I suspect Gary is simply a bit desperate. The argument of being with a girl just because she wants to be with him, maybe?
Plus, the whole reason he still is with Yuki is because Kailey turned him down after seeing the kind of impact he has in his life. Maybe he somewhat feels responsible for Yuki's wellbeing?
Ain't the healthiest of behavior, off course.

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
I would have liked Gary to end up with Kailey, but that would be too "normal". Ma3 without the completely dysfunctional people making each others' lives miserable/chaotic would be pretty boring.
I'm still waiting for Gary and Kailey's one time fling to come back and bite people in the ass.
And what does it say about my life that I know people whose lives are as screwed up as the group in Ma3? :smallbiggrin:
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
It does seem somewhat damning if looked at like that, doesn't it. >_>
So that's... how many females now fighting over Gary, with Amber (and possibly her porn friend for reinforcement) getting into the mix?

Well, it is pretty demeaning. He honestly has no better basis for comparison though, having never had any functional, sane friends or family in his life to look to for examples of positive relationships.

Do we know this?
I mean, we know that he's not very used to this, but that doesn't really mean that he doesn't know what a good relationship looks like. It just means that he currently doesn't have it and seems to accept it, for now.

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Come on, he couldn't even get close to a girl before without fainting or nose-bleeding, he isn't that bad now.
Didi, Sandra, Amber & Friend, aren't really interested in him. The question is if Kiley was better for him than Yuki, I'm not sure, he gave up on her rather easily. He has some common interests with yuki, he liked her before he got so «popular,» and if she manages to get over her thing it might be worth it. She's willing to overcome her fears and resist her libido for him.

Of course Yuki is the only character I can't stand in the comic, but that's another issue completely.

So apparently Amber isn't real bright. Tall blonde girl and short Asian girl walk in. Which one is named, "Yuki"? It shouldn't be that hard to figure.

I thought the same... but the I guess she'd expect the muscular, attractive blond to be a cheating bitch opposed to the fragile Asian girl.

Okay, just a short trip off topic: non-Euclidian geometry isn't uncommon. A sphere, like a football for example, is a non-Euclidian shape. There's nothing arcane or impossible about it.
On topic, I was so confused about this page. What possessed Amber to think that one named Yuki was not the asian, but the tall, blonde French?
Yuki speaks truth in the last panel.

Porn-star logic. Didi is the overall prettier of the two, so she's obviously the girlfriend, no matter what the names say.

Eh. I find this inconsistent with her previous characterization. She's no Einstein, but she's not significantly dumber than average either.
I guess she just got the idiot ball this time around (or even two of them in the second panel :smallamused:). I hope Giz uses the situation well, or it'd be particularly jarring.
Speaking of, is it just me or are DiDi's assets significantly smaller here than in other panels? Amber's seem almost bigger than her.
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Actually...what I find interesting is that the physical description Amber gives pretty much fits herself as much as anyone...I wonder if there's a subconscious reason behind her immediate assumption that Didi is the evil one.

Well, she also "knows" that this Yuki woman has been beating on Gary. The one that's actually bigger than Gary seems to be the likely choice in that case.
Also very ironic considering that DiDi apparently prefers being the submissive.

Kind of reasonable, I guess. :smallsigh: Still... she could have, like, asked or something. But I guess that's Ma3 for you.

Note that in the second panel Amber says: "And I've met your type too, Yuki, ... if that is your real name... "
Didi's appearance corresponds better to the image she made in her head of Gary's girlfriend, so assuming her name is fake is not that far fetched.
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Plus...porn star. Taking a 'stage name' is pretty much par for the course.
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Except that people who aren't porn stars or professional wrestlers tend not to take stage names. And a porn star would know this from having encountered human-like entities during childhood, as presumably they're humans and not grown in vats. And if Zii went to highschool with her, we can presume that she was not grown in a vat. Or at least not to adulthood.
Granted she was talking to a pair of breasts like they were a person, so Yuki kind of has a valid point.

My point was more that being immersed in porn-star culture means she's accustomed to the notion of people having different names, and when she's confronted with a tall busty Amazon who she thinks is named 'Yuki', combined with what Somebloke said about unconscious self-projection, it's not out of the question that she just instinctively assumed her target had changed her name to Yuki.
If this was QC, though, I'd heartily endorse the grown in a vat theory.
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Honestly I think she just assumed that the next set of breasts that walked into the room would be Yuki and Didi's caught her attention first because, well, Yuki is Yuki, and so she probably didn't even see Yuki.
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Iiiiii read it as Amber talking to Yuki without looking at her :smallconfused:
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Yeah, I'm probably overthinking it.
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
I can actually kind of buy the idea about projection. It meakes a certain kind of really improbably sense.
Poor Yuki. She's just getting upstaged by all these breasts, isn't she?
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Wow...that's pretty much unambiguously b*tchy.
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Sneaky... :smallcool: (And morally questionable. I wonder if it's the presence of Yuki that made her decide to do this... just to mess with her (not him).)
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
That's actually very, very mean. Yes, Sonya and Yuki had a rivalry over Gary, but Sonya has decided that she is going to actively pursue Zii now - all she's doing is spiting Yuki and getting Gary (her former 'target') into trouble.
Which can only come back to bite her in the long run - wouldn't Zii be even less impressed with Sonya to find out how she has been treating her ex-girlfriend?
....Remind me again, who are we supposed to be supporting in this webcomic?
Zii is a sociopath, Yuki is psychotic, Sonya is a bitch, Gary is a spineless horn-dog..... I think that leaves Erik, who is as dim as a penny candle and almost certainly soon due to be royally screwed over by everyone else! :smalltongue:
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Just struck me who well thought out this actually is from Sonya's side. She's trying to get with both Gary and Zii, and no matter who she met, she would have pissed off Yuki. Granted, Zii would have been harder to manipulate, but still.
I'm a bit cureious about what she means by "maybe you can help" in the first panel? Is she referring to pissing off Yuki? Given that the stress is on "you", it kind of implies that Gary is special in his competence.

Personally, I support most of them. While the comic has no real hero, it has no real villain, either. Even if many of the actors have selfish motivations, you can still (most often) relate to them; this is stuff that probably happens all the damn time in real life (well, exept all the sex and unlocked doors, but you get what I mean).

Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
Actually you know, Dillon isn't that bad. He lusts after Gary, but compared with all the other characters, he really just seems like a guy smitten with unrequited feelings. Unless I'm forgetting some horrible thing he's done (links please).
Gary's just a wimp, but that's no reason to despise him that much, Kiley made one (major) mistake and disappeared (unfortunately, she was an interesting character). I even feel bad for Yuki,and can't help wondering if she'd be more balanced if she hadn't been traumatized by daddy's tentacle porn comic when she was a sprout. I used to not like Yuki, but she seems like she's getting better, or at least really trying to.
I pretty much consider every other major character scum. I don't consider Erik a major character at this point. Zii: Scum. Didi: Getting Scummy. Sonya: She makes me like Zii a whole lot more. Matt: Wow guy, put it in your pants for five minutes. Amber is a psycho.

We don't have to support anyone; we just have to find them funny and interesting. It is somewhat analogous to Seinfeld where none of the four main characters were decent people*.
*Seinfeld even lampshaded this when Elaine met the bizarro-versions of Jerry and co. (who were good people :smalltongue: )
-
Re: Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later
I'll better stay away from the topic of Seinfeld but maybe the point of this and a surprisingly and shockingly large amount of current programs is... people watching it (or reading) can enjoy themselves being so much better people than these despicable characters on screen (or at least thinking of themselves as such).
Not that I really hate Ma3's cast that much but thinking of other shows... Well, Ma3 is really mostly... normal-selfish people thought some of them have weirder ticks.

If a woman who has competed with me over my boyfriend and is antagonizing me in my band comes over, I'd not really care who's house it was.
I mean, the only one who could take a stand and officially allow Sonya in would by Gary, and "taking a stand" isn't what he's best at.
This leaves it down to the fact that Yuki prioritized smacking Gary about rather than making sure Sonya didn't achieve her goals. Which is just plain stupid from a tactical standpoint.

Yeah, this, pretty much. No intention of dealing harm, just the gesture. (Which is still dumb, mind you, but any damage is automatically reflected towards Gary by this universe.)
That being said... hiding from... what? :smalleek: (Ignoring the usual offscreen blindness of Zii, of course.)
