfigured. These will eventually be blocked: code:EDIT-Oh yeah the last image 30050 straight up doesn't exist, it 404s Scaramouche fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Jan 18, 2021 |

So I guess the 'big brother' Hijack said got vaporized on this page was Sockpuppy.

So Ventrilobite is the millipede sister who can control emotions. I wonder what exactly Hotwire can do if it wasn't the spirit that could control the train. I note the artificial spirits all share Sockpuppy's color palette. Wonder if that'll come up later on.

Sockpuppy is also a play on the term "sockpuppet" which is both literally true of him but also conveniently relevant to his abilities

SKULL.GIF posted:I note the artificial spirits all share Sockpuppy's color palette. Wonder if that'll come up later on. Interesting to note Ventrilobite is labeled as an "artificial spirit prototype" but Sockpuppy is labeled as a "anomalous spectral lifeform". Presumably there's something special about Sockpuppy that Mina somehow copied to create the offshoot spirits?
