How is this the FIRST time Kaya has pounced on Cleo as she arrived at school? She should NOT be so confused at Alex’s warning.
Also, yes, that IS the right time to bill someone. Not without warning after you provide them a service they didn’t ask for, but after you provide them a service they DID ask for, when they know full well they need to compensate you for it.
That’s a thought – did Thunderpants ever actually tell Cleo what the “bat related services” were? That he got 3 Bat Hybrid kids to swindle & switcheroo her previous “friends” to prevent them from sabotaging the food truck? Cause I don’t think he did, and if she actually knew she may be a lot more forgiving. Maybe the odd little joke here or there, tho…
OK, maybe he DID tell her, I don’t know, I’m still figuring you Humans out…
If Nate did tell her it has not been shown in comic yet. So odds are no: Nate has not told Cleo what those security related services were for. He might later if something arises that calls for him to explain what that was about; or perhaps Rex might explain it to Cleo as Nate told Rex what he was doing.
INCOMING!!!!!!
Cleo knows how to handle Nate
when she sees him asking.
Getting to school and sending funds?
She’s in to multi-tasking.
She’s not forgotten his cunning plan
and she wants to get him back.
Making him pay off the debt
will keep his mind on track.
The missile from right of screen
will land in three… two… one…
Kaya re-enters her own strip…
The REAL countdown has begun!
POUNCALITY
I do wonder, how many people has Kaya pounced while in Hybrid City?
I am guessing it’d be somewhere in the triple digits lol
Only the triple digits? She’s probably going to go for the quadruple digits!
Kai and Kaya: “Triple digits?!”
Kaya: *Cheerful and with a fire in her eyes (someone get the fire extinguisher)* “I can do better than that! Let’s go for the quadloopul digits!”
Kai: *Pale and sweating in exasperation* “You mean quadruple digits…”
Uh oh, looks I might be right on this one. Everybody run for your lives!
Oh no, it has learned to how to fly! o.O
My god, she’s like a Bagon! Everybody run!
…Do we know what “Snake-Related Services” is refering to? I feel like that should be something we know about…
A large-scale business?
Nate billed her for “bat related services” on the last page of dinner dash.
…How did I forget that?
Found it 😛

Strangling people who aggravate her? Poisoning Nate with her bite and leaving him sick for a few days? Chewing him out via partially swallowing his head and biting down?
Nate is lucky caller number 3! It makes sense, Jin is only 10 and he probably doesn’t own a cell phone, plus I don’t think Cleo has his home phone number. I see Cleo is still miffed about the hidden fees she got for covert security. Hopefully Nate won’t have to provide it again for the party, covert or otherwise and not just because his money’s gonna burn! It looks like we’ve gone another week/page without seeing hair nor scaly hide of the Twins, I guess this is week 10… Wait, a last minute (re)entry by Kaya? Hooray! Hopefully the Twins didn’t hear anything about the party with their big ol’ ears! It seems Cleo didn’t think fast enough about Alex’s warning, maybe she’s still not fully awake? Luckily for her, Dragon Space Program impacts only harm you with bruises and fractures, they don’t explode… Probably. Who can tell with Kaya and Dragons?
That looks like it could be, painful, in a few seconds…
Kaya’s hand gesture makes me think she’s about to go for the diamond cutter.
That move could possibly hurt a Turtle Hybrid through their shell, and the shell itself!
*Watches video about the “diamond cutter” wrestling move*
Naaa, that’s just a diving tackle. With a lot of speed & strength behind it. And with a car door behind Cleo…
Hmmm…
…I think a young lady is about to get some broken ribs at least…
Oh, Kaya… always going for an enthusiastic greeting.
Oh Cleo… You should expect an enthusiastic greeting at all times at this point.
Those two will never change (at least I hope not)!
The joy in Kaya’s face… so cute x3
Heh payback for the end of the festival! Best remember Cleo don’t forget these things! And of course what’s a proper Kaya greeting without a flying hug/tackle!
Only the President can authorize the launch of a Kaya missile.
Well, called that wrong.
Also, Title text: I think “Alex’s” would look better without the “s”.
Lastly, I’ve recently learned that bats can’t see purple, so does Nate look bald to the Hamiltons?
No, colour blindness doesn’t work like this: https://youtu.be/QW3q-4AqeMQ
They’d probably just see red hair, or if it’s truly indigo (and not the psudo-colour that you get from mixing red and blue light) they’d still see his hair in a black and white kind of way.
…that’s assuming they didn’t get their colour vision from their human parents.
World Guide: There should be commas at the ends of “Hospital” and “senses”. Also, the comma at the end of “reasons” should be a period.
We call this the Kaya difficulty tweak
Who knew that she’d double as a cloaker from PD2
Beware , Cleo : you’re in a “dive bombing dragon” area XD
Everywhere is a “Divebombing Dragon area” when Kaya’s around.
sneks be snekkng
Draggins be dragging.
It’s nice that Cleo sees Alex as somewhat of a friend, instead of a “butler do this cause it’s your job” situation.
Also something I noticed. In another page a while back, Cleo was leaving for school and waving goodbye to Alex, but in this one he’s the driver? Weird.
That could perhaps be explained if it has been decided that Cleo should stop going to school alone. Maybe somebody calculated a heightened risk of kidnapping, or they might fear an attack from Larissa.
However, what little could be seen of the house then looked rather different from how it looks now, with more brick and less glass.
A different entrance? Rear/delivery entrance? Getting picked up by the regular driver, but it’s their day off today? Or their sick? Or Alex the Butler had to stay & deal with…. butlery things?
*Goes back a few pages*
Can’t see the entrance this time, so can’t tell if it’s the front door, but since it isn’t too fancy in “Back Seat Calling”, I’d say service type door…
Do you call that a Kaya missile or Kaya bomb?
It’s only a “bomb” if it misses the joke.” 😉
There’s something ‘Precocious’ about Kaya in this one, isn’t there, Ed? (Thinking of Autumn and Uncle Mike. Both times.)
In the years since Chrispy’s wretched health caught up with him, I’ve come up with a couple of arcs.
It’s the long, red hair! 🙂

And, after he’s managed to annoy Autumn and Jacob, the reprise.
http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2011/05/17
I like the change in Autumn’s expression between the two strips. 😉
I know they are stronger than most, but it looks like she’s jumping from a ladder.
.
Daniel here. Far as I can tell, the Twins seem to be about twice as strong as they would normally be for their weight & age. So that’s the strength of 2 people…. but with the body weight of 1. We’ve already seen 14 year old Kai dunk a 10 foot basketball hoop, and Kaya is the more energetic of the 2. Definitely sensing a “forgot her own crazy strength” feeling about this moment…
I just hope Kaya doesn’t harm Cleo OR the CAR DOOR too much on impact…
Kaya is gonna bruise Cleo at the least, judging from her angle of trajectory I’d say she’s barely gonna miss the car, barring any rolling. There’s a high likelihood of Kaya embarrassing Cleo by accident, Cleo probably wishes she didn’t wear a skirt today…
Cleo, you should probably be figuring out what to do at the party yourself, not delegating it.
She asked him to make her a list, asking someone is not wrong, she will make the party itself by herself with the items and services on the list.
And “figuring out yourself” could also mean “google it” which is asking just someone for that list again.
Nothing can prepare you for a Kaya hug, especially one out of your blind spot.
So….. Kaya, you are able to breathe fire, shown enhanced strength, and likely are tougher then most buildings…
Don’t pounce on mortals plz. It’s rude.
All tests show successful. Chocolate-I you are cleared for launch. A joy to read as always Robin, although I do agree it’s almost surprising that Cleo isn’t used to Kaya’s pounces by now. xD I’m curious to see just what the snake has in store for the gang. Nate included. Regardless of what the plan is or what may go awry with it however, it’s shaping up to be quite the party with plenty of good friends around. Reading this comic is always such a nice, fleeting freedom from all the stresses of the real world. Keep up the good work, and as always, stay awesome!
A good joke should have been Nat near Cleo’s car in the first panel , in place of an “unknown” one : Robin has missed something ^_^”
Ok, so they’re not going for the kneecaps. But I didn’t hear Cleo deny they are gorillas.
She’s gonna get a concussion
Dragon pounce dragon pounce it’s time for another dragon pounce.
Also I’m starting to wonder is clear poisonous not poisonous venomous.
I was not expecting to be reminded of calvin and hobbes here.
We ALL heard that
