WHA...? / Val: HAHAHAHAHAHA! That was great! / [[a goblin spectates]] / Kari: What is it about martial arts that makes teachers want to mess with their students? / Val: No idea.

For as much as he likes to talk, Eldritch is a pretty good teacher. / Val: Heh. I bet you've never told him that. / Kari: Sure! I've... well I guess I've never said that in so many words. I should probably mention it. / Val: Not telling you what to do. / Kari: I know. / Val: I'm just saying that sometimes people like to hear things said. / Kari: You're right. I really should let him know. / [[A gaggle of object-oriented gnomes peeks in]] / Kari: Mostly, I haven't because I don't want him to get a swelled head. / Val: Oh, you're way to late to stop that. / {{And yet, nobody's ever thanked me for telling them how annoying they are.}} / {{Appearances:}} {{Valeria Steele}} {{Kari Proctor}}

Now bet me I can't parachute off the roof! / <> / {{Hey, a comic within a comic! That's practically Shakespearean!}}
 
#546 - Trevor Comics 2 {{Comic #546)) {{Trevor Comics 2}} / [[Trevor and Ping in the basement]] / [[Risky Shenaningans. The comic about Trevor and Ping!]] / Ping: I can't believe the day we just had. / TrevorL I know. / TV: Next on Lifetime everyone thought Stephanie was a normal high-school girl... / Ping: You ate the world's largest cheeseburger, then we had a fireworks battle. After you ate a dozen pizzas, we built and launched a cardboard submarine. / TV: Bye mom! I'm off to choir practice! / TV: Wait, Stephanie. I'm worried about you. / Ping: But then you ate so many chicken taquitos that you passed out, and we smashed your wagon riding it down Dead Man's Hill!

Tabor today.]] / Eldritch: Val says you two have been sparring daily. How's that been? / Kari: Well, to be honest, it's caused some mixed emotions. I mean hanging out with Val is awesome. / Kari: I thought she'd given up being all into me, but I noticed that after our sessions, I don't see Ping around for awhile, so you know what that means. Which I think should worry me, but it doesn't, really. So I wonder if I'm more into the possibilities than I thought I was. But every time I start thinking about that, I ask myself what it is I really WANT, and end up going in circles, trying to tell what I truly feel. / Kari: The fact that I'm even THINKING about these things means that there's more to my feelings than just friendship, right? But I still wonder if it's riskier to our relationship to see where those feelings take us, or to just be happy with the way things are and doing stuff together. / Eldritch: I just meant whether you were improving your combat skills? / Kari: Of course I am. But why wouldn't you want the important information? / {{And if you want, I can go on about it for awhile...}} / {{Appearances:}} {{Dr. Eldritch}} {{Kari Proctor}} {{Portland, Oregon}}

But not what I'm thinking. / Kari: Have them guess how much change is in my pocket? / Eldritch: Not bad. But there's an even better way. / Kari: Please tell me, Wise One. / Eldritch: When they describe the source of their "abilities" them mention energies, vibrations, auras, or chakras. / Kari: That's it? / Eldritch: Well, also if their services cost $1.99 per minute on your phone bill. / Kari: I'll stick with the mallet. / {{You can also tell them a funny joke, but only THINK the punchline}} / {{Appearances:}}{{Dr. Eldritch}}{{Kari Proctor}}
#549 - Nice {{Comic 549}} {{Nice}} / [[Dr. Eldritch and Kari Proctor are in the Mounthgate firing range]] / Kari: I think it would be cool to read minds! / Eldritch: Yes.

And eventually it drives them mad. / Kari: So, there's no happy medium? / Eldritch: Actually, there is, because... / <> / {{silent penultimate panel}} / Eldritch: I walked right into that, didn't I? / Kari: HAHAHAHAHAHA! I win! / {{But a real psychic would have seen that coming!}} / {{Appearances:}}{{Dr. Eldritch}} {{Kari Proctor}}

Until now. It all makes sense! / Kari: I've been trying to predict things like coin flips and which celebrity will break up with someone today. I'm not always right, but I'm doing pretty well! Eldritch wants to do a thorough test in a couple days. I wonder if I can study for it? / Val: Uh huh. Tell me what I'm thinking. / Kari: This is all a load of hooey. / Val: Well, yeah.

Otherwise you would never believe me. / Kari: But I got so many right in the first test! / Eldritch: That deck of cards has the symbols worked into the dot pattern on the back. They're at the threshold of perception, so only your subconscious registered them. If it's any comfort, you did that quite well. / [[more gnomes have come to watch the humiliation]] / Kari: So I'm not.. oh NO! This is so embarrassing! I was telling EVERYONE! / Eldritch: Shall I play the section of tape where I warned you against doing that? / Kari: Oh, yes, let's make my humiliation complete. / {{Well, if we burn DVDs of this tape and send it to everyone, THAT would make it complete.}} / {{Appearances:}} {{Kari Proctor}} {{Dr. Eldritch}} {{Schadenfreude Gnomes}}

Can you imagine any OTHER reason for why I did what I did? / Kari: Let's see, there's... nope. I can't think of any. / Eldritch: You're angry. I get that. / Eldritch: If I TOLD you that people yearn for something magical in their lives so much that they'll fall for the flimsiest evidence, you'd say "uh huh," and think you learned something. Instead, this episode, embarrassing as it may be, has given you an indelible understanding of it. / Kari: I'm trying to sulk here. Do we have to turn this into a learning experience. / Eldritch: Well, that WAS the whole point. / {{Next time, can we just watch the After School Special?}} / {{Appearances:}} {{Dr. Eldritch}} {{Kari Proctor}}

#555 - Ancestral Wisdom {{Comic 555}} {{Ancestral Wisdom}} / [[Kari Proctor and Great Grandma Clara are in Kari's room]] / Kari: ...and the most embarrassing thing is that I fell for it so easily. I did EXACTLY what he expected me to do. I think he's doing it just to irritate me. / Clara: And I think you're being a bit of a whiner, dear. / Kari: What? Me? / [[enter eavesdropping red haired fairy (not a pixie) in purple dress]] / Clara: Yes, you. It seems every time I visit, you tell me about how you've been upset of inconvenienced. But didn't you WANT this arrangement? Isn't that Eldritch fellow doing exactly what you asked of him? / Kari: Yes, but... / Clara: Then be a grown-up girl about it. I daresay you'd be a fair bit happier if you focused more on doing your very best and remembering just you lucky you are. / Kari: I... I hadn't thought of it that way. You're probably right. / Clara: Of course I am, dear. / Kari: I guess being dead gives you an amazing, deep insight into life. / Clara: No, sweetie, just a lot of free time. / {{Come to think of it, reported hauntings are way down since the invention of Cable TV...}} / {{Appearances:}} {{Kari Proctor}} {{Great-Grandma Clara}} {{Red Haired Fairy in Purple Dress}}

This will be good practice! / Eldritch: Whoa, this is eerie. You look so much like the real Kari. / Kari: Today, I'm not going to let you get to me. / Eldritch: You realize, of course, that sounds like a challenge. / Kari: Well, at least I can tell it's the real you. / Eldritch: Touch?. / {{Have you made your plans yet for National Be Replaced by a Doppelganger Day?}} / {{Appearances:}} {{Dr. Eldritch}} {{Kari Proctor}} {{Sudbury}}
#558 - Reason {{Comic 558}} {{Reason}} / [[Dr. Eldrtich and Kari Proctor are at lessons in his study. Sudbury is also there]] / Eldritch: ...and that's why you should never wear plaid in a labyrinth. Okay, unless you have any more questions, let's call it a day. / Kari: Sure. You know, we covered a lot of material, but you really didn't give me a hard time. / Eldritch: Well, it's more fun to mess with you when you're not expecting it. / Kari: I can say the same for you. / Eldritch: Naturally. / Eldritch: I'm impressed with your renewed enthusiasm and commitment. May I ask what caused this change of heart? / Kari: I believe the technical term is "Scroogification." / Eldritch: Ah. Three ghost came to you in the night, and you saw the error of your ways. / Kari: Exactly. / {{This is the correct term but technically Scrooge was visited by FOUR ghosts.}} / {{Appearances:}} {{Dr. Eldritch}} {{Kari Proctor}} {{Sudbury}} / Kari: Has that ever happened to you? / Eldritch: That's how I quit using the word "irregardless."

Hey, you could interview me! / Walter: Um, no, that's okay. / Kevin: Why not? / Walter: Well... you know... / Kevin: It's because I'm a plant, isn't it? You don't think of me as REAL furniture! / Walter: No, it's because all you know of your family history is that you came from Home Depot. / Gary: But now that you mention it, you really aren't furniture, are you? / Walter: Yeah, you don't DO anything. / Kevin: I provide oxygen! That's at least as useful as an Area Rug! / Area Rug (off-panel): Leave me out of this, Kevin! / {{Man, Area Rugs sure are touchy!}} / {{Appearances:}} {{Gary the Clock}} {{Walter the Dresser}} {{Kevin the Ficus}} {{Area Rug}}

You can do that! / Ping: Well, it's mostly theoretical, so far. / Ping: The concept is that the genes for teeth and long tails, for example, are still in a chicken's DNA. By manipulating when growth for those features start and stop, one can reverse-evolve dinosaurs back from their modern chicken descendants. / Trevor: Cool! Let's do it! / Ping: Be warned, this could be terribly dangerous! We could unleash horrors beyond imagining, as so often happens when scientists recklessly dare to play deity and venture into the realms where humans should never meddle! / Trevor: No problem. Neither one of us is human! / Ping: So we're good! / {{Scientifically, this is known as 'Turning the Chickens up to 11',}} / {{Appearances:}} {{Trevor}} {{Ping}}

And set up a pen and have food and water for them. / Ping: Then we have to figure out how we'll go about evolving dinosaurs from them, which probably means arranging a breeding program to select for desired traits. And gene manipulation. And we should document everything thoroughly. / Trevor: This sounds like it will cut into our TV-watching time. / Ping: But at the end, we'll have dinosaurs! / [[The Ghost of Dinosaurs Past eavesdrops]] / Trevor: And they WILL have laser vision, right? / Ping: Like I said: Dinosaurs! / Trevor: Awesome! / {{As long as we're done before the Fall Season starts.}} / {{Appearances:}} {{Trevor}} {{Ping}}

Number one, I have fabulous... / Eldritch: No! I mean, yes. But what I was SAYING is that there's one thing in particular I'm thinking about right now. / Helen: Tell me. / Eldritch: I won't have to watch you grow old. I've seen so many friends age and die. But you won't. / Helen: Not with regular maintenance. / Eldritch: Remind me to stock up on spare parts. / Eldritch: But it is amazing to witness how the cycle of life repeats. Children grow, become parents of children who grow up... and so on. I've tried to share with others the sense of awe I feel when I think about it all. / Eldritch: And yet, when you tell a woman that you dated her grandmother, she loses interest in going out with you. / Helen: Poor dear! That should be a KILLER pick up line. / Eldritch: I KNOW! / {{And you're not just saying that to humor me, right?}} / {{Appearances:}} {{Dr. Eldritch}} {{Helen Alloy}}
