#97 “Temptation”
-UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2ND, 2016-
Hello everybody!
I’d just like to leave a quick note letting you know that I am currently on VACATION! WOO-HOO! Sadly, I must inform you that there will be no new comic this weekend (and possibly nothing next weekend either, depending on how rested I am!)
Never fear though (or fear more; the girls do so enjoy it!) the comic shall return soon! Perhaps I’ll treat you guys to something good though, during my time off. 😉
Sleep tight, bed bugs

It never lets you down…
wait, if it is help with tim, is that book what i think it is (something i dont think tim or shadow should be looking at at their age)?
I’m not sure what you are implying! But no, it has nothing to do with sex.
I didn’t think so but I’m glad you have confirmed it. The story is too sweet for that at their age. Its still a few years (I think) for that to surface.
Heh. You know Brandon, it’s great you’re able to end so many of your comic pages on cliff hangers, but if you keep this up I’m going to need blood pressure medication. Damn you. 😛
master of suspense for the non suspenseful situation 😛
Funnily enough, I don’t consider most of these cliff-hangers at all. I write out a conversation or scene and simply break it up into a few natural stopping points. This page however IS a cliff-hanger for certain though, as it ends the scene and it won’t be touched upon again for a little bit, sadly.
I wonder if we’ll ever be able to see what’s inside that book…
Perhaps a separate publishing of the ‘book’ itself? Would be an awesome treat 😀
Keep up tha’ good work Brandon! Although the cliffhangers are killing me inside. Cheers!
…That could be kinda neat, like how we got a nigh show accurate Jorunal 3 from Gravity Falls.
Let’s just say the information is more interesting than actually seeing the pages.
Ah so it’s probly not even in English as far as writing. Still be nice to see one page of it at some point get a glimpse of their culture and all.
So is the ‘M’ on the cover of the Encyclopedia she gave her stand for ‘Monster’ or is it like ours and represents a letter of their alphabet?
Just wondering whether she got the equivalent to the first book of their encyclopedia set or just the letter ‘M’ of their encyclopedia set? 😛
Oh yea, and who prints encyclopedias in monster land anyway? Do they have a developed commerce and industrial section staffed by non scarring job monsters? ;D
I’m pretty certain it stands for “Magic”, as you can see by the welcoming glow the encyclopaedia is emitting upon being opened!
Magic? like, hmm, disguise magic, so she can look like human… very intriguing)
OMG she’s so CUTE I love her nighty, Shadow’s lolita look is great.
Thank you! I’ve been kicking the concept around in my head for awhile now, but only now get to finally put it to ‘paper’, so to speak.
You think the words… but your “tail language” says otherwise, Shadow 😉
Now, serious question : when will us, the readers, know what’s inside the book ? Just a peak !
Brad pitt : whats in the book!!!!!
Maybe a few hints, but nothing conclusive until near the end of the chapter. 😉
I’m okay with that !
The book of M – Mating – and all you need to know about it.
I guess if this scaring gig doesn’t work out, Shadow can get a job as a sock juggler…
? juggling ?? the socks are stuck to her wall.! ? how is she juggling ??
She IS rather cat-like, and you know what they say about cats and curiosity.
And the book is like demon’s version of the Kamasutra
Methinks that someone doth protest too much!
Given Moonlight’s conversation with “Lady Blackheart”, I suspect that it contains useful spells such as becoming invisible, glowing, etc. In other words – it’ll help her visit Tim unseen and, when she’s on duty, it’ll help her scare people.
After all there must be a reason that she was able to disappear when Midnight sought out Shadow.
She’s just that awesome.
Is the page that she’s looking at one that her benefactor bookmarked for her?
if the red ( here pink )you see in panel 4 is what you are talking about ,, it’s her bow. she just randomly opened the book…
I think she just opened it randomly, but I’m sure Lady Blackheart may have left a few hints on where to start.
I know you don’t believe me.
But I’m confused, I think it shows.
We’re just friends, with curiosity,
I don’t care, ‘cause he is so much to me.
I don’t need her help, and you know it,
Please believe me (don’t you know.)
I don’t need her book, baby, baby,
Please believe me (don’t you know.)
Now I know a feelin’ boy,
Is just a boy with no sense of fear.
But if I need to feel so weepy,
I don’t mind creepy, if it’ll keep him very near.
I don’t need her help, and you know it,
Please believe me (don’t you know.)
I don’t need her book, baby, baby,
Please believe me (don’t you know.)
If I have to sleep in his bedroom all day or night,
Just to stop me from losing him, right,
If Mother finds out, I know I couldn’t stand.
‘Cause I wanna keep him, anyway I can!
I don’t need her help, and you know it,
Please believe me (don’t you know.)
I don’t need her book, baby, baby,
Please believe me (don’t you know.)
Now I’ve got a book so big with a bright letter “M,”
That I know contains lore and lore.
It’s not so wrong to look and peek in it, baby,
If peeking lets me keep something I adore.
I don’t need her help, and you know it,
Please believe me (don’t you know.)
I don’t need her book, baby, baby,
Please believe me (don’t you know.)
Baby, baby darling…
—from “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” the Temptations. (What’d you think I’d do with that title this week?)
Duck Tales? I don’t know J/K lol
Haha, well, I was thinking something more like this:

But I can see how one might go another way!
That’s the problem with the generation gap. We don’t know the same songs.
Hehe, it’s fine, it’s fine!
But you *have* heard of the Temptations, haven’t you?
Is it wrong for me to hear this as sung by the Californian Rasins? Love the “Meet The Raisins” singers and version of the classic lyrics.
Poor Shadow you say all that but it’s like cookies the more you say you don’t want them the more of them you want in the end. The other side of the book is a funny looking C hmmm C. M.? COOKIE MONSTER! C is for cookie and Tims good enough for me cookie cookie cookie starts with C OH YEAH! Sorry went off on tangent there not sure where that came from. :p
It’s all good!
