The race is on
as Kaya returns.
Powered by chocolate,
the water churns.
She’s out for a paddle
with the Mafiosa.
With every stroke,
she’s getting closer…
They’re being sorta fair
in English for Near’s sake.
But this is Kaya…
Chaos travels in her wake…
Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Okay, I finally gave in to the urge to google-translate the meaning of this recurring comment. And then I felt the urge to check on the previous pages, to make sure that it really has always been the same comment instead of just being the same welsh gibberish* to me.
Anyway: For all the curious people out there I’ll give the translation: “Thank you very much”
* Fun fact: The German term for gibberish is “Kauderwelsch”.
It’s surprising how many times that translation needs to be posted.
I love your name. I don’t understand it, but I love it.
Eh, people forget, new people join in, it happens…
I’ll admit, I have forgotten what it translates to once or twice… 😋
Sure. What could possibly go wrong?
You’re rowing a WOODEN BOAT towards a FIRE-BREATHING DRAGON. I cannot forsee this going wrong in any way, shape, or form.
Never mind the fire-breathing Dragon you’re rowing towards, I’d be more worried about the one you’re currently sharing a wooden boat with. A fire-breathing Dragon, who might I remind you, has shown borderline hyperactive tendencies and limited impulse control, even when NOT hyped up on coffee and chocolate…
Wait, why does Kaya even need to row? A fire-breathing dragon girl hyped up on caffeine is basically a rocket waiting to ignite!
Maybe she’s on a need-to-row basis.
That’s an oar-rible pun.
Love the puns you two!
Predictong next week’s comic: Kai and Annabella have a Monkey Island-style swordfight. Near holding a demonic talking skull optional.
Insulting each other is the only, and best, way to fight with swords.
“The tongue is mightier than the sword?” 🙂
Always felt like Murray should be allowed to fight for me, given his sharp wit, but I applaud your semi-obscure reference.
🤦🏻♂️
Bwahaha!!! It’s only a matter of time before the tender moments get interrupted.
Kai – “Uncle, step on it!”
Kaya – “Row, row, row your boat…”
This is 100% a Pepe LePew skit!
The Jaws theme plays, probably at a higher tempo. Coffee AND chocolate? Kaya’s now more dangerous than the titular shark of Jaws!
Anna just can’t leave Kai and Near alone for five minutes… Where’s a cannon when you need one? Kaya has superhuman strength on her side to row the boat as fast as a motor, but can she keep up with the tour boat when it goes full speed?
I’m not sure giving Kaya a mixture of coffee and chocolate is going to be good for her and everyone else, she’s hyper enough as is and consuming both will cause her to lose control of herself. Annabella’s going to be the one to deal with the aftermath given that she’s responsible. I wonder how her dad will react if she catches up to the boat and tries to board it… Maybe scolding her for invading Kai and Near’s privacy, especially so extremely?
BTW, today’s my birthday and this page did not disappoint!
I think for Kai’s mental health he livez in the US and thus only has to put up with Anna bella one month a year! Scarily determined, especially if she’s willing to do that to Kaya!
It’ a good thing he lives in the US. Should have looked things over before posting.
*headdesk* I hate typing on phone at times.
I hate typing on my phone at ALL times; it’s a flip-phone. 😉
For frick’s sake, Anabella, are you TRYING to sabotage the date?! Or are you seriously stupid enough to think that two people who are romantically interested in each other will benefit from some snarky fricker giving a running commentary? Frick OFF already!
This. It’s a good thing Near has a sense of humor. This really is going too far.
I’m really sad that Kaya is going along with it.
“It’s none of your fucking business, Annabella.”
More like she just needs to develop some patience. If she had just left them alone I’m sure Kai would have given her and Kaya all the details either later that evening or the next day.
*Annabella reaches the yacht.*
Anna, ital: “So how’s your date going, cuz?”
Kai, ital: “She ran away. Something about a crazy stalker.”
Anna “Well better luck next time, huh.”
Kai “If you keep chasing away my dates, I’ll stop visiting.”
*shocked pikachu expression*
Kaya on coffee AND chocolate? Annabella brought her big gun this time… 😂
I feel like the appropriate response (that I can’t see Kai choosing, but Near might) is to drop anchor, sit, and watch Annabella for a bit until she goes away.
A: “So, how’s the date going?”
K: “It’s on hold for the moment.”
A: “On hold? Why?”
N: “There’s an unwelcome third wheel stalking us.”
A: “Oh, well, point me at them, I’ll sort it out for you!”
K&N: “…”
A: “… wait, you mean me?”
K&N: “…”
;-]
Kai: Et tu, Kaya
Kaya, shrugging: Cleo is too nice to become a supervillain, this is my chance to finally experience qhat being a henchwoman is like ^^
“No one said a [person with hechmen] has to be evil. However, they are the ones who get all the press.”
(paraphrased from Freefall #2602)
Supervillain and evil are not mutually inclusive ^^ Nice tmight be exclusive though… 🙂
Those who are evil but nice become the most dangerous villains, because people tend to assume that a nice person is good.
Mmm, it’s hard for “nice” and “Supervillain” to share a description, I find. Aspects can be nice, but overall… there’s a certain… impact, I feel, to the “super” of “Supervillain”, that allows for good-intent, but makes “nice” hard to come by.
I don’t think of myself as Evil.
I just have a radically differently aligned moral compass.
P.S. I do not monologue.
I predicted a jet ski pursuit featuring the nosy pair. Kaya on coffee and chocolate is about as close as I can imagine to that.
At first I thought this was an April Fool’s strip (some comics I read have them)… Then I remembered it’s July, not April XD
Then it occurred to me that they are all redheads, this is the only other explanation I can think of XD
Kai: “We’re gonna need a faster boat.”
Their version of the last shanty is brilliant
You’ll never guess what I found with a quick poke of YouTube…

Jaws Theme Nightcore AKA Kaya’s Theme…
This is going to be interesting….
Dosing Kaya up on chocolate AND COFFEE?! OH, she’s gonna have a LOT of energy….. right up to the point where she doesn’t, which is when she’s going to drop like a rock into mud! She will burn out and sleep for 12+ hours as her body either recharges or goes into shock… 😋
kaya on a sugar rush and caffeine?! annabelle sure loves to live dangerously!
She is relentless, I will give her that.
Just a funny nitpick…boats usually don’t have a foot-operated accelerator pedal, so “PUNCH IT” referring to a hand throttle is more common, I think.
To quote Captain Pike we used to say (in the late 70s) “HIT IT”.
Hey, Robin. Thought you should know you forgot to post this week’s stream loot on ko-fi.
Kai: Setting breath to Deep Fat Fry
I died to Jaws in the NES game once, when I accidentally swam into her back fin.
