It's "Is just a baby". Looks like Paz is as strong in English as Anja was in her age, which is to say, not very.
Also, "Everything looks a little ugly at first" looks definitely like the moral lesson of this chapter which Kat, and the readers, will learn and it will improve their lives.

Well, it certainly explains my baby pictures.  |

Where are they? Paz's wearing an apron, and there are jars on the countertop, so maybe a kitchen?

HAH THAT'S NOT A METAPHOR FOR KAT OR ANYTHING, WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?
Also, second to last panel, Paz stares into your soul.

It does look like my highschool science classroom, with all the cupboards and countertops. I think I can see a pestle and mortar to the far right middle in panel four. Either that, or it is a kitchen and that's a bowl with a spoon in it. Tom's backgrounds are a little ambiguous at times. I think he does it just to give us GC freaks eyestrain. |

I dunno. reading that quote somehow made me thing about Anglerfish. This negated all potential of a moral lesson being learned for me. Proof once again that reading too much internet will destroy all that is pure and good inside you. |

True, that.I was thinking a veterinary clinic, too, but we'll see, won't we? Goodness, though, Paz is a cutie. ;D

Paz is immune to bad luck as long has she holds the bird.
As soon as she puts it back in the box, hillarious slapstick will ensue.

Nice visual trick, making sure that robot is just over Paz's shoulder when she says that  Also, Kat has the cutest sad face in panel three. |

i think everyone is missing the most interesting thing about this page. Paz has been on-screen for a whole page, and she hasn't yet gotten scared, disappointed, or kidnapped.
Its a first in this comic.

The big question in this chapter (for now): why did the baby pigeon's parents abandon it? Since its appearance is normal for baby pigeons, Kat's speculation that they turned their backs on it because of its ugliness can be ruled out. The most likely explanation I can think of is that they were powerless to help it - but they didn't even seem to be trying. (I also thought of the possibility of some fatal accident happening to them while Kat was in the workshop - say, Winsbury happening by with a new BB gun that he wanted to try out - but we haven't seen the bodies.)

The big question in this chapter (for now): why did the baby pigeon's parents abandon it? They're probably either: - ex-humans who want their child to grow up in the human world,
- frat pigeons involved in a bizarre hazing ritual,
- transpigeonists who want Kat to add some robot bits to their baby,
- a metaphor for the cold harshness of reality. And also pigeons.
Although I'm not sure whether the parents can really do anything airlifting-wise if a chick falls out of the nest, in general. |

Wild birds will abandon any chick that gets interfered with by humans. Plus, pigeons aren't great at lifting, so they wouldn't have been able to do anything anyway.
Also, I really think that place looks like a veterinary clinic. It makes sense, what with Paz's abilities.

I think not! (The only creeper around here is Jack.) |

"Everything looks a little ugly at first"
It's true, ever seen a brand new baby? It's a white and pasty and slimy and wrinkly and it's head is misshapen and weird, you have to wait a while and clean it off until it becomes not-ugly.

What I've noticed about this comic is that Paz seems pretty comfy is where ever she is (I agree it looks like a Vet clinic place) And we have yet to see any adults.
Kat has her shop, Paz has her clinic, looks like some of the students are finding places where they fit in the court.

They students started out as a bunch of kids living together in questionably unsafe bunkbed dorms and going to classes. Now they are steadily becoming young people getting a feel for their own identities and feeling out what they want to grow up to do. Have you noticed that excepting the mention of detention, we haven't seen much in the way of classes for some time now? |

Could Paz be any cuter than she is in today's comic? I submit to you, my friends, that she could not. (Kat too, of course, but that is expected. Come on, tell me you don't want to just give them both a pat on the head right now.)

Kat is so confused by baby birds.
I'm wondering about Annie's detention. Presumably it's of the form that she must sit and study for a long time. Yuck, book learning only. Surely she gets to go free at some point in the day. I hope she's able to be part of this chapter.
