I think they're just transitioning to a more traditional harem comedy. Instead of Gary being surrounded by beautiful women that he wants but can't get any of, he's surrounded by beautiful women who want him but won't ever get any of. It's the new status quo, like New Coke.

I'm actually more fond of the current status quo than the old one.
The characters are actually being more decent to each other, DiDi actually seems reasonably more realistic what with sexual frustration, and Zii is being more realistic.

Yeah, I can totally stand behind that. If it goes like this, I may actually start liking the comic.

Funny, because I'm completely the other way.
Speaking as someone who could easily identify with the old Gary, excluding the thing where he was living with two babes, turning this into a harem story will kill a lot of the appeal. I can understand that, being a genuinely nice guy and with known sexual prowess, he'd attract the attention of the people he knew at least. I could see a rivalry between Yuki, Kiley and maybe Amber on the side.
Assuming a harem situation, we seem to have Yuki, Amber, Sonya, Senna (who, for the record, is a Brazilian top model and should have no problem getting guys and/or girls enough that her memory of Gary interrupting her mid-coitus should not be a thing she actually has to pursue) and DiDi.
That's no good. It breaks my suspension of disbelief. It jumps the shark.
Or maybe not, I never got what that actually meant. My point is, it'll turn bad.

Not to try to be anti-PC, but... she has one issue that a vast majority of both men and women would have a huge issue with, a mood killer if you will. People who would be willing to have sex with her would be far between, model or not.
I am aware that this is a webcomic and not real life, but your comment seem to be based in real life.

While there is some validity to your point, and I hadn't fully considered that, I am confused as to why finding a lover would be harder in this comic than in real life? I'd say that the opposite is more likely, given that it's what the comic is essentially about. That wasn't your point, though, and I admit that her body will put off a few. I still think my point holds, though; there should be a sufficient amount of people who wants to take a walk on the wild side in the model industry to satisfy her.

I agree. I already assumed it might be well on the way of doing so when the comic of Amber and Chanelle came about, thinking Chanelle might end up pursuing Gary as well (hopefully not though, at least not until some others get off his tail).

Well, that wasn't really long ago, was it? Or i Chanelle not who I think she is?
I... really don't mind the change in dynamics. It's rather different from before, alas, but so far I'm still pleased with the comic.
Also: So, we see Kiley again, cute as ever. I wonder how frequently psychologists frequent psychologists in real life.... And whether the next patient and Kiley will get involved somehow. Another terrible 'oops, wrong name' moment incoming?
Nope, Chanelle only appeared once, about... 6 comics ago?

That'd be hilarious, though I doubt she'll end up with Matt in any way.
As to your wonderment, I don't know that many psychology students who do so (can't say anything about actual psychologists), though I've met and dated one for a short time who did so very frequently.

Seems Gary is like syphilis, once he gets in your brain, he's damn near impossible to get out. And if the Matt/Didi encounter is any indication, this Gary disease can be sexually transmitted.

I freaking love the way this bald dude looks. Seriously, just imagine all the badass **** he does on a dally basis. Psychoanalyzing people by day, kicking criminal ass at night.
Truly, he is the hero we need.

So... does anyone have a link to the guest strip, where Gary was on a TV show becasue of some sort of a promiscuity outburst he was responsible for - he even wore an outlandish hat? I'm asking, because the comic is steadily going in that direction.

Imagine if someone manages to crossbreed it with Butt's disease...the implications are terrifying...

It's perfectly common. Under British Law, Trauma Councellors (That is, medically licensed Therapists rather than self-appointed or 'lifestyle consultants') and anyone who undertakes the mental rehabilitation of someone who has experienced traumatic events are required to see a Therapist of their own at scheduled intervals.
The idea is that they come across a lot of distressing stories and damaged people in their line of work, and they themselves have to work out any ill effects from the empathy that they need to have for their patients. Certain Social Workers and branches of the Police also, I believe.
Is it just me, or is Yuki incredibly cute with her hair down?

Yes, she is.
Her state of undress helps immensely as well.
You know, I cannot honestly see how this is going to fall out- I'm familiar with the character's respective personalities, but they've not really interacted with each other until now.
I guess Didi is going to aggressively make some sort of claim on Gary- and Yuki doesn't seem like the sort to allow anyone to come between her and her obessions partners. Cue catfight and poor Gary having to deal with a long cold war between the two.

Hm... the thing is that DiDi really changed over the last months... Last year or so I'd have said they will have a nice talk, Yuki will freak out (probably, not even sure... she's possessive but sharing is not the same as giving up) and we'll go from there...
Now? Don't know. I don't expect a wet, soapy cat fight but... a man can dream?
I dunno, I got the impression that Didi is screwing up her courage to ask for a favor of yuki. "Can I borrow your boyfriend for the night? I just need one good night of screaming orgasms and he seems like he can deliver." Of course, this will likely bring up WHY she thinks he can deliver, and we will get the fallout of yuki learning he slept with kiley while she was away.

Oddly enough i'm kinda seeing this scene play out like that Hitchcock movie, where the woman gets stabbed in the shower by the usual psycho killer. Psycho? I hear it's somewhat famous for that scene.
(Never seen it myself.)
And iunno, i'm kinda liking the regular haircut better.
This interaction has me curious; as has been mentioned, it's really hard to predict both in terms of direction and outcome.
I've a feeling that if the fight does get physical, Yuki might actually have an advantage. DiDi might be freakishly strong, but she doesn't seem aggressive in a physical sense, whereas Yuki is vicious.

Why? It's not like they would cover up any of her prominent features anyway...
