Now that's a blast from the past. I always found it amusing how upset some people got with Zii's Revenge.

Now, given that mention of the Vyndicator Incident was officially banned on these boards, is discussion of this strip technically prohibited?

Anyhow, this feels a little like clearing up an old controversy, the way that Dillon's "27 straight guys" boast was eventually cleared up on SDB. Housekeeping. I'm not sure that this represents another move towards the comic's endgame, but it could.

I have to say that it also feels a bit like Zii enabling adolescent sleaziness, but I guess it's not her fault that Vyndicator chooses to boast about his mother's affairs. Still, distributing imagery of herself with Amber, when Amber is trying to get out of the porn business, might be considered dubious. One hopes that she had Amber's permission.

And these last couple of strips depend on Gary knowing details of past events in the comic for which he wasn't personally present. Evidently, other characters end up telling him stuff. I guess that he comes across as such a human sponge that he's easy to over-share with - even if he does actually have enough moral sense to feel bad for Vyndicator.

Oh, and perhaps more importantly - Zii has now progressed to admitting to herself that she might be considering banging Gary. She's sliding down the ratchet.

Holy shit its this storyline again Ahahaha *breaths* Ahahahaaaa

You know, I'd like to say the forum has gotten better since 2009, but that maaaaay be a lie - If a half truth, haha. God this brings back some fucking memories - back in the days of old school headlight Didi, Yuki entangling her tentacles around the story, Zii being bloodthirsty and some people's ideas of absolute evil, Gary a hopeless virgin, Kiley appearing as the world's best and most successful psychologist ever birthed, and a forum so internally vile and toxic that the blood of banned members made rivers run crimson with the hammered viscera of restless discontents. Ahhhh.... the good old days, before the great bloodbath of the devirgining swallowed the light of the forums with questionably condomy contents.

I see that Vyndicator seems to have survived the life crippling trauma of 2010. In fact, weirdly enough all the characters seem to have somehow made it through all the foretold prophetic horrors of many a past closed thread alright... how very strange. You know everyone, I am starting to really believe after nearly a decade that these may be fictional characters. Gimme another decade - science may discover the answer one day.

Also, hnnnnng Zii is so preeeetty is these latest pages - I can feel my pupils becoming hearts

I suppose there is no harm in this particular plot being resurrected seeing as how it's now confirmed Vincent did not become an emotionally stunted shut in... well anymore than he was originally. Some may call this a retcon to make Zii look good, but a lot of those people aren't here anymore so who cares.

Admittedly I never liked that plot much, but not for a lot of the reasons that forum members expressed ad nauseum. No I was more bothered about how it was all too easy. Trolls have only gotten worse in the years since this plot and I am so envious of anyone who could take the war right to their home. :ymdevil:

Did Doc Brown say hi? Because this story was from way back in time. I wasn't a reader back then but I can imagine, from the comments so far, it was a bad time.

It feels like it we are going that way, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Even so, Zii is handling this well, keeping Gary clueless. I'm pretty sure she will need time to think this over some more, but she might not get the chance being this is a comedy.

Does this mean that Zii's actions have finally been vyndicated?

For me, the line "his mom doesn't cry any more" is really the kicker. Whatever else Zii did and for whatever reasons, good or bad, she helped get a woman out of a bad marriage. I'm not nominating her for sainthood, but she did good.

Is that twinkling I see in both of their eyes?

Maybe Gary should join Tinder and swipe right when Zii appears! ;)

Hm. Ma3 characters are communicating with one another clearly. Zii is honestly considering her feelings.

This whole situation is far too stable. What will happen now to derail it?

Assuming Vyndicator is a kid, isn't this technically illegal? Sending a minor a video recording of yourself naked? I'm sure the kid knows or has seen some porn, but doubting this is on the Internet.

No one's naked. You don't see the straps? Zii just took a selfie of herself kissing Amber. That's it. And I'm pretty sure that Amber would be aware of a selfie and that it may do the rounds. A kiss is not technically porn, right?
