So, let’s drag our tired little butts over and vote!

She is so cute ! I know he likes the other girl so if gab asked him out I can see the inner turmoil. Maybe this will be a harem comic?? Now we just need red to start hitting on him:-) then four more girls
Oh, man, a cliff hangar.
I suppose if their women weren’t bold, these guys wouldn’t breed at all…
Breed, maybe. Dance, definitely not.
Melvin does seem the type to have two left feet. Check his shoes.
He did take a hot genie to a dance before.
Or the genie took him.
So, I guess the hug wasn’t casual.
Melvin: “If someone asks you if you’re a god, say yes.”
Also, if a girl asks you out, say “Sounds good.” Same principle.
===
Now, as you lie awake at night, remembering what it felt like to have a girl press her, uh, chest against yours, also try to remember if you were having any thoughts while listening to the Saachi report about how nice it would be if she liked you. You need to be very careful about that sort of thing.
Hmm, even if Melvin’s power includes mind-influencing stuff, I don’t think that it would be this subtle until he has had practice with it–if he were compelling her to act as though she liked him then she would be much more blatant about it.
So now we have to figure out if Melvin actually did something to cause Saachi interest in him or if Saachi actually interested in Melvin or if she is actually acting on Holly behalf to get Melvin to take Holly out to the year end dance. Or it could be the first time that Saachi had to mention it to some guy that she want to be escorted to the dance with someone no other intention evolved or purpose and she could still be interested I BJ too. Because, sometimes girls will do things to aggravate the one there there actually interested in. I have had girls throw books at me or yell my name and then take off running. You know attention getters to call attention to the guy there interested in. Because, Saachi probably knows that Melvin interested in Holly, especially the way Melvin acts around her.
Melvin will be more careful when practicing magic from here on out. You got to keep a clear picture of what you want to do with the magic before releasing it. Built up magical energy may find a way to escape by reacting to your wants or wishes instead of your will.
I didn’t sense any magic, Melvin was trying to relax after all that he heard from Saachi, when she dropped the dance bomb on him.
I was referring to the incident with Holly, but this could be an after effect.
in Melvin’s defense, he’s still trying to unlock his inner magic when that happened.
And I’m raising the question of how deliberate Melvin’s will has to be to invoke the magic. He’s spent the last couple of minutes listening to a cute girl deliver an engaging and (to a male) amusing performance. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he feels attracted to her, and thinks something along the lines of “I’d like to spend some more time with her.”
Seriously, is a girl, going to ask him to the dance, now I know its fantasy.
Some times a girl does ask a guy to a dance, but, it doesn’t happen very often. But, she didn’t officially asked him to take her to the dance. But, she did remind him that the dance was coming up and that she would like to be escorted to that dance. She definitely made it known to him, that she would go with him, if he were to ask her to go with him to that dance.
That to me sounds like a rather American statement, even though I’m sure that it’s not only here that these somewhat archaic gender roles are still prevalent. In Sweden, where I grew up, it’d be perfectly normal for a girl to ask a boy to the prom; it would also be entirely fine to have a woman propose to a man rather than the other way around for example.
Gosh, Melvin, if you’re going to smoke, don’t hold it in for that long.
===
I’m keeping in mind that we don’t yet know that Saatchi is about to ask Melvin out on her own behalf; she may be trying to set him up with someone else, like, say, her friend Holly, who, being something of a nerd herself, probably hasn’t been asked out yet.
The thought that Saachi might be trying to encourage Melvin to ask Holly to the dance had occurred to me, but it seems just as likely that she’s angling to get him to invite herself. I’d call it a coin toss at this point with what we’ve seen and heard. I think Saachi likes Melvin, I’m just not sure how much as yet and if this will turn into some drama between Holly and Saachi.
So does this make Melvin the strip Casanova?
This is going to crush BJ’s sense of entitlement.
Nah, BJ is too clueless and sure of himself (once Melvin’s spell wears off) to see Melvin as a threat. He’s a typical young teen boy, absolutely certain of his superiority.
Anyone know when the next update will be?
When Bach-Mann feels better, probably.
You know, its been over two weeks since this last scene, and over a week since there has been any info about what’s going on here. Even if they next update is delayed good taste says that someone here should at least acknowledge that they are sorry for the delay. At “Sailor Sun” and “I Dream of a Genie Bottle” CD Rudd always keeps us posted if there is going to be a delay.
I keep checking in every day on this comic also. I’m about to remove it from my bookmarks and forget about it for a month or two. I love the art work in this comic. I just wish it was based more on red then Melvin. But if he start changing people’s genders I’d be down to pay if updates came on a normal schedule.
Oh, seventeen days isn’t long in the World of Internet Comics…takes several months before I move something down to my “go through every two weeks” section of bookmarks. Besides, we already know they weren’t feeling well…and ’tis the season, too.
Yup this comic is going on the dead comic pile.
Yup this comic is going on the dead comic pile. I am removing the book mark to.
Good grief, you folks are impatient.
Megatokyo just woke up again after nearly a year’s hiatus with two comics in one week. Remains to be seen if Fred can maintain a once-a-week schedule at least, but the art alone is worth it.
Thunt’s Goblins might be reviving as well, although he too petered out after a few updates–but he’s still posting regular “Live drawing” updates, so there’s hope.
Handy hint to web comic artists: don’t have a kid, ongoing health problems, or get depressed.
Handy hint to web comic viewers: RSS feed. If my link doesn’t work, CD’s link is in the upper right corner of the comic panel, in the “Archives…About Us” header. Yes, you need a viewer, but that’s how I realized MT was back up.
(One problem with Fred at MT was that he refused to provide a way for readers to give him money, other than buying stuff from his store, on the excuse that he was “not a professional artist”. Maybe if he had a bit more faith in himself, he would have used that income as a goad.
(CD, speaking of donations, Patreon is a problem for me, because I cannot simply donate whenever I have the spare change–the money is extracted on the first of the month, but I get paid on a particular day of the week, and the two often don’t coincide. Booo!)
(Oops, credited CD for Melvin instead of BACH-mann. Sorry.)
It’s coming……………
dun-DUN-dun-DUN-dun-DUN
“We’re gonna need a bigger wand.”

I take it that means you’re all feeling better; excellent new on its own.
Plus the comic.

While there’s reason to think Saatchi’s about to ask on someone else’s behalf, I’ve decided she’s going to ask on her own behalf.
She’s awfully close in that last panel; I’d swear she’s holding Melvin’s hands.
I can’t remember–do we have reason to think that Holly would ask Saatchi to be the go-between?
With patience comes a reward. I’ll definitely look forward to the next page :D. I wouldn’t want miss this comic for the world.
Thank you, we appreciate it. 🙂
You know what would be a really cruel thing to do? Draw the comic after the follow up to this one, and then make us wait even longer for Saachi’s question in full… or just draw it out into another five page long talk. Either way, I’m sure I, as well as everyone else, would be both annoyed and completely at your mercy, oh great one.
OH THE POWER!!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHA! I mean, important safety tip. Thanks, Egon. 😉
