167 – Tammy the Werewolf
Aren’t female werewolves supposed to be called wifwolves? “wer” means “man” while “wif” means “woman” in Old English, thus werewolf is man-wolf. Saying “wifwolf” does sound silly though, or maybe it’s because I’m not just used to it.

[Hibi explains what happened so far...]
Tammy: Why am I the only one who was turned into a fur- A WEREWOLF?! Why not a mermaid instead?
Keith: Oh I dunno, it's not too bad!
Cruz: Who's a goooood girl?
Tammy: GRR!!
Hibi-Hibi: I know someone who can help... probably! But we should check your camera first. Here, take it.
Hibi-Hibi: Seeing the photos of the moon might break the two boys' curses.
Tammy: Okay. Let's see...
Also, why would anyone want to be a mermaid instead? That would suck WAY more, in so many ways!
You missed an opportunity here. Instead of patronizing her, they should just straight up compliment her and say she actually looks very cute like this, and then she would say “really?” while vigorously wagging her tail, and then when she realizes what she’s doing, she would get extremely embarrassed. That would be funny and better for the character images. Teasing someone in some minor embarrassing situation may be reasonable up to a point, but there’s a certain point, where “teasing” them over something sufficiently drastic just detracts from what I think of them as a character.
werewolf, man-wolf as in human? idk

I just wanted to use wifwolf cause I think it’s interesting. And if no one’s using it, maybe now’s the best time to use it then!
Also, Myan’s flat look in the second panel, as Tammy receives head pats which rightfully belong to Myan.
😒
Just be glad the camera isn’t a touchscreen. Furry pawfingers might not work on a capacitive screen.
Edit: Is she putting on stockings or taking them off? I could understand them being itchy on furry legs.
They might still work if she uses her new paw pads though… but if wolf pads are similar to dog pads (which are harder than cats), then they might not work!
She’s taking them off since her new claws put holes in them, and yes, they are uncomfortable and hot with her fur now.
Kinda hope Tammy remains a werewolf, at least in the sense that she transforms under the full moon and not that she remains fuzzy all the time.
I was actually considering that before you mentioned it. Well, the Episode still has a couple of pages before I decide.
Cool. Maybe Tammy was always a werewolf, but never had a proper catalyst for the transformation. Calls her parents, “Oh, yeah, your great-grandfather was a werewolf. Sometimes it skips a generation of three. Sorry about not telling you.”
But in all honesty, I like the idea as it makes the world just a bit bigger: magic, spirits, and now werewolves? what other things do we not see, what else is there to encounter?
Does “wer” mean specifically the gender definition or could it be used like in “mankind”?
Yeah, gender. Apparently, men were referred as “werman” and woman as “wifman”, or something like that. Language evolved, and the “wer” was dropped from “werman”, which sounds a lot like the “woman” of today, but I forgot if it’s related.
Meanwhile, “wif” is now used for “wife”… if I remember correctly.
That’s really interesting!
Right? Bravest Warriors surprised me by busting out ‘merewyf’ though apparently she was considered not old enough to drive in her culture so I dunno if maid would have suited her better or what.
what is a merewyf? What is Bravest Warriors? What do you mean by “maid would have suited her better?”
Bravest Warriors, a Youtube series made by the creator of Adventure Time.
Dunno if that’s related though, since they could’ve just made up the name.
