She appears to have some level of Cat fetish...
Guess that is why Jeremy likes her...

9 hours ago, Scotty said:Diane did so know about Rhoda being gay, I knew Rhoda and Catalina were worrying over nothing.
I had always figured it was Lucy (? the 3rd escort girl) and not Diane whose reaction she was worried about.
It only takes 1 person to ruin a group friendship, and Lucy seemed more likely to have a reaction causing a breakup to me.

Well, that one was hard to top

Am I the only one who thinks panel 6 needs 2 "say no more" effects?

you mean diane does not practice ashiatsu massage.
Seems like something she might get a kick out of

Plus it would be kind of hard to get guys to buy you things if you never let them touch you by either holding hands, or kisses.

Am i the only one that was disapointed Dan did not link to that in the comments?

3 hours ago, The Old Hack said:Susan is one of my favourite characters in any comic and I love her interactions with Elliot. Today's comic gives a good example of why. I am very much looking forward to her encounter with Diane.
I am hoping the encounter (well its first or second page) ends with another panel of the Astronaut Uryuom, and possibly the space shark

"No touchy"
Some things people just need to experience for themselves first, and a warning will not suffice.
That and it might have come up in the review show at some point.

Looks like a generic security guard to me.
Where has '... and I know Grace" been used before? it is familiar but I can not remember the scene.

16 hours ago, Scotty said:We know Elliot and Ellen's only knowledge of Japanese is in the form of fancy combat shouts. When Ellen went over to Nanase's to help babysit Akiko, she didn't understand anything beyond the fact that Nanase's parents were leaving. I'm sure Nanase probably tried to teach some to Ellen though, but then that would make her more knowledgeable than Elliot if Ellen picked up anything from it.
He obviously knows some vocabulary, and honorifics are important enough in the culture that he might learn their proper use BEFORE full conversation. Intruducitons are kind of important after all. As well it should be safe to assume that he is into Anime enough that he could easily have tried using Chan on Nanase and got shut down while they were dating.
16 hours ago, Scotty said:We've no evidence that Tedd ever learned any Japanese, I don't think Noriko ever got around to even trying to teach him before she left and I get the feeling that Tedd never really spent much time with the Kitsunes growing up. The only other language that we know he knows is Uryuomoco. Edward probably knows many languages thanks to Uryuom's fancy teaching methods, but there's no guarantee that Tedd's got the same level of linguistics knowledge.
The lack of confirmation does not mean a negative. It is possible he learned, his Aunt may have taught him for all we know, but it is also likely that Edward deliberately did not teach him. Of course once you factor in regular contact with Will and Gill (as well as possibly other Aliens) his range of potential languages spoken is extreme. It comes down to how much interest Tedd has in his heritage.
16 hours ago, Scotty said:Grace was apparently teaching herself Japanese, we don't know how far along she went with it though so we can't be sure if she'd be the one to inform Susan about honorifics.
Which means she can not negate her, until the story confirms or denies something it is still a possibility.
16 hours ago, Scotty said:We don't know if Salty Crackers imports Japanese manga or even has manga at all, though I'd be inclined to think any manga in stock would be translated versions. We're basically betting on if Nanase also tried teaching Justin anything beyond fancy combat shouts.
The amount of overlap in what we do know that the sell with anime fans and otaku is large enough that it becomes a real possibility. Pretty much every card tournament I have ever gone to there was at least 1 group of Anime fans there, and they would discuss things about the shows. There is enough cross over that it is something Justin might have learned somewhere. I had listed Elliot and Justin as they are the 2 Susan is most likely to interact with, other then Sarah who seems more into French and european languages/culture then japanese to me.
16 hours ago, Scotty said:Greg, I'm not sure, his knowledge of Japanese might just be limited to the fancy combat shouts he taught in ASMA class, the anime he watched could have been subbed or dubbed for all we know. Also Susan hasn't had any interaction with him as far as we know since I think the first Sister arc.
Subtitlers tend to leave in the honorifics, as huge a anime nerd as Greg is then he is likely to know something about them.
16 hours ago, Scotty said:Has there been any evidence that Tensaided would know Japanese?
Why would there need to be? It is strongly implied that he is into Anime however.
Really the entire "there is not hard evidence so you are wrong" line of thought is the worst type of argument for this sort of thing. Characters are never fully fleshed out unless the story ends up tracking every aspect of their lives which they never do. All we know is what we have been told, with everything else a possibility, the more something relates to what we do know about a character the stronger the possibility. All i was saying is that there are cases to be made for most of Susan's circle of friends and acquaintances.
Greg is a stretch, but we have a 6 month gap in the timeline with almost no information.

11 hours ago, Scotty said:Susan's "friend" is either Ashley and this is a segue to bringing to into the story, or it's Nanase who'd be more likely to know how Japanese honorifics worked. Most likely the latter.
She has enough friends with knowledge of Japanese culture that it could be most of the main 8 (Ted and Nanase have Japanese heritage, Elliot speaks at least some of the language so ellen would as well, Justin could have picked it up from working at the comic book store or Nanase, and who knows Grace has read about to make up for her early life), as well as Greg, Mr. Veeres, Tedsaided, etc.
I would expect it to have come up while watching/discussing an Anime so Eliot or justin are my top picks

15 hours ago, Vorlonagent said:And then pounces upon them because dancing lesser beings are irresistible to cats.
Lord Borwnie never plays for long before suddenly falling asleep. Much to the relief of the lesser beings.
I personally think the sudden sleeping due to being so active at night when everyone else is asleep?

7 minutes ago, Tom Sewell said:Could it be that it's not all intuition? Could Tedd be changing magic? That could fit that all-so-secret second purpose of seers. It could also explain why Edward never heard of the magic-eating interdimesional whales: No wizard could see them until Tedd changed magic enough for him to see them.
I figured Tedd could see the whales because he can see magic, and a wizard like edward who can not see magic would not be able to see them, so no knowledge.

2 hours ago, The Old Hack said:Nonsense. They could be any age after that. It happened in a previous incarnation of Pandora's, and we don't know which one. For all we know that could have been stored knowledge passed down through several subsequent incarnations.
For all we know all of Pandora's previous selves might have a tendency to push the envelop on resetting. This could be a basic character trait for her... just with a reason this time (though I would think she had reasons before hand if so)
-
10 hours ago, Scotty said:Hundreds of years ago eh? Anyone wanna revive the theory that it was Genghis Khan's warmongering horde that caused the last system change and plunged the world into the Dark Ages?
Based on Pandora's recolections it needs to be someone who suffered a massive and unexpected defeat. one where their almost everyone on their side of the battle died, I do not think he had any that would qualify.
My best guess is that it was around the start of the dark ages, possibly a contributing factor to them occurring. Either that or something like the Bronze Age collapse
-
31 minutes ago, Scotty said:Probably, I don't think he's aware of how many appearances she's made, but this feels like a point that Dan would be thinking "this is a good place to end this scene and show what's happening elsewhere."
Also If Dan cared about appearance counts would he include NP and/or Sketchbook appearances? which would bring it over 100

I'm also wondering what spell is going to go on that wand.
It is Ted so FV5, start with the one you know best

Maybe their agelessness starts to fade once their parent resets?
-
8 hours ago, The Old Hack said:ETA: I also see the first hint of a possible non-selfish motivation for Noriko to withdraw from Tedd. Maybe she was afraid that her profession would draw dangerous attention to Tedd and potentially make him a target for anyone who wanted to get at her. It is not as if this hasn't precedent. (It is usually also complete codswallop and the idiot doing it ends up doing more harm than good, but there you are.)
When I think about it, it does not sit right with me.
If she was leaving because she wanted to protect Tedd, by having anyone who looks on from the outside think she doe snot care for him, but still cared they would have taken steps to help prevent Tedd from developing his abandonment issues, and Edward would have told Tedd the truth once Tedd was aware of Magic.
If she cared about Tedd they would have done things in a way so in Tedd's mind he knew she loved him and cared, but circumstances were keeping her away.
Now, people lie to themselves about their reasons for doing things all the time, and this might be the lie Noriko told herself to feel better about leaving, but it does not match with her actions. There is also the coldness between edward and Raven, as well as Raven admitting that there is no chance of reconciliation, if she left for Tedds own good these would not be as bad as they seem.

54 minutes ago, Cpt. Obvious said:First time meeting an immortal... I think walking through the table wasn't helping. Apart from the "space whale" this is the first supernatural being he has met, and having her walk though the table probably had him thinking about ghosts and spirits, maybe even vampires rather than immortals at first.

1 hour ago, CritterKeeper said:Am I the only one getting tired of these rather academic strips? Personally, I'd rather have Ellen explaining this stuff to someone, preferably within the context of wacky hijinks....
It feels like we are close to an end of this "plot line", at least to me.

For some reason I had always assumed Teds house (but not the basement) for a better editing computer, and a camerman. or Justin's for the same reason.
