Awkward, Zach.

Yeah, I’m not even going ask the obvious questions. Instead I’ll just ask when did Keene grow a heart and lose his mind?

Grew a heart likely thanks to Breel. As for his mind, well, I would argue that he probably didn't have it in the first place. Dude has issues.

So Cory's (Cilantro's) sister is named Cinnamon, Cassia for short? Their mom must've had a weird sense of humor.

How can I tag Rick?!? There’s only one chance for that joke and it’s the next comic

I'm not sure what you were going for, but at least we got Cory in the "next comic".

Great, now Zach has even more problems to deal with.

There’s a saying “Love makes you do terrible things.” At first I thought it really only applied to invoking dark magic but now I see that it can do worse.

So I'm assuming that Cassia is the one staring lustfully at Zach?

Okay, that one I didn't know till now. Clever stuff!

With the Skunk baby under her arm? Probably.

There's ten in the bed and the little Zach said "Roll over, roll over"...

Zach was hopeful when he got the call
from Jess, asking him to come and sleep over.
He longed for the night they lay together,
joining together, under the cover.
His face, on seeing the others, would drop
even after looking at his lady so fine.
He’d not planned to sleep with Cody
or Truck or others from Ink’s great shrine.
If Ink really wanted to celebrate the Holy
she should learn of our furry angel here;
the one to the left of Keene, I mean,
not the ones that did just appear.

Wait a minute, another miraculous conception? As in this has happened before.

Post by **Obbl** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 1:23 am

I love that Truck says 5 and holds up all 4 fingers on one hand plus 1 from her other

Thank you Rick
And I'm wondering if the miraculous conception refers to Craig and Draig... So many interesting implications that may or may not have any bearing on the story

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 1:24 am

I didn't even notice the baby skunk until it was pointed out to me. I REALLY need to stop multitasking.

Also, where was it said his sister's name was Cinnamon? I believe it but I wanna go check it out myself.

Post by **D-Rock** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 1:28 am

From Wikipedia.
Cinnamomum cassia, called Chinese cassia or Chinese cinnamon, is an evergreen tree originating in southern China, and widely cultivated there and elsewhere in southern and eastern Asia (India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam). It is one of several species of Cinnamomum used primarily for their aromatic bark, which is used as a spice. In the United States, Chinese cassia is the most common type of cinnamon used. The buds are also used as a spice, especially in India, and were once used by the ancient Romans.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 1:30 am

Ah so Rick never specifically stated that Cassia was short for Cinnamon?

Post by **D-Rock** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 1:31 am

Nope. This is her first appearance, and the only name is in the tags.

fenrirblack · Post by **fenrirblack** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 1:32 am

Am I the only one who like ”oh boy new character. Oh wait it’s Cory’s sister, never mind.”

Uh, no. Her name is Cassia. It was never stated that the name was short for anything. I don't know where you came up with this. It's wrong. And it confuses people.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 1:36 am

Called it! No.... No, I didn't.....

Actually, Champ, I was going for a cheap laugh, and Rick gave us something sweet, subtle, and a little ominous instead.

Jess, no theology at three in the morning, please....

Custom Ink is far slinkier.

I get the joke. That Cassia is a spice like Cilantro is. Just didn't need to assume that her full name was Cinnamon.

Champion Wallace · Post by **Champion Wallace** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 1:42 am

That skunk kit is on panel but doesn't have a tag (and consequently, a name)! What will we do?

That would certainly explain why Kix has not been shown to have a mortal husband.

So then, it's not "wrong" to make such a joke or even to assume that it is correct. It just hasn't been verified

The joke would have been correct if he left it as Cassia but he said her name was Cinnamon and Cassia was a nickname. THAT is what I was getting at.

Because that's how Cory's name works. His name is Cilantro and Cory is a nickname. Wallace was drawing a comparison

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 1:55 am

Oh! OK. Now that makes sense. I need to sleep before my brain explodes and need to stop worrying about cancer everywhere. >_<

Anyway back to the strip, Zach now has two siblings a brother and a sister to contend with.

leinglo · Post by **leinglo** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 2:03 am

Cassia must be really tough if she's just given birth to a whole litter, and did it so quietly that Keene didn't notice

Wow that went fast and without any problems. I guess the woodcritters are used to things like that

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 7:03 am

Something tells me Zach better hope Rufus doesn't visit again anytime soon. Custom Ink will have a field day with that one.

Also, interesting we get to see Cory having a sister with a bigger family. so much for a sneaky one-off character with little backstory =P

Rick might need a wall to hold all of these characters on someday x3

A feral family sleep-over.... How thoughtful. Cory, shouldn't you and sis be hibernating? Karishad's basement better have more rooms than a pharaoh's tomb has domestic quarters.

Jeeves is gonna have a long laundry day coming up!

CunningFox · Post by **CunningFox** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 12:07 pm

This relates to something that occurred to me recently.

Craig and Draig are the mortal incarnations of the gods responsible for the Opener-Religion, and it's implied Kitsune might be their father [even if he isn't, he's still responsible for their existence]. So Craig and Draig are the children of a god living among mortals. They could be the messiahs [or anti-messiahs] of Openerdom.

Or maybe I'm just talking nonsense.

I mean, guess it makes sense now why Kitsune is acting like their dad, he’s the closest thing to it if it was a miraculous pregnancy.
