Right where it's always been?

Hmm... my computer was glitchy with a few websites yesterday, it must have kept animated gifs from running too. Don't know why it's suddenly fixed, but I'll chalk it up to dumb luck and move on...

It wasn't just physical contact, she was excessively afraid of anything 'dirty'. That type of fear usually doesn't just go away, and it was unrealistic that she'd be having these problems for however-many years the comic's been going and then is suddenly able to push past them in order to help her friend. That said, it's a comic, so I'm not incredibly worried that it stays realistic, I just wanted to voice the concern.
Carl-E:
You're right, they don't go away (and haven't). But she's been pushing her boundaries, and (right now) having them pushed by others. She was there to "do what needed to be done" with Marigold, and I'm sure she washed thoroughly afterward. She's proud of herself for coping, and she's having a "good day".
It's not making all the difference in the world, and she's not going to change overnight (come on, does anything in this comic happen that fast?), but she's learning to cope a little better.
Sometimes that's the best you can expect!

--- End quote ---
OK
Three pounds, four ounces
--- End quote ---
I think you are far exaggerating the substantiality of cool. Even James Dean's cool couldn't have topped six ounces.
--- End quote ---
Ah, but you are measuring California cool, a thin and insubstantial source. Up here in the northern plains, we harvest the cold during 40 below winter days and recycle it as cool throughout the year. Fonzie, a good Milwaukee boy, ran through more than 10 pounds a year all by himself.
