   Knocking on heaven’s door, maybe?

   LOVELY! Funny, Zona’s comment. “What the point of a house this big unless you’ve got a warm body for ever room?” dunno where that came from but it sounds like something Mae west would say.

   Demon at the front door, good day turns bad.

   My very first thought on that last panel, once done reading the text: “Yes!! Boob saggage!!” …Because so many artists forget that boobs are flesh, and flesh is dependent upon gravity, and that when you twist to the side with anything other than itty-bitty AA-cups, (yes, even As will be affected!), they’ll SAG in the direction of gravity’s pull.

   Thank you, JED!

   When I read the page, my thought was indeed that it’s definitely going to be a demon at the front door, with a great risk of Michael being caught off-guard.

   Great page and a great start for the new year.
   Ya know thanks to ur comic I can hardly listen to a song anymore without thinking and wondering what this song would do if Mentl played it.

   Hey that final word from Zona “What–?” is that for the left panel or the right one or for both? What is she saying what to? To the what the sound of the bell means or the servant thing?

    No reason for the daemon to wait until daylight, not really a thug kind of thing to let your target get a good night’s sleep then approach under cover of … no cover. Letting the target schtup his brains out and maybe exhaust his magickal power reserves does work a little, at least he’d go out with a smile on his face…

    Can’t be Tula, she’s dialing as we speak and does not know Mentl’s physical address (and if her spells could do it, JED “wasted” a great deal of time last year).

    None of the band would be up any earlier on a Saturday morning, or want to disturb our lovers if they were (Although they could have gone through to Sunday morning: http://www.soulgeek.com/comics/zona/2007/08/03/page-141/ ). Nan would not be up either and does not know the address. Michael’s lawyer or accountant would not be making a house call and not on Saturday morning.

    Best guess, it will be Mentl’s sister Sandra, unless he’s got a really pushy great-aunt who wants to drag him and his shiksa to shul (I had 23 of them! Sometimes I even miss them.)

    Michael, Go to the door as is. The Witnesses will never bother you again: http://www.soulgeek.com/comics/zona/2007/08/07/page-142/ .

    I don’t think it is the bald and tattoed demon/thug ringing. It’s in broad and plain daylight, it hardly seems fitting for a demon to show up like this.

    Actually that´s a very good question from Zona.
    When I´m this filthy rich I´m getting a goddamn proper trained English Butler to take care of all the mundane stuff.

    Not act like I´m living in a very expensive Trailer park, you know like Ozzy.

    Great way to ‘ring’ in the new year.

    I’m with ICWT. Tula had to call and if she had already then the lovebirds would be up getting dressed. Thugs don’t ring the doorbell, they usually come through the window guns blazing. It might be Sandra, but knowing JED it’s going to be something else entirely. Also, this would be a good time to keep us hanging and changes scenes. Just sayin…

    Yeah, this scene was pretty much the equivalent of “What could go wrong?”

    Jean, I agree. It’s nice to see them move along with gravity. I like realism.

    Nice page, Jed. Are we going to be introduced to a new character? Unless the band gets up early saturday and don’t think about disturbing Zona and Mentl.

    Jed, I have to agree with Jean, nice NGM on the boobage. I’ll be delighted when someone comes out with a believable morph for flat-on-the-back poses. The ones I’ve seen so far just don’t look right.

    Hey ICWT, there’s an image: Michael and Zona at shul! …what could possibly go wrong there? (Mental image of Zona being asked to sit on the other side of the machitza.

23. Jean

    Docsmith626, the morph involved for flat-on-the-back is a 3 directional thing, with several mitigating factors.

    1. The boobs go off to either side, so it’s a horizontal movement perpendicular to the lay of the sternum/spine. 2. Gravity pulls them down toward the bed…around the curve of the ribs. 3. Depending upon the woman’s exact position and support methods on the bed (pillows, etc.), her chest can be level, tilted down toward the collarbone, or tilted down toward her hips…so the third axis is parallel to the sternum/spine. 4. If they’re “not natural” then they’ll be a bit perkier. If she’s lost weight, they’ll be a bit saggier. If they’re small, they’ll be perkier, but not completely so. 5. Finally, ANY position that is not absolutely flat-on-the-back is going to change the equation PER boob, because the ribcage is not a rectangle. It is an oval egg-shaped thing. So if she’s slightly twisted to one side, the higher boob will puddle like a pancake in just the right position (gravity spreading it out all around), while the lower one sags like a teardrop, et cetera, ad nauseam.

    Yeah, pain in the butt to render.

    Yeah. The dials on that morph package would look like mission control. Might be easier to stick to postwork.

    You know Zona doesn’t use any form of support for those Lovely Ultra Large beauties of hers and if you did that here pretty soon they would fall victim to gravities vicious grasp and hang around her waist. So we must assume that her and probably her people as well (cause Mama ain’t no piker either) have a density of body or extra strong muscles for the support of those things so they may not sag quite the same way similar boobs would on earth

    Thanks Wookie!

    I had not taken it that far. Not to mention convincing Z she needs to cover her hair with a scarf or one of those hideous hats the frum women torture themselves with (Please read silently from Misogynists 21:4-15). Think a giant sword would count as carrying something on the Sabbath? Would Nan have a floor length dress in that height and Kudos to Yanora’s personal seamstress for pulling that off at the ball back in Normos.

    On the other hand how many ultra-orthodox shuls are there in San Berdoo, unlike Northern NJ where I am.

    Jean, a wonderful contribution to one of my favorite study topics.

    JED, may whoever is at the door lay eyes on the nude couple and drop to their knees and cry “We’re not worthy!” while genuflecting madly.

    Could be he’s house-sitting, or acting as a caretaker, and it’s not really “his” house?
