Omigosh, that guy? I’ve been waiting so long for that guy!
Hello Phineas.
Hello Ravi.
I love how we all just looked at these two goofs, and immediately came to that same conclusion. XD
I’m guessing that’s Phineas? Before he was… red? And Ravi on his shoulder??
If that man isn’t an ancestor of Jim I’ll eat my boots!
It is.
Your boots are safe. For now.
>Comical wiping sweat off the brow gesture<
everyone has SO MUCH HAIR.
The Dark Ages, the age of FABULOUS MANES
Now now, it is TODAY that people have fabulous manes. Back then, they had EXQUISITE COIFFURES.
Finn the Red before he became ‘The Red’? I’m loving this!
Phineas, don’t you have ANY idea how too far EARLY it is in the morning?
Time to invent a watch?
The invention of viable pocket watches doesn’t happen until the mid 1670s.
In medieval Europe, cathedrals & monasteries typically used such things as sand glasses, hour candles and water clocks to keep time for their liturgical (prayer) schedules. From that reference, they would ring bells, announcing the time to the town and countryside.
I don’t remember all the names from my reading, but the eight liturgical bells were at dawn (Prime), mid-morning, noon, mid-afternoon, dusk (Vespers), mid-evening (Compline), midnight (Matens), and wee hours (Laud). For a long time, that was all the precision most people needed.
Town and church mechanical civic clocks didn’t become the standard we know them as, until the 1300’s/1400’s. That’s about 200 years after this current scene.
Gimme a head with hair, long, beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen
Gimme it down to there (HAIR!)
Shoulder length or longer!
Here, baby, there momma
EveryWHERE Daddy DADDY!
Great to hear your birthday and Halloween went so well Kory :)
Question: no alt text on the strip this week?
I’m looking at Jocasta’s long hair, and I wonder, is that where Ravi got the idea for the insta-grow extreme long hair aspect of the Finn Family Curse from?
Why am I not surprised that this guys hair looks like it will cause a singularity that will consume the earth if it were to lose it’s fluff?
Phineas’s mane is being bunched up and forwards by the hood of his cloak.
“I was about to give up and go home!”
“It’s never too late to start on your way.”
^_^
Mayhaps Wosret and Jocasta can can employ magic to forcibly send him on his way there.
“I was about to give up and go home!”
It would make everyone much happier if you did, Phin bro
Her hair is AMAZING!!
I cannot for the life of me get over how /pleased/ that bird looks. (No, not Phineas, he’s just being Phineas.)
I feel like this tells us something about how Ravi could be Phineas’ “dearest friend”. Birds of a feather…
“Damn, I should have waited another ten seconds. Now WHAT?!”
Looks like exasperated pouting is a species trait for Sphinxes.
Whilst we do not know the whole backstory, even on Patreon, this much is obvious:
Phineas is over eager and over excited, and is wearing thin the patience of Jocasta and Wosret, as it is abundantly clear that this behaviour is routine for him, to the point where they regard him as an annoyance.
Phineas is in mid-form. He must already have a medallion.
He does. It’s holding his cloak closed.
Is Ravi being portrayed as a raven here?
either that or it’s a spirit animal-character which in prior episodes was proven to exist.
I still hold to my theory that he’s a mynah. They’re native to India, and they can TALK.
‘Cept he *really* doesn’t look at all like a myna bird.
I don’t know if you saw it Kory, or any other fans who read the comments section has seen it, but apparently Jim was seen at a party at Halloween, over on the webcomic The Whiteboard… which is also not the first time a character, or a character as a costume idea, has slipped into that particular webcomic, XD
Is she combing her hair with her claws? XD
Roughly untangling bed hair.
That kind of cheery that early in the morning can only end with a muffled thump and a hastily devised alibi…
“Hey Guyz I know ur about to close but can u please make a mediallion for my totem friend here plz”

If I remember aright, Ravi is not a bird, nor even a mammal, but something else entirely.
OMG he has a teensy raven friend!
I love how Jocasta’s brushing out their hair with claws. It makes me so happy.
Oh. I can see why he and Ravi get along. Got along. I have time-lag.
Can’t we just pause the theories for a second and admire the genius of “not even close to being open for business”?
You are running quite late, me.

Oh noooooooo, that’d be awful. How /terrible/.
Suuuuuuure you were, Phineas. Sure you were.
