Description

Wapsi Square is a web comic that has been running, I think, for all of this century. Its story lines are very convoluted and, I imagine it is considered rather avant garde. In some senses, it like its kin, are a throwback to an earlier age. Freed from the constraints of the tiny newspaper panels, they show the kind of elaborate art and dialogue that comic strip used to have. This daily is rare for this series in having just one small dialogue balloon. Paul Taylor also gives his dailies titles, a feature of the golden age of comic strips that has been long discarded.

Briefly, the girl is Acacia Budor, "Bud" an innocent who became a golem but recovered, though she isn't quite normal yet. No doubt, the reason she's mad is that she's just been in a gigantic explosion, wrecking her dress and, she might think, killing her friends. If I was in a similar explosion, I wouldn't get mad, I'd just go to pieces.

The next day's strip shows her putting on some clothes which she either transported to her or which she kept in the storage door in her torso. Storage door in her torso, hmmm. Oh, spoiler alert, her friends are OK.

Even though she's supposedly nude here, I'm not putting this into the naughty bits section, because she doesn't seem to have any naughty bits. Maybe she's like a Barbie Doll.

The actual strip is below. It ran June 12, 2013.
