Suzy's a boy confirmed.

>>87553746
paranatural is... good again?

What happened? It's like Zack did a face-heel turn from less than a month ago

So if Violet drinks for free why is she in such need for stars?

>>87553892
Well, this page establishes that she has an embarrassing secret. Here's why it's a penis:
Because.

Also, when Lisa says "Miss", Suzy panics, but when she says the name we all know her by, she sighs in relief. I was thinking it was something like "Suzy" being short for some ugly long ancient foreign name, but then I remembered this is a comic with a character named Jeffavorite Flavors. Now I can only assume Suzy thought she was going to say "Miss- ter" and whatever her boy name is. It HAS to be a penis.

>No that would officially make her too cute for the comic.
In a comic as progressive as this, it's okay to throw a cute trap into the mix.

>>87554044
the art is still shit. Max's face used to have emotion, now it's just a blob. All these characters faces suck compared to chapter 3 era

Is it just me or is the art and writing worse

>>87554164
Whoops, I missed.
>>87553914

>>87554167
It's not bad, it's just not nearly as good as it was. I'm waiting for Zack to grow out of this Bright Pastel Muppets style he's adopted. I'm guessing he's sticking with it until the end of the chapter then changing things up. So we're in for another year or two of Muppets.

>>87554248
Why would he drop it? His art will evolve for sure, but why would he just change his style like that? Also, where my hijack revelation? Are we in for a couple of months of updates that will let the plot stagnate again?

>>87553746
What's Suzy's secret, /co/?

>>87554362
Big ol' dick

>>87554362
Petite feminine dick

>>87554362
Secretly a double werewolf.

>>87554362
Crush on Dimitri.

>>87554164

she was afraid she was about to say "miss spender". suzys embarassing secret is that her dad is a teacher and also huge awful dork (actually i do not remember if suzy has a canon last name or not because she has been absent from the comic for literal years)

>>87554642
She'd have to be Spender's sister because otherwise he'd have knocked someone up at 14, which is unlikely because he's gay. Also Suzy has a penis, but in this tolerant world Zack has created, no one cares about that. It's just incidental.

>>87554642
It wouldn't be a secret if she was a teacher's daughter. Actually anything related to her name wouldn't be a secret, unless Suzy manages to hide her name from everyone. But she couldn't in a school.

>>87554362
Her real name is Susanna.

Because of fucking course that's what it is.

>>87555207
That's not embarrassing at all. Maybe that's gonna be the joke? It'd be cute af though.

>>87555134
They could be step or half-siblings. Spender being anyone's dad is stupid because of this >>87554894. But if she's the product of one of her parents' second marriage, she could easily have a different last name, which would be enough to hide her relation to Spender from all but the nosiest of middle school witches.

>>87553746
How long until Max kills himself.

>>87554248
>I'm guessing he's sticking with it until the end of the chapter then changing things up.
This is my guess and hope as well. I want him to announce that Paranatural is going on hiatus so he can work on a buffer and we can have better art again.

The linework in all these recent pages after Hitball have been extremely sloppy.

>>87554362
I'm gonna go in a whole other direction then the other (you)'s

She has a furafinity account

>>87553746
>if you had a different ... appearance

is he calling her ugly or dissing her fashion sense?

>>87555791
Suzy fucked a dog once. That is her secret

>>87555805
Either works. He's just going for the low blow.

>>87555805
He's just not into trannies.

>>87555852
How gay of him.

>>87553746
Oh hey, a page that's pretty good. The writing anyway.

The art still sucks a big fat one and always will for the foreseeable future unless Zack stops A: being a lazy motherfucker and overusing pastel backgrounds and B: drawing everyone like it's Steven universe, seriously, everyone's way too blobby.

Shit, I'd settle just for A personally.

Suzy better not be out of the game already. I fucking hate when interesting characters get rendered irrelevant like that.

>>87554164
1- perhaps she was expecting her to say her family name, in some situation it would make sense for her to keep that secret
2- Zack is not subtle, if he wanted to make it look like the 'mister' was cut, he would do that
3- it would be an horrible thing to blackmail a trans person with their secret, one that probrably would disturb Zack's tumblr readers. It wouldnt fit Lisa's personality either to do so much harm.
4- okay, i was going to say that Zack knows better than to talk Again about a kid's sexuality (like that's not weird at all), but as he already did it 3 times i think it's at least possible that such reveal could happen, but that's pushing it too far.

>>87556144

I hope you don't think that sort of thing is acceptable in a courting environment. Tangential to the comic specifics withholding your gender from someone you're interested in or have mutual interest from is abhorrent.

The plot wasn't even the main problem with that interlude.

The paneling is dreadfully cramped, the pacing is awful, every page is just a series of funny faces with few if any backgrounds, and the content of each update is almost exclusively FOREBODING FORESHADOWING or le whacky humor.

And you fucks forgive it the instant it goes back to the main plot. Don't you see that he's just jangling keys in front of your faces? Do you SERIOUSLY think the only flaw with that interlude was that it was distracting from the plot? I thought we were better than this.

>>87560128
huh...and there's only one blonde haired teacher isn't there?

sending max to investigate the activities club, when she really should just be asking her dad about it. Seems a perfect kind of hyjink for this comic

>>87560128
>>87560191
Why would that be a secret? Everybody would know about it. Also, Spender having a kid doesn't fit at all. Who's the mom? How would Suzy not just ask him about the club, or try to stalk him instead of the students?

Personally I'd go for a surname that she got from doing something reprehensible or shameful that only a handful of people know, but won't exploit because it's not worth it and it's a simple and efficient mean for her to be kept in check. Nothing too big or relevant, just enough to muzzle Suzy, maybe even something that has no actual blackmail power but that she thinks has.

Note the pleasing aural quality of "Suzy Spender". Reminds of Superman's mild obsession with alliterative names.

>>87560417
>Who's the mom?
DEEEEEAAAAAAD

>How would Suzy not just ask him about the club
Doesn't want to admit she's jealous of the time Daddy spends with his club and not her.

>or try to stalk him instead of the students
Harder to stalk an adult

>>87560417
Spender does seem a bit young to have a kid Suzy's age, unless he did something phenomenally stupid as a teen.

What if he's her brother?

>>87560852
>considerably older sibling taking care of younger one after parents become DEEEEAAAAAD

Get a load of this faggot.

It's possible it's her last name assuming her family name has changed for one reason or another. All sorts of embarrassing reasons for that.
If it's "Suzy's trans" I'm going to roll my eyes but honestly not care much beyond that.

>>87560884

>Suzy Spender
And everyone in school would know about it, unless she goes by with a fake name and being Spender's relative is shameful. I wouldn't cast that possibility aside, but it would require a great explanation for the twist, and I'd put that above Zack the Hack's skills.

>>87560949
>unless...being Spender's relative is shameful
Of course it is.

How it wouldn't, however, be common knowledge is a question I can't answer. If she's a near relative but has a different name then concealing it wouldn't be an issue to begin with.

Unless Zack'd just fudge it and ignore than kid's full names come up all the time in school.

>>87560191
>>87560949
>>87561183
So we agree that Spender is her Onii-chan, and that he probably asked Dimitry to put her in check because he knows what his little sister may be up to.

That, with the fact that Suzy will become a spectral, is actually very reasonable. The only issue is.. why didn't she react when she heard Spender's voice earlier? why even keep it a secret?

>>87561849
>So we agree that Spender is her Onii-chan
No.
>That, with the fact that Suzy will become a spectral, is actually very reasonable
No.
The Dimitri thing may be close to the truth though, he didn't just quit the club for nothing after all, and he seems more mature than the rest of the spectral kids, so keeping an eye on Suzy isn't out of the question. For the rest, nobody agrees on your shit theory.

Well, the main plotline at the moment is basically just "catch Hijack", but now that I think about it, this comic's been running for five years and there still isn't really a main plot yet at all. It's more like a monster of the week deal (or monster of the year thanks to the pacing), with the occasional hint to something bigger going on, but there's not really anything overarching the whole comic yet, which is a bit strange.
