Re: Matt v. Dillon: That's what happens when I post in the wee hours of the morning, I guess.

Re: Temporal editing: If Didi started to get herself together to investigate when the boys were wrestling rather than waiting for Didi's preorgasmic screams that would fix that problem.

I'm betting karma hits Zii with about a 20 ton anvil once Gary gets his camera back. ;)

[ShadowRaven]

ooh, right, Camera. One Karma Bitch-slap, with a side order of guilt comeing right up.

[aishabe]

I'm telling you, this is all just a dream sequence, A la "Dallas".

Also, wouldn't it be "garcons mechants"? (I don't know how to do accents on here, :roll:. But I know Gis is Canadian, so perhaps it's slang. Or maybe my French teachers have been lying to me.)

[Gammasite]

Yep...that pretty much tore it for me. I'm officially sick of Zii and her antics. I want some karmic retribution for Zii, and some action for Gary that isn't wrapped up in either him forgetting it or not noticing it in the first place.

[Arantor]

Well, I figure it should be garçons méchants, but perhaps where DiDi has begun to speak in English (even though French is her first language) the habitual practice of shoving the adjective in first has crept in.

And for the record, I couldn't remember either what méchants meant but Google's Language Tools told me it meant "wicked."

And Zii definitely should get her comeuppance.

[Giz]

Méchants garçons stands for bad boys. The adjective "méchants" goes in front of the word, like in English. It would only go after the word if used with a verb like "Les garçons sont méchants" (the boys are bad.)

[njbarsuli13]

As Giz has now stated, there are certain adjectives that will come before the noun (typically, the more commonly used ones: beau/laid, jeune/âgé, autre, etc.), but most adjectives come after the noun, as you thought they would.

I love this webcomic. Tons.

[Solokian]

True.
And btw, "coonass" doesn't exist as far as I know. You may be thinking of "conasse", which the feminin form of "connard", which means "asshole" or something like that.

I agree! She should totally be punished! By DiDi...in a white catsuit and they should...

Hmmm...maybe that's a tale better told my shrink.

[Skittles]

Aww, there goes my dream of an all character oil party.

I feel really bad for Gary, Zii has gotten to see DiDi naked, gotten to have head buried in her boobs on more than one occasion, plus feel them up....so not fair. Any more karma build up and Gary should be getting a huge payoff.

[Bear]

I gets harder with each issue to make a comment without covering what I've said a thousand times before, or covering something that someone else hasn't already pointed out. Saying that though... Awesome artwork and expression yet again Giz! You definately get better at drawing the characters each strip.

Onto the subject... Zii is defiantely a youngest child or only girl in a family of boys to so masterfully manipulate the situation with an outburst like that. To go from so suddenly opperating on 'ooo.. Oil man-love' to 'ooo.. boobies'... Zii must have a hair trigger on her sexual preference reset switch.

Seriously, if this keeps up with Zii being soo manipulative, Gary's karmic payback is going to be equal to the contents of Fort Knox.

Lame. Plain n simple but hey we have to continue the story from somewhere.... *sigh* :roll:

[MerchManDan]

Truth: I don't blame Zii for a second. Because I would do the exact same thing. And you would too.

Oh man, Didi is PISSED. That look could burn a hole through a battleship. :shock:

[MrBishop]

Méchand - means 'mean' - calling someone Méchand means that you're calling him/her a meanie (mean person). Didi is calling our two gladiators, Méchands - Meanies.

Oh....It's too late for Zii to 'get hers' - at this point, Didi is in comfort-zone, and won't believe a word they might say.
