19-07-13 A gadjillion crickets

I imagine that Dillon assumes that he can become a competent cricket-wrangler by method acting. He really isn't omnicompetent, you know; he can be a bit of an idiot at times.

As to Ruby - she's staid and old-fashioned in many ways, and possibly squeamish, but she's not girly. Or at least, she doesn't want to be. She might be disgusted by bugs, but mice? Nah, I really hope not. If she was that pathetic and silly, I'd probably give up on the strip. There's no way at all that a social loner like her could get through a full degree course if she was all silly-little-me, eek-a-mouse. She's got to have a bit of self-reliance.

That kid is a master at manipulating people.

i imagine he's just thinking 'how tough could it be?'

Or maybe he's thinking "what could possibly go wrong?"

Ah, so it won't be just the crickets getting loose then. It'll be half the other animals running/flying free, with fish flopping around on the floor in front of broken/overturned aquariums, plus the pet store will somehow catch on fire. A rather small scale disaster, but a disaster nonetheless.

As I said before, we shouldn't expect a mass cricket escape - yet alone an even larger small animal escape - in a comic where an artist also writes the script. A horde of escaping crickets would be a total bore to draw. Don't expect Giz to inflict that on herself.

not on herself maybe, but would she inflict it on shouri?

What if she used computer graphics?
