Anatomy of a Kitsune - Sheldon® Comic Strip

TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of a Kitsune

DESCRIPTION: An orange fox with 9 tails stands on a rock. She has a glowing purple symbol on her head, and three glowing orbs by her tail - green, pink, and purple.

JOKES:
- A supernatural fox spirit in Japanese folklore, the Kitsune gains more tails as it grows older and more legendary!
- (pointing to previous joke) Just like grandparents and nose hair.
- They can change their shape into anything! Like a politician in an election year!
- Every single Kitsune romantic breakup involves at least four shapeshiftings. Three illusions, two curses, and a dramatic escape from the emperor’s swords.
- When everyone in the friend group knows you’re the “extra” one.
- Kitsune produce “Foxfire”! Balls of light that emanate from their breath and tail. (So they’re half Illuminati, half illuminate-y)
- These things are murder for anything nice you put on your coffee table.
- Has lived for nine centuries but still uses “Password123” for their banking.
- “OHHHHH, I see how Pokemon got invented.” - Everyone
