I feel like i'm seeing the 2d slice of a wall of cells.

Honestly if no soul kid is gonna be there moon face showing up is probably a good idea just for Max to have some extra muscle he can (sorta) rely on.

Honestly I’m more concerned Casey (guitar girl) will be there. The fact she was on the part 2 intro and hasn’t really been seen at all outside the Club storyline has me wondering what her deal is.

Like I really might be reading into it too much, but the Part 2 Intro showed four and a half character prominently besides Max and Min, and three of those characters have prominently changed Max's life.

Brittany has somewhat rocked Max's relationship with Calixta, given both Min's attraction to her as well as the 'Bad Future' stuff.

Jericho (and to a lesser extent Cyrus) demonstrated Max was no longer on top of the heap until recently, handing him quite a few losses and draws, and his antics have provoked changes in Max.

Len obviously has drastically changed Max's life by making him her apprentice. This entire part would be almost unrecognizable in its changes if Max wasn't a Wizard.

So Casey being there and doing basically nothing this entire Part feels like a rather unfired Chekov's Gun.

(Now add, and this is purely theory-crafting, how this comic is laid out. All the cells are touching in some way, suggesting who called who, who invited who. As an example, it looks like Orion invited Farva. If we go by this theory, then the Student Council President invited Casey, and we all know she's really shady.)

(Then again if we go with that theory, then Andi invited Meat Boy for some reason, and Meat Boy is the one who invited Jericho, which is... odd.)

Clearly Jericho understands that "MEAT MEAT MEAT MEAT" means "party at the royal crib".

izzy's gonna be coming home to her house either on fire or being devoured by an eldritch creature isn't she

It would definitely be a riot to see

"Not even MY parties fucked up a home this much!!! I'm not sure whether to be PISSED or PROUD here!!?"

It's interesting... Because if you look at who is adjacent to who, you can see that it spreads out in a degree of connectedness.

Doc i think this reference might skew a bit older than your audience

DoctorGlasgow
This is a reference to something?

It did make me recall this shampoo commercial:

Is "(I have info) pass it on" a reference? Cause that just sounds like kids games.

So in addition to the home room class, the party will have Orion, Kavya, Jericho, and the student council prez. But who will invite Ashley and the Ostrich.
Guest 24th Apr 2024, 8:44 PM edit delete reply
Also Meat Boy, since I’m pretty sure Len had him transferred to a Special Ed class after the spaghetti thing
Guest 24th Apr 2024, 8:42 PM edit delete reply
It's interesting this implies Meatboy knows moon face. Just an odd connection, imo.
Andrew Simpson 24th Apr 2024, 8:44 PM edit delete reply
Why did he even let Akihiko know?

The smart thing would be to not only NOT invite him, but explicitly forbid others from telling him about it.
Guest 24th Apr 2024, 8:46 PM edit delete reply
It was Andi who told him. You can see who called who through which bubbles are touching
...?... 24th Apr 2024, 9:13 PM edit delete reply
Who called that sodding green Gretchen guy? Cause great I Love that guy.
Melany 24th Apr 2024, 9:16 PM edit delete reply
So if the bubbles touching is meant to represent who called who, that means some people didn't quite adhere to "invite one other person" rule. At the very least the ones Max told directly did, and I guess the requirement was lost as the telephone game went on.

kavya lilooly and andi
not really surprising
zqux 25th Apr 2024, 1:30 AM edit delete reply
Some of these are very on brand, especially Kavya > Lilooly, Basil > Callie, Farva > no one, and probably most significantly Andi > Akihiro.

Huh,

Thanks to this chart I finally worked out that Benjy is Spiralman

Guess I must be a year or three late to that particular telephone call though!

That makes Casey the last member of the class to have not had any significant screentime yet? (except for the bird)
Melany 24th Apr 2024, 11:53 PM edit delete reply
Grunnard also. He's shown up for a few gags, but he didn't seriously feature in any storyline.

Benji also counts maybe? We know he's Spiral-man, but basically nothing beyond that.

Well Golly! There's no way this will end badly!

I mean really, what could possibly go wrong?

Guest 25th Apr 2024, 3:52 AM edit delete reply
Oh no. Skyler was invited. Well, that's the party ruined.
Guest 25th Apr 2024, 5:03 AM edit delete reply
Nah, he's going to get thrown out into the nearest dumpster to get the party going.
