19: All the right questions, and then some!
Nov09
Apologies for the delay on this page, folks. Carlos had to finish a major project that is helping pay for his upcoming trip, but that work sortof fried his computer, and it had to take a rest for a while in order to stop freezing up. Everything’s back up and running now, though.
Note: Next week’s page will go up on Thursday, Nov 15th.
So much for getting past JJ idea that the matter going to go away. Saachi is coming right to the point. She remember Jeanie, little Jeanie, Red and she repeating Holly dreams and men in black. Now we have a spaced out Holly and Melvin too. Good going Saachi at this rate neither Holly or Melvin are going to get together. Everything that Melvin doesn’t want to talk about she bringing up to make conversation. About the only thing that hasn’t been brought up is Clamor and the cat Genie Kazom and I am sure that the rest of that stuff going to come into this mix pretty soon too.
Saachi is definitely nothing bashful about her and she even kind of forward too about how she acts.
Boy, does everyone but Saachi look shellshocked. I suspect she was not at all quiet during this.
I’m not getting the whole “motor mouth” vibe from Saachi this time though. I think the punctuation between sentences might be why.
Ah crap, are we being too grammatically correct for our own good? lol
Just can’t win, can you?
EDIT: Just noticed on this re-read, but Saachi has to stop herself from calling Tiffany “hot”. Still mostly in the closet? I mean, are Holly and the Melvinauts (worst. band name. EVER.) the only ones we’ve seen that know she’s gay?
@He Who Abides:
I think that’s just Saachi’s (tiny) attempt to not be too pantingly obvious.
Lies just lead to more lies
Yeah … soon it would be easier to just explain everything (or at least SOMETHING) than trying to lie about it.
Actually best at this point just to be quiet and say nothing… it’s not like anyone can force Melvin to talk, and eventually people will get tired of asking, if he doesn’t respond.
I will go one step further than that and tell Saachi to shut up if I was Melvin since she the one that bring up the subject all the time. He Who Abides is right about Saachi being a motor mouth. It bad enough when she keep off at the mouth about just about anything and everything and when she starts motor mouthing about personal and private things you don’t want known. I personally hate being around people like that. Or maybe Melvin can have BJ his friend to talk to Saachi one on one to tell her to shut up about things like that and that it causing all kinds of problem, but, without explaining why causing problems. Maybe even tell Saachi that we will disassociate with her and Holly if she doesn’t stop pressing the those issues.
Is it just me, or has all the blood drained from Melvin’s face in that last panel. Looks very much like he is thinking “Aww shucks, I’ve been rumbled.”
I just have to wonder if Holly is calm enough to speak without getting tongue tied. It would be just like Saachi to ask for her opinion next week.
Oh, and I love how Saachi keeps dropping the fact that she wants Tiffany in conversation. Keep it up Carlos.
P.S. The next button didn’t work again, might have something to do with my browser though.
… that next button is probably some wordpress cache plugin.
You mean the Next button on the previous page? HKMaly’s right, that’s because each page gets cached as a whole when it gets saved, so unless the cache expires, it’ll keep thinking there isn’t a next page.
The best way around that is to always check the main homepage of the site, since it’ll have the newest page in every case. I *think* leaving a command on a page that has a broken Next button might clear the cache.
“has all the blood drained from Melvin’s face in that last panel.”
Looks that way in the last two panels, so I would say – yes 🙂
Oh, my God… someone staple Saachi’s mouth shut, please.
I really feel for Holly in panel 3. Although by panel 6, she’s got company; Melvin looks equally mortified.
The only free agent that might be able to shut Saachi up would be BJ is he would do it or if he has the ball to do it.
I think the only thing that can work here is a demonstration of magic, because an explanation will NOT work.
That being Said my bet on what ACTUALLY happens is that BJ’s little sister is the one to spill the beans in a way as motormouthed as Sachi.
Neither magic nor using JJ is a good idea. BJ is really the only logic or reasonable candidate for dealing with this problem of motor mought Saachi. The only other choice is for everything blow up and cause a terrible mess and go everywhere creating a terrible disaster for just about everybody involved in this mess.
The reason you don’t want JJ telling Saachi to shut up, is because JJ is a blabber mouth and will tell everything she knows to Saachi trying to act cool about what she knows. That would be worse than not saying anything at all about the matter.
I was NOT saying JJ would fix things. I was expecting the opposite in fact.
In fact the very reasons you mention for it being a bad idea are what I expect WILL happen.
Never hard to wait for quality. Beach photo shoot–I missed it!!!!!
I know!! I hope we get to see it at some point.
I think Carlos is going to be holding votes on what sort of “extras” he should produce during his trip, though… 🙂
Some people really know how to dominate a conversation.
It’s not a conversation if only one person is talking . . .
Melvin with that expression makes him look like Charlie Brown with hair.
Wow, does anyone even remember Red the boy anymore? Now, it is just Saachi asking about Tiff, and the blonde.
I think ol’ Clarence kind of tended to specialize in being unobtrusive. Probably a habit he learned early on. After all, his parents barely even seemed to be aware that he existed.
Saachi, your right hand in panel three is getting really close to something that belongs to Holly. Watch it girl.
Only Jeanie can change Tiffani back. And we know how that will turn out. Still, a crossover would be interesting.
I have a feeling that by the time Jeannie eventually shows up again, Red’s life may have improved to the point that she no longer wants to go back to being a nobody, even if it means staying female.
Which naturally means Jean would not take “No” for an answer.
Actually, Red parent pretty much ignored him, because he didn’t measure up to what they wanted until he because a she and then they say some personal benefit or self edification in him instead of just seeing him as person and there son. Which no doubt caused self consciousness on Red part to stay undercover most of the time except with friend like Melvin and Bj.
As far as choosing to stay Tiffany, she would have to see herself as being girl and not a boy. I some times read what different Trannies say about transitioning some seen to like it and they never look back and other transition back because, they didn’t like it. We still don’t know which one the Red will choose to be if and when that opportunity arises. Question is, What it Red identity, is it a him or a her in his or her mind. It can go either way at this point.
Subtlety is not one of her strengths.
I’m wondering if Saachi means “she who opens barrels of worms” in some obscure Indian dialect because she sure has dumped one on Holly and Melvin—each!
