ELLEN NO
Fear not, I haven't forgotten about Nanase. She's going to be part of this mess, too.

If I have a milestone image this week, it'll be rushed to be done on Saturday. I don't want to do that, and I think at least a few of you would tell me not to do that as well.
I do want them to be a regular Saturday occurrence, however, so I'm plotting their return on the 13th. I wish it was a luckier day of the month, but Sat...

Consistently Inconsistent

Epic backstory time.
Rich didn't just enter life with his attitudes.
Maybe some people do, but THAT only happens if they were reincarnated, AND someone messed up the whole "fresh memories" deal, which is not something that typically happens by anymore.
Not since "the incident".

Rhoda, only five feet tall to begin with, had an exaggerated sense of scale of top of it. People who were bigger than her seemed even bigger than they actually were to her, and it could occasionally make her feel anxious.
So when she found herself in line behind Conan, an unusually muscular man who was nearly six and a half feet tall, she felt about three feet tall.
Behind her was Diane and Lucy. She could politely ask to switch places with them, but that would be embarrassing, an...

History.
This way of looking at things is debatable, and Ellen herself is inconsistent about it.
Which I consider realistic. I don't think a person would be in Ellen's shoes and not be inconsistent about how much ownership they feel over some of their memories. I think their feelings about the same memories could change based on mood, why it's been brought ...

Ancient Canon.
This actually references EXTREMELY early EGS.
How early? Things I drew in high school before the comic officially began. So early that it predates the comic as we know it.
Nonetheless, I've always considered it a bit of canon lurking in the shadows that Elliot, Tedd, and Sarah played some tabletop roleplaying games together, an...

Card games are COMPLICATED.
This is changed significantly from how I first imagined it.
As originally imagined, Rich would react to Ellen saying card games are too complicated by thinking for a moment, then saying "I prefer Velma to Daphne" to himself. This would confuse Ellen and Larry, each of them failing to pick up on the context.
This would have ...

George had underestimated the slimming effects of the magic tea. Assuming their clothes would be suited well enough to both before and after, George had gotten the "leave clothes unchanged" style of magic tea.

It's difficult to tell what was truly popular in a recent survey just based on "likes" (especially with later suggestions), so I selected several for this poll that I thought would have a chance of being chosen to help me narrow down end of month poll options.
There'll be more polls like this in future months, and there'll be polls that exclusively have masculine-only pairings in the future. I didn't think they'd have much o...

A new challenger who was standing right there.
I didn't want Ellen to immediately assume anything about Rich beyond standard "dealing with some guy I don't know" caution.
Given Ellen's other friends and acquaintances, someone dramatically saying "CARD GAMES", and talking enthusiastically about something they like, isn't a red flag at all, or even strange.<...
Last month, I did a poll about things people might want to see in end of month polls, and non-canon pairings were a very popular option.
To clarify, "non-canon pairings" would be characters who are not dating in canon, but presumably would be acting like they were in a milestone image with them as a non-canon pairing.
With that out of the way, what non-canon couples are you interested in?
Please look at other people's replies to see if your suggestion has been mentione...

Why not this?
Justin swings, and a miss.
Not that I think he seriously thought Ellen would (or could) buy it.
How?!
What lurks in the mind of Rich?
When I think of a "tomboy", my brain goes to sports, and stereotypically masculine activities. I GUESS that last panel counts, but Rich and I are not on the same page here.
Granted, we share very few pages.
Worth noting is that Larry did not say he was thinking of anyone as dudes. He said he "might as well b...

In every pack of cards in the Collectible Card Game Rich and Larry played, there were bonus cards. These could be tokens for use in play, collectible art cards, shiny foil versions of cards, etc.
One day, Rich got a bonus card that seemed to sparkle. Aside from that, it looked like a standard game card, and the art was of a particularly curvy woman taking interest in a scholar.
The text simply said “hold and turn sideways to turn people into curvy women. Usable once per day.”<...

Nanase cursed the word choices of others.
Wanting to make sure her fairy doll spell still worked as expected, and in foul enough a mood to lack the patience to check her spell book, Nanase stood by her bed, closed her eyes, and cast the spell.
Even with her eyes shut, Nanase could tell she was being bathed in light. Had her eyes been open, she would have seen that it was her clothes that were glowing.
