Well, Velvet and Gunther are in the neighborhood watch. That should make things interesting.

Although Velvet is being a little suspicious -- or should that be paranoid?

Good evening.

Ah, good, the forums are back.

This storyline is making me a bit nervous. With all the other strips that have killed characters (Gasoline Alley, Dandy & Co., Pirates of Penumbra, Fight Cast or Evade), I have the feeling that something very dark will be happening soon.

I don't think anything that bad will happen here... but just in case... I'm going to buy some flowers, and start to write up a Eulogy.

I just hope it's not necessary.

Maybe Velvet's trying to avoid hazardous dooty?

An excellent choice of words, Squeaky Bunny - icky, but excellent.

Velvet represents a very complex part of Ben's psyche. One that isn't entirely innocent of violent impulses, I think. After all, Lily is in possible danger, and Lily is the one Ben loves.

Well, I guess violent temper tantrums are childish... but I don't think that is much of the point. I think that this is all a game to Velvet for the most part... which is why he is paired with Gunther.

That and anything that makes Velvet curl into a ball can be obliterated by Gunther.
