Tai - the one near constant source of relationship drama in this strip.

Hopefully, we'll find out why Penny looks like someone just told her that its time for her to put down the dog tomorrow (or probably Firday)

as someone who is polyamorous myself, i will attest to the fact that it is far easier to make it work when it is casual than it is when things get serious.  poor, Tai. I feel your pain.

If Dora really wants to twist the knife, all she has to say is, "Pintsize has the photos..."  :evil:

 GAWD, I almost spit my coffee out on the monitor when I parsed that through my WC character filter in my mind and roleplayed that scene out...SNORK! 

 I think the last panel would be changed to Faye's arm and leg exiting stage left... Faye's got a hammer, crowbar, and blow torch in a small bag in the trailing hand...  How fast can Marten Run, and does he have enough parts to rebuild Pintsize from that?

Uh oh, Marten should watch out! Dora thinks Tai is hot, too. Personally, I think he should share. Sharing means caring.

Why would you say something like that?

Now SkyNet knows we're onto it.

Anyway, I am just surprised Marten said no. He has shown a weakness to the puppy-dog eyes before.

Not that I've any personal experience in this practice, mind you, but I hear girlfriends don't exactly take well to being 'loaned out.' In fact, they have their own, special term for it: "Time to dump that asshole."

We guys, of course, love being loaned out. In fact, some of us do it ourselves. Girlfriends have their own, special term for this, too: "Time to dump that cheating asshole."

Those are his sarcastic eyes.

His wit is sharper than knives, so yes.  Dangerous is right.

I'm not sure Marten would be okay with that, and if Tai (or any other female on the planet) had said something similar to Dora re Marten, Dora's response would resemble the last fifteen minutes of Kill Bill Volume 1. Lot's of blood, screaming, and kickassery.

Never posted here before, but. I now want to give Hanners a hug and crack up laughing at her. At the same time. Except that she would probably kill me.

And I love the guy's freaked out face.

Hmm... I see the makings of an evolving story arc based on some recent events. I'll have to start paying more attention to detail to see if I'm right or not. Most likely I'm not. Still, I do love my occasional delusions of grandeur.

Also, Hanner's blush in the last panel SO made up for the crazy smile. Just saying...

The horrible thing is, this is the first time I've ever thought Hannelore attractive.

Quote from: Rabdsquirlz on 06 May 2009, 22:29

I love that drawing: it's no one thing, but only all of it, combined, that makes it unsettling. The pièce de résistance is the little arch of flesh under her left (our right) eye. It brings it all together, somehow.

Unsettling...and yet, so very compelling.

On the plus side for Hanners this is a big improvment, actually smiling to a boy, I mean. Sure, she need to try make it more "friendly smile" and less "knife wieldind maniac smile", but still is a huge step forward for her.

You are totally right of course given what her character is involved in, but it's still a little WELP to me to see her go from someone talking to a strange boy in a bathroom to someone who can't smile back at a boy.

Plus Marten was extremely drunk, and pissing in a sink at the time, which can be a weird way of breaking the ice.

Hanner's smile immediately made me think of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. I searched and searched and couldn't find the specific panel. I'll have to scan it when I get home. I have this comic book where the main character is a sociopath and there is one panel where I swear he is wearing that exact same smile.
