Where has their guide gone?
It seems she’s wandered off;
leaving our intrepid duo
consulting a mystic Moth.
Looking old before her time
through peering in the glass?
Viper’s into it all
but Drago thinks it a farce.
What tales will she tell;
this girl that’s full of eyes?
Is fate one to adore
or merely to despise?
Wait, is this “Urvashi” wearing a thematic cloak, or are they the first time we’ve seen a hybrid with bonus limbs?
… my guess is on the cloak option, given the way that it’s draping over their shoulders in the last frame, but we can hope right?
Daniel here. Technically, a tail could be classified as an additional limb, but I get what you mean – extra limbs including wings, 2nd set of legs/arms, etc, but excluding tails…
I don’t think these are actual wings, they flop too limply in the last panel. I’m thinking it’s a cloak she flicked open as they walked in or used some mechanism to open them up, to add to the dramatic effect she’s going for…
I wasn’t counting tails, partly because they’re not usually used as limbs, and partly because humans can actually be born with tails, even without whatever it is that makes hybrids – admittedly, hybrids do have a monopoly on tails that are worth showing off, but humans do still have some access to potential tailage.
Why do I get the feeling that smoke is the moth’s scale dust?
The fortune teller looks like a moth hybrid. But from the the last panel I suspect the those might not be real wings and some kind of stage prop/cape instead.
And I am on Drago’s side, thinking that the fortune teller cannot really look into the future, but he should play along to entertain his girlfriend.
To be fair, a certain number of people who think fortune tellers are “fun” also don’t believe that fortune tellers can really see the future. They’re simply amused by the idea that the fortune tellers think they can fool some people. Something about the way she’s acting makes me think she’s one of those.
It’s my understanding that fortune tellers tend to be divided on how they feel about such people. Some of them say, “eh, money is money, whatever, I got paid.” Some of them feel like these people are who they’re intending to entertain – “I don’t really tell the future, I’m just an entertainer.” Some get really aggravated as they feel like they’re being ridiculed.
Because of how much of the whole thing is a show, you can’t really tell which of those responses the fortune teller is necessarily having. I’ve known some fortune tellers who felt it was great fun to be indignant at anyone who made fun of their claims, and others who were hurt but felt it wasn’t professional to admit their pain.
Is the moth another cameo or are they a D&D warlock/wizard you though of before ;P
Panel 6: There should be ellipses at the end of “Urvashi” and the beginning of “where”.
You may be correct. Or an exclamation point. Or a full stop. In this strip, Good Robin gets away with it by the having the words in different speech bubbles, indicating a different sentence.
“Let’s just hope the smoke is not bug spray…”
If it is, Urvashi the Mothra would face plant into her crystal ball like how Kaya smashes her cereal bowls the morning after having a cappuccino. I wonder if Urvashi knows Madame Dorino the Rhino Hybrid fortune teller…
I wonder what Viper and Drago’s fortunes shall be? Maybe “You will be scolded by a lemur girl for wandering off from her. Even if she’s the one who actually wandered off…” I’m guessing Tiana and Urvashi are friends alongside any other Hybrids in the circus, vitriolic or otherwise, or they just butt heads… As for Drago, my advice is just to have fun and get your fortune told, you don’t have to believe in it since it’s just for fun.
And to all you living here in the US, Happy Independence Day! Please celebrate your Fourth of July safely!
Big surprise in store for dear Drago? 😉 🙂
It would have to be a huge one, given how big Drago is. Otherwise it would be a “little surprise.”
Soon : welcome in the twilight zone , Viper and Drago ^_^”
Is Uvashi the first “bug” hybrid that we’ve seen so far in the comic?
He/she looks very mystical. Well, I guess any fortune teller would.
Forget my first question, I completely forgot about the last chapter. Forgive me.
Technically he was an arachnid hybrid, not a “bug”.
Bug usually encompasses both insects and arachnids. So e crustaceans too probably
Interesting. Is the moth going to show them the light?
(As you might guess from my avatar, I’m kind of partial to arthropod hybrids.)
Can’t help but think of the Seer moth from Hollow Knight.
I think I have an idea what the prediction is going to be. I’ll keep quiet about it until it’s revealed though.
I predict you’ll claim you were right…
Nah, I’ll be honest about it. I have a logical reason for my prediction. Just don’t want to possibly spoil it if I’m right.
Smoke usually rises. This stuff seems to be clinging to the ground/floor, so I’m thinking dry ice fog instead.
I hear that’s easy to set up – get bucket of water, get dry ice, place dry ice in water. I freaked out when Daniel the Human showed me video of that. He says he’d do it in person, except he doesn’t know where to get the stuff…
Used to be you could get “dry ice” at some grocery stores; don’t know about these days.
Honestly, I think this will be some sort of scam, but it will come true anyways.
Alternate option: I predict you’ll ask for a refund.
Missed opportunity: Could’ve called her Mon Motha.

Was that the joke or did you kill Jones FOR the joke?
