LOL, genius idea!
She (Zoey) looks way too full of herself in that first panel. It was painful to see.
If Zoey were smarter, she would have simply removed the offending note. Announcing it to the general public is begging for it to stick as a nickname or something. She might just become Zoflat. Nobody want’s to be Zoflat.
That’s mean! XD lolololol.
With her screaming like that I think Zoey descended from Howler Monkeys.
I’d say she’s more like a silverfish (Lepisma saccharina) which, according to Wikipedia, is a cosmopolitan species, found in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and other parts of the Pacific. They’re considered a pest due to conspicuous consumption and destruction of property (out of date mobile phones, perhaps?) but have no effect on human health. Apparently, they can live for a year or more without eating (although that’s probably down to pressure from the fashion industry in her case). >:=)>
It, the lifeform decended from flatworms, is denying pretty hard there. It might be ashamed for it’s ancestors.
Nobody likes Zoey. Ha.
Zoey Irwin, also known as conceitus fullofherselfis.
Larissa. She can turn anything into an art or some type, even if it means taking something else that one might consider art or simple biology/history and using it for the art of mischievous pranking. XD
Larissa, you just got +1 more chaotic.
Oh, don’t take it so hard. Humans share at least 75% of our DNA with flatworms or any given animal species, given that we have the same basic cellular functions and metabolic pathways. From an evolutionary standpoint, if it isn’t broken, why fix it? Besides, it’s not the 25% that makes us different, but the way the other 75% is expressed.
I sort of wish we knew more about Zoey.
The rss feed is showing this comic in german 🙂
I think the third panel just made my day. Larissa is awesome, no questions asked.
Alternate response: ‘that Would explain the flat hair’
@ seppi:
I got the same thing; it’s amusing that the captions are in English even if the comic isn’t.
Huh… the feed shows me the German comic for some reason.
@ Insectoid:
(What’s spooky is I actually understood some of the German… and I know about as much of the language as… well, as a flatworm. 😉
bwahahaha…
wait why am I laughing, that’s a terrible old joke…
still, who cares, it’s funny 😀

Well, it can’t be that hard. Most Germans manage to understand it after all…
(joking! *dodges flak from Oliver* augh jooooking)
I figure you can probably get the gist from there being a tree diagram, a box that has “wurm” in it, Larisa applying another one with Zoey’s name, Zoey shouting something with “nicht”, “von” and “wurm” inamongst the other words, and Liz whispering something about “kommunikaziert” to a long-suffering Sandy… 🙂
The best jokes are largely language independent, unless you’re working in the realm of puns. At which point, they fail to translate at all, but can hotwire your laughter synapses if you do speak the lingo.
“Well, yeah, you don’t think it happened in the last 100 years, do ya?”

People like that do take themselves too seriously.
Which makes them high-priority targets for pranks! Methinks that attitude was there long before Larisa (little minx!) stuck that tag up…
Egomane wrote:
If the flatworms could speak, we’d probably hear various Planaria denying a relationship instead…
………….. because announcing this to the entire place is DEFINITELY a smart idea.
That’s RIGHT Zoey! You aren’t descended from flatworms, you share a recent common ancestor with them. Good to see you’ve been paying attention!
Well, of course she isn’t! Not tapeworms, but from the intestinal bacteria of tapeworms, duh! It is SO obvious!
@ seppi:
I got the email in German, too. 😀
That was great! “It’s” trying to communicate… 😀
Hot girls– we have problems, too!
We’re just like you, except we’re hot hot hot (not).
People should just use their ectoderms
We come from flatworms,
Or platyheminthes in scientific terms

Methinks you have the evolutionary descendence reversed.
And, the more I see of Larisa’s antics, the more I wish she was around when I was still in school…
Meh. For a Larissa-style burn, this is kind of tame.
Has this Zoey girl showed up before? Has she done something to deserve this?

Yes.

What I’d like to know is….what exactly did Zoey do to be designated as the villain of this comic? Every single strip with her save for one has her as the victim of Larisa’s antics, which leads me to believe that -Larisa- is the one who’s bullying her, not the other way around.
@ AckAckAck:
All we have is Larisa’s word of mouth saying that Zoey has it in for her. I’m sure that whatever she did does -not- call for her breaking into Zoey’s home and turning off her heat. As a matter of fact, I’m beginning to believe that Larisa’s actually a bully, and Zoey is acting like a bitch because she resents how she’s being treated by her.
Lest we forget, Larisa made her eat her homework once. That is just cruel.
I’d say more like flobberworms.
AckAckAck wrote:
Huh. Okay. I’m still not sure she actually deserved Larisa’s enmity, though.
How much you wanna bet that Zoey has it out for Larisa because Larisa has it out for Zoey, because she has it out for Larisa, because she has it out for Zoey…
Vengence is a vicious and hard-to-follow cycle. e.e

Zoey is prissy, egocentric, and full of herself – makes her a high-priority target, as I mentioned.
I wouldn’t call this “enmity” or “animosity” – just the pranking that she so richly deserves (I’m an old non-com – O-3 and under with similar attitudes got it, only moreso. Military pranking, especially in the field, is several orders of magnitude worse!)
Sometimes two humans just hate each other on sight. I’m assuming that’s the reason.

A self-fulfilling prophecy that heterodynes itself as well? Yeah, I can see that.

I’ve run into that – “personality conflict.”
The only problem is that it’s invariably happened with people I work for – which makes work just oh, so much FUN…
Ry Rodriguez wrote:
I think Zoey deserve it. While Larissa keep her acts for herself and not targeting other students but Zoey and Michelle love to gossips or even insult others. They even hate Sandra for hooking up with Cloud.

@ AckAckAck:
Ohhh, THAT Zoey! She’s just so forgettable, she never made much of an impression on me. X) *sunny smile*
@ JKelley:
I see your point, but I’d like to raise you another: Given the extreme nature of Larisa getting back at her, compared to what amounts to teasing from Zoey, how do we know she isn’t just a jerk (well, more of a jerk) because she deeply resents the way Larisa treats her, and by extension, Sandra, because she’s befriending somebody she doesn’t like?
Um… Powree? Why is there a box with lines to two evolutionary branches?
@ Ry Rodriguez:
Actually, I think Larisa treats Zoey this way because of how Zoey treats Sandra. In essence, Zoey bullies Sandra, so Larisa bullies Zoey.
Shakespeare had the right of it:
“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” (Hamlet)
OH come on. Clearly that’s a slander on flatworms.
@ demarion:
Actually, tapeworms don’t have intestines. They don’t have a digestive tract, which is why they’re parasitic.
actualy, i love planarias. I f you cut them in two, each part become a new planaria and all parts, not only the part who had the brain, still remenbering reflexes acquired when they were a single worm.
