Parable - 89 - HD
🕑 Added 2020-04-07 03:01:00 +0000 UTCAw, they just want fun facts! Here's one: Grace thinks all purple things taste like grapes.
Commentary
I really was just planning to parody a video game series. I really was.
Then I wanted to see Rhoda go on a date, and then I got other ideas, and there was this duck... No, not that duck. Some actual duck. It was outside, and I was all like "cool. A duck."
Okay, I confess that the duck has nothing to do with this. I just wanted to talk about it, because it was cool to see a duck. It waddled and quacked and stuff. It was pretty neat.

as a fellow nudist I still resent that its implied that im a pervert cause I dont like wearing clothes :D
Some Ed
You're right, Dan. That's me laughing maniacally. That's rather astute of you to notice. I thought you lived too far from where I do to possibly hear me. I mean, you think squirrels are supposed to be *brown*. The squirrels around here aren't that.

Did you mention duck because it's been a while since Demonic Duck has made an appearance?
Daryl Sawyer
No, that was Noah. At least, I think it was; he has the "only one eye" thing going on. This is... someone else. Not sure who. I can't think of any known character whose response to Grace's casual nudity would be "She's a pervert?!" And he has both eyes. And he talks *way* too much, and way too crotchety, to be Noah.
Some Ed
That depends a great deal on how her taste buds work. I'd guess she's probably different enough from the typical human that I'd just be willing to bet she's in for a surprise.
Some Ed
Well, yes. High genre savvy, but she's a bit of a squirrelly recluse, so they've not really gotten to know her. This is, incidentally, the motivation for all of this: it's really frustrating to know all of this stuff about ones world, but then not know vital details to make any of that mean anything. I'm guessing the answer is, "Um, well, she invited me over and is letting me play on her computer. She's sitting right next to me watching me play and talking with me about it, though."
Some Ed
That depends. If it's actual purple, actual grapes. If it's artificial purple coloring, then it's grape flavoring.

Pretty sure this is the same guy from Dan MUD (just with a hair cut) https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/2005-07-22

How dare you call Grace a pervert! That's Tedd's job!

Or, you know, it's a new character. Even in this NP story line The Dan introduced new characters.
ZekeStaright
Like actual grapes, not grape flavoring.
AstroChaos
Noah and then Diane would seem to be the most likely of candidates.
Stephen Gilberg
Grace is in for an unpleasant surprise when she bites into an eggplant.\
Chordat
So... he knows enough about this world to (supposedly) know that Grace created it, but knows next to nothing about Grace herself.

Distracted by actual duck is like, the most quarantine/ADHD thing I can think of right now. Just remember, only bad guys play with ducks. Good kids don't engage in... fowl play.
IvyReed
I'm having fun so far! Feel free to continue to get distracted if these are the results :D

...so our mystery figure knows very little about Grace? I guess that rules Tedd out
