In addition to Sergio actually meeting mirror Artie, Mell has put some effort into getting them together. Not a whole lot of effort, but some. That’s unlikely to come up here though.
O, Gerbil-Boy, the lonesome man is calling,
From UC Berkeley down to Riverside.
At first sight, in love, you are now falling,
And “You! It’s you!” the lonesome man has cried.
So do your act, and morph into that fellow,
Who’s six-foot-four, and hot enough to glow.
You both are here, in Anasigma’s shadow.
O, Gerbil-Boy, O, Gerbil-Boy, he wants you so.
Get his name this time, Sergio.
Wait, so where have they met before? People were talking earlier about how that was the first time they’ve met, but…apparently not?
They have each met the other’s parallel-universe self.
When has our Artie met Mirror Sergio?
Artie’s stochastic skills should have shown him Sergio…though probably not how luscious Sergio is…
About midway through “Looking Glass Land”.
Sixty three strips before I could stop.
A new low!

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Did I miss something?
It’s discussed in this bonus story: http://skin-horse.com/comic/2019-03-24/
Also, Artie was briefly Sergio’s 1st-grade teacher.
Also Mell’s first grade teacher, the same day. Artie knew the risks going in.
We don’t know if that has happened yet in Artie’s timeline. It might still be in his future.
Yes, Sergio! It’s your nameless nemesis who lured you into his reality so he could force feed you to the Great Unity!
For Love.

Nice.
Sweet!
…the words and tune match perfectly.
Not quite. I drop a syllable in Line Three.
The furious crimping effort was not in vain.
Would this still count as a “meet-cute” ?
It will make an interesting story to tell their children someday.
With Asig on their trail it’s more like meet-on-the- Q.T.
