So tell me, when a girl has your number, and doesn't call, so then you track her number down, what is the appropriate course of engagement?

LeeC · « **Reply #52 on:** 24 Nov 2009, 11:29 »

bump into them. thats about all you could hope for. anything else would be creepy.

I'm trying to find ways to suggest that you might have something there, but I don't see it at all. In any way, really. Unless you decide to build the comparison off of something as insignificant as a general hairstyle.

Anyway, addressing people at the door in your underwear is very common in all-women dormitories. Especially if the college has any sort of party reputation.

COSETTE! <3

There's really nothing wrong with Cosette; it's just the musical's deliberately sympathetic towards Eponine.

My hate stems directly from the fact that my nickname IS Eponine. Because I'm cool. Not lame.

I just keep digging myself a deeper hole, don't I?
Also, the last panel in today's comic cracked me up, and made this stupid essay a lot better.

Why is your nickname Eponine? Are you a poor, rejected street waif, pining for a love from another world, destined to die on a lonely barricade?

Or maybe there's a more realistic explanation XD

I would say it makes sense...for those with penises anyway. Regardless, flaps just just seem to be easier on the manufacturer.

Kugai · « **Reply #60 on:** 24 Nov 2009, 20:21 »

This cannot end well.

It will turn out that Cosette is the secret daughter of the Supervillan Steve killed while working for DoKYA - Terrible revenge will ensue.

Mad Cat · « **Reply #61 on:** 24 Nov 2009, 22:30 »

I lived in the dorms for three years. Of course, they were always co-ed dorms, so maybe the presence of the complementary sex kept people on better behaviour...

I just know that even when I was sleeping (or otherwise) in the nude, I always had a set of jammies draped over a chair or a robe hanging on the closet door in case I needed to "breach containment".

I suspect Steve and Cosette are going to be experiencing Twue Wuv.

accidentally cause the end of the world as we know it, then choose her as sidekick to save the world    - 21 (33.9%)
ask a mad scientist to turn his life into a accidental harem manga (the first always wins) (wait, would that be Tortura?)    - 9 (14.5%)
infiltrate her family    - 2 (3.2%)

Maybe Cosette had to oil-wrestle her cousin Tortura for the right to date Steve, and things got, well, slippery.

Because your nickname (that you probably gave yourself) comes from a character in a musical... and you're not lame. Are you thirteen? Dude, seriously.

lhasafi · « **Reply #69 on:** 25 Nov 2009, 05:58 »

Hmm. Could it be that the US Gov't got a little too sloppy with VespAvenger's "extracurricular activities". Someone call Agent Turing.

On a completely unrelated note - where did Annette go?

akronnick · « **Reply #70 on:** 25 Nov 2009, 06:39 »

My guess would be that Annette got dressed and went to her place to prepare for the coming work day.

The 'smooch-smooch-see-you-later' scene, being neither relevant to the plot, nor especially funny, happened off-camera, so to speak.

Alternatively, she went to the bathroom (which, since they were in Tai's Do room) would require putting on a at least a minimal level of covering. Now that she's taken care off her first thing in the morning toilet requirements, and Tai's visitors have left, she and Tai are free to get down to some early morning bow-chicca-bow-wow.

kent_eh · « **Reply #71 on:** 25 Nov 2009, 06:41 »

What's up with the other girl in panel 2?
That's quite the evil eye she's giving Cosette.

I'm guessing the leg damage was committed during some grand (and very public) mis-adventure with someone else's boyfriend(s)

akronnick · « **Reply #72 on:** 25 Nov 2009, 07:56 »

Wait, did stink-eye-girl knock Cosette's Crutches out from under her?

That's just cold.

Carl-E · « **Reply #73 on:** 25 Nov 2009, 08:17 »

Nah, stink eye's just the normal "bitch, you cut me off with your crutches!"

Cosette did that herself - the fall wasn't planned, just convenient, she was crutching too fast trying to catch Steve...

I too would like said Telecaster. I can already get girls. Rare classic guitars are much harder to get.

akronnick · « **Reply #75 on:** 25 Nov 2009, 08:26 »

I suppose that works if you view people as interchangeable pieces-parts that you can pick out of a bin and one's just as good as another.

But if you take the view that every human being is a beautiful and unique snowflake that sounds pretty crass.

I was going to Godwin the thread with a hitler snowflake reference, but all I could think of was 'Hitler Flakes cereal, 100% of your daily allowance of hatred in every bowl!'

So did Cosette ask out the She-Hulk's boyfriend, or something?

Mad Cat · « **Reply #78 on:** 25 Nov 2009, 09:50 »

That's gotta hurt.

I don't mean the black eye and broken leg. I mean falling and landing into a major boob grope.

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #80 on:** 25 Nov 2009, 10:11 »

I think it may be that Cosette changed direction and crossed the other girl's path unexpectedly in her haste to fall all over Steve. Loads of people will look at you funny if you suddenly change direction for no reason and nearly bump into them. Especially if you manifest a giant exclamation mark on your forehead just beforehand.

Lots to see and ponder in 1543:

1) Is the exclamation point next to Cosette's head in panel one necessary? I only noticed it on a second reading, and I think her facial expression conveys her startled recognition quite happily. Trust your art, Jeph!

2) In the second panel, what's up with the dark-haired girl on the extreme left? Is she giving Steve and Marten the hairy eyeball, or reacting to Cosette's desperate crutch-charge? One would say the latter obviously, except that Cosette looks as if she's behind and beyond D.H.Girl. Perhaps she's making a lot of clanking and clomping noise...

3) Panels three and four demonstrate one reason why Steve was recruited by the DoKYA. Seriously quick reflexes! Whereas Marten sees her falling first, but stands there like a stunned mullet.

Actually, they recruited him for plausible deniability, i.e. if Steve got captured, "The only Steve we might (or might not) know of might (or might not) be a sloppy drunk from New England. We recommend coffee. Or would, if we actually acknowledged he exists. Which we do not."

she was attacked by the Thanksgiving turkeys because they found out that she always eats two of them    - 11 (22.9%)
one of Faye's sculptures    - 14 (29.2%)
VespAvenger girl is now a superhero in the name of love, so she attacked Cosette because of a lack of calling Steve    - 20 (41.7%)
