1749 A Land Down Under.
I have found that the more I need time the more life tends to whip random little disasters at me to deal with. I expect this is just some form of bias rather than an actual phenomenon. The more I need to finish the more I notice all that I have to do. The trick is not to get overwhelmed by all the tings and just do all that you reasonably can. Looking at a mountain of tasks saps the will. A lot of people fall into the trap of looking at the big picture when they need to focus on small things and vice versa. I think most of us have to train ourselves or be trained to take things one task at a time.
When I started the comic I had to learn to just do a page, or a week of writing, or whatever, so I didn’t get all antsy about the entire thing.
Anyway, the long and short of all this is that I need to help the Teen move back in here and I have a lot of stuff I need to do. So it’s perfectly imperfect timing as usual. In any case I’ll get by like I always do.

You’re a lucky man, Mr Lincoln.
His charms that have finally paid off?
So … is Nina about to land up under Ed?
Well, I’m sure Ed’s rising to the occasion.
Did ed already forget amazon nina who whooped everyone in the store? she is gonna set him up to take him down, but I have a feeling hes going to really enjoy the fall
I’m sure Ed remembers, after all he has shown a talent for staying abreast of things …
Where women glow and men plunder
Nina certainly seems to be glowing at the moment. Or soon will be. ;)
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.
Is Nina, “Six foot four, and full of muscles?”
Pretty damn close.
Hee hee hee. Bravo! :D
This was supposed to be a reply to Jackie’s comment. Arrg. Faw.
So … what card game are they going to play?
Strip Tarot????
Xxxenophile would be my guess (yes real game was retooled into a ccg for girl genius acctually)
In the words of Steven Wright, “Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.”
…and… there goes the “G” rating…….. Go willingly Ed… go willingly………..
Oh I suspect he’ll get back to the G spot eventually …
@tyersome – /highfive
Ba dum dum kish!
Will he come w…[ I can’t say it! ] ;D
Meaning- [ Will he come willingly?]…etc., etc..
Damn, it’s getting steamier than a sauna.
Anyone else notice these two aren’t blushing unlike most the other characters in these situations? Also its about damn time :p
I’m pretty sure Nina just offered to blow Ed. Huh.
Or she went for the low blow.
I do like this girl!
Freely interpreting her delicious innuendo, it seemed more like a statement of intent than an offer.
I’m going to keep “low blow” for future use.
Nina is queen of the innuendo.
I can’t decide whether I’d love to be close to a woman this forward or be terrified by it…
More the former than the latter I suspect.
This girl recommends a lot of love and a little terror, but she’s a forward one this girl is. YMMV.
Insert your preferred “Both” .gif here.
Panel 2 – It’s spelled “competitive” :)
Good luck with the Teen… getting started in life these days is a bumpy road. You’re a good man for helping her out.
“not to get overwhelmed by all the tings”
As David Lee Roth once said – that’s life. Fighting daily not to get overwhelmed by all the things.
When gamer girls get serious, they’re not above “helping” their opponent disengage his large head in favor of his small one. It’s not fair, but it makes the game a win-win.
…Nina straight comes with the mother-fu@$ing pain…and I just might be convinced that she’s been looking for somebody who can do the same.
Dammit Nina, you are already my favourite character, you don’t have to double down on it.
Ed, marry that girl.
Getting overwhelmed by things is a real problem. I once read a story about a carpenter apprentice, who was given a task to do a woodcarving for a large table in two weeks time.
On the first day or two he did almost a quarter of the task, and did it well. For the rest of the week, he did nothing but admired his own work. As the second week begun, he got scared because so much work was still undone and so little time left. At this point the teacher told him to do in a day as much carving, as his palm could cover – no more and no less, and not to worry. Indeed, by the end of the second week, the entire carving was completed.
This story stuck in my head and quite often I remind myself that I’ve got to do just *some* part of the job even if it is large, and not to waste time being scared of it. Even palm-fulls of work add up to completion. Fear, on the other hand, never does.
Seeing as how Miss Grace already allowed Ed to plant his mug amidst Her “jugs”,
Why do they stand so far apart, Crave?
Miss Grace could be sitting on Ed’s lap whilst he rests his head on Her chest…
Being also tall, I do realise how hard it would be on Her neck to talk to someone normal height, and/or smaller, from that close;
Especially whilst standing.
Wow her flirting has me floored.
