I think the thing to remember with the "new-found morals" bit is that it's pretty clearly in reference to Zii's current moral standpoint on cheating being, well, pretty new to her.

Is it bad that one of the first things I could see resulting from today's comic being a revisiting of the threesome, but with Zii in Gary's place?

Of course, the other thing I could see as a result would simply be them trying to resolve their differences (albeit in a very loud way, bigtime argument and all), but not necessarily getting anywhere.

Wow, Erik, way to be completely dumb. If I were Zii I think I would be kind of pissed that he's like, yup, I'm testing you.

Also, it didn't occur to me before, but putting Yuki and Sonya together could be very bad for Gary. Sonya saw him on a sort of date with Kiley.

I'm kinda impressed with him, actually. Straight up, honest and she immediately knows what's up. And it shows that he is aware of what's going on, too.

Interesting saving throw by Zii here, though. Could go either way for her.

I'm not sure if I'm sad about the lack of comic or happy about the cute chicks... well, I AM disappointed the pics are not rated the same as the comic.

Very neat pictures.

These put the spot on something I haven't actually considered before, namely Zii's tattoo. Is it kanji, and if so, does anyone know what it says?

Look at the On reading to get the actual explanation.

Though I guess a tattoo meaning "panties" would have been kinda in character for Zii.

We're talking about cosplay, though. Power Girl cosplayers have the...figure for Didi.

Yes, and that certainly helps, but taken as a whole, Power Girl generally is depicted as having stronger, more toned build, while Didi is ALL curves.

Yeah, I'm thinking for DiDi you might want the few people who can pull a really convincing Jessica Rabbit, hips and legs and all. There's admittedly some overlap with Power Girl there, but it's not quite the same kind of body.

DiDi is supposed to be freakishly strong though, isn't she?

If she is, she certainly doesn't look the part, though I suppose significant core strength would be needed for support.

Early on, she pretty casually one-handed boxes that Gary was struggling with.

Either she had Herculean strength despite her perfect porcelain doll figure, or Gary was just that much of a hopeless wimp.

She was strong enough that Zii was convinced that Didi was packing some extra junk in her trunk...

Bit of column a, bit of column b.
The thing is though, she doesn't LOOK that strong. Power Girl generally does actually look strong. Look at Alex Ross's depiction for example. Didi that ain't.

Depends on the artist.

Amanda Conner's Power Girl, for example:

Kind of going back a bit all of a sudden, but by "thin kimono" and "undergarment" I'm trying to think of the English equivalent... a petticoat, maybe?

I don't know if that's an in-universe reference to something. Or maybe it's just a description of Zii - Slippery When Wet.

Why is Zii permanently so pissed off all the time now?

This isn't really entertaining right now, it's just Zii being grumpy.

Yeah, she's not going to find a topic to appease both at the same time, given what a tangled mess this is...

(I don't see Zii being pissed off actually. More like she's trying to do some damage control.)

But why? She never cared before and so far nothing that happened in the comic did any lasting damage. I guess it's reasonable, but why start with that now?
