Exactly. I’m constantly blown away with the way Batty can make every last panel, in a long dramatic conversation like this, be FUNNY, without descending into bathos like a Marvel movie.
Only thing I can work out is that it’s mostly callback humor and very much in-character.
oh achilles
you’re trying so hard buddy
you’re almost there
Progress………..maybe.
We’re getting there!
90% little man, you’re closer and closer to giving her autonomy
Achilles rockin’ that business suit in the last panel
Welcome back, Batty!
Bigger than 5 what ? inches ?
Dollars. When she and Chloe were playing Achilles Piñata, Mars told Chloe that she got any bills over $5 which fell out of his pockets
Noticing on a re-read that Achilles’s bangs change color depending on which side of his face is closer…
Pepper’s managing pretty well for someone who hasn’t eaten or mentally prepared…
how else is she gonna fill her wardrobe? not by accepting small bills that’s for sure! :mars-point:
This update is adorable! My babieeeees! :cutesy: :hearts: :hearts:
Rare achilles neck angle??
Also love to see the progress here. Keep at it little man :achilles-prrr:
But it’s not an assumption! She said that!
Ohhhhh we’re so close! :pepper-cutesy:
aww it’s cute seeing him realize that mars genuinely wants to spend time with him :cutesy::batty-bloody::thesmoocher:
1-5 dollars is useless :achilles-cutesy:
$100 however :mars-shout:
i beg to differ. 1 to 5 dollars can get me a tasty snack! yummers!
Hey, progress is progress.
leaps and bounds from achilles today
~i got (more than) five on it…~
Achilles is so close to a break-through! All Pepper needs to say is “ask her what she wants”. That’s all that he needs to say.
Is it? Is that the sort of question Mars would respond well and honestly to?
the jokes write themselves..! [wrong! wrote by batty!]

I like to think Achilles bangs are so long rn because nobody will let him have scissors
He inches ever closer to understanding. Good. This is good I think.
Achilles is so pretty in the last frame i love him :achilles-plush: :hearts::hearts::hearts:
I think we’re gonna get an attempt at an explanation about how mars doesn’t want chloe to think she’s weird.
