Aw yeah! Right on time.
I’m really liking the Innocent flirting they’ve got going on during a Semi-Important situation.
Well, if they’re flirting it certainly is innocent.
Well I just realized a huge glaring error in my part. In panel 4 her hair makes it look like shes got a big smile and add in the blush it totally seems to me like she’s kinda being flirty talking about being bad. On a side note I’m just throwing this out there but since shes a monster and she’s coming to the human world and gathering belongings I assume it’s like she’s required to bring something back as proof or if she is discovered she will be punished or even kicked out of her society. This logic comes from the fact that she is presumably living with him in the future.
Another interesting theory, one that makes a lot of sense actually!
But alas, I’m afraid I can neither confirm nor deny any sock-related theories at this point! 😉
Darn it no i cant see anything put that smile.
SO CUTE! But you are a horrible tease *grumbles* another week to wait before the next part. Do you realize you’re torturing your fans?
Hehe, well, I’ve gotta make people come back somehow! XD At least the next one we’ll be seeing an important turning point in their relationship, and an even bigger cliff-hanger! D’oh!
I love the look of both in This Page. And… yea like booomerangs say about the tease
Apologies for always teasing, but in the end it’ll all be worth it!
So I see two options :
1) Tim rips the photo in two parts and give half to Her.
2) Tim takes a photo of himself and gives it to Her.
or
3) he wants to make a deal with her: she stops taking his socks and has to come back to talk to him for a couple of nights before he hands the photo over
4) she has to show him how she got into his room and where she came from
5) Brandon just wrote “I wonder what he means…” to make us think Tim won’t just hand it over, but that’s exactly what he does, without further conditions (maybe still just asking her to come back and talk to him, but not making this a condition for him handing over the photo)
I could come up with more possibilitys, but they seem more and more unlikely XD
6) Tim eats the Photograph.
😉
7) the photograph eats Tim? =P
LOL
That would be unexpected XD
… but that would also mean that the comic would end waaaay to early XD
Goddamned, this page is so darn adorable. It seems, her puppy-eyed look in panel 4 is really getting to him.
But I’m kinda surprised she let Tim see how vulnerable she is right now… either all of this is really wearing her out and she doesn’t have the energy to worry about it or she is already feeling sort of comfortable around him… after all, neither was he afraid of her, nor was he put off by her appearance and even called her a wonder (such innocent flattery… he probably has no idea what he has done XD )
Gosh, and now waiting again for next sunday…. you’re evil… pure evil… keep up the good work XD
The last straw with her was 2 pages ago, now she’s got nothing else to do but level with him.
Daaww and here I really hoped it’s at least partially because she already kinda likes him… well, at least it’s a start =3
Heh, can’t it be both?
That would be… acceptable XD
After all they have known it each other only for a couple of minutes now, so it’s fine.
… come to think of it, she has stolen his socks long before this night… maybe she was already watching his sleeping figure, silently carrying a torch for him while sitting on his bedside… now, that thought is kinda cute and creepy at the same time XD
… and with that comes another thought…. could it be that she… uhm, how to say it in english… that she has a weakness for humans? And that she is stealing his socks because she collects ’em and other human stuff like other people collect rocks or stamps?
Hmmm! 😉
After reading todays page, i had to make an account.
Brandon, are you present on DeviantArt? Your artwork sure is up to that level.
I follow you comic since just about 3 week, but i really like it.
And i really want to know where the socks are gone.
I have galleries on several sites out there, DeviantArt included! Can you find me? Do you Dare?
😀
I was actually surprised by one of your galleries on another site, though considering some of the “naughty” stuff we’ve already been shown it’s wasn’t too much of a stretch to realize you had an account there. Kinda makes me hope we get some fanservicey cheesecake over there even it doesn’t end up over here.
I’ll be updating the gallery here as new stuff comes out, so it’ll be pretty accessible. Everything not related to ‘Monster’ will still be posted elsewhere though.
always with the cliff hangers. These dont come out fast enough. Liking the comic so far came in about 3 pages ago and its awesome cant wait for the rest
Thanks for keeping up with my story! XD
I’m afraid the cliff-hangers are a necessary evil, for now.
What better way to keep us all coming back, you evil, wonderful person, you! XD
to quote one of my favorite webcomics (CRFH)- “You incredibly sadistic bastard” 😀
what is crfh?
College Roomies From Hell!
I am on DA and follow Shiniez`Sunstone, if you know it. Also, Looking for Group (where my Avatar pic is from) and Bleedman´s Grim Tales as well as a few others. I´m already used to cliffhangers, they are pretty much like a bittersweet reminder to come back.
I know of both, but haven’t actually read either of those. And cliff-hangers are pretty much a staple of comics, so I don’t get the concern. lol
These two could quite possibly be the absolute cutest fictional couple I’ve ever come across. I don’t exactly know what could happen if the picture doesn’t disappear, but you can tell be hear look and tone that “very bad” is an understatement. Tim’s completely innocent acceptance of the person he should honestly be terrified of adorable. Her ease at being able to talk with Tim (along with the thieving of the socks) makes me want to believe that she has hoped to be able to talk with him for some time. All of this makes me want to cheer on any kind of future that these two can have together. Although I’m fairly certain they are gonna have to serious hardships to get through if they want a future together. I know find myself counting down days until the next Sunday to see what comes next! XD
There will be many hardships, but a lot of good times along the road as well!
The building blocks of any good long term relationship. I’ll be cheering them on all the way!
By which I mean I really hope these two get a chance at a happy ending. Too many sad or bittersweet ending in stories these days. There’s enough of all that in the real world. I’d love more happy ending in the fantasy and stories I use to escape the real world.
It’s a little soon to talk about the ending, but rest assured it’ll pretty much be a happy one when it comes.
I’m crossing my fingers he eats the photo next
I really want to see the look on her face if that is indeed what he ends up doing XD
Haha! I’m sure it would be great!
Please do that, even if it is just for an April Fools post, all your fans would be highly entertained.
The puppy-eyed look in panel look is rather nice. Now as for how bad….. hmmmm, maybe she would be turned into a human and thrown out of the monster society wearing nothing. Tim would might say “That’s not bad.” But Monster Girl would give the glare that girls do that it would be bad. As for DeviantArt gallery, I found your gallery and learned Monster Girl’s name. So anyone else here will need to head over and find your gallery and learn what her name is. 😉
I think Tim would actually prefer her to be herself, but if she was forced into being a human, would try his best to make it easy for her. Not that that is going to happen though. ;-P
I hope She dont become a Human :l because “Sombria” (thas the name i give her for now, until Brandon tell us the real name) have and assome designe, and i love the contras between supernatural beings living with humans. And again Sorry for my Bad english.
“Sombria” how cute! XD Don’t worry, she won’t become a human. She is what she is!
I’m so fucking sore I slept for for 12 hours
Dont Worry “CanabisFather” you only need practice. Go to Youtube and become the first in atleast 1000 videos, an then you will be Redy. I have Faith in You. -tochung my fake Martia artist Master Beard-
Well then don’t do that! XD
I slept for about 6, after finishing this page up and posting it.
ho demonios no puede ser :l. so wath i shoul i Do with this martial artist master Beard?
Dude! Keep it of course!
I just realized it now, but… is Tim blushing all so slightly in the second panel? Like, he actually just needs an excuse to make her stay a little longer/ to come back because she’s cute and he likes her already *g*
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe!
Dang the masquerade must be very serious buisness for these beasties.
Loving the body language you got going with your art, I bet you could probably do a page with no dialogue and still get some good communication going. Although in Panel 4 her hair makes it seem like she’s grinning, kinda of a bit of a mood changer from the serious tone, unless that was intentional.
Do we ever find out the why of sock theft or is doomed to be a noodle incident / brick joke for the rest of the comic?
Lol I really don’t see how her hair can be confused for her mouth… I mean… it’s orange, and it’s always been there. I dunno. I guess, if I cross my eyes.
>~< And as for the socks, we'll find out.... but not for a long time. Heck, by that time people might have already forgotten, as socks become rather something of a non-issue as the story progresses.
sorry i dont se how to.
Its the positioning of the little triangly bit near the bottom of her hood, its right on the level of where her mouh would be if she was smiling smirking while talking.
That plus the posture with one knee sticking out makes it seem like she’s being more confident than she actually is. It’s just an interesting little unintential combo
*shrugs* Meh. It is what it is, I guess. 😛
Alright, you sir, you have to stop with the adorableness. If you waste it all here, there will be none for the later pages!
But I love the 4th panel. The puppy eyes and the two blushing just screams “Neither of us is entirely sure of what’s happening…”
As for hte photo, my first thought was “He will rip it.” but now I want to see him eats it. It’d scare her more than it should.
Naaaaw! I’ve got buckets of cute left! XD
I MAY have to work it into some dialogue or something. We’ll see!
