I’m not so sure this is a non-threatening change like Pickle recommended. Going from “The Ring” to “Harem Anime” maaaay be a bit of a too sudden change. If Connie now decides she loves cute and sweet things, what will happen to their regular pastime of scaring the shit out of people?
I think she may be overdoing it a bit already. To me Tepoz looks a little confused in panel 2 (which is good and the goal), but almost bewildered in panel 3 (which means things may go any which way).
He’s also clearly NOT looking at her butt in panel 2, sooo… I guess he’s not as creepy as his age would dictate according to the rules of fiction.
Since I can’t reply to you comment above, I’ll just do it here.
I did drop the comic for three or four years. I came back to catch up and see if anything’s improved since then. The Para stuff is fine, I can appreciate a new plot line with new characters – the old have reached the godzilla threshold where they’re not actually interesting as main characters. But then a few more characters ended up lesbians, a few more with tits out to there… It all smacks of pandering to male interest, not building coherent plot. I imagine I will probably drop the comic again soon enough. I like sexy ladies and all, but I like plot a lot more.
She’s adorable!
You may be pushing the kawaii a little hard there, Connie – but you *are* cute!
Her middle name is not “subtle”.
Well, considering that some of the boys are more dense than the center of a black hole, that might be still too subtle… 😅
And I say this as a man, so you can believe it. (Actually this trait can be true to both gender – usually only their chosen one blind to the fact…)
Last line 8s a big “hint hint” Tepoz.
aka a cluebat.
Gosh I miss those things.
She is acute. I hope Tepoz isn’t too obtuse to get the point!
“Houston to Planet Tepoz, are you receiving us?”
Man! Now I want a crepe. I have to go all the way into Portland to find those, and the trailer that sells them is only open this late on weekends.

I think it cute when she scares the shit out of people. So sweet!
No amount of subtle will help here…..its all going to go over Tepoz’s head. He’s a literal Brick.
That was a great deal of setup to drop the line, “I like cute and sweet.” Too much razzle and someone will miss the dazzle.
She’s turning into a cute char. I never knew she could be! (also, I didn’t know she and Tepoz were an item…)
Neither does he… yet
Tepoz doesn’t know it either. Yet!
I’m certain this will all go just fine as long as she doesn’t overdo it…
(Bites tongue)

For some reason, multiple characters in the comic make me think of song lyrics about eyes…

Probably nothing, probably just me, move along…
Tepoz is not impressed at seeing Monica in the bathtub. http://wapsisquare.com/comic/videofireplace/
Wait a minute…”Muscle Butt?”
a nickname for Shelly since the early days of the comic. ~<3
As for Tepoz, “Ground Control to Major Tom! Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong! can you hear me, Major Tom?” 😉

Here’s a thought…if you think you can do better, go for it. Who knows? It may even catch on.
