If you thought Jim and Lorne were A Lot as adults, just wait till you see them as 10ish year olds.
I have a new Kickstarter running! This one is for a new pin set called ENDLINGS. Each pin commemorates the last member of an extinct species, and most of the stretch goals have unlocked already! Go check it out!

And this is how you can tell they’re the best of friends
Remember to keep your claws in when you’re scuffling with your friends, Jim! >;=)>
Lorne is a nemean lion – Jim is in far more danger of of getting punched through a wall than Lorne is of getting scratched.
I don’t think he’s turned yet.
Neither of them have Medallions, so odds on they’re both somewhere between 9 and 10 years old.
Could be as much as another 12 months before they get their Medallions.
Youngster Jim is adorable!~
OK, I cannot POSSIBLY be the first person to think of the ‘Monster boy in Wonderland’ joke.
Remember how Wonder Boy would knock politely on doors before entering, even the doors to the boss monster lairs? Do you think Gryphon Boy would be so polite?
Mary: I should hope so! I raised him-
Gryphon Boy Jimothy: *barges through door without knocking*
Lyon Boy Lorne: *charges in after him*
Boss monster: Wha- stop that! You little- COME BACK HERE!!
Gryphon Boy Jimothy: *exits with beakful of loot*
Lyon Boy Lorne: *exits with sword* Look at this cool sword!
Boss monster: I’M GONNA RIP- *charges into doorway, sees Mary* *choked gasp* Mary Finn! I… *slams door* *wedges stool up against it*
Mary: *glower* ……I raised you better than that, Jimothy James Finn. Now spit that treasure out – you don’t know where it’s been!

Yup, after seeing this it explains so much about those two…
It is odd to see the extremes of Jim’s Mum’s expressions… we are so used to seeing her very stern visage but there are a couple of momentary cases of smiling here that almost confuse me.
I just noticed Jim’s freckles, so cute!
If Jim’s 10 years old here, that should mean that Collin is a itty bitty babbu right now. I hope we get to see him!
Both Jim and Lorne are not yet 10, as neither has a Medallion, yet.
So as a consequence of that, it’s unlikely that Colin’s egg has been laid, much less hatched.
Jim’s 20th birthday is in 2004, in One-Eyed Bear.
Illumination is June 2005 when Colin’s 10th birthday, and getting his Medallion happens.
I thought Jim and Lorne met when Jim started school, as a human, but I may be miss-remembering.
Pretty sure Jim and Lorne met cause Paul and Jon were in school together and started hanging out.
EDIT: There is a link to the pertinent Reader Question in the comments of the last page.
Awwwww… and how cute to see Jimothy without his green coloring yet! Such an adorable pair of dorks.
He’s got some! There’s a tuft of green on his tail!
I wonder who else we’ll see in Wonderland?
Considering when this is set, Eleanor is a high probability, as is Barnaby, in addition to Antoine and Rupert.
Am I overthinking that Mary’s shopping suggests Gryphons are omnivorous or is this one of those “Magic!” answers.
Let’s see they can turn from human into gryphon and back again, we see eating leaves in the cafeteria at their school, and aw yes they have magic medallions. Nope definitely not omnivores.

You look at the page and it shows who is sitting where at the table that day.
Using that info, the last frame on the page, clockwise from upper left, ID’s like this:
Merial, Greg, Michelle, Jim.
Jim’s plate in the lower left, has salad and meat. So yes, definitely omnivore.
Thanks for the help Jeni.
Aaah! Lookit that fluffy baby Opinicus!!
Omigosh omigosh omigosh we are going to Wonderland We ARE GOING TO WONDERLAND! {starts bouncing off the ceiling in excitement}
High on sugar much? Or red bull?
We’re talking about *Wonderland*. ;-)

I was trying to be funny.
How long have these 2 known each other?
I just noticed. Is the back of Mary’s shirt missing? That is actually kind of a neat little detail that i think i missed the first 10 times seeing this. Cool!~
Nope. That’s a shirt front halter-neck top.
Most clothing for winged Mythicals employs slots in the backs for wings. But women’s fashions with halter neck tops are another alternative.
This. Is. Adorable!
