What part of the comic does the image appears in?
It appears right after the gender bending party, Ellen's comment was in response to Elliot pointing out that Nanase hadn't actually agreed to be a couple yet or something along those lines.
Where does the current picture come from?
In Literature, the character of Lazarus Long in Heinlein's Time Enough For Love is the world's oldest living human. At the beginning of the book he is trying to kill himself by avoiding "rejuvenation therapy" — a squad of his descendants rescue him. He makes a deal with them: he will go through rejuvenation therapy if they can unearth one experience he could do that he hadn't done already. Two of his female descendants arrange for Opposite Sex Clone s of him to be implanted in them; both are born and he finds himself raising twin female versions of himself. Lale: How is Dani Phantom a reference to the X-Men example? Morgan Wick: Because they're both Distaff Counterpart s to the established long-running characters? I got nothing. Lale: I would have guessed a Shout Out to Supergirl, but, oh well... Ununnilium: Taking that out, and adding the example at the top of the page. Scrounge: Removed the comic  ◊, since it overlapped and obscured the sidebar. Plus, it was hotlinked, and if I'm not allowed to do that, I'm sure as hell not gonna sit by while someone else gets away with it! :P
Seth: Yes another anti hotlink crusader Mwahahahahahahah.
Scrounge: Eh, to be honest, the hotlinking's not really the main issue as far as I'm concerned, it's that it added pretty much nothing and totally wrecked the feng shui of the page.
arromdee: It would not be necessary to use a second X chromosome from another person. It would be possible to use a copy of the same X chromosome that's already there (this may cause other problems—look up "genomic imprinting" on Wikipedia—but one would assume any tech advanced enough to develop cloning can solve this). RobMandeville: X-23 is an interesting example. While she is an Opposite Sex Clone by the literal definition, the two characters appear to share little but the same Combo Platter Powers (modulo metal skeleton). They also justify the trope in-story, saying that the genetic material they worked from had a damaged Y chromosome. Krine say: "In Doctor Who, in the episode The Doctor's Daughter, a female clone (sorta) is made of the Doctor. The relationship between them is presented as father/daughter throughout. The Doctor calls her a "generated anomaly". Donna calls her Jenny and the clone takes it as her own. The clone is also very attractive." Really now. The content was spoilered out, but the EPISODE TITLE was fine, despite being Exactly What It Says On The Tin ? And on a page that explicitly stated what the spoiler was? Oh, you wacky Doctor Who fans. Ninjacrat: It is funny watching Americans flip out over spoilers for a change... arromdee: Took out the reference to the Doctor's Daughter being blonde. I don't recall the exact wording they used in the technobabble but it sounded like they took half the Doctor's genetic material and combined it with another half—but not the exact opposite half—like sexual reproduction. Blonde hair is recessive, so it's possible the Doctor could have had a single gene for blonde hair. If the two halves you take both happen to include this recessive gene, she could be blonde. It's the same way she could be female; he has an X and Y chromosomes and both times the half they took had an X in it. Besides, she came out with clothes and makeup. Hair dye is no bigger a stretch. Dangermike: Took out the rant about how she's "Not a clone no way OMG!!!11" Since she's made from Doc's DNA and no one else's, she's a clone by any medical definition. |
