Manticores being unimpressed by bugbear antics seems to be a species-wide trait, if two-and-a-half manticores is a big enough population sample to say such a thing.

Honestly, bugbears NEED manticores. Just so that they have a reason to *improve* their antics.
Oh mood Eleanor. Eavesdropping to the point of just watching the show.
Alec making that red aura just for dramatic effect, he does just live for the bit
Sorry, this was meant to be a separate comment :v
Nothin worse than a bored Alec
True. Certainly almost as bad as a bored 5-year old with a pair of scissors and a Sharpie.
Punch-the-air moment for Ike there.
you could turn it into an argument : “nothing worse than bored bugbear, and yet avalons all tolerate them.
Thus, since law abiding manticore are something and they are not bored bugbears, they they should be welcomed”
Ooooh who’s Eleanor’s friend!!
Is it a certain jubjub bird in human form?
The best glimpse we had of Eleanor’s table-mate was back on page 13. It looked like he’s a human newby. Maybe we’ll actually get to meet him later.
Unlike the manticores, Eleanor and the newby appear to be properly spooked by Alec’s act.
I’m just saying, we’ve never seen humanform Rupert, and seeing as they are usually together, odds are high that it is Rupert
The Manticores: Who the hell is this punk
Eleanor listening in on that monster speech??~
Eleanor spotted! Hi Eleanor!
These guys are getting all sorts of attention, hmm? Greg in the last page, Eleanor this time. What’s it mean?
Well, it’s 100% of all known manticores.
I can only hope one day to achieve even half the unimpressed attitude of Statler and Waldorf in that middle panel. That’s some Olympic level indifference going on there.
they are used to institutional bullying, compared to that the creepy invasion of personal space is nothing.
They are probably more upset by the fact that someone like that is under no restriction, whereas they have to self mutilate for the privilege of breathing
Why is Alec having that done to him in the fifth panel so cute? The muffled noise helps, but it just does something… like that image of someone honking a lion’s nose.
Hopefully any bugbear retribution won’t be too much trouble for Ike
Meanwhile, the Manticores are wondering if bored bugbear tastes any different than regular bugbear
Maybe they’re just puzzled by whatever is going on with Alec’s facial hair. “Is that a…*side mustache*?”
If Alec were fully in human form, it looks like he might have a Badinoff mustache that he’s added a goatee to, making it technically a Vandyke.
