This is one situation where a you tube search would have have done better.

Slap Bass

(This was just the first video)

And this is Flea explaining how to slap bass.

[Morph Bark]

Y'know, all the other Giz comics' links to Ma3 say it's rated R and NSFW as a warning... since none of the others have that, I guess that means Ma3 is their only one like that?

[JadedDM]

If you look at the top right-hand corner of the sites, you'll find that Eerie Cuties, Magical Chicks and Dangerously Chloe are all labeled PG-13, yep.

[Brother Oni]

From a British point of view, nudity with sexual context is usually enough to bump it up to a 15, but adding in softcore depictions of sex is usually an automatic 18 rating.
As I've said in another thread, our 18 rating is essentially a catch-all certificate that everything not one of the other ratings get thrown into, thus it includes things that the MPAA rated R and NC-17.

From what I've read of EC and MC, it's usually just suggestive with mild nudity which would give it a 12 or a 12A, which is about equivalent to a PG-13.

I could never get the hang of these ratings... I know the one with numbers in them mostly are relevant to people of that age and that's mostly it... Not that I really care.


Yeah, Zii, I'm sure this will not lead to any more confusion than saying "I'm on a lady's night" whatsoever... Also, is Eric not going to hear the message at all?

[Weimann]

What? Eric seems like the chillest guy ever, why'd she lie to him about this? I mean, yeah, she's bi but by that logic she wouldn't be able to meet people, period.

Not that it'd actually help though, since he didn't take the call. Hope he listens to the message.

[Morph Bark]

I wonder if there will be drama due to this. I mean, yes, it's Ma3, but it involves Eric. I guess there could be just a little if he first hears from Yuki or Sonya that she left alone with DiDi for a girls' night out and then also listens to the message before talking to Zii. Or he hears it from Sonya/Yuki, then talks to Zii before listening to the message, and she ends up trying to apologize all weirdly, not knowing he never listened to the message.

[The Glyphstone]

Eric won't talk to Soya/Yuki (or at least won't get the message from them), won't check his voice mail, but he'll go alone to the restaurant he was going to take Zii to and hope she shows up. She will show up with DiDi, without noticing him, but he'll see them.

I think it is practically guaranteed that there'll be drama from this. And innocent drama is the worst kind.

[Kato]

Alternate theory: Eric shows up at the studio, finds Yuki and Sonya all depressed and either offers to take them out to dinner to cheer them up or hands the reservation to the both of them and some money or something along these lines.

[Coidzor]

Yuki has the benefit of being the "first girl", which in fiction tends to mean a privileged position in the relationship game. However, I agree that she is delightfully flawed, much like Gary, and they kind of complement each other's insanities. I also do like how she actually realises she has a problem, and her decision to work with it is triggered by Gary but, in the end, for her own sake, which is exactly how it should be.

On the other hand, Kiley has been the one to show Gary the greatest measure of genuine affection so far, and while I'm far from convinced such a relationship would last, she's probably the one I personally like the most.

The first girl to go out with him, sure but my understanding of such things suggests that we'd consider Zii to be the first girl for things like first girl wins.

[Belisarius]

I think roommates are off-limits, though. Besides, first girl wins is played out.

[Morph Bark]

It's always the last girl that wins. /flies off

Or at least the one that lasts. *a-hurr, a-hurr*

[Winter_Wolf]

This Saturday's strip is fun. You can almost see the "fffFFFUU--!!" forming in the character's thoughts.

[Domochevsky]

The realization sinks in both slowly and fast at the same time... mistakes were made.

[Kato]

To be honest, I'm not sure if she made the wrong choice... Yeah, nude mud bath means she can see all the good things but a night-out with dancing and alcohol means it's more likely she'll get to touch the goods and maybe more (if that's even what she's after)

[Morph Bark]

...Eric. Run.

[Domochevsky]

Destiny is lining up the pins again. And Sonja is holding the ball.

[Winter_Wolf]

I wonder if Sonya is actually based on a real person one of the authors knows. 'Cause scary but true that there are people just like her walking around in the world.

Tell me that doesn't make you feel ill. I've known people just like that. Plural.

[Wraith]

Got to admit, at the very least I'm curious.

Is Sonya going to try and jump Eric in order to break him up from Zii so that she can have Zii for herself? Because that's a really badly thought out plan that probably won't work.
Or was that 'broken heart' from a few pages ago more significant and she's doing it just to break them up out of petty revenge?

I mean, Zii did it to her and.... Jake, was it? And then insulted her prowess, however inadvertently, which was probably even more upsetting.

I'd say she was going to try to seduce Eric in order to get into Zii's pants, but that would indicate more long-term planning than she seems capable of and is kinda fiddly what with that first threesome...

[Cikomyr]

I don't use that word often (except to call out their progenies)

But man, she's a bitch



Her and Matt would be perfect for each others

[Southern Cross]

Even Matt deserves better than Sonya.....

[Morph Bark]

Even Matt deserves better than Sonya.....

Agreed. Even if it's only slightly so.

[Kato]

Even Matt deserves better than Sonya.....

Really? I'd say it's a petty tough call. While Matt is (I guess) overall a nice person, he has no concept of monogamy. Like, at all. (Which in itself is not a problem but he fails to communicate it to his spouses as far as we know)


I'm not sure how to react to this plan of Sonya's... I'm afraid I'd seriously hurt myself by smashing my head appropriately hard against a sturdy surface... But I don't think she will succeed with Eric.

[Domochevsky]

"A plan with no drawbacks" indeed, Sonja.

[Shadow of the Sun]

Does Sonya have brain damage?

Like, seriously?

[Wraith]

"A plan with no drawbacks" could easily be our next thread title.

But, yeah. This is justa matter of how badly wrong it will go. My money is on Sonya attempting to seduce Eric, and stumbling in on Zii and Didi in a tryst that breaks BOTH their hearts just for maximum embarrassment
