I know Julian's expression is slightly exaggerated, but Zadie must really be delusional to miss that. Not that I'm complaining. I like a good farce.

Exercise is good, but if Zadie wants really good abs she should talk to Peggy. I hear she's got a good exercise regimen. ;)

...how heavy are the dumbbells you lift?

coffee. snorted.

It would be pretty funny if Machio was randomly at the gym, even in the background. Flexing!!

In terms of boundary issues, I guess they're all even this time! Aha. Julian's expression is akin to kitty face, thereby making it uncertain if the enjoyment he was gaining from a belly, or rather, ab rub was sensual or relaxing in nature.
But indeed, people like Julian - at least in terms of body shape - can make one feel insecure about one's own physique at the height of personal goal.
I wonder if this gym tangent is simply a passing joke, or if we'll get more Ma3 cameos when they go to the gym? The world can seem small, however, the fictional version is even smaller, so it isn't beyond belief they could pass some familiar faces.

That, and they live on an island.

NICE BULK!

[BlairFan]

Ah-hah! So that's why there's so many gyms nowadays! (And they're crowded too!) ;)

[Chantaru]

But Zadie already had visible abs.... what am I missing?

[rogermart]

You are missing that you are in the Ma3-verse where everyone has nice abs, so to them, they're normal, unless you show 6-pack and beyond...

Look at Peggy, this was before she got into pegging... She already had nice abs, then she pegged like crazy until she developed the pack, and that's when Aishani noticed...

[BlairFan]

SIX PACK, SIX PACK, SIX PACK!!!
(I just felt like posting that.)

Julian's words in the last panel gave me a flashback to when Suzi freaked out her old male bandmates by crossing an unidentified line in a threesome. A line which somehow involved one of the guys being unable to get the taste of the other out of his mouth...

Hhmmmm. Julien really seemed to enjoy that belly rub. It makes me wonder if he's going to develop a thing for Aaron, and/or vice versa. (because i get the feeling that Aaron might not be as straight as he thinks) Well I guess we'll see. This has caused me to wonder a little bit about Julien's "type." I mean, we know his first love is Dillion, and last we heard, he went on a date with one of Dillion's old theater buddies. And both, for all their foibles, are very attractive men. So, as shallow as this sounds, I wonder how Aaron would fit into that. I mean, I guess once you get past his immature personality he's kind of cute. But at his current state, could he really "compete" per se with Dillion?
