    Considering that magic is jerking him around, i'd say his reaction is justified.

    Tedd's reaction doesn't bode well.
     
    However I love Pandora's response in the last panel.

    The Egyptian god of magic who summons excellent scones for tea (Possibly a legacy of the long British occupation of Egypt.)
    It hasn't been officially debunked, quite. However, something Heka almost finished telling to Pandora strongly suggests that Fairies have lots of descendants. (Heka calls Pandora a "Fairy" because the former Fairies calling themselves "Immortals" now implies that they are the only Immortals, leaving out other immortal beings, such as Heka.) It certainly impiies that Tedd, a seer, and Edward and all other human wizards are descended from at least one Fairy/Immortal, which also means that they must have at least one elf ancestor.
    Adrian told Grace back during Death Sentence that "Half-Immortals cannot have children." But he didn't explain why Grace saw an image of Susan staring back at her from the mirror she'd just used in the previous panel. And Adrian's statement might not be true. He could have been lying (for a good reason, of course) or he might have believed he was telling the truth but was wrong. And since this comic is now over five years old, it is possible that Dan has decided on a different truth than was true when he made that comic.
    As I mentioned awhile ago, the next time we see Pandora is when she appears in Susan's bedroom where Jerry is puzzling over the relationship (or lack of it) between Susan and Diane. This kind of implies that whatever Heka said to Pandora suggested that Susan was suddenly important to her, even though Pandora had never been shown with or mentioned Susan in the ten-plus years since her introduction in Hidden Genesis. 
    And on the next visit Pandora pays to EGS, she tells Sarah that she told a lie to her son something that wasn't true and ends the comic with the now-notorious statement "Of course they were his!"
    Now, none of this is absolute proof that half-immortals like Adrian can have children, but if Dan decides that they can't after all this, it proves that Dan is a big doofus.

    If you're serious about this theory, Voltaire is sure a crappy great-granddad. Also, if Mrs. Pompoms is so wealthy, how come Mr. Verres has such modest means?
    On the other hand, if Mrs. Pompoms is Edward's cousin, it might give him reason to be as upset as he is with the cheating cheater who cheated who married her.

    He may want to do some additional experiment? Maybe the "what's the point" question is why he's not exactly enthusiastic about it.
    I think she wanted to talk with him, so yes she intended to reveal herself.
    PS: Anyone having link to where it was said? I though it was sometime around Susan mentioning she's Tiffany but seems it wasn't. I think it was mentioned once on "lunch" in school and once much later Grace used whole name addressing Tedd.
    PPS: Found it.

    Mama Kistune may hate Mr. Raven, but she wants the best for Nanase, and Mr. Raven is one of the best teachers around (especially history, as he could technically be a first hand source for some of it). Mr. Raven is also highly protective of his students, as seen when Abraham attacked the school, so Mama Kitsune wouldn't have to worry as much if something bad happens at the school.

    The Kitsunes seem to be a bit too pureblooded Japanese for Adrian to be in their ancestry. For example, that they speak Japanese fluently at home implies that they haven't been living in America for too many generations--Nanase's great-grandparents may have come over as young adults after WWII. I doubt that the majority of their ancestors were in America before the passing of the various Oriental Exclusion Acts early in the 20th century.

    Compare with the face in this mirror. Notice that both images have sidelocks which Susan doesn't wear.

    Can be. Adrian can change his appearance. In fact, he seems to have some morphing ability like Grace. Without his elf ears, he can't taste magic. This is like Grace losing special senses when she morphs away her antennae.
    Check out my comments for Monday's comic for my "Adrian as horndog" theory. I think it's still the simplest explanation and the most consistent with today's comic. The last person we know Pandora was with was Susan when she snatched up Tiny Jerry. Susan looks like Adrian's natural form--in at least one early strip, she was said to have Vulcan-like ears. "Of course they're his."
    But what about the Woman With Susan's Face?
    Say, has anyone considered the possibility that Adrian can also be Adrienne?

    I'm guessing that while Pandora is USUALLY in a child form because she is feeling mischievous at the time, HERE she appears as a child to emphasize her emotional vulnerability.
     
    At least that is my read on Dan's artistic choice.

    The only other possibility for Magus to be from Lord Tedd's universe is if Magus' supposed death at the hands of Terra caused her to become Lord Tedd. Like you know how our Tedd is genderfluid switching from male to female a lot, Terra could be similar and switch from female to male.
    Of course there isn't much to support this as Terra isn't seen going mad with grief or anything, I do wonder what the aftermath of that was though. Best guess is they were having a magic sparring match similar to how Elliot and Nanase sparred, complete with over the top taunts and such and Terra expected Magus to be able to block her attack easily but didn't expect anyone to try to sabotage the fight. If this was on school grounds, what would Terra's teacher's have done, expel her for Magus' death? Would they be able to tell what exactly happened and know it wasn't Terra's fault? Would any of them know that Magus wasn't really dead, just displaced to another reality, in which case Terra might be trying to find him herself. Guess anything could be possible there.

    Like I said, what Tedd's been researching up to this point might not be anything new to the Paranormal Division, it's probably why Edward's been ok with Tedd working on it, maybe Edward hopes that Tedd would one day work with the Paranormal Division and the stuff Tedd's researching has been part of the training program for ages so Tedd would essentially have a head start. Edward might not have been sure when he first let Tedd work on the TFG but later on he might have become hopeful.
    As far as the Magic change goes, Tedd himself doesn't know that he's a seer and that he may be the key to figuring out what the changes were, Edward doesn't seem to know either and it's likely that Pandora may want to keep Edward from finding out as well for the same reason she didn't want Sarah telling him about her spell. One can only imagine what things would be like if everyone lost the ability to cast spells and a select few knew that Tedd could help them get an early advantage.
    Edward may be powerless to do anything to keep Arthur or Leifeld from strongarming Tedd, or maybe Edward would agree that it's in everyone's best interest if the Paranormal Division regained the ability to use magic before some other group did.
    Wild theory, but somehow I get the feeling that a system change and an attempt to strongarm could have resulted in Lord Tedd, not sure exactly how General Shade Tail fits this scenario but considering Edward's infiltration of the organization that created Grace, I wouldn't doubt that Alternate Edward or the alternate universe's version of DGB had a connection to General Shade Tail.

    Actually, pygmy chimps, maybe our closest relatives genetically speaking, are incredibly promiscuous and pansexual. So, Mother Nature seems to have a different view on human non-heterosexuality as a crime against her.

    I think Ellen's "tacked on" attraction to men comes from two sources: As a feature of the FV5 or "Venus" setting that turned Elliot into a girl, and as part of her memories from Second Life Ellen, who was attracted to Archie, and who lived her entire life as a girl.

    So, is Elliot really considering that he might be transgender? Well, maybe, but I think it's more consistent with his born-wearing-a-boy-scout-uniform nature that what's actually troubling him so much is whether he should try to help whoever made that post. Despite what Elliot told Tedd about magic not changing, Elliot knows it could change soon. It could be too late to help before very much longer.
    And who could help this supposed transgender pleader change sex? Well, Tedd, of course--but also Ellen. Ellen can change any male into a female and back, and it's kind of an easy step to a Friday comic where Elliot asks his sister whether she'd be up for doing this.
