Re: [1544]-"Too Much Information"
Grandmas are such a vital font of wisdom, including the wisdom to know when to stop being prudish about things and just be out with it. And when to quit. The only question now is what Ping does with this new data and what effect it has on her. Advanced AI should not even be tasked with making cake for office parties. This could be the seed of Megatokyo's GladOS moment.
I also like how the big plushie thing next to them looks like it's looking at them with a smirk. I hesitate to think what the guests of the Foxhole have done to it before it was retired to the break room.

Re: [1544]-"Too Much Information"
During the drawing on Twitch we saw Fred teasing the viewers with phantom tails manifesting behind Megumi as well as the hint of ears raising. The tails are gone but the phantom ears are still visible...

Re: [1544]-"Too Much Information"
Are Megumi's fox ears popping up in that last panel?!?
Heh heh... Ping had very little clue. She probably was thinking along the lines of heavy hugging and smooching.
Granny has a look like she is 3 sheets to the wind right now.

Re: [1544]-"Too Much Information"
That’s a wise move of grandma, I think. She rightly guessed the background of the misunderstanding between Megumi and Ping, and now freaks out Ping deliberately (and her granddaughter — with two D’s ) — to just give Ping every reason to withdraw out of her own free will.
I wonder how this will play out, but that’s the intention I tend to read in grandma’s communication.
Nicely done!
Now off to check on the phantom fox ears and the plushy thing…
Thanks for the nice update, Fred!!! And, @everybody:
Have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed 2019!
=)

Re: [1544]-"Too Much Information"
The way Ping curls up on the sofa in panel 6 heh.
I am guessing she's more like a real 3d girl with every grandmama's word
What's the plushie (?) naval mine next to the plushie ghost? Or is that a morgenstern flail...? Oh i can see a chain indeed. So, flail References anyone
Awesome page thank you Fred.

Re: [1544]-"Too Much Information"
Oh, good lord, Ping definitely acts like the young teen that's just now being corrupted (and is embarrassed in the process). Yes, Ping, you just bit off more than you can chew. Nervous? You should be.
EDIT: I wonder how Piro's going to react when he finds out that the grandmother just corrupted Ping.

I think she’ll re-engage the Embarrassment Subroutines — with a twist. =)

Re: [1544]-"Too Much Information"
That expression in Panel 5. Grandma looks like she is remembering things she’s told others, over the years; sad and bittersweet but necessary. This strip was some of Freds best face/emo work; even in the no-text Patreon strip you could pretty much tell what was being said...
Merry Christmas all, and thanks Fred for a great year of story.

Re: [1544]-"Too Much Information"
The plushie's eyes definitely moved -- compare the current strip (1544) against the previous one (1543).BetaCygnus wrote: ↑Mon Dec 24, 2018 3:39 amNow off to check on the phantom fox ears and the plushy thing…
We've had inhuman characters (e.g., Ed) in Megatokyo, but nonhuman ones (besides Boo and Seraphim, and the CEA crew)....?
As for ears on Megumi, I think they're real -- her hair in 1544.6 (an "aerial shot" from the rear) does not "lie" in such a way as to allow for "ridges" or "waves" to appear as ears from the front.

Did Grandma just give Ping an alchoholic beverage?

Poor Ping.
Hope everybody had a nice holiday.

So...is Fred just messing with us or does Megumi actually have hidden fox ears?

Doesn't alcohol have some sizable calories content? 7 calories per gram. If anything she'll not need extra charging tonite.

Re: [1544]-"Too Much Information"
Pure speculation, there was some discussion about Megumi's lineage in which some readers had the position that she and her maternal line were not in fact Sawatari but "normies" who were covered by the clan under the umbrella of being support or dependantszumHueriger wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 9:30 pmNot just the ears...the whole face (eyes especially) is about to go full kitsune...Invisigoth wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 8:15 pmFred mess with the readers?????

By showing Megumi as positively feral he can demonstrate that her maternal line is simply tailless (or something), not manifesting kitsune traits
Or, he's just messing with us
Re: [1544]-"Too Much Information"
Well as for the weird plushie, while Fred was drawing I asked about it and he said that it was a physical manifestation of the Kitsune curse.
Poor Ping looks like she is about to blow a fuse due to all the information given to her by Grandma. It almost reminds me of Norman in the Star Trek episode I Mudd when he goes into overload.

Let's see, Piro is making love to one of the hottest new upcoming Idols at this very moment in comic time. He has one of the arguably most desirable women in the MegaTokyo universe broken hearted and desiring him and wanting to talk to him about "stuff", well if she didn't get distracted by one of Fred's awesome grandmothers and a ninja clan abusing a young lady that she feels protective of...Okashinamaru wrote: ↑Sat Jan 05, 2019 11:16 amSo when do we get to the part where Piro gives up and kills himself?
