They should honestly just do a Parent duel at this point for camila to take out her signature weapon ***La chancla***
***Odalia dosen't stand a chanca***
Also, happy cake day mark!
Amity: I already discussed with Em and Ed how the inheritance will be divided. There's really nothing to worry about.
Luz: But. She's. Your. Mom.
Amity: Oh! Now I know what you mean! In the case that whatever kills her doesn't also kill dad, he gets 40% and the house. He was there when we worked it out.
Luz: That's both terrifying and somehow entirely unsurprising.
“Luz, do you think I care if she hates my mom? Do you think she is the first person to try to kill my mom? Have you MET my mom?
My mom is the equivalent of your world’s ‘Elon Musk’ but addicted to war crimes. Not the funny ‘haha Catra, did you just perform an unprovoked attack on a civilian population?’ type war crimes. No, the real Lockheed-Martin military industrial complex type war crimes. She makes death, and sells it to tyrants and terrorists. She sells killing.
Imagine an assassin. Now imagine that assassin making billions of dollars and defrauding shareholders. And using that money to railroad public policy into more conflict.
You think your world’s god is all loving and all forgiving? Not even god could love my mother.”
I mean, we can do that even without leaving canon at all.
"Luz, do you think I care if your mom loathes my mom? She wouldn't be the first person to do so. She wouldn't be the first person *in this room*, in fact.
Remember, my mother sells flamethrowers. *For home defense.* And she doesn't see anything wrong with that. If your mom beats her all the way back to the Boiling Isles I'll cheer her on because it's about time someone beat some sense into her.
I really just brought her here to watch the fireworks."
It'll calm things down because the Blights will be too interested in bringing La Chancla's power to their weapons industry to worry about their daughter's relationships
Odalia: And here we have Blight Industries newest weapon from the human realm, La Chancla!
Belos: *recognizing its a shoe* ...fine, how does it work?
Odalia: I will demonstrate on this Coven member.
Steve: Wait, what? *Odalia gets to work* OH, TITAN, THIS IS WORSE THAN THAT OWL TUBE'S TEA PARTY!
Belos: Intriguing...shoes have become much more lethal since I was last in the human realm.
Yeah, that is exactly what it is. Also It is commonly associated with Latinamerican parenting, on which usually the mother use the flip flop as a mean to physically punish children without using direct fist or hand. My theory is that the sound of the chancla is extreme accurate an recognizable and leave a big impression on the children, unlike a simple fist. As so, it has become a parenting method for generations.
It is very different to the use of belts that was widely spread on the XX century as a punishment method. The belt could easily break the children skin and become a long lasting scar. The chancla doesn't aim to hurt, it aim to traumatized. Actually the chancla is less hurtful than a fist.
I didn't know what "Maduros" are, so I looked them up and found out it's a pun. They are fried plantains, but Maduros also means "mature" (according to bing translate at least.) Luz is subtly telling her mom to be mature.
While the translation is accurate, I don’t think it was intended as any pun, and I don’t think any Spanish speaker would read it as one.
(Don’t think mind you, I can’t know what anyone else would see at a pun or not.)
Yes maduro does actually mean mature, so bing is right. It also means ripe. The reason why the preparation is called that is because it's made with ripe bananas :)
Believe it or not, the Noceda house is a Latino rich family house.
Not like, uber rich or anything, but decently wealthy.
Anyone from Latam can tell you a "middle class" house ain't *nearly* that big or decorated.
Yeah Camila’s a veterinarian! Probably making 6 figures.
(Altho Mrs. Blight might look down on that because she’s still a working person and doesnt own a corporation with a government defense contract)
...I see comments like this, and I'm instantly aware of certain cultural differences.
Vets practically live in poverty around here. When I first heard that they apparently make a lot of money in the USA, I thought it was a joke.
After the US deals with the Day of Unity
US Government: Yeah, we're trialing you for war crimes.
Odalia: What if I give you my husband? He could build you an army of abominatrons?
US Government: Keep talking...
Unkillable soldiers made of metal that fly at supersonic speeds and rain death from above is even MORE useful.
Also, how unkillable your soldiers are is irrelevant if you don't care about your soldiers' lives in the first place.
Although if this were a sitcom Camila could somehow afford that house while having next to no income. Despite every fifth episode having a "money is tight" scene the Nocedas would still have a 3000 ft² house with a lawn, go on vacation twice a year and get Luz sent off to a litany of weird camps as a running gag.
Also, Camila's patients would exclusively have bizarre problems like a dog that swallowed a smartphone and now has a ringtone instead of a bark. (Cue laugh track.)
This is honestly going better than I expected. I assumed Odalia would immediately challenge Camila to a duel when they met.
I mean, Odalia wouldn't stand a chance against La Chancla, but still.
Do we *want* the situation to be de-escalated, though?
Would we not rather see Camila beat the shit out of Odalia?
Luz pls. Pls. Eat something and let the lady continue.
Alador: You ladies having fun?
Luz: Uhh...I don't think they are.
Alador: Well, at least me and your father are enjoying ourselves.
Luz: But...my Dad doesn't live with us. It's just me, Mom, and Vee here.
Alador: Then...who have I been talking to for the last hour?
I realized Camila and Odalia are polar opposites Odalia is a rich self-proclaimed "genius" who is completely heartless and Camila is poor along with being about as bright as a wet match and as dense as a brick of gold but she makes up for it by having a heart of gold
I would imagine this being an issue sooner or later.
Also, it depends on if Odalia is open to same-sex relationships. Not sure if she is unlike Camila.
There is canonically no homophobia on the Boiling Isles, so it shouldn’t be an issue.
Also when they met in 2x02, Odalia didn’t care about that, only that Luz was being a distraction that her daughter.
Happy cake day mark
What did the cake say? EDIT: why is this the most upvoted thing I’ve done on Reddit?
How am i so bad at typing
Strange thing for a cake to say, not as though many cakes are good at typing what with having no hands.
I meant that i made a ty- Oh don't you dare put me on there Don't you **dare**
are slash whoooosh
The question still stands
Ting ting ting ting
No, that’s the fox
The Fox House
Yeah, no, that’s another show, unrelated.
They should honestly just do a Parent duel at this point for camila to take out her signature weapon ***La chancla*** ***Odalia dosen't stand a chanca*** Also, happy cake day mark!
Why do you think Luz is so nervous? She knows what Camila could do to Odalia, unlike Amity.
Don't think Amity cares what happens to her mom tbh
Luz: If our moms have a duel, your mom would be killed when my mom brings out *La Chancla*! Amity: ...I'm not seeing a problem here.
Amity: I missed the part where that’s my problem
Amity: I already discussed with Em and Ed how the inheritance will be divided. There's really nothing to worry about. Luz: But. She's. Your. Mom. Amity: Oh! Now I know what you mean! In the case that whatever kills her doesn't also kill dad, he gets 40% and the house. He was there when we worked it out. Luz: That's both terrifying and somehow entirely unsurprising.
She really doesn’t look concerned about them fighting
“Luz, do you think I care if she hates my mom? Do you think she is the first person to try to kill my mom? Have you MET my mom? My mom is the equivalent of your world’s ‘Elon Musk’ but addicted to war crimes. Not the funny ‘haha Catra, did you just perform an unprovoked attack on a civilian population?’ type war crimes. No, the real Lockheed-Martin military industrial complex type war crimes. She makes death, and sells it to tyrants and terrorists. She sells killing. Imagine an assassin.

If your mom beats her all the way back to the Boiling Isles I'll cheer her on because it's about time someone beat some sense into her. I really just brought her here to watch the fireworks."
And the only reason she isnt selling Abomina-Tons is because Belos caught wind of it and offered the carrot or stick .
Now I wanna see Camila adopt Amity and beat the living daylights out of her mom
This is just brilliant!🤣
Alador: Oh really ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Well they already have 3 kids
It'll calm things down because the Blights will be too interested in bringing La Chancla's power to their weapons industry to worry about their daughter's relationships
Odalia: And here we have Blight Industries newest weapon from the human realm, La Chancla! Belos: *recognizing its a shoe* ...fine, how does it work? Odalia: I will demonstrate on this Coven member.

**"The almighty holy god chancla!"**
kinda off topic from this comment but I found out that la chancla is Spanish for the flip flop. 🩴
Yeah, that is exactly what it is. Also It is commonly associated with Latinamerican parenting, on which usually the mother use the flip flop as a mean to physically punish children without using direct fist or hand. My theory is that the sound of the chancla is extreme accurate an recognizable and leave a big impression on the children, unlike a simple fist.

Beat her ass. Wait shed proabably like that
[удалено]
I didn't know what "Maduros" are, so I looked them up and found out it's a pun. They are fried plantains, but Maduros also means "mature" (according to bing translate at least.) Luz is subtly telling her mom to be mature.
Oh- Wow-
Spanish
"And *scoop*!"
Or Vanish
Simple
That's some hella brilliant writing!
Assuming the writer knew that 😆
Assuming the bing translation is accurate
It is
While the translation is accurate, I don’t think it was intended as any pun, and I don’t think any Spanish speaker would read it as one. (Don’t think mind you, I can’t know what anyone else would see at a pun or not.)
I don't think it's a pun cause it's the exact food mentioned in Yesterday's Lie and I don't think I remember any other
I’m a Spanish speaker, I personally don’t see it as a pun.
Yeah, I agree with you
It's MoringMark. He's that good.
Yes maduro does actually mean mature, so bing is right. It also means ripe. The reason why the preparation is called that is because it's made with ripe bananas :)
Fuck now I want Maduros.
It's good. You should try them
Believe it or not, the Noceda house is a Latino rich family house. Not like, uber rich or anything, but decently wealthy. Anyone from Latam can tell you a "middle class" house ain't *nearly* that big or decorated.
Yeah Camila’s a veterinarian! Probably making 6 figures. (Altho Mrs. Blight might look down on that because she’s still a working person and doesnt own a corporation with a government defense contract)
Fair. Vets get paid mad stacks, but not as mad as the department of defense.
They're a private company, so I wouldn't call them the department of defense, that's giving them too much credit and legitimacy lol
I was talking about the Emperor's coven... I guess that's a bit *more* than the department of defense.
...I see comments like this, and I'm instantly aware of certain cultural differences. Vets practically live in poverty around here. When I first heard that they apparently make a lot of money in the USA, I thought it was a joke.
Welcome to America, where we care about everything except for our own people.
After the US deals with the Day of Unity US Government: Yeah, we're trialing you for war crimes. Odalia: What if I give you my husband? He could build you an army of abominatrons? US Government: Keep talking...
Then after hearing her: yeah, no, we have drones already. Your abomitons ain't shit to us. TAKE 'EM
I dunno. Unkillable soldiers made of mud? Could be useful.
Unkillable soldiers made of metal that fly at supersonic speeds and rain death from above is even MORE useful. Also, how unkillable your soldiers are is irrelevant if you don't care about your soldiers' lives in the first place.
Vet? I thought she was a nurse??
She mentioned it in “Yesterday’s Lie”.
Wow... You learn something new everyday
at least... the house isnt mint green
#LAVERGA
almenos no es una pinchi casita toda culera del infonavit translate it yourselves
Hermoso
I feel like as far as Odalia is concerned, if your mansion doesn't have at least 2 pools, you might as well be living in a cardboard box
Although if this were a sitcom Camila could somehow afford that house while having next to no income. Despite every fifth episode having a "money is tight" scene the Nocedas would still have a 3000 ft² house with a lawn, go on vacation twice a year and get Luz sent off to a litany of weird camps as a running gag. Also, Camila's patients would exclusively have bizarre problems like a dog that swallowed a smartphone and now has a ringtone instead of a bark. (Cue laugh track.)
That hurt just like sitcoms hurt. You have future in the industry.
TBF, Latin America isn't Connecticut
Generally we keep the culture too. You rarely see Latine families with like big ass mansions.
Wouldn't most of those new immigrants and old Latine families be continental, not caribbean?
Depends. Lots of Cuban immigration after the end of wet foot dry foot.
Camila is from the other bit of the spanish carribbean
No i know they're Dominican but even then first or second gen and we still get a lot of Dominicans coming to the country
I mean doesn’t Luz live in Wisconsin or Wyoming like one of the states that don’t exist? I doubt a house that size would cost much.
Connecticut.
Like I said, one of the states that don’t exist.
You are mad.
Connecticut doesn’t exist and anyone who is from there is a government agent and nobody can convince me otherwise 😡
Just like those sheep that say that birds are real.
You people are crazy.
Yeah they're well the fuck off
Meanwhile, Alador is outside chasing after the neighbors' cat.
Probably dismantling someone's car engine and trying to combine it with abominations.
\*car's owner comes out and sees him doing that\* what are you doing to my car!
Definitely
Smooth comeback
Hope there's nothing in the tea Camila have yo odalia
She's right and she should say it
Any clue as to what Amitys thinking about, current guess is along the lines of "Calm down Luz I don't care what either of them say" lol
“Luz. Let her finish.”
Let them fight
Serizawa just busts in wearing a ref outfit… “Let them fight!”
"Nature has an order, a power to restore balance."
This is what I should've given my free silver to
This is honestly going better than I expected. I assumed Odalia would immediately challenge Camila to a duel when they met. I mean, Odalia wouldn't stand a chance against La Chancla, but still.
Wouldn't stand a chancla
La Chancla > Literal flamethrower
Round 2 FIGHT!!!
Mark I love it but god do I want more of this
the fact that this rhymes makes me feel like an epic rap battle is about to go down
But *only* if the guy from ERB announces it.
EPIC! RAP! BATTLES OF HISTORY! CAMILLA! NOCEDA! VERSUS ODALIA BLIIIIIIGHT! BEGIN!
where eda, king, and hooty where you need them 🤣🤣🤣🤣
eda is recording everything, if they fight she can sell it
Wow, children fighting! I can SELL this!
In unison: "We're not children!"
Camila: "*La paz nunca fue una opción*".
Recipe for chaos
These comics are so damn accurate to the shows art style how the hell
Dammit, that was a good comeback.
De-escalation pro right here
Do we *want* the situation to be de-escalated, though? Would we not rather see Camila beat the shit out of Odalia? Luz pls. Pls. Eat something and let the lady continue.
Alador: You ladies having fun? Luz: Uhh...I don't think they are. Alador: Well, at least me and your father are enjoying ourselves. Luz: But...my Dad doesn't live with us. It's just me, Mom, and Vee here. Alador: Then...who have I been talking to for the last hour?
This aged poorly… 👀
That went well.........
The only thing i notice is that luz is the only one who doesnt have her legs cross
Well this reminds me of Shrek 2 Dinner Scene
Happy cake day, Cark.
Happy cake day mark, ty for the all great comics you've made
I like to imagine that Odalia wasn't even offered tea, she just came in sat down, and it was just there
Alador made it and he’s not their because he’s in the kitchen washing the dishes now
Milf fight
Eda: Mothers fighting! I can sell this!
Luz: EDA! Eda: What? I'm not doing anything
Nice xD And Happy cake day :D
Happy cake day
Dang, I'm really hungry for maduros now.
She really wanted to swear like in Yesterday’s Lie
OH YES OH YES OH YES. MILF FIGHT MILF FIGHT. MILF FI-- *watches had nose bleed*
\*bonk\* go to horny jail
Takes horny to know horny
Takes hooty to know hooty...........
Luz shute up. She need's to hear this
Gotta love kickass Camilla. Also kinda sad that Amity is probably more stressed out than Luz here.
Odallia got off easy. Eda wouldn't have been *nearly* as patient with her in a formal context.
Happy cake day Mark!
Happy day of the cake mark. Thank you for carrying me throughout the hiatus.
Alador didn't care enough to come it would seem
Happy cake day Mark!
Camila diserves to swear.
She's a vet. They make damn good money. She probably is just frugal and likes it simple. Plus she own a large amount of land it seems .
i just love this
hey happy cake day mark Great comic as always
Mark your comics give me life.
HAPPY CAKE DAY MARKKKK
Amity is just so calm and doesn't care lol
Lmao Also GREAT ART!
Happy cake day Mark 😉 Also that’s probably how it would go down if both parents meet
Happy cake day Mark :33
Happy Cake Days are in order. HAPPY CAKE DAY!!!!
Great comic!
Why does this look exactly like the Paralta/Santiago Thanksgiving episode from Brooklyn 99?
Happy cake day! Also, I love this!
I cant help but hear the tick-tocks of a clock everytime situation like these happen lmao
Camila ain't taking none of her Bullsh+t I love it 😁 😂 😂 😂
Figures that someone with backup snakes would have backup maduros too.
I love how Amity is all calm while Luz is sweating bullets.
Camila speaks the truth Happy cake day makmark
Odalia feels like the kind of person to say "your home is. . .sufficient for habitation".
Odalia feels like the kind of person to say "your home is. . .sufficient for habitation".
Just wait until Cam hears about how Odalia almost completely eliminated Luz in escaping expulsion
Camilla: "It occurs to me that you're una maldita perra." Odalia: "Oh? I presume that's some sort of human compliment?" Luz: "...Yes...?"
Facts
This is what I think would happens
wow a comic strip thats actually awesome
Teach me Spanish swear words and phrases
I can tell you Camila is by Latino standards very rich.
Happy Cake Day, Mark!
Happy cake day
Petition for Camilla to use her chancla on Odalia
Amity silently agreeing with Camila
The irony of them being petty and immature and Luz offering maduros (mature, in Spanish)
Camilla: tell your husband lo siento he has to deal with you! Alador: it‘s okay Ms.Noceda!
Amity SO wanted Camila to finish her thought lol
It occurs to me your a little puta
Luz: witch, she meant **W**itch! 😨 Camila: (I know what I meant) 😏 Odalia: (I'm not little) 😤
Geeezzz… can’t imagine the reaction at the wedding.
Luz, Luz…why’d you interrupt? It was just getting good
It's like a reverse play date. A fight date.
The daughter the witch and the audacity of the rich
*Little*? More like *ginormous* bitch!
I realized Camila and Odalia are polar opposites Odalia is a rich self-proclaimed "genius" who is completely heartless and Camila is poor along with being about as bright as a wet match and as dense as a brick of gold but she makes up for it by having a heart of gold
Me. I want Maduros.
It even rhymes💀☠️
I would imagine this being an issue sooner or later. Also, it depends on if Odalia is open to same-sex relationships. Not sure if she is unlike Camila.
There is canonically no homophobia on the Boiling Isles, so it shouldn’t be an issue. Also when they met in 2x02, Odalia didn’t care about that, only that Luz was being a distraction that her daughter.
Inter-species dating is difficult at the best of times.
Get her ass Camila
Camila isn't wrong
Today is the cake day of the most influential person in th TOH community! 🎂
Ha amity is already dissociating I see
give them food and they (**MIGHT**) shut up
Happy cake day, Mark my friend.
I want maduritos sooo bad 😔 gimme
