That’s Animaniacs Tim’s watching on TV.
I was wondering what was on the TV. What is the painting on the wall?
So it is!
“Golden Lion suit” I’m extremely interested in seeing it.
I think you already have Angelo.
I think we as it only a page ago.
Guessing its actually a “Sexy Lion” costume.
I’m guessing it’s actually her real form.
Given the color, that might actually be a legit answer.
Would mean however that Tim had seen her Noxian form.
And just didn´t understand back then.
They told him some BS about it being a costume.
Raaawr!
That to me is more than enough to say yeah, we on point.
Happy Birthday to me~
Happy Birthday to me~
No, but seriously, it is my birthday today
Oh, Happy Birthday! *streamers*

Happy B-Day Bro.
“So it’s a bit FUZZY”
You can’t slide that pun past me bro.
Memories can play funny tricks on us all, sometimes.
What. The. Hell.
So many questions.
Is this happening at the same time Black Heart is helping Shadow? That is my main question. With the eleventh hour nearing, did she have time to come back to the Earth world? And what is she so busy with? We never actually know what her job is.
And what is the picture you use for the painting on the wall?
No, it’s not the same day. It wasn’t Halloween yet when Tim told Shadow about it, then she went home that same night and borrowed her leggings from Midnight, and got help from Lady Blackheart.
Currently it’s Halloween day, as indicated by Ruth.
She’s busy doing stuff. Mom stuff.
It’s a picture of a watermill on the wall. 🙂
I thought so, in reference to the painting. I believe Bob Ross did a painting like that one one of his episodes.
“Mom stuff”, eh? It is my understanding that “mom stuff”, of boys at least, typically includes “matchmaking efforts”….
Isn´t that more “grandmother stuff”?
How do you think grandmothers got so good at it?
Consider #113 ( /?comic=113-something-borrowed <–append that to the website name), where Midnight says it is morning. In #111 ( /?comic=111-a-little-too-real ), where Tim explains about Halloween costumes, had actually been on All Hallows' Eve, then in #113 Shadow would have been too late, wasting her time to obtain some leggings that would hide her toes/claws. #113 and #114 ( /?comic=114-sometime ), with Lady Blackheart helping out, therefore had to happen in the daytime, before the big night.
HELLLOOOOO Nurse! I love some Animaniacs, and this comic, I stumbled on it and ended up reading the whole comic to current and reading the story, You’ve done great work.
I guess everyone is on Animaniacs to day. Listen to there old songs before I go to work, Brandon uses them in his comic update. And you are Wooing a Nurse. It’s just all maniacs today.
Sweet! Thanks for taking the time!
I think the golden lion suit is what shadow is now wearing.
Don’t be silly! Shadow is a child and Ruth is an adult! She’d never be able to fit into any hypothetical suit. Also Ruth and Shadow have never met, obviously!
wink wink
VHS player, NES, SNES and animaniacs( not to forget tim’s job a few pannel ago) what a way to anchor the time this take place as. I tip my hat to thee
Something is up. It’s too obvious. I know all the clues are pointing to it. Especially from a certain previous page, but a part of me is saying it’s too easy. What are you p too Brandon? What game are you playing? Also been a while since my last read. Just got back and caught up. It’s nice to see this lovely story is still here, and that you are playin with the audience. I’m glad I still follow this comic and thanks for everything you’ve given us so far Bro.
Thanks! And you’re right; something is up!
I’ve been getting a similair vibe. Too obvious, unless its a case of it being too obvious to hide that it really is her, ala an “I know that you know that I know”, type thing
Animaniacs!
And why do I feel that, with all this set up, the mom will actually turn out NOT to be Blackheart?
I mean, I certainly think the mom is, but sometimes artists like to pull a fast one just to prove people wrong.
It’s a move I HATE.
When done right it can be quite awesome. Like the reveal of Tarn’s identity in MTMTE. Unfortunately not many can pull it off successfully… 🙁
You know… is Shadow’s thing happening in tandem with Tim’s?
Kinda wish you had been more secretive of who Tim’s mom is, cause that would have been a seriously good twist towards the end. but its been a good read so far!
Brandon, You’ve mentioned in the past that you’d update more frequently if enough Patreon donations were made to justify going to part-time work IRL. Maybe you could incentivize more Patreon supporters by offering an OC Tier, where you would draw an Avatar of your Patron that would appear in the comic as a background character or someone spoken to in passing (like some of Shadow’s classmates (are they classmates?) or a random male Noxian met in the halls talking to another male, etc. Could apply to human avatars as well if you decide to expand the world outside Tim’s house beyond special occasions.
Of course, you’d have total control on when or where an OC would appear…
Nah, I’m not going to be putting random cameos into the comic for money… I’ve seen it done before and personally, it’s not so great. I’m trying to tell a specific story, so I don’t want just anybody walking through it, simply because they paid for the privilege to do so. It muddles things.
