Did ya see the size of those Rei and Asuka figures, though? They're like the size of a human torso!


Or I'm just really bad at showing foreshortening with nubby characters...... or BOTH!?

Scenario 2:
It's 9pm. Keven is still sat at his reserved table for 2 dumbstruck as Megan, cosplaying Ryouko from Tenchi Muyo, has ate like a pig, and is still drinking like a fish, up to his credit limit, whilst everyone is looking at them in total disgust.


Scenario 3: Similar to Scenario 2 but Megan cosplays as Lina from The Slayers, doesn't drink, but gets upset and dragon slaves the entire eating establishment when the bill comes.

Edit: Added something else to the scenario.

So that's what's kept missing in the group all this time; a die hard cosplayer who only wears her inner persona like a piece of accessory. I can get use to this. Wink

Speaking of witch, whatever happens to the guru? Now that Kevin suddenly grew himself a spine, he should have a mentor, if you know what I mean. Wink

I can't help but feel skeptical since hooking up at cons is usually a bad idea. Period.

But then I met my One True Love(TM) at a local anime club, so who knows.

The joke is that I have the real life Rei figgure that this was based on (A mermaid Rei, if you must know) and it sits unboxed (because I'm a "moron") next to a bunch of capsule figgures, a Bart Bust that was once a penny bank (but not now because the back is missing) and a bubble bath bottle shaped like a Darlek.

Agree, but, if she's 20 years younger than you, she can still be your daughter Mr. Green

anyone else think it coincidence that it is comic 69 that Kevin finally gets a date??

(booo, hisss, bad joke, bad joke!)

Seriously though, I do hope things don't come crashing down. She looks like a keeper.

Wow, it's nice to see things finally starting to look up for Kevin. If HE can score, maybe I have hope too!!

...although, there's still plenty of time for some horrifying surprise to rear its ugly head. (Maybe she's secretly a psychopath, Higurashi-style?? Or maybe she has some Seinfeld-esque annoying personality quirk?

(The knock at ridiculous Evangelion merchandise is a nice bonus, too.)

"if this is going to go like in anime romantic storyline, the girl will be a ghost, dying from a disease, or have a real temper and beat the snot out of Kevin next week...."

This? I would like to see...

as for Ryoko and scenario #2... you have to remember that Ryoko, for her more curious traits, likes Tenchi.

It would be amusing for Kev to stumble into an utterly normal person who can isn't a walking anime cliche, but where's the fun in that? I'm voting for Kev to have a mind altering experience with the catfox from last week and her girlfriend Megan...

Kev wakes up monday morning strapped to a bed and found by the Hotel cleaning lady, who just doesn't want to know...

In any case, I'm hoping that fate or luck or kharma, or erm... whatever doesn't do too much damage... he deserves the win, once in a while. Even if the whole things is just a dream. Twisted Evil

Honestly, I really do hope that Megan turns out to be normal, or as normal as any average fan is. I'd be fine with a Tsundere or normal personality, but not overly cute. I can barely tolerate moe (watching Lucky Star made me realize not all moe is horriable, just most of it), but we'll see.

Robin has yet to make a comic I didn't really enjoy so I am sure next's week comic will be great.
