Re: 16-05-18 Why would I even think that
I'm now thinking there's going to be an interruption of some kind and the Gary/Zii situation will be in limbo until the very end of the comic. I'm still wondering how the writers are going to shoehorn the wrap-up arc for SDB into Ma3 and still have it make sense.

They don’t allow fan service any more, at least not without editing/censoring *sniff*. And it could be that as someone else pointed out, these two are actually going to talk about important stuff before diving into bed headfirst - I know Gary is in no hurry and wants to do it right, no matter what happens between him and a partner. He’s tired of casual, meaningless sex (I know, that’s why lot’s of people started reading this webcomic, myelf included, but somehow I got into the story and the characters, so riding it out).TheFoolishOne wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 10:30 amOMG, Talking, Character Development, Dramatic Moments, where is my comic with nude bodies ?

Yes, Zii. You are uncomfortable. Uncomfortable with being forced to acknowledge the awkward truth.

Suck it up, Ms. Nielsen, and stay right where you are.

I'm not sure that it'll be integrated with the main Ma3 storyline, though it'd be far cooler if it was. I suspect that we'll get a few days/weeks of, effectively, pure SDB strips with a banner at the top saying "Special Crossover" or suchlike.
If that.
The irony being that what we get is, increasingly obviously, blatant fanservice with barely enough censor steam/suds/tactically positioned elbows to excuse not drawing nipples in -- so Giz can spend ten minutes drawing little concentric circles onto the same art for the print volume.corwinargentus wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 4:18 pmThey don’t allow fan service any more, at least not without editing/censoring *sniff*.
Full credit -- after years of a comic in which characters had casual, meaningless sex and cheerfully enjoyed it, we now have a solid reason why a character might take against the idea. Previously, sure, characters were using each other as objects, but it was mutually pleasurable, so nobody had cause to object. Gary, though, knows very loud and clear that he's being used, because it's for his one party trick, and that's got to be a bit wearing, even if he is sometime repaid with orgasms of his own. His night with DiDi was kind of the epitome of this.corwinargentus wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 4:18 pmI know Gary is in no hurry and wants to do it right, no matter what happens between him and a partner.

Which suggests that, if he ends up in bed with Zii, it might be best if she could refrain from asking to try the fabled swirly for a little while, and he could politely not offer. No harm in them giving each other the best physical experience, but it shouldn't seem like it's all they're after.

Re: 16-05-18 Why would I even think that
This is exactly what I expect to happen -- Gary starts to walk away, saying he should just leave her alone before making things worse, and Zii starts to reach out to stop him but doesn't -- either because she can't bring herself to do it, or because whatever interruption is impending arrives. This leaves Gary to continue thinking that Zii is unattainable, at least for a couple dozen more strips.worldshaking00 wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 3:00 pm...Gary could take it as truly her discomfort at being on his romance radar.

Re: 16-05-18 Why would I even think that
It would be great that tomorrow's strip has this plot: Someone walks in Gary's apartment and founds Zii pegging Gary...
Why tomorrow? because tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of Ma3's very first strip, and it would be an amazing homage...
But probably it won't happen...

Panel 1: Gary steps out of the shower, toweling off, looking at Dillon in bed. "I just had the strangest dream," says Gary.
Panel 2: Matt walks out of the shower, toweling off as well. "Yeah, me too... what's a Kiley?"
Panel 3: Dillon smirks. "Let's go break another drafting table, guys!"
End scene!
Kidding aside, I trust Dave and Giz to do right by the characters.

Dillon walks in and sees Gary banging Zii in the exact position that Gary caught Matt and Dillon, therefore making the comic come full circle.

Dillon to place
Senna to show

That would be cool, but I think Zii is more curious if the swirly-go-round lives up to the hype. And while she certainly has a lot of experience I don't know if she's all that proficient in the use of a strap on or has one. I'm not sure what the etiquette is in borrowing one from Peggy, but I think she'd have to be there to agree.rogermart wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 8:15 pmIt would be great that tomorrow's strip has this plot: Someone walks in Gary's apartment and founds Zii pegging Gary...

Will it be Didi returning home suddenly? Dillon appearing from the aether to remind us he exists? An asteroid hitting the planet?
Put your money down. I'm giving long odds that they actually get to fuck.
