Also, is it REALLY a good idea to be mentioning the bodysuit when Patrick could pop back in at literally any moment? I know he said that he was going off to get some tacos or something, but what if he forgot his wallet in that sleep deprived state and came back in like 10 seconds and overheard the conversation?
There’s already too many people that know about this and we STILL haven’t told Elaine about it yet. I wonder what her reaction will be. Knowing the type of person she is, she’ll probably be either super stoked that something like that exists, or knock Kevin’s block off for lying to her and hiding his persona from her. In all honesty, I’m betting on both.
Elaine’s gonna be like: Omigosh that’s so freaking cool! (hollow thunk as she smacks Kevin’s empty skull.) And THAT was for lying to me.
Elaine totally knows, can’t remember what early page it was but her talking with Kevin and then Doris immediately apologizing happens way too close together. She also knows his girl name is from a video game, so I’d think she’d be at least somewhat curious.
True. If that’s the case she’s very good at playing dumb. Also, it’s entirely possible for someone to have the same name as a video game character or TV show by either sheer coincidence or just their parents finding it funny or cute to name their kid something from their favorite piece of media.
I’ve always thought that if I ever had kids or adopted ones that didn’t have a name, I’d name them (1M 1F) Max and Monica from one of my favorite PS2 games ‘Dark Cloud 2’, or ‘Dark Chronicle’ (depending on your region.) It’s a dungeon crawler type game with some city builder aspects to it, however the towns either need specific requirements or they have a pre-defined layout that you have to meet, so it’s extremely limited in what you can do. Still a very fun game nonetheless though.
Another convenient feature for the bodysuit. I mean, that’s kinda the essence of the story if you think about it, so I’m not complaining xd Though if Doris spills the beans about the bodysuit while drunk… well, realistically, probably nobody will believe them. But still, they’re walking on thin ice (mostly Angela, but Doris too for being so gullible). In Miranda’s place I’d be mad if Doris ended up talking (I mean, that IS a security breach, what if there happened to be a secret agent around or something?). Also, on another note, I just wanna say I don’t really like Angela. But these hints at humanizing her and seeing things from her perspective, they intrigue me. While I don’t necessarily like everything that has been done with her character so far, she’s probably the one with more room for interesting character development in the future.
I also kinda hated Angela when I first saw her. She was this rude, abrasive, and very ‘no bullshit’ type of person and was very rude and dismissive towards Kevin, probably since they first met. But because he’s friends with Elaine and means something to her, Angela puts up with his BS to some degree so there’s not a possible divide in their friendship due to friction or personal issues.
We’ve all dealt with that one annoying person in the group that either always gets into trouble for stupid shit or is just very childish and awkward at one point in our lives. Angela just has the unfortunate position of being that person since the day she met Kevin. She’s also working for Miranda not just because she knows about the suit, but also because she probably wants to help Kevin in some way. Perhaps she’s wanted to help him for a while but just never knew how to do it until she got roped in with this outlandish and frankly very mind-blowing scenario of a magic bodysuit that changes a persons gender.
She keeps Kevin reigned in and stops him from doing stupid shit on his own so Miranda doesn’t have to keep him on a very short leash the entire time. To be fair, Angela is probably the ONLY person for this job right now. She’s got the ‘no-bullshit’ way of thinking and WILL NOT tolerate Kevin being a dumbass if it will jeopardize him, herself, or her friendship with Elaine. If any one of those things are put in harms way, she’ll step in and stop it from happening or try to fix the problem.
I also think that she kinda always wanted to help him get his life together, but didn’t really know how until she was basically forced to act when she found out about his secret double life, realizing how much shit he could REALLY get into and decided to stick around and work with the project to keep Kevin safe and his stupidity under control. The fact that Kevin had the suit, all but a day or two and already let his real name slip in a half asleep state when Owen came to check on him in the first like, 20 pages, Kevin could’ve either gotten himself kidnapped or killed by this point in the story if he was left to blab about the suit by accident or on purpose with the wrong people listening in. By all logic and reason he’s been ABSURDLY lucky to have survived 700 pages with only one outside party finding out about the suit. The fact he was interacting with the agency from the beginning was just a stroke of dumb luck and ever since he’s been skating on thin ice. If there was no Angela, there would be no Kevin. And I think by having the two paired up for such a long time while Elaine is away at college will only strengthen their relationship further down the line when Kevin learns more about Angela and vice versa.
If the (allegedly) "responsible adult" in this situation AND our favorite doofus BOTH get drunk, this situation is going to go south verrrrrry quickly, neh?
Calling it now, its either going to be TOO strong and put doris to sleep, or its going to be TOO strong and just one drink will get her absolutely hammered drunked
It just happened in the past before the events of the comic. They mention things in the past several times throughout the story but only show a small part of it, like a flashback scene of Elaine and Kevin as kids or Kevin trying on the clothes of a girl that was the daughter of his moms friend in another flashback story.
Well Doris is eager
Oh boy. This can only go so well.

Why do I get the feeling that Doris isn’t gonna get paid, to make up for the booze?

the lab is destroyed so bad people think its over or something
Doris’s fang is really making my day :3
this has bad idea written all over it
Of all people, Angela should know best the dangers of a drunk Kevin/Doris.
If the (allegedly) "responsible adult" in this situation AND our favorite doofus BOTH get drunk, this situation is going to go south verrrrrry quickly, neh?
The pause before the "Huh!" really got me. That would probably be my reaction if I experienced that scenario, too.
Also, my comment in the previous panel was entirely wrong, I guess.
Yeah! PARTY ON!!!
Calling it now, its either going to be TOO strong and put doris to sleep, or its going to be TOO strong and just one drink will get her absolutely hammered drunked
It begins…
"… drunk… b’day party… prom dresses…"
is there a page for that, or did it ‘just happen, some time’?
It just happened in the past before the events of the comic.
