Clear the schedule
Chapter 12 starts off with a peak into Cleo’s life.
There are still a couple bonus comics from the kickstarter left, but I figured it would be better to switch it up a bit instead of having half a year of bonus content in one go.
Enjoy chapter 12!
As always, if you like the comic, please consider donating on my patreon. Even one dollar goes a long way.

Good morning, Miss Shine,
it’s a brand new day;
and here’s your butler
to help you play.
He will plan out
what to do today
but he has to
do what you say.
Good morning Miss Shine
Kaya’s for a shock
as you go pick out
a birthday frock…
“Kaya’s /in/ for a shock”
Heh. I was going for the tune of ‘Good morning, sunshine’.
I was thinking of “Good Morning, Starshine”, from the Broadway musical, “Hair”.
🙂 ___ 😉
On a different note, the name “Alex”, is gender-neutral, so I’m wondering if we might have an “Alexa”, or perhaps an “Alexandria”, rather than an “Alexander”, here?
It would make more sense (to me) to allow a female butler in a young girl’s bedroom, & the Author has been very cagey about concealing their face.
So THAT’s the twins’ birthday! I’ll have to mark that on my calendar from now on.
Also, fresh croissants for breakfast? Alex knows where it’s at. That’s my winter-weather fave – and the only reason I don’t do it in the summer is because my house doesn’t keep cool easily enough to keep the oven on that long that early.
A good butler is totally invisible. All one should see are the better-than-good results of his presence. 🙂
Dangit. This was supposed to be a reply to Terran’s post, just below here. oopsy. 🙂
They have similar rules for chauffeurs. Always cross behind the car, not in front.
I saw the movie “Arthur” last night ( the original with Dudley Moore). His butler Hobson (Sir John Gielgud) was anything but invisible. Then again, Hobson was also Arthur’s best if not his only friend, until Arthur met Linda (Liza Minnelli).
The classic ‘don’t show the butler’s face.’
I don’t think Kaya will be so pleased if this birthday party ends up costing Cleo any more than Kaya would like Cleo to spend. Also, imagine the twins’ reactions if this ends up being one of those fancy birthday parties that rich people throw in a ballroom!
Honestly I expected him to be older, like at least a little gray hair. Guess he’s still early in his career as a butler.
Not everyone goes gray. Some go gray insanely early. My father started going bald when he was 17, and reached the Patrick Stewart hair cut by the time he was 25. His best friend in college had “finished going gray” before starting college at 18. I quote that because when I met him, he was clearly in the process of his hair going white, so it’s not like it was really done with its changes.
Then there are those who resist the gray with chemical assists. My grandmother insisted she simply wasn’t going gray until she came down with Lou Gehrig’s disease, at which point it became abundantly clear she was full of it. (Or, at least, her closet was strangely full of hair dye in her exact color and her hair became entirely gray very rapidly.)
That said, I’ve heard of some people employing a relatively young butler for their children, with the idea that if things work out well, they could serve just that one person for their entire career. I’ve no idea how common that is, I normally don’t rub elbows with people who can afford to hire butlers. Even the fact that the one such person I used to eat lunch with sometimes felt the need to clarify that detail doesn’t really say anything, because they understood the rest of the group wasn’t in their same financial situation.
For some reason I didn’t expect Cleo to be living in a modern villa
I don’t know why
I wonder what she’ll plan (Hopefully nothing too expensive for Kaya’s sake XD)
Going from a single food truck to an empire went pretty fast o.O
She’s already got the Death Meatball under construction.
How long was the passage of time between this chapter and chapter 11? In universe, I mean.
Is she sitting like that with her tail between her legs? That can’t be comfortable :/
It’s a specialty version of one of those mattresses where two people can each set their side for a different firmness. Cleo’s version has a narrowish path down the center that can be set extra soft for her tail to sink into. 🙂
*No; I just made that up on the spur-of-the-moment, to be…funny. It is -not- canon. 🙂
She’s lying on her side in panel 2; most likely her tail is curled around the outside of her legs.
If her tail is flexible enough where she can put it between her legs, then she may be able lie on it like how dogs do when they lie on their backs.
A case of snake with bed head? Yeah that’s a first, mostly because this snake is mostly human and has actual hair! So in the comic it’s the first of June, two weeks from the Twins’ birthday, and Cleo is making big plans for her besties. I wonder what she has in mind and how she’s gonna communicate this between Benji, Rex, Nate, Jin (& Katsumi), Drago, Viper, and the Romero-Blueford parents, plus any of their other friends. Maybe we get to see the Twins grandparents and a visit from any cousins they might have! The big question is, “What should Cleo get Kai and Kaya for their birthday?”
Given the chapter name, it was a little confusing at first; i thought it was June 15th, not June 1st.
I had that problem too first time reading the comic. Caught on soon enough though.
I’m pretty sure I already saw some nagas or lamias in bed. And regarding the bed hair, Cleo’s aren’t so bad.
Does Cleo count as a pseudo Naga or a Lamia? Or does having four limbs rule her out?
Cleo could rent an amusement park for the day and claim it’s just poorly attended that day for some reason. 😉
I don’t think even Kaya would fully buy that.
Ooh, birthday party!!! (I’ll have to remember the date!)
Can’t wait for this. Let’s see what happens.
Oooooh, this gonna be good! Cleo trying to throw a big surprise party for them is going to be epic!
Question: is that tea or coffee being served with Cleo’s breakfast?
Jesse’s Adventure: Why do I get the feeling someone talked to that guy’s grandmother and told her how good Troy is at certain games?
Why do I get the feeling the quest is going to take years?
HOLY COW I SHARE A BIRTHDAY WITH KAI AND KAYA! O.o
I already have this feeling the birthday will become an huge party . Where are the firworks ? ^_^”
Surprise, dragons … I don’t think you want to add fireworks to that.
Actually fireworks could be a part of it. A lot of fireworks stands open at least a near a couple of weeks before the 4th of July, if not sooner. Think it would depend on Hybrid City ordinances on when and where fireworks could be set off inside the city.

Four years later and that typo still hasn’t been fixed.
Panel 7: There should be a comma at the end of “friends”.
Jesse’s Adventure, panel 1: Ditto “game”.
Jesse’s Adventure, panel 2: And “Oh”.
Nope, panel 7 is correct the way it is.
And…
JA Panel 1: Possibly, but maybe not. He does have “Dance Club Revolution” in quotes.
JA Panel 2: Not necessarily. Could go with OR without depending on how Kai wants it to sound.
Jesse.
James!
Meowth, now that’s a name!
i didn’t really care for Pok-e-mon on tv, but I did like Meowth. 🙂
You might want to check with their parents, Cleo – make sure there isn’t a party planned, already.
Or if there IS, maybe you can coordinate. =3
That is a very good point, one I hope we see addressed in a future strip in this chapter.
Jesse’s Adventure:Well, I guess they’ll have av LOT of time to get to know each-other. 😆
Probably the real plan.. If this was Granny’sidea(Iforgetifshe had a name), I like her style. >=3
This page gives me Seto Kaiba vibes. Cleo’s not going to start trying to summon three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in one turn, is she?
“NOT SO FAST CLEO!! For I have the heart of the cards on my side…”
“Kaya, what are you doing…?”
“Nothing…” 😜🤣
Does Kaya also have the power of God and Anime on her side as well?
Sounds like Cleo is going to be giving the twins quite the party.
It could interesting to see her father pop in to see just what his little girl has been up to, and meet Marco in the process. Which would be a good excuse for the readers to finally meet Cleo’s dad.
Whooo boy, a whole week to plan a fifteenth birthday? Either Cleo really wants to go all out for the twins, or she just really likes big parties. Either way I wonder what the snake has planned, and whether the twins will go along with her ideas or worry about her spending too much on their behalf? Only time will tell. No matter what happens though, I’m excited to kick off the new chapter, and can’t wait to see what you have planned Robin. Keep up the good work, and as always, stay awesome!
Geminis are the best! 🙂
Four generations later in Hybrid City. 😉
Could use bat wings to tie it all together.
“Wait, they were born?!”
“Perhaps we should wait for the coffee to kick in, Miss Cleo.”
In panel 5, “nowhere I’d rather be”, in context, really sounds as if it’s meant to be “I’d rather be anywhere else”. What she says before that doesn’t sound as if she is looking forward to this helicopter ride.
She doesn’t; but, it’s really the time spent with “boring” customers she does not want. The only reason she’s going along with it is because she gets to spend more time with her dad.
She is being sarcastic.
Sarcasm would work, sure. The angle on her face is unfortunately not helpful for reading sarcasm here, so I didn’t pick that up. But it would work.
What’s the stream called I think I might join on Sunday before the bday
“DragonKai” There’s a link in the right-side panel near the top of this page.
The comic is not always the subject of streaming. 😉 But come visit us anyway! 🙂
Any less formal and he wouldn’t just not feel like a butler, but lose all the power and abilities granted by being one. All the sudden expertise and skills that makes them superhumans
