Preview of Rule 63 Archie!

[espanolbot]

Why do I get the impression that Sabrina's like a Haruhi Suzumiya who is actually aware of her godlike powers?









Heh, Reggie turned into Bonnie Rockwaller... or any given character of that type in any given American highschool based work of fiction.

I assumed that Archie is only unaware because he hasn't looked in a mirror yet. And is an idiot.

Well... he is Archie...

hehee this made me giggle

[jlbarnett]

no, they're unaware. I've seen a more complete preview

That sort of defeats the object of it being a lesson then, doesn't it?

Ah, Salem doesn't need a reason to genderflip everyone beyond a need to amuse himself.

Him messing with people with magic was what got him turned into a cat as punishment. At least that was the basis in the TV show (he tried to take over the world or something) and seems to be the reason for it in the comic too.

(he tried to take over the world or something

so of COURSE they turned him into a cat :D

But perhaps when they return to normal, they'll find that (for some reason they can't guess) they have more empathy for the other gender's outlook and experiences? As if they can imagine what it would be like to be a girl or a boy, without knowing the reason for their new insight? Who's to say if we ourselves, when we experience empathy for one unlike us, aren't unconsciously remembering our travails during a magic spell cast by a talking cat? Can you prove that didn't happen? No you cannot!

it would explain my often times questionable sexuality... being gender swaped so many times is bound to make a not straight person confused....

MY magic cat would tell me at our regular weekly meetings.

And now I'm remembering "The Dream of a Thousand Cats" from Gaiman's Sandman... ;)
