Face it-Robie never stood a chance. Anya is just that good. Well, she is a Children’s Librarian, after all.
I told you she was going to achieve the impossible-make Robespierre enjoy a bath.
Looks like Stephanie isn’t as happy with all this as one would expect, huh.
And all of a sudden Larry’s in a tearing hurry to get the game going. Or over with…
HEY! BIG NEWS! One of my all-time favorite comics, Doodling Around, is back! If you haven’t read it, run, don’t walk, to the link on your right, and have some fun!
Welcome back, fellow Underdog, Gual!
UPDATE: I’m sorry, but there’s no comic this week. See, it’s almost Hallow e’en, so that means Webcomic Underdogs Crossover time. I’ve been working on my contribution, and I’ve been blessed with an awesome comic for you, so, stay tuned! Groovy guest strip coming this weekend!
Panel 4 is quite possibly the only unflattering view we’ve ever had of Stephanie.
I’m not sure what she’s concerned about, though. Maybe that the cookies are being delayed by bathtime? Or that overflowing bathwater might deluge the game? Or simply that frolicsomeness might be beginning out of turn?
Welll… Robespierre is notoriously not fond of bathtime. She might be a tad jealous of her adopted sister.
And the cookies being late.
I mean, if you think about it, Anya should’ve given Robie his bath after he got all messy with the cookie dough.
I don’t suppose they might be… pudding cookies???
I wouldn’t put it past Anya. She knows the way to a hexapus’ heart. And Stephanie’s.
Anya’s skills with kids certainly translates well to dealing with hexapods, it seems.
I can’t tell if Larry is rushing the game along so he can be alone with Anya sooner, or if he just wants everyone out of his house. If it were me, I don’t think I’d take too kindly to everyone else entitling themselves to deciding without my say who I’m gonna “frolic” with, and he’s been pretty darn fed up with the remarks today. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what the man himself things of all this.
Well, originally it was Larry’s way of saying: “Let’s hurry up the game so Anya and I can play some other games.”
However, after discussing it with you and hippo, I made one big change (that you’ll see this week), and a few other ideas came up. You’re right about him being fed up with everyone else’s remarks.
So, he could be saying: “Let’s hurry this up so I can settle this with Anya.” Settle this could mean a lot of things.
We shall see what we shall see. Surprises in store!
I don’t think the others are deciding what Larry will do, they’re predicting what he’ll do, which can be even more annoying, especially if he hasn’t actually made up his mind. Or he could really be planning to frolic, but at the same time not wanting the gang to be proved correct in their predictions, which would take some of the joy out of the frolic, which would be reallyreallyreally annoying!
Excellent points, Pops.
Larry originally didn’t want to frolic with Anya. But now that she’s there, in all her Smexy Librarian glory, he’s definitely having second thoughts.
And anticipating Toivo’s teasing. He also knows that Eleanor’s had a hand in this.
And he’s wondering what Stephanie’s reaction will be. I’m sure they discussed this offstage, and she would’ve assured him that it was okay with her. But you know how nice Stephanie is. And how dense Larry can be.
We’ll just have to wait and see.
