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/index.php?id=2415 Diane did so know about Rhoda being gay, I knew Rhoda and Catalina were worrying over nothing. Also Diane's crush on Nanase is certainly not-so-platonic. And I guess Diane did have a thing for Rick as well.

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2417 Uh-oh. I was afraid of this.

http://www.egscomics.com/?id=2416

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2414 What? It's almost Halloween. We are allowed some chills. ETA: If Diane has done cheerleading, she most likely also has potential in a fight. Cheerleaders are often pretty goldarn strong.

http://www.egscomics.com/?id=2413 Time to get the Hell out of Dodge!

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2411 But... but the kangaroos! Why won't anyone think of the kangaroos!

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2412 Diane is the Mycroft to Susan's Sherlock.

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2409 Well, the "apocalypse warnings" in real life are falsehoods, but the apocalypsis of Diane and Susan finding their true parentage with Raven is about to unfold.

http://www.egscomics.com/?id=2410

http://www.egscomics.com/?id=2408 And so it begins.

http://www.egscomics.com/?id=2407 Poor Susan. That is just not an easy thing to deal with.

Since Dan isn't strictly doing pinups for patreon anymore, I figured tagging the thread as Patreon would be better. https://www.patreon.com/posts/single-susan-14758468 This is good, I like Susan's outfit and her expression, and the bodies nearby are confirmation of her badassery.

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2404 Yep, Diane was nervous too. Can't really criticize Susan for not considering them choosing the same entrance though, if she did, she'd end up second guessing herself more "what if she's at that entrance? I should go in the other way, but what if she's at that one instead?"

I would agree in theory. Both ought to crib notes from each other. But in practice I don't remember anything in Babylon 5 that looks like it came from Deep Space 9 (which is not to say there was nothing). Either B5 hid their influences better or they didn't steal much. DS9 may not have stolen anything else besides the Shadow War. (I am intentionally setting aside B5 fan accusations that DS9's concept came from B5 creator JMS' pitching B5 to Paramount. Not opening that can of worms) There are some format differences too. B5 was always intended as a massive 5-year story arc whereas all of the Trek Franchise shows were much more as episodic TV. Well we already found one example, so I would guess B5 was hiding better. The fact B5 looked very consistent and was always planned for 5 years except one moment when it was supposed to be shortened to four and then they changed mind again certainly helped. There's blame enough for both Berman and Braga. But Berman was the boss. The captain's always responsible. Ok, can agree with this. Wesley Crusher was Gene Roddenberry's Marty Stu. Jake Sisko was spared that at least. But I would say the only worse example of useful idiocy I've seen, was Jar-Jar Binks introducing Galactic Senate Legislation to make Palpatine an Emperor. But that was only one-time and Jar Jar wasn't only one who was played by Palpatine. Case in point, Anakin Skywalker. Meanwhile, Jake Sisko got into it himself. Seriously, son of commander of the station, how could he hoped they overlook him?

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2397 Susan's capable of puppydog eyes, she'll just threaten to hammer you if you bring it up.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=659 Poor Hanma.

Here is Sarcastic Susan is Sarcastic.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=639 Bunny Susan seems like an appropriate side effect of Jerry's serenity spell. Makes sense that Ellen can't affect Grace's clothing with her current spells, but I bet Rhoda could, and Ellen could eventually get spells that let her target clothes or specific items, as it is, she's relying on her beams affecting the whole person.

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=636 ... oh. Right. Shorter and taller Wait. Can Ellen really make person STRONGER, or just BEEFIER (that is, looking stronger but without greater strength)?

http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=633 I love how Rhoda's bragging that all of this is not new to her. Also, what is more cooler that a magic flashlight?

I'm starting this thread for anyone who wants to share thoughts about Susan and people or things connected to Susan. Whether or not "real" ghosts are going to be allowed in the Moperverse isn't settled. To quote Charlotte, "If ghosts are real, ghosts are real." But Susan has certainly been haunted by her past, and perhaps an actual ghost. The the only street view we have of Chateau de Pompoms is an early work of Dan's. Possibly magic has revised the architecture in the better part of a year of story time that has passed since. Still, it's probably still big. I may be living in the po' side o' Santa Clara County now, but I've seen plenty of Palo Alto and Los Altos, two of the richest communities in the world, and I have yet to see a three-story mansion. So who lives in that enormous mansion? Apparently just Susan and her mother. No maids, no butler, no gardener, no chauffeur, no cook. The intercom system plays Mexican radio, but maybe that's for the Mexican ghosts. It's quite likely Dan just didn't want to show any staff. They could be asleep, gone home, gone out. Mrs. Pompoms could just use services as needed. Still, Susan never mentions housework or chores. There are only two occasions where Susan's mother appears. In the very first panel we see her in, she's in her bathrobe and holding a pretty large wineglass. It's dark or getting dark outside but it's winter and a movie night is planned, so it shouldn't be that late. She couldn't put down that glass before coming to meet Susan and her guests? Next we see Susan's mom in Hammerchlorians, later in the narrative but in two flashback panels from Susan's first year at Moperville North. In the first Susan's mom looks sober as she slices carrots, and in the second she's tearing Principal Verrucht a new one. These scenes happened before Susan went to France, got her magic mark, and killed her first vampire. I've noted that wineglass long enough ago that I don't have the faintest idea when. But it wasn't until I started this post that I considered this possibility: Susan's mom is drinking now because she knows what happened in France. Now, if this is true, why hasn't it been mentioned? Why did Susan complain in Playing With Dolls that she would need multiple trips to sneak four dolls from the car into her house? A possible answer: Susan doesn't know her mother knows. And possibly she doesn't want to know. The most likely source for Susan's mother to learn the secret? Mrs. Kitsune, of course. It is very difficult for me to accept that Noriko's sister, from the same long magically-endowed bloodline, wouldn't know pretty much everything that's going on with her eldest daughter. Sharing her concerns with the mother of another magically talented young woman and a prime potential recruit for the covert magical ops that tore apart Noriko's marriage sounds plausible to me.

http://www.egscomics.com/?id=2339 Uh oh. So uh, who does that shadowy hand belong to? Pandora's possibly still talking to Heka in Egypt, or maybe not, if travel instant for such a distance? That leaves either Voltaire having found out about Jerry and possibly worried that his meddling with Susan might interfere with Voltaire's plans, Not sure why Helena and Demetrius would grab him, unless they just wanted to be overly dramatic but really they just want to talk. Fingernails though could be a hint. Oh, and for the record, Jerry 2.0 has so far crashed ONE party.
