I will be the lone person in the back of the room saying I like this. When everyone else has keeled over, I will consume them and grow stronger. Yes, that means you reading this.

Love Didi, and the reversal line, like Didi may have won, but Kiley not falling for it.

It helps that Kiley isn't intimidated by butts.

I think it's even more important that Kiley has converted this into a structured intellectual exercise. She can win those; she's in her comfort zone, and she's taken DiDi out of hers, so the boob advantage doesn't count for so much now.

I have to admit that I find the wording in the current strips a little odd; there doesn't seem to be anything to prevent DiDi from saying "Oui, I love le wrestling - but I also love you, ma petite Kiley", and dropping Kiley back to square one. In panel 3, Kiley surely should be saying "...you really love wrestling more than me." But whatever, I get the idea of where this is going.

Also, the idea of DiDi as a self-taught lap dancer suddenly makes me want to see Ménage à 3: The Animated Series.

Hell, I'd settle for a looped animated gif of Didi dancing like Holli Would from Cool World, but more is always better of course. I third the motion for a Ma3 animated.

I'd imagine that Kiley doesn't suffer from butt insecurity because she can't directly see hers all the time? Or maybe it's just because of how prevalent front cleavage & top curvature is presented in popular media.

So is Kiley going to draw a parallel with Didi's obsession over wrestling to Didi's obsession over achieving orgasm, and how Didi's infatuation with Kiley is misplaced? I expect her lesson to go in one ear and out the other.

I'm still thinking that Kiley's experiment will backfire because comedy. And here's hoping that we snap back to Gary and Zii next strip.

I don't think it had anything to do with the orgasm thing, considering she already achieved that thanks to Kiley. Which the problem now, at least for Kiley.

Once saw a cute girl at a festival with a quite girly handbag that sported the statement: I LOVE YOU LESS THAN MOSHING

Which is, I realize, neither here nor there, but it's what I have to say about this strip.

oh how i wished kiley was...even a twinge bisexual. theres so much possibility to their relationship. Not narrative-wise no, but I don't really care about that. I like Kiley, I like Didi, it amuses me to see their Dance of the Boob versus the Brain (literally!) and it would've been delightful if there were also a real romance. Alas..it isn't...and I shall go about wishing for that kind of relationship to show up elsewhere

Thing is, Didi's not claiming about a love for wrestling relative to Kiley or whatever. Didi's claiming she's not bothered about wrestling at all. When that would be patently false to a blinddeaf man with numb fingers. And, in this context, THAT is what's getting on Kiley's nerves, that Didi is persisting with such a stupid lie.

True enough, I guess. It's just that telling DiDi she's being stupid feels like shooting fish in a barrel. Persuading her that she's got her priorities scrambled would feel worth doing.
