If I recall right from some things I’ve seen elsewhere there is supposed to be a third bat sibling. I’m guessing he took the bag and snuck off while Larissa and Dinah were distracted. Well regardless of who took it, I’d call that a success! Now what are Larissa and Dinah going to do?
Just gotta add: whoever took the bag has gotta be pretty stealthy to have just walked right up there, take it, and get away without being noticed at all. There’s not even a rustle from the bag and that’s impressive given that plastic bags can be noisy even when moved just a little bit.
Maybe they took it while it was being moved already? Swipe it as LaLa is moving yet distracted by, hmmm, some kid who crashed into her? Looking more and more like a deliberate crash to me…
If the street were full of people it would be fairly easy to play a random passerby, pick up the bag and disappear into the crowd, and have a good chance of not being noticed. As empty as this street seems to be, it must be much more difficult to avoid being noticed.
Second panel you can see her entire left arm and hand, empty.
Which means Larissa likely did drop it or let go when she hit the ground. Then with her and Dinah so focused on the bat siblings it was likely easy for whoever did it to sneak off with it
Yes; 3rd sibling is a cute ‘goth’ female, aged somewhere between Charon and Trixy. And, dang, I can’t remember her name.
I’m guessing that off panel last page, Nate took care of the heads
Neh, Whoever called Nate has yet to make an appearance. I think they might have been the one who snuck in.
If Nate did it himself, then the fish heads must be hidden nearby. He would have had only a minute or two to take the bag, hide it and return.
I wonder, these two bats are siblings? Can many chybrid species be born in family or just one? How does it work?
You missed an entire discussion in the comments section of the previous page.
The one you participated I presume?
No, I didn’t participate in it. I just saw it on my way down, and shared what I learned from it with someone else who missed it.
We all knew that Larissa wasn’t going to leave this encounter with her precious bag, but something doesn’t need to be a surprise to be satisfying.
Yup!
Heh heh, yep! 😜🤣
Hey, Robin. Are you interested in new character suggestion?
There’s a Patreon level where you can have a background cameo character. Some of them really hit it off with the readers
Charons a happy chap
hoping for some Ice Cream;
leaving behind someone
who’s just about to scream.
Her plans have come undone;
harming just Fish, not fowl
as she’s left by our Nate –
the cunning little Owl.
Just enjoy the day, girl,
just go and wander ‘round
Going against ‘the gang’
you will lose, pound for pound.
Yeah, I’m also done with the crazy.
I find it fun watching the crazy. As long as the crazy isn’t aimed at me, then it’s a bad thing…
Well, there’s good crazy, there’s bad crazy, there’s all the rest of the crazy in between. I prefer the good crazy, the type that doesn’t God out of its way to hurt people such as the crazy known a the Straw Hat pirates or the crazy that is the unorthodox methods of an Optimus Primal. Oh, and also the craziness of Jim Carrey, the late Robin Williams, and the like.
There’s also doctor crazy…the kind of crazy you need to survive medical school. If you’re too sane, you just snap. Any MD has to be at least a little crazy to remain effective when the stakes get high.
I had a feeling Lala would start swearing up a storm in front of a little kid. It’s a good thing Trix can recognize when the girl she’s making her baby bro apologize to isn’t worth wasting oxygen by saying sorry to a crazy and violent jerk. Nate has suddenly reappeared, despite being with Trix and Charon, he’s the closest to being Batman! He’s once again outplayed Larissa, though that shouldn’t be very difficult strategically/tactically, she’s not very bright and quick to anger at extreme levels. As the Art of War states, anger clouds the judgement of your opponent; something that applies to Lala 210%!
What !! That’s all ? I would have enjoyed Trixie punching Lala’s face ^_^”
I bet the bag has been “stolen” by one of Nate friends , maybe this one (third panel) : https://www.twindragonscomic.com/comic/witch-hunting/
Ahhhh got to love when one uses change blindness to take or dup a person that really needs to get mental help sooner rather than later. *thinks* or jail time with community service for a few months.
Fish heads, fish heads, roly-poly fish heads…
“…eat them up, yummm!”
Now that’s going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Time for fish-head soup! 😉
Nate is a smooth operator, he’ll probably found and run a Fortune 500 company in 20 years or so.
20 years nothing, it would take him half that long to get reasonably close to that type of business!
Especially forming good relationships (despite how annoying he can be) with Cleo while he’s still young. Not saying he’ll borrow money from her, just convince her and her father perhaps of the value of his ideas. Nate’s already pretty good at intelligence gathering and counter ops and those are very valuable skills for any business.
Wow she is way too worked up. Wait, none of those three are holding the fish heads bag, so who does?
Cue the white tiger hybrids named Sigfried and Roy…
Daniel here. Random thought, we know Liz rang Nate to warn him LaLa was coming to sabotage the stall, but what if she hadn’t? What if the 2 or 3 of them just showed up out of the blue? I think Nate would still be ready for them, going off the fact he didn’t act surprised at the call, and even though Liz rang during the festival, there was at least 1 person out amongst the crowd who spotted Larissa and informed Nate, almost as if they were stationed there deliberately. If so, he seems to have some loyal people in his contact lists, watching out for Larissa and Co rather than going out and enjoying the festival themselves…
While Nate might have been able to recognize Lala without intervention from Liz, having the forewarning about WHAT Lala’s trying to do increases the odds that he’ll be able to actually intervene in time to prevent it. Considering he started texting as soon as he got the call from Liz, it might be that his cohorts moved into position as the festival was starting, and they otherwise WOULD have been enjoying the festival themselves.
In which case, I really hope Lala is fully dealt with in time for Nate’s cohorts to at least grab a celebratory meal at their food truck(s) of choice.
Speculated a bit on that before we saw Liz make the call to Nate. There are a few things going on that would have already made Larissa’s plan fail pretty much before she even got there:
1. She was probably counting on being able to sneak off somewhere private first with her food and do her alterations out of sight of others. The first problem for this is that Due Dragi is serving their food on plates, so it’s out in plain sight while being served, and they are seating their patrons at tables near their truck. Both of these reasons would make it hard for Larissa to just walk off with her food without drawing some looks and if people see her food is fine as she’s leaving that may make it difficult for her claims to ring true later when she tries to ruin the food truck’s rep online.
2. Nate has his phone so another easy countermeasure is that if he’s the one that serves them he can easily take it out and snap a quick pic of them and their food before they can do anything. As savvy as he is with social media he’ll likely have the pics circulating with captions like “look at these customers with their wonderful meal” before Larissa can even have a chance to take the lid off of her jar of fish heads.
3. Let’s not forget about Cleo’s secret weapon: Clementine Lebeau! She’s already arrived at the food truck well ahead of Larissa and is even now working her own (not insubstantial) influence online making a video (possibly a live stream) about the great food she is about to have at the food truck. This video may also show off what a nice guy Marco is and his skills as a chef. If she really likes the food and is honest in her praise that will come through in her video and be a big boost for the food truck. And honestly who’s going to be believed more and receive way more attention: fashion model and celebrity with her own large following Clementine or someone most have never heard of Larissa?
Combine 2 & 3 there and Larissa is likely sunk before she can even try. Even if some believe her it likely wouldn’t outweigh Clem’s influence or further positive reviews by others who try Marco’s cooking. Any outrage she does manage to generate would likely be short lived and quickly be found out to be nothing but a fraud.
Another little thought that occurred to me this morning. Let’s call this an addition to #3. Most of the people who would know who Larissa is are likely the other students at the high school most of the cast is attending. Most of them also likely know what kind of a person Larissa is too. Add in the museum incident (I don’t believe for a second a lot of her fellow students didn’t see Larissa and Dinah being hauled off by security) and I think many of those who do know her (or of her take your pick) will figure out pretty quick this was another revenge attempt of hers.
This is assuming of course that Larissa would be dumb enough to post her pics online using her own name and not an alias, which she might be. She’s shown a remarkable tendency to not think things through so far anyways. Even if she did use an alias it might not take someone like Nate long to figure out who it really is. Like if the alias account is linked to Larissa’s email or phone number and Nate finds that out.
Charon had better not make it a habit to run into people, lest he be charged with battery.
If he would take up baseball, he’d be a baseball bat.
Bat puns.😁
cue no holds barred murderous rampage in 3…2…1…
It worries me that Larissa just might figure out that Liz ratted her out to Nate. She at first doesn’t seem to have much going on in her head that doesn’t involve getting what she wants but I bet she can still add two and two and get four. With violent rage being her default method for dealing with opposition, Larissa might end up giving Liz a black eye.
I’m sure we all are worried about that. In the spirit of Sun Tsu’s Art of War advising the use of outside factions as allies, I suggest making use of Dragons as body guards. Larissa has finally learned that a physical assault on the Romero Twins will end with her getting her butt kicked (and slashed with Twin Dragon talons if Kai and Kaya give the boot while barefoot), so Lala would have to think twice (a great challenge for her) about going after Liz. The twins would have to out smart any of Larissa’s plots, tricks, and schemes, which shouldn’t be to difficult for them intellectually (it may just insult them by not being very challenging for them), even Kaya!
Don’t believe they have talons.
If not, they have really interesting toe-nails. (They’ve been visible more than once. Not really long enough to be called “talons”, but pretty pointy looking even if a bit stubby. 😉 )

Pick-pocket level-up
What an unmitigated, festering twatwaffle.
she really needs to be carfule. fish head are a big thing in some parts of the world. like japan
I suspect that they probably prefer them a tad fresher. Not sure about China or Korea’s preferences in that regard.
Did he forget his cap?
