I'm thinking that the fanboys had seen the footage from the trade show and recognized her from that...

Probably. I'm sure that GalloGeeks would be too cool for the alternative. Just ask them.

Ok, being able to contrast tge same scene by the two artists is fun.

But, now I want to see it done by Shouri and Cass too.....

Yay, another opportunity for Sandra to show Senna she doesn't need her at all, and is becoming successful! ^^

SotR has had some time dilation when sandra was working for sienna or during the trade shows, so they can be exactly on cue for this moment.

I want to thank the entire pixie trix crew for making this event fit together so well. Most webcomics would not invest that much effort.

The former would be hard, and kill SotR - not only do they update on different days, but there will be more Ma3 strips than SotR (Ma3's next update is Thurs, then SotR on Fri, then Ma3 on Sat, then both again next Tuesday). Your two possibilities are [1] straight crossover - part 1 in Ma3, part 2 in SotR, part 3 in Ma3, continue until crossover ends or [2] "actually different while happening at the same time" - i.e., in Ma3 we have Gary-vision, SotR has Sandra-vision. The latter would still be hard on SotR, since it would have to cover twice as much ground in every second strip to keep up with Ma3.

No time dilation was required; the two comics have been entirely out of synch until this moment, each moving at their own pace without reference to the other, basically ever since SotR started. Remember that Ma3 is in flashback at the moment; when Gary starts doing some kind of favour for Sandra, this story will be synched with Ma3 #750 and the night of the lesbian orgy, and when Sandra takes a phone call from DiDi, it'll be synched with Ma3 #762.

Oh I don't know about that. After all it was only 6 years ago we had The Crossover Wars, which, according to TV Tropes, involved 50 different webcomics and 3 forums and spanned more that 1500 strips over a 9 month period.

Huh. Esui's style really favors the guys. Something about Senna just looks a bit too lean or scrawny for my tastes, which is odd because I don't get that impression off of Sandra whose limbs appear a bit thicker in comparison.

Then again, Giz does Senna as a more classically attractive model. Esui's take is closer to the really thin look of a fashion model.

By the way, I'm guessing that we may get some attempts to have events in Ma3 and SotR interwoven for the next few strips, without it being quite mandatory for anyone to read both for the story to make sense. For example, tomorrow's SotR can have the start of a conversation between Sandra and Senna; the details of today's conversation between Gary and Senna aren't known to Sandra, and so the interaction between the two women, seen mostly from Sandra's point of view, should make sense without the reader knowing what Senna and Gary just said to each other.

Id have to disagree with you there. Google the strip Marry Me and you'll see Eisu can draw both men and women equally well. While Giz's version of Senna is less angular, Eisu has really made Sandra his own, both in her beauty and expressiveness.
