Ménage à 3 Universe Comics

Anyone here familiar enough with the MA 3 et al. forums to elaborate on the mention in Characters.Sandra On The Rocks of Zoe having Memetic Badass status there?

It's fairly low-key as the trope goes; to be honest, calling her a full-on Memetic Badass would be an exagerration. However, anyone who reads the comic regularly soon notices that she has the build of an amazonian supermodel, and usually comes out ahead in any contest, whether of negotiation, snarking, sex, or physical combat. She's impressive, and is consistently written that way.

Amazonian? Sure, she's noticeably tall, but her build seems typically-for-your-average-modern-supermodel slim with no obvious muscle tone.

All of Eisu's characters have some kind of muscle tone, don't they? And by his own acknowledgement, Zoe is based on the classic '90s supermodel image - I think he said Cindy Crawford. She also routinely intimidates the hell out of other characters, often just by standing there.

But in any case, amazonian is as amazonian does. She carried a full grown woman off over her shoulder and tossed her into a swimming pool, apparently flipped Sandra over her shoulders from behind her to dump her into the same pool, and then landed a punch hard enough to take out an adult man while swimming. I think she's in well-above-average physical condition.

Yeah, no argument with that. Amazonian Beauty she ain't, but damn if she ain't possessed of truly amazonian strength.

New Ma3. Technically just SFW, due to starfish. Kiley has awakened DiDi's imagination.

... So, Kiley's hand is still intact, huh?

Here's to hoping that Didi doesn't develop an addiction to orgasms. I don't think the MA 3 cast can survive a genuinely hyper-libidinous Didi.

It had been pretty active before...

Point taken. Still, it seems to spend a lot of time dozing.

Just about. Functional if not entirely happy.

So, mission accomplished?

Tactical triumph, potential strategic disaster. Where do you think DiDi is going to go from here, after all?

A good question. I won't speculate or make any assumptions about it, though.

The sensible conclusion would be that she should pay more attention to romance in her relationships with men. But the probability of anyone making a sensible conclusion in this comic is close to zero.

Indeed. But the thing Kiley should be worrying about right now is that DiDi has a rather uncomplicated personality, and Kiley has just (a) seemed extremely romantic towards her and (b) solved her big problem, once.

The word is "fixation". And DiDi is just about literally Kiley's worst nightmare.

It's just speculation, but this comic has a history of going one step beyond an apparent ending to see what comes next.

New SDB. A river in Africa.

If that's a joke, I didn't get it.

It's a worn-out pun in English. "Denial (the Nile) is a river in Africa".

Haha her fucking face.

New Sandra. Nadine proves beyond doubt that Eloise isn't as cool as she thinks she is.

New Ma3. DiDi can make a bedsheet look like an evening gown; Kiley can't stop digging that hole she's in even deeper.

Could be worse; DiDi is concerned about Kiley's well-being (instead of, say, immediately demanding a blended orgasm).

One of these days, someone has to ask Didi just how she ended up with her nigh-superhuman amazonian strength.

Being a waitress. Juggling giant platters of food can do that.

Is that a joke, or is it serious?

Yes.

It's a joke.

You don't see superhumanly strong Sandra, do you?
