Ménage à 3 II: Zii's 'Z' Top - Sharp Dressed Girl

[Mordokai]

That would actually be funny.

That's why I'm not holding my breath

[The Glyphstone]

Hey. Ma3 is not lacking in comedy, it's permanent plot development you'd suffocate waiting for.

[Yora]

Hu, I didn't think of that... though she didn't attack Jung either (which could have other reasons)

Jung is actually notable for being one of the very few named characters who is not involved in any crazy sex things at all.

You just know he's secretly participating in depraved orgies with Rob the Agoraphobic Neighbor and Eulice The Landlady.

[H Birchgrove]

I think I deserve a few "Ninja'd" or "Swordsaged" in your posts (about Yuki nutting males at the airport).

Am I the only one hating the sweatdrop Gary keeps getting *above* his head? It looks like the airport has moist issues.

[Weimann]

You know what'd be hilarious? If Yuki flew away and never came back. Seriosuly. I'd laugh at that.

Not that I particularly dislike her or anything. It'd just be deliciously dead pan.

[Coidzor]

Hey. Ma3 is not lacking in comedy, it's permanent plot development you'd suffocate waiting for.

To be fair, she hasn't quite mastered slapstick yet. And she's pretty hit or miss with the rest so far. In my archive trawl she was showing some progress in mastering all of this until the most recent arc where she seems to have backslid as an artist and humorist. She let the tone get away from her and it became "Oh, I wonder what's going to come out of this/Huh, I wonder how she'll be able to keep the tone from getting too dark when Gary ends up murdered because of this" rather than "this is going to be wacky."

Especially when she's trying to invoke visual images from anime people may have seen, but the things she's trying to invoke don't translate well into a static medium as they rely upon the dynamic motion of animation to really "work."

[Morph Bark]

Hu, I didn't think of that... though she didn't attack Jung either (which could have other reasons) and maybe she is calm enough to think her actions through and was able to board the plane... ooooor she was taken in by security. That's much more likely.

I figured she did not attack Jung since he had his lower body behind the counter.

[Coidzor]

Alternatively, she's so racist she can't even see him as a man.

So, think Gary's finally realized how derp all this has been or is he going to still be clueless as to what's her face's lack of a license?

[sir brad]

I think Yuki's Dad is in town, recall the guy in the Comic Shop had a freshly signed piece by the old Perv.

I do seem to recall some convention or gathering where Yuki was planning on showing him up that was going to take place in whatever city this is set in.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Gary says the right thing? OK, who is drawing this, and what have they done with the real Gisele and Dave?

[Coidzor]

Sure, she's crazy, but she's there!

[Traab]

Oh boy, this cant end well. If they were still at the airport id expect to see yuki show up and cause all sorts of drama, but now I think the eventual confrontation will be created at a later date when she eventually finds out about this.

Montreal, where else!

But why is Didi the only one speaking french? Isn't french the primary language there?

[Kato]

Well, that's been some day for Gary... getting a strip tease, getting Yuki's... roleplaying whatever... getting smooched by Kylie... Nice going, pal!

[H Birchgrove]

It's a good thing everybody in Japan knows jie-jutsu and karate, so they can protect themselves against Yuki's groin attacks.

MOOOOOOOOOORTAAAAL KOOOOOOOOMBAAAAAT!!!

Alternatively, she's so racist she can't even see him as a man.

Why? Is he Korean?

With a name like Jung? Most likely. (My wife is Korean, her birth name is Jung Yeon; her brothers are Jung Wu and Jung Joon. Often half of a name is the same for all the children of a family, while the other half is different. My father-in-law and his sister were Joung Chae and Ho Chae. My wife and her brothers adopted "American" names: Kandie, James, Ted)

But I didn't really see that as Japanese racism against Koreans, I saw is as Jung being safely behind a counter, behind the comic book displays, and NOT ogling a tentacle rape picture and saying how cool it was. The other three males were out in the open, and saying the worst possible things at the worst possible moment.

Oh, the Korean text in the Authentic Sushi served on a naked woman's body?
"Please don't tell my boss."

(I had a link, but it didn't work for some reason. It's two comics after #191)

Could also be Swedish that´s a common last name over there.

[Eldan]

Or German.

It's a bit broken. When you use the drop-down feature, it always send you to the same page, with the actual page to go to embedded as POST data where they should use GET.

When copying the URL, it lacks the value of the actual page, since it won't be fed that POST data by the drop-down when you don't use the drop-down.

A workaround is to go back and then forward using the navigation things. That way you get the actual URL.

Another method is to use the date to use the old format.

Yeah, that's how I saw it as well. (My bold.)

Thanks for the Korean realia!

He he.

Meh, maybe. He looks Asian to my highly trained and experienced eye, but I've been wrong before.

When my wife was pregnant and waiting in OB/GYN, the nurses always called out "Jung" when it was her turn, and I often wondered what would have happened if one or both of her brothers would have had to take her while I was deployed.

[Coidzor]

Why? Is he Korean?

I do seem to recall him pointing that out in response to someone else's racist comment, yes.

I took it he is Jung, so an asexual nerd who might or might not have genitalia to kick... ooor what you said.

Thanks, I've forgotten that!

Being asexual doesn't mean that you're a castrate.

[Kato]

Being asexual doesn't mean that you're a castrate.

Sorry, I didn't mean any offense to anyone, I just meant Yuki didn't think of him as a man but as a... it. Not as in lifeless but as in sexless person.

[H Birchgrove]

Sorry, I didn't mean any offense to anyone, I just meant Yuki didn't think of him as a man but as a... it. Not as in lifeless but as in sexless person.

Well, since it's Yuki, it is possible she thinks like that, batty in need of professional help as she is.

Not (personally) offended, I just wanted to point out that your wording came out wrong.

[Yora]

Meh, maybe. He looks Asian to my highly trained and experienced eye, but I've been wrong before.

Wasn't his full name Junghans? Not an actual name in Europe, but it sounds a lot more German.

[The Glyphstone]

Yeah, it's listed as Junghan on the cast page.
