She's OP as fuck, nerf when?

>I've got more arms than the wackiest god in all of India!

Poppy takes a dislocated jaw pretty well

Okay so what does it say on Tuna's ass

second word is Kitty. I think the first word is Pretty

What's the "...Huh" panel about? What is she noticing?

Looking forward to seeing other bullshit exercises from Petunia.

It's either something about her face, or the paw she punched Poppy with, but there are no visual indicators of pain or anything... Claws, maybe?

She's been using various methods to keep herself from getting angry and attacking others

This is the first time it didn't work

Very likely that it ain't the first time it happens.
Probably the first time it was an accident, though.

Perhaps this is the first time she punched someone in forever. Maybe she just forgot how powerful her punches are or something.

Reflecting on the fact that she, as a strict pacifist, probably just punched Poppy hard enough to kill your average person.

Perhaps the realization of how effortlessly she could murder about the whole bird mafia if it came to that

>In which this is clearly not the first time Poppy has had to reset her jaw.

Did some asshole just threaten him to not fuck up a work of FICTION!?

Poppy wouldn't know what BPM is.

>that impossible bloodying of the glasses though the panels effect

That's a nice trick, actually.

Why are martial artists nowadays so insecure?

They truly are just reverse-Sup Forums

In the 7th panel she accidentally mentions her mother was her teacher. You know, the woman who can READ MINDS. Combined with this martial art... no wonder she and her father were so afraid of bad thoughts.

Wasn't a threat
He was saying there would be people who would criticise him for inaccuracies, which is something that always happens

People really enjoy backseat-driving Morbi's very-first-ever webcomic for some reason.

Is it his first?
He's probably done something very shitty in the past under a different pseudonym

Yeah but like this is a comic about a possum and a cat working out, if they can't understand that there might be some creative liberties or all all out liberties in whatever making a martial artist then that guy is just being a overly sensitive ass

Reminds me of every time there's guns in a comic.

Morbi claims to take criticism very well, big mistake.

they just nerfed ironclad so she shouldn't be so OP now

>This is how Mo- er,
So her mother taught her.

>that guy is just being a overly sensitive ass

I'm pretty sure he just did homestuck stuff in the past. If he did a webcomic during that time, who knows, the only other comic thing I can think of is that hellmouth porn piece.

>implying she wasn't about to say Morbi

one wonders if it was Petunia who made it so it wasn't as bad as it could of been
considering it wasn't an amicable break up and her dad sports a nasty set of scars it might be that Tuna's ma wasn't all that non violent

You don't even need to be a good fighter with mind reading. Shit's pretty OP.

>implying she wasn't about to say Monday, the patron cat god of lasagna

Her amazing Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence comes with pathetically low Charisma and Wisdom, and even lower Wisdom Saves.

>dat glorious back in panel 6

don't forget the tight sports shorts

I came...
I saw...
I hit 'em right dead in the jaw!

Ah, but we haven't gotten a heavily detailed closeup of Poppy's ass in those shorts yet.

Truly best goddess

>Petunia's slap displaces an entire quarter of Poppy's head
holy shit

That looks more like a punch

Cause they're tightly wound for all this deadly armed combat knowledge and few legal ways to use it.

>Why are martial artists nowadays so insecure?
they have always been, the teachers are always competing with each other for students to support them so hype and being anal about arbitrary shit to make themselves seem wiser or more "authentic".
frankly that's where most mysticism around eastern martial arts comes from, dojo operator devolving shit into proto scientology.

>huh
She about to break that pacifism for real and go to town on the birds now.
And then these threads will go full /an/ about how Morbi's shitty outdoor petunia is culling the bird population and he doesn't understand the ecosystem.

Morbi's creative use of panels is another reason I enjoy this comic so much.

So what would have happened if she had hit Chicando with that punch?

I want to know what it says on the cat's butt.

Wouldn't think Petunia would be the type to wear words on her butt, but I guess she really wants people to look.

Death, he's a bird which means hollow bones and Poppy is a tank.

Either ripped his head off like Vegeta did with Guldo (and consequently started a big political shitstorm) or Chicandino would have some secret weapon/hidden defense/conveniently placed lackey to avoid death.

I think it says Pretty Kitty

Yep, confirmed: it says pretty kitty.

morbi.tumblr.com/post/157970747542/hey-morbi-what-does-the-backbutt-of-petunias

Fug, porn comic centered on Flora when. It's a gold mine.

It was clearly a backhanded slap.

>then these threads will go full /an/ about how Morbi's shitty outdoor petunia is culling the bird population and he doesn't understand the ecosystem
Underrated post but it's understandable.

>tfw /an/'s banner isn't about the Brown Recluse

MUSCCULAR POPPY

If Morbi promised a bonus comic of how that happened, he'd get a spike in Patreonbux.

>Martial Arts instructor with poor self-control teaching somebody else with even less restraint

This won't end well, Poppy's going to kill someone for tapping her on the shoulder.

Fucking yowch

You mean the shorts or tuna attacking chickendino?

plot twist: they were actually a gift from mary.

Actually winced when I saw Poppy's jaw.

Me too

I swear I've seen that joke before

I imagine Petunia wouldn't be caught dead wearing something Mary possessed, no matter how temporarily.

Actually popped a boner at Tuna's butt.

The comic clearly runs off a point-buy system. 'Tuna took a big heap of flaws to build a combat maxed skill monkey. Poppy's a trick build and most of the Lucky Star users had to take major flaws.

Might actually have been the driving force behind Petunia's training. Get fast enough to live through a fight with mom by moving too fast for mind reading to matter. If she never succeeded, her mom's probably gonna be her future boss fight.

If that was still Chicano, think he'd have survived? I'm guessing anybody who wasn't Poppy or Borris took that hit to the chops would be missing their Jaw.

Well the words are certainly true.

If Poppy even gets a quarter as good as her she's going to be Avian genocide.

>implying they didn't fight already
That's why she's a pacifist. She knows what could hapen if she loses her temper again on someone who can't keep up with her. Valente would already be dead if she wasn't and he knows it.

>implying poppy has points left
>implying she's got enough int to respec
She'd need CHA to go along with her newfound DEX and AGI.
Otherwise she is literally Hitler with no good speech skills to talk her way out of it.

I imagine cutting your life to 30 gave her a shitload of points, which of course she mostly dumped into STR. Clearly the DM is is going to fuck with her a lot this arc for making her build in a heavy political intrigue game use Chr as a dump stat.

She's going to die of old age, Poppy is irrelevant.

he's said hes not interested in mixing the two. a least not publicly
any saucy poppy stuff he makes is shared only with his friends, that said he's shared saucy Poppy stuff BY his friends

Just reset some of her points and re-attribute them elsewhere. They have scrolls for that stuff now.

Did Poppy accidentally insult Petunia's Hair?

BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN

Poppy's only going to be able to boost AGI by a few points due to the heart condition flaw. She's not going to be buffing her DEX at all. She's already got a middling CHA score boosted by a high rank in baking and now a face NPC follower.

>Petunia wears shorts with sexy writing on them

Goddammit, not now boner, she is not for sexual.

That seal has already been broken, my friend.

Way I figure it, strong possiblities are

1. She won (maybe saved dad's life). Disgusted by what her mom had turned her into, swore it off.

2. She lost. Rejected violence as a rejection of her mom's teachings.

3. Same as #2, but they never fought for real.

If it's 2 or 3, there's a rumble coming.

Well, she's going to level sooner or later. She must have gotten some XP for throwing a goddamn mountain at a dragon. Now she can put those points into combat. She'll ignore CHA cause she's been using it as a dump stat this whole build. Admittedly it might work out, once she has the monk levels and can combine her STR with all the improved strikes the DEX and AGI will give her, there might not be any problems short of another dragon she can't just Murderhobo her way through. Except of course, rasing her daughter.

I feel like there's more to being a pacifist in this setting than just refusing to fight as a philosophy, or else Valente wouldn't be so willing to push her limits, knowing what she can do.
My guess is that there's a magical punishment element to it. Her reaction on this page has me almost convinced of it, she looks like she expected something to happen.

That sounds stupid but, knowing Morbi now, I should expect stupid.

I'm pretty sure the martial arts advancement will count as feats and give her dex and agi that way.

If that's the case though, how didn't it.

Also it seems like magical punishment would have kicked in when she used the death glare.

Even if it only hit a possom, seems like using something that powerfully aggressive on a living thing should auto-trigger.

It would explain why part of the training is learning the movements so easily that you don't need to think about doing them. Mind reading's useless if your opponent works off of instinct. Like that one fight in One Piece

Please friend, link.

Her bald spot.

With the lines at the ends of her fingers, the first thought I got was that she was declawed.

Morbo's Chibichaser tumblr should have it.

>Panel 6
I-I'm not weird!

Might just be physical contact? The way she's holding herself makes it look like she was expecting some fingers to break, either because of Poppy or because of her pacifist thing.

don't say I don't do nuffin for you

Just in case some people here are as dense as Poppy, here is a reminder of what her body can shrug off. Now compare that to what Petunia did.

You're jumping to stupid conclusions.

I didn't read your post but thank you for reminding me of these.

Possums, man. They're fucking tough.

Seriously though, as someone that has to deal when them periodically, those mother fuckers sometimes just outright REFUSE to die...

A dirty and stinky sock?
Hot.

I need more of Poppy in Ms. Rufus's cleavage.

You still get to feel retarded for forgetting .

What does Ms. Rufus wear underneath her skirt tho

I did not realize that guy hit her over the head with a pipe until now.

It's funny because martial arts are fictional themselves.
