Pinball Machine
Kat playing a vintage pinball machine in a 50's malt shop and doing really well at it while Flora and Laura look on. All 3 dressed in 50's attire, suggested by feralcat52!

Earlier, it was pointed out that Flora is *gasp* eating bread! (clutches pearls) Someone pointed out that maybe Adria (or the unknown owner, if not her) goes out of her way to buy gluten free, protein-based bread. The major issue I have with that is the idea was too foreign back in the fifties; that's a very modern concept, if I recall correctly. That said, gluten-free buns cost twice as much as regular buns, if not more. That beautiful price of 15 cents would go up as a necessity, given that most restaurants operate with razor-thin profit margins in order to stay competitive. I have another thought on the matter, though. It's also possible -- and hear me out -- that this AU world has different evolutionary pathways. We could be looking at a tolerance to such food, but that's it. It's a tolerance. Cats don't need to eat plant matter to get carbohydrates; their prey already masticated and consumed all the carbs they really need. As with any other biologic process, what doesn't get used either gets stored for future use (i.e. fat) or otherwise gets purged. If it doesn't, health complications tend to develop, speaking from experience. (I am Type II diabetic, and only have myself to blame.) Kat (given her mixed ancestry) could probably eat the fries along with her burger, and Laura looks like she's fine with her frosty, but if I had to guess, Flora is hitting her daily (maybe even weekly) carb load with that borger. It's all speculation, but it's a fun mental exercise.
Not sure which is better: the fantastic hairstyles or the long forgotten idea of a 15¢ hamburger lol
This may be one of my favorite suggested pieces. All three girls look so cute here and I love the setting! <3
PURTY
Flora can has cheeseburger?!
And s side of fries.
I miss arcades.
Thanks, Tom, great job! I love all the little details like Kat's expression of intense concentration, Flora's burger dripping on the machine, the 50's prices, and is that Adira behind the counter?
Ever Since i was a young Boy I've Played the silver ball From Soho down to Brigthon I must have played them all But i aint see nothing like her In any amusement hall That furry, spoted and cute kid Sure plays a mean pinball! (PS: for those curious ones, this is Pinball Wizzard by Elthon John)
From the rock opera "Furry", right?
I see that the pineball game is Space Cadet
Kathrin sure plays a mean pinball.
Epic!
Keidran never die, they just fade away into sketches. Now where is rose with those tokens?
God’s if only prices were still that low.
Relatively, they're mighty close. That's what inflation does.
Definitely want to see this one in color!
Beautiful! Makes me want to go back to an old sketch I made of kat in a 50's like style and finish it <3
"She's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist; pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist..."
I beat you to that one. By 3 hours :P
Need a part where Trace, Red, and Scyth All show up behind the dames. Each one wearing an oversize leather jacket and using a ridiculous amount of hair gel.
One of them needs a letter jacket, but otherwise *yes.*
There all have a wonderful time. Very lovely to see.
Kids those days.
Heh, borger
Absolutely love the way you drew Flora eating the Borger, I can't put my finger on how you made that so cute, but damn! 💙
She's spilling special sauce on Kat's game.
So can we fairly say? That cool, spotted and hot Keidran, sure plays a mean pinball She's a pinball wizard, there isn't a twist. A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist. How do you think she does it? I don't know! What makes her so good? Ain't got no distractions, can hear the buzzes and bells Doesn't see, lights a-flashing, she plays by sense of smell Always gets the replay, never seen her fall That cool, spotted, and hot Keidran sure plays a mean pinball
Old-timey diners are some of our favorite places to go out to eat at, for my wife & I. 🥰 Also, I loved Space Cadet pinball back in the day! 🚀
Flora going all "Borger" on this is amazing.
I hope she can digest that bread and ketchup
Gotta love the classic pinball!
I know "Space Cadet" when I see it. Oh, that brings me back to when my grandpa and I played pinball on the computer.
Haven't actually played it in nearly 20 years, but the music instantly popped into my head :D
Flora's dripping ketchup on the machine!
Great request and great art work! I love the aesthetics of the 50s and Tom nailed the vibes and made the characters so cute^^
i would love to know how well she plays maybe i'd be able to beat her score and i do believe or atleast hope kathrin would accept me as her challenger in any machine she chooses becouse it'll be fun to play against her maybe i'd also buy lunch for her and everyone else becouse i'd love to get to know everyone to see how well i can keep up against everyone
This is such a weirdly specific request but it works well!
Old timey diners are cozy, even for people who only experience it through media and restaurants emulating the experience.
I love pinball machines. They're one of the best arcade games in the world. Every arcade I go to as a kid, I would spend money or tokens on one of those things. *sighs* Good times. It's such a shame that arcades are hardly around anymore.
With that hairdo kat almost looks like a different person. Something about the way it frames her face. Btw the problem with the recent posts not showing up has cleared up. Turns out I missed a few, the previous six posts didn't appear until I refreshed for this one.
I want to eat a borger and play space cadet!

"Borger". Please don't correct that.
Heh, I recognize that machine... ;)
I love the 1950s aesthetic, especially the dresses and prices
