Uuuuuuuuuhhh… (start of a new story arc)
And now have a look at Aeris dressed as Hit-Girl:
And she has come with her mom, the Black Widow from Iron Man. You are now officially toast!
Yup, the name of the girl is, indeed, Aeris. You can find more pictures of her at the deviantART page of her father Christian-Lee who is a fashion designer and made the costumes. This family proves that even geekery of epic levels can be incredibly awesome. 😉 Of course it is inevitable that she’ll cosplay as Tifa sometime in the future. Of course it is now also inevitable that there will be a story arc about the subject involving Cloud and his mom.
- Sandra: Cloud, do you think I’m ugly?
- Cloud: ’Course not! You’re really pretty!
- Sandra: Really?
- Cloud: Yeah, really.
- Sandra: Prettier than Larisa?
- Cloud: Uuuuuuuuuhhh…
- WALL-E: Dirrrrr-ect-tivvve?
- Cloud: Damn Cloud, would a little lie have hurt that much?

They are watching WALL-E since it’s a romantic comedy that both boys and girls can enjoy. There’s also a minor correlation of the actions in the movie and what happens in “reality” between Sandra and Cloud. Therefore WALL-E is the perfect choice to accompany the current storyline.
In my opinion, it’s pretty hard to compare Sandra and Larisa. I mean, (imo) Sandra is much more /cute/ than Larisa, but Larisa is more pretty in the cool sort of way, if you can understand what I mean.
At least she didn’t ask, “Does this (insert article of clothing) make me look fat?” Another question without a correct answer.
Why do females insist on asking that question?!
(Scratch that, I remember the answer: We males primarily rank them on looks…)
At least until we get to know them better on an individual basis. 🙂

The answer is OBVIOUSLY to ran away screaming in fear ^^

This comic made me blush. Very recently I watched WALL-E with my own boyfriend–though I’m a guy… ^^;
you mean scream and run away
You know, I think I should start taking notes on what happens on Sandra and Woo. Sure, I’m no political buff, and the economy just skyrockets over my head most of the time, but, DAMN, these life-lessons are almost commonplace with me! It’s like ‘IF I SAID THAT, THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED’.
Keep up the M-AY-ZING work. [Bad joke is bad.]
I read an amazing sig line one time, no idea who originally said it:
“If you have to lie to someone, it’s their fault.”
No one should put someone else into that situation. “Do you think I look good in this?” is an unfair question–the immorality is on the head of the person that asked. You are under no obligation to truthfully answer a question that the asker had no business asking.
Cloud might take some pointers from political figures “I feel, and let me make it clear that I am talking about my own personal feelings, that in the present moment, the future being an unknown to all of us, that to answer this question, which is by the way an interesting question, and if we examine the terms of the question I think we will find that what you are actually asking is rather than an objective measurable quantity something which may only be answered, if there is an answer, by the answer which I have previously given.”
work that one out, girl.
to all the ladies in the audience, never ask this question. just… please. never do it.
asking questions you dont want answers to?
i thought you brighter than this sandra.
If I get together with a girl and that question is asked, I’d try to say something as romantic and flattering as possible.
So one can tell by the direction of his eyes that he is lying in the second panel.
The third panel screw-up could have been avoided by turning it back on her… since Larisa is still their friend, and he shouldn’t have to be pressured to speak poorly of her.
BUT enough of playing with hypothetical alternatives. We all screw up in practice.
If it makes you feel any better Sandra, Larisa is perceived that way because she struts around. You on the other hand have kept your wholesomeness, for the most part.
Take the 5th, Cloud!
Seriously though, that’s a pretty dumb question to ask. The only answer worth giving would seem to be “Not really, but you’re more fun to hang out with” or something. At least the “Does this make me look fat?” one has a couple of possible answers, namely “No” or “No, but it’s not as flattering as some others”. (Or just “Yes” if it’s bad and the girl is sane)
In all cases one should try to recognise the difference between a genuine seeking of opinion and an attempt to cause trouble, based on the personality of the asker. Sometimes, when a girl asks a question she wants an honest answer. Shocking, I know!
I think the moral of the story here, ladies, is that:
Fishing for compliments is fine, and fairly ego-safe. Asking follow-up questions or qualifiers is pushing your luck.
It’s like digging for treasure in your back yard. If you dig a foot down and find a gold watch, great! Enjoy your treasure! However if you get greedy and keep digging deeper, the next thing you find may be the watch’s former owner.
Larisa is Russian. The tier is unfair.
Sandra just admit you’re Delightfully Decent. and that is okay. It’s okay to like things that aren’t great
uh … girls do know this right, if looks were every thing we wont date them but be Emma watson’s slave?
Well, it´s either obviously lie or hurt someone´s feelings…. dang it, why can´t it be both..
