... Zii might prefer a porn regime, but I don’t think she or Gary have the skill set necessary to give rise to an authoritarian hentai-based government.
With a whisper, and then a roar, the revolution began. Men and women took the streets demanding their rights to enjoy good smut not be diminished. Let porn with stories reign supreme throughout the land and let no man, or woman, be judged for their tastes and fetishes. Then, amongst the rising tide of sexual freedom, the riotous orgies began. And that, my friends, is how the revolution came... giggitty.
You inspire your people to indulge themselves in such foul smut, Jackass Mask?

YOU HERETIC! *BLAM*

For the record, regime is a wholly subsumed synonym of regimen. Every definition of regime can be used for regimen and vice versa, although calling a government a regimen is like Elizabethan era out of style.

Touching moment and I approve of where this is going. I don't like seeing Zii wallow or suffer (for too long). I also like Gary being the caring doofus that he is. If only Didi acted in such a similar manner as Gary, how things would have changed...

Reading panel 4 reminded me of a quote from The Big Lebowski, "the brain is the biggest erogenous zone." It seems to be true for Didi and I think we'll see if it is also true for Zii once she gets her head on straight & her band's duck in a row. Didi & Zii shared a fondness for watching horror movies. Gary and Zii will have their porn. Speaking of callbacks, I wonder if one of the porn videos they'll watch will include the tape Zii & Amber made that Zii told Gary that he would have to wait on. You know, for old time's sake? Also, Gary has gone wayyyy past second base by now.

It does feel like a scene change is imminent. Didi contemplating her future, both with wrestling and with Zii, or dealing with the machinations of Lynn & the WW3? Name-dropping Izzy and 'the male drummer' might give us a clue as to Zii's day... perhaps she will feel invigorated and make a (minor) breakthrough with them (and all thanks to Gary)? We haven't seen many other of the characters recently... Sonya & Yuki, Matt, even Tracy or Kiley too. Should fit them in sometime soon, since Montreal is so small and cozy. Or maybe the Tempests (especially Maura) will take an active interest in derailing Didi's schmoozing up to Annie Conda. The next big plot moment was mentioned as Didi's first tag team match, so it makes sense that our cast needs to start making their way there.

I think the ship teasing got so strong it looped back on itself and we're now back in Just Friends territory.

Some of us still have a pathetic, geeky hope that a long overdue promise might be kept involving a quasi-crossover storyline.

It's funny, I actually got the opposite impression.

Sure, they are giving each other the "We are such good friends!" talk, but... if you think about it... exactly what are they going to do?

They are going to sit together in front of a TV set and watch hot, steamy pornos until Zii gets so turned on by the erotic action before her eyes that her libido rallies back in full force -- at which point she will grab the first person at hand and ravish them with a vengeance to make up for all those days of abstinence.

There's no way they aren't aware, at least in a vague subconscious way, of what's about to happen. Frankly, by panel 4, I almost could hear the "va va va voom" in the background...

Considering current state of politics, I'd vote for this one. :ymdevil:

I keep forgetting how much of a creep he is.
There are many, even most, women, with whom this would be creepy even from a close male friend.

Zii is really, really, really not one of them.

Uh, yeah. Given their history, and that it was Giz suggested watching together, it didn't even occur to me that this might rate as an issue.

Missing from the discussion is any consideration of an effort to apologize to Sonya and Yuki and maybe get them back in the band.

Still, nice conversation and empathetic Gary. Im glad the comic has been more apartment focused again.
They don't want to talk to her at the moment though.

I'm gonna be disappointed if they don't get together in the end. They have the best chemistry of anyone in this entire story.

Tee hee hee.

You gotta admit this is quite the amusing Freudian slip. ;))

Oh, I meant I forgot about his allegedly-gargantuan porn collection.

I wouldn't color him a creep because of his porn collection. He wasn't doing anything lascivious (okay by definition he is). Besides, it was mostly of Amber Amber and he gave all of it to her we he saw her as a real person and not a masturbatory aid, so it's probably not that big anymore if there's anything left. It's funny that he actually bought physical media. He was really dedicated to her and Chanelle Fine.
