Ravi jeezey petes STOP with that.
Do you like tabletop roleplaying? Do you like 5e? Do you like 1980/90s neon aesthetic vaporwave nightmare monsters? Well I got a Kickstarter for you! 
It’s a 5e bestiary! I’m in it! I think you’ll like the critter I made for this, as well as everybody else’s amazing contributions! There’s only a week left to snag it!

Just a poke and things grow. I wonder if Jim had a natural affinity for keeping house plants alive when he was younger
Colin’s mane is gonna be fairly easy to cut then, no hair bits on the floor
And if they’ve yet to discover the Avatar series I think both Colon and Jim will love it to bits
I guess as long as you cut Colin’s hair in a bathtub or someplace you don’t mind getting wet. Maybe a pool.
Also, in storyline the Avatar just started airing the same year, it’s actually kinda fitting.
And as long as you don’t mind the everlasting torment of the effort being wasted as it grows back a few moments later… lol
Forgot for a sec… of course now I realise Ravi’s “clever” touch led to Finns with the gift having permanently long, conspicuous, unnatrually colored manes _that carry over into human form._
Perhaps he should’ve thought that one through a bit…
To be fair, Phineas’ was red, it wasn’t nearly as obvious as Jim or Colin’s.
I’m guessing that like Jim’s hair, Colin’s will always grow back instantly. I remember Jim saying that his hair didn’t become the length it currently is until he hit puberty, (age 16 if I recall correctly), which also came with a growth spurt.
Lets just hope colin does’nt get any clever ideas and tries to learn and master BLOODBENDING!
Remember kids, never run your mouth with scissors.
Now I’m worried about Colin getting dehydrated from trying to use too much of his hair for magic.
I don’t think it uses his body’s natural water for his hair.
I’d bet it draws it from the humidity surrounding him, me. I love the tight curl structure of Colin’s hair– adorable! Man, THAT’LL be gorgeous when it grows long!
I am wondering if the guardianship/abilities always go to males in the family line; so far there are three examples shown, and all three are male. ???
There were four; Phineas, his daughter, and these two boys.
So honestly he may have meant for only one guardian but it wasn’t perfect.
It’s magic. It doesn’t draw on his body any more than Jimothy’s hair growing. Conservation of mass is one of your physics things, not necessarily a magic thing.
Colin (in shower, later): … Dreadlocks! … Mohican! … Afro! … Spikes! … Emo fringe covering one eye! … Long, girly plait! …. nnnnnn… cornrows! … No. 1 cut with… “COOL FINN” shaved in the back! … Floor length, extra big! *wraps hair around himself* Heee! *turns shower off, banishes extraneous water* Who needs a towel? Or clothes? *marches proudly out of bathroom, entirely enveloped in his own hair, straight past Mary*
Mary: …–~~~~ I am going to kill that Ravi. *stalks away muttering*
>:=)>
Well they’re awfully lucky that neither of them got ginger hair…
Wonder if you’d have to cut that while holding it up, to avoid rest the mane going up in smoke too.
Alsoalso they probably will have some secondary way of utilising the mane, ‘cose having to snip every time you need your element, seems a tad inconvenient. Always need to carry scissors with you…
Ginger Hair.
Cut their hair and there’s a 50/50 shot of it being cinnamony, or red hot peppery.
That’s kinda why Jim had a flickknife, even if he didn’t realise it at the time
Quick! One of you grab the scissors and cut Ravi’s hair!
Which one?
All of them. Remind him about personal space by violating HIS.
Of course he’ll either like it (shudder) or he’ll do something violently magical to you (shudder again) but he won’t notice that it was an attempt to make a point about HIS behavior … because he still doesn’t think of them as separate beings who have their own motivations outside of his.
I guess this explains why the curse skipped Tobias. Only for maned gryphons?
Probably. I wonder if that will make Tobias feel even worse about the fact he isn’t a maned gryphon?
he’d feel even more left out
Never mind that it also skipped their father, and their older brother, and some generations of Finns to begin with. Remember, it’s been centuries since the ‘curse’ manifested itself.
The “curse” skipped some generations, as Ravi wasn’t near…
But Tobias is third born, Jim is second. So Ravi was already back when Tobias was born. Or hatched. Or whatever.
Would someone take away those scissors before he hurts someone.
The fourth frame is delightful. I guess this is the very first time Jim’s connected with his gift?
Again, Ravi is not a creature of this world. All Jim’s moaning fly past Ravi as utterly unimportant. Which is probably upsetting Jim even more…
So if we base power on hair color who would have what.
List your hair color below then what power of nature that would be.
My hair color is brown so I guess my power is Earth?
My hair color is black and white so my power is manifesting cookies and cream icecream at my whim and desire!
Right! Cut it and you’re holding a bunch of dirt. Not sure what that gets you.
Ok first powers of nature not powers of yummy foods, second Earth is more then dirt. Cut my hair and you would more likely get rocks and stuff.
Dark brown, but going gray at the temples… Diamond ore! :D
Dark brown with red highlights. Volcano? Eeek!
Same here, though it’s graying at the sides.
I currently have green hair, so I guess I have plants too!
Hey, you never said it had to be my *natural* hair color.
To true. I will let it slide anybody else?
oh my gosh colin’s little ringlets are precious!
**grin** One thing I *really love* about the whole humongous-mane idea is how similar it is to old-school Japanese manga/anime indications of power– look at Ushio & Tora (one of my favorites) or any of the <Dragonball series! You have (or gain) innate powers, and then whoosh! LOTS OF HAIR!
What about inuyasha if I am spelling that correctly.
Exactly! (And you did.)
Thanks mate.
Is Ravi going bald? I remember at the beginning he had more hair than he has now. And why is he just now losing it?
Karma for abandoning the Finns
Oh man I didn’t even realize… not only that but he looks older, too. I wonder if this is what happens to his physical body when he spends too much time meddling in the real world? Maybe there was a reason besides his family getting annoyed at him that he had to hibernate so long.
I love Jim’s look as he pokes the hair and ends up with a handful of plants. Fur puffed up, wide eyed, the perfect “what the heck happened here” look.
(got my books! yeah!)
I love Colins super cutly hair but why are his eyebrows brown? Jims eyebrows are green
Actually, as different as it appears from pouty Jim in the other panels, I think that’s almost a ‘Ooooooh! Did I do dat?!’ expression. :)
At least that’s how I read it, especially after we’ve just had him harp about how he can’t do magic.
Everybody’s concerned about Ravi and hair, and here I am obsessing over the fabulous Muscle-Faerie.
Dagnabbit, I don’t have money for another kickstarter right now! I want to know the stats of a Muscle-Faerie! So fierce!
Yes Ravi, terrify the child. The one child who likes you. Just keep swinging those scissors at people’s eyes. This plan cannot possibly fail.
Psst! Korrrry… draw a group of gryphons based on the Planeteers!
If Jim can control what he’s growing, I bet he grows Poison Ivy around Ravi.
So, if the cut off hair can turn into its element…when Phineas first got a haircut, the barber’s shop burned down?
Assuming he lived in a period where they had barbers, that is.
Assuming the Finns home in the Avalon is a townhouse rather than an apartment, I imagine Jimothy and Colin together will be able to do impressive things with the obligatory roof garden. And what sort of “topiaries” might Jimothy create?
Huh…I honestly didn’t expect all of them to work that way, but he’s right, that’s a very good idea on his part. I think I see why he was so darn proud of his work, it’s really an amazing piece of magic all around.
Must have been very upsetting, after breaking major rules and getting censured for centuries to create this magical wonder, to find out it all went up in smoke the moment he left the continent. Ahem.
HEY – the carving of Phineas has the correct expression! There’s that innocent baby grin. I’d have expected the statue to conform more to notions of heroics than to reality. I guess it was made by people who really knew and loved him for who he was.
Also – see Jim, you CAN do it…once you stop sulking.
