Yeah remember when Eve was super cynical and frowny most of the time? Whereas Hannah would get stoned and jump out windows and jeeezus what has happened to these characters.
In the earlier strips, Eve just broke up with her crappy boyfriend (the one that came after Eve and Park's first break-up), while Hanna was in a loving relationship.
Currently everything is sort of the opposite. Of course, it's more nuanced than that but that's what I can see. Plus, it's fun to see how dynamic these characters are and it feels really organic. Meredith is really a great story-teller. 🙂
I just keep looking at this, over and over, in joy and awe, and now there are tears in my eyes. Meredith Gran you are a treasure and a perfect cinnamon bun.
Secret menus are a selection of items that aren't present on the regular menu, but the restaurant/coffee shop/whatever has the capacity to prepare and you can still order them if you know what they are.
For example: Starbucks has the Cap'n Crunch Frappuccino, Burger King has the Suicide Burger, and In-N-Out Burger has the Animal Fries.
Arianod
All of which means extra work for the staff if you order from it, right?
philae
Exactly. So if a person wants to order from the "secret menu." they should do the following:
1) Don't try it at rush hour or right before closing time
2) Tip well
3) Be aware that the "secret menus" are invented by Tublr randos, so they're not an official thing at all
4) Be super gracious if the staff don't want to prepare your weird thing.
Dang it, Gran, this whole storyline had the best pages around – the subway trip, the Jane Goes Home page, the Previous page of this one, and, over all, above in the clouds-…
So, I just spend hours reading through this amazing webcomic. The problems these character face is something I found myself being able to relate to on multiple occations. This is pretty much one of my favorite comics on the net now. Astonishing characters, excellent writing and great art. THANK YOU!
I'm quite new to this comic series, I caught up on it all last week and I'm in love with the characters and story. Meredith you are very good at making your characters feel real and relatable and I look forward to following this comic.

LITERALLY ME. THROUGHOUT THIS. ENTIRE. STORY.
Why Cello There!
SAAAAAME! :3 They’re so cute together, I love this arc! Also, Eve turned into the magical shipping fairy which is the best.
Nana
This is the single best thing I have ever read
Vabolo
I can't handle how amazing Eve's expressions are in this. The turning into a faerie part? SO PERFECT
Hedgewolf
Eve be like: bitch please, going faboulus! Love the design on this one!
Yotomoe
Eve has been becoming more and more hana while Hana has become more and more Eve over time.

Froglike Eve on the counter in the last panel is a visual representation of the Octopus Pie readershiiiiiiiiiiiiip oh my GOD
Dotcom
It totally reminds me of Ponyo! 😀
thistemporarylifeblog
She reminded me of Aogaeru from Spirited Away, personally <3
Matt
I say this as a longtime fan whose favourite online comic is Octopus Pie:
THIS IS THE BEST SINGLE COMIC IN THE HISTORY OF ALL HUMANITY
Brilliant characterization in every panel! Bravissimo!
aqwaplop
The diamond mouth in the second panel! What is it reminding me of?? Yotsuba?
Guest
This is what it reminded me of. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view3/4282464/lsp-oh-m…
@Jalathas
I don't know about that one specifically, but Eve is looking pretty Ponyo in this comic in general.
@1CanadianGamer
Comics are over, it's not getting any better than this, everyone go home.
Spectacles
I was looking at Eve's face in the previous comment and I was like "she ships it." GUESS I WAS MORE ACCURATE THAN I THOUGHT
joe
Eve doesn't just ship it, she insta-express-overnight-airmail ships it! The whole comic is amazing beyond words.
cwbuecheler
This is great. 🙂
For some reason Marek's expression of mild horror at Eve, in panel six, is killing me.
jeybork
"mild horror", I love it
Arianod
What about Mar's face in panel five ^^
Julia
So much Ponyo on this page!
Ponyooooooo
Aubrey
PFFFFFT Eve is turning more and more into a literal cartoon character with each appearance she's making
Dotcom
OMG! It's Fairy Ponyo Eve!!! <3
Torrent core
Froglike Eve on the counter in the last panel is a visual representation of the Octopus Pie readershiiiiiiiiiiiiip oh my GOD
Dotcom
And I love Marek's reaction, too. He is ultra adorable in the first frame. Perhaps he is referring to himself. 🙂
Lazarus872
Here’s hoping Marigold’s expression of good-humored-yet-slightly-creeped-out patience lasts…
Also Eve, you need to harness that power for everyday use. Think of the savings on commuting!
Copycat
I love how Eve turns into a cartoon character whenever she gets really excited.

I just keep looking at this, over and over, in joy and awe, and now there are tears in my eyes. Meredith Gran you are a treasure and a perfect cinnamon bun.
nha
this over abundance of marek eyes is somewhat unsettling but ultimately another thing that makes this page great
nalem
Meredith, you outdo yourself with every page. This comic just gets better and better all the time. It's like a fine wine! 🙂

This is my favorite OP page ever.
greengeekgirl
I can't decide which part of this I like the most. It's amaaaaazing.

This is soooo fantastic; the Eve drawings are so great.
This is exactly how I feel when my friends start dating people as well, haha.

Mr Shine

Arianod
Ship it, Eve! SHIP IT WITH THE FORCE OF A THOUSAND SUNS!!!
lizza
This is the best comic ever. Her expression and the "flappa flappa" are my favorite.
joe
Flappa Flappa made me laugh, I want fairy godmother eve on a mug/shirt/tattoo
Brittany
Or a Christmas ornament! ?
jonathanbruder
Second panel is like me every morning. Must shirt.
Copycat
"I was just looking up your secret menu."
A lot of your background characters are embodiments of things I dislike about people.
I love it. I love it so much.
Arianod
Then maybe you could explain what the "secret menu" thingie is about? :3
Copycat

Oh my god Butterfly of Happiness! I was grinning like mad at the first panel, but the sudden transformation and everything after nearly did me in!
Zoop
Character developments are weird, at first, Eve used to be bitter and cynical, now she's a magical rainbow fairy
Dotcom
Because now she's experienced "The Power of Friendship"! 😀
Seriously, people can change (in positive and fun ways) when they go from friendless to finding a nice circle of friends. BTDT.
phatnes
Read this, was all like FLAPPA FLAPPA FLAPPA
CaC
I have been waiting for this comic my entire life
Snaduko
this was something else jaja
Squirrelmaster
HEY! LISTEN!
andrechurros
Now that everyone already expressed how they are amazed by Eve's reaction (I'm as much as you all!), there is still a question in the air:
What is Marek doing back in the US?
granulac
He didn\’t leave the US… I\’m not sure why people think that! :0
phatnes
I think it's because he mentioned living with his parents again, and they speak Polish with each other; and also he moved totally out of sight.
Carey
IIRC, Marek and Hanna broke up because Hanna didn't want kids (and Marek did)…not because Marek had to leave the US.
Chris
I'm glad that random stuff like this just happens for no reason.
Arianod
What do you mean "for no reason"?? MAR AND JANE ARE AN ITEM!!!!! :DDDDDD
Ehhhh
So does this mean Hanna’s going to turn into some kind of rage demon
Arianod
I'm betting on a dragon.
Max
Dang it, Gran, this whole storyline had the best pages around – the subway trip, the Jane Goes Home page, the Previous page of this one, and, over all, above in the clouds-…
