If this strip is currently synchronised with Ma3, I assume that Amber is waiting for Gary to sort out his situation with Yuki before he comes back to her. She may be optimistic about the prospects there, but she might assume that it may take a few days, so if she finds that she evidently has time to kill - well, might as well plan for the worst case. It's not like what she feels for Gary is any kind of deep exclusive romantic passion.

In fact, the delay before they meet again will depend (a) how long Sonya chooses to keep Gary in bed, one way or another, (b) how much Gary is waylaid by DiDi or maybe Senna, and (c) whether Gary does something weird like trying to take some time out to think about things. But Amber wouldn't know any of that.

And if this strip is set a little later in some kind of timeline, Amber may actually have seen Gary, and maybe even got him into bed once or twice, but also discovered that things have got complicated there, with competition for his attention. She may reckon that she can put up a good fight there herself, but in the meantime, might as well check out the fallback positions (fnah fnah). Eminently practical girl, Amber.

Based on the other Pixie Trix comics Amber/Gary is dead in the water. Characters from other inuniverse comics make appearances but nothing plot related*





*which makes me wonder what is going to happen to Jaqui since she now tied to the plot of Dangerously Chloe. She hasn't done much in Magick Chicks so maybe shes jumping?

I'm still wondering if Amber thinking Didi is Yuki will amount to anything. It seems to have fallen by the wayside for now, but there's still time.

Are we positive that it isn't set earlier than Ma3's present? Because that might also account for it.

Possible, but highly unlikely, I think. Unless it's set before Chanelle gives Amber her little prompt to go chase Gary - which would be inconveniently far back - then Amber would either be too busy to go chasing men, or planning what to do about Gary's situation.

Unless it's set so far back that the two comics are left completely out of synch, I guess. But that would end up being messy and confusing. They are meant to be set in the same universe, with the potential for crossovers.

Last time we saw Amber, she was encouraging Gary to tell Yuki he loves her. And if he failed, to call her. Prooooooobably she expects this will take some time and thought, as it does for a huge amount of people. Not many people immediately jump into bed with Sonya after a break up. As far as I know.

I don't blame Amber for having issues with meeting guys. Porn's bound to warp something. I mean look how she met Gary. She tricked him into going down on her. Depending on who you are, that's either a terrible first impression or an awsome one. (I, for one, would be furious, but I have issues with touching strangers. I knew while reading that Gary was going to go bananas over it though.)

I would love to see Gary and Amber together, but honestly I don't see it happening. They're so incredibly different. What would they talk about? Her porn?

Usually the end.
Well, when the subject comes up it's probably going to be at the end of the relationship, intended or not.

More seriously, size is really two different questions: Length and thickness.

Length is not a factor, since most of the sensation in the vagina is at the opening. (If the particular woman has a 'thing' about length, it could become an issue, but it wouldn't be related to actual sensation.)

Thickness relates to stretching and pressure, which have a major effect on the intensity of the sensation, but with kegel exercises the pressure is not dependent on diameter, so that also ceases to be an issue.

There are very few personal problems which can't be solved by a suitable application of high explosives.

Agreed.

Amber seems actually to be quite bright, is from as educated a background as any of the characters (both parents doctors, remember), and is trying to get into straight acting. This makes me think that she probably comes across as quite literate, even cultured, when you get to know her. I could imagine her working with Gary much the same way I could see him with Kiley; actually talking, and Gary getting his horizons expanded in ways that have nothing to do with sex.

Conversely, I'm sure that she'd find his hobbies amusing places to visit, though there'd be a hell of a problem with her accompanying him to conventions and such; they'd be full of geeks who'd recognise her and fail to hide the fact.

Yeah, yeah. Like Gary has broad horizons in everything except sex.
