Paveline would appreciate any help on her journey home. The current incentive is this wallpaper. Request desired size after donating and I'll send it to you!
Ashwara! You should have known better than to draw something that suggestive in the presence of someone who already fancies the woman.
…Kidding. If those fruit really are intended to represent what they look like, it’s probably Classical in meaning. Hecube could bare her breast to Hector without incest connotations.
Well, it’s not explained any more in the comic than it is now ha ha ha. So i figure if people don’t get it now they wont later. But you’re right i should hold my tongue and let time do the talking!
Pretty much. i mean, I don’t have any kind of scientific document explaining all this, but I think of her as sort of an embodied spirit of a forest/nature.
. . . incest?
What?

They aren’t related anyways. She’s not even a human, she’s essentially a plant.
whoa she’s a plant? i was just thinking she had a really cool dress that grows fruit. @_@;;
Look at the fruits’ position in panel 6 and then look at Flik’s hand position in panel 7.
It’s more on her shoulder.
What is wrong with you people
mmm boobie fruit.
Lol, rude child, I’M HUNGRY *rips off an apple* MINE NOW!
I want a document
i just have to say, your comic is abosutely GORGEOUS.
Aw, thanks so much ( ´ ▽ ` )
eek, Ashwara, don’t give her explanation away so soon
… although I sorta guessed by her appearance. But still!
Fantastic colours as always
