Can't argue that. I did the same thing you did, Googled Rescue Rangers, and the images I saw looked like he had pants. The shade was lighter that your image. Maybe they edited him?

Likely, next comic.

Sort of? It's in the ballpark. However, Susan is giving signs of being open at the moment, it would be a good time to broach the subject. Her even showing up says something changed (and, if you recall her conversation with Diane about opening up, it actually has). And yes, Elliot is acting like ripping off the bandage would cause hemorrhaging, and I'm saying his fears are unfounded. If anything, Elliot gets more of a pass with Susan than many of the characters, because of their history; he'd be a good one to break the ice. And, Oh God, I've been around folks who tap dance around a topic forever and cannot come to the point. It gets old fast.

Elliot's reacting based on the fact that Susan had made it clear that she'll tell them about what happened when she's ready, because Elliot is Elliot, she's thinking that bringing up the magic change will leading into that territory and that Susan might feel forced to reveal stuff before she'd ready or that she'll just leave the party. Elliot had made the decision to let Susan open up on her own terms but feels she's in danger of going against that decision. Yes, what I said and what you said are both true.

Eh, I did not catalog them all. Rescue Rangers are Disney, Chip and Dale do the Donald thing, Monty wears a full set of clothes, and Gadget wears a jump suit. Chip is definitely the odd one, as he wears a bomber jacket, for protection against cold at altitude; but none of the other characters address this, so it must not be an issue, and wouldn't his legs be cold as well. See, this is what happens when you let rodents fly airplanes, they wear just about anything they damn well please. Mickey wears clothes when the story calls for it; as the Sorcerer's apprentice, he's fully covered. And Donald gets a pass, fowl wear their gonads on the inside, so he's not showing much either way. Oh, the sheer irony, Howard is a Disney property too, now, isn't he? The inevitable Donald/Howard crossover hurts my head. At least he knows how to please a woman.

... does this have something to do with why classic Disney characters like Mickey and Donald wear only a few items, not full outfits? Couldn't find stuff that fit themselves? It is odd that Goofy is the one that knows how to dress himself.

Elliot is overreacting, just tell her already. It seems likely that Susan's question will lead to various bean containers being upended. One showstopper might be, "How much can I share about Mr. Raven without his permission?"

He knows he did not remove anything. He knows he, merged with Elliot and appearing to be Elliot, used the Dewitchery Diamond, and broke it. He knows Ellen was formed similarly, and it was not held against her, although, they did not break it at that time. He can infer that Elliot, Ellen, and Ashley were interrogated, and would have told the authorities what he was up to, that it was benign, that he destroyed a dangerous aberration, and dealt with an immediate spontaneous threat. What exactly would he think they had against him? Abducting Ashley? He ultimately let her choose to participate. Arthur had no reason that we know of to deport Adrian, apparently, pending revelation of the unstated story behind the falling out. It may have been Arthur being inflexible about some point, or it may well have been at Edwards behest. It's also not clear that he is allowed back in the US, or why he even cares. I don't know 'Why Russia?" - seems dumb, but not enough information.

Within my take on Dan's magic paradigm, that seems weird, but not impossible. Tea should be affecting the imbiber more directly, not just adjusting accoutrements, and a rather specific one; why not the panties as well? How smart is the frickin' tea that it can distinguish that? Also in regard to giganticism, it looked smaller than a four oz cup to me, although, to be fair, I generally don't see cups with less than six oz capacity. Looking on a commercial restaurant supply website, you can get cups down to 4 oz, and they look tiny. I am recalling where I've seen ones that small, coffee sample machines. But you are right, the one in her hand could be four oz. Oh, this I didn't know, you can get lids for paper four oz coffee cups. Will wonders never cease? It's been ages since I had one in my hand, but I think I recall the four oz cups being small enough that you could not fully grip it with four fingers, your pinky would curl under. If that's the case, she's holding a six oz (if she's normal size). Revised assessment, the cup is not a problem, and now I want to get some smaller cups and look at them in hands.

If he has observed how our travel works, he has the financial resources to travel. OTOH, I don't think his fear of the magic police, if any, is as much of a motivation as make amends and get home. He hasn't really done much wrong for the magic police to be tracking him, as was discussed; "He mad a young woman cry" is a personal motivation for Arthur, but it's not illegal. He doesn't want to deal with them, he scrambled out, but he's not an idiot, so he's probably aware that if he had to, they don't have much on him. He might not want to try to convince them he's from another universe; it would normally be a tough sell. "Lazy" is not a label I'd pin on him. He showed enormous perseverance in a hostile realm with no resources, and cleverly manipulated a powerful aberration to carry out what he needed done. He seems to be able to take care of himself quite well, and to plan ahead. Actually, for being a counterpart of Elliot, he also seems to be more situationally aware.

It's demented, but makes some good points.

Hmm, you think they are still connected as pants, then I'd have to revisit the giganticism angle, now the cup works, but the couch should be smaller. I guess it's better. Also, the panties make sense now. But why did only the pants not grow with her?

The first impression is great. If you look at it too long, you might notice jarring details. The cup is too small (or is she a giant? No, the seat looks normal). That appears to be smaller than anything I've seen sold. Her left boob is misshapen, there is a bulge pointing skyward toward above the cup, at about two o'clock. It does not lay right, should be more like four o'clock. The leggings; well perhaps remnants of transformed pants, so they at a pass, until she stands up. The hair, too massive, it's still expanding as it flows off behind the arm of the couch. The degrees of upper and lower skimpification are inconsistent. But, maybe, 'reasons'. Granted, there are many of Dan's comics that are less realistic, but they come with more of a buy-in to some mechanism, that in context makes sense. This, as a one off, appears to have one transformative element, and it does not justify the anomalies. I agree with your first impression, though.

I don't think the Jesus portrayed in the Gospels would like most churches. How many times did he say, "Don't judge"; what are churches known for ... ? Good point. If I recall correctly, you have yourself to blame that I now know about this webcomic.

I use Ad Blocker Plus, I don't recall issues with TV Tropes, but I've had other sites block access requesting I turn off ad blocker.

IT is not largely driven by technical excellence, it is often moved by marketing. Otherwise, would we even have Microsoft today? Zilog had a good thing going in the 8 bit era. Clean design, superset of the original mainstay of the serious micro, and it kept them going for a few years. The Z8000 was a good design, much better than the 8086, but Zilog was not a semiconductor powerhouse. The 68000 from Motorola was similar, and Motorola had the chops to sell it, and the Mac of the era and the Amiga are not slouches. Both were years ahead of 8086 and Microsoft operating systems. The failure of both to dominate the field is a failure of marketing. Intel would be dead as well, except they spent (presumably still do) and enormous amount on research and eventually caught up and surpassed. And they did some things well; I like their graceful overheating mitigation through throttling and shut down vs AMD's "We'll do it cheap" pop the IC approach. That all said, it has to be admitted that one of the reasons, maybe the only one, that the 8086 was chosen was it was the first and it was available. Intel has always been a leader. I love the iAPX432. I don't know what to call that; not so much a failure of marketing, rather maybe an abandonment. The damn chip set was decades ahead of its time. And that hints at the problems. Chip set; I don't recall how many but I'm thinking around four, and you needed a separate boot and configuration processor. Totally non-standard paradigm, too. Nonstandard architectures have come, had their day, and gone. (Database machines, like Britain Lee and Teradata, and Lisp machines) Maybe it will never be a thing. Same time frame, Intel also had a beautiful single chip signal processing microcomputer. I don't remember the number. Everything, including analog I/O, on one chip. I suspect, given the clock speeds of the day, that it was too slow for anything we'd consider to be useful. I know I went looking for it a few years later, and the had already dropped it.

... deliberately. I concur. Elliot could easily do so without thinking. He misses details sometimes that the other characters get.

She should at least be in a different part of town or from a pizza shop other than the one they normally order from as we haven't seen her before. But Magus does not seem to need distance, his is a powerful magic user and has masked the room he's in where the doorway does not exist unless he wants it. He might well still be local, especially if he feels he still owes apologies and favors.

When the focus was on her, she was practicing like crazy. That should help her mitigate the loss of ambient power. I assume at some point Pandora's reboot will show up to continue training her; will likely provide some sort of artificial boost, if need be.

Yeah, she went whole pig on catching up, no?

Elliot's term is clearer. It is ambiguous, to me, anyway, if agender would mean mental or physical like intersexed. It's clear her from context, but in general, not so much. Not likely to be a thing IRL, as it is not really applicable unless you have Elliot's options.

... you're getting interested in the story ...

I understand. China's initial response was sub-stellar as well. But our toddler in charge is very visible and vocal and incredulous about anything that affects cash flow. It is being weirdly politicized, but not by one party; although the right seems to take it far more lightly. One article cites golf courses, where young liberals follow the social distancing as they play, renting multiple carts for example, and the conservative old cronies sharing a cart, shaking hands, and so on. Please people. This virus does not care what you believe. It just wants to eat you, one cell at a time. This article was interesting, a positive correlation between wealth and being a dangerous vector. I'm glad we are doing what we are doing. I fear that it will not be enough.

I've heard surgeries are being curtailed to temporary quick fixes, to be revisited later.

Yeah, sorry about that. Hopefully, we'll fix it this November.
