January 15th, 2013 at 12:33 am
Watch your fantasies, Sandy! (Then again, she might need a few extra to get rid of some of the bitter.) Great timing, Zona!
January 15th, 2013 at 12:47 am
Umm… Yeah, that blonde Goddess Girlfriend… there… her…
January 15th, 2013 at 12:53 am
The bottom of the comics today is a bit off…
January 15th, 2013 at 12:55 am
No better way to cut her off mid stream. Methinks Sandy is about to undergo a sudden reassessment of the story Mentl told her.
January 15th, 2013 at 1:29 am
Zona’s starting friendly. Let’s hope Sandy doesn’t stick her foot in her mouth while she readjusts her assumptions.
Anyway, this should be good watching her flounder.
January 15th, 2013 at 1:41 am
Fantasy? THIS IS NO FANTASY!!! THIS! IS! ZONA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 15th, 2013 at 1:47 am
She has actually put on panties. Oh my.
January 15th, 2013 at 1:51 am
Someone call up Bill Engvall, there has got to be a ‘Here’s your sign.’ joke up in here, somewhere.
January 15th, 2013 at 1:52 am
wait she put on panties? I supposed she’d have to have, otherwise that robe would be one cm away from this being in the hot stuff section.
Stll could be with the right prodding.
January 15th, 2013 at 2:19 am
I love the cat.
January 15th, 2013 at 3:44 am
Haha! That robe is a bit too small for Zona, but it just about manages to cover her.
And she already made friends with the cat. Zona has a real way with cats don’t she?
January 15th, 2013 at 3:44 am
Sandra, meet my giant blonde goddess.. LOL Love it JED!
January 15th, 2013 at 4:35 am
I normally love your rendering, bot today, got a few niggles about the rendering on that robe (and the cat).
I’m sure you’ve seen them so I won’t elaborate.
January 15th, 2013 at 4:38 am
I’m probably the only one to notice this - what with a giant blond goddess in the panel - but if we thought Mentl had money based on the house, just look at the land out the back door! That’s a lot of back yard - especially for the area he lives in!
Now, let’s see how Sandy gets out of this!
January 15th, 2013 at 4:42 am
This could be Mount Olympus or Coldwater Canyon, or one of those cliff roads that go through Glendale. The property isn’t as big as it looks because most of that view is across the arroyo and belongs to someone else.
January 15th, 2013 at 4:49 am
Sandy, you two did have the conversation where he told you he doesn’t lie any more, didn’t you?
January 15th, 2013 at 5:07 am
SamuraiDemonPuppy: “Zona’s starting friendly. Let’s hope Sandy doesn’t stick her foot in her mouth while she readjusts her assumptions. ”
I think Sandy’s going to be too busy picking her lower jaw up off the floor to say anything stupid, at least for a minute or so. Once she recovers however, I can see her accusing Mentl of hiring a tall blonde hooker just to gobsmack her - and then regretting the accusation a moment later.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:19 am
Sandy, please welcome my “fantasy” Girlfriend (and UJATTO *w*)
January 15th, 2013 at 5:33 am
Gyahahaha! So, they finally meet! xD
On another note, my cat does that as well. :3
January 15th, 2013 at 5:33 am
“No Sandy, this time she visited me here.”
January 15th, 2013 at 5:48 am
Ai. Well. I suppose both a blessing and a shame that she took time to administer panties. By “blessing,” I do mean strictly for ,,,,uhm, a better political situation with her to-be sister-in-law.
Shame for us, though.

January 15th, 2013 at 5:51 am
Oh, yeah. Sheiss … I did mena to also say: “Tula phone call, in-coming in 3, 2, 1 …… ”
“Hey, sis, would you mind taking a short drive to pick up another friend of mine …?”
January 15th, 2013 at 6:11 am
JED, I’m with Semuel, Zona’s thighs and knees look sort of off. Not fitting with the rest of her perfection. Gotta concur with the one-track minds whose eyes were drawn to the panties as we know from Hot Stuff that Zona “lets her garden grow”. The rest of us one-track minds were of course looking higher … at the cat, right! The cat!
As to how this could go …Consider the last talk Zona had with her own mother about decorum and control, but allow for the fact that she has succeeded in her quest and gotten her itches nicely scratched and is kind of mellow.
January 15th, 2013 at 6:12 am
Oh, and THAT’S what I call a Happi-coat!
January 15th, 2013 at 6:34 am
…I like the subtle details with Mentl in the first two panels. We know Sandy’s shifting as she speaks and reacting to Zona’s approach, but a lot of artists would, well, “save time” *coughbelazycough* and not adjust Mentl’s position. But his head is tipped his shoulder is up and his arm tilting forward, as if he’s raising a finger to point at his sister, but it’s below the edge of the camera view.
Well done, thank you!
January 15th, 2013 at 8:10 am
I can hear it now: “So you’re the giant shikseh my brother has been talking about…” I still don;t see her buying the story about the other world. Sandy’s in for a BIG surprise!
January 15th, 2013 at 8:21 am
@mew3 when Zona came in the room, we all looked at the pussy on her sholders. Yeah right…… Here’s your sign.
January 15th, 2013 at 8:40 am
Actually, Alphas tend to be extremely aware of new superior Alphas. All of Sandy’s senses are screaming “RUN!”. Add up the clues: No perfume, just pheremones that say “Your brother rocks my world”, no makeup, no self-consciousness in a fairly drafty outfit, no dominant stance, none needed.
The closest approximation I can make that Sandy would acknowledge is the late actor Robert Mitchum: He projected such effortless sensuality and strength that men and women knew he had no need to be assertive about his alpha-ness. And the key point: he made even making it look easy, look easy.
January 15th, 2013 at 9:22 am
“oy.” -yep that just about sums her up!
January 15th, 2013 at 9:58 am
All i can say is; nice ! I guess someone will have alot of questions huh? Oh, and is it me or does her hands look a tad to small? They do not look like the hands of a warrior to me.
January 15th, 2013 at 10:41 am
I swear my first words I literally spoke out loud when Zona appeared like that were “Fuck Yeah!”
January 15th, 2013 at 10:47 am
Jesus her legs…one kick from those and your car would roll…twice! Lol LOVE the expression on her face! XP
January 15th, 2013 at 12:12 pm
I just have one thing to say.
KITTY!
January 15th, 2013 at 2:59 pm
Humminna! Humminna! Humminna! I wish! I wish! I WISH! Hamoric!
January 15th, 2013 at 3:02 pm
PS - It was the only thing I could squeeze out of my brain when I saw the last panel. I was functioning fine when i hit that last panel and then… BRAINLOCK!
January 15th, 2013 at 3:18 pm
We out near Illinois? Looks like quad cities….
January 15th, 2013 at 3:32 pm
just LOL (and the cat)
January 15th, 2013 at 3:44 pm
Oy ,.,,.,.,.,.,.,..,,.,.,.,.,, It do say it all !
January 15th, 2013 at 4:07 pm
“On another note, my cat does that as well. :3″
Mine too but she prefers to perch like a parrot.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:32 pm
In my younger days, back in 79′ I had the occasion to be walking out a friend’s bathroom. She had let me used the shower and I was wearing only a towel. I asked her to hand me my pants as I had left my clean ones outside the bathroom. She was at the door listening to a bf wannabe who’s epic line was “I mean, who else would want you?” At this time he was laughing at her “little attempt at making him jealous” by pretending she had had someone over. Me, in my prime, full head of hair, wearing nothing but a towel asking if she had seen my pants. Yeah, his face was kinda like Sandy’s as she shut the door.
As a matter of fact, she was a nice Jewish girl named Sandra, I was late for work that day, and smile whenever I think of it.
January 15th, 2013 at 6:13 pm
“oy” was ever so much spoken in such a little word?
January 15th, 2013 at 7:44 pm
Mentyl: I reject your reality and substitute my own!
January 15th, 2013 at 11:39 pm
If Mentl told Zona that his mother passed on? I’m guessing that Zona will show Sandra some heartfelt sympathy, and that will thaw Sandra’s ice. I think part of Sandra’s issue is that she’s grieving and by thinking that Mentl is not taking the death seriously, somehow feels misunderstood and alienated from her brother.
January 16th, 2013 at 1:23 am
Wait, Sandy said… “Or did you pop off to fantasy land again to visit your barbarian blond goddess girlfriend.” If he’s been telling Sandy about Erogenia, she must be quite tolerant or else Ment; would be committed by now.
January 16th, 2013 at 1:23 am
Mentl… dang fat fingers.
January 16th, 2013 at 5:07 am
If Mentl makes it clear in time this is his sister, Zona should be quite enthusiastic in welcoming her into her family, otherwise there probably will be a few more strips of comical misunderstandings, interspersed with cell calls and demon attacks!
January 16th, 2013 at 6:20 am
I’m thinking the answer’s a “yes”
January 16th, 2013 at 5:12 pm
that was perfect
January 16th, 2013 at 5:17 pm
kind of a bit short thought.
January 16th, 2013 at 5:59 pm
That would put her into a full on caniption fit. Demon attacks, Zona stops him cold and Mentl makes him disappear by singing. Reality goes crack, crack shatter.
January 17th, 2013 at 12:13 am
There were a couple of comments about the panties… They make a kind of sense, you can’t let the fun bits be exposed to the morning breeze and … you can’t have two pussies in the same scene… I’d guess.
January 17th, 2013 at 9:03 am
Wally, There can be only one.
January 17th, 2013 at 10:06 am
I’m fairly certain that “Oy” is the audio expression of lifelong attitudes being SCRAMED. Welcome to the new reality Sandy, enjoy…
January 17th, 2013 at 10:51 am
Now Zona just has to go to Muscle Beach and show up the snobby bitch that gave Mentl the “Oh God-360″ eye-roll. Maybe Mentl could ride on her shoulder
January 18th, 2013 at 12:40 am
I know why Mentl wasn’t thrown into a rubber room by his family.
If my sister were to come to me and tell me–with the kind of expressions and earnest tones that Mentl surely would’ve used–that she’d been swept off to some fantasy land…I’d not have her committed. Certainly not right away. I’d evaluate how she’s treating all the other areas of her life, first. If she “came bacK” with more maturity and so forth, then I’d definitely not have her committed. I might not believe her, but if she believed something so strongly enough that it makes her a better person…who am I to judge?
Because, to be quite honest, people who have had “deeply moving religious experiences” (I put this in quotes not to mock this sort of thing–because I have had a couple of those myself–but rather to show it is an equivalent stand-in for “traveled to exotic alternate realities”) aren’t necessarily insane. IN fact, they can be quite sane, stable, and productive members of society.
…To be absolutely fair, they can also turn out to be total whackos in need of a heavily padded room. But when you love a family member, you tend to be more lenient and more willing to wait-and-see, to give that family member a chance to show whether they’re lying through their teeth, they really have changed for the better, or they’ve changed for the worse and need serious help.
That, and it’s also not quite so easy to get someone thrown in a rubber room as it used to be. Particularly when they check out on all other accounts as quite sane and stable.
January 18th, 2013 at 12:43 am
(To be completely, completely honest, if my sister came to me, told me she’d been swept off to an alternate reality and picked up a totally hawt BF, and in all ways was acting stable, sane, and more mature than when she’d left…I’d be horridly envious. Extremely envious. {C’mon, I’M the fantasy writer, here! It should’ve been me, dammit!”}. But…I’d also be very happy for her, for the improved character and good fortune.)
January 18th, 2013 at 3:31 am
I want to drop to fantasyland and get back home with Rannick. *w*
January 18th, 2013 at 7:26 am
He he, Jean, I can’t say I don’t understand, because I’d be envious too.
CrownedClown, if you get Rannik, can you bring Tula and maybe Sheahla and the Fire tribe twins back for me? Not trying to be greedy, just want some choices.
January 18th, 2013 at 9:32 am
@Lora,
Feeling a little erythrophiliac are we? (even I had to look that one up all though my first guess at the root word was fairly close and i haven’t had Greek or Latin since the Ford administration.) I have often been accused of being a fire-eater myself, but usually it’s because of my love of Sriracha sauce.
http://tmi-comic.com/comic/hot-ice-cream/
Happy fire-eating!
@JED, how about an update before my erudition becomes even more degenerate?
January 18th, 2013 at 10:10 am
@ICWT-that is one of my other favorites in webcomics!
“I don’t know which disturbs me more-that they make habenero/jalepeno ice cream or that you asked for the usual.”
January 18th, 2013 at 1:36 pm
Hey, I already laid claim to the Twins! Carshik & Brantik are mine, thankyewverrymuch. *ahem* Or as close as one can get, since JED very kindly gave in to my pleading and whining and begging (and some of the others’, too) and made a lovely…very very lovely…mature-content picture of them.
January 18th, 2013 at 2:29 pm
got to love the neck warmer
January 18th, 2013 at 5:17 pm
Mish, yes TMI can be a lot of fun and the tangents can come out of nowhere, and one of these days Andy will make some kind of bloody archive index.
January 18th, 2013 at 7:48 pm
Panties, Mentl told Zona to get dressed, well covered up, so she did. She did, not because he ordered her to, because Mentl explained that she’s not in Erogenia and the customs are different. Zona is smart (folks seem to forget) and figured that body issues in Mentl’s world means “cover up”.
Bonding with the cat was a bonus.
-Z
January 18th, 2013 at 10:13 pm
Hey, they usually wear clothes even in Erogenia.
January 18th, 2013 at 10:18 pm
Doccer aced this comic with his comments from the previous one so my hat is off to him. I love this and I love it when a kitty lets me carry her like that.
Now let’s see the local alpha female meet the new Alpha Female of Mentl’s life….
January 19th, 2013 at 1:34 am
Guys,
I love ya like I don’t know what, but I am seiously sick, here. Major chest cold. I mean can’t concentrate worth shyte. So - just to let you know the update may not be until tomorrow. I have been working - one precious panel-render at a time - but it’s sllllllloooooowwww … because I have to pause to cough my frigging lungs out. Often.
Nevertheless, I am nearly done.
And hopefully, postwork won’t be too hard.
Late tonight, sometime tomorrow. that’s all I can guarantee.
Warmest regards,
JED
January 19th, 2013 at 5:55 am
I just had an ah-moment, and maybe someone else had it. Mentl has another show tomorrow he said so at the club.
So… is the unveiling in the day-afternoon? I imagine so.
January 19th, 2013 at 7:05 am
Hey, JED, we love the strip, but your health is much more important. Be sure that it is just a cold and take care of yourself. We can wait, albeit slightly impatiently, for a new strip.
January 19th, 2013 at 7:15 am
Jed with the flu season being so late and the strain so agressive you take care of yourself we can wait I’m sure I speak for us all when I wish you good health and get well soon.
January 19th, 2013 at 9:02 am
JED! F’rF’cuk’s Sake!! Don’t care if it takes a week or a month for an update. Completely irrelevant if you’re even half that sick. Focus on your health and don’t stress.
In other words: apology unacceptable!
Just drop a word on us once in a while to let us know you’re still alive, thank you. The unforgivable thing would be if you don’t finish this story someday, even if it takes ten years.
January 19th, 2013 at 9:50 am
Try some oregano oil capsules, they really add a lot to opening up the chest with vicks or some other kind of vapor rub.
January 19th, 2013 at 10:04 am
You! Chicken Soup Now! (It couldn’t hoyt). Sorry we’re on the wrong coast bro’ or I’d bring you soup with my wife’s special cajun matzoh balls.
January 19th, 2013 at 4:11 pm
Jed if u can here crackeling when u breath or trying to sleep, or if u cough up blood or brown or yellow spit, then see your doctor. If its blood then right now is best to see doc or ER.
lay on bed hang head and chest over side and put bowel below face. Cough like crazy and spit it out.
If u have a sore throat then gargle with salt water and wrap your neck in a scarf or use a nice bippy.
Also run hot water in sink and hang your head over it with a big towel covering your head and sink. Breathe deep and cough. Blow nose real good and keep blowing your sinuses alot because snot runs down the back of your throat and can get into your lungs when breathing. Keep it out.
Good luck Jed. Please feel better soon.
January 19th, 2013 at 6:05 pm
It certainly is true that your health is more important than this webcomic. Given earlier things you’ve noted about your “day job”, I’m prepared for the day when, on those weeks where you don’t have a bad cold, the strip updates once a week, on Sunday night.
Ultimately, that’s what it might come to, because after a full day’s work, you need to be able to relax, even if you might have fun spending a little time working on the comic.
January 19th, 2013 at 6:40 pm
Have to agree, my favorite recipe = a few shots of moonshine & get your ass in bed. Take care of yourself first bro.
January 20th, 2013 at 7:08 am
Aw, Jean, I thought you was gonna share.
Get well soon, Jed.
February 5th, 2013 at 3:09 am
Well, she is a fantasy girlfriend in that she comes from a setting that most of us would recognize as “fantasy”
