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

[Gez]

Hell, Matt drops his pants right in front of Gary in that scene, and I don't hear anyone ragging on him.

You haven't visited the official Mà3 forums. They're always disappointed when Matt behaves decently because they eagerly look forward for new reasons to hate him. Also they've been very sad about DiDi's recent infatuation with him because, on the one hand, they want DiDi to be happy, and on the other they want Matt to suffer, and if the two are an item it seems it'll be difficult to have both these things.

Meanwhile i have never heard of this concept at all.
(But then again, i've never been to college.)

"Sex is between the legs. Gender is between the ears."

[Newman]

most males who roughly conform to heteronormativity or at least haven't been steeped in progressivist, LBGTA+ culture, the male genitalia invalidate or at least make hazy the whole "girl" thing.

Menage a 3 is all about that culture, played for laughs. Canada, eh?

Gary was unable to tell hids roomies were gay. thusly he doesn't count. Also his upbringing from what he's said seems to preclude this as well.

[Kato]

She was purposefully and gleefully exacerbating his condition and discomfit. Evil don't really enter into it just yet, but it certainly weren't benevolent if we're going to dip into that kind of terminology.

I don't know... well, I guess it was teasing and teasing always involves a vertain kind of discomfort but I still don't feel like holding it against her.

Did you mean to say shtick or stick? Because those are two very, very different things.

No, that was totally not a typo but totally intentional pun. TOTALLY.



Also, on the last discussion concerning the male "walk of shame" I realized this one actually exists yet is very different... It happens when a male person despite trying hard all night fails to enter a girls bedroom and thus has to walk home from her doorstep to his own place. Not that I'd know about that kind of thing or anything.

[Weimann]

I must say, the running "walk in on" gag is one of the better ones in the comic.

I assume this is some Transformers song or something. Hm, is Gary getting pushed into Transformers more and more? In the start, he was a bit of an omnigeek.

It's good luck Zii is in a good mood, some guitarists can get really pissy if you touch their instrument without at least implied permission.

Like the last one, this feels more like transition. Let's see what happens next.

I can't believe you haven't heard of this song: You Got the Touch.

[Newman]

I can't believe you haven't heard of this song: You Got the Touch.

That bragging song doesn't apply very well to our protagonist, ladies and germs, not very well at all.

You know what I'd like? Transformers that are geared towards an older audience, but are still about the actual Transformers.

Having a proactively tolerant attitude towards certain practices (that is, not "I don't care what you do so long as you don't rub it in my face" but "I have no problem with this aspect of you and am not afraid of interacting with and about it routinely, heck, I might actively seek out to educate myself on this") does not imply being savvy towards them in a practical sense. He didn't go "Kimochi warui""Zomg this is disgusting" at them, and he's certainly very tolerant by world standards. I'd say he rates an 80% straight on the Kinsey scale, too.

[datalaughing]

So when I saw the title of today's strip on my RSS feed, I knew exactly what to expect, but did anyone else see Gary telling Lita, "You're a Winner!" and immediately also think of Lonely Island's Space Olympics?

[Weimann]

I can't believe you haven't heard of this song: You Got the Touch.

When I say I'm not into Transformers, I really mean it.

[Gez]

I can't believe you haven't heard of this song: You Got the Touch.

Only heard about it because of this (so, this version).

Holger Fath is the high point of the remix, really.

[Wraith]

No, you probably wouldn't. (SFW)

[Newman]

No, you probably wouldn't. (SFW)

That doesn't even qualify as deconstruction: Transformers are always careful about ejecting people beforehand. Decepticons too, if only because they don't want to get disgusting with sticky blood and guts and weird organic fluids.

Sorry for being so humorless.

He can't be that blind to it and have had exposure to it as a younger man is what I was going for there. It's not about attitude but experience and upbringing.

[Newman]

I understood "progressivist LGBT+ upbringing" to be "there's nothing wrong with LGLBT people, even if you have never met a single one in your life".

[Mordokai]

Subytlety, thy name is DiDi

[pffh]

Awww Zii and long haired blonde guy are adorable.

[H Birchgrove]

I never thought Senna was being unsympathetic until she and Sandra got to Brazil. Also, Matt refered to Senna as being "transgendered" [sic!], so I hope that settles that part of the Senna discussions.

[Domochevsky]

"Sex is between the legs. Gender is between the ears."

I fail to see how that relates to my lack of knowledge about this "walk of shame".

[Cen]

It's Erik goddamit!! He's been on cast page since forever!!

[John Cribati]

Oh. Judging from the section you quoted, I'd assumed you were referring to the concept of sex vs. gender.

[Kato]

Wow, DiDi... are you that desperate? o.O I didn't think she'd be that... helpless... eager... uhm... I'll refrain from worse words, here.
But you know what's up guys: Threesome time!

She was never able to get an ograsm. Considering how often she changed boyfriends before (not even remebering their names), she might be willing to try every possible way. She should probably see a doctor instead (inability to achieve an orgasm might be caused by some medical condition), but sense and reason are not a part of this universe.

Sense and reason make a universe dull...

You know, since she never had an orgasm she doesn't know what she's missing so why is she so desperate to get it? Aaaah, whatever. Curiosity, high expectations and empty promises. (Empty, haha....)

Well considering that in our universe orgasms are hyped to the moon and back in media I assume it's also done in their universe.

[Weimann]

She doesn't have to be desperate, really. I get a feeling most of her seduction schemes goes something like this:

1) *wardrobe malfunction*
2) ???
3) Not quite profit.

She's not used to having to talk to them is all.

Hm, I don't know. To me, she seems awfully rigid for someone desperate. She's completely focused on getting there by way of boyfriend, when there are in fact several other methods available.

She should probably see a doctor instead

Yeah, because that worked so well for Yuki.

Word up.

[Coidzor]

It's Erik goddamit!! He's been on cast page since forever!!

There's... a cast page and people read it?


As for today's comic. I'm confused by the direction they took this in. Why are they covering one another's eyes? They've both seen her nude and know she doesn't really are about being seen nude. This just feels out of place given what's happened so far in the story and their relationship with Didi.

[Shogo]

It'd only be confusing if they were covering their own eyes.

That they're covering each other's eyes is clearly a "Don't look at someone else naked." thing, seeing as they're kind of dating now.

[Coidzor]

That doesn't really seem to fit Zii's character, nor does the more in keeping with her original characterization of not wanting anyone else to see Didi nude seem to fit in this situation either.

[Somebloke]

That doesn't really seem to fit Zii's character, nor does the more in keeping with her original characterization of not wanting anyone else to see Didi nude seem to fit in this situation either.

I think that's the point- she's more worried about Didi stealing Erik than happy about seeing Didi herself. Personally I see her over-the-top attempt to stop her boyfriend from seeing Didi as a way of the author showing precisely how her current relationship is screwing with her priorities.

Potential character growth ahoy.
