Probably should've asked earlier, and I apologise if it has already been answered, but is this guest strip canon?
If so, when in the timeline does it occur? It doesn't seem to match current story status of either comic.
Still enjoyable, regardless.

Well, whatever Domenico is famous for as a photographer, it can't be originality. That's three of the most cliched "sexy" images in the history of cartooning...
Also, Tatiana's evil glasses work much better when they have a mirror finish. Being able to see her eyes makes her much less sinister. And if she can get rid of Domenico's favourites this easily, why is Sandra still around?

I didn't notice that Tatiana was in the first three panels until I looked a second time. The Didi effect is real; it would seem.

Probably because Zoe isn't around to fix whatever Tatiana sabotages. I think appointing her Sandra's roommate was the most subtle way Zoe could punish her without revealing that she knows exactly what she's been up to and won't tolerate it. As such she would probably be the first one to tell Domenico he can keep DiDi as a muse, but she can't be a model because everyone would be staring at her and not what they're advertising. While it would be delicious to see Tatiana save Sandra's modeling career I think Zoe would put her foot down if Domenico wanted to dump her.Spidrift wrote:Well, whatever Domenico is famous for as a photographer, it can't be originality.

Only one more strip left so I doubt DiDi will encounter anymore of Sandra's friends which is a pity since I would just love to see Lavali's reaction.

Yeah. I was hoping for some more interactions with the Paris crowd, and fewer obvious jokes not terribly well done. What would Marie make of DiDi? How much effort would she have to put into preventing Alex being hypnotised down to the intellectual level of an asparagus?

Re: 11-08-16 DiDi does Paris 5 of 6
so, Didi is working with Frederico, and Tatiana is as possesive with Frederico as witn Dominico
THAT IS NOT even remotely like Dominico
and I have to take these strips as not really canon

...and there's nasty Tatiana. No doubt, she's getting Didi out of the picture to protect Sandra (and her job ). I suppose she could have a slight backlash of Didi-effect, too.
Edit: forgot to give many thanks to our guest artist for the Didi fan service. Well done.

Yeah, none of this really makes any sense. I don't know who that guy with the camera is, but he's not Dominico, and this whole scenario feels like "it was all just a dream" ... or maybe "silly fanfic."wiseguy wrote:so, Didi is working with Frederico, and Tatiana is as possesive with Frederico as witn Dominico

The logic of which claim eludes me.worldshaking00 wrote:...and there's nasty Tatiana. No doubt, she's getting Didi out of the picture to protect Sonya ...
I'm not actually sure what Tatiana and Sonya would make of each other, if they ever met...

Both of those have already been answered:Spidrift wrote:What would Marie make of DiDi? How much effort would she have to put into preventing Alex being hypnotised?
- 2. Alex wasn't impressed and would still rather have Sandra.

seeing live and seeing pics are 2 different things
and many people still admire Didi but are smitten with someone else
like Eric with Zii for a while, Matt with Kiley

I love DiDi's expressions expressions in this strip. They're f***ing adorable. So while I will concede that this guest series has got many things very wrong, can we all agree that it got one thing so very right?

No one's going to mention her mishapen breasts in panel 3? Not sure what happened there.
I'm not trying to nitpick, I'm sure the guest artist is trying. Vut after the whole bit with Domenico who was basically retconned, it's hard not to mention the little details.

the bottom part(under her arm ) might be an error drawing of her breast OR it can be part of the bikini top, as it is likely the top has 4 strings and one of the ones shown at bottom part (under her breasts or one toward the right bottom ) might be from the left side of the bikini top and not the right one (breast shown)
