http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2425 So confirmed, Magus and Terra were training. Dialogue had to be for dramatic effect. Also, panel 5 looks to me like Magus was jerked around by another jerk we know.

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2424 This was VERY rich on answers: 1) Sirleck can't drive. Ellen is driving. (Very funny how surprised he was to avoid a raccoon.) 2) Ellen will sleep after he releases her ... ok, this isn't really new. 3) Even Sirleck prefers leaving Ellen (and others) alive, not because of ethic or something but out of fear. 4) Nanase wasn't send somewhere specific. They only wanted to have her far away. (Totally predicted that.) 5) Ashley remembers what griffins said about Nanase being royalty. 6) Magus things he's better than Guardian form ... 7) Rules for magic are universe-specific, but you can take your rules with you ... somehow. BTW, to answer Dan's question, cars for on principle of lot of small explosions pushing some gears which move the wheels. No horses are involved. Also, I'm not sure how big raccoons are (I don't believe Woo is reliable example) but generally you don't want to hit animals because they can damage your car. At least European cars are not build to ram animals, although American SUVs might be different ...

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=694 That really doesn't seem ditzy. Although she seems to talk faster than she's thinking. Sooo ... next comic will show how would really ditzy Susan be? Will we also get explanation why she's not so ditzy?

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2420 Oooh boy... ... Wait a moment... Sirleck has possessed her, hasn't he?

http://www.egscomics.com/?id=2419 And we're up in Elliot's room...and Ellen's room. And Elliot did get a giant beanbag chair. I wonder if Noah did too?

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=689 Funny how Ashley is only one who has so few experiences with transforming to actually wanting to use them ... while Rhoda and Catalina are thinking tactics and Susan would prefer to avoid the transforming. Also, is the tongue related to the "defaults"? Oh wait she did it in main story as well. Wait: Dan used up the matching of characters to players on WHO IS SITTING WHERE? I though he's using it to make what happened during play happen between correct characters ...

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=688 I knew it. Hanma is a defaulter.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=681 Totes accurate memory Ashley. Hmm, Ashley feeling a tad threatened by Catalina? I'm sure she doesn't have anything to worry about in terms of Catalina stealing Elliot away.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=676 We could be immortal...

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2399 I am starting to think that Ashley is pathologically 'too nice'. I can only imagine this level of niceness being used against her at some point.

http://www.egscomics.com/?id=2395 Ashley gets it. In fact, she's got it.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=638 Well, she WAS not aware of this on New Year Eve, but she could discover meantime - oh wait that was less than month ago. In that case it makes sense. Shrinking is clear - she's already on limit. And I guess you can't get more blonde than blonde. Not sure why muscles, it could be used as example of how single beam muscles makes person stronger but double beam muscles don't make her more stronger, just looking worse. And heavier? Heavier Nanase isn't even as fat as George ...

I just posted a brainstorm about Ashley in the Moar thread which inspired me to start a thread about All Things Ashley (which would have made a better title, but too late now. My brainstorm was that the magnifiying glass mark at the end of the first part of Squirrel Prophet just might be Ashley's. Which leads to the larger question: Does Ashley have any magic talent(s)? Which leads on ultimately to the question of questions: Why Ashley? Some of my thoughts follow. You may want some coffee or other caffeinated beverage to stay awake. Ashley Is Lois Lane to Sarah's Lana Lang Since Elliot himself isn't really up on the whole Superman mythos, I'll explain that Lana Lang is Superboy's first girlfriend, the one he leaves behind in Smallville when he graduates, goes to Metropolis, and becomes Superman. If you don't know who Lois Lane is, shame on you. I wouldn't put my money on this one, yet. Ashley Is the Transitional Girl That is, the girl you date right after a breakup, before you move on to your next serious relationship. In the real world, this would be very plausible. In the Moperverse, maybe less so. The Shive has stated He had wanted to introduce Ashley for a long time before she actually showed up. That's a lot of work for a throwaway character. And Elliot being Elliot, he'll feel obligated to stick with her until he's absolutely sure it's better for everyone to break up. Plus, that's kind of repeating the same thing that happened with Sarah just before Ashley. Now while repeats like that are all too common in realworld, I for one would be disappointed if it happened here, and I might not be alone. Ashley Is Doomed One way to remove Ashley is to kill her off. This seems pretty harsh for EGS, but real death has been an occasional visitor to the Mopervers: Damien, Noah's parents, and, most recently, Adrian's dad. This is a trope that gets used quite a lot in the superhero genre and notoriously in long-running series, usually when an actor quits or an actor. It is also a feature of coming-of-age stories, and what is EGS but a teenage soap opera with weird stuff thrown in? Once again, I wouldn't put my money on it. The Shive was broken up by Daddy Raven's death. Despite the opportunities for some awesome reactions by the rest of the gang to Ashley's death, I don't think it will really happen. Well, I hope not. Ashley Is Tedd's Sister Now this one is edging into ASB territory (ASB=Alien Space Bats). But Ashley, like Tedd, is Asian or part-Asian; we haven't seen her parents; and she just might have exhibited some Tedd-like insights. Also she's obsessed with transformations, tends to go on and on about things once she gets rolling, gets into her zone and blocks out everthing else (Ashley at the bookstore; Tedd doing almost anything in the basement.) Of course, this would seem to mean that Ashley and Tedd are twins. Or does it? We don't know exactly how old Ashley is, and we don't know when Tedd's mom took off. The only time in the entire canon so far that we have seen Tedd and his mom together was when Tedd was such a small baby he probably couldn't stand up yet. Ashley could be only a year younger than Tedd, so it would be plausible they could both be seniors in the same high school. As for why they wouldn't have noticed each other, we do know that Ashley is from California. When did she move to Moperville? Ashley's first appearance in story-time comes after Family Ties, so it's the new year and the spring semester. Ashley could have been at Moperville North for only a few days before she hooked up with Elliot. Another point: Ashley seems surprised that it's going to be very cold somewhere near Chicago in January. Kind of like she still hasn't shaken California out of her head yet, no? Of course, Ashley isn't one of the three sisters on the title page of Sister III. And Tedd's mom is in Europe, right? Right? Not perchance in Moperville working up to finally seeing her son again face-to-face? Ashley Is From Another Universe Nothing at all to support this yet, but Ashley could indeed have come from California--just not the same California as the one in Elliot's universe. Ashley could be completely unaware of this. Her parents could be unaware of this; maybe they made a wrong turn Albuquerque. Ashley Is Another Catspaw Someone posited that Ashley is really Pandora on this forum. I'm not sure how serious they were. Anyway, while Pandora could make herself look and sound like Ashley (and Voltaire could at least mimic her voice), we've gotten a lot of Ashley's thoughts from the very first. Ashley is a real person in her own right. Which is not to say she's not being used by someone else. Maybe more than one someone. What could be a motivation for a manipulator like Pandora or Voltaire to bring Ashley together with Elliot? Pandora might have maneuvered them together for her own amusement, or for deeper reasons. Pandora says in Squirrel Prophet that Tedd is her great godson. Maybe Pandora is afraid Grace will fall for Elliot too and thus hurt Tedd, so Pandora makes sure Elliot gets another girlfriend right after the breakup with Sarah. But who knows with Pandora? Voltaire might have put them together to set up the incident happened at the mall. If he tried to keep Ashley from intervening once the griffin appeared, it would make him somewhat less evil. Or maybe he was just adding some more spice to his game. I rather think Voltaire is as crazy or crazier than Pandora. That "better world" Voltaire spoke of to The Detective may just mean better for Voltaire. The Government might have arranged to put Ashley in Moperville as part of a secret policy of concentrating people with detected superpowers, even dormant ones, where they can be more easily monitored. ---- Okay, enough to get this started. Let's have some more musings about Ashley. There are still many unanswered questions, such as why the heck won't her parents tell her where in Asia they come from? I mean, they would really know, wouldn't they? They wouldn't be anything like North Korean sleeper agents, would they?

https://egspinups.tumblr.com/post/157793313115/sequence-pint-of-tea-i-wasnt-originally Ok, I must admit I would prefer if the camera position would be different.

Here is Fox is a good look on Grace, and squirrel is good on Ashley, who has blonde hair this time, with a brown tail. Can not really count this for "what color is Ashley's hair" as it's post transformation.

Someone else got the topic up first.

https://egspinups.tumblr.com/post/156282704555/single-eighties-work-out-ashley-the-honest Tumblr link because patreon is down for maintenance. I like this one, no transformation, she's not just standing around, her expression looks like she might be greeting whoever just walked into the room. Not completely sold on the colour combination though, but I think Dan was right about her hair highlights being a limiting factor, and dark green probably wouldn't have looked good in the outfit. Mirror is a night touch too.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/sequence-6-foot-7176950 Well, she looks pleased with the result.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=503 I still think Ashley Mareep is cuter.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/my-choice-6665801 Big melons? Beanbag chairs? Flotation devices? What the heck did Ashley say to get this result if "big boobs" several times only resulted in Mall Girl Elliot?

https://www.patreon.com/posts/single-mall-form-6665866 I haven't even seen the doubles and sequence entries yet and I'm thinking this is the best of them all. I'm also pretty certain this would cover anyone's desire to see Tensaided in Mall Girl form.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=502 Here's today's NP strip. Thank god I was here, or this thread might have taken a few more seconds before being created. Although being able to reduce pain would be great to my back right now. EDIT: So that's what my back pain was! A damned ninja stabbed me! Nuts... EDIT2: Also, today is Tuesday, and Monday it was the 22nd. [censored] it, I'm going to bed...

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=501 Sooo ... simplest solution: Ashley was NOT marked. Too good for marking. Pity. ... or at least she wasn't marked with transformation spell. Maybe Pandora will find something else to mark her with and does it hoping that she will get the transformation spell later?
