02-08-10 Not it!

[brnleague99]

I have to agree with the "Not It" Girls. And with Ekito, who obviously won't stay OUTTA MUH HEAD! Just because the orb turns you into a boy, that doesn't guarantee handsomeness...or even that Layla will give a damn about you.

I agree with that magnificent bastard...whose name I currently forget...who said that the orb should have made Layla attracted to women so she could be seduced that way.

Just saying.

She'd better make sure there are fresh batteries in that thing...

Actually, that might not be entirely true. From a scientific standpoint, beauty CAN be measured. It's called the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio, and it has a value of 1.618 applicable to both men and women. So if a person with optimal golden ratios throughout their body goes through the gender bender process, then the likelihood they'll be just as mathematically beautiful in the other gender should be extremely high.

Science and magic. Can you tell the difference?

Did Hellrune managed to turn the cat back?
Come to think of it, the device may as well turn them into male cats...

[Zorlond]

What I'm mostly curious about is whether or not the obvious, physical change comes with more subtle, invisible changes. There's a lot of instincts and mental processes that are different between genders, not to mention learned behaviors...

Whoever ends up 'it' could become pretty messed up...

[shadewalker]

I wanna try

[BobDole]

Man, a little gender-bending sends them into that kind of terror?

(Oh, and for anyone who didn't get the reference, Tiresias.)

I wonder if this means that once you're changed you're stuck for seven years.

[Miss Vavavavoom]

Why does this remind me of Negima?

Dude, so the wrong connotation for the setting. And serves as a double entendre...

Anyways, I can't help but notice that our artists went and made a joke that no one else has brought up. The minions are holding each other in embraces that is usually used as intimate contact. I.E. two females "embracing" each other, only out of the sexual context due to the fear in both of their faces.

[RoninAngel]

Hrm. It's not going to be Cerise. Ronin is sad.

But I still think this story arch will be fun and interesting.

Also, am I the only one who is pretty turned on to see her and Jacqui "comforting" each other?

[TakerFoxx]

I can just see the genderbender fans and the yuri fans going all West Side Story over this strip.

"The Yuris will have there way...tonight!"

[Pinekone]

Yeah plus if they turn into dudes they are gonna be stuck in girls uniforms right?

[Kamino Neko]

Oh, that'd be hilarious. (Although if that IS how the orb works, I suspect they'll work out how to get around it by the time the arc's over.)

And it's not yuri - any actual love will be m/f since the Hellrune Gang don't like Layla, and Layla will not be falling for them as girls, if she does fall for them at all.

It looks like Queen Bee Melissa will have to undergo the genhttp://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/posting.ph ... t=1349#der bending. The other witches can help by fawning on the new Melvin, drawing Layla's attention. I can't wait for the dance!

[Don Alexander]

I'm slightly beginning to wonder how many yuri/yoi/gender-bending hyjinxes can be done within the PG-13 range of the comic...

@BlairFan: Might be hard to do, so far (in strong contrast to Ma3) at least the 16-year old group seems pretty heteronormative... So Cerise and Jaqui would have to flirt with "Melvin" (great idea! ) even though they know it's actually their boss-lady... Which could perturb them.
