Eating and Breathing

[nightreflection]

I has question:

I was wondering what the eating and hunting habits of the cabin residents are.
This be my guessin':

Charby and Menu we know will kill and eat anything. ;D

Form the hint in 'Out on the town', I'm guessing eating people goes for Tony, Mye and Zeno, but I'm guessing Mye doesn't kill her own and I'm sure she'd never eat human raw. I'm not sure about the other two though. Not sure about Hexavier either, I'm guessing he will kill and eat if need be.

Azelea probably has no bones about knocking someone off, but is probably a vegetarian.

Phineas we know is a vegeterean, I'm guessing he wouldn't hurt a flea unless it bit him first.

Mikko is a curious one. He only scavanges. Would he be tempted by leftover mystery friend on-the-bone?

Kavonn I'm guessing only eats prepared food, which the hat probably supplies to avoid karmic retribution when nothing civilised is around.

Foomy looks like he's never seen a human before now, so probably wouln't be too bothered about eating them. Killing on the other hand, I'm not so sure.

I'm guessing Daray will either not eat human, or only if it's cooked.

Crispo is a bit wierd. He's a demon, but comes across as very shut-in. I'm guessing he only eats stuff out of a packet or cooked properly, but he is still a demon, so I could be wrong.

I'm guessing Mannick will eat anything he can't recognise as coming from an animal (or person who is probably pretty much the same in his book).
Fay I'm guessing eats only 'civilised' food.

Yiska will probably eat anything for her job, but I'm guessing she prefers human food.


I also am curious about breathing. I'm guessing they all need their O2, since they eat. (food + O2 = energy + CO2) but I'm guessing Charby needs less. Alps are spawned from the dead, that doesn't make them dead themselves. The twins are semi-alive, so probably need it. Curious about Kavonn and Foomy though.

Comments anyone?

That's absolutely true about Menu and Charby! Though, Menu is a little more epicurean (or even epi-curious!) than his vampire friend, who may turn his nose up at a few things Menu has ingested. Charby isn't inclined to eat floor food for example, though in an oooold oldold comic i did before fully establishing the characters, Samrick tells Charby to take a bath because he smells bad and his reply is that eating road kill will do that! (I adapted this into Fernando later of course) Charby nowadays wouldn't touch the stuff!


I haven't shown it much (it was only mentioned in a one-shot gag comic that I never re-uploaded for its fourth-wall breakage, "demon babies") but Zeno has a fondness for sweets. He'll eat what's served to him generally.

As for Mye Hex and Tony, 'tis true they would never kill someone for food, but they have all had a taste of the long pork on one occasion or another. The eating of hobos comment was mostly Vic being a bit (I suppose prejudiced?) and assuming that's what a zombie, demon and alp (or whatever he thought Tony was at the time!) do when they go into town. Kellwood has a high disappearance rate for their homeless, after all... but they were just going in to go shopping for groceries Charby mentions something like this later in the comic "Simply Irresistible", where he mentions wanting to eat a hobo and laments that his friends left without him. All except for Menu probably wouldn't participate in the activity of hunting people, but Mye doesn't seem to have any qualms with cooking what's given to her. Tony hasn't actually killed any people himself, and Hex would probably not eat someone he cursed to death either. Mye probably has more problems with people-eatin' than her brother though.

Azzy also likes sweets, but more often natural ones like honey, syrup, nectar, fruits and so on.


Phineas is indeed a vegetarian, though not a vegan! He's not disinclined to try animal products like dairy products. He won't touch sea food for obvious reasons!

Mikko may try what's left on the carpet and between cushions, but has on occasion hitched a ride on Remote Beast to get into the kitchen for something a little fresher and firsthand.

Kavonn mostly eats what the house has prepared, but he does have his own methods (which we will see in upcoming pages) of acquiring decent food. (though i did drop a hint on it in an earlier page, hehe ) He would not feel inclined to eat people, despite his distance from his once-humanity.


Foomy is a little like Phineas in that he prefers vegetables over meat, but he also likes chewing on wood as well. His diet is a little rodent-like despite not really having the teeth for it.

Daray thinks humans are pretty fascinating, so he might not want to try human in the same way that someone who loves dogs might not want to try dog meat

Actually, Crispo is a half-dragon (what the other half is, is yet to be revealed though I'm sure some people might know already ) He eats a lot of junk food, and stuff typically associated with geeks (ramen, cheetos and stuff like that) and nachos when he can get someone to make them for him.

You pretty much got it with Mannick! He probably would close his eyes eating animal crackers, knowing him...but he'll eat something that Mye accidentally charred beyond recognition!

Fay actually may try to eat whatever Hex is eating even if she doesn't like it that much, that's just the kind of girl she is! If she doesn't like what Mye prepared, tough!

Yiska has a tendency to avoid any poultry items but she looooves processed meats. She'll insist on a few cans of it...and she'll eat it cold!


As for breathing, that's an interesting one! Most of the characters that don't really need to breathe, mostly continue to do so out of familiarity and comfort (this would apply to the vampires of course.) Respiration does still help on a smaller level as well, as you mentioned with the food. Putting Charby in a strangulating choke-hold may not cause him to pass out (unless you're destroying his mind at the same time, that is) but he still won't appreciate it! Not breathing still gives a burning sensation in their lungs however, and they can still get short of breath if they haven't been properly fed lately. He can eat as much chicken as he wants, but ignoring the fact that he also needs blood for too long does have its consequences!

Kavonn is still alive and does need to process oxygen, and the same goes for Foomy Though he may have interesting reactions to flammable gasses, being that he can also assume a fire-form (which we saw all of but once, when he first showed up!)

Also Phineas is amphibious, he can process in and out of water. Of course

Thanks, that was such a quick answer too.

Ok, so none of the posts inspired me today so I am going to revive this one a little.

How about favourite foods.

Crispo likes nachos

Charby likes chicken (after blood ofc)

I'm guessing Menu's favourite is raw beef or pork?

Azelea you mentioned will be natural sweets.

Tony likes coffee.

Yiska likes cold meats, but does she prefer salami or spam?

The rest I am not sure of.

[the1truesushiboy]

Tony likes milk.

Mye likes gummy bears.

It's been mentioned than both the Ducayne siblings apparently have an acquired taste for brains.

Phineas is a vegetarian. Not sure of a favorite, but it's worth mentioning.

Kenny likes booze, though I'm not sure to what extent. It'd be funny if that were his obsession as an elite.

And that's all I've got.

[nightreflection]

Well, since we're eaten and breathed out, how about colours?

Other than Charby liking purple and blue, and Menu not seeming to have a favourite, I don't think we know any.

[the1truesushiboy]

Mannick likes purple-red
Quixoto's favorite is green.
Both the Ducaynes like dark blue and purple.
Fay probably likes pink, but possibly blue instead.
