Come on Phoebe. You can counterattack such pathetic idea of bullying… if that’s what she’s doing.

Don’t get me wrong, I love our planet, but it’s location is boring. Why couldn’t we be one of several moons to a gas giant orbiting a binary star?

Actually, the leaves are starting to turn in Seattle, though it must have been 90 degrees back when this strip was actually written.

I see my misunderstanding now. Her comment sounded like a bully of mine that pretended flattery. Now I wonder if that boy meant something else…

Red skin and dark flecks, some look almost golden brown. Freckles are all the colors of the human species on a single person. Mine are very small and subdued. I stay out of the sun for protection.
