An awful chimera
I think it unlikely that, short a very extreme training montage, Lottie Grote will ever be an action heroine. There are four comics next week (Mo-Thu) as Author Unknown concludes.

Any minute now, Lottie will find just the right pressure point below his scapula, and down he will go.
Any minute now…
“Isn’t… this… where… Doctor… Spock… pinches them?” she’s thinking. I think.
See, that’s where she went wrong. Pinching the cheeks of babies is not effective in these kinds of situations. She should have gone with Mr. Spock instead. Guaranteed to work.
Then, the legend of “Hokuto no Lottie” will start!
Kick him in the gills!
HOORAY! Finally a worthy opponent for Penrose!!! Maybe, too much worthy..? Lottie is doing her best for help him… HOW CUTE♡!
Oh this isn’t going well….
“What are these things?” Clearly they are old-school Maoists, as evidenced by the red stars everywhere in panel 4.
Wow, MerMaoists! How did that happen? Did Chairman Mao order crates of his Little Red Book to be dropped into the ocean?
This is basically how other European Maoist groups got started so probably.
“Maoist” is “moist” with just one extra letter added. Coincidence? I think not!
Reverend Penrose may have to punch his way out after being swallowed whole.
It has been done before at the old Vicarage.
John, I found that LFS is aquaria shorthand for “Local Fish Store.” I can deal with that much easier than I can with the ubiquitous “LOL” that some commentators add instead of punctuation. If I find one doing it I am sworn to strangle them a la thuggee.
How would good ol Shauxna have cared in this situation I wonder? As I recall she was no stranger to fisticuffs in her rough upbringing.
Oh, we totally need a Lottie Grotte training montage.
For a moment there, I thought that the Rev was leaning hard on the fourth wall, before I remembered the profession of the missing person.
The Reverend would not know the fourth wall if it him him, and I think that is just what is happening here.
Indeed, he often seems oblivious to the presence of walls #1 – #3 as well, with gratuitous property damage as a result.
Lottie clings tenaciously to its backside!
A true flea!
For not knowing what they are he’s much better at determining their age and gender than I have been throughout all of this.
I haven’t seen this much action since The Hulk battled The Thing! The Missus told me a story at lunch when she was several months big with child about what a human chimera was. You so do not want to know if you do not already.
If you’re talking about what I think you are, pregnant women are chimeras, and remain so as mothers for years after, as their cells contain DNA from their offspring. Also if a twin dies early on in utero, the other twin will often absorb the other twin’s DNA, making them a chimera. It’s the WONDER of NATURE.
I believe calico cats are produced by this process where instead of twinning they end up as one cat where half of the cells express one phenotype from an X chromosome, and in the other half, the other phenotype.
Sharks have this totally sorted though, they just have a battle royale INSIDE the egg sac and only the most powerful shark emerges into the world.
I really appreciate that john’s characters aren’t mary-sues. lottie is a cute young lady with her own set of skills, and those do not include sport or ass-kicking. the rev, while less crafty than her or shelley, can punch his way out of problems though!
