    Poor Artie; hopelessly monosexual. At least while he’s human ^_^.

    PS: Ginny’s glasses seem to be on the fritz, only appearing in panel 3.

      Oh yeah that’s right. He has some difficulties telling the gender of other gerbils.

    Artie, didn’t you invent a pill for that?

      I was going to say just that. Artie, just call home and have them send you a couple pills… Also, in case you want to have an antidote ready, just give one to Tip too. In fact, give one to him anyways, just for the laughts.

        I bet Tip would look exactly the same.
        Still want to see that.

      Sexuality can be a large part of someone’s identity, it seems like an awful lot of trouble to go through just to date one woman.

        The pill isn’t to change Artie into a heterosexual; it’s to change Dr. Lee into a man.

    A manly Dr. Lee, This I must see.(also going to order the perfect Narbonic collection some time in march, school is hectic)

    They’d make a great trio. Each would have a sex partner and intellectual companionship, in a kind of round robin.

      tune: “Tea for Two,” Vincent Youmans & Irving Caesar, No, No, Nanette, 1925
      (I know I’ve filked this a few times, but it’s so useful.)

      Picture me, Artie and Lee
      We three, not two, in harmony
      Just me for you, then you for she, then me

      We’d find fulfilling an act with top billing
      For sex acrobatics and Greek-style dramatics
      Two ge-ni-us savants and me: we’d be avant
      Garde, dear

      If we spat, I’ll handle that
      With puppetry for therapy
      You uber-think, but I’m the shrink, you see

      Ethnic’ly, a rainbow, we
      Are pretty as three folk can be
      I foresee a perfect family

    I think Ginny could have ended the conversation the way “Some Like It Hot” did:
    “Nobody’s perfect.”

    (TUNE: “Consequence Free”, Great Big Sea)

    See, it’s not so great, being smart like me and Artie,
    Always on the go, doing everything we can!
    Now we contemplate, in the hot tub as we party,
    And he says, “You know, how I wish you were a man!”

     It’s hard to be
     Perfect, you see!
     Artie and me,
     We understand each other!
     It’s hard to be
     Perfect, you see!
     Lee and he know, and we know that vino rocks!

    All this sex talk. Anyone stopped to consider that he doesn’t mean “why aren’t you a man instead of a woman”, but “why aren’t you a man instead of a gerbil”?

      The trans-species forum gave up on Artie as hopelessly thumbie years ago.

      Because Virginia isn’t a gerbil?

        I think Frank’s implication is that Artie is talking to himself.

    Relationships aren’t hard.

    Over-thinking them is what usually gets in the way; and if there’s one thing that Artie and Ginny excel at, it’s over-thinking things. Tip has turned the art of over-thinking things into his profession… and that’s why he feels inadequate. Here are two amateurs doing it at a level he can barely keep up with; but… he’s STILL the professional here. He has a lot more experience.

    I’m living proof almost any relationship CAN work. Half of a trans-species relationship; I’m an intellectual motor-head tech geek married to a girly-girl artistic music teacher. Many of our friends called it the union of the dragon and the unicorn; enough so that it was the theme of our wedding. Yes, our kids are just as weird as you imagine. But they’re happy.

    What is important… is that at the end of the day, are you willing to put “me” aside for the sake of “us”. Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy? As long as all the players take their turn doing that, it CAN work.

      Thing is, some of us need to overthink. You can have the luxury of not thinking when your instincts tell you “go for it”, but not when they tell you “flee and hide”.

      So you have a horned zebra with fairy wings for kids? Neat.

      Well, she made out with Tigerlily—albeit under the influence of Unity—so maybe she can trade haggotry for faggotry.*

        didn’t she also kiss marcie “by accident”?

    So, Tip seems to be in “active listening” mode and using his shrink training, and Artie and Ginny are in swimsuits and drinking. This might end better than I originally thought.

      Tip’s not listening, he’s ogling semi-naked Artie.
      (Can’t say I blame him!)

      My money’s on it ending with female Tip, male Virginia, and one heckuva “what happened last night?” hangover…
