reicreature:
See the proper response on Marigold's part would have been something along the lines of: "Ha ha, Yeah too bad I'm straight" or something of that ilk. Instead she responds in a way that is while honest on her part, incredibly hurtful in that it implies that making-out with Tai would be an act of desperate last resort.
So, Tai gets the reminder that her sexuality is "wrong" but also that there is something wrong with HER own attractiveness. Instead of just getting shot down with the "I'm straight" reply (disappointing) she gets "I'm straight and you're gross" which is far far more painful.
I'm sure Marigold didn't mean it that way, it probably just didn't occure to her that it was insensative.

I swear when I put up my cat icon pwhodges' icon looked like it did before. I guess I didn't refresh the page or something. Anyway uh....yeah. :oops:
I'm guessing the next comic is Marigold getting super-flustered and apologizing for the inadvertent burn. Marigold doesn't seem mean-spirited enough to mean it the way Tai thinks she does. I hope Tai gives her a chance to explain and doesn't storm out all pissed off.

My avatar is a call to a routine on my server* that delivers a random image from a list of over 20 - so each time you refresh it, it changes, and each person may be seeing a different one at the same time; it is meant to confuse or intrigue, depending on your nature. So when I added the cat, you still had only a 5% chance of seeing it right then.
* For the technically minded, this is done by the following lines in my Apache config:
RewriteMap AviFile rnd:C:/WebPages/cassland.org/html/images/Avatars/AviList.txt
RewriteRule /images/QCavi.jpg /images/Avatars/${AviFile:QClist}.jpg

Ah. Well played, sir.

She might have.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure she did.
