Why is this interaction so endearing?! I'm literally squeeing, it's so cute! :x

And at least we now know who won the fight. XD

Gary frantically trying to bring to words what he could easily show?... Yep, he's still our Gary.


I have had dozens of similarly awkward conversations though. They usually end with laughter. This installment is light, sweet, and feels very real.

They'll probably do that in the Ma3 strip.

Probably so... it really depends on how quickly the writers want the story to progress and whether the writers believe that it would be more amusing for Tatiana to interrupt at this moment.

I think most of us saw something like this conversation coming from the moment Sandra walked into that game store.

It really *IS* cute, tho...

Third base?...Well if this is third base, I can't wait until Gary gets to 322 base, and they begin holding hands.

The third base thing is a reference to the "Who's on first" joke by Abbot and Costello http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTcRRaXV-fg

Very funny routine and still remain one of my favourite.

So Gary is a well-brought-up Canadian. He speaks two languages; conversational English and fluent Gibberish. And he looks so happy when he's talking about something he knows about. The kid needs kicking out of his comfort zone, hard, for his own sake.

(Because once he knows about a wider range of things, he could be happy more often.)

Anyway, it looks like we get the videogame gags in the SotR strips and the psychosocial stuff in the Ma3 strips. And is it just me, or does this actually look like it occurs before the last two Ma3 strips? Senna's elegantly pointedly rude yawn in panel 2 looks to me like the prelude to her attack in Tuesday's strip. Except that Gary has the system better set up here than he did there.
