      Holy crap indeed. Don’t forget the accidental kiss, Ginny.

          Now just imagine how young you were when the prequel started!

          Now we all feel old.
          Thanks.

        I was at the Arisia convention in Boston a few years back when Shannon was a guest and had a chance to buy the original of that strip. I couldn’t justify the purchase, but I’m kind of wishing that I had bought it.

          Don’t we all have investment regrets. 🙁

          You also did buy it and have not regretted it, especially today.

      I think wallpaper with the mud-wrestling scene would be nice. 🙂

    Now, does Sergio just believe he and Ginny would be close, or does he know they would be close?

    And just how close does he mean? Like he and Mel used to be close, in first grade? Or like Helen and Dave became close?

      Maybe he got a look at one of those alternate universes where she didn’t take the day off – we are still in the Looking Glass Land story arc, and we have no idea what he’s been doing for several years. I expect we’re about to find out.

        Or is this Looking-Glass Sergio trying to fix an argument they had on the other side?

      Probably means he’d have taken over her mind and body by now. That’s pretty darn close.

      Not likely Helen and Dave close – in Lil Mell, Sergio has a boyfriend and describes himself as gay. Then again, we’ve already had one character surprised by attraction outside his usual gender preference in this strip…

        Sergio describes his orientation as being actually bi, but generally dates men.

        Did you forget the canine?

          Do you mean Sweetheart? I don’t think her thing for Unity is outside her usual preference, I think that is her real preference and the guys she’s been with before have just been because she doesn’t want to admit who she really is.

    From “Just My Imagination,” the Temptations.

    When I’m in the office I see Doctor Lee passing by
    I say to myself, “I’m such a happy guy
    She came to work one day, we hit it off, I knew.
    After all the terrors of this place, I can make it through.”
    But it was just my ‘magination, getting the better of me.
    It was just my ‘magination, getting the worst of me.
    (Soon) Soon I escaped, and it was with her aid.
    We went to work for Skin Horse, with a higher base pay grade.
    I tell you I can remember it all.
    It isn’t just a dream,
    But maybe some other scheme.
    But it was just my ‘magination, getting the better of me,
    It was just my ‘magination, getting the worst of me.
    [Paul:] I get down on my knees right here.
    Her desk, covers me.
    I know I do not know her in that other world [Hmm.]
    (Her friendship) comforts me.
    When she comes to help me,
    I hear a complex symphony.
    But in reality, she barely even knows me.
    But it was just my ‘magination, getting the better of me,
    It was just my ‘magination, getting the worst of me.
    Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
    Getting the worst of me,
    Ooh, just my ‘magination, getting the better of me.
    I barely know her but I’m here to show her.
    Ooh, just my ‘magination getting the worst of me.
    We’re in a grind and I’m in a bind.
    Just my ‘magination…

    Normally (and, yes, that is a strange word to use here) I would guess that Sergio has been engaged in some temporal displacement. Given the looking glass title, however, I’m thinking some twisted dimensions of reality… Hmm… is there an unattended portal around here?

      Presumably he’s been looking at the device he’d built in “Choose”: http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-984/

        Which is interesting. Didn’t he call it “an abomination which should never have been built” when he was recruited?

        And now he’s using it to peep.

        (Or he’s a Parallel!Sergio who used it to escape his version of Anasigma. Either way.)

    All shipping aside, am I the only one to be worried that he used the word “quickly”? Anywhere else, that would signal desperation, in Anasigma, that might signal oncoming disaster.

      That is a bit worrisome, isn’t it?
