Wow, Zoey went from worrying about being smart to eating cereal very fast. Considering this is page 3 of the chapter, it’d be right next to page 2 in a book and it’d be really apparent how sudden her breakfast happened. That’s a very rare pacing mistake, you’re usually so good about pacing everything and staying consistent.
On another note, I’m SO GLAD it’s daytime again, the bright colors are really nice. Actually, your coloring is really top notch, all the time.
Considering that between pages Isaac has come in, picked out his food, gone to the counter, paid for it, and is now receiving change from Dad, I’d say it’s pretty obvious a fair bit of time has occurred.
You know, Zack; you might just be able to make some pocket cash by selling clothes with the logos and such from the clothes in your comic. True, your following may be small right now (but it more than makes up for size with its fanaticism), and making a deal with a T-shirt company might not be affordable; but maybe the possibility of making some kind of iron-on logos/etc. for shirts/hoodies could be an option.
Dammit, we want your incredible talent to be making you stupid amounts of money!
Also, I’ve noticed how similar Isaac and Zack sound, along with the fact that apparently both of them have the same colour of hair…. Zack, is there something we don’t know?
With Ed, forgetting the name was because of an overwhelming first day in school. Let’s face it, it was a whirlwind of strange events and vivid characters.
Isaac has been clearly ignored, walked past, and isn’t quite memorable. It may be his Spectral power. He’s kind of there without people remembering he is/was there.
But, awesome names have their disadvantages. There have been MULTIPLE times when my girlfriend has been calling for me and people assume she’s looking for her dog.
Thought:
A couple comics ago, Max went for a fist bump and PJ responded by clasping his hand.
Considering PJ’s only friend IS a hand, you’d think the two of them would’ve mastered all possible handshake variants, really.
PLOTHOLE PLOTHOLE PLOTHOLE
That’s probably WHY he was confused- being familiar with such an intricate language of hand-based communication, the extended fist could have had many possible meanings. Was he asking for a fist bump, or warning him that the Red-Steckled Elbermung was creeping up behind him???
I use Piperka to find out when webcomics have updated, but I still like to visit Paranatural even when I know there’s no update. It makes me happy in my heart organ.
ok, so I just found out your comic and read through the archives.
hm. how can I put this?
THIS IS FARKING AMAZING!!!
no, seriously, this is very very very good comicking right here, every aspect of it kicks arse.
given that I didn’t follow it from the begining, at least I’m glad I didn’t find out in the middle of chapter 9 (when the importance of that one panel in Ch.1 becomes evident, etc…)
There are about ten times as many comments on this page than most of the others I’ve seen before. I read somewhere that the key to webcomic success was to do lots of fanart for already-popular comics, which would traffic viewers your way. That seems to be the case here. Oh! And having an engaging comic with dynamic characters and wonderfully entertaining art helps too I guess.
Max can’t not remind me of the TF2 Scout. No matter how hard he doesn’t try.
Oh Sweet Jesus No!!
I’ve caught up to the most recent comic. This is my new favorite thing. If books were available I’m pretty sure I would three. And shirts. And stickers. Pretty much everything you had available until I went into debt and had to drop out of college to find a job in order to get my fix.
On one hand, want more updates for this comic because it is amazing. On the other hand, I know more updates would mean lower quality, which would be terrible.
i like that this comic is basically just a reworking of the morning from chapter 1. It’s a nice thing to notice after having just reread the comic! Kudos to you, Zack.
Could you please take the third panel, make ‘em both yell “OBJECTION!” and post it somewhere? You’d be my hero. (Not that you aren’t yet, but hey, bonus points never hurt.)
In this town, everthing’s different. Standards… have changed.
Is “insolent children” some kind of band or something? I remember Max’s dad wearing an “insolent children” shirt before, so…
Yes, they are an excellent band and also not real.
time to register the brand then
Not real! That makes it better! No wear or tear at all!
So according to Hipster Theory, they’re the best band ever
I love you guys.
I love how it was pretty much a singe word per person right up until the end. Very snappy. :)
Get it? SNAPPY? AHAHAHAHAHAHA so funny…
YES ISAAC IS BACK!!!!! <3 <3
Aw, poor Zoey, left out of the morning greetings XD
This have to be the only comic I’ve ever read where they have different clothes every day, it’s awesome! xD
And almost, very nearly not a single consistency error!
‘cept that one time, of course.
And the thing with Lefty.
Also I didn’t know Isaac was a semi vegan… :O
They probably make fun of him for that, too. ( ‘- ‘)
Doesn’t Semi-Vegan mean that it contains some animal products? Do rat feces count as an animal product?
yes
I figured semi-vegans ate honey, but not eggs or dairy.
You kind of want to ease into veganism. Don’t want to get the bends and whatnot.
Pff hahaha
Maybe like semi-vegan is like you dont eat alot of meat, just like sometimes, maybe every other friendship fusion
Issac – the often forgotten.
Let us hope he shan’t be forgotten in the chapter :)
NO YOU!!!!
THEORY: isaac’s tool is his cowlick
How appropriate. Isaac is a tool
I commend you on your “calling” skills, all the way from the fuuture!
Wow, that’s actually true.
james is the first person to successfully guess Isaac’s tool.
I’m pretty sure that this store has everything now.
SUPER IMPORTANT QUESTION!
THE ANSWER COULD DETERMINE THE FATE OF A BILLION LIVES!
What does Isaac’s shirt say?
It says “Clothing.” Clothing brand clothing.
Brilliant!
Wow, Zoey went from worrying about being smart to eating cereal very fast.

Funny. I find the dark pages a lot prettier. The style, lighting, and colors are very nice in those scenes.
I love both the daytime artwork, and the nighttime.
Fear my ability to be bowled over by all the work of this awesome artist!
I don’t know why everyone’s so mean to Isaac, I adored him the moment I saw him. :D ….I bet its cause hes ginger.
Also explains his spectral powers – might as well get his ghost powers now seeing as his “soul” won’t even roam the afterlife. XD
No. Go away. |:(
This ginger rejects that explanation.
Sorry, did you say something?
I’m a ginger too bro, just accept it.
D’aww, poor Zooey. Nobody cares about you, not even the commenters.
What exactly qualifies as semi-vegan?
50% of it is not meat.
50% of the whole thing? Or 50% of the stuff that looks like meat?
At least they’re making it clear that they don’t actually know what the word ‘vegan’ means. Many companies are not so considerate.
I want that insolent children sweatshirt

I second this idea! It would be SO cool to have Paranatural t-shirts >.<
I am going to write Paranatural in marker on some socks and sell them for $200 each.
(But seriously I’ll make some merchandise eventually. Thanks for the kind words.)
And that’s only one sock. $200.
I love how Zoey adds herself in :)
I notice you make a new avatar for yourself, Zack. It looks nice.
Isaac is my favorite character due to his awesome mutiny planning (yay~) and his glowing finger (yaay~) and of course…..he looks cool 8)
There really needs to be a paranatural cookbook
Don’t worry, Isaac, you’ll always have us fans.
Also, I’ve noticed how similar Isaac and Zack sound, along with the fact that apparently both of them have the same colour of hair…. Zack, is there something we don’t know?
Isaac’s a chump, we’ve got nothing in common. My author avatar is Hissin’ Pete.
B-|
That’s legit.
I love that apparently Max has trouble with people’s names? He did the same thing to Ed — maybe it’s just the Activity Club.
With Ed, forgetting the name was because of an overwhelming first day in school. Let’s face it, it was a whirlwind of strange events and vivid characters.
Isaac has been clearly ignored, walked past, and isn’t quite memorable. It may be his Spectral power. He’s kind of there without people remembering he is/was there.
Don’t despair! We all know Zack is going to make a short story for her too… Right? RIGHT?
I love this page.
I also dig semi-vegan breakfast chew. I wish they’d sell it here…
Love the hoodie max is wearing “INSOLENT CHILDREN!!”
probably from his dad right?
Heeey he has my name! Cool! I feel part of this comic now! ;w;
I gotcha beat! I’m the hero!
But, awesome names have their disadvantages. There have been MULTIPLE times when my girlfriend has been calling for me and people assume she’s looking for her dog.
ARE you her dog? O_o
It would be hilarious if Isaac’s tool turns out to be the plunger…
And so the rivalry begins.
It’s weird because the name Isaac now reminds me of the game The Binding of Isaac.
Thought:
A couple comics ago, Max went for a fist bump and PJ responded by clasping his hand.
Considering PJ’s only friend IS a hand, you’d think the two of them would’ve mastered all possible handshake variants, really.
PLOTHOLE PLOTHOLE PLOTHOLE
oh noooooooo
You have the best icon.
Agree.
That’s probably WHY he was confused- being familiar with such an intricate language of hand-based communication, the extended fist could have had many possible meanings. Was he asking for a fist bump, or warning him that the Red-Steckled Elbermung was creeping up behind him???
Can I use this name for a monster? I want to use this. :U
I gotta say, I love the contrasting background colors for the Dynamic Pointing panels.
1. Subscribe to RSS of your favourite irregular comics
2. Check comic pages every day anyway because
3. VICTORY
Oooooh, that hurts. Also panel no. 4 could be the summary of every encounter with someone I (should) recognise ever.
Off!!! To the Nearest Print-a-Jacket Website! :)
I use Piperka to find out when webcomics have updated, but I still like to visit Paranatural even when I know there’s no update. It makes me happy in my heart organ.
Maybe that’s Issac’s power; to give off a vibe of insignificance so that he is largely ignored until he calls attention to himself.
I love this comic
Is semi-vegan breakfast chew crunchy?
It is chewy.
Have you ever considered streaming yourself working on these comics? I’d love to see it.
i second that!
I still think if would be awesome if the plunger could pull the reflections out of things it stuck to.
I know Isaac’s power!
IRISES!
This. I agree with this. :P
Everyone’s talking about the DETAILS of the clothes but I just like that they actually have different clothes on different days!
Then again, most webcomic characters do, it seems like the old “one outfit per character” rule didn’t transfer over from print/broadcast media.
aww Isaac gets no love. He’s a cutie. I hope he gets beat up a lot. That is my fetish.
Hmmm, I have a feeling that Isaac might be the strongest out of the group. But his underconfidence hides his true potential!
Testing comments.

congrats, Zack, this is awesome!

Hahaha, thanks. The comments were here before the guest comic even!
Oh Sweet Jesus No!!
I’ve caught up to the most recent comic. This is my new favorite thing. If books were available I’m pretty sure I would three. And shirts. And stickers. Pretty much everything you had available until I went into debt and had to drop out of college to find a job in order to get my fix.
For the record, I would three too.
Zack can I just say your sense of humour is flawless
seriously
Haha thanks
On one hand, want more updates for this comic because it is amazing. On the other hand, I know more updates would mean lower quality, which would be terrible.
It can only get faster. Slowly.
Just wanted to say that I stopped by cuz Brad told me to and….I’m staying!! This comic is amazing!!
FFFFF Isaac is adorable. <3
Semi-Vegan Breakfast Chew, man? Really?
So… just speculating here… Is the “Insolent Children” thing a System Shock 2 reference?
No.
omg…is Issac….SEMI-VEGAN?!?
i like that this comic is basically just a reworking of the morning from chapter 1. It’s a nice thing to notice after having just reread the comic! Kudos to you, Zack.
Could you please take the third panel, make ‘em both yell “OBJECTION!” and post it somewhere? You’d be my hero. (Not that you aren’t yet, but hey, bonus points never hurt.)
the alt dialouge made me die… XD
i have dat Isaac moment all the time….
