[25 Mar 11] Let me get you out of those clothes

[darklion]

BTW... Jason, the facial expressions in tonight's strip are spot-on and delicious. Take a bow. ♥

Seconded. I love Aggie's expression in the last panel. Is she reacting moistly?

[cajeck]

"SETTLED!"

Ah, I love this. Penny being the "aggressor" is turning out quite interesting, but not unexpected. Aggie's always been quite shy when it came to love.

Also, pizza dough hair makes a comeback.

Panel 2 seems to show Penny wearing a miniskirt?

You had to say it didn't you....

Damnit, now its distracting me!

In the previous thread there was a discussion over whether Penny knew about the issues Aggie was having with their potential relationship. I think this comic answers that question quite decidedly; Penny would not attempt to push a new wardrobe on Aggie right now if she knew.

Wouldn't she? Penny seems to enjoy freaking Aggie out.

[adamiani]

XD Poor Aggie.
But yeah, this can't be helping her feel better, considering she already thinks Penny brainwashes her objects of affection.

I actually like the idea that Penny seems to relish making her uncomfortable. I think that's the real point of this one.

You know who else relished making people uncomfortable?

Hitler!

That's because a freaked-out Aggie is cute. Penny does seem to enjoy it when Aggie is on edge, be her angry, sad, embarrassed, passionate, etc.

[Falaris]

Deeelish.

I could see this working out for the good, really.

The clothes would make a good metaphor for Aggie's fears of Penny "re-dressing her". If Penny turns out to be more inclined to help Aggie be brave in making choices she wouldn't normally make, but leaves the choice to Aggie (and shows true appreciation for the result) it could help alleviate Aggie's fears of being made over.

She wants the relationship to have at least a chance to work.

She's not going to knowingly push the one button that could send Aggie running, and quite possibly ruin the relationship they have, on top of preventing the one she wants.

I guess I'm the only one not really digging this scene? Making increasingly transparent innuendos and teasing Aggie about something she's clearly still uncomfortable and anxious about doesn't really strike me as the "cute" kind of mean.

[showler]

The way the scene was cut, the first time Aggie kinda blushed and looked away a bit and Penny smiled at that, but the second time Aggie looked a little upset and we haven't seen Penny's reaction to that yet. She may be testing how far she can tease Aggie and will back off if she sees she's gone too far.

Well, I think it's cute, but it doesn't exactly bode well for them as a couple.

[JackFairy]

I just feel like we missed a page.

I also don't GET Penny's insistence on this immediate wardrobe change. I agree she'd probably want Aggie to stay true to her style but just class it up a little (heck, most people I know actually involved in fashion dress more like Aggie and Lisa than Penny, and I figure Penny knows you can be "alty" and fashion-forward at the same time), but why... now? With Rich, it took a while, and it was when she was trying to get him more into her world. But she and Aggie aren't even a couple yet, and she's been shown to have more-or-less accepted Aggie's wardrobe (even if she would make cracks about it sometimes). This seems OOC.

[maritza]

Hahaha it's just that Aggie has no idea what to do with herself on a romantically charged situation.

For God's sake, she thought it was OKAY to finish her pretend-date with Darren with a... what, going for a JOG??? Geez.
