No one expects a werewolf story in May, so here we go! :D

Any idea what's happening here?

OmegaWolf • 05/29/2022

Some radiation residue or after effects of something. Maybe some mutant gene she has only. Either way she is fluffy.

Walt • 05/29/2022

How can she be a werewolf if she's already a wolf?

jprime • 05/29/2022

Either she's dreaming or her brother's latest experiment did what they always do.

2bit Marten • 05/29/2022

It's just a simple mayfever, give her some diphenhydramine and she'll feel better in the morning.

CarlK • 05/29/2022

Light of the full moon slowly creeping across her bed. She has were wolf genes.

AncientWolf • 05/29/2022

Ooo...Stef...she looked so sweet lying there in the first panel. <3

An anthro wolf...maybe she's a wolfwere (instead of a werewolf)? Is she going to revert to a four-footed form, or is she going to turn into a human? Or some hulking She-Hulk wolf?

Just what kind of experimental stuff has she been involved with in her line of work? Or is this some weirdness caused by her brother? Probably not him, because he deals more with physics or electrical type stuff, not biochemistry. Unless this is something that's been passed down the line genetically.

That last panel...getting rather risque there. ;) Um...mmm... (down boy!)

Thisguy • 05/29/2022

@Walt True. If I recall (also if I look it up on Google) it comes form the old English term Werewulf, in which ‘were’ which comes from the old English word ‘wer’ meaning ‘man’, so technically, a Wolf turning into a Wolf would be a Wolfwolf. Doesn’t really bring to mind the same thing though…

Rocketroo • 05/29/2022

Ah, when Puberty hits. I remember it well. Just like last century.

Ace • 05/29/2022

shouldn't have eaten that pizza before bed

Kangaar Foxfire • 05/29/2022

I thought she was just feeling extra horny. :P

Tir_Amahn • 05/29/2022

Dream

SuperBH • 05/29/2022

It's a Backstreet Boys video!

Panther • 05/29/2022

Where's stephen King when we need him ? ^_^"

Lukas64_the_dog • 05/29/2022

she turns into a "real" wild wolf

Lukas64_the_dog • 05/29/2022

Maybe she will become a "real" wolf

Skulker • 05/29/2022

The artist is having an identity crisis?

Sturzkampf • 05/29/2022

Oh no! She’s going to change into a monstrous murderous ravening human!

Leak • 05/29/2022 • edited

Were wolf? There wolf!

@Walt: she's not turning into a were-wolf, but a square-wolf...

Nerdhoof • 05/29/2022

The way her clothes are torn to shreds, maybe she's a wolf-hulk. [Marvel lawyers approaching] Okay, a werewolf.

ndrvr • 05/29/2022

Awwww, she's finally showing her playful side!

I'd wolf her.

Indagare • 05/29/2022

If this isn't some weird dream sequence I'm blaming Wolf. This just seems like the sort of thing that he'd somehow have caused to happen.

drivernjax • 05/29/2022 • edited

@ THISGUY - Since "wer" is Old English for man, then she should be exempt since she's a female. Right? LOL.

Personally, I think this is just the result of playing all that Tetris at the Tetriscon. You'll note that the problem started in her arms and hands then it moved to the rest of her body.

soriac • 05/29/2022

There wolf. There castle.... Although judging by the white hair and tail she develops, maybe goth wolf turns into genki wolf? Oh, the horror....

Thisguy • 05/29/2022

@drivernjax Well… Old English for female was ‘wif’. But Google can’t find much evidence for ‘wifwulf’. Old English for ‘human’ in general, was ‘mann’, but Google can’t find much on ‘mannwulf’ either. I think it’s just the thing where medieval men just though the world developed around men.

In any case, Steph would technically turn into a She-Wolf-Wolf.

ToPaintASoul • 05/29/2022

DOUBLE WOLF POWER

Bernerlb • 05/29/2022

Maybe it was the IKEA meatballs

Vuk Tempest • 05/29/2022

Ah, she's becoming the most double wolf ever! Count me in!

AlyxVixen • 05/29/2022

@Walt Maybe she's a weredirewolf?

Anyway, nice to see Step getting her own little strip.

caldaq • 05/29/2022

D'awww that was likely A favorite set of sleep clothes.

Amaruq • 05/29/2022

Shedding season? Starting to see the first signs of a summer coat blowout on the Malamute-mix here. :)

Vulpis • 05/29/2022

A wolf that turns into...a naked wolf? Of course, if you want a scary idea, she's turning into...Wolf. ;-)

jprime • 05/29/2022

@SuperBH They made the fourth-worst videos of 1996 & 1997.

AncientWolf • 05/30/2022

I suspect the origin of werewolves had nothing to do with wolves, but rather Norse warriors who were beserkers since they would sometimes wear animal hides. Here's a good article on berserkers:

https://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/viking-berserkers-fierce-warriors-or-drug-fuelled-madmen-001472

Given how superstitious people were back then, having the Norse come a-viking (raiding), was terrifying enough, but to see a berserker...that really would scare the heck out of people. I wouldn't doubt that tales of "werewolves" were from accounts of "beast men" who seemed "possessed". It's because The Church (who was often an easy target) spread such stories, actual wolves have been hunted to near extinction.

Back to the comic...if this is a genetic thing as one suggested, then wouldn't this have come up before in the story? Like, how Wolfram got scared witless by his mother and it gave him a fear of "girl cooties". I suspect it's something she worked on...

ndrvr • 05/30/2022

Aaaaand suddenly the musicbox in me noggins throws up this:

(Oh here she comes) Watch out boy she'll chew you up (Oh here she comes) She's a maneater

Hall & Oates - Maneater

(ok ok, Steph's a Wolf, not a Jaguar, but hey...)

N7: • 05/30/2022

Hopefully she doesn't start quoting shakespeare

LilFluff • 05/30/2022

Ah, the full moon. That magic time when those wolves of certain bloodlines, curses, or infections find that they shift from mere wolves into wolves. Yes, she has become a... Wolfwolf!

Treascair • 05/30/2022

Okay, this is actually really interesting, even if it is a joke~

Adam • 05/30/2022

DAMNIT WOLF!....oh wait, sorry. Knee jerk reaction. XD

HarlequinGnoll • 05/30/2022

The obvious callback joke is "cooties are REAL after all?!"

Vulpis • 05/30/2022

And for some reason I'm getting Teen Wolf (the original Michael J Fox movie, not the awful TV series that used the name) vibes from this, imagining Stef getting up only to discover Mom and Dad sitting at the kitchen table, all bulked out themselves, with the attitude of 'There's something we need to tell you...' :-)

William • 05/30/2022

Wolfie's gene experiments on his sister.

FurriaK • 05/30/2022

Why do we have to wear those ridiculous ties?

THAa-i-mean.. why does the rocket science always have something to do with mutations?

WB101 • 05/30/2022

If she howls at the moon I just might haveta rethink my stance on dating younger females... O_o

Oh and has Wolf been in the Adolescent Freaky Samurai Woodchucks mutagen?

Dawn the DrMooID: hides

Benji • 05/30/2022

Gotta be pollen allergy!

Ace_country • 05/31/2022

Steph as a super fluffy werewolf? Yes please!!!

Dragon Furry • 05/31/2022

Could be a old family curse XD Or just that time of the month. One can never tell ;)

Verp • 05/31/2022

Will she turn into a human when the Moon sets?

Eric Bloedow • 06/01/2022

this reminds me of a "were-MAN" gag in the online comic "Direman"...

Silverwolf • 06/02/2022

It's static electricity. She's not properly grounded, so she's getting extremely poofy.

pilgrim3 • 06/03/2022

“Even a wolf who is pure in heart, And says her prayers by night, May become a were when the wolfbane blooms, And the moon is full and bright.”

― Curt Siodmak

Senok13 • 06/04/2022

If I recall correctly, she work within the rocket industry... So, it should be a bit closer to the "Fantastic Four", than the "Incredible Hulk".
