Hope the con was a blast Kory! :)
I’m looking at this page and wondering, was it an effect of the unpredictable magic in the woods, why Jim had that very sudden height increase when he turned 13?
Jim confirmed it was a part of the curse back in Orientations: https://www.skindeepcomic.com/archive/issue-four-page-32/
“It’s part of a family curse or something that crops up every once in a while. I grew two feet taller and three feet of hair overnight on my 16th birthday.”
Thanks Chaos, I’d mis-remembered when it happened to Jim.
:)
No Jimmy Nooooo!!
Well, you know, the Alice In Wonderland series hasn’t had a sequel in a while….
Just saying. XD
And thus began the fateful journey which ended with Lorne spending the next year as a goat.
If something even remotely close to this happens, i’m gonna flip out.
Mr. “Gunner” Chekhov would like to point out that the adult Rupert *somehow* acquired a human-phobia …….
Doesn’t adult Rupert have an everything-phobia?
Almost everything, PJ.
I think the only thing which doesn’t spook Rupert is Pokemon.

Tiny Rupert is so adorable
This is going to be a PSA about the dangers of playing near wild magic, isn’t it? One of those notorious UK ones. Bracing for the inevitable *KERZAP* “JIMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY”.
Man, Jimmy was kind of a brat when he was little. Good to see things changed…
Get ready for the bugbear attack. It’s going to be a SCREAM!!!!
Mmmmh…
I wonder if the fork on the path shifting positions between the fifth and the last panel is a Wonderland common occurence ;)
They probably just took a couple of steps between-frames
Dem beans.
Yeah, I’m with Lorne and Rupert on this one. I’m getting a bad feeling about this.
To some people, “Exciting” means fun. New things, new experiences, an exhilarating loss of control over the situation.
For others, “Exciting” means bad times. Strange things, unexpected experiences, a terrifying loss of control over the situation.
You just reminded me of an exchange in an episode of “Dragons: The Nine Realms” (a modern-day sequel to the “How to Train Your Dragon” movies and cartoon series). It’s in S3E4:
Tom: Anybody up for a game of keep-away?
Alex: See, that /sounds/ fun, but it’s going to be really dangerous.
Jun: Danger can be fun.
Alex: Listen to yourself.
Man, I just want to pick up Rupert and snuggle him. So much feather fluff *_*
Twist: this is an alternate universe, and Jimmy is actually about to get himself, his friend, and his relative magically murdered.
…Sooo are those red poppy flowers? Methinks they may be a sign….
Just noticed something about 9 year old Lorne.
As a 9 year old, he has more of a mane of hair, for the size of his head, than he does in mid form or human form in the present day of the comic.
Ray Bradbury’s ‘A Sound Of Blundering Into Trouble’.
I feel like the kids who’s “read lots of books” might have a sense for just how bad disregarding instructions in a fairy-tale like situation is. :P
The one who loved reading was Lorne. He’d read both Alice in Wonderland, and Through The Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, and REMEMBERED what was in both.
And yeah, Lorne should be the one to realise that it’s breaking the rules that causes Stories. Unfortunately, Jim just wants to be able to show off to Lorne, and Rupert is getting in the way of a chance to do that.
Sometimes it pays off to forget about checking the comics you’re reading for months, come back checking in to find the hiatus has ended~ In all honesty I’m just a little scatterbrained about checking stuff sometimes… :l
It’s amazing he actually survived to adulthood.
