    Wow it took all of 10 seconds for
    Higashi to wake up.
    Mavia has not heard of bodysuits I guess.
    It would protect her fur,
    but would it impede the ‘armor’?

      She’s just freaked by the feel of the suit,
      I have a spray I use on my boots that is
      a hydrophobic coating so I can walk
      around and the mud just falls off. It has
      a slimy feel too, but leaves nothing on
      the skin once it dries.

    Panel 3 – She’s no waif, so he’s straining a bit. As he should.
    Nice attention to detail on his facial expression.
    Panel 4 – He’s got some serious thigh muscles there.
    Panel 8 – LOVE Mavia’s facial expression!

      Just when you think that those big
      eyes couldn’t get any bigger…

    I’ll grant you, he’s straining a bit, but the fact Higashi
    did tell her to shut up AND sweep her up is telling
    enough. Both will be tired but happy come morning.
    And some wanna-be leaders of the world can go suck
    bad eggs 😉

    Now, now Mavia, you must embrace the slime, the
    slime is your friend. It feels slimy because it is totally
    hydrophobic, but not air-tight. It’ll need work to make
    it a space suit, if ever. But as a hull coating? or a
    suit liner? Yeah I can’t wait to see how this turns out.

      as per the paper yesterday,. IF you cross bound
      with something like graphene aerogel,. you get
      a insulating watertight ultrathin layer,. that is
      also a high density battery…
      so,… thermoptic camo, with a built in battery,
      and can be used as a ‘short term space suit’.!

        That’s an idea, but I thought aerogel was a solid,
        but like glass, anything thin enough is flexible.
        Considering the over-all size of the suit and what
        all the “battery” would be powering, it could last
        2-3 hours per charge. Not ideal for station
        construction, but as part of combat armor or
        a escape suit would be a good way to use it.
        Hmmm… a thermal cell could use the body
        heat to add to the time, more so if the wearer
        is exposed to the sunlight… Adding some
        solar cells would help extend the charge too.

        heh,, carbon (graphene) aerogel is hydroscopic.
        IE: dry, to the touch.
        solid,. = ridged. once made considered a solid.
        whereas the base determines the rigidity.
        silica = soft,. polymer = hard,. carbon = hard
        but flexible…

          also, for the androids,. a double thick (1mm)
          layer of aerogel filled with molten salt,
          (silicon works better, But is thicker at 5mm.)
          acts as a ‘Thermal battery.’
          so a 1mm fat layer, added to the design of a
          5 foot 6 inch frame give a 9 hour, thermal storage,
          or about 4 hours under heavy load,.
          IE: running for 4 hours..
          give Crystal a backpack (daypack) sized heat
          exchanger,.
          and she would be able to power a city block,
          through the battery…

          edit: backpack is configured for “Molten Salt”.

    I was looking at P4 just now, his right foot
    looks like he’s about to trip on that rug…

      And the rug breaks the panel border as well.

    Panel 7 – it might be bulletproof, i.e. bullets won’t go through it (mostly,
    per the previous strip), but it’s still flexible, so a bullet hitting it while
    a person is wearing it doesn’t stop the bullet from doing damage. It’s
    not like Cap’s vibranium shield. A bullet hitting the fabric would continue
    forward momentum, dragging the fabric with it, possibly through a person
    wearing it, till the fabric drags the bullet to a stop. Or, I don’t know what
    I’m talking about, which is highly possible as well.

      That’s true, but even a vest will leave bruises
      or broken bones depending oh the caliber.
      It’s acting like a non-Newtonian fluid, which
      should absorb much of the kinetic energy.
      So instead of a hole or missing body part,
      it spreads any left-over energy over the entire
      body. So it’s like getting hit with a punching
      bag rather than a .762 round.

        IF, they add the graphene aerogel,. which acts like a
        non-Newtonian fluid,. then add double thick hard points
        on the arms and legs, with a trama chest plate,. then
        by the math the batteries jump from 3 hour to 9 hour..
        also because of the molecule bonding,.
        the impact energy is spread an stored (like kevlar.)

    I see the jar, and it definitely says “Fairy dust”
    but looking at the eye balls, I notice they were
    all green, Does Mike have a “thing” for
    green-eyed people? Heh. 😛

      Looks like the jar has a green tint to it.

    Fur?
    I thought Catians had about as much body hair as humans do.
    Has that changed, or is she speaking figuratively? Or maybe
    their body hair is more wired into their nervous system than
    ours so they’re more AWARE of it.
    And she could wear it over a catsuit if she’s really bothered
    by it.
    Pun intended.

      Most seem to have very short fur, more like a slightly dense fuzz…
      They are human with cat features. If they were to have normal fur,
      they wouldn’t need clothes, at least not at home, I think anything
      longer clothes would drive them crazy from the itching. Her
      reaction to something sticky or slimy is cat-like. Just put a bit
      of tape or anything sticky on a cat and they go nuts trying to get
      it off. No I haven’t, there’s a lot of people that do because it’s
      funny… cruel…
