We should perhaps be careful here; so far, Zadie is just going out for a smoothie with Aaron. The trend doesn't look good, but she's not exactly let him move in yet.OllieOrOlly wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 9:53 amPresumably Zadie is attracted to the youthful exuberance and seemingly juvenile interests that she can share with younger men, but fails to take into account the fact that since they are 19, i.e. teenagers, they are far more likely to be immature and unable to live up to her other expectations in a relationship.
Agreed pretty much entirely. I mean, one probably isn't meant to like Aaron (at this point, anyway), but he serves his purpose in the story, and these comics would be horribly dull if all the characters were blandly likable. But I'm still not sure what the point of the comic is. Ma3 was an energetic, fairly explicit sex comedy with very different characters colliding and managing to get on while they made stupid mistakes; SDB was a character-driven story about two people sparking off each other while working through a little bit of soap opera and sex comedy; SotR is a wild, unrealistic high-drama comedy set against a flashy background with some flamboyant characters -- and they all established their intentions fairly clearly within a few strips of starting. (Though SDB had a false start with Amber, who sank down to secondary status.) So far, PTC is about ... four people working in a shop. Gosh. So much potential for excitement there.OllieOrOlly wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 9:53 am... I'm still really liking the art... Don't know about the new series yet. I don't dislike the characters so far, well, maybe Aaron because he is obnoxious, but Zadie is still early days, and I find Jung and Ramona to be capable supporting characters, however, dull leads, if that is what they are meant to be now. I am fine having neutral feelings for a while at least. (Hell, leaps and bounds above that shall not be named despicable so-called fantasy "comedy," and other than that, not hating characters is a pleasant relief)
Priorities. He has a date of sorts. For someone like him, that's what matters here.worldshaking00 wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 11:00 amAnd Aaron is leaving the shop in the outfit. Ballsy indeed.
Agreed. In the Ma3verse, it has been that way since Strip 1, panel 4.Spidrift wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 11:13 am"At this point"??LegendaryKroc wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 9:33 amTypical.

Set your timer for how long it will take him to realize this. Getting a girl to go out and get even a nonalcoholic beverage is a rare thing so he’s probably too dazzled to know.worldshaking00 wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 11:00 amAnd Aaron is leaving the shop in the outfit. Ballsy indeed.
