Pink cloud coming out?

That is a great expression captured there.

(Hoping for a more taken-by-surprise one in the last panel. Will probably be disappointed. Will get over it in time for Tuesday. (Pronouns to follow.))

Coates!  Bleah!!! 

Ah, maybe he won't be home, or he'll be passed out on a cot someplace, or his wife will commandeer the fun all to herself this time.  Coates!!!  Doesn't have quite the same ring as KAAAHN!!  But, I'm working on it.

Or hey, he might actually turn out to be quasi cool.  Odd that I'd warm up to Weston who has an actual dice roll against him faster than Coates.  Neither has been obviously malignant yet.  Hmm.  Must think about this more after some sleep.

But Weston was cool with the dice rolls against him. Would Coates have reacted the same way if he was in a similar situation?

Quality boob work in panel 2.

Coates has said 23 words so far in the comic.

Coates has said 23 words so far in the comic.

Words laden with meaning, apparently.

Sometimes it's what isn't said that matters, I guess.

Sometimes.

First impressions are difficult to shake.

During the tower escapade and before Astrid returned, he seemed like a shallow careless sort of opportunist which would have been very similar to Derek's track.  So, instead of looking for their play as a couple, I was waiting for fate to throw his nose at a door or fist.

And with the Destiny Dice Roll, Weston seemed to have been cast as the enabler of a terrible situation, and all we'd seen of him to that point was him still "in character" as a terrible flirt between scenes at rehearsal.  So the Dice Roll was against him in that it left a bad, possibly false impression.  The Roll was against him in that it cast him in a bad light.

ETA--Can you believe I read this last episode 3 times and GW had to comment on the "boob work" (which IS fantastic) before I even noticed it?  The things you can train yourself not to see.  Sheesh.

Also, is there more than one Mantis head?  Caitlyn had it this weekend and brought it back to practice today...I think.  didn't she bring it with her straight from a game after the SJI Buffy signal went up?  Or was that just after Julian ran over Dani?  How many days ago was that, anyway?

Anyway, I vaguely remember Imani as being close to that size when we saw her during the throes of the belltower sequence, but I'm positive that Hitomi has grown towards Dani and Erin territory while she's been one of Astrid's playthings.  Maybe one of the mystical artifacts Astrid brought home also enlarges breasts and hypes up libido in a different way from PC?

First impressions last, as the manufacturer of a particularly unpleasant deodorant used to point out - perhaps surprisingly.

Pop-up text for g4: "That mantis head has been with the team since the 50s." I get the impression there's only one.

I also don't think any BE is intentional for Hitomi. She was pretty enormous back in 178.
