Ah, you're right. That's one of the problems with generic character designs.Fluffy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 11:21 amHe isn't. That's Chris - the star quarterback of the football team.

Not so surprising is the macho Ted sexually assaulting a male cheerleader.
So, I amend by statement by saying: Not so surprising that macho Ted is basically sexually assaulting Chris the footballer... again.

Another thing I'm not sure about. Have we dropped the one mind in two bodies thing completely now? It's been several strips since we last saw any sign of it.

Looks too consensual to be assault.OllieOrOlly wrote: ↑Tue Nov 06, 2018 8:44 amAh, you're right.

@Cortez - by assault, I'm guessing they mean the pheromones that Teddy is probably excreting in order to make Chris more receptive to gay loving (similar to how he wooed both the guys and the girls when he was a girl).
Please, don't come to me expecting me to fix your problems.

Well, maybe it DID, for a while, but the fact all existing comics are winding down and being ended several books ahead of the planned finales tells me they're not selling enough to justify their continued existences. So it clearly isn't selling THAT many comics anymore.FuzzyFace wrote: ↑Tue Nov 06, 2018 4:15 amApparently, it sells comics...?LegendaryKroc wrote: ↑Tue Nov 06, 2018 12:43 amWhile this strip is on the subject, could the writer please stop this tired-ass shit where someone who is introduced as one sexuality (usually straight) somehow develops feelings for someone else who is outside that sexulity (i.e. goes gay or bi) or is put into a compromising position with them out of plot contrivance?

For the record, there's an unnecessary "s" in the final "comics" word. I meant comic SINGULAR, this one specifically. Don't know why I didn't catch it; think it's because I typed that post up with a phone keyboard and my finger kept slipping on the "i"s and "o"s, typing 8 & 9 respectively instead. Either way, Typo and I hate it.

Aren't they ending because of Gis is focusing on her other work?

If it was just due to Giz being incredibly busy with more mainstream comics; they'd just find a new artist to take her place (like they had with MC and DC).
So, no - Pixie Trix is coming to a close for more than just giving Giz the opportunity to focus on larger projects.

They said ad revenue was down. So they're ending everything
Pointless arguing is one of the three pillars upon which the Internet is built. The other two are of course cat pictures and porn.

Yup. Ad revenue is tanking across the internet, that's why you've seen the rise of stuff like Patreon and other crowdfunding options. The projects Giz was doing for Archie and such are too random to rely on paying the bills, but she wasn't going to say no because those were dream jobs. She's also working on a new comic for Image, called Exorsisters.vampire hunter D wrote: ↑Tue Nov 06, 2018 8:11 pmThey said ad revenue was down. So they're ending everything
So, something had to give. That's why Eerie Cuties and Magic Chicks had really rough endings and why Chloe is just kind of YOLO'ing toward an ending.

I do hope they find some way to do more stories. I'd love to see more of the Melissas. And really want to see more of Tiffany

That still saddens me to hear. EC and MC were the best two comics Pixie Trix had to offer (imo) and both of them got schlacked with a bunch of unresolved plot threads. I'd really like to see them return one day, but I'd be worried that EC/MC might end up going down the same road as DC. In which case, I'd prefer to remember them as they were.renmei wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 5:10 amYup.

Indeed. Yet perhaps my lack of mentioning the pheromone aspect made it too ambiguous.
Also, the eyes look like shock, rather than pleasure or pleasant surprise at getting his butt grabbed, before the overload to the senses and pheromones took hold.

I think that startled expression comes more from Naomi catching them in the alley more than anything else. He's the alpha male/star quarterback of the football team. If it got out he was fooling around with a guy in a back alley - well - even in this day and age, it would still be scandalous.
I still agree it's technically assault, though; seeing as Chris wouldn't want anything to do anything with Teddy if the pheromones weren't involved.
