Also, Shaenon, I don’t mean to gush but this strip is a perfect example of being so good I take it for granted! The expressions, gestures and distinct mannerisms of each character bring them to life for me in such a natural way that I don’t need to “suspend disbelief”. The story just flows and I don’t notice the artwork until I re-read it and make a conscious effort to appreciate it.
Sort of a reverse Reality Blindness. Fantasy Acceptance?
Valiant is probably aware, and doesn’t care. To paraphrase the movie Some Like it Hot: “But we’re not a rat – we’re 2 human beings!” “Nobody’s perfect.”
To Kansas, but Valiant’s there. They’ll warn him, because they both care. But he’ll try to rescue every one all the rest—cue the rat who was so debonair.
Eeeeheeeeheee <3
God, I love watching bad people break.
I gather Valiant is aware of the gestalt nature of the person he first met as Ratty McRatterson?

Even more impressively, you’ve pulled it off with them both wearing dark glasses.
I truly didn’t notice that! 😉

I love this so much! And the facial expressions in the last panel are priceless. Made me laugh out loud!
Aw, look at them, thinking ahead to worry about their BF safe. Given that they’re not the best at thinking, particularly impressive!
*keeping their BF safe. wow that sure was an entire word that was important to the sentance
Look on the bright side, E. B. and A. A. You may finally get the chance to meet Valiant in the flesh.
No, there are worse ways to meet the parents.
How long to the point of know return?

Ah, the cracks in Anasigma’s foundation begin to show. From such simple things do great events grow.
No, I’m not trying for another limerick, just being dramatic.
Awww, these two cute doofuses aren’t gonna stay evil long 😀
