Follow the link Dan put in his comments: It's Camdin, Luke's smokey friend. I'm guessing his backstory is that he followed Grace the super-chick.

I remember hearing about a study that seemed to show that on average women with large bosoms did have higher IQ scores. I think it was on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. But today I actually Binged it (I'm running Edge since a bug ruined my Chrome last month) and I kind of suspect Hachi's idea came from here. While I doubt Pamela Anderson's IQ is up there with Einstein's or Hawking's, there was a woman with naturally large mammary glands who was a genius: Jayne Mansfield. Her daughter Mariska Hargitay doesn't seem to be light on smarts. And I now realize I've posted on the wrong webcomic site. This was for I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle.

When Elliot made a date with Ashley about two weeks after breaking up with Sarah, Grace thought it was too soon. So how does Grace really feel about Sarah dating after a little more than two weeks later?

Finally got to see how Sam looked like as a girl.

Grace being Grace, I expect her to want to tell Sam he should really talk to Sarah, even if she's not sure it's the right thing.

Ah, yes, Victor von Hip, the King of Pamphlets. Somehow Sarah had one of his pamphlets on the same day Grace met Victor, even though Sarah goes to a different high school. Gee, maybe Victor even printed the pamphlets Adrian was passing out on that fateful Friday Susan first met her great-by-who-knows-how-many-times grandfather. Next thing you know we'll be hearing again about Randal.

The lights were every other Immortal on Earth forced to cast Pandora's final spell. I guess that should have included Voltaire. So, what next? Well, that last panel could provide some awkwardness if there are any witnesses. Heck, if anyone overheard the conversation. I'm guessing there will be some kind of complication soon because the last panel seems like a natural way to end this arc. But Dan didn't end it, or at least didn't tell us this was the end.

My very first reaction on seeing that comic was that Sam was really worried about hurting Sarah's feelings. That kind of concern for someone you just met pretty much defines love at first sight, at least for me.

Does Sam even think Tedd is a girl or a boy at this point? Sam told Tedd he might want to keep "Tess" in mind at the end of their round at the card tournament, so Sam thought Tedd might be a girl even if he had a masculine name, and Sam just might have picked up that Larry and Rich thought Tedd was a girl. Sam might have also thought that Tedd might be a girl in a boy's body. Going out on a limb, Sam could have been attracted to Tedd. Sam has probably had a lot of practice now being attracted to people but being careful not to get into any real dating situation. I'm guessing Sam is attracted to girls, but this being EGS, I'm not ruling out some attraction to boys, too, even boys who are not Noah.

I'm wondering if Sam knows Grace is Tedd's girlfriend? I kind of doubt it because Sam has only seen Tedd once (that we know of) and Sam didn't notice that Tedd changed genders if he's the one who sent that message to Elliot. Sarah could have mentioned Grace is Tedd's girlfriend on their not-date or over the web or even over the phone (although the phone and the web are getting harder and harder to tell from each other.) Grace probably will want to tell Tedd and Sarah that she's told Sam and why, so a get-together for the quartet sounds like a pretty good idea, possibly after Grace tells Sam something like "I really shouldn't tell you anything else about this until I talk to a couple of people."

Good save. Bad idea to forget any woman's birthday, especially a woman with dragon magic.

Sam says he found the note from Pandora when he woke up "two Fridays ago". Working back from current story time, Monday evening, in this comic: Saturday, two days ago: Sam ran away when he spotted Grace at the mall. One Friday ago (three days ago): Sam avoided showing up at Salty Crackers. Two Fridays ago: Found the note first thing in the morning. Went on the not-date with Sarah that evening, possibly transformed. Also that evening, magic changed. Three Fridays ago: Sam met Sarah. The earliest date for this would have been January 10th since the events in Identity took at least a week of school to play out and occur after the end of the Christmas-New Years break. So one Friday ago it had to be at least January 24th and it must be at least January 27th in this comic. I hope Dan doesn't forget Valentine's day; it might not be more than a few years away in our time.

That sounds like something Pandora could and would do, but I doubt if the placement of the third text box is accidental. The premise of the breast pockets is, after all, to disguise Sam's breasts. What's behind that text box? Could be: Breast pockets on the black shirt, disguising breasts. No pockets, but Sam has bound his breasts like any number of females passing as males in anime and manga. No pockets and a flat, male chest. No pockets because Sam has revealed his secret to Sarah--and neither Grace nor Ellen knows this yet. Sarah cares about Sam and would want to keep his secret unless she felt there was a compelling reason not to. It's also canon that the duration of transformations depends on what the transformee feels about that transformation. As long as the transformee likes the transformation, it's permanent. The sticker for Sam would be that some people, certainly his family, know that he's physically and biologically female, so unless he's ready to reveal his power, he'll want to be "normal" for them.. But maybe by now Sam has learned to manage his transformations, since he felt comfortable coming into the comic shop even though he was spooked by Grace earlier in the week.

"Might suggest"? ... where was that "understatement of month" image … In the third panel of TSoS-04 Sam doesn't have his shirt-of-many-pockets on. This was in a flashback to the first date between Sarah and Sam. However, Dan "might" have chosen a significant placement for the text box containing "A tacky, terrible gift."

How much of this did Gordon overhear?

Very plausible' Pandora did mark Sarah and Tedd at the comic shop the same night Sarah met Sam. The open shirt might suggest that Sam actually has a male body now.

But the real suspense here is: Will we actually see Gordon in the next comic? Stay tooned, as Mark Tatulli often says.

True, and Ashley wears her ponytail on her left whereas Grace is a righty, at least in this comic. But Grace was flying around looking for Ashley as well as Elliot and Ellen, and certainly Sarah and Tedd have met her, so Grace should at least have a pretty good idea of how Ashley looks.

Maybe got the idea from Ashley?

http://egscomics.com/comic/tsos-19 I'm guessing Voltaire's just found a new toy to play with.

And she didn't go on further; Elliot stopped herself. Didn't need to fall off the couch. Well, I guess there's no deadline until high school is over, maybe around 2030 in our time.

Or it might indicate that he's more up for sex when he's a she. http://egscomics.com/comic/2005-10-15 http://egscomics.com/comic/2006-01-20 http://egscomics.com/comic/2006-02-15 http://egscomics.com/comic/2006-05-31

Grace could turn out to be right. Quite awhile ago I pointed out that Ashley could be the transitional girlfriend here. Remember that Elliot broke up with Sarah before he met Ashley because he realized how much he was attracted to Susan, and more than physically. And hasn't Elliot treated Ashley even more like a little sister who needs protecting than he's ever done with Sarah?
