OMG, a Barby doll?!?

Barby Doll... Argh...

Thanks Squeaky. But hey guys... The girls worked on Zelda's head-quills, not her whole body!

Plenty o' sharp bits to go around, still.

Yes, I am. But barbs or not, the quills STILL had to come in contact with the balloons to pop them. And in most of the cases, thru the girls blouses regardless of cloth thickness.

So my question remains.....How did this cascade/semi-simultanious balloons-in-the-blouses "explosive decompression" occur? I doubt Zelda ran around the room flinging quills or brushing up against everybody.

The only way this works is if the girls did something REALLY dumb like a group hug with Zelda in the middle.

The panel's funny...yes...the facial expressions are perfect...but it don' make no sense!!!

Okay Sharuuk, mental exercise.
cover your head, shoulders, arms, legs and back with 5-inch needle-sharp quills (some of them stiffened with hairspray, no less!)

Now walk through a crowded room, one full of people with enormous party balloons stuffed down their shirts.

One "pop" would start a chain reaction of people yelping, jumping and bumping into each other.... and into Zelda.

That's the reason the girl's so quiet and reserved, BTW. When you're covered in quills you're constantly mincing along and apologizing for jabbing people accidentally.

>sigh< yup, boom titty boom titty boom boom boom!

Granting everything above, did all the girls bump into Zelda "balloons first"? Was she running around the room trying to keep out of the way just to run into some more balloons? In the chaos you describe, both here and in the panel, why don't some of the girls have quills stuck in their arms, legs rumps etc?

Sure.....I remember her meeting Thelma and Hortense at the door.

Whew....<puffing, panting & wheezing from all the exercise>

It's obvious what caused all those overinflated egos to go bust.


They ran into a booby trap.

Okay, okay. I think it was the only applicable pun left that hadn't been used.
Maybe Zelda decided to make the bigger girls' busts go boom because they rubber the wrong way?

edit: As for the cause of simultaneous boom-titty (wish I'd thought of that) remember the whole purpose of the exercise was to cheer up a seriously bummed out Hortense. After getting a gratuitous laugh, girls being girls, what followed was probably an automatic and unthinking group hug. Zelda, apparently, isn't a regular member of their soirees, so none of them would have thought through the repercussions (and concussions) of such a group hug with a porcupine in the middle.

Maybe it was a silly-con job?

Now THAT I'll buy. A reactional, spontaneous group hug is the only scenerio that makes sense. And your point of Zelda not being part of the usual soiree, but being included in the hug without thinking about what she is makes perfect sense. Thank you.

Personally, I think this whole line has gotten blown all out of proportion.
Admittedly, it's been a gas, but while the humor around here normally gets an A+, this thread is headed for a DD.
Just had to get that off my chest.

Oooh, he's venting!

It's as bad as the pun about Ariel wearing sea cups.

Ouch...

I mean spiked eggs...
that has to be kinda hard on the chickens, y'know...
Ouch...
I mean if they survive more than two layings I would say that those have got to be some seriously tough chickens...

Hmmm....

Hmmm. What was laid first, the chicken or the egg?
