Different font, mixed case (EC is usually 100% capitals).

Meanwhile, Dio Dio evidentally hasn't been with the family long enough to realise that Blair has a one-track mind: bigger boobies >> money.

Not just you.

And if I were Ace, I'd have turned around and walked out on panel 2. The stupidity just burns. L-)

From Futurama:

Amy: [shouting] C'mon in, Gary! I'll just be another 20 minutes.

Gary: [from outside] I'll be waiting.

Fry: 20 minutes? You're practically ready now!

Amy: Yeah, but it's good to make them wait a little.

Fry: Oh, God, it's true!

Blair is Gosenkugi to Dio's Kuno it seems. :p

Anyhoo, I like how Ace wasn't even bothered by Dio's condescension and snarked on it instead. Some of Brooke's personality may have rubbed off on him.

Looks like Renoir is not getting his money's worth.

I doubt Mr. Delacroix would be any more pleased to hear Blair is spying on Mrs. Delacroix in the shower than she would be.

Are there girls who really do that on purpose? I don't think I have ever met a guy who "built anticipation" because of that; most of us just get mildly annoyed, reducing the impression their attractiveness may had on us.

I have always felt that it's kind of an instinctive way to weed out jerks and guys who aren't really interested in developing a relationship.

I suppose forcing you to be patient also "builds character", or probably that's just what they want us to believe. :p

It's fascinating how almost everything that is supposed to help you "build character" could easily be seen as a way of training you to be subservient.

Well if you were more subservient, there wouldn't be a problem ;)

*deadpan* Ha Ha Ha.

Is it me or Dio vaguely looks like Gaston in this one ?
If really Blair goes on whith spying on Maria, Dio's plan may be the fastest to fall appart that I've ever seen.

Nina lines remember you that she's still Nina and very inexperienced. It's a good thing, so Ace will be able to explain to her that making a guy waiting is just as rude as for a girl.

Well, I keep wanting him to resemble Gaston. . .about three minutes after his confrontation with the Beast.
