Re: 14-04-18 Reasons we clicked
I said before that we really know nothing about Peggy, or her back story. I had thought there would be resolution with her old boyfriend; color me flabbergasted and slightly embarrassed that there was an OLDER girlfriend in the mix. Perhaps Peggy got in touch with her, having recently "discovered" pegging was a thing she liked? She even said at one point that had she known pegging was a thing, she'd have rocked Didi's world that night.
I'm curious to see how introduction of a character only barely hinted at can be resolved in the remaining 69 strips (69, dudes!), with so much other loose threads that need attention.

Well, she may end up as no more than a two-strip plot device, to expose Gary’s feelings for Peggy. So far, she’s just someone who Peggy goinked in the past (in a period previously alluded to) and who's not above throwing a butt-pat now.
(I’d kind of like to see Jim’s story get a little more resolution myself, but that doesn’t have to involve Peggy. He seemed like a pleasant guy with a minor hang-up and honest feelings for a woman who’d gone off him. I’m sentimental enough to imagine him having found a woman who likes what he does have to offer.)

If it turns out that Peggy notices Gary and perceives that he is jealous should would likely be flattered. She might have the impression that Gary had thought of her just as a fucktoy.
My preference is that it turns out to be a threesome. With most guys a FFM threesome can cure a lot of jealousy.
I posted my question on the wrong thread. So feely-feely it is.

Re: 14-04-18 Reasons we clicked
I figured dinner was over for the reason you italicized. Peggy did not mention that dining at the restaurant was the only part of her date night. They were walking away together, so there might be something else for them to catch up on? Or perhaps another venue for drinks afterwards? Or maybe Bianca is going to her vehicle and going to give Peggy a lift. Hard to say, although I am sure we'll get more details in the upcoming strips.
Indeed!
Bianca's wardrobe strikes me as more business or business casual-like. Note that Peggy's attire is also not hypersexualized (little black dress anyone?). Both are showing a politely acceptable amount of cleavage. It does seem like most of our dyed-in-the-wool lesbians in the strip are more into wearing suits and traditionally masculine comfortable clothing. Sonya being an exception, possibly (because she isn't one, har-har ). Other than the porn stars called by Tracy, I don't recall a stereotypical 'lipstick' lesbian (if indeed those porn stars really identified as such).
Keeping everything cozy and having one character know another, what if Bianca is Lynn's 'evil boss' or an attorney acting on behalf of the WW3s interests, in town to get Didi's signature on her proposed contract? Bianca knew Peggy lived in Montreal and she decided to catch up on old times. Checklist: college graduate material, good taste, has extra spending money. Introducing a new character (granted: with potential ties to Peggy's past) seems unwise without a necessary plot point. I'll admit I was curious about the voice behind the "Imperial March" ringtone, as well as who introduced Peggy to her Kinsey 1 or 2. Why not satisfy both?

Because it would require a ridiculous level of coincidence?

…and then torrid fantasies of Peggy and Bianca having wild passionate, lesbian sex started racing through Gary's mind. And he knew he just had to watch them, having at it again. ;)

Re: 14-04-18 Reasons we clicked
Gary is definitely going to spy on Peggy and her dinner date now. The question now becomes will Gary crash said date? I'm hoping he just backs off and goes home and decides to have some introspection. Nah, he'll still crash Peggy's date, Peggy will get angry at Gary for crashing her date, and she'll end their FWB relationship. Then Gary goes through another dry spell for a while at least until Zii's relationship with Didi comes to an end.

I guess you mean "dry spell" there in the last sentence.

Zii introducing Amber (Gary's lesbian porn wank go-to girl) to girl-on-girl action? Sonya being a more-than-competent bassist (at just the right time for Zii to need one)? Comedy, and coincidence I think in this case, comes in threes.

Re: 14-04-18 Reasons we clicked
Why, yes. It's hilarious that someone would think, while reading this comic of all things, "God, no, such-and-such could never happen, it'd be too big of a coincidence!"
Convenient coincidence is one of the hallmark plot devices of Ma3.

True, the comic isn’t averse to coincidence. Still, it’d be a stretch.

Re: 14-04-18 Reasons we clicked
Have you noticed? The current strip is sandwiched betwixt two blocks of publicity, and, while the one above remains always the same, the one below keeps changing. Yesterday it was about two pins with the faces of Sonya and Yuki, today it's about a deck of cards illustrated with Ma3 characters.
Gary as the King of Hearts made me chuckle. Come a long way, this boy has.
I wholeheartedly approve the picks for the four queens: Zii, DiDi, Sonya and Amber. In fact, as it happens, Amber is the Queen of Hearts... that is, Gary's matching queen... hmm...
Could it be that, after all this time discussing which one between Zii or Peggy is a better pairing for Gary, we are heading towards a surprise ending???

I noticed. In fact...
I'd be grateful if somebody explained me what the fudge Sonya is trying to say in this balloon.
