The temptation to develop this theory is growing on me. Maybe we've not seen Felicia's face, not as a trivial joke, but because the writers are setting up a shock sub-slasher-thriller reveal about Angel's dark manipulative schemes. Unfortunately, there are a couple of plot problems with this theory, and anyway it's out of character for the comic, but it'd score a heck of a lot for chutzpah.I wrote:(Which was a joke, but I'm now imagining a seriously creepy, Kinsey-5 sort of version of Angel, who'd go out and seduce Felicia just so he could get closer to Jerzy and Dillon...)
Angel is talking fluent manga-nese in this strip. It's not an interest he's mentioned before, but whatevs. Giz's characters should probably be assumed to know their manga by default.Static wrote:I don't speak Japanese either, evidently. It took me coming here to post to figure out what the hell "BL Action" was supposed to stand for. Is this a common phrase somewhere?
One reason I have for hanging in with this comic is that Ruby has been allowed to retain a spark of intelligent personality. Even when she's confused, out of her depth, and in denial, she seems to be able to take a sensible guess about what she's hearing - enough to feel embarrassed about it, anyway. Whatever's going on here, whatever Angel's gibberish means, she's twigged that she's better off getting away.ChattaStarhawk wrote:Annnnd Ruby is as clueless as ever ("Boys love fiction - well, of course they love fiction. Adventure stories, mostly."), but does have the feeling that she's missing something...
