I kinda feel a little sorry for Devyn. Because she’s so powerful and had to keep such a tight reign on herself and her abilities, she doesn’t have the option to be a goofy, carbonating-hormones sort of girl.
She has my respect and admiration.
Not many could be so consistent exercising self-restraint.
OTOH, if it were merely a symptom of a lack of passion I would feel sorry for her.
Being asexual, I’ve never felt an attraction to anyone, but I’m fine with that. And if anyone were to act like Debbie, or her friends, around me, I’d be just like Devyn. Also, I’d tell the sub what transpired.
Atsali and Devyn need to swap some hormones and intuition for a while… Devyn can take some of the Siren effects off of Atsali and give A some more “what the heck just happened?” sense, at the same time that Devyn gets a few “Urges to Ogle” and gets to loosen up on her feelings from time to time, from the Atsali side of things…
I recall being at the middle schoolish age when all my friends were going “boy crazy” and I literally had no idea what they were all excited about! I would much rather spend my time thinking about art and reading and wandering through the woods. It really wasn’t until I was in high school that I began feeling attractions, but they were never so intense that I would so obviously stare and get all moony. When I was in my mid 20’s and I met the man who is now my husband, it was like a flash of lightning and I suddenly understood the blushing and the babbling and the stuttering of getting an intense crush! Late bloomer I guess lol! But I still love art and books and the woods, only now I have a companion.
I remember many times when walking with a group of friends, all of us enthusiastically discussing something that we collectively though was very important or interesting. And then, suddenly all of us went silent, sometimes for several minutes, only to pick up the discussion again once the girl or girls got out of range.
Hormone overload made it impossible for us to keep our attention on anything but whatever girl happened to cross our path unless she was a close relative…
I’m sure we weren’t the least bit creepy… 😉
Class mates of the female kind presented a tough obstacle. Only through repeated exposure was I able to build up enough of a hormone tolerance that I actually managed to learn something of what they were trying to teach us.
Some people have a better handle on their hormones, Devyn.
Abbie may not.
I like Devyn in panel 2. “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who do you think you’re woofing?”
“…And what would you do with it if you could have it?”
“…”
ITYM “…if you caught it.”…”
She’s on to ya Abbey; time to enter the witness protraction program…
It takes some serious angling to get into that.
Am I the only one hearing “To Sir, with Lust” playing in the background?
At least she is honest with herself.
Paul does like to stretch his jokes.
Maybe … “I don’t think she’s into girls”…
Love your comic! Could you put a link into the RSS feed for the voting sites? I ant to make sure I always vote for you

I don’t think it’s self restraint. I think she’s not having any sexual reaction.
There’s that white mouth interior again, is it a stylistic choice?
I’m going w/ ‘yeah, it’s Art’ as an answer.
In order to feed our addic… er, in order to meet deadlines AND still respond to Real Life, one must cut corners where it matters less.
It’s not that it [i]doesn’t[/i] matter, but there are only so many heartbeats & eyeblinks in the waking day…
Huh, OK, lose the Formatting of Text, but it would be nice to edit posts…
I’m wondering if Devyn just may come over all oglepated if one of her classes has an attractive lady teacher…
As much as I would like that, I think she’s heavily weighed down by her circumstance and frivolity is an underutilized skill in her experience…
