Just Your Average Day

I have come to the conclusion that we are seeing entirely too little of Veronica. So there. Fix that. Please. Thank you.
Indeed. For instance, her complete published works.
Emmett needs to be in treatment for their ADHD, stat.
As do many of us
I just realized that there are 6 strips (plus more coming I am sure) all on the basis of Martin asking to borrow a piece of luggage from Veronica.
Problem 9. Prove for Emmett. There's a great little meme I saw this week with a top image of a straight row of footsteps labeled "NO PETS" and a bottom row of footsteps and pawprints that looked like a deathmatch labeled "CAT OWNERS." It had little notations. "What do you need?" "Meow" "I'm just trying to - -" "Cat!" "Can't you just - -" "Watch out!" "Geez!" This is me every damned morning trying to get from the bedroom into the kitchen. And right now, our two cats are running laps through the house at top speed. I see no problem with Emmett's situation or explanation.
I still wonder over the sequence of events. It could be: Last night Emmett let the back door open, cat came in. This day, Emmett trips over cat (they found out about the cat), mom tries to sho cat out, cat hides. Mom is fed up, decides to wait and check out rabies info. Emmett tries to feed cat, steps into soy milk plate, it breaks, argument and they came over to Sam. But I think there are variations or other sequences. Let’s just say, I need more Emmett Lore.
Veronica face. I'm there.
I'm with Veronica. I think Emmett is officially my new favorite character.
I really like how Emmett comes in all hooded and psychologically armored, and then as they talk, starts loosening the hood and puts it back and literally lets down their hair. Emmett feels safe with Sam and Veronica and now with Marten.
Good catch. I didn't even notice that.
You almost wonder if Emmett's mom scoped out the town before moving there, and was like, "Well, Emmett will fit in here..."
I identify with this kid so much.
Causality incarnate.
casuality incarnate
We need to get together Emmett, Emily, Melon, Brun and probably Beeps. Then watch Northampton turn into Gravity Falls real quick.
I would bet Cubetown (gah, almost typed “Cutetown”) is the high tech version of Gravity Falls.
For a moment I wondered why Sam wasn't enthusiastically demanding to escalate the situation, but then I remembered it was a cat instead of a herp.
god i forgot how horrible it was to be a teen
At 16-17 I had a long term friend whose family treated me like one of theirs. I used to go over for a hug and shed a few tears on his mum's shoulder about how crap it was being a teen at least couple of times a month. Found out a while later that the friend was calling my mum a couple of times a month to vent and have a cry about how hard it was to be a teen. And we were both saying our parents just didn't get it.
In my opinion, there should be a custom that days like this should be referred to as, "it's a Murphday.". Then again, this might be Tuesday for Emmett. That said, I recall having days like this, both as a tween and as a parent of tweens. On the third hand, I'm not sure this is evidence of Emmett being neurodivergent so much as Emmett responding to a parental figure asking questions.
ion = 6 ?
This reminded me of a line, can't remember from where. Web comic probably might have been a book or a movie. "Oh, no, she's a good person. She's just not good at living."
Veronica is overwhelmed with the need to give Emmett a hug >w<
Emmett reminds me of this one friend who isn't real good at things, but I swear gets triple the punishment for every mistake...
Emmett's mom's colleges: Ugh, academia is so frustration Emmet's mom: Finally, a few hours of nothing but office drama, student drama and research field infighting. Phone rings Emmet's mom shrieks in fear
4905 second take.
Yeah, Emmett is pretty much awesome.
Life is complicated. (Also, the shoes thing only really made sense to me on my grandpa's farm, where it wasn't unusual for people to have not only mud on their shoes and boots, but also the occasional bit of pig dookie.)
“‘Mericans wear their shoes inside.” Boy howdy, West Coasters look at me like I’m nuts for wearing shoes inside my house. But in the South, it wasn’t A Whole Thing like it is out west. It was just… what we did.
Most west coasters I know wear their shoes inside!
Emmett has world-level coping skills.
Gosh I love them. Emmett is precious.
That's a lot happening out of literally nowhere lol
Can someone just hug Emmett already?
They'd likely accidentally stab them with the pen in their pocket or something.
When a problem comes along It finds Emmett Before the milk sits out too long It's spilled by Emmett When everything is wrong It's poor, poor Emmett It's Emmett! Emmett good!
What does it say about me that I don't like the original song, but still immediately sang it in my head?
Veronica has the time of her life.
Is this Letterkenny
S1E1: “Cat”
I have the same face as Marten's mum reading this.
me too
Emmet needs a cat.
I'm afraid Emmet now _has_ a cat.
Fair-to-middlin’.
One of our semi-feral patio cats has on two occasions wandered into the house, and then gotten spooked and run the wrong way, AWAY from the door. He hides under the bed in our bedroom, and it's a royal pain getting him to find his way back to a door.
This is how I always answer this question
would work better with a chunk of tuna to catch a cat tuna smelly
I adore Emmet. They're the storied friend we all deserve to meet ❤️
I love them, they are pure and good.
Wait. Doesn't everybody's day go like this?
Well, yes, but most people interpret the query "How are you?" in either of two ways: 1. It's equivalent to "Hello!" and needs no verbal response. Returning a smile is sufficient. 2. It does mean "How are you?", but the proper response is "Fine, thanks. How are you?" to which the proper response is "Fine, thanks." Unless the person asking is a close friend, "Fine, thanks" should be your reply even if you're sick or are having a terrible day. I believe Emmett's lengthy reply is characteristic of people on the Autism Spectrum. I see myself as an Aspie; it's hard for me to correctly sense the emotions of a speaker. My natural tendency as a child was to interpret a "How are you?" from anyone as a true query of concern and compassion that deserved a reply containing a comprehensive description of my current mental and physical condition. But, since I'm an Aspie, my analysis may be quite incorrect.
Emmet is a magnet for chaos, my goodness.
This is why things are going so well in Northampton lately. Emmet is absorbing all the negative waves.
They're so good omg
Oh Emmett.
EMMETT LORE YAY!
Veronica could just cry w/ joy!
Wait. Has Yay met Emmett? That feels like it could go... interestingly
Yay would calculate the odds on how Emmett has managed to survive for so long.
the Emmetverse expands
On the bright side, Emmitt saved the cat from getting problems with the cat’s digestive system because of the soy milk. (Also don’t give cats almond milk because, according to Ginger Cathouse (UK), “A small dish of almond milk for cat is the equivalent of us eating 3 doughnuts in one day.”)
Milk of any kind isn't great for adult cats, though.
As Veronica said: Kid has LORE.
I love them too much.
Emmitt’s ponytail
I love them so much
MORE LORE!
Dearest Emmett, land of a thousand minor disasters. Yet they prevail.
SO Adorable!
Emmett lore, folks. EMMETT. LORE.
And that’s the summary.
They had to trim it to keep within budget for the final release.
MORE EMMETT LORE
Moar please
