For comic #2054...
1. Hah, another "gag" gag for Faye. I could get used to this running gag (as funny humor, you perverted minds who thought such "other" things even before finishing reading this).
2. The "gag" gag was made even funnier by Hannelore being the one to do it this time. It is great to see Hanners able to be so bold against our southern punching belle.
3. Three out of four characters now have drunk bubbles. We know Tai does not handle her drinking well, and the four are heading back to Marten & Faye's place for "secret wine"... One or more characters may be headed towards a pantless morning... :evil:
4. @Soulsynger... Looking at panel #1 again, it could go either way. Marten is looking at Padma, yes. But Padma could be looking at either Hannelore or meeting Marten's eyes. Only Jeph knows for sure. And Tai may not be gone, but the rum always is.
5. And I just saw Jeph's Manga Studio fun-draw with a Fart-chan "shoujo"(?)in his Tumblr. Stupid Shinji, confessing to a worshipper of Warhammer's Khorne gets you naught but unsatisfying slaughter. Confessing to one of Slaanesh on the other hand...well, still slaughter (welcome to Warhammer, Fantasy &/or 40,000), but at least you might get some pleasure out of it.
6. "Does this dress make me look fat?" :-D
a. Yes, it does! Remove it immediately, for we must have torrid sweaty sex to erase its image from both our minds!
b. No, it does not. Remove it immediately, for now we must now have torrid sweaty sex.
c. Yes, it does. This is good, for no others may have temptful, desirous thoughts about you but me.
d. No, it does not. [while tightly encircling her with both arms from behind] Change into one that does, for you are mine.
e. Yes, it does. I leave the room now to go slay the fashion designer whose dress has impugned your figure and honor.
f. No, dear. It makes me look fat. *breaks down, both-hands-covering-face sobbing* baaaa huh huh huhhh...waaah huh huh uhhh

It bothers me that the people in the gender discussion seem to be looking at everyone as a woman (or man) first, and as a person second.
People are different. Some people play mind games, some people don't. I don't think this is restricted to either gender. I've known both men and women who thought differently, or from a very emotional perspective, just as I've known women and men who are highly logical. I don't associate their thinking modes with their gender.
While there are some things that society pushes on a person's gender, just as there are some things society pushes on a specific race or nationality, I don't think its fair to say that that behavior is part of a persons nature. (is it true that white people, by their very nature, can't dance? or that men, by their very nature, can fix cars?)
There probably is a fair amount of women who ask "does this make me look fat?" because they've been told by society that "you're a women, and women ask this question" But there are also women who ask that question because the structure of the dress might not be that flattering to their body, and they want a second opinion. Preferably the opinion of someone who has seen them in a variety of settings and who isn't selling the dress to them.

On the topic of Hannelore's reflexes, it seems to me that Hannelore saw what was coming back in panel 4. She is preparing the gag in the very next panel. Why else do you think Marten is thanking her? He saw it coming as well.

Re: Gender discussion
It is what it is.
I don't like it either, thus why I take the effort to try to explain why asking someone a question they will get punished for answering truthfully, untruthfully, or not all, is not exactly the most constructive way to obtain the desired results.
Yes, it would be nice if man knew his woman well enough to know ahead to time what the desired result is when she asks such a thing. Just as it would be nice if a woman knew her man well enough to not need to ask in the first place.
But neither gender is born able to read minds. Which confounds the whole thing when different individuals are seeking different results with the same question.

OK, time to get on topic for the comic: Hannelore's timing for saving people from even more embarrassment at Faye's hands is wonderfully impeccable. Is it part of her psychic powers? :psyduck:

--- Quote from: Akima on 09 Nov 2011, 17:24 ---Count the postings in this thread complaining about women. Then count the posts in which there are "all those women complaining" about men. Oh wait, there's only my single posting. The "normality" of this complaining seems rather skewed, don't you think?
--- End quote ---
It's a webcomic forum. Count the posts that are by women, and square it.
