This makes me so happy. All 7 of the former Tackleford Mystery Kids, reunited. Plus Glenn. Who I still feel bad for. I’ve been there, Glenn. I know how you feel. Hopefully, you’ll get to spend some time with each of these people individually, so you can get to know them.
Well if you’re cooking 3kg of fusilli, then that means you have access to roughly 10-15 liters of boiling water, which you could then attempt to dump on any assailant.
This page is full of happiness and is beautiful to see such a sweet group of friends. I wonder if Glenn is thinking about his old friends in New Zealand now.
Lottie has Shauna
Sonny has Lottie
Claire has Blerg
Desmond has Molly
Mildred has herself

Sonny has Linton
Sonny actually just picked up a jumbo bag of pasta for everyone
Right at the start of lockdown in 2020, in peak uncertainty, I did a panic shop at a local supermarket-sized Co-op. The shelves were already pretty barren, so the only pasta I could get was wholewheat fusilli.
Guess what’s still in the cupboard, unopened, six years later?
Honestly surprised that Sonny didn’t do better with his Secret Santa gift, he always seemed like the insightful sort even if he and Lottie spent basically no one-on-one time with each other.
Also, wait, is Jack wearing a chain under the collar of his shirt? What sort of hideous youth fashion is that?!
I’ll confess ehre that I’d never heard of Labubu until the word came up fairly recently in an online word game, and I looked it up (I see that “Lafufu” is the name for the cheap knockoffs).

Legend, Oh Legend, Oh Eighth Wheel Legend…
Now now, Claire was more of an occasional mascot than an official Mystery Kid.
Claire was made an official mystery kid by unanimous acclaim in “Hard Yards”.
(They needed a tie-breaking vote on whether to persecute Tim. She voted no.)
Exactly.
The last thing your assailant will see will be a nightmarish beast.
I’m pretty sure there was a chapter called “Blobby Blobby Blobby” or “Blobby all the time,” and this isn’t it?!
Blobby problems?
Perhaps she could use the fusilli as a bludgeon?
Well if you’re cooking 3kg of fusilli, then that means you have access to roughly 10-15 liters of boiling water, which you could then attempt to dump on any assailant.
Maybe her assailant might be gluten-intolerant.
Given the current state of the company bank account, that fusilli is a damned practical gift!

It looks like he’s staring at our heroes with blank incomprehension.
They don’t have fusilli in New Zealand, it’s spaghetti and pasta shells only.
Yeah, fusilli doesn’t (don’t?) grow in NZ.
Genuinely been curious since re reading this who else everyone’s secret santas are.

Ob-la-di.
but everyone knew her as “Nancy”
That’s a secret</em.>.
Also maybe a secret: at least some markdown is rendered in the comments(!)
La-BLOBBY!
Pfffft – AAAAARGH, my eyes!
That is inspired, John, I love it
Shanua clearly loves it too cough cough
Such a clever gift that’s so Shauna and so Lottie to pick out. I love how all the humor and hearts intersect in this strip.
Is it reasonable to wonder if the fusilli is something Sonny was transporting at one point which “fell off a truck”?
Don’t worry Glenn, soon you’ll realize that these are all your people. You may not be an original Tacklford Mystery Teen but you are one in spirit.
Maybe another time travel episode in which we learn that Glenn’s ancestors migrated from Tackleford to Christchurch in 1857 as would-be gold miners.
Uh-oh — Chekhov’s fusilli
Perhaps is just a thing of the pasta.
Speaking of reunions I hope someday Lottie and the Mystery teens reunite with Les Souers Broussard, Mimi and Elodie.
Elodie Broussard! Now there’s a name I haven’t thought of for a long time, putting those of us constantly clamouring for Gibbous and Scout to shame.
You could tell by her wrists she’d be good to kiss…
Sorry, I should say, BROUSSARD, Elodie, there’s a name I haven’t heard
The Sleepless Domain discord is much taken by the lafufu! Though some do tremble at its presence.
I wonder if joining the Discord would be easier than occasionally reloading the page to get status updates on The Dreaded Hiatus
The last panel just makes me feel so warm inside ^ ^

There’s a decent chance it’s rancid — the germ in whole wheat products doesn’t store well.
‘Fun’ fact: in the UK, pepper spray is classed as a prohibited firearm (section five of the Firearm Act, 1968).
This is Lottie’s DIY pepper spray, I would imagine.
Suddenly, I’m wondering what the Tackleverse equivalent of Temu is.
Tacklemu.
Amstru.

Must not sleep, Lafufu will eat me…

I don’t know what a “Lafufu” is supposed to be but I like the idea of making it into a defensive weapon.
