I suspect that most people don’t remember that Pat Martingale is Patricia “Rulette” Martingale, who ran the D&D game, owns the comic shop called Rulette’s, & went along on the mission that found the hidden basement in the hotel. Then again, I may be wrong & everyone knows, but I decided to make a note of it here, just in case.
Alex is about the same age as Carol, so she probably is exaggerating the idea that Rulette & Thomas “ran around” together unintentionally. She would have been young enough that she probably was only sort of aware of the particulars of their relationship & has just filled in the gaps in her mind. She is not, however, incorrect in describing Rulette as a corrupting influence. Although not malicious, she certainly enjoys exposing people to the wilder side of nerd culture, if that’s even the proper way to describe it.
If you would like to be corrupted by me please consider joining my Patreon for occasional racy images of various cast members & additional swears from time to time.

Quick question cause I can’t recall right now. Is Ruth Thomas’ sister yeah?
I can’t recall either, because his sister has only been mentioned one time, & I can’t remember if it was even by name.
How do you keep track of these things? So you can just casually say “has only been mentioned once” over a whole decade?
Hyper obsessive personality mostly
Pardon I mean rulette.
No relation.
Oh then I totally misread what their relationship to each other was in the earlier pages.
Whatever Rulette did with Thomas still couldn’t possibly be as bad as what that “writer” woman (his ex, if I recall right) did to him.
I believe the inference here has something to do with embarrassing bones tucked deep into Toms Closet. These bones may or may not be snug inside a fursona.
The overarching point though, is that those bones shouldn’t be embarrasing, nor me-thinks, would Thomas be the sort to let it embarras him.
And from one who has lost the capacity to recall little details like Thomas’ background relations, your little reminder blog prompts are appreciated Jackie.
I feel like it’s probably important to point out that just because one virtually needs to have a fursona to be a hard core furry, one can have a fursona without being a furry.
I mean, it’s likely there’s been at least one person somewhere who’s gotten hot and bothered enough by Buggs in that dress to be a hard core furry without having enough imagination to come up with a fursona for themselves. But there have definitely been people who have been close enough friends with people in the furry community to come up with fursonas to hang out with their friend, as well as people who have done so to meet the needs of their romantic partners, all while not actually being furries themselves.
…
Actually, as I’m thinking about this more, I remember there was that one lady from school who was not herself interested in having her own fursona, but she was sufficiently interested in being “with” an anthropomorphic wolf that her non-furry partner had a fursona, but she did not while still very definitely being a hard core furry. So, yeah, having a fursona only strongly correlates with being a furry, it’s not definitive in either direction.
(I did not actually know either her, and as far as I know I didn’t know her partner. I did know her ex’s roommate, however. Her ex’s roommate was in the furry community, she was apparently not, a point they felt strongly enough about to note. I don’t know whether that was because they wanted her to be or because they were opposed to her being.)
This entry is full of great stuff.
“The flirting. The way you look at each other. Body language.” As an average, dense, male, I am drawn to women with high EQ. (Maybe that’s why I married an MSW.)
And Carol’s switchback from “Whatever makes you say that?” to “I won’t insult your intelligence…”.
