A museum is an odd place,
for something new to be born;
to enter in a mood so happy
and seek the exit looking forlorn.
Exposing the truth she lied,
getting into the worst of ways;
letting little Cleo be abused
as ‘she’s happy if she pays’.
Like Cleo, Lizzie wanted friends,
a fact that evil Larissa abused;
Now her past is open to see
and, like us, Lizzie is NOT amused.
Darn it. Hadn’t spotted the repeat of ‘abused’.

No smile from Cleo here , and i doubt that hat is more expensive than the dress : https://www.twindragonscomic.com/comic/kaya-in-the-shadows/ ……………..
By then it had become the norm. And we don’t know if Lizzie bought that dress (Which looks nicer than the hat). They’re just trying stuff on in that panel but Cleo’s ready to pay.
But she has a bag : https://www.twindragonscomic.com/comic/engaging-target/
Unless she’s wearing (as a sort of slave) what her two friends have “bought” ?
But she IS smiling here – https://www.twindragonscomic.com/comic/freebies/
Somewhere, down the line, Lizzie didn’t notice Cleo stopped. She may not have really noticed her own involvement in making that happen either.
Cleo didn’t smile much in that chapter. By that time, she wasn’t very happy about it.
Well she’s beginning to realize just a bit here now. Let’s hope the walk goes well and she does calm down and start to think things over.
Yeah, Nate got through to her a bit. Now she needs to let it sink in.
I’m glad Nate isn’t going easy on her now. Her excuse worked for when she was a kid but she is clearly smart enough to know something smelled fishy in Topeka. I think Nate is doing all the right things here to help her out of a bad situation and help her see what she probably already knew but was lying to herself about.
This is the comment I was looking for! If you hadn’t said it, I would have. 🙂
Yup, she just needs a bit more encouragement along these lines and perhaps later she can approach Cleo, apologize, and try to start over.
Yeah, Lizzy is smart, but being smart isn’t always enough to recognize a situation. Good thing Nate is pushing the right buttons :p
Nate had a future as a behavioural therapist. It’s easy to point out someone else’s faults, but he got Lizzie to point them out herself. That’s almost as good as admitting her problems!
Oh yeah, Nate would be pretty well suited for it :p
A question : already three strips where Lizzy is screaming , why this hasn’t attracted yet the twins and theirs friends ?
Possible answer: they were already across a room when Larissa was just about to throw the ball and maybe in the time since Nate intervened they’ve moved even further away. Another thing is just how much did Lizzy raise her voice. It doesn’t seem like it’s full voice, as loud as she can shouting she’s doing at Nate so maybe she just wasn’t loud enough for Kaya & company to hear her.
It’s not full on screaming and the twins and the gang already moved when security came around. As to where they moved to, we will see next week :p
Let me give you advice

For those who can’t read binary, this message has been conveniently translated to Dovahzul.
“Ruth hin Fahdon.”
yup, yup, definitely (doesn’t read binary xD )
Still shipping Nate x Liz, yup.
Niz?
Late
I’m not stopping you, but I’m neither confirming nor denying :p
That doesn’t quite explain why things continued as long as they did, other than Cleo basically painting herself into a corner during those early days.
My guess would be the same reason Cleo didn’t break things off. They kind of got stuck in a kind of loop. To affraid to break the status quo. Thus the need for the introduction of an outside element to break the cycle.
habit is a strong thing and not always easy to break.
Well boys, Krys and Stargate seem to have written up our lab report for us. Quite nicely too. Too nicely… Robin must have hired professionals! Oh well. This is now their study. It seems we’ve started a psychoanalytical trend. And by we, I mean I 100% dragged you into this but that’s good enough for me! It will be interesting to continue observing this exchange. Keep up the good work as always Robin, and don’t forget to stay awesome!
Thanks Alpha ^^ Good to see you’re little study is working out xD
This is my study :
Lizzy : “- I was eight , Cleo was smiling ; all was seeming good ……………. I’m fourteen , Cleo is very happy with her new friends and my two ones are jailed : all is crumbling”
I like how Nate’s glasses are *not* changing shape to match his expressions; yet, we can see what his expressions are in spite of that.
I ship Niz, by the way.
I too ship Late.
Well if you’d just get out of bed on time… 😉
shape changing glasses just aren’t his style xD
I hope Liz feels better soon. I hate seeing people in tears. But that’s just my emotional self talking. I hope she’ll be forgiven and become part of the fun crew.
I get you, but this part is necessary for her.
Yeah, as I though, just lack of understanding, partially due to the fact that Cleo never complained. Liz would probably have stopped asking if she did. Larissa And Dinah Though…
There was a scene where Liz was trying on a dress, when Kaya was spying on them, but there’s no guarantee that Cleo actually padi for that, or if it was purchased at all. Both Dinah and Liz were quite during the Snakeoil chapter.
Does make me wonder how much of Liz’s character was planned out then. Was she always intended to have a heel face turn? Or is that a recent development?
When I was designing Liz, I didn’t have this scene in mind like this, but I knew early on that I wanted this character development for her.
Not everything is all planned out at all times, but I knew this one :p
The tears make Lizzie look so pale.
Does she live in a sort of Pale Shelter?
(Yes, an another music reference…)
I was talking about this song
Sorry, I failed to show the video… It’s this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_kN_DJQJ3U
I wouldn’t have gotten the reference xD
Suprise reveal later in the comic: Nate is a hybrid, but only his eyes are different from a human. (jk)
And his hair, which he passed off as dyed.
Hmm… I don’t remember if it’s been asked… Do all hybrids have a similar amount of hybridness, or are there different degrees of change?
There are different degrees. Like the difference between Cleo and Rex in how much they look like their animal part.
Nah, Nate is human :p
Confirmed that McThunderpants is a Smooth Criminal.
Boy has game…:)
NOOOOOO WHY DID I HAVE TO GET CAUGHT UP?!? D: D: D:
