I must say I really like the steam and shower effects in this one :)
So much so that being thoroughly entertained by Christophe's confusion about self has to come second on the list.

I don't feel like the faces are in any significant way different from the last strip? The hair frames them a bit differently, because it's wet, and the steam and shower add a bit of a "filter" of their own, so maybe that's it?
Or else I'm just not particularly perceptive (but it seems to me that 3rd and 4th panel in #234 have the same face for Marie as 2nd panel here. Ditto for 1st panel there, 3rd panel here)

(but Eisu has, as Azrael points out, been playing around with this recently)

Okay, even in his threesome fantasy, it's getting more and more clear that Christophe wants Alex more than he wants Marie.

Oh, Christophe, there's nothing wrong with being bisexual.

There is a minority-in-minority of people that are bisexual but mono(homo/hetero)romantic. This seems to usually have to do with either strong inclination to follow society's expectations, being incapable of properly 'ticking' with people who are too close/too far off in mentality, or being unable to bear what they perceive to be the other gender's "games" (talked with at least two bisexual males who expressed that sentiment with females, but I presume it goes both ways).

... Maybe Christophe needs to find out if he's like that, and for whatever reason deeper connections with girls come way harder for him.

Or ask Dillon for advice. He'll tell him about Oprah talking of being 'on the down low'!

I don't think Dillon is in any condition to deal with another hunky young eighteen year old.

I bet Ruby would disagree.

If your own fantasies have you being a little too ok with something maybe it's time to explore the reasons that you are not in real life.

Well yes, that's rather the point here. But Christophe clearly has a straightforward heterosexual self-image with which he's been comfortable up until now. Asking him to prod around a possibly-bi variation on that is hard work and would inevitably feel rather weird. Can't blame him for flinching.

Christophe should ask Alex out on a date, and that will make Marie jealous. ;))

Ah. Thanks, by 'strip' I didn't mean that individual strip, but the SotR strip as a whole seems to have been changing. I don't frequent the forums so often so didn't notice Eisu had brought up his experimenting. Thanks to those who answered :)

Well at least Christophe is daydreaming in the shower so he has the option of killing it by turning up the cold water or going with it and reaching for the soap.

First Nun: Where's the soap?

So no one is going to mention how he transformed into an Asian guy in the 3rd panel? Am I the only one seeing it?
