Fun Stuff > CHATTER
This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.

The harpie lives alone (panel 1), people only bother her if they need something (panels 4,5,6). Witch comes over and invites her to a party. Its kind of a d'aww moment since the harpie doesn't appear to really have friends but the witch inviting her out she may have had one all along.
No not farting in panel 3, just rummaging through her bag to get the invite for the harpie.

Is that Kiwi marmite? It looks different from the British stuff that I'm used to buying.

Ah. It is indeed different from the British stuff, and this is a minor annoyance for me which I may or may not have brought up here before, I don't recall...
Basically the Sanitarium company here in Australia and NZ, which happens to be owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church (please don't get me started again), decided to market a spread and call it Marmite. They got the trademark before the British company did, I believe (I am now searching for a reference and can't easily find one, so... I can't swear it to be true). Anyway, the point is, this product is completely different from the British product, and because it exists, British Marmite imported into Australia has to be rebranded as "Our Mate." I guess there is a similar situation in NZ.
There are a bunch of variants on this spread, of which Vegemite is the best known and most commonly connected with Australia, and while they are all obviously quite similar, they are also markedly distinct.
