Could be, but I think the person Tedd is most worried about learning he is genderfluid is his mother. Ironically, Noriko could already know this from Van. This is why I think Tedd's mom would be the most interesting party crasher.

http://egscomics.com/comic/party-073 Elliot gets an expression but no speech balloon.

Susan has known Tedd as a girl since Grace's birthday party, where Susan got to experience being a boy. Susan actually has a Tedd fairy doll now. Diane, however, is a stranger to Tedd, so, yes. Of course, by the time Susan and Diane arrive, Susan should have already explained that Tedd can change his gender and often does, so when Diane actually meets Tedd, she might say something like "You look just like Nanase when you're a girl" when Tedd is a boy.

I'm under the impression that Dan didn't want to draw any more fleeing bystanders that didn't have anything to contribute to the story in his head at the time. He implied that there are people in the parking lot when Ashley undid her ponytail to change her appearance, but didn't show any other people who weren't developed characters until after Tara destroyed the spider vampire. He also didn't show the train that delayed Ellen, Nanase, and Ashley; it was just "sound effects" including "CHOO-CHOO" which was absolutely absurd--I haven't seen an actual working steam locomotive since 1955! I think I made that last point before, but I'm going to elaborate: Steam locomotives in the United States were well on their way to be replaced by diesels or electrics by the end of the 1930s. World War II gave them a reprieve. Anyway, the second incident in the Moperville Mall in less than a week should have drawn a lot of police, media, and lookie-loos, and Dan could pull all sorts of plot points from that premise if he wants to at any time.

Maybe Ashley is blushing (again) because she's thinking about baseball? Given Nanase's clothing and pose in the next-to-last panel, I'd vote for flirting too, even if Nanase might not be aware of what she's doing. Might also explain why Ashley's made Nanase uncomfortable from day one. Diane would love to, but given how she doesn't like to be caught geeking out like Elijah, she probably wouldn't admit it. Diane might figure out that Ashley is the reason why Nanase is wearing that very abbreviated outfit.

Uh-oh. Nanase seems to be thinking "Ashley held Grace, but she doesn't want to hold me?"

Nothing at all if you are a Gurkha.

Wouldn't that mean that all defensive players have to do is stand still and let the leading offensive player run closer to the goal?

http://egscomics.com/comic/party-069 Grace exudes!

It's hard enough finding a bed for three.

Sometimes they exude on you while you're changing their diapers.

The big idea in this comic is that Grace is exuding confidence she really doesn't have. The Secret of Sam showed Grace second-, third-, and fourth-guessing from beginning to end. Rhoda seems to have more self-confidence than both Grace and Ashley at this point in the overall story.

Yes, Sarah did see Ellen undressed here, and immediately ran upstairs here.

Well, at least Ashley hasn't run upstairs yet like Sarah did when she saw Ellen naked in MV5.

http://egscomics.com/comic/party-067 No pitchforks and torches yet...

Yes, they are quite effective in stealing nuts. Cash or credit, not so. But give them pockets...

So, fashion for squirrels?

http://egscomics.com/comic/party-064 Looks like we'll have a party crasher...

http://egscomics.com/comic/party-065 Still in the video store, folks.

So Mr. Tensaided, Rhea, Rick, and Elijah would not be plot-convenient. Unless, of course, Dan decides they are. Tonight (its after midnight here) I'm expecting we will be going back to the party on Wednesday, but we might find out later that someone in the video store did pick up at least part of this.

Possibly because Diane was there to hear Dame Tara describe the strange difference between Elliot and Ellen, along with Diane's potential as a vampire hunter.
