Oh, dear...I suppose it's too much to hope that this is an April Fool's joke and tomorrow's strip will feature Malachi returning the lantern and making up with Linus?
Ok, that's an unexpected turn of events. Can't wait for the next update. What will be Linus reaction, if any? And how far will Malachi go to keep his popularity? Who will knock some sense on him?
"It's party time."
in which tovarisch Malachi organizes a fête to celebrate the taking control of the means of producing a good time from the ne'er-do-well, Linus and friends.
Good for Malachi, all he wanted was to share books with people and he got told off way too late by someone he just wanted to be friends with. He didn't steal the lamp and he has no real reason to give it back.
@scuddles how about him turning the library into a nightclub (which he took advantage of Linus' trust to do in the first place), without taking the necessary precautions to preserve the sanctity of it was the only reason the rest of the campers actually knew about the lamp in the first place?

Wow this makes me sadder haha... I know they are kid's but I keep thinking poor Linus is sulking. Nobody's got his back in a time like this. this is great Katie.
Linus notices the lamp is missing. He shrugs his shoulders, goes to his secret stash of lanterns and lantern oil, gets a new lantern, and all is right with the world.
Real question here; is he really going to do the party or is he going to trick everyone else to get back into Linus's good side? Remember, Linus seems to be something of a local hero for the kid and he loves books. Being banished from the library is not something he'd like.
Malachi is either going to steal the lantern and give it to Linus, or will actually party and this will cause so much commotion that the mess hall will burn down. Lets hope that the mess hall burns, It would suck for the campers, but would hopefully bring them together. I want to see everyone together again.
First time lookin' for a cat while I've been all caught up with the comic as opposed to going back through the archives to spot 'em. Kind of a relief to have the challenge on this side of things. :-) Also: I can think of three or four things for Malachi to be planning/not planning here, and I'm trying to figure out which one I want to read the most.

I'm a fan of the eating sound effects.

They will accidentially set the building on fire. I just know it
Or the mess hall burns down. Or both.
Unless he has a spare lantern, I guess, in which case... oh, I dunno, I'll just wait for Tuesday.
Either way, though, the camp is about to be short a building or three.
Katie and Adam really manage to defy expectations in what we think will happen.
Just kidding.
