    I guess Diane isn't the only one with self-image problems. At least Lucy cares about what Rhoda and Catalina think; early on she gave off the impression she didn't like Rhoda (but then, early on Diane seemed like a pretty nasty person herself).

    I find it amusing that everyone thinks of Catalina as Rhoda's cat. That said, while she does have many cat-like traits, the way she lets Rhoda be the more dominant one in the relationship isn't very cat-like.

    Taped-together glasses are less of a “nerd” thing than they are an “I’m too broke to pay for new frames” thing.

    It can be both (particularly when we're talking about the old negative nerd stereotypes), and in this case I think it was supposed to be another "nerd" detail rather than a hint Diane thinks of herself as poor (though I suppose Susan's family does have more money than Diane's).

    Anyone else think Diane should try the Nerd-Girl look for a while?

    I don't think so. For one thing the "dorky nerd" look she imagined really doesn't look very good. Secondly, while some minor modifications (such as no tape on the glasses) could make it look good, it still wouldn't suit her personality.

    Yay for bubbly background in panel three!

    Meow for paw-mittens!

    ...I strongly suspect Rhoda and Catalina will soon be doing some heavy cuddling at the very least, and if we cut away to another scene and there is no evidence to the contrary, I'm going to assume that they get up to more than just cuddling.

    I'm not a huge fan, but it should probably be experienced a few time at least in your lifetime, just for the cultural connection.

    The only sports or other non-video games I've played are ones that I had to in school and ones that my family played together at some point; bowling is neither.

    I have seen it enough on TV to get a basic idea how it's played, though. (For that matter, I have played a few bowling mini-games in various video games, though that's obviously not the same as playing it IRL.)

    EDIT: It occurs to me that I made it sound like video games are the only thing I've ever been interested in playing, which isn't the case (in fact, I wasn't even able to play video games regularly until I was 6 or 7, when we got a NES). As a kid I played with toys, and played pretend, and I played simple games like Tag or Hide and Seek with my cousins. And I've enjoyed playing cards or board-games with various family members over the years. But bowling just isn't something anybody I know in person does.

    So, it turns out my first thought about Grace's reaction was correct. Luckily, Grace was wrong.

    I love Jay's reaction, and it's neat that it gave Susan and Jay something to bond over. I was actually pretty suspicious of Jay when she first started showing up, but now thanks to this page I like her; hopefully she doesn't wind up an antagonist in the future!

    So my first thought when I saw the final panel was that Grace thought Susan had accidentally deadnamed Jay. However, it's more likely she remembers "Jack" thanks to her dream journal, and just never connected the name to Jay.

    I do wonder however what Jay will think of being called Jack (particularly as she doesn't remember telling Susan that name).

    I just heard that Akira Toriyama died last Friday, at the age of 68. For those who don't know, he was a manga writer/artist who created several popular series -- most notably Dragonball (which I was a big fan of back in the early 00s). He was also character designer for a number of video games including the Dragon Quest (AKA Dragon Warrior) series, and my favorite game, Chrono Trigger.

    I wasn't sure whether to include a tag for Steve, as he's a new character and we already have a few other "Steve"s in the comic. (I guess Dan likes the name.)

    My prediction for who we'll see in the next comic: Sarah. While I'm sure she doesn't come to every tournament, it would be a bit disappointing not to have her in this tournament when Hope went through all the effort to meet up with her again.

    We have not seen even a hint that she has much concern for Noah. Maybe that is the indication that she does not, conspicuous by its absence. I wonder if it is because he is not human, but she seemed favorably disposed toward Grace.

    I believe Adrian only took Noah under his wing fairly recently (from an in-world perspective) and adopted him more recently still. Furthermore, I don't think Pandora visited her son very often, so she probably never got the chance to get to know Noah. Pandora also had a tendency to get fixated on a single goal / idea / etc. and ignore everything else. So chances are she rarely even remembered Noah existed, and when she did thought of him more as "some kid staying with Adrian" rather than as family (not out of prejudice but because she wasn't paying enough attention to know better).

    Expanded the thread to the entire weeek.

    I just noticed that no one has created any NP threads this week. Rather than making several threads I figured I'd just do one for the week.

    I like Ashley's form in Tuesday's strip. It's funny both she and Kevin are acting like she was being naughty, when random TFs are par for the course in Tedd's basement.

    Someone pointed out elsewhere that it's kind of funny Ashely's worried in Thursday's strip that she'll get TF spells instead of the healing spells she wants, when Pandora decided not to give her a mark because all she could give her was healing magic.

    As for Saturday, all I have to say is: Chibi!

    Tedd and Grace are looking quite cute today.

    As I said on Tumblr: I love how Tedd and Grace's new-ish hair styles are both androgynous (in fact I might even call Tedd's feminine-leaning and Grace's borderline-masculine, though they both look great with their current bodies regardless). Combined with their similar outfits and matching pendants, the two look like quite the matched set!

    I thought Spaceballs was funny, but also a bit lame. I could watch it occasionally. My kids. born after it was released, grew up with it and loved it. Probably appropriate, I think Mel Brooks is a dad joke master.

    It was released when I was a kid; I saw it shortly after it came out on video. I really enjoyed it, though I did like Star Wars better (if only because as a kid I always preferred things I thought were serious over comedies). I think I actually like it less now that I get all the adult jokes in it.
