Oh yeah. I had forgotten about subplot #375. A different rival that will attempt to spy on Sandra through silly infiltration plot #26. How could I forget?

At least cute waiter girl got a dress that costs more than she makes in a year out of it.

You are mistaken, Eva is Zoe's rival. Eloise is Sandra's rival.Jackass Mask wrote:Oh yeah. I had forgotten about subplot #375. A different rival that will attempt to spy on Sandra through silly infiltration plot #26. How could I forget?
And Eva is using Lavali to spy on Zoe.

I'm aware. And to go further, she is trying to spy on Sandra to find out what Zoe is up to in hopes of destroying both. My real chagrin with this comic, and with all the other branching Ma3 comics, is they get mired in endless subplots. So much so that they created more comics, and now those comics are being further drenched in subplots. I really wanna know what Sandra is up to. You know, the person with her name in the title.Re: 2016-02-23 Finer details

More than Lavali got out of her first encounter with Zoe, but then again Zoe really couldn't offer anything in exchange at the time and made up for it later.lordoffiling wrote:At least cute waiter girl got a dress that costs more than she makes in a year out of it.
And some of us like the supporting characters that were created to interact with Sandra. It may have Sandra's name in the title, but it's quickly become an ensemble because there is only so much mileage you can get out of a woman who stumbles into a modeling career largely because of luck and intoxication.Jackass Mask wrote:I'm aware.

Re: 2016-02-23 Finer details
I have to say that the multiple subplots are maybe getting a bit out of hand in SotR, though. And we are seeing a bit of repetition. We've had the bullying Amazon model going "Give me your clothes!"; we've got the vengeful jealous loony and her sidekick pulling an over-complicated spying plot... And now we're getting both of them twice. Big whoop.
We're almost at the end of volume 2 now, and we've had some good individual strips in the last 150, but I sometimes struggle to think what's actually happened in that time. Has the plot moved forward? Or have we just had new iterations of the same gags?

It may seem repetitive, but keep in mind Eva is a rival of Zoe so it's no surprise she'll use her playbook of intimidating women with little confidence to get what she wants. And while I'm not all that interested in the plots concerning Alex and Marie Lavali is my favorite so I'm happy to see how this subplot will unfold.

It may seem repetitive because it is repetitive... And honestly, I'd be fairly happy to watch either of these plots unfold. It's watching both of them, jumping back and forth, both more similar than different, each slowing the other to a crawl, that irritates me. Especially as I bet we'll jump to some other plot before either of them gets anywhere.

Because her regular clothes don't make her look at all like she works in that place?

I recognize everyone's gripes, but personally none or them bother me. Despite it all I just really love this series direction haha
It may have to do with all the queer girls blinding me, but If this comic were a meal I'd eat enough of it to make me sick

She doesn't seem too happy about it though. Probably because the dress doesn't fit her nearly as well as it did its original owner.lordoffiling wrote:At least cute waiter girl got a dress that costs more than she makes in a year out of it.
