    Then there is things like eye color, length (hard to quantify due to magic intervention on Susan's part), body type, shape of the face and the eyes, and I'd say it's a pretty amazing coincidence if it turns out that Susan and Diane isn't twins.
     

    By "length", do you mean body height? Because hair length is something that has nothing to do with genetics and everything to do with the choices of the person (and that person's parents).

    So Rhoda can enchant food that will make someone shrink or grow when it is consumed.

    Does she also have little "Eat Me" and "Drink Me" tags that attach to said consumables?

     

    That would be amusing . . . Hmm, she should come to a party hosted by one of the main cast, and do this for party favors. ^_^

    Edward specifically said no fooling around because he was worried about Tedd getting Grace pregnant, but then he mentioned the fact that Grace couldn't get pregnant in half squirrel form and then Tedd couldn't stop smiling. So I think Edward's given up on that by now.

    The "can't stop smiling" would be why I was thinking that Edward might feel that Tedd has sexy shenanigans on the brain. That and such lines as "You can't argue with a hot chick showing that much skin".

    People with the same name, it's possible. People with the same name in the same town, it's a bit of a stretch. Someone with the same name, in the same town, with an accurate physical description... yeah, that's not gonna fly for long.

    Ah, but as Edward said, the saving grace (not Grace) is that nobody saw Elliot Dunkel transform to Cheerleadra (or Cheerleadra transform to Elliot Dunkel). They saw the pink-haired girl transform into Cheerleadra. Only those people who already had some clues about Elliot (Catalina, Tensaided, etc.) were able to connect the dots immediately--those few who were reminded of male Elliot when Voltaire called Cheerleadra "Elliot Dunkel" appeared to be inclined toward the "nah, it couldn't be him that the glowy guy was talking about" conclusion.

    I suspect part of Tedd's reticence is because he knows that his dad knows the criteria for giving a magic mark -- telling his dad he got a transgender mark would be the same thing as telling him he has a strong desire and/or it's part of his inherent nature to be able to switch gender.

    Personally I'm hoping that Tedd's dad isn't as condemning as Tedd fears he'll be.  Edward expressed an honest worry that spending too much time transformed as a girl wouldn't be good for Tedd.  If/when Edward learns more about gender fluidity, or figures out that it applies to Tedd, he might express relief to learn that there isn't anything harmful in it after all.  Maybe even gratitude to the existence of the TFG for sparing him gender dysphoria.  I can see Grace slowly influencing Edward, slipping bits of information on transgender and gender fluidity into conversations or leaving web pages open on the computer for Edward to find.

    Edward seems to be running on the fallacy that exposure to girl-forms might reinforce any desire to be female--it's roughly analogous to the idea that many homophobic individuals have that hanging around with homosexual people will make someone who was otherwise borderline take the plunge--i.e. "hanging around with gay people and doing gay things will make you gay". I in no way condone the idea that it is possible to create such desires where they don't already exist, but some people believe that it is a real thing.

    Alternatively, he may simply be refusing to believe that Tedd is not "perving out" on being able to see and touch female flesh as he wishes--note all of his warnings against doing anything "naughty" with Grace, as though Edward had expected that Tedd would try.

    The real test is whether Elliot can keep a straight face and not panic when somebody at school confronts him about it. If Elliot can calmly dismiss the claim as nonsense, then people (outside of those who know him somewhat closely, such as Tensaided and Catalina) will tend to believe him, since claiming that a clearly female character (Cheerleadra) who was clearly seen transforming from a "secret identity" that was also female, is in truth a male, appears ridiculous in light of the fact that almost nobody not-in-the-know knows of Elliot changing into girl forms in the first place.

    Well, really, if you can't be within a lightyear's distance of your old position for each year backwards you travel, then is it really the past? The causality issues of time travel all stem from the idea of information or matter being transferred from the older self to the younger self, whether direct (encounter the younger self) or indirect (do something in the past that results in the younger self doing things differently).

    Note that no guy is likely to know that hammers are supposed to disappear, and she IS known as hammer queen. I think that confrontations with someone offensive don't happen so often to her, it was very lucky that she met Rich just in time to meet Jerry.

    If she WOULD meet someone offensive, though, I don't think the knowledge of hammer's intent would stop her reflexive reaction.

    Yes, Rich doesn't know when to shut his mouth, and I am willing to bet that he was either never a Moperville North student, or left before Susan became the Hammer Queen. Everybody who has attended Moperville North in the last two and a half years (i.e. since the France trip) is aware that she hammers people--though the few who knowingly provoke her, such as Tony, are probably willing to tolerate getting hammered as the price for getting their comments in.

    I wouldn't know about seeing new objects literally 100 years away--by the time an incoming object crosses the orbit of Neptune, it's within thirty-six years of reaching Earth's distance, even if it has ZERO speed beyond that which it gains from falling sunward from that distance. In short, 90% of the Kuiper Belt objects are less than a century away from us, so we'd have to map EVERY hundred-meter object within that radius. . . and we are just BARELY able to see the Pluto-sized ones that far out with our current best telescopes.

    Time travel into the PAST is impossible. Going into the FUTURE is trivial, as long as you don't need to come back. You just need to suspend the passage of time for your future-traveler until the appropriate amount of time has elapsed--this is fundamentally what Abraham is doing when he petrifies himself.

    You know, without the context we readers have, there are many hilarious different interpretations of what Tensaided said.

    Yes--the first one coming to mind would be that Susan doth protest too much in claiming that Elliot is not her boyfriend and that they might indeed be giving in to teenaged hormonal excess that often happens when two teenagers who are strongly attracted to each other get some alone time together . . .

    Fourth, they can get Diane into Susan's place with bit of dark blue hair color and high heels. Seriously, you don't need magic if they are already practically identical - and Mrs. Pompoms doesn't really check who's Susan takes home anyway. Remember Hey ma! I'm home and I've got people over? Sure, she looked at Justin ... but didn't really looked at Nanase and Ellen, did she? Unless she sees them TOGETHER, she is unlikely to notice.

    Susan's mom probably already knew of Nanase anyway. What I find most amusing on that page is in the last panel, apparently that big TV is a Cathode Ray Tube set instead of a Plasma or LCD, both of which would be too thin for Ellen to sleep on.

    Nanase has proven herself able to face medium-strength threats (Abraham, not-Tengu), so she doesn't need close supervision as long as she can call the cavalry in a hurry. Akiko definitely falls under the "defenseless sidekick" category however, until she can get power of her own . . .
