Ménage à 3 IV: It's All Coming to a Head

[OrchestraHc]

Wait, do Wii U's not come with anything? Wii came with Sports at least. I thought they came with Nintendo Land?

Further research reveals this to be a deluxe thing. Huh.

Latest Magick Chicks has Jacqui carrying a mountain lion

[Kato]

Hm... Gary's not exactly polite, I'll admit. But then he has little idea how dating works, has he?

So the date is now moving over to Sandra's place... okay, if that man was any other than Gary I KNOW how it would end in this comic. Okay, with Gary we also know it will end...


sidenote: Dillon is helping Ruby awaken her libido... Well, it's about time, I guess.

[Traab]

Seriously Senna? Does she LOOK like she is suffering terribly? She is going to live in some big fancy penthouse or something and you will rage so hard that you spontaneously sprout a beard.

[Weimann]

I would pay to see that. That'd be awesome.

It strikes me that maybe I should actually catch up on SotR and SDB.

[Coidzor]

Second.

Clearly you've never met somebody like Senna.

Unfortunately, I have.

The ability of certain people to completely ignore reality to favor their preconceived little world view never ceases to amaze me.

Huh, you don't happen to talk about my ex, do you? (Nah, she's okay... except the bit where she only remembers stuff she want to remember)


So, Senna instantly forgets about Gary because of dreamy French baker. Can't really blame her. To be quite honest, I'm not sure what exactly drew her to Gary in the first place... Yeah, he's kind of cute but I thought Senna was... more demanding?

[John Cribati]

By now, you should understand that Gary is only attractive because he's te main character.

[Kato]

Now that's unfair. DiDi is attracted to him because she thinks he's an orgasm machine, Yuki was attracted to him because they share a bunch of interests (foremost art), Kiley is attracted to him because they at least had a good date and I guess some other chemistry (and swirly). Senna has none of that from what I can recall. Except for a drunk make-out.

Can't really blame her, it's expected as part of her established characterization. Have some of column A, try all of column B.... As for her seizing upon Gary? I figure it was... opportunity, vulnerability, and proximity. Probably some spontaneity and familiarity too, rather than what would generally be considered "legitimate interest."

Well, no, I think most of the main cast is physically attractive and that's more because of the artistic direction of the comic. Even the overweight Korean guy is has a fairly handsome face and the indeterminately aged 30-50 year old shut-in has a baby face. Only unattractive person I can recall in comic was the ancient landlady.

True, but to be fair, that is true for a lot of webcomics, if not media in general.After all, who wants to look at ugly people?


So, it seems Senna will go on a killing spree before this arc is over. She does have the worst luck, though.

That really just reinforces my rebuttal of Herpestidae though.

Sounds like fun. Honestly it seems like Senna lost one gig but is still sitting pretty since she has time to jet around the globe *and* feel sorry for herself, so, really, she'll be fine as long as she doesn't get her karmic comeuppance by trying to be Sandra's undoing.

[Cikomyr]

Wait. Sandra's PR representative only discover NOW what she's done, and why she's starting to attrack so much darn traffic?

Wow. She's out of the loop, ain't she?

[Guancyto]

She thought Google Analytics was to blame.

So... yes. Just a bit out of the loop. Out of any loop.

[Domochevsky]

Um, I appear to be out of the loop as well. What's on those photos and why's she flipping out?

[Coidzor]

Um, I appear to be out of the loop as well. What's on those photos and why's she flipping out?

Could be that Sandra was photographed eating something. The other one looks like her just walking around and being caught not being 100% under her handlers' control.

[The Rose Dragon]

Um, I appear to be out of the loop as well. What's on those photos and why's she flipping out?

One of them is her unplanned appearance as that game character she is so fond of, where she practically forced the entire game to be overhauled. The other... I don't know.

[Kato]

I think they are both of her on the convention... But yeah, it's really hard to make out.
Going back, yeah, the one is panel 2 of comic 50, the other the tv screen seen in comic 51, panel 2.

[Avilan the Grey]

So, Sandra now has a porn name?

[The Rose Dragon]

Reading both of them through individually has made me realize that while both Sandra on the Rocks and Menage a 3 cover the same events, they do so both without having the exact same panels, and while remaining readable without having to read do other. So someone who reads just Sandra on the Rocks can still have a sense of continuity without missing anything important on Sandra's end, while someone who does the same for Menage a 3 can read it without missing anything important on Gary's end. Which is actually kind of nice, even if people who read both have to put up with some redundancy.

True; they also are about half a strip shifted, so if you read both you kind of get smaller updates twice as often instead of retelling of the same events. As far as writing technicalities go, this is a very interesting way to do a crossover.

[John Cribati]

Yeah, I’ve been following both out of curiosity. About 1/2 to 3/4 of either strip is copied over. Usually it’ll go that the next SoTR will start with the last two panels of the newest Ma3 an introduce two more, and then Ma3 will take the last panel of that one and add three. Sometimes Rey add something to the middle.

Surprisingly Ma3 this time didn't pick up the last panel.

Okay, so... what do you guys think: Will turning into a spineless male really make all women flock towards me? Sadly I can't really do the artist bit but as Yuki is the only one who seems to care for that it's probably not essential.


sidenote: Layla, I thought you were smarter than that.

sidenote2: DC doesn't follow the Dogma rules of angel anatomy. Good to know(???)

[The Rose Dragon]

I almost feel bad for Gary.

Almost.

No, it wont. But just like everything else, there is a subset of women who will find that attractive. The hard part is locating an area where the opposite gender tends to have a higher concentration of your particular kink than usual.

Must you challenge my stupid questions with your logic?


Also, I start to like bossy assistant person... FOR SCIENCE!


And I still don't like where EC is going. (I guess I can stop telling you that now)

[Kato]

So, is interest in Ma3 (and all sister comics) really dropping that rapidly with the latest arc? Or is there just nothing to say about it? I guess the plots on the most part are just... advancing slowly with nothing major happening.

Do... do Miis really do that kind of stuff? Heck, do they even do anything? I thought they were just your avatars and wouldn't do anything interactive outside of games....


Still hating what's happening to Nina. But in the last comic she got disturbingly sexy even for me.

[Traab]

I think there is like Mii park or something like that where you can run around online with your avatar and meet other people but im not sure. My niece has it, not me.

Well, this is kind of a relaxed breather arc after the drunken craziness that happened over the last couple months.

Also, Mii's are more utilized in some games than others. Some games (like racing games) your Mii's will actually appear along the track in the crowd, others will be NPCs in towns you visit, etc.
