Clem knows what she’s doing, so how soon will the flood of customers hit Marco’s food truck? XD
Seeing as she has a lot of followers in Hybrid City itself, that could be pretty soon xD
“Incoming tsunami! Brace for impact!”
“But we’re nowhere near the water?”
“Not of water, of people!”
*Points at the unstoppable wave of teens charging at the food trailer…*
I see two already.
Poem shortly. Christmas greetings to Robin first.
Don’t let the Krampus in, bud!
But I like the Krampus. He’s pretty chill 🙂
Merry Christmas to you too 😀
Do Kai and Kaya like the Krampus as well?
Krampus did nothing wrong.
Those damn kids had it coming.
Does Zeke see the real her
or just the facsimile?
Is there heart under there;
spread out liberally?
Making cash for being;
regardless of talent?
Advising to go where
she never would frequent?
Publicity for cash
is quite a hollow goal.
If Clem doesn’t watch out,
she’s going to lose her soul…
The truth is Cleo’s spirit’s higher.
Because, above all, she’s got Kaya.
Awesome.
You don’t need talent to get cash from insta…wham, but I would guess she DOES have talent, possibly two – marketing and acting.
Clementine is more cute in this outfit (my opinion) ; and a very good model , to plan all by herself ^^
It’s a strange feeling but i begin to think the witches will clash with her , soon
I suspect that if Larissa and Dinah do make it to the food truck and order something that their plan to create a stir online will backfire thanks to Clementine and her review of the food. Larissa and Dinah may find themselves being deluged with comments of fake and stuff along that line from Clem’s followers.
That’s possible . But there’s too the possibility other watchers says Clementine’s got a special food as publicity and maybe the witches are true , creating a war in instawham : we have to wait the next pages
I bet too the human girl with purple T-shirt (fifth panel) knows who is Clementine and will harass her , disturbing Cleo’s plan ………..
War in instawham? Are you talking about getting even more huge publicity for everyone involved?
I’m speaking about discussions becoming rough , according the heating peoples in the chat
Or possibly Larissa’s malfeasance will be caught live on camera by Zeke and she will be outed for the nasty that she is.
A lot of planning to make things look natural. Clem does look amazing in that outfit. And that apparatus Zeke has for the phone I pretty interesting. I wonder if it’s something he designed or something available for sale?
It looks like it based on this, https://www.ulanzi.com/products/u-rig-pro-smartphone-rig-ulanzi.
My guess, available for sale AND already advertised by Clem.
If I had the money to start a business I would totally steal the name “instawham” ^^

Aaaaaaaw…… I wanted that one 🙁
Clem and Cleo are both business savvy, while Kaya and Zeke are the more supportive type, for different reasons. At some point Kaya’s probably going t mention her social media presence, she did pack up all her stuff for the move and did a quick unpack when Kai mentioned letting her followers know she might not be available for a while.
I just had a thought, what if Kaya and Cleo started a new channel? Maybe with Clem coming on as a guest every once in a while. They could call it K & C Business Ventures, and the channel could detail the two of them going and seeing what goes into starting different sorts of businesses, maybe each video details a day in the life of each business for a month or so, there is technically a market for that sort of content. Cleo and Kaya get to learn about all sorts of different businesses, while sharing some of that with their audience, and Cleo gets to get some business experience while Kaya helps out and acts as support and the voice of the audience (mostly through reading comments and the like). Clem and Zeke could get on the fun as well, if they want to. Maybe they even stream their opening day to help everyone get a more accurate idea of what to expect when they officially open the business for the first time. Maybe they’ll start things off simple, taking advantage of Kaya’s cooking abilities where she explains why she’s such a good cook/chef.
Something tells me Kaya and Zeke are going to be fast friends when this is over.
Has Wonder Woman 1984 come out yet in this world?
That’s a very odd question but, just to find out, I’ll bite.
Why do you ask, jp?
The film’s central message, established early on, is that “Nothing good ever comes from lies.”
I think I’m being particularly dense today… Can you tie that in with this strip for me, please?
…and MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYPONY! 🙂
She’s making like visiting the festival was her idea when it wasn’t. If any of her followers are savvy, they’ll see the whole thing was staged.
Robin, did you[/Cleo] just quote frickin’ GrayStillPlays in your artist’s comment? Respect and a half.
I am still dreading the Villains showing up.
Not the only one…
Yeah… not sure how successful they would be now… their plan was to flame the place on social media, but Clem has a much larger influence, so that might completely counter whatever they do… But I don’t understand social media, so can’t tell.
Same. I don’t know Social Media at all.
4CHAN HAZ U
wait….
>:)
I gotta admit, it still confuses me when you Humans so carefully plan out what is going to “spontaneously” happen. I mean, they’re using a mobile to make it more “authentic”, doing things to make it more “real”, she’s making it look like she’s spending the day at the Festival…
Daniel the Human tells me they’re basically making a commercial with a “loose script” and just making the rest up as they go, and it’s different from those people who spend up to an hour plus giving themselves the “I only just woke up, perfect as always” look. THOSE people I definitely can’t understand…
I wonder if the food will be that good that she’ll break from her internal script she’s mentally written up. Planned to react at level 5, food inspires level 9 reaction & offering a taste to Zeke despite him working the camera…
Clem looks much cuter and more chill now. Probably also forcing herself into her “on camera” face.
It may be that Zeke has a crush on her or something. Or maybe just really good friends
There’s no way he’s not getting paid somehow. Either in money (though labor laws could be an issue, he doesn’t look 16) in credit for some school program, maybe stock in the company that sponsors Clem, or at least a cut of the profit from said sponsor. Even if your assistant/cameraman is a close friend it’s not something that should be done for free considering they both seem about as professional as their experience allows.
Clementine introduced Zeke as her “personal assistant.”
Judging from the way Zeke’s tail is wagging, that seems like a good possibility.
Clementine: “Hey Zeke, you got a flea on your butt or are you just happy to see me?”
I like Zeke’s handheld setup. And Clem’s looking good.
.. I want to see the menu.
Now I understand why it’s so warm. See, the shadows are still at the same angle as they were several hours ago. Obviously the planet has stopped spinning, and this side now gets constant sunshine while the opposite hemisphere is freezing in darkness. It’s no wonder the weather is out of whack! :-Þ

This page panel 5 versus linked page panel 3. Humans long shadows versus tables shadows slightly of being directly under them.
Not done in 3D quality lighting but time has been considered.
lol
“authentic”
“But what i really want to do is direct”
– Dennis Hopper
Do you know if DH ever got the chance to actually try directing?
According to a 2008 article in IndieWIRE:
“After garnering considerable acclaim for directing films like 1969’s “Easy Rider” and 1988’s “Colors,” Hopper hasn’t directed a film since 1993’s “Chasers.””

Clementine seems to have ripened from sour to sweet and tangy citrus, changing clothes must have let her release some heat. She wants to be surprised when she orders off the menu when the camera’s rolling… seems she wants to be in the same boat as us! She must want her reaction to be authentic, judging by the title, so she must be posting her video live. I hope this means we get to see Kai cooking up a storm as his dad’s sous chef in next week’s page! He looks so adorable in his uniform!
As for Kaya’s note on her next Utube video, I feel like she may shake the camera a little too much…
Kaya: “Shake the camera to make it more ‘authentic,’ huh?”
*Imagine spot to the future where Kaya’s recording a new Utube video, the camera is being shaken too much and the video is a near complete blur*
Video comment: Was this recorded during an earthquake?!
Well we know that they have lasagna. It can’t be made from scratch easily, so they would be operating just like a real restaurant, the food is made ahead of time, cooked later.
Have the people inside the trailer been warned? They might notice the camera, even if they are oblivious to her identity. Dad might not know who she is.
Kai might get camera shy.
*Kai notices the camera and freezes up a little and blushes as he tries to ask Clementine for her order.*
Kai: “M-muh muh muh may I-i ta-take yo-yo-your order?”
Cleo’s secret weapon might be a little too secret for comfort? 🙂
Unrehearsed filming with improvised content. Seems like Plot bait similar to Chekhov’s gun.
Things could get interesting, especially if unforeseen events liven up the content.
Could end up more shared than expected if it’s live uploaded.
Larissa could decide to use Clementine’s presence to further her plan, and not realize Zeke has it all on ‘film’. 🙂
That should be a possibility , and funny to see when she notices Zeke ^_^
“And if you ever want to see Clementine alive again…”
I’m betting on one of the dishes being served with fish head sauce, and being delicious.
