Think theatre. She's shielding herself from the fourth wall.

Maybe Zii and Yuki will get back together without Gary so he will be free from both of them.

I now hope that Gary ends up in a polyamorous relationship with DiDi, Matt, and Izzy, while working for Nathan -- just for the joy of quaffing fanboy tears of futile rage.

You forget the Bonularity, it will start with Zii and Yuki, progress to Didi and Sonya, somehow Sandra will get involved, Kiley will come back ... then before you know it Gary will become the Pussy Master and the Bonularity will transform North America with Montreal as the epicenter.

Or, to put it another way - Who does Gary have to blow for me to get a drink round here?

Apparently, you can fit under the whole thing if you're short enough- whick Yuki seems to think she and Zii are.

Well, Spi ninja'd me... But yeah, fourth wall. I this case, the wall right in front of the faces of stupid advertisers.

Also, I think that two people arguing over a third is quite hard to draw without the result being cluttered. So you get the classic Archie Comics pose, of which this is essentially a variant; the two arguing people in profile, getting in each others' faces, while the third pulls faces at the fourth wall from between them.

It's formal artistic convention, not realism.
