There were some questions about the nature of Charla’s attacks on Mister Fluffy in the last strip that I chose not to answer until I could have this bit up for reading. Just a few quick reminder links:
Mister Fluffy’s body is that of a stuffed bear, so shredding him or tearing him apart won’t stop him. He’s made of fluff, he’ll survive that. But being bludgeoned or repeatedly hit does cause enough discomfort to prevent him from using mind control, such as when we saw him being shoved into a dryer.
Mister Fluffy can not be harmed by magic spells, but only in this particular instance and only because he has currently linked his magic to Emily’s and can hold her hostage to prevent magical retaliation. However, while zombies and spirits are creatures of at least partial magic origin, punching hitting kicking or stomping does not transfer magical energy towards Mister Fluffy, so the aetheric backdraft holding Emily hostage is no protection from that.
Mister Fluffy is, after all, an evil wizard. And what’s Adventurer 101 for fighting Wizards? Bash their face so they can’t cast spells at you.
In the interest of scientific honesty (thank you, Dr Feynman), I should own up to my failed predictions. I was guessing (episode 205 discussion; Playfair cipher with key “misterfluffygodoffire”) that since Al had looked at the burned house and said that Char was “in there”, that her body had not actually been seen — which could mean that magic or mad science might still be able to retroactively save her without violating causality.
So, it turns out that she did come back, but not how I was expecting.
dave! do ya think you can please PLEASE draw a coloured picture of dear mr. fluffy? I would love to see that!!!
I think I can do that!
Yes. By all means, PLEASE continue stomping on him.
Can the Laser Bros do some more…lasting damage to him without hurting Emily? Since they don’t really use magic, but wavelengths and gravitics?
Kathryn cut their power cords, didn’t se?
So, for this one time in history, violence really *is* the answer? Sweet.
I think I’m going to like Charla.
Dave, the “advertizement trying to load causing Firefox to crash” happened again, this time with “Read tpc.googlesyndication.com” reading in the spot where it shows what website it’s loading content from.
Thank you, Hanna, I’ll look more into it.
Based on some google research, it’s possible you may need to turn off hardware acceleration in Firefox’s options. Tools – Options – Advanced – General.
Googlesyndication.com is part of what runs the ads, not a direct advertiser in itself. Try disabling that hardware acceleration option, and let me know if you still have the problem.
Incidentally, hopefully this will help me out too. I can’t go to flash-heavy websites without having them drag down Firefox pretty noticeably. XD
