23/01/10 [DMFA #1082] - The big question

[Zaejue]

It seems Wildy is taking the direct approach with things
this can only mean great doom or great joy
... that or Wildy will find a way to use it against Jy-squeek

[Psy-Kosh]

I didn't quite understand the whole "leg man" vs "leg guy" thing.

ie, why was the former confusing for Abel? What made the latter a correction for the former?

[Janus Whitefurr]

I hope he gives a scathing retort that doesn't answer the question.

[Angel]

..............

....I could kiss that ferret. We're finally, FINALLY getting an answer, and the one who asked is WILDY!

FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! My night just became one of the top 100 best ever.

[bradypodidae]

I didn't quite understand the whole "leg man" vs "leg guy" thing.

I imagine because "man" denotes "human", a mythological creature; it was a slip on Wildy's part who is fascinated by humans.

Since I do not follow the fandoms, I have to ask, has the idea of Wildy and Abel been shipped, yet?

And has Wildy gotten sexier lately?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I hope he gives a scathing retort that doesn't answer the question.

I'd like to second that. ;-]

[Magic]

"Why yes, I'm happy right now."

[Kesh]

I didn't quite understand the whole "leg man" vs "leg guy" thing.

He doesn't consider Dan to be a "man" yet.

I hope he gives a scathing retort that doesn't answer the question.

Actually, I hope he gives a direct, nonchalant answer. Just because that would throw everyone off. 

Edit:
  Let me introduce you to something, Kesh. It's called the Edit Button. Usually labelled either "Edit" or "Modify", you should use it at all times, rather than double-posting. Especially since double-posting is listed in the rules...

Or, he could give a direct, nonchalant answer that is completely false.
That could go either way.  Wildy could tell someone, that person could confront Abel to confirm it, then he could deny it and say Wildy is lying, creating all sorts of fun emotions for an incubus to enjoy, even if only to annoy them.

Yes, many possibilities here.

Then again, even after 400 or so years, maybe Abel doesn't know, or never wanted to know, especially given the way Aniz used his mother, and not wanting to think he would use someone like that.  Lots of potential stuff Abel could be hiding, even from himself.

I don't think Abel is the type to just go around lying to people for his amusement. Although there are many other fun things I'm sure he could do.

[candide]

Oh no she didn't!

Still will be interesting to see the results, though. 

[Psy-Kosh]

I thought about that possibility... But is the phrase "man" reserved for humans in the DMFAverse? And either way, even given that she's fascinated by humans, wouldn't the most common form of various phrases tend to be the type that would most easily come to mind for her?

He doesn't consider Dan to be a "man" yet.

There is that possibility. We know Aary had that attitude. Do we know Abel to do so?

[ChaosMageX]

"Why yes, I'm happy right now."

That would actually be quite funny if he gave a response under that context, but given what Abel's been through, I'd have to say it would be the exact opposite, as his experiences as a bartender haven't been the most pleasant.

Also, I don't really if Abel answers the question or avoids it, as long the next strip is funny.

Besides, it doesn't really matter to me what Abel's sexual orientation is.

Four centuries is a long time to be in school, and one would think that most cubi would get bored and experiment in both directions in that time.  Why limit oneself to just half the school's population?

[Pagan]

I realize that he could just very easily blow her off and not answer the question, or answer falsely, or any other number of ways to keep us guessing. But there's also the chance that Amber will move things along, including the possible Jyrass/Abel relationship. Status Quo is not god around DMFA, and I very much like that fact. So I'm hoping this changes things. And I really hope he's attracted to guys. Jyrass needs something good to come his way.

Plus, the arm things he's wearing ought to answer the question for her. Abel's girlier than Merl or Dan ever was.

Also: Wildy's grown more sexy because she's showing cleavage. Plus, she's at a pretty good ratio of flesh shown to hidden right now.

[KarlOmega1]

Hmmm...I think my jaw dropped when I looked at the comic and saw Wildy's pose in the second frame. Nice.

You forget who we're dealing with. The Queen of Random- and an A student of suspense.

He did say he's like an honest jerk. I expect a "Huh? What?", then Wildy to say something, then Abel to answer or remark "None of your business."

EDIT: Now I'm miffed that Abel's Story is next. I really don't care what happens with Kria and Fa'Lina compared to this.

[Pagan]

I'd also like to comment that I like how her speech bubble is so high up in the panel and then it's her, Abel, and a lot of empty space. Gives it a nice visual metaphor of the situation.

[Nyomi]

I have a feeling Abel will tell the truth if he ends up giving a direct answer.  I'm still suspicious he might be asexual, though, for the lack of interest he's shown in either gender and...

Then again, even after 400 or so years, maybe Abel doesn't know, or never wanted to know, especially given the way Aniz used his mother, and not wanting to think he would use someone like that.  Lots of potential stuff Abel could be hiding, even from himself.

...maybe because of that and the other traumatic things that have happened to him, too.

I'm with you. Wildy has somehow gotten Sexier lately it seems.

[terrycloth]

Wildy's wearing improvised clothing that looks like it could fail and leave her naked at any moment -- it's a ludicrously sexy outfit because of that. I've seen sexy nightgowns with the same back-and-forth one-thin-lace-holding-it-up scheme. It's a classic.

And there's no way Abel's actually going to answer and we're going to see it. Even if it wasn't switching to Abel's story, it'd switch to Alexei and Dan getting home or something. Come on, guys, be sensible here.

[RandomMetaphysics]

Wow. Wildy just went to the point, huh? 
Gotta hand it to her though, she has a lot of moxie. Then again... this is Wildy we're talking about here.

I doubt Abel will answer. Those two aren't what one would really call "friends."

That is it. That is why she is a lot sexier than usual lately. Thank you.

"Why yes, I'm happy right now."

After the day he's had?    No, he's not gay.  



With regards,

PS So Magic. While we're not on the subject... were you Doctor Ink?

I think she went to the point so she could tell Jy-squeek what she did and possibly did this to help Jy-squeek or it;ll skip to the next day where our little nerdy mouse is trying to kill the violent ferret

A lesser aspect of it is that her improvised top shows Absolute Cleavage.  The effect terrycloth is refering to is known as the Theiss Titillation Theory

Just so I can save him the annoyance of answering, check out his signature.   

That question was SO Wildy. Wonder if she's asking 'cause of Jyrras?  She's not blind, even if she's not always there for the fireworks and Megawfulnormous-ness. 

[jeffh4]

Remember Abel's reaction to Hennya going bipedal. . . .and facing the wrong way.

Knocked him clean out of his funk.  I'd have to say asexual is out.  Het or Bi is possible.

[AmigaDragon]

There is that possibility. We know Aary had that attitude. Do we know Abel to do so?

Since they're both (almost) 400 years or older, they both probably consider him (25) little more than a baby.

It wasn't so much the direction she was facing, it was more the revealing pose.

[Les]

What, Abel can't be Bi?

And you're just noticing Wildy San's Hotness (Sexy, Scary-Scary Hotness) now? 

(couldn't find an analog to the 'hot-cha-cha' smiley I was looking for, but did find this.)
