What Happened to the Yarn

I actually like Alice's look the best out all of them there.

I like Emily (the white with orange) and Alice... o-o

...This is horrid.

No, I mean, the art and the story and everything is done really well, and I'm enjoying it as a reader, but the behavior in this arc, particularly by that trio, is so... so catty, for lack of a better term. It's making my skin crawl. Last time it looked like Alice might have nice intentions, it turned out it was a setup for a dig at Diana's hobby, and, even then, I had my doubts (which turned out to be justified) about her sincerity. Now I'm again suspecting she has ulterior motives of some sort; perhaps she just wants to make herself look good in front of Louis. Maybe she'll surprise me, but...

I dislike being so suspicious of the Alice's true intentions. It's unsettling to not be able to trust that she can be genuinely kind. And the way the trio seems so focused on voicing snide remarks and put-downs is... Well, let me put it this way: I would be much more comfortable with a straightforward shouting match or fistfight. That's still not a good way to solve conflicts, but it at least, I think, would have more honesty.

Oh no what's she up to?

Her hand through her fur makes her look like a long eared bunny rabbit.  

(Hello everyone just joined the forum)

I am probably the only one around here that is actually looking forward to see Diana failing at her current mission. Partially, it due to the fact that I do not like her irresponsible nature and partially because I prefer neutral or sad endings.

As for Alice's next move, I see her hitting two birds with one stone: gaining Louis's favor by being nice to Diana and somehow make a hit on Diana herself. Examples include: manipulating Diana into showing her in a bad light, taking away Diana's confidence by stressing out the amount of work to be done, offering help and sabotaging the products, making a big enough order for Diana not being able to fulfill it.

Bunny? No. Long ears? Yes. With long hair to boot!

Both!   

My, doesn't Alice look ...nice?   

I audibly gasped loud enough my dog barked... It would seem Diana's words will come back to bite her.

*Hrrk*

The suspense!

Also, Alice is so totally up to something. Look at that smug smile in the last panel.

Oh dear. It really does seem like Alice is up to something.

..."Girls like us"... What could she be--wait, is she going to completely overload Diana with a bajillion orders? But she said she was just ordering one, so perhaps Alice has some different plot in mind. Maybe she's just acting chummy in an attempt to get close to Louis, but I get the feeling her plan goes a bit beyond just that.

Hey, I'm also new (sort of... but I don't think I'm even a month old yet) WE CAN BE NEWBIES TOGETHER *high fives*

Also I think it might still be
A) too many orders?
or
B) she's going to smack her in the face with that "you two dress the exact same" comment earlier :c

Well to be fair, Diana DOES strike you as rather arrogant and vain, though I'm pretty sure she has plenty of good qualities. We may find out Alice is much the same, while she can seem rather mean, she is probably a good person at heart.

Alice doesn't seem bothered at all...

So, I'm just gonna say that I definitely think the "soulless fashion clone" thing is Alice's plan. She's going to get Diana back for saying that about her and her friends. Perhaps she makes a mention of it here in this preview. Just a guess. But it appears that she is saying something snarky and making the girl's behind her feel uncomfortable and/or regret their decision for ordering or liking Diana's fashion.

Well Diana is so smug sometimes that it's just a little hard to feel sorry for her. I mean, take when she was taking off with her mom's good yarn and the smug look she had when Brian said he didn't have time to get after her about the yarn.

Oh, yes. You're absolutely right. So far these girls seem to all be a bit snarky and smug. So, who do you root for? Maybe there really isn't a "good guy" in all of this, but Diana seems to be the main one to root for since she's the protagonist. Plus she's Brian's sister, so that connection gives the general audience another reason to cheer her on.

I'm also using the universal "you" here. XP

But anyway, I think it's good writing and I'm curious to see where this will all end up.

Well the other girls are currently holding the underdog status, since they have lost the verbal fight with Diana on the bus stop. Here's  reason to root for them ;)everyone loves the underdogs (which is ironic, since they are anthropomorphic dogs).

As for what exactly Alice is saying, I'd bet on the "fashion clone" reference and Diana might make the situation worse by offering individually designed outfits for everyone, increasing her workload.

You're soo much better than all these other girls.
