And it comes full non-canon circle.

Has Dan argued with any other character as much as he argues with Susan?

I don't know why she puts up with that cartoonist.

Not recently, but I suspect Sarah was the problematic one on start ...

Also, debug mode ...

... actually with Hanma not able to test the spells herself, I'm surprised she is not begging them to test some stuff she's not sure about. Debug mode wand would be very useful for that.

... aaaand the card Susan wants is one we didn't actually saw in play (we saw how it looks, but didn't saw the effect). Of course, it's still something Susan wouldn't want complete, the list of cards Susan wouldn't mind would be very short

I'm still hoping Susan will accept a minor non-mental transformation just to get into the spirit of things. Maybe she could take the lifeguard "outfit" along with its mental effect, and just skip the physical changes? Or heck, that animal-tf-only cow!Susan in panel one looks pretty cute, I wouldn't mind her going with that.

Less confusing wording.

Well Lifeguard is a Physical-Clothing card, the mental changes would be part of the Physical aspect of it but the bustiness is probably also part of that. Susan had already felt that the cow form minus attract bonus was appealing because it didn't make her feel lanky, so I would expect Susan to feel the same way with the Lifeguard with either Susan's own clothing or a different clothing card effect that she'd be more comfortable with. like maybe Nurse?

Unaffected by her own over-self-control Susan could well join in more...

... maybe police ? Although if that's real police outfit and not some generic pretend uniform, it could be against the law to wear that outside.

That uniform seems more appropriate for a bachelor party though.

I'm 99% certain that no Police Uniform in the US includes shorts that short.

That costume is more akin to Amy Pond's kissogram costume than to any real police uniform.  That was the whole reason Susan found it so embarassing.

That doesn't answer the legality question.

You'd be amazed how closely you can copy a police or military uniform, completely legally, in the US - on condition that you don't try to claim or exercise the powers and privileges that go with the uniform you're wearing.

(I think that wearing, say, the distinctive insignia that identify your state's highway patrol officers, might count as claiming the powers and privileges; however, there are no powers and privileges associated with being a patrol officer for the State of Bewilderment.)

I once read a book in which a group of sort-of bad guys (they were helping the protagonists at the time, after having locked horns with them in a previous book, and kept dancing back and forth across the line of opposing and helping as the series moved along) managed to panic the actual villains of the story by arriving in completely correct police uniforms. For all intents and purposes the real thing. Only this was in California and the badges they carried read NYPD, or New York Police Department. Plus points for having legally rented the outfits from a Hollywood costuming outfit.

An NYPD officer in California is an officer by courtesy only, with no legal authority. (Except possibly in the context of a prisoner transfer - but the prisoner will be handed from one police force or prison-guard force to another, not encountered randomly, and with a bunch of paperwork, prior notice, and scheduling involved.) Therefore wearing an NYPD uniform in California is not impersonating an officer.

And I'm sure there are provisions in the law for actually wearing California Highway Patrol uniforms on California highways, with prior CHP approval, for such purposes as making TV shows.

Ok, THIS answers the legality question.
 Thanks.
