Zach is so relatable in this strip. I can't ice skate AT ALL. I was like the only kid in my class who didn't ice skate.

Is it Kari or Jess that give the ER discount, I can see arguments for either one.

Ha-a-appy New y-y-year,
From Kari, Jessica andAHG! Zach!
So-sometimes I w-walk! Into the future,
sometimes it kn-knocks me back!
It’s easy to… to lose control
to fall down in pursuit of the win
but s-sometimes our o..only goal
s-should be a place safe to be-begin!
He pushed Zach out, Kari did,
just to...to be contrary
He pushed him and out his feet slid
as Kari used him l-like a Canary
Now he’ll move on Zach’s Sweet
as the Rabbit dices with Ice.
Will our Friendly Fox face de-defeat?
P...probably. Jess won’t look at him twice.... WH-WHOA! {Thunk}

Of course they do. Zach gave Jess her scarf the first time they met.

"Ice-Flailing?" .... Karishad really has a genius for warped insight. Happy New year all.

Jessica because she sends people there, Karishad because he probably treats it like an amusement park ride. “Again! Again! Again!”

Eheh, nice way to open the new year with the adorable puns fox. :D Actually, Karishad is right, it's enough look at Zack. :P Anyway, I'm sure Jessica isn't the kind for such things, it's useless to ask. ;) Oh, that's a great deal about the vet, which is better to avoid to use. :P

Happy New Year everyone. Any one else have trouble knowing exactly what color Zach’s fur is supposed to be? It was pink for a while, then lavender, but now that it’s just grey I’m wondering if my eyes were playing lighting tricks on me.

Also dang is Karishad a bright orange in this strip. Suitable as he is a beam of radiance for all that see him.

Well, the art-style changed over time so did the colors, but I don't remember it being pink.

When you compare with the first strip of Flip that Den you can see that Jess' colors are brighter aswell. If it was intentional, it was because the snow reflects a part of the sunlight and makes everything brighter.

Zach is gray with a hint of lavender. The seemingly shifting colors are partially due to art shifi over the years, and partially Rick actually bothering to adjust the color palette to suit different lighting conditions.
Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

He seemed pretty pink in the first few strips...

I guess you could call that "lavender" but I think of lavender as more a light purple.

http://www.color-hex.com/palettes/17359.png is supposed to be lavenders and I guess the first is a darker version of Zach's fur, but that seems more pink to me.

True, but isn’t it snowing in that strip too?

Anybody else bummed out that this Strip wasn't New Year's themed? Or, are these one-offs just happening simultaneously with the current story?
