The whole waiting around for the other person to initiate things is a pretty common geek failing. So huzzah for her.

I'd agree with this more if she didn't have to get falling-down drunk to do it...

Rape is only a federal crime if it happens on an Indian reservation or a federal property, so it would be the Massachusetts PMITA prison that Angus would call home.

Ok, I'm not up on my Arthurian legends, but can someone explain the title of the last strip to me?
--- End quote ---
The Arthurian legend is that of Tristan and Isolde. Tristan was sent to bring Isolde to King Mark's court so the king could marry her. However, on the way, Tristan and Isolde accidentally drank a love potion together that had been meant to Mark and Isolde to drink together to seal their upcoming marriage in love. As a result, Tristan and Isolde fell madly in love instead and everything became seriously screwed up.
Remember, Jeph recently posted on Twitter that he was reading History of the Medieval World by Susan Bauer. He has also posted having read other medieval histories. Very well rounded is our Jeph!

Comparing the two strips, I have to agree - it's not got that much to do with the improved art (though, as with many comparisons you can do with nearly any strips of QC, the improvements are amazing) it has everything to do with body language. It's not JUST the pinprick-sized pupils. It's how Marten is leaning in towards Dora, obviously shocked but definitely enjoying the kiss; whereas Angus is trying to back the hell away, shocked shitless and definitely thinking somewhere along the lines of 'WTF JUST HAPPENED WTFWTFWTF DO. NOT. UNDER. STAND.'
Basically, Marten: WOAH. YES! WHOA.
Angus: WHOA. WTF. WHOA. EEEEEEEEHHHHHHH WTF.
Watched Pot:
Yeah, regardless of artistic talent/development/style, Angus in panel 5 of 1630 would do pretty well in a "Draw a picture of a guy who has just been surprise-kissed by a girl to whom he feels no romantic or sexual attraction" contest.
