Yes she does. Jerry saw it clearly. Yes, it appears mutual and healthy, it's only noteworthy because the dynamic seems reverse to how they appear in public. Yes. Yes ... however, she may be better at it that your dad. So far, we don't even know her goals for Nanase, so we can't be sure how well her behavior works for those. Yes, even without Tedd's technology or Grace's biology there are options (although adoption wouldn't help in this case), but it still reduces the chance to have children somewhat. Not always, yes. As I mentioned, Nanase might sometimes wonder if she wasn't too impulsive, but I think she can't resist too long. Fox is connected to Nanase's subconscious even when not directly controlled. I think it may be more like masturbation than incest. Specifically, I think that NANASE has the capacity to enjoy things Fox feels. I'm not sure how exactly would various things with Fox feel. But I think that Nanase does. That they might find out that some things don't feel right but that they tried. Note that the loss of credibility was failure of direct control AND that Nanase might be better at it now. You're right, saying that she's FV5 male was incorrect. What I meant was that she started as FV5 male (which is not same as being male), and I think that the dreamworld memories helped her a lot to not feel like Elliot's copy ... but, yes, definitely didn't do anything to lower her libido. ... funny point but I don't think so. I also don't think her livespan was lowered due to being part squirrel. You'd think that in the long run, people without a half-breed ancestor would be rare. I don't think that people without ANY fairy in ancestor would be rare. I think they are EXTINCT. That every human in current EGS world has some fairy ancestors, though not necessarily fairy genes. Reference. However, that doesn't need to be true when we speak about Adrian specifically. He may not be that old. I will probably no longer care by then. You are pessimist. I don't plan to die or stop reading EGS for any other reason. (Granted, not everything goes according to plan ...) Also, it's still open question if dying forces you to stop reading webcomics. Philosophers and theologists are arguing about it for thousands of years already. Well, ok, not SPECIFICALLY about webcomics, but about related questions. Susan's shower is likely plenty big. Hmmm ... maybe. She seemed happy enough with the results. She's happy with the autocleaning purity. Something different but equally desirable to her.

Now I know how people feel when I geek out on either programming or TTRPG design stuff. Yes, better. I mean, I still don't understand it of course, but at least I can recognize the geekdom. I also have bad rhythm and poor hand eye coordination. Musician is a career that I could not even start to take. I can barely be a music fan. Well, you shouldn't, however I'm sure there are musicians with same problems but more confidence who got to lot of money despite them.

I wonder how far in advance Dan had this ready. Like, was he stalling on purpose so fem-Justin appears in main story first? There is no confusion. Justin was just teasing her. On a related note, I wonder if there is game where NPC is teasing you until you attack and cause some damage to them. Because, well, not only player characters in game are heavily armed and knows magic, but they generally are more ready to use that than normal people ... so, anyone teasing them shouldn't be surprised.

Baritone? Isn't that role usually played by a Tenor? Baritone, Tenor, what should someone imagine under it? Can't people use some clear units, like Hertz? Or, say, A♭2 - C5 , if 103.83Hz-523.25Hz is too long for them?

... if he knew he can get such response from ELLIOT he wouldn't bother waiting for pizza. Now, other reactions: Ellen's mom is young, so she doesn't see that big problem with it ... but for Susan and Nanase, the combination of "Mom" and "Hot" seems weird. We saw their moms, so it shouldn't be that surprising. Also, yes, it's totally scan worthy. Also, yes, Diane, we can scan you too but we already have blonde Susan you can use as backup in case of problems. And regarding comments ... well, lot of comics have problems with technology due to sliding time ... but only Dan might be thinking about how he might need to make the characters higher in few years.

For start, she's not as well-balanced as she pretends to be. Also good point. And we are not sure about the Lespuko one either. Which makes even less likely she would feel they are looking over her shoulders. Regarding sexuality, I think she had NO authority figure actually ... everything she knows she got herself on internet - or from Tedd. I think both Rhoda and Catalina are aware that Catalina is impulsive, and Rhoda though it was cute that she was apologizing for what she did. Rhoda knows it didn't mean Catalina was choosing Elliot over her. I see it as healthy interaction accommodating each others quirks. Not the fact she apologizes. HOW she did. I'm not saying she has ropes and handcuffs (not that there would be anything bad on it), but I think they behave little switched in their relationship ... possibly due to Catalina fearing she would scare Rhoda away otherwise. Has not been subject of the comics, yet, so we don't know. She was mousey and nerdy on retro-introduction, is apparently over all nerdy still (tutoring, also picking up on her magic so quickly and in depth), hangs out with two alpha chicks for much of the early comic, probably initially just to make it three before Dan fleshed her out, seems to fit in with them, until he gives her a personality, and she seems uncomfortable around them and you have to wonder why she puts up with them. Stockholm Syndrome? Of course it's all speculation ... but speaking about hanging out with Diane and Lucy, I see it as her needing some protection. They might not look like type she would like to hang around, but they protected her from even WORSE people. Yes. It's Lucy who would be the unknown one. Her Mom pretends a lot. I wouldn't be so sure how she would react. It's not just magic, she knows much more than she seem to. And I'm sure her Mom is actually proud of her, but doesn't want to admit it to her because she fears Nanase needs as much incentive to get even better as possible. ... thinking about it, I wouldn't be that much surprised if she suddenly turns and goes ok with Nanase's relationship with Ellen specifically due to realizing they can get children with Tedd's help. I mean, I long assume that her only problem with lesbian relationship is that it usually doesn't result in children, and she really wants Nanase to continue the dynasty. (Or is correct world "house"?) ... not per se, however, I think she's specifically bad at resisting temptation regarding Ellen. Maybe due to Ellen being one of things she choose for her rebellion, her usual discipline is weakened ... or maybe she has just that high libido ... but I'm sure she's extremely impulsive with Ellen, especially regarding sex. I'm also sure they already had threesome with Fox and are using magic in their sexy times in general. Oh, and regarding Ellen ... Ellen is FV5 male. Both implies higher libido. And she decided to stop being "stick in the mud". And she doesn't have to worry about pregnancy (because they are both girls - maybe she already got the same advice from her mother that Elliot did). I don't think she would be stopping anywhere. She was thinking the dress would get attention from Tedd, maybe not beyond that. Although, you have a point, she must have an awareness that it would interest Tedd; she's not being naive. Here Grace talks about Elliot changing to ... oh wait, it's not Elliot changing to Tedd, it's about Elliot changing to HER while WITH Tedd. And she certainly though beyond that and I think she's ready for everything if Tedd would want it ... what I'm not sure is how far Tedd, who is aware of this, is willing to go. Because, as already mentioned, his perverse self was mostly pretending. And Grace, while ready for everything, probably doesn't actually WANT everything yet. Unless her biological clocks started ticking aloud, and she should be too young for that. Maybe only half of Europe. That tree spreads fast. Depends on WHEN it actually was, but yes, half of Europe (AND U.S.) being Adrian descendants wouldn't really surprise me. If the number would be below ten, THAT would surprise me. I didn't think so either, but that look. Something is being foreshadowed. In any case, Dan's going to tie up these loose ends sometime, isn't he? Dan is also known to be very bad at guessing how long something would take. He might start foreshadowing already not realizing it will take literally years until he can fit it in story. And tying up all loose ends? He will try, but unless he became immortal, he has about same chance as J.R.R.Tolkien. They should already, if they are not totally incompetent. Diane was at one reported incident and got dangerous amount of info, AND they certainly noticed she's still hanging with Nanase and Ellen, and other people she hands with are Rhoda and Lucy, meaning they should start investigating if Rhoda and Lucy are possible indirect danger to Nanase and Ellen. ... we will see how well Rhoda is keeping her magic secret. Susan has already released Elliot from a relationship that they didn't really have, in her own mind, and given her blessing to his relationship with Ashley. Also, she already sees Ashley as at least a friendly acquaintance, if not a friend. She won't move in on their relations ship. It would have to be all three of them in the shower. Ashley approves, and Susan also get to watch. She released Elliot in the "exclusive" sense. If she realizes relationship can include more than two people ... yes they might end up in shower all three, assuming they find shower big enough. ... they are going to rent the size change wand won't they? (Note that this likely starts with Susan somehow getting allowed to watch, then later asked if she also wants to participate and responding that only if it would be in shower ...) Current Fable NP doesn't contain the mental component of FV5 which is what Susan would be interested in. ... add to dictionary ...

>>> "Of course, it may not be from him." <<< Although, that house, we're talking at least a mid level exec. Or, just just comes from money, inheritance or trust fund. ... Guessing she's an exec, based on the France trip. Used to getting what she wants, the school caved to her demands, she knew how to get it done; it reeks of someone with power. Also, Susan, is used to being home alone, Mom must have a job that keeps her away. It's also possible she was actress or something like that, but one who actually managed her money instead of being at mercy of her agent and/or manager. But even if she was exec, it's important if she still IS exec. I know that the we only saw her once with wine, but on the other hand it was nearly 100% of cases we saw her ... and the possibility she's no longer working (and is not exactly happy about it) would match. I'm saying based on the statement of "without him knowing" there could have been partners that he slept with, and then remained in contact long enough to know they didn't get pregnant, whereas with Diane's mom, Adrian said they had agreed it was a one time thing and that she never came back to him when she got pregnant, Susan's ancestor could have been similar. Yes about others and Diane, but I would assume Susan's ancestor was case of Adrian not being that responsible yet. Hmm, ... it seemed she enjoyed it, but also was happy to disengage. If nothing else happened since then I'd think she was willing to let sleeping cats lie. But since she is actively pursuing changing her outlook, maybe she sees feminine Justin as an opportunity to further that. If so, she'll probably say so in the next few comics and ask to be transformed male. She enjoyed it, but she also let her hormones control her. Hormones which were result of transformation and not entirely hers. I would even say that she enjoyed the loss of control more than the sexuality. >>> "I'm going to guess slow burn, not exactly ace." <<< I agree with the barrier being upbringing, imposed guilt, not an internalized sense of wrong; I would think not squicked. She could have continued, she would have enjoyed it, but her parents would have been looking over her shoulder, pointing their fingers, and that bothered her. Grace's parents? All four? ... I guess you are talking about Ashley while I was talking about Grace's upbringing. Where is that hinted? Context? The way Catalina was apologizing for kissing with Elliot. I don't think it's family. I think she had lot of bad experience with collective, maybe starting from kindergarten. I wouldn't call the months the comics cover a long time in terms of relationship. Stable, yes, especially for high schoolers, and plenty of time for opportunity. I'll stand by my assessment, they still have their hangups. Maybe more so that Susan, who, while more severe, is aware of them and pursuing change. Nanase is slow to open up to change from what we've seen. Disagree. To me, Nanase's behaviour especially in Playing with Dolls suggests she has trouble resisting temptation and probably got very far then wasn't sure about it ... and did it again. Yes, but I think that's what he DIDN'T wanted. Definitely. I would even hazard a guess and assume that it wasn't ONLY relationship he started that way, but in those other cases, it lasted longer or at least he was in contact with the woman longer so he knew she wasn't pregnant. Even if it was Tedd ... They sleep together. It's not a euphemism. I think she WAS thinking about sex when she dressed like this (fifth panel) ... but even that might've been more "maybe if I go overboard with it I will have more chance to get Tedd to notice". Also, remember her "therapy" when she was talking about someone's dream and ended with "but it's actually transformed Tedd" ... I think that when Tedd is involved, she thinks about sex, just more cuddling and making out than going full way. Remember she was described as "Teddsexual". I'm not clear on how out of continuity the Q&A personnel are. They seem to exist in the same universe, and they interact with the characters. Stuff they say is by definition canon. Dan's side stories tend to have impact in the main story. Do you doubt that Kitty is a character? Kitty was not Q&A, she was in continuity when in Escape from the Mall. Of course she was out-of-continuity in Goonmanji 2. Dan seems to play with the idea that out-of-continuity, the characters are actors playing the main story, but it wouldn't fit in other cases unless it's documentary about their young - which could actually work, with TF gun and their saved forms they could easily be their older selves playing their younger selves. On the other hand, in one of first Q&A, Grace specifically said that they are just few years older out-of-continuity ... Anyway, the way Amanda convinced Adrian was something like "it's out-of-continuity so it doesn't count". It's not how out of continuity Q&A is. It's definitely out of continuity. The question is what it actually means. And if it always means the same. OK, that makes sense. Pandora never said Susan was his only descendant. He could be jumping to conclusions. ... the fact he THINKS he know Susan's ancestor doesn't mean he guessed correctly, right. However, even if those would be only two cases when he had a child, note that it's likely there are other Adrian's descendants somewhere, related to Susan. Maybe she will be thinking about it but I don't think they will invite her to THIS party. Next one, maybe ... hopefully this time with actually asking Edward. True. I suspect it would just be periodic transformations. Susan is more cis that normal in this group of people. Yes, Susan would definitely not want to switch to man permanently, but she might be open to the idea of transforming occasionally ... she choose mind-bending transformation in Goonmanji. It's possible that she will actually opt for some "relaxing transformation" even in-continuity, if she wouldn't be able to change herself in standard way fast enough. And that transformation might even be to male. ... although, I would consider more likely she would go for FV5 instead. She seemed to enjoy THAT as well, and while under FV5 she might be open to sexy times with female Elliot ... and she might not regret that after transforming back, although she WILL likely spent time in shower afterwards, for not-sex-related reasons. Wait. Scratch that. FV5 doesn't lower intelligence. She will have sexy times with Elliot while IN the shower, then Elliot will soap her, leave, and Susan will detransform while washing off the soap. That should balance her germophobia or whatever with need of sexy times. ... of course, that assumes Ashley will get out of picture or will agree with that. Both is possible ...

... oh, and BTW: If Susan owns just one barbershop, it's because there is just one in whole kingdom ; which, while absurd in reality, could easily happen in game world. Glad to know I wasn't the only one that felt that way. I'm ready to excuse it for Susan in first panel, though Logically speaking, she should change clothes soon (hopefully not spending too much time on it) but I wouldn't complain if she postpones it.

That's true, he did say there wasn't a lot of moments where it could happen without him knowing. doesn't mean he only slept with two women in his life. I would say that either in other cases he was with the women long after the sex, or he deliberately was choosing women who couldn't have children anyway. Or on darker note, maybe he had sex with women who was killed afterwards. It is of course possible that he never had children in numerous long relationships and just in two cases where he couldn't know the result it was "success", but it seems more likely there was some specific reason why his other relationships didn't resulted in pregnancies. She might imagine Elliot in her previous form with Justin in panel 3 form. Or Elliot in normal form with Justin in panel 3 form ...

Ok, there once was a six month time skip between two panels in an EGS comic so it is possible that any period shorter than that might exist between any two comic panels I am making a presumption that any period longer than that would be specifically noted by the author Well ... actually, I would expect that even days would be specifically noted. Also, Edward is going to return in Sunday evening, isn't he? But it could easily take hour or two. Ok, probably didn't, but could.

... starting to seem that way ... like, ok, it IS an interesting point, but spending whole update on it seems more like trolling.

Damn 403 ... ok, another image ... Unfortunately, Trump wasn't only one. Basically, EVERYONE abandoned them, and it wasn't first time. They must be getting really desperate now - Turkey wants to destroy them and noone is willing to help them, just use them and throw them away ....

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/party-151 Ok, so which reader complain is Susan voicing? Oh. It's in the commentary. '"Multiple". Right. Also, Sarah leaning against the sofa like that might be interesting but it also suggest that they are standing suboptimally. Personally, I didn't have problem with previous version but I totally agree that English is bad for this. In fact, it's already bad for trans people and this is another level. Also for non-binary people. And yes, it would be problem with most if not all human languages. Another thing which human languages are ill-equipped to dead with is time travel. Technically, English has more than enough tenses for that, but it still doesn't work correctly. Hopefully, when time travel becomes as common as trans and non-binary people today, we will manage to extend English more logically than we now do with non-binary people. Seriously, singular they is NOT the best option, the precedent of replacing thou with singular you notwithstanding ... (of course, seems most people who use it prefer it to alternatives so we likely end with it ...)

Well, yes, but I would go for shorter skirt. How can you know? There are no timestamps on panels. Also my guess. Not sure, but it's certainly scientific interest. Being ace and wanting to go slow is something different. I would say that Ashley certainly just wants to go slow, and even think the same for Grace - her upbringing would basically means she's behind and was squicked because it was too soon for her. Rhoda is shy around people she doesn't know, she also held back how she felt about girls out of fear of being rejected by Diane, and we saw her reaction to finding out that fear was unfounded. I think Rhoda and Catalina have done a great deal of experimentation. And again, both being female has perks. Yes, Rhoda is definitely not shy around Catalina and in fact it was hinted she's little dom in their relationship. Ellen was burned on the idea of sex with men, I don't think she'd be opposed to sex with Nanase, and there's been a few instances where Ellen's implied having "sexy plans". Also Nanase was quick to suggest to Sarah that "being the same sex" was a better alternative to abstinence. And they are in relationship LONG time. Definitely enough time to get far. Either Adrian didn't get much action, did get lots of action and the fact that "less likely for a half-breed to become, or get someone pregnant" and Susan and Diane happen to be the only times when Adrian wasn't firing blanks, or maybe there are a few more half-relatives scattered about. I'm not really expecting to see any other relatives showing up in the comic unless it happens to be Susan's dad or Diane's mom. Yes it definitely seems he didn't get that much action. I would think that he would prefer long-term relationship but don't want to disappoint someone by not being able to have children ... so, like, he got some action in his twenties before he started to care and then lot later when virginity and monogamy stopped to be so important. However, I think it's not because he wouldn't like more but because he's too responsible to have more. Panel 1. You're right, it absolutely does look like something happened with that skirt. "This is the most impulsive thing I've done." - perhaps Sarah was right, Elliot was holding back with her. Panel 2 &3. We stopped, we didn't want to stop, and we both recognized we would loose control if we didn't. Panel 4. We feel continuing is inappropriate, because even though we're obviously attracted to each other, we are just getting to know each other. I think it's a fair point, sex can overshadow other aspects of a relationship; I suppose it depends on the individuals. Panel 5 & 6. If we stay here, we are going to continue. If we want to not do that, we should leave. I think the makeout session got to the point where Ashley was just starting to pull off Elliot's shirt and the scene we saw had Elliot tucking the shirt back under the band of the skirt. Heavy petting could have also just caused the shirt to become untucked. I would agree that they didn't taken clothes off but did enough for the clothes to get loose, untucked etc. Like, maybe Ashley didn't just STARTED to pull off Elliot's shirt, but she untucked it and was petting Elliot on naked back ... and the thing that made them stop was getting too close to breast, ass or too high on thigh. I wouldn't expect any touching of genitals even with just hand. Do we know that the clothing swap spell would result in the source also having the clothes put on their body? Yes. However, Nanase can do uneven clothes swap, like replacing skirt with hairband ... She doesn't want to "have" her, but she may want to watch. Yes ; It's not Tedd, so she's not thinking about sex, she's just enthusiastic about the transformations. Yeah, that was hinted VERY heavily. That was out of continuity. Maybe not just him. The arc in background might be hint that WE are looking at mirror. On the other hand, that would mean Justin holds the wand in his left hand and he was holding it in right hand on previous panel, so maybe not ... or Dan forgot about this.

Maybe. I wonder what the real upper limit on magical size change is now. We know that shrinking goes past the 50% size and now goes to at least half scale. Wonder if going up has been adjusted as well. Well, Sarah tested it with the wand and the result was negative, so, probably not? Unless Tedd really accidentally defined limit for shrinking differently than limit for growing ...

I like the Order of the Stick one about that, but I'll refrain from re-posting, because it's already been here once or twice. Short version, Haley shoots one in the foot. I won't. And yes, also good example.

Russel approached the dilemma from strictly logical standpoint and got to paradox. His results are valid and important, but not directly applicable in real world. Similarly, the famous liar paradox, while logically valid, is not applicable in real world for the simple reason that even the most experienced liars - in fact, often ESPECIALLY the most experienced liars - are saying truth most of the time. The most effective lie is one which is mostly true. Or even COMPLETELY true - just not answering the question which was asked. Also, yes, crocodiles usually simply eat the child without asking any questions. And the famous trick with one guard telling truth and one lying can only be realised with magical guardians, because human ones will always answer the adventurer truthfully in non-verbal way, most even BEFORE he throws them through the door they labeled as safe. I personally really enjoy the paradoxes, but that doesn't stop me from knowing some of the unsaid assumptions making them work only theoretically.

There's the Fusion Paste as well that would have given Nanase some Justin features in both male and female flavours. .... aaaaand Nanase would likely not object to such idea. In fact we may get it next page. Almost forgot this song:

So not only is it being meta about game rules, it's being meta about rules and mods that don't exist. You can't see it right now because you aren't in the same room with me, but I have an eye twitch going on right now. Do you have webcam? Also, every game is moddable. Some are easier, some are harder. The mods to disable copy protections tend to be popular. It's happening more often in real life, where there is real economy and real people producing those things, than in games, where the shop is coded with fixed inventory as it's the easier option.

I don't think she was uncomfortable, given that she was shorter than Nanase in "Playing with Dolls" and she ended up taking that form(among others) in a watch home with her. It's probably more likely that she felt the need to question the logic behind it. Maybe not uncomfortable, but certainly smaller than her pre-growth-spurt height. Also, I think that she wanted that short form because it had more curves. Proportionally.

https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/parable-100 ... does it mean she remains at level 1 range? Hey, level 2 range wasn't THAT tall ... although strategically, I agree, higher level in magic has priority. And there are always cosmetic potions. Also, good, we didn't spend three strips on this.

My perspective is dated; doubtless there has been some consolidation. Still, not only PERL has regular expressions. There is definitely lot of other regular expressions libraries, but the PCRE one (which, while compatible with perl, is NOT the same one perl is using) is the most feature-rich, making it obvious choice in lot of cases. Packages using it includes not just php and grep, but also syslog-ng, apache, slang, proftpd, nmap, git, clamav ... Lol, true. And there's that whole thing about who shaves you if you're a barber that shaves people who don't shave themselves. Obviously, he does, but it's for free, so he needs to keep it secret, especially from IRS.

How? Did I miss a version of her copy beam that lets her mix forms? Yes.

I also don't think Diane needs that much convincing to make Elliot try Nanase ... Also, as if Ellen couldn't make Nanase-Justin hybrid herself. From herself. ... ... but I think squirrels have bigger potential:

If I ever get so desperate to use that abomination that I actually am willing to put in a photo, I believe I'll borrow one from a friend... maybe this friend... or this one... Slack insisted on upgrading my profile with my photo taken with camera. I decided to use this face: (Technically, this is stock photo, my own monchichi looks bit differently, mostly less clean, but you get the idea.) For google+, I actually used my own photo. Taken from like hundred meters, with camera already not top spec back then. I think my face had about five pixels on height. Good luck with identification.
