Nanase vs. Elliot, Part VII Sensei Greg: What are you two doing?! Full power?! This is a demonstration match for God's sake!!! / Nanase: Oh, we know that! That's why we're tossing in all the drama, to make things more interesting! / Sensei Greg: Good, except you're scaring away the person we're tryind to get to join! / [[Cut...
Nanase vs. Elliot, Part VIII Nanase: Greg's right; if we don't want to scare her away, we need a simple finish. / Elliot: But that won't work! We've hyped up the finish too much! / Nanase: Well, we've gotta do something--and fast! We look ridiculous just standing here!!! / Elliot: Hmmm... / Nanase [[points]]: Hey, is that...
Nanase vs. Elliot, Part IX, or Shatter [[Elliot is down on the ground; Nanase is on top of him pinning him.]] / Sensei Greg [from off-panel]: Elliot is down! 1!!! / Elliot (thinking): Crap! I forgot about our little "tradition"! / [[Nanase leans in closer and pulls Elliot's head up.]] / Sensei Greg [off-panel]: 2!!! / Elliot: Nanase-I-know-we-normally-do-this-after-every-fight-but-maybe-- / [[Nanase...

Elliot, where did that friend of yours go?! / Nanase: Gah! / Elliot: She...left. / Sensei Greg: What?! but... new student... more money... more anime DVD's... Aargh! / Elliot...
Questionaire Sensei Greg(off-panel): Ok people, Elliot and Nanase get to rest a bit but as for the rest of you* it's time to start your training!!! / Nanase: What is your friend's name? / Elliot: Eh? Oh... Sarah. / Author's note: *yes, There are more students than Elliot, Nanase and Justin. I'm just far too lazy to...
 
(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! I knew she'd be upset no...
A Fine Location for Education Elliot (thinking): I need to fix this... I'll never forgive myself if I lose her... / Elliot (thinking): Let's see, where could she have gone? There's the strip club, the cigarette store, the adult book store, the abortion clinic, or the ice cream place... / Elliot (thinking): Note to self: Never ask...
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.
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.]] / Elliot: Sarah, I know how you feel about me. I've... known for a while now... / Sarah: But... but if you knew, why... why did you... / Elliot: Ever...
100 Comics? Sweet!

It's a secret, and 2. I don't exist yet! Duh! / Nanase (thinking): I suddenly...
 
State of Shock [[Elliot and Sarah are at the ice cream parlor, Elliot in shock, tears streaming down Sarah's face.]] / Sarah: I... I shouldn't of said that... you're in a relationship... you don't need this... / [[Sarah gets up and leaves.]] / Sarah: Forget I ever said anything... I think I'll just walk home now... / Elliot...
Sarah Lost {{Outside}} / Elliot: Sarah!!! / Elliot (thinking): I can't believe she loves me... / Elliot: Sarah! I didn't plan on you finding out in that way!!! / Elliot (thinking): I just thought she was attracted to me, just some crush... Wait, her saying that doesn't mean anything!!! It could still just be some...
What a Day This is Turning Out to Be [[Nanase hovers in.]] / Nanase: I heard you yelling! Is everything ok? / Elliot: Technically, yeah, but not really... / Elliot: I can't believe I messed up this badly... she ran off after we talked a little and now I can't find her! I don't know what to do... / Nanase: Elliot, I'll help you with the...
A Reasonable Separation Nanase: I'm not going to be in a relationship with someone who is in love with someone else. / Elliot: What are you talking-- / Nanase: Don't even try, Elliot. I can see it in your eyes how you feel about her, and I know how your mind works. You're afraid of dating her because you think she'll eventually...
We Missed Something [[Tedd's house / living room]] / 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: What the hell! / Tedd: zzzzzz... / Grace:...
We Missed Something [[Tedd's house / living room]] / 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: What the hell! / Tedd: zzzzzz... / Grace:...
 
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
 
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...
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...
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:...
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...
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]] / <> / [[The beam from the transformation gun hits Grace, who is shocked by it]] / <> / Grace : Urk- ! / [[Grace slowly transforms from her human form to a...
 
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!
EGS Comic Book Page / Strip for Friday, May 17, 2002 {{Title: Striptease}} / {{Story Arc: Catnip}} / [[Tedd is to the right of Grace looking at her with Grace looking over her shoulder and down her back.]] / Tedd: What, back to human form already? / Grace: Yeah, that Jeremy form is creepy . . . and I need to change shirts apparently. / [[Tedd is still looking...
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?
I NEVER reuse images. NEVER!!! [[A TV on a stand is shown to us with the following text: / What Grace and Tedd were doing. / A Tedd and Grace Joint / Cast / Tedd . . . Tedd / Grace . . . Grace / Directed by / Motion Follow Capture Program #67]] / [[Sarah is sitting on the couch with Grace sitting to her left]] / Sarah: . . . Right . . ....
Nightmare [[The front of Tedd's house is seen with Grace in the front door and Sarah walking away from the house]] / Grace: Goodnight, Sarah! Are you sure there's nothing you want to talk about? / Sarah: I'm sure! G'night! / [[Grace is lying in her bed asleep, as seen from above her.]] / [[The guest room, later...
