At least it's a grounding. Dillon doled out corporal punishment last time, but I suspect this is going to escalate Friday so who knows.

Amber is cock-blocking Dillon. Or is it pussy-blocking? Is it the blocker's parts doing the blocking or the blockee's parts being blocked?
Well, I'm going to assume the latter because then I can say that she's also eye-blocking Ruby.

Re: 03-03-15 Is saying that too quick
that is a quick way for Amber to find out that for Dillon, Ray is more than a mere friend
Does Ruby know yet that Gary is straight?

Re: 03-03-15 Is saying that too quick
I should have known. Especially since they are in different strips. Just seemed Amber might be good for Gary. Yeah, she definitely wanted to ride the Swirly as much as she could, but she was always worried about if Gary got his fair share. Even when he was with someone else. That makes her one of the better girls Gary's been involved with. But looks like it's not gonna happen...

Re: 03-03-15 Is saying that too quick
Knew she was gonna let it slip. Props to Ruby for taking control of the situation.
We sealed him not out of fear of what he was, but out of fear of what he could do. So much power and knowledge at his disposal...he could destroy all of existence and remake it instantaneously
With his soul and energy torn from his flesh, it took little effort to contain him. We made his prison on to a burning planet, an world unfit for life. Even when the seals are unlocked, no vessel will be there for him to take
A rift in the Cosmos mark his return
Upon his resurrection the Universe will burn

She was worried if Gary got his fair share, but ended up doing roughly the exact same thing Yuki did.Motorcycle wrote:I should have known. Especially since they are in different strips.

Plus, right now, she's not even considering how Gary himself feels.
All that matters is :
- Potential boyfriend.
- Dillon never tried to twat-block her from this potential boyfriend, so Dillon will be happier with her having fun with this potential boyfriend. Whom she knows NOTHING about other than :
- Actor
- Is into her.
Long story short... Amber's not being very bright nor even a very good person here.

Good for you, Ruby. Don't put up with that shit.

No, you got it mixed up. When you cockblock someone, you are "blocking the cock"- from entering the vagina. The inimateable Dane Cooke made an alternate version for the ladies doing it to each other; "Twat Swat".ThePonyGuy wrote:Amber is cock-blocking Dillon. Or is it pussy-blocking?

Well, I kind of called this. It wasn't exactly hard to predict, though. And I think we can now expect this to escalate (or deteriorate) quite quickly.
However, and unfortunately, she's expressing this in terms of Amber's treatment of Dillon, which is a good excuse but may mean that she and Amber never do actually address the real problems between them at this point.
I'm not saying that Ruby will exactly be offering her very good advice next strip, but there'll surely be some interesting demonstrations of the blind leading the blind.
Nah. Better than some, obviously, but basically almost as clueless about human relations as he is, and specifically looking for a guy who is several things (i.e. hunky and macho) that Gary isn't.Motorcycle wrote:Just seemed Amber might be good for Gary.
Personally, I love the way that Ruby goes into parental mode in the last panel. 21 going on 51, that girl. I imagine that she feels at heart that Amber was never subject to proper parenting, so (sigh) she's got to take the job now.Bambikles wrote:Since when Ruby allowed to act like a parent in this appartment ?

Actually, we never do find out here why Amber felt guilty about having boinked Gary. It may have been because Gary seemed to have other prospects and pursuers when last heard of, not least Amber's old schoolfriend.Maechris wrote:Dillon never tried to twat-block her from this potential boyfriend, so Dillon will be happier with her having fun with this potential boyfriend.
She's certainly confused and missing a few cues, as usual. But actually, we're getting a little touch of Amber's sense of vulnerability in panel 2. She seems to be saying that she's never actually had a boyfriend before. (As opposed, obviously, to literally industrial quantities of casual and professional sex.) Which leaves her almost as clueless about the etiquette as Ruby.Maechris wrote:Long story short... Amber's not being very bright nor even a very good person here.

Re: 03-03-15 Is saying that too quick
I love that Amber and Ruby have about the same actual experience with relationships, just coming from different ends of the sexual history spectrum. Maybe they can find some common ground in their inexperience.
After the instant scene plays out, it's time to see more of Andy and Jerzy (he lives right across the hall for goodness sake) and mix this crock pot of awkwardness up even more.

Good to see that someone is at least trying to move on from a relationship that won't work.
