Still... there is a chance for this to be interrupted. I don't want this to stop mind you, but it feels like we are due for a random encounter.

My guess for the next strip is that while Gary is getting refills, one or both of them is gonna phone a friend about the situation. I'll say Matt seems the likely call. If Gary is the one calling, he'll try to get outside confirmation that Zii's comments are hints that she's interested. Zii would be asking "Am I crazy for thinking of Gary like this?"

I agree. Even if it is Gary's cell getting a booty call from Peggy or a cam-girl help call from Tracy. That way, he can awkwardly say to Zii he might be testing out his junk. I assume it would be in bad taste to ask Zii for a lift to one of them, if it occurred mind you? Or better yet, Zii might try to inject herself into the sexy shenanigans. That would be interesting. :-?

And I agree. Gary now knows exactly what conversation he is in now. Zii could have volunteered to take his member out for a test drive, you know, to make sure it works. But the conversation did not take that turn. A kiss (read: hurried peck on the cheek), while sweet, is also a little too touchy-feely for how each of them are uncomfortable now. Plus we could infer that they have an hour or so still left to burn before they are clear to come back to the apartment - an eternity of "Ha ha" moments. I feel that karma/the power of the script is going to force these two into having a tête-à-tête no matter how much they want to avoid the topic of sex. One of the cornerstones of the Gary/Zii relationship is her being his wingman. And she seems genuinely interested, if uncharacteristically shy, asking Gary how he liked sex with Yuki.

And for the record, I though Zii's bun/scrunch looked nice on her. Granted, her facial expression isn't flattering or sexy (especially compared to the wonderful artwork we've had of her recently). But I'll take the daydream sequence as a prelude to her shoulder angel/devil imminent appearance. Please Giz? ^:)^

I wonder if Zii is feeling like she's on her first date again.

No, please no. Please do not introduce a new character - a young whiny inexperienced punk who thinks he's God's gift, running around with his Daddy's heirloom - and ruin the story. Although if Izzy says she got into playing guitar because of her father, and pulls out her dear-departed dad's bass, I give up.

I'll be very surprised if Gary and Zii actually do the deed during this current story arc. Oh well, maybe just maybe they'll finally bang sometime next volume. I still don't think they'll be a final pairing though.

I fear that the Christmas Future strip is going to be declared non-canonical in the end - the plot seems just to be sliding past that point. Though the themes have shown up in mutated form - Gary taking advice on how to seduce Zii, Gary's butt on the line...

The whiny punk with his daddy's heirloom is Luke Skywalker, who came in sorta late into the Star Wars mythology if you look at the saga as the story of the rise and fall of Anakin. You used the Death Star siren in your sentence, hence me carrying it further with the Star Wars inferences. Izzy is an annoying punk. Bit of a stretch, but meh.
