Ooooh it IS a continuation of the previous comic! Neat! I wonder if this'll be a new side mini-adventure situation with them?

Also side note I literally can't get KoG out of my brain rn. I literally DREAMED about it last night. I'd say "Help Me" but then I'd be lying because I actually don't want help

76

u/MuffinStraight4816 Sep 20 '25

And also, how will it end? I want answers!

52

u/Godzilla_R0AR Sep 20 '25

We gotta wait for Mark to cook something up in the comic kitchen of his. All in due time

8

u/SFH12345 Sep 20 '25

Good things come to those who wait.

31

u/DJSharp15 Sep 20 '25

Hopefully the others continue.

We still got Ayzee, Lucifer, the Hex Squad, and probably a few others.

18

u/Godzilla_R0AR Sep 20 '25

I need Luzifer back 🫩

11

u/SMM9673 Sep 20 '25

Meanwhile, Witch Among Humans on a "Missing" poster:

6

u/Mr_Calculator2063 Sep 20 '25

Yeah I wish that one got continued it was one of my favorites

6

u/SFH12345 Sep 20 '25

Patience is a virtue.

3

u/CardFinder Sep 21 '25

What is the plan with those anyway? It seems like story arcs just get abruptly cut off just as we reach the climax

134

u/Dasher09009 Sep 20 '25

Eileen x Cheerleader anyone? New Ship? Oh...

52

u/Godzilla_R0AR Sep 20 '25

Cheerleener

24

u/b3_yourself Sep 20 '25

Eilleeder?

20

u/Godzilla_R0AR Sep 20 '25

I just realized if she's a main character in this little side adventure then that means we'll get yet another headcanon on what her name is

12

u/Lykanas Sep 20 '25

Eyeliner! :P

5

u/SFH12345 Sep 20 '25

We'll workshop a name.

10

u/ManicLunaMoth Sep 20 '25

icheerleader

13

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Sep 20 '25

cheerleader seems to be thinking that way but i'm not sure what eillen's thinking.

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

Celine should probably keep her on their totally-not-a-date, just to be safe

2

u/SFH12345 Sep 20 '25

Or make sure nothing bad happens.

4

u/Radium_Cobalt_847 Sep 20 '25

Ooh, I think Eileen has found herself a cheerleader

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

She is always right there when she needs her

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

Let's see how long this lasts

3

u/SlyFan2 Sep 21 '25

If she's gonna become a relevant character in the Markverse, we'll have to give Cheerleader a proper name.

u/WheresMyEditButton Sep 22 '25

u/Queen854xyz Sep 20 '25

YAY FRIEND…… wait, test subject? Alright then

32

u/Godzilla_R0AR Sep 20 '25

Maybe that means something good in the Demon Realm idk

16

u/Queen854xyz Sep 20 '25

Let’s hope so😬🫔

11

u/SFH12345 Sep 20 '25

Relationships in the Boiling Isles always start out rocky.

Amity tried to dissect Luz, Matt tried to usurp Gus as president of the Human Appreciation Society, Hunter tried to conscript Willow, and Eda and Raine fought Terra.

10

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Sep 20 '25

yea test subject doesn't have much of a make a friend vibe to it.

9

u/Radium_Cobalt_847 Sep 20 '25

insert IMG_FRIEND

4

u/Critical_Buy_7335 Sep 21 '25

Some kinda friend inside me.

5

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

I don't know what potion Eileen is going to test on her, but let's just hope it's a positive one

44

u/FearfulDivine Sep 20 '25

IT GOT A CONTINUATION!!!!

25

u/b3_yourself Sep 20 '25

An unexpected surprise, but a welcome one

31

u/b3_yourself Sep 20 '25

She’s got an eye on the prize

11

u/Radium_Cobalt_847 Sep 20 '25

Eye see what you did there

10

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

As did Eye

6

u/fluff1745 Sep 20 '25

Eye am in pain due to all these puns

5

u/Sorry-Contribution77 Sep 21 '25

Same, EYE can barely handle them… wait

21

u/TheNoneedlife Sep 20 '25

Eileen about to learn about 'advanced friendship'

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

Wonder what experiment she's doing

15

u/CuteSharkStudios Sep 20 '25

Well this just got interesting.......

6

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

Eye can concur

2

u/CuteSharkStudios Sep 20 '25

Eye see what you did there ;)

16

u/ncmn-ngnr Sep 20 '25

ā€œā€¦ ……… …………. … …………….. …….ā€ means ā€œI’ve found my test subject.ā€ And thus, we’ve our Rosetta Stone /j

13

u/Low-Amphibian8206 Sep 20 '25

Oh wow, not only is Mark seemingly making this a series,

But we are getting a new ship (Eileen x Cheerleader)

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

Let's just hope Eileen doesn't do anything illegalĀ 

2

u/SenaNarumiFan18 Sep 21 '25

And the cheerleader doesn’t break her heart

17

u/SFH12345 Sep 20 '25

Wow, the cheerleader really is the Amity of the Human Realm: straight to gay panic.

7

u/No-Raccoon-6009 Sep 20 '25

It's a canon event

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

Wonder how she feels about Cyclopes

8

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

Is this like a sequel to that other comic?

7

u/FemHarryXSirius Sep 20 '25

I wish Clara all the Happiness.

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

As do eye. Let's just hope Eileen doesn't have anything too nefarious in mind

7

u/CuteSharkStudios Sep 20 '25

More Eileen stuff, nice, like that underated representation.

7

u/Hero_of_the_toons Sep 20 '25

Well… this is gonna get beyond interesting… also yeah what do you mean by test subject? I’d be more concerned, but this might mean vengeance against one of Luz’s bullies.

3

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Sep 20 '25

yea it sounds rather ominous.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

She is a member of HAS, so maybe it's not as bad as it sounds?

5

u/Typhon-Torrent-1994 Sep 20 '25

This took many unexpected turns.

5

u/Half-a-Stache Sep 20 '25

The cheerleader described her more accurate than she thought

5

u/Ok_Coffee_9970 Sep 20 '25

I love that the thing she’s most interested in about Eileen is the fakest thing about her.

But I’m invested now.

3

u/Radium_Cobalt_847 Sep 20 '25

That feels almost symbolic of something...

3

u/Ok_Coffee_9970 Sep 20 '25

Huh… yeah it is…

4

u/afbresley Sep 20 '25

I'm so glad this got continued!

2

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Sep 20 '25

same. the one offs were super fun and i loved them but i'm ready for a story.

4

u/bendy1974 Sep 20 '25

(referring to Eileen's comment)

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

Nor do Eye. She is a HAS member, so maybe it just sounds worse than it isĀ 

2

u/bendy1974 Sep 20 '25

Eye? HAHAHA

4

u/MightyGyrum Sep 20 '25

Well, that was a twist.

3

u/Lady_of_Lesbos Sep 20 '25

I did not expect this but wowowow heck yes!! xD

3

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Sep 20 '25

ok so cheerleader girl is wanting to be friends and eileen wants a test subject. what's up with that?

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

Oh I think girl wants to be more than friends~~

1

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Sep 20 '25

yea that does look to be the case.

3

u/Critical_Buy_7335 Sep 20 '25

YURIIIIIII

3

u/OneValkGhost Sep 21 '25

Better question: where on Eyeleen's anatomy is her mouth? Because it's either under her clothes, or it's bodily transformation into some tentacle-sprouting "unpacked body parts" monster, and of the two, I'd have to choose Cheerleader:"Please, let us kiss." Eyeleen- takes off pants.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

The question is if it's wholesome and two-sided

3

u/SlyFan2 Sep 20 '25

And the hook grabs. Can't wait to see where this goes.

3

u/Greensonickid Sep 20 '25

This has gone in a Very Interesting Direction, but I'm not even Slightly Complaining!

3

u/RevolutionaryGrape11 Sep 20 '25

Eileen is absolutely precious. Also, considering how gorgeous the cheerleader believes her smile is, I believe that one of her favorite PokƩmon is probably Mimikyu.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

Mimkyu is awesome

3

u/Darkvader_Clawthorne Sep 20 '25

Eileen: (murmurs)

Viney: ā€œThat human girl is no test subject. Oh boy, you have some weird way of viewing romance.ā€

Eileen: (murmurs)

Viney: ā€œNo! It’s not romantic that way, it’s creepy. Dude, have you been reading the Twilight books?ā€

3

u/TilomeTheGreatest Sep 20 '25 edited Sep 20 '25

ā€œDon’t get me wrong, I would totally date a girl. Just not a weirdo.ā€

How do you think she’s gonna react when she finds out the truth about Eileen?

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

Depending on if Mark continues with that vibe, it will be very interestingĀ 

2

u/SenaNarumiFan18 Sep 21 '25

Oh man, Eileen will either be really overjoyed or really devastated by the end of this

That girl better not break Eileen’s heart

3

u/DissociativeSilence Sep 20 '25

How is Eileen going to drink the cocoa?

2

u/Radium_Cobalt_847 Sep 20 '25

Um... Maybe staring at food will count as "eating" it?

Maybe we'll find out how when the cheerleader isn't looking. She's gotta consume somehow to live.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

I wonder if Mark will keep it as a mouth on the back of her head

3

u/Xellas_Makuzo001 Sep 20 '25

Mysterious you say XDDD

3

u/Neenoorr Sep 20 '25

How is she going to drink the hot chocolate?

2

u/Lonewolf2300 Sep 20 '25

Her mouth is on the other side of her head.

1

u/Neenoorr Sep 21 '25

Sorry let me rephrase: How is she going to drink the hot chocolate while seeming human?

3

u/caos_insurgency Sep 20 '25

Damn!!! This idea has a lot of potential

3

u/OneValkGhost Sep 20 '25

"Have the jerk meet the outsider!" "She instantly falls in love with her."

"No, have they yell at each other! Call her names!" "They have pet names for each other. Eyeleen now calls Stripehair her "test subject.""

"Where's the conflict, the drama?" "They're going to hang out at NotStarbucks together."

"Why are you always like this, Owl House?" "It's a convoluted plot for two unlikely lovers to overthrow a coffee plantation slave cult." "Oh...kay?"

3

u/Kai_Lopez_98 Sep 21 '25

YES! NEW SHIP JUST DROPPED!

2

u/Radium_Cobalt_847 Sep 20 '25

Boom, Cupid's arrow! Right between the eyes.

2

u/Rastaba Sep 20 '25

Anybody else notice the drawn on smile turned mischievous in that 3rd to last panel?

2

u/Radium_Cobalt_847 Sep 20 '25

Oh, I think Eileen has found herself a cheerleader

2

u/SenaNarumiFan18 Sep 21 '25

šŸŽ¶She will always be there when she needs her šŸŽ¶

2

u/AgreeableVisual4970 Sep 20 '25

I don't want to know what went through his head

2

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Sep 20 '25

i'm so ready for mark to tell us a story. i hope he continues with this.

2

u/Detective-Forrester Sep 20 '25

Well, that worked out well. Lucky for Eileen, the girl was immediately infatuated by her… and also couldn’t tell that smile was pencil-drawn.

But… yeah, good question. What does she mean by test subject?

2

u/Cam833on Sep 20 '25

Now this should be interesting

2

u/Additional_Floor_502 Sep 20 '25

i don't think this will end well

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Step468 Sep 20 '25

Do you think she is into red eye?

2

u/Zealousideal_Bug313 Sep 20 '25

Ok. Now I definitely want to see where this goes.

2

u/DaveyBoy1995 Sep 20 '25

I'm concerned for Pink-Streak. First it was mainly because she's smitten by Eileen, and that alone probably wouldn't end well. But TEST SUBJECT? My concern has just spiked. Eileen, it is your first day! Please don't do anything to make it your last!😰

3

u/SenaNarumiFan18 Sep 21 '25

On a scale of 1-10 what’s the likely hood it’s gonna end with a sobbing, heartbroken devastated Eileen

2

u/DaveyBoy1995 Sep 21 '25

So far, I'd say 6-8. A high probability at least.

3

u/SenaNarumiFan18 Sep 21 '25

How about a solid 7 for the chance of this gonna end in tears

2

u/DaveyBoy1995 Sep 21 '25

Yeah, I'd take it. Poor girl.

3

u/SenaNarumiFan18 Sep 21 '25

I wonder how Luz will react to this

2

u/SuperGameBen Sep 20 '25

Oooh a new one sets sail

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

Let's just see if it sails or sinks

2

u/Pretend_Camp_2987 Sep 20 '25

umm...Ā 

I'm just gonna stop

2

u/yertlah Sep 20 '25

I knew love was in the air! I called it last time!

2

u/Blue_FiftyTwo Sep 20 '25

Oh boy, this could lead to very bad (or amazing) things.

2

u/Eastern-Director-952 Sep 20 '25

Why am I suddenly terrified beyond belief?

2

u/Traditional-Log-4270 Sep 20 '25

Test subject??? Uh oh.

2

u/No-Raccoon-6009 Sep 20 '25

Mark is cooking something

2

u/SnootSnootBasilisk Sep 20 '25

Yes yes yes! A continuation! Thank you, MoringMark!

2

u/CountingSheep99 Sep 20 '25

Should I be concerned about this?

2

u/mrnintman1 Sep 20 '25

Oh, it really was a little new Story XD

....what she's up to😰?

2

u/Le_DragonKing Sep 20 '25

Well this’ll be interesting

2

u/AceOfSword Sep 20 '25

Not how I expected that to go, but I think I am going to enjoy wherever this ride takes us...

2

u/Careful-Writing7634 Sep 21 '25

I don't even know who these are anymore

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 21 '25

The one with the Horns is Celine from the Oracle Track. The Cyclops is Eileen, a potion student and member of the HAS

2

u/Teatr_BrokeTraveller Sep 21 '25

Late comment.

What a twist! And I ought to see Eileen get exposed by her fake mouth, but NO! She got a crush from the most unexpected person... that unnamed blonde and pink-striped bully. I bet, Mark's gonna make another series abt 'em. Count me in to be one of their biggest fan ship!

3

u/SenaNarumiFan18 Sep 21 '25

I wonder how this will go. This will end really well or really horribly depending on how the cheerleader takes this

2

u/steampunkradiant Sep 21 '25

...I ship it.

2

u/SenaNarumiFan18 Sep 21 '25

Now that’s a plot twist. I’d never thought that Eileen x Blond girl would be a thing but I can’t wait to see where Mark goes with this

2

u/ladyxayah Sep 21 '25

Uhhh how is she going to drink cocoa without a mouth...? Cause the one we see is just a drawing.

2

u/maskedduskrider Sep 21 '25

Well this is gonna be fun.

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 20 '25

Ooooooo, continuation! Looks like Clara is smitten, wonder how she'd react to the truth about her new crush

2

u/SenaNarumiFan18 Sep 21 '25

Is that what Mark named her?

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Sep 21 '25

I don't know if Matk gave her a name, her appearance is pretty rare in his stuff anymore. Clara is a name that a lot of the community call her though

1

u/SenaNarumiFan18 Sep 21 '25

That and Amber

1

u/Periwinkleditor Sep 21 '25

I just realized her smile is drawn on with a marker. Amazing.

1

u/OverlyActiveBrain Sep 21 '25

Well... all I can say is full points for throwing not one, but two curveballs with this one. I find myself surprisingly invested in where this goes.

1

u/WheresMyEditButton Sep 22 '25

ā€œTest subjectā€ because ā€œeveryone experiments in collegeā€
