Karen being Karen leads to Maddie's baleful gaze rendering the victim barren.
If the universe is infinite, does that mean that there is a version of me out there who's thinking the exact same thing?

While we're on the topic of alternate universes, is there one where I'm a lawyer? If yes, then I may be more evil than I thought.

Beat me by 10 seconds NuclearBird!

Good to see the erogenous zone ears are still a thing and that Maddie is still a ninja as ever (even if she is apparently reading the paper upside down). This might be the first time we've seen Maddie flustered since her initial appearances when she was infatuated with Keith on the Basitin Isles; me thinks she doesn't like the idea someone else touching the ears that she wants to touch...

Heh. Now, is Maddie reading the paper upside down because:
  1. she can't read written Human, or
  2. she reads it so well, she's nonchalantly doing it as an exercise, or
  3. 1 or 2 plus "weirding out onlookers, Madness-style".

I just love Karen's expressions in the first two panels!

Also, apparently chairs don't seem to be a problem for Basitins when it comes to their tails.

P.S. Did this get updated before I got here?

Re: reading the newspaper upside down.
Maybe Maddie is dyslexic and she started reading human documents while upside-down (hanging from the ceiling?), so she is reading it this way to stay in practice. It is a handy skill for a potential spy.

I’m actually kinda amused by :Maddie: looking all serious-like reading the newspaper.

Even before I noticed she was reading it upside-down.

And then rolling it up and swatting :karen: like a bad dog.

Sometimes, it's a matter of posture, behaviour and word choice that influences peoples' perception of you. And Maddie has proven in the past to not be quite all she seems.

Spoon of Truth FTW

...and um erm gee, that reference page, Karen did get quite hands-on back then. It practically needs a censor two censors!

Boy how time changes things. Haha

Yeah, I'm definitely picking up stronger Adelaide resemblance this page. The lashes go a loooong way towards that.

Nah, possibly/probably 2 and 3. It's established she's Human literate and potentially a bit of a speed reader back when she read Sealeen's spellbook/journal moments after stealing it.

Where did Natani's dragon scale vest go? Did she summon these robes with a wardrobe version of the summoning table?

The way I see it, Maddy learned to read human that way and it is easier for her to read human upside down.

Oh wo-how, that is a callback. Given what we know about basitin culture now, Karen practically sexually assaulted Keith back then.
