WOW
she is damn efficient for sure
get ride of all the "extras" and then dive into the target hehe

poor todd
i hope he won't hurt to much hehe

Dive into? Isn't Todd the one who...nevermind ;-p

Lol well in this situation might be in the "receiving" end lol

oh no todd doesnt have a clue i wounder what will happen next will vlad get his shot or will cody stop the situation and save todd this is getting even better also what is codies dad hideing from his son cant wait iam hooked

She's cute :)

Don't trust her, Todd! Her cover story has a whole! She said she was a designated driver but also that she took a taxi! I THINK HER INTENTIONS MIGHT BE NEFARIOUS!

LOL. I just edited it to comment on that. XD

Smooth Recovery!

Ill say she should be A bouncer for that bar

Not very fluffy tiger....?

Well, she's doesn't (or at least isn't supposed to) know his name yet, so in place of a name, she used a point of contrast to clearly show she was speaking to Todd(and not one of the other four tigers in the bar).

silly. I know that she doesn't know. but not very fluffy tiger? I thought most or rather.. all tigers are fluffy.

I'm guessing "fluffy" is relative here...as Cody and his relatives (other than Vlad) are noticeably fluffier than Tod.

Ahhhh... oh well.

There are many species of tiger, living all across Asia. I suspect Todd's relative lack of fluff to be based on a tiger that comes from a warmer climate; they wouldn't need as much fluff to begin with.
Either that, or he trims his coat regularly in order to show off his muscles.

that's one great way to put it

Todd is a Bengal like Shere Khan (Connors, get it? ); they have less thick and fluffy fur, at least compared to an Amur/Siberian.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if he did trim his coat to show off his muscles, it sounds like something a vain bodybuilder like him would do. :P

She's a snow leopard. Of course he's not very fluffy in comparison

Snow leopards are the fluffiest.

That was funny! I can see where this is going... or am I, cause everytime I try guess a twist pops out of nowhere! If she did that to that poor guy's arm (wing?) I wonder what she'lll do to unsuspecting Todd?

You never know. If she's good with pain, she might be good with pleasure too

I bet that we will find out sooner or later what she´s up to ^^
Great work with this comic page overall

That's quite a nerve pinch she has. And if Todd weren't thinking with the little brain in his pants, he'd know better than to hit on someone who can render your arm useless.

Iunno, don't some guys see that as a challenge?

"Not very fluffy tiger"... Cody's gonna be so jealous. They never call him that XD

And yes, it IS too cold for Sex on the Beach... especially in Malibu! :-P

Tsk, Svetlana has so much to learn... Ty has nothing to do with "tie", it's just an abbreviation for "Thank you" =^.^=
I wonder how this is gonna turn out...

And I thought Cody´s friend was sex-assaulted by Vlad XD

Bat going down on pole!.. funny.. always pictured him more a top! LOL

Bwa-ha-ha!

I'm pretty sure he's a switch. Are you just hoping that cuz you have the same build?

LOL. nawww. ive learned that other short guys gotta fend for themselves .. *flexes*.

*facepalms* Oh dear...

She IS good at playing the naive foreign girl

I see, she makes Todd drunk and slips some roofies in his drink. Then Vlad moves in (literally)!
Or perhaps I've seen Hangonver once to often ^^;

Oh come on, Todd may be not as cute and fluffy as Cody and Georgiy, but still fluffy enough!

"Playing?" :she twirls a pigtail around one finger:

Not seen it myself

Iunno. Maybe he's just fuzzy?

Your charm doesn't work, I play in the other team!

You should see it, one of the funniest movies of the last years

Hey, all big cats are fluffy by definition!

I've got ta admit, Good one for Ty. I can see him doing it both ways though IMO. *Imagines him pole dancing* XD

PFF-BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Not very fluffy tiger? Uh huh.

I've to admit, s'fun pinching certain nerves on other folks so they can't use their own limbs. What a fun and clever way to disable. 0=3

No Todd, RUN! RUN FO YO LIFE!

That'd be one long pole!

Um. You admit it's fun? You know how to do so? :edges away rapidly: >.>

Nothin' wrong with that. X3 XD

S'more pinch something the wrong way and it'll happen. Though don't worry, I'd not do that to my Cute, Fuzzy, Fox buds. ;-p 0=3

Feline nerve pinch! >.>

Not very fluffy? THE BETTER TO SEE YOUR ANATOMY, MY DEAR.

Considering she just dumped every other guy in the bar... being targeted should set alarm bells ringing in Todd's head! He may wake up in a bathtub of ice with his kidneys missing...

Don't forget that Todd's a guy... in typical male fashion, the thought that she saw him and decided to save her efforts for him specifically, may yet push any other possibilities out of his head, including many of the alarm bells.

Or, by contrast, one particular alarm bell may keep him close to her: the thought of what she might do to him if he rejects her advances.

Well, we'll have to see how he responds to the feline's advances... :)

S'pose so... either way, it promises to be most amusing.

Well, she rejected the other non-felines. Maybe she's just speciesist! Um. Not that it's any better...

She's going in for the kill!

Vlad: "But if dead, then not get to fuck." :Y-face:

from Russia? have the option in Russian?
из России? а есть вариант на русском языке?))

Oh, you're Russian? ^ ^;; I hope I'm not being too out of line here!

I love it I'd like to stick my tongue in a fuzzy navel too

ROFL.. the first panel didn't just happen. LOL. Ty had lots of practice going down on poles? Damn.. That's what Ty gets when he's just hanging about... he gets most of his blood rushing down to that small head of his.. What? Bats ARE small.. and he's upside down.. so blood goes in his brain... ^^ Would there be a demo of how Ty goes down on poles?

Great use of word play there! Peach schnapps and orange juice works well. At least you didn't use this as a pick up line: "Would you like to have an Orgasm, miss?... but first, let's start off with a Blowjob" *winks and grins*

4th panel.. Vavavoom! Woof! *wags tail*

5th panel.. sure Svetlana.. sex on the beach IS cold... it should be since it's usually served WITH ice. LOL. And can't believe she'd be cold.. just look at what she's wearing! a mid drift... tsk.. and also, She's from Russia! She should not be majorly affected by chilly weather. LOL

I would like to hit on her... but seeing what she can do with limbs.. I don't think that would be a good idea. hehe

Last panel... No Todd, she's fine... yes. but you DO NOT want to PLAY with her... And wait.. Todd plays with.. nah LOL. Not very fluffy tiger?! WAHAAHA. CooL! Not sure where this is going but this sure would be an exciting comic.. specially since Vlad was the one eyeing Todd.

I'm still sure he'd object to it being called small

I did do a search of drink names and I thought those names were a bit too blatant ;-p

Well...um...she's probably telling the guy he'd be too cold on the beach. Yeah!

I'm sure you know good doctors if she hurts you at least

Everybody loves Todd!

ROFL... Well, let us compare His head with the heads of the other guys in the comic page. Stand in line, show them heads... and let the show begin!

Hehe... that's why I said at least you didn't use those as your pickup line. =3 It may sound really weird but I never did have an orgasm... or a blowjob for that matter. Do those really make you feel good? I searched for orgasm.. and you just add irish cream into it to make it more satisfying. Same goes for a Blowjob. How do they come up with all those names?!

Riiight.... nice try.

Yeah, that is if I was still alive after she's done with me LOL

You know it! What's not to love?

Comic logic: Important background characters disappearing and reappearing.
Keep em' coming dude.

P.S. I never thought the bat was gay, did I miss a page or something?

Where did you get the idea that he is? Did I miss something?

When she asks "how he goes down on the pole", he replies he's had a lot of practice.
I may be reading to into it, or maybe it's an implication.

It's explained in ISO that hanging upside-down from the pole is a gimmick for the bar; in fact, that particular stunt won him a few competitions, which was how he made enough money to buy the bar in the first place.

"Going down on the pole" is simply an amusing mistranslation.

I remember.
Though I'm going to keep my eye out on it.

Now that you mention it, I can't recall if it was ever established in "I.S.O.", or if Vince simply told his readers that Tyrone was gay...

I'm not sure if his sexuality was ever revealed at all.

It was revealed, although you're right that it wasn't in ISO itself--Vince stated it on the ISO Livejournal group (and, I think, in one of his notes in the front/back of the issues). He is gay, but his boyfriend was never shown or talked about.

Fifth paragraph.

http://www.hirezfox.com/isoarchives...../20110504.html

Although, really, folks. Nobody said Ty was gay here either. He could simply be legitimately answering her question, since he would assume with her broken English that she isn't going to get the joke, and YOU guys simply all have dirty minds :-D

Hey I was proven correct.
For once a dirty mind was right.

"Not very fluffy tiger." Wonder if a little formula would make Todd's fur extra fluffy?

Poor Randall; I didn't think she was so strong. *puts an ice pack on Randall's shoulder*

*pokes Todd's sexy (and solid) ass* There's a pretty girl behind ya who would like to chat with ya." *grins*

Formula? Like what? Rogaine?

Sveti: "Ooh! That looks like fun!" :Pokes Todd's ass too:
Todd: o.0

Yeah, pretty much (I'll have to look up Rogaine). ^^;;;

*joins Sveti; pokes Todd's ass again*

Wow strong Russian grip, takes English terms too literal, and I bet she plays a mean game of pool! Or billiard, whichever they were playing before

Watch out Todd, she probably already has your tail hooked off-panel!
Also, there seems to be a decline in the tiger population in this page.

Had to cut back. Already had four tigers on a page. Adding a fifth would cause headaches from the optical illusion of too many overlapping stripes. Yeah. That's it.

So.... they all went to the big man's room?

That's... i have no idea what the hell will going to happen

Someone with that much energy would most likely be up to no good. I'd follow cody's family out of.... Who am I kidding.. I'd follow Gregoriy almost just about anywhre if he'd let me.
And if he didn't let me I'd probably try anyway.

Also; those nerve pinches are very handy.

Georgiy: "Vhy not let you? Is always happy to being followed!" ^.^

And arm-y!

OOoooh! Spaciba! *follows like a puppydog*

Well, more dis-arming it seems ;3

What a fiendish young lady. X3

She's either very stupid or very clever... I can't tell just yet.

I'm pretty sure the stupidity is being faked to disguise the cleverness; that's typically how it goes with secret agents.

Yes

Well that explains everything! XD

Huh. Okay, so she's definitely another agent, putting on an act, there is no doubt there. Russian, an accomplished gymnast, and she has a Vulcan-esque pressure point technique that I am surprised didn't attract attention, considering that is not something they teach you in massage classes. She certainly is playing the airheaded ditz with little grasp on English quite well, and I guess we'll have to wait and see just how Vladimir put her up to this and why she'd accept.

"You get to cop a feel?" That's our Todd, keeping it classy. XD

I'm sure everyone else just thinks Randall is being a wimp.

Well, you can almost assuredly know that she's not doing it in exchange for sex with him

"Not very fluffy tiger." We must correct, da?

Fur implants? Like a weave?

The innuendos. So many innuendos. *drowns*
Talk about a bombshell. This lass be dangerous! Can't wait to see how it develops further. :33

When secret agents are involved, I would suggest not talking about bombshells.

-Gets the DJ to Play "poison" by Bell Biv DeVoe "psst- Listen to the son... never trust a big but and a smile!"

She's preeety, and yet scary. She is what I'd call "A devil with an angel's smile" I work with one :)

Haha love her personality and great interactions

hehehe nice dude. "Not so fluffy tiger!"

I am reminded of Jamie Lee Curtis in Trading Places.

Does that mean she has to have a topless scene? =X

Label me dense but the "stunning" joke went completely over my head. "Too cold" for sex on the beach? All she has to do is wrap that floof tail around herself and her partner a couple of times, that'd keep things warm (and close!). She's obviously done the "dumb blonde" act many times before. She probably analyzed Suzanne Sommers' nuanced performances on "Three's Company"! KGB policy for female agents, all the better to manipulate the enemy.

I guess her English is better than she lets on
Can you imagine what it'd take to get all the sand out of her fur afterwards? ;-p
Well, I guess she tried to lure in men with a dissertation on 17th century philosophers, and discovered playing dumb worked better ;-p

But what could be more interesting than Cartesian thoughts on existence, Hobbesian dictatorships, or un-Locke-ing the keys of liberty and democracy?

I love Todd's pose in panel 9...It's all "Lllllllllllllllllladies. ...and certain gggggggggentlemen."

I was a little tired when I drew that (I'm a little tired ALL the time right now >.>) and I did notice it didn't come out as casual as I hoped ^ ^;;

It does seem like the kind of pose someone makes when they're trying to look smug AND casual.

Poor Bird and his wing though it's funny that he said "My ARM It's... gone dead !"

...I see certain sandvich preparations are in the works here.

Just remember Todd... if she wants to "go somewhere private where you can get to know her a little better" RUN. And don't look back.

Otherwise, you just might e a little bowlegged for the next week or so.

I HUNGER. I MAKE SANDWICH.

Do straight males ever listen to that advice?

Bowlegged? I think his entire body might get split in half XD

DAMMIT I CAN NEVER GET THAT FUCKING URL TAG RIGHT. Why the hell don't they give you that button option in the replies?

http://catenamanor.com/2010/03/

Well to be fair, you aren't showing the entirety of the bar, so it's possible we just can't see Cody and his family from this angle. :P

*shakes his head* Even if I hadn't known what Svetlana was, I'd be verrrrrry suspicious of her seeming density. Knowing what we do...yeah her air-headedness is as much an act as Georgiy's lack of intellect is.

So many entendres indeed...it took me a bit to get the drink names (What? I don't drink alcohol), but I loved the bit with Ty and the pole.

I'd say poor Randall, except he kind of deserved that for horning in on Todd's space. Then again, with what she/Vlad have planned for Todd, him intervening could have spared the Bengal something traumatizing, or would if she hadn't shot him down. So yeah...inadvertently saving Todd, but then getting paralyzed and leaving Todd to her blandishments after all? Poor Randall.

Whether or not Todd is merely thinking with his red-blooded American maleness, I somehow doubt he's smart enough to see through Svetlana unless she really overplays her hand. In which case I really hope Cody intervenes when he sees Todd isn't going to escape, or that Todd will catch on to Vlad instead of Svetlana before it is too late...

There should be SOME of them visible. Dev and I concluded Vlad pulled Cody aside to "let her work."

Well, she'd make a terrible operative if she WASN'T faking it

I don't drink either! I picked those cuz I'd actually heard of them...

Vlad: "Hmm. Bird not bad either." Just kidding.

I"m sure Cody is still too morbidly curious to intervene yet

Shhhhh, I'm trying to cover for you here! Though that idea works too.

LOL unless she was just used for decoys and distractions...or to mislead the other side into thinking all KGB agents were clueless.

I'd heard of them too, it just took me a bit of thinking before I recalled them. :P

Oh well in that case, he can have Randall. It's just Todd I want to protect.

Operative word being yet...

Oh, she's adorable.

Sveti: "Tee hee!" :-D

Ooh, am very much enjoying of spotted bendy leopard woman. :-D Something very charming about hearing (or imagining) Russian-cliche broken English (male or female, really, the comic as a whole's been a fun read).

Also, good to see Todd's free to play the field again.

Loving this comic so far dude. Can't wait to read the rest!

Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.

I love it.

So the plan is to get Todd to swear off women forever because they're crazy?
