First reply to a strip-discussion thread. Not the first one either. (WOOT)

Meanwhile... nothing at all? Really? Not one little thing? Gee Marie, that's too bad. I'm surprised you discovered that just 15 minutes in.You sure you're not just jumping to conclusions?

Well that's what lead to this date in the first place, but I agree she shouldn't give up so easily. Most people's family history is dull.

But most people know that well enough not to dump it on the other party in the first fifteen minutes of a date. Anyway, I suspect that Marie is just a well-adjusted enough geek that her geekdar is drawing an indicative blank just now.

Meanwhile, Eisu has turned into a catching-up machine, and Dave has provided an explanation for the crossed-out Os.

I think there's implication that Ingrid really talked *a lot* in these 15 minutes...

But, yeah, their interests are completely different, which doesn't neccessarily mean they wouldn't match up in practice. The far bigger problem is the fact that Marie just wants to be lesbian to be chic and cool and be BFFs with Sandra, who's... not even a lesbian.

Yay.

No, no, she's Scandinavian. So she can also ski, recite epic poetry from memory, and sing very strange songs in an ethereal voice with a straight face.

Oh, and the date in this thread title is wrong.

Whoot! Love all these updates! Surprised by Marie not thinking they have anything in common. I would have guessed the date was going to go the other way and she'd be fascinated by Ingrid. :o Surprises are always good!

Marie is quintessential games geek. This strip is about her not having much in common with a non-geek. I'm sure that Ingrid is a perfectly nice (non-geeky) young woman, but if you're not into the same things as her or attracted by her blonde cuteness, there's nothing especially fascinating there.

Well, Marie, even lesbians have to have something in common with each other...

Ok but based on Marie's we have nothing in common line, am I the only one who can see this going towards Ingrid is actually super into games as well but thinks Marie isn't based on several things the past few pages, including choosing a romantic cafe for their date/lunch whatever, and thinks Marie won't like her if she knew.

It's just too obvious after a comic ending on Marie being sure they have nothing in common. To me anyway. That kind of ending usually leads towards you actually do. lol

I see Ingrid's a little too used to letting her looks win her the continued desire of her dates.

So, odds that one or more members of her family have crossed Zoe or Dominico in the past? I mean, the industries Sandra and the rest deal with makes 'model' more plot relevant than simply 'hot'.
