659 Saotome School.
You know what I don’t have that I think would be cool to have? A can of green Play-Doh. Proper green, not half a can of yellow and blue mixed.
I’m not sure how long I’ve had the cans of Play-Doh I keep on my desk. They are new enough that the kid isn’t on the can. Actually I have 2 older cans that still have the Playschool logo and the Tonka copyright, but the contents have… evolved into something other than Play-Doh. I’m not sure, but I think at least one of them might be a biohazard at this point.
One of them was my sister’s at some point. I can tell because the lid has pen scribbles all over it. She went through a ballpoint phase where many of her things gained alterations, shall we say? I’m not sure how I inherited it. Most likely she discarded it and I claimed it.
I honestly can’t remember how I ended up with the newer cans. They must have been in some kind of Halloween set because the colors are orange. black, blue, and yellow. I almost have to have bought them on a whim. I did a lot of that sort of thing at one point.
Anyway, I like to squish the stuff aimlessly when I’m not focused on anything. I guess it’s stress relief. Actually molding stuff out of it is no good. Detail is too hard to gain, or maintain.

Don’t retreat you wuss! Stand and fight!
He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day.
Tidus used to say the same thing…
I love whenever Ed has a literal blank stare on his face. And man I remember how play-doh would stick to my houses carpet for forever.
Yeah it’s tough to get it out once it gets into carpet. I don’t play with it in a way that would lead to that sort of thing anymore.
I can see the spirit of Genma bubbling to the surface in that fourth panel. Good show, sir.
Genma, heck, Ranma used said technique during the fight against Ryoga after Ryoga learned the Breaking Point (a.k.a. Bakusai Tenketsu) from Cologne.
Ranma may use the technique, but you have to admit that Genma owns it.
He sure did. Before he found out it only works on rocks.
Any moment now she’ll start playing with a tire.
Did she change direction?
The “camera” changed positions in relation to her.
ha ranma joke clasic
This one’s very dynamic, it’s good! I especially like the “retreat”-panel. Though, overall it’s very good.
Lol Jess did the right thing, with prize in hand only the escape is left :D
I must say I’m slightly disappointed that Ed said Have at you rather than Have at thee. But I read a lot of Thor comics.
“have at you” is from Monty python and the holy grail. one of the greatest movies ever made. so that is why it is not disappointing
It’s actually a common phrase. I was thinking of Symphony Of The Night when I was writing this, but feel free to associate it with whatever reference you like. XD
Motion, contemplation and… opposition, was it? It remember for sure anymore. Excellent reference anyway. You’d think Genma was mostly harmless, eh? Then you remember Yama-senken and Umi-senken and the cradle-from-hell and know your betters.
He had his moments. XD
I love the blank stare with the glass. That is priceless!
Does she bounce as well as she can retreat?
Indeed.
Heh. “By the numbers and on the bounce!” Starship Troopers FTW. ^_^
Nooooooo!!! The bad lady is taking the preciousss… we will getss it back… *incomprehensible spitting and mumbling*
Stupid fat hobbits!
Play-Doh is awesome!I wish I still had the “Jabba’s Palace” set I had when I was a kid. Making multi-colored polka-dot Hutts and pretending they had strange Huttese diseases was just too much fun.
That set’s worth a bit now too I expect. I never had those as a kid, just the squeezy thing that made snakes.
SEMANTICS! <— awesome ^___^
I understand Play-Doh can be relaxing to manipulate but I actually don't get why you would want the green variety. The colors you do have seem great to me.
P.S.: I visited your DeviantArt gallery and I drooled all over the place, I beg your pardon for the mess. Kudos, absolutely great stuff, I totally hearts your style.
Happy 3 days of no work andhurricans yall!
one of my friends is a die hard brawl fan and needs new opponents. can i get your friend code?
Honestly, the servers are so bad playing online is no fun. I haven’t touched it in at least a year other than to randomly beat up on the AI.
I know it can’t be the case, but in panel six, Jess looks nude from the waist down. Probably just my dirty mind. :P
It’s really more like the Joestar family technique.
Ed’s expression in the 7th frame = sister… I am disappoint
You get my props from just this strip alone. I am a HUGE Ranma fan, and that little moment of a scene sure brought back some fun memories!
And a valuable technique it is!
Is it simple coincidence, or a further homage to Takahashi, that Ed looks rather like Mousse when he does the Scary Shiny Glasses, and especially on this page?
If you really want green play-doh, that is a real green, it’s really easy- get the materials you need to make P D, and you can make your own.
I think It’s mostly a flour-like powder, + cooking oil, or something.
It’s literally a kind of DOUGH.
There are, likely, recipes for homemade play-doh on the web.
I’d include one here, or a link to such, but I’m being incredibly lazy, + dog tired, today! :D
Ok, never-mind that last part.
Here’s a P D recipe:

While you make it, experiment with colorings, + make it the green that you like.
WARNING- If you have dogs- Play-doh, + make-your-own play-dough- have lots of salt, + smell like food, so keep them away from dogs. Ingested PD can make your dogs [very sick].
