I needed to unlurk for this post just to say that this is perhaps my favorite comic page I've yet seen from any comic in this community. It has it all: tasteful nudity, conflict, comparisons of lesbian sex to masturbation AND rpg grinding and even tasteful nudity.

This is a thing of beauty. Be proud.

Two comics taking it to the "next level" at the same time, eh? Was this planned?

Marie, as a fellow gamer, I admire your determination and absolutely love your attitude, but this is not how it works.
This is not how any of this works.
More often than not people fail to see the entirety of the issue, and focus on a single facet of it.

I did wonder about the symmetries between Marie and Ruby (two smart young women refusing to solve a problem with their sex lives the simple way because of embarrassment and over-thinking) myself, but somebody pointed out that the SotR strips were supposed to appear over a month ago, so this probably isn't deliberate.

I'd still like to see the two of them asking for advice and comparing notes online, though.

Still, the kid gets bonus points for trying, and for applying the tools she's got to the problem in hand. Though I suppose that when all you've got is a plumber, everything looks like a mushroom.

My exact, spoken response to panel 3: "Well. ...Okay."

It's too bad that before reaching that secret dungeon and grinding the final boss, she'll have to leave town and fight some goblin brigands first that appear within 5 feet of the gate.

Also, does Ingrid have a PvP arena?

If I found Bowser lurking around in the dungeon I might want to alert my partner to see a physician. Still she's working with what she knows.

Agreed. This seems extremely unlikely to end well...

I'd be more worried about funghi! :P

I bet they don't give a 1UP.

Marie, turn off the hot water. Now.

Seriously, the situation is getting very absurd very quickly... YMMV, but for me it's heading deep into cringe comedy territory. (Not that I don't enjoy that ride...)

I think that phase is called "experimenting in college".
Don't give me any ideas about a "PvP arena", I'm not nearly drunk enough to put that to paper, err, keyboard.

I predict that Ingrid will have stolen all of Marie's stuff while she was in the shower.

These last two comics just reminded me of Neil Patrick Harris when he told about how he realized he was gay, only of course, this is a bit reversed. :p
