549 | The Cat Came Back

Oh, Gunner. She’s mad, bro. Hope you can talk your way out of this one!

And what is that Gunner is assembling, anyway?

Also, I’m fostering a kitten again. If you live in the Tulsa area and need a new kitty you can adopt one from me!

    Not even a “Hello!” first?

    looks to me like another PsiBlocker mask

    I think I see a ship avatar on the desk there.. Does Gunner know of the failure?

    Now our favorite psychic Gunner had a problem of his own,
    He had a white cat that just wouldn’t leave him alone,
    He tried and he tried to send the cat away,
    He sent it to find a starship from a galaxy far far away,
    But the cat came back the very next day,
    Thought she was a goner but the cat came back
    She just couldn’t stay away…

    Oh look, Gunner’s making a new crown. I wonder if it’s for Zap?

    At this point, I would opt for defenestration. Better chance of survival.

    Awww.

    Naveed is unhappy.

    I find that i can bear that thought with equanimity.

    I’m sure Gynner can, too.

  • Neiona

    *runs!* Gunner my love!  Where HAVE you been??!

  • J_b_s_2008

    For some reaon it looks like he’s assembling a scouter from DBZ.

    “….the very next day/
    they thought he was a goner/
    but the cat came back”

  • It’s over 9000.

  • Angela Griffin

    I noticed that too….

  • Angela Griffin

    It TOTALLY does XD

    GUNNER!!!<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
    I know he's a total psycho, but still… *swoon*
    Y'know, I just realized that Gunner ever-so-slightly reminds me of Yu Kanda from D.Gray-Man. I mean, he has LONG purple hair, he is as gorgeous as any girl, and if you tick him off you are SO dead XP

  • Stev

    Looks like he’s holding a car muffler in the air. Probably going to use it as a muzzle for Naveed.

    My hair’s only half as long as Gunner’s, but I’m getting there.

  • The first panel in my mind: “Meanwhile, back at Castlevania…”

    Though if that’s the Earth in the sky, does that means this is lunar address?

  • Yep. The Universal Psychic Academy is on Earth’s moon.

  • TheG4Be

    He’s obviously assembling his very own lightsabre, duh!

  • Hawk

    Had a laugh at the comic title.

    Obviously it’s the  visor thing zap is wearing in the volume 6 cover art. damn you mind control.

  • Have argument with best friend and leave. He tracks you down, shoots you in the gut and then puts a mind control device on you.

    Worst. Friend. Ever.

  • I guess the past two comics have had song title titles. :P

  • Safyrejet

    Dang, now I wish I had psychic powers to use to float stuff while I’m assembling bits of machinery.  That looks really handy. 

    I’m also half expecting that floating muffler looking thing to fly towards the door and impale the angry kitty.  I mean if he sent her away to die and she somehow survives, wouldn’t it be just as easy for him to finish the job properly himself?  The dude’s a psycho psychic, coming back to him, even to get mad at him doesn’t seem like such a good idea to me.  *waits anxiously for the next page* 

  • J S

    I don’t think he has to worry.  His power is much greater than Naveed’s skills.

    Simply the fact that you managed to use that word makes this comment my absolute favorite.

    looks like gunner is on the couch tonnite

  • Celestial-vine

    Um, I hate to say it but I think Naveed has the wrong arm in the sling. She got hit on the left arm.

  • Ramification

    Poor Naveed. She’s smart enough to realize it’s suicide but not wise enough to be able to control her emotion and just disappear off to somewhere and live a happy life.
    Just had to confront Gunner in person, did you not? He sent you to your death several times now and still the subtle clue didn’t sink in sufficiently thoroughly through that thick neko skull. Sigh, now he’ll be forced to personally break your neck like a twig and he oh-so mercifully and civilly tried to simply abandon you to your death so you can pass honourably now that your purpose is fulfilled and your usefulness was outlived without tinting his…well, mind’s hands by the red stain that wouldn’t wash.
    Why, Naveed, why didn’t you just take the easy way out? Why couldn’t you let go?
    And why, why did you come back to ask “why” when the answer is so very clear to you already, knowing that death shall swiftly follow…

  • Sunphoenix_72

    I sooo agree with you on this one!  Why why why…did she come back?!?
    She has every reason to suspect he will kill her… and WE all know he must!  Powerful as he is…dangerous as he is…Naveed is too dangerous.. and knows too much anyways!  She knows EXACTLY where to find him and has the sneakiness to get into his most secure locales!  I really don’t want to see her die… I think she could possible see the error of her past choices and change.  Just not wise enough to realize Gunner will simply kill her for failure if anything else… “Evil Knows No Mercy.”

    she was also holding her sword up with her left hand a few comics later (but I’m too lazy to post 2 links…)

  • Einargizz

    It’s a lovely Earth tonight.

  • Oogilvie

    My first thought when I saw all of Gunner’s paraphernalia was that he was doing narcotics and was like ‘OMG’ but it was just mechanic parts…

  • KryptonAngel

    Oh, for sure! It’s the same one as is on the Volume Cover

  • KryptonAngel

    defenestration = the art of throwing someone out a window
    Such a beautiful word…

  • KryptonAngel

    Well, hello to you too…

  • Speedy Marsh

    That’s what I thought! That or a water heater.

  • Speedy Marsh

    Did you notice that y’all’s whole “You need to remember how much fun we used to have being bad before you lost your memory” story was a foreshadowing of this past season of Haven? I wonder if the writers read your comic :)

  • Speedy Marsh

    He doesn’t have to impale her. He just has to make her follow the shiny thing out the window. Even on the moon, that building is tall enough to be fatal.
    Have they come up with a way to keep a breathable atmosphere on the moon yet?

  • Speedy Marsh

    I wonder if crowns can control non-psychics. If so, that might be her crown he’s finishing up.

    On second thought, I take that back. There’s nothing in all the worlds that can control a cat, except a laser pointer, and maybe catnip.
