I can see Jessica threatening to eat Zach. And Zach introducing her to his "brothers". A cat and a Pit Bull.

I pray that our beloved new possum, Jessica, will learn that the "opener" himself is very tired about the exact same thing she is in a moment's matter.

I wonder how Zach will react when he finally meets a feral that DOESN'T worship him every possible moment.

he will be happy very very happy


but Zach is not my prophet/savior figure .for that he have to do something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4UfAL9f74I

All hail the mauve bunny!
All hail the Opener of Ways!

So, let's see if Zachary meets any of The Fourteen Accepted Signs of Divinity:

  • 1. Vanquish evil
    2. Provide a code of ethics
    3. Heal the afflicted
    4. Blight the crops
    5. Convert the heathen
    6. Call down the lightning
    7. Corrupt the innocent
    8. Eat the moon
    9. Answer the phone before it rings
    10. Remember names of people one hasn't met
    11. Change history
    12. Be immortal
    13. Be indestructible (it's not the same thing)
    14. Be The Winslow
    --P'Oilgof Livy, The Herodotus Complex


Meh, close enough...

Even more so than usual...

And Zach rescues people in the blizzard. Hero syndrome!

I don't know. Zach seems to be in the same area as Fox I find, but I would find it more humorous if Jess instead give Zach the "hot new rabbit in town" approach. Space flea out of nowhere. Just like how Peanut met Tarot. What is it with innocent prophets meeting mysterious girls?

Remember that his bedroom window faces the woods where the followers come from. This probably isn't the first time he's had to deal with followers arriving at midnight. (It's midnight here when the comic arrives, and Jess arrived in this comic, so that counts, right?)
Besides, with his rabbit hearing he could probably hear Jess's resistance to the wind. (not to mention her off-panel cursing...) And he could probably see her coming long before she got there.
Another theory: maybe this happened to be the night he decided to stay up and catch whoever keeps "borrowing" his diary.
When has anything been stated as to Zachs window visibility? That part is possible, but I sincerely doubt that he would have noticed the sound of the wind hitting her what with the noise from it colliding with everything else. Him choosing this night as one to wait up for the diary theif on would be a nice coincidence in line with his prophet status, but given the weather it's also a fair guess on his part that the thief would wait for a safer time for travel, though then again they might also seek an answer as to when the snow will end. (Or an intervention for it)

Zach, you're being pretty naive (but also extremely cute) to don't understand that she's talking about the blanket: only one it's not enough, indeed. But also you Jessica, could be more precise in the explaining... Zach is a new hero here, just in time for the saving, great work. ;) Now you couldn't anymore blame him, Jessica, and for that pretty nonsense reason, then.
Loving the characteristic of both here: Zach's insecurity and constant fear, and Jennifer's perennial insolence. Can born something from this contrast? :D

In the comic strip image file name it's written "conspire" instead of "expire".

Hmm, can't really tell since she's curled up but it kinda looks like she's even smaller than Zach.
I would expect she is, although IRL a possum would be about the same height as a rabbit on it's hind legs.

The Chinese automatic probe YUTU, 'Jade Rabbit', landed on the moon. It's been many decades since a man-made object landed on our satellite for an exploration mission.
I wonder if Zach's followers will think Mankind honored the Opener of Ways with that choice of name :lol:

That last pose for Zach is priceless with that expression. :D

I hope she gets better and appreciates Zach! Also, if she begins dating Zach, how would his followers even react? Interspecies, and a commoner? They would be cute together though, heh.

Jessica in first panel looks nice as well. She is awfully stubborn, I must say.

So stubborn that she starts dating Tiger.

Twist.

Though I think Jessica and Tiger would certainly share common interests. Just not in a romantic fashion. Uh oh. *runs*
