.....That could get nasty.....
I really think Barnaby deserves it. I mean, he tricked Chapel, her mom (Chapel's mom's name is Lia right?)
and probably her dad too. (Is his name Sam?)
6/11/12 responder
Where did you get that from? (The mom's name. I now remember that her dad's name is Sam.)

In one of the comments in Jenga War Strategy, somebody asked if the picture on the wall was of Chapel's family. When Emma replied and said it was, she named Chapel's family members.
6/23/12 responder
Yes, that's their names! I guess he does deserve it...

I know the comic where Chapel's mom was mean and punished with Bieber... >:D but I'm not telling.

Also, I quite like Barnaby! He's funny, interesting, and I love how you drew him!
werekitty13 6/9/12 responder
Wow, I'm glad you like him! I'm really enjoying showing his differences and similarities with his sister.
6/9/12 responder
Someone else already figured it out as well! I'll just spoil it: it was the comic called "Cruel and Unusual Punishment" while this comic is called "Cruel and Unusual Punishment: Reprise." Bravo for figuring it out as well!

Not anything to do with today's comic, but you're such a bright girl I thought you might appreciate this comic about science.

Link didn't work
6/8/12 responder
Hpph. Well, it was by Phil Plait, called welcome to Science, and if you get time you might look for it.
6/8/12 responder
Yes, I'll definitely keep an eye out for it! I'm not super passionate about science, but any well-made and educational comics are always something I enjoy!

I love History, but i find Science just as awesome as well. I know many of you love Dr. Who. I know that you know what he has a sonic screw driver. guess what?

Scientist and Engineers are RIGHT NOW, here in real life in the process of MAKING IT REAL! a fully funicial sonic screwdriver, how awesome is that! now who said science is boring?
6/9/12 responder
Wow, I had no idea about that! I never said science was boring, I'm just not as interested in it as I am in say, art.
6/9/12 responder
Yes, I'm sorry about that! Since this website doesn't require a captcha or any sort of email to leave a comment, we have to put in all sorts of anti-spam tricks, like blocking links.

AWWW, I think she should've let him off the hook! he's so ADORABLEEEE
Especially in that 3rd panel! HIS EYES XD
6/8/12 responder
i see both Chapel and Barnaby have light blue eyes. that is a rare color to find. but my eyes are even more rare. I have heterochromia eyes, my dad has them too. i guess it's a mutation that runs in my family.
6/8/12 responder
Wow, heterochromia eyes are amazing! What colors are yours? I have green eyes, which are very rare, but CERTAINLY not as rare as heterochromia.
6/8/12 responder
You have green eyes too???? Everyone tells me my eyes are really pretty because they're hazel and "striking", as my mom puts it, lol ;D
6/8/12 responder
Hazel's different than green, though, hazel eyes are green and brown. Mine are pure green!
6/8/12 responder
Pure green eyes? do either of your parents or grand parents have red hair by any chance?
6/8/12 responder
I think my paternal grandmother's hair may have been red, but the green eyes come from my mom's Italian side of the family, all of whom have dark hair.
6/8/12 responder
Green eyes and red hair hail from deep celtic/galic blood lines. it is becoming rarer these days.
6/9/12 responder
Well, my red-haired relatives do not have green eyes, those come from my Italian family.
6/9/12 responder
Nothern Italy had colonies of Celtic tribes people hundreds of years ago settled in and mingled into the gene pool. they probably didn't teach you that in your history lesions, but it's true.

but granted, green eyes and red hair don't always go together.
6/9/12 responder
as a follow up, dear god, my eyes have changed already, light green and orange now.
6/9/12 responder
ORANGE?!?
6/9/12 responder
you heard me right. orange. I guess i'm a weird old man. Senses ghosts, eyes changes color, enjoys talking to young kids in a comment section on a nice webcomic. i just can't make this stuff up! real life is sometimes better than fiction.

what's next? Kick rises funds to make a TV show out of all of us?
6/9/12 responder
Um, okay
6/9/12 responder
(face palm) I ment to type kick start dot com. it's a populare website that raises money for people with good ideas to start a company or makes a movie (and other things)

I'm sorry if some of you have not heard of it. maybe my joke missed the mark. ><
6/9/12 responder
It's okay! (^^)
6/10/12 responder
It's kickstarter and does help people raise funds for creative endeavors.
6/11/12 responder
Thaaat's niiice.... I guesss...
6/24/12 responder
...
6/9/12 responder
I'm half Italian, more of my heritage than anything else.
6/24/12 responder
Emma's green eyes come from me, her mother. But only my sister and I have green eyes. Everyone else in our large family has both dark brown eyes and brown hair.
6/11/12 responder
Well... I have some relatives who have hazel eyes and I have faint natural red highlights in my hair but that's about it for me with the red hair and green eyes.
6/24/12 responder
My grandmother on my mom's side had reddish hair. My hair is brown, but I have lots of different natural highlights because my family has lots of different hair colors (blond, brown, black, red) Our eyes are all different browns though.
I have an Italian side too!
6/24/12 responder
They are (right now) Brown and dark green. Here is a small bit of trivia for those who don't have Heterochromia. not all of we who have heterochromia are configured the same way. we can two diffrent colors in the same eye. others (like myself), the colors can slowly change over time. last year my eyes where light hazel and blue.

i don't know why they do that. It could be diet or exposure to various degrees of sunlight. I'm just not sure.
6/8/12 responder
I had a teacher who's eyes were like that, too. Only hers would shift slightly depending on her mood!
6/9/12 responder
THAT... could happen. When they start glowing brightly, you should start to worry and/or run away!
6/9/12 responder
Jeez, you're teaching me so much, Taxil! I was never aware that people with heterochromia could have their eyes change color. How strange!
6/8/12 responder
Stick around me, you'll learn a thing or two. ;-)
6/9/12 responder
I have heterochromia eyes too! Mine are green and brown.
6/9/12 responder
Wow, what are the chances! It's amazing that two of you would have heterochromia eyes.
6/9/12 responder
Well, he DID do something that made his sister cry...I don't really think he should get off scott-free! But it's true, he is adorable.
6/8/12 responder
 
I think that Barnaby should be punished, but not so severely. What he did do wasn't that bad, but bad enough to get in trouble
6/8/12 responder
i guess Chapel's mom needs to calm down and forgive him. he needs that car until he can get his own, or he WILL lose his job for real.
6/8/12 responder
Well, we can be sure he'll use public transportation. Plus, he and Chapel's mom ARE commuting to the same place -- after a while, I'm sure she'll cave and let him carpool.
6/8/12 responder
good enough for me. ^^
6/8/12 responder
Actually, yeah. If Chapel's mom actually contributes to Barnaby losing his job, she would feel even worse than she does now
6/9/12 responder
It's fine, it won't happen. :)
6/9/12 responder
Well, THAT'S good! (^^)
6/9/12 responder
Yeah, I'd be inclined to agree! Really, I think he should just consider how upset he made Chapel -- because that's the only thing worth feeling badly for, really...
6/8/12 responder
 
Well, since this one is called Cruel and Unusual Punishment: Reprise, it would only make since to guess that Dr. Smith punished with Justin Bieber was Cruel and Unusual Punishment... plus, I remember the name.

I'm not sure I would be especially happy with someone if they did to me what Barnaby did to his family... but I'm not sure I would want them to be punished either. Unusual situation, it is. :3
6/8/12 responder
Wow, how did I miss spelling sense wrong up there? :P
6/8/12 responder
Ah, it's fine, I understood what you meant!
6/8/12 responder
Haha, typos drive me crazy.
6/10/12 responder
Yup, that's exactly the reference! I'm glad you caught that. And yeah, the situation with Barnaby is a tough one -- that's why I thought it'd be interesting to get everyone's take on whether they think him being punished is fair or not. It's a conundrum indeed!
6/8/12 responder
 
NO-ONE deserves to be forced to listen to Justin Bieber 24/7...
That's not a punishment, that's veering into 'evil mastermind' territory!
6/8/12 responder
well, if she tries that, he could counter with 24/7 Barry Manilow. >)
6/8/12 responder
Hmm, I don't think Barnaby is the kind of person who would listen to Barry Manilow -- but it's a good idea!
6/8/12 responder
Barry Manilow lissiening has been used as a vailid punishment in our courts of law. i remember an news artical i read some time ago that some thug was arrested for disterbing the peace by paying some god aweful rap music way too loud. so the judge senteced the punk to lissien to Barry for over 14 hours if i remember right.
6/8/12 responder
WOW, that's incredible! I never knew about that being used as a valid punishment.
6/8/12 responder
That's amazing. Shows how bad some music is getting.
6/24/12 responder
Yes, I'd have to agree! Also, I adore your username!
