Has nobody but me noticed that karmic, nay, Dantean blackout bar in panel 3?

Ouch, Senna. Not even considered a public figure anymore - that's got to hurt.

Especially since the clerk at the store apparently is...

Well, now, Senna, how's it feel to be downgraded to "anonymized background bystander"?? :ymdevil:

Also, Marie, stop Molesting Mitzy Molar! :-T

Surprised?? The clientele of these comics is pretty knowledgeable in things geek. Even I've managed to catch a reference no one else seems to have gotten.

Actually, I think Alex and Marie themselves make a perfectly fine couple!

If those two aren't at least FWB'ing, with no clear reason why not, the only possible response, in the Ma3-derived universe, is a furrowed brow and a "Why not?"

But I suspect that their main function is going to be as a mostly-off-stage fan club/Greek chorus. So their private lives may be pretty much irrelevant.

Greek Chorus: a character not engaged in the main action, whose only role is to comment about what is going on. Originates from the Chorus in original Greek Theater.
Here you are

Sorry if it was a joke I didn't get. :D

(Ah, TV Tropes. The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy to Wikipedia's Encyclopaedia Galactica.)

In truth, Alex and Marie are not quite up to Greek Chorus status yet; they provide a subsidiary plotline rather than commenting on the main story. Definitely a Geek Chorus, though.

It was a pun on Greek/Geek. Here's another: "Beware of Geeks bearing GIFs".
