8-24-12 I can't handle it on my own!

So what Iseul is into is being needed? I can see that.

Elizabeth looks...oddly different in this one. Tight deadline on the art? :?

Haha, they go to Oz (Australia) and it's in color... I get it, very cute. Also shades of Pleasentville as she's in black and white but the one who is living life on her own terms is in color. The using Black and White for strips that take place during the time frame of P&A works really well for this strip.

I cannot look at that expression on Elizabeth's face in the last panel without being able to think that she planned that "crisis mode". She wanted Iseul away from her usual surroundings so she could get on with said plan. Elizabeth - you are a manipulative #@^$* and you suck big fat floppy syphilitic donkey dick.

Ok.

Considering what Black & White/colorized stuff has been meaning so far....

Is T. saying that Australia is gay?

It seems that Iseuls boredom may simply be due to lack of caring enough to try. I notice that Iseul even views Sara in black and white. That's not a good sign.

Oh gods....how do I explain this one.

You guys DO realize that the rainbow flag is the symbol of the LGBT Rights movement, right?

NOW...How many of you know that Judy Garland use to be VERY big in the Gay Community?

How many of you have ever seen My Fellow Americans?

And the B&W?...that shows deep depression and/or dysphoria.

I think the B&W is meant to convey that Iseul is bored by her suburban life in Belleville, and Elizabeth represents change and excitement. One question- Elizabeth's novelty value will almost inevitably wear off at some point. What will Iseul do then?

Also, it seems that all Elizabeth needed to do to get Iseul into bed was show her an enormous erection :) Seriously, look at the calculation in those eyes!

Yes, but not exactly what most people would think of as an erection :p

And if THAT gets Iseul excited all I can think is that she really IS lesbian.

Ah, so Iseul is a travelsexual. Take her some place she's never been and BOOM CHICKA WOW WOW.

(OK, so Elizabeth clearly plotted this, but we already knew that Elizabeth was intentionally sleeping with a married woman so that shouldn't be a shock. Also, Elizabeth must have already had VERY good reason to believe her conservative Korean accountant was really a closeted lesbian.)

Hasn't the color been used previously to point out where there's passion and energy? Why are we assuming it's some big gay thing or Oz reference?

Also, yeah, Liz's face in that one panel is calculating and she knows exactly what she's doing.

They're in Sydney. That's ALWAYS a big gay thing. :)
