| Nanase vs. Elliot, Part VIII | Nanase: Greg's right; if we don't want to scare her away, we need a simple finish.

| (no title) | Nanase: You've known this girl all your life, and yet instead of talking about the feelings you know she has you decide to show her that you're in a relationship by making her witness it in person without any sort of warning?! / Elliot: Look, I had a plan, it just went wrong!

| Awkward Moments | {{The ice cream place}}
/ [[Sarah sits alone at a booth, with a sundae.]] / [[Elliot walks up and sits down.]]
/ Elliot: Hey.
/ Sarah: Hello. / Elliot: You, um, left rather suddenly... / Sarah: Well, you know how it is; sometimes you just HAVE to have an ice cream sundae. http://egscomics.com/d/20020428.html |
| This Complicates Matters | [[Elliot and Sarah sit on opposite sides of a table. In the background are salt, pepper and a menu in front of a window. Sarah has an ice cream sundae.]]

/ Mr. Verres: Grace? She's with Tedd in the living room watching bad television.
/ Sarah: Thanks / Sarah: Grace? You in here?
/ Sarah (thought bubble): Why does this place smell so minty??? / [[Grace is a half-cat, asleep on Tedd.]]

/ Sarah: Thanks / Sarah: Grace? You in here?

| Explanation, Please | [[Tedds house / living room]]
/ [[Tedd and grace are on the couch having just woken up, talking to sarah]]
/ [[Grace is still a half-cat]]
/ Grace: *Yawn*
/ Tedd: Yeesh, did we fall asleep on the couch again?
/ Sarah: "Again"? Damn, why are all my friends attracted to freaks? / Tedd: Hey, are you calling... http://egscomics.com/d/20020506.html |
| First Piece of the Catnip Puzzle | {{Earlier...}}
/ Tedd: "He's going to break her heart?" Sorry, but that sounds like something out of some bad comic strip soap opera that no one in their right mind would want to read. / [[Grace stands up, cracking her back.]]
/ Grace: Ok... well anyway, I got an idea about how to make my brothers less... http://egscomics.com/d/20020507.html |
| Bad Kitty | Grace: Oh woe is me, a fair maiden about to be turned into a horrible cat monster by the evil wizard Teddimus!!!
/ Tedd: Hehe... um... I'm not sure we should be doing this ... / Grace: Why not? You love transformation stuff!
/ Tedd: I know, but this might work differently on you... / Tedd: I've tested... http://egscomics.com/d/20020508.html |
| Confidence | Grace: Ooh, stripes! This is all being recorded, right? I want to be able to watch this later!
/ Tedd: Yeah, I got the camera set up. / Grace: You sound awfully annoyed for a guy with a furry fetish and a half-cat girlfriend.
/ Tedd: I'm concerned. I know it was kind of the point, but what if you can't... http://egscomics.com/d/20020509.html |
| Tedd's Refusal | Grace: Well, um, I guess I was right. The Transformation Gun can force my brothers and I into forms we can't just transform out of... / Grace: Ok, see if the gun can turn me back now, please?
/ Tedd: ...No. / Grace: W-what?! Tedd, turn me back to normal!
/ Tedd: No!
/ Grace: Please!!! W-why won't you... http://egscomics.com/d/20020510.html |
| Second Try | Ted: Grace, how do you normally transform?
/ Grace: Um, I just kinda do. When human I become half squirrel, and when half squirrel I become human.
/ Tedd: what about your third form, when you become a complete squirrel?
/ Grace: ...well, ah, I need to concentrate specifically on that form to become that... http://egscomics.com/d/20020511.html |
| Slideshow | Grace: Huh... I'm not even dizzy. I wonder... / [[Over the next eight panels, Grace transforms herself into a half-squirrel, then back to human, then to half-cat.]] / Grace: I can transform into either one?! / Tedd (thinking): I'm so going to watch that in slow motion once we're done recording... http://egscomics.com/d/20020512.html |
| Defensive Measures...? | Tedd: Well, it was an interesting idea, but seeing as using the transformation gun on you basically gave you a new form that you can access at will, it's probably safe to say that we can't use the gun against your brothers...
/ [[Grace looks down at her sharp claws.]]
/ Grace: ...No, we can... indirectly.
/ Tedd:... http://egscomics.com/d/20020513.html |
| Jeremy is Juggling Dinner Plates Off-Screen in the Last Three Panels. | [[Grace and Tedd are seen talking to each other with Jeremy sitting on Tedd's arm kinda like a parrot.]]
/ Grace: Is the, um, "Half-Jeremy" form really the best for combat that you have?
/ Tedd: Hell yeah! Just look at him! But I'm confused . . . don't you hate violence? / [[Same basic scene with Jeremy... http://egscomics.com/d/20020514.html |
| I'm Scared | Tedd : Ready to see what it's like to be Jeremy? Well, sorta anyway... / Grace : Bring it on, Tedd. / [[Tedd pulls the trigger]]
/ < http://egscomics.com/d/20020515.html |
| Less Scary | [[We see a fullshot of half-Jeremy Grace.]] / [[Jeremy leaps at her, appearing to attack.]]
/ Jeremy: MEREOW!!! / [[Grace panics.]] / [[Black panel.]]
/ Grace: AAAAA!!! / [[We see Jeremy sitting calmly in Grace's arms.]]
/ Jeremy: Meow! http://egscomics.com/d/20020516.html |

/ Grace: Yeah, that Jeremy form is creepy . . . and I need to change shirts apparently. / [[Tedd is still looking... http://egscomics.com/d/20020517.html |
| Catnip: A Nifty Substance That Drives Cats Insane With its Minty Smell that Can Be Released by Rolling ... | Tedd: Well, this has certainly been an interesting evening...
/ Grace: It certainly has, but what do we do now? / [[thinking]]
/ Tedd: Good Question... What would be a good way to wrap up this evening? Let's see... / [[cheering]]
/ Tedd: CATNIP!!!
/ Grace: Yay catnip!!! ...What's catnip? http://egscomics.com/d/20020518.html |
