Tuesday is surprised. There's no way it can be that late already, can it?

Damn...

Skip is totally eying the competition.
Hopefully Meander-the-host will have a better fate that that of the first guy Skip took over.
You can really tell that Zoe feels bad about what happened to Meander.

And once again, I wonder about Chaz, and the fate that befalls the hosts of the demons killed by him. Pete willing, We will know in time.....

Maybe now we'll find out what caused Chilus to be so concerned about them reaching Mohkadun. After all, she thinks Kzk isn't real...

I totally love the "bloom effect" in this strip, way to go Pete!
It does remind me of something: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_rendering

So...is Sluggy still in (roughly) real world time?

I ask because Meander was introduced in 2005.

It's 2014.

That would mean Meander would be around twenty if real world time were in effect, but she still looks the same age as when she was introduced. (Yes, I have considered that Chilus has prevented her aging process, but we don't know that for sure.)

"Don't turn green...

Darn. I don't suppose you know what sort of creature craves sugar and leaves a green spectral trail?"

"Oh man, don't tell me. That was on final Jeopardy last night!"

"Zeb, we've got a bug."

If anyone here is a new reader, you can follow the New Readers Guide on Niftypedia here.

It is much more up-to-date than the one linked from the comic page.

Wow. Leah was five years old when Meander entered the story.

Nice rendering, Pete -- and such great subtle hints of thought and motive by the characters.

I'm impressed / astonished Zoe recognized Meander, who she hasn't seen in 9 years (even if Chilus kept her from aging at all), and who she only saw (under very stressful conditions) for maybe a few hours. And she's in a very stressful situation now, and had no reason to expect Meander had anything to do with ANY of this.

Given that bugs have played a major role in both, she's probably a bit more likely to remember.

I was thinking possession killed more than just her mind, leaving her a walking corpse.

She actually does look a little older (maybe), but probably only by like a few years, tops. We also have to take into account that Zoe recognized her which is another indication that she probably hasn't aged by nine years.

When was it declared that the strip follows real world time? Not saying time doesn't pass (Year in the Life of a Villain comes to mind) but other than that type of thing, I didn't know it was equal to real time.

It's roughly equal, with some adjusting. Holidays tend to match up, for instance.
