Monday has an axe and it's not afraid to use it!

If the trees don't shut up with all their whispering, I'm going to make them be quiet. Oakey! I hear you plotting over there! You'll be first if you don't pipe down right this instance!

Um, where was I? Oh right. Tree murder...

Now you sound like Durkon from Order of the Stick.

As for today's trip, my thoughts:
- We never did get an answer to Bun-bun's question of where Oasis keeps her knives
- It's nice to see Oasis in that elegant outfit but I suppose she really is overdressed for a fight
- Kitty likely is underestimating Oasis but the reverse might also be true (umm, is thus considered spec?)
- No doubt Pete has a few surprises is store for this week and I can't wait to see what happens next

Just a reminder Oasis is a pyrokinetic. She's never completely unarmed.

I think Kitty is underestimating her opponent. Just a little.

I get the impression that the toilet ninja is a little less dangerous.

For instance, his new nickname is "toilet ninja".

I'm just happy to see that this fight isn't going to be just another Oasis curb-stomp - Kitten Stranglir isn't dead yet like the Indahed boys are. I guess we're going to see how much banter this version of Oasis uses, and if so, whether she's gotten any good at it yet.

"I scrutinize you" is a good start... we'll see if she keeps it up in mid-air. But so far Kitty is out-bantering her.

Kitty is definitely underestimating Oasis, because considering she doesn't know who she is - and she doesn't seem to - there are at least two relevant things we know about Oasis that Kitty doesn't know. She may be underestimating other things about Oasis as well though, including considerable physical strength that belies her size.

Well, we have seen Oasis fight, so saying that Kitty is underestimating her is not really that debatable I think. Kitty thinks that because she is so freakishly strong, that this is not really a fight she has to worry about since she has probably easily won every time.

Yeah that one did have some grudge against trees or something... Reminds me that I need to get back to reading the rest. I checked and I'm only up to strip 388. I'm a bit behind.

Yes, just a bit. But you do have some important tree murder to deal with. (Idea: buy Oots in hardcover. More dead trees!) It's like Jack Handy used to say: "Would we cut down trees if they could scream? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no reason." :torg:

I think Kitten's biggest advantage here is that she's Mr. Needles' second in command. Traditionally, those have some plot shielding to keep them alive a bit longer than your average mook. And Mook lasted for several strips.
