Careful where you point those things, Atsali -- You could break somebody's nose!

Jin could poit, but the library has all the cross references. Know before you go!

But Atsali can't. And Jin can't possibly have all of them memorized, even with her Time-Loop awareness. Especially new shops that only popped up after 12/21/2012.

Using Monica as the colloquial yardstick is not nearly as effective as using her as a literal yardstick.

It's not that Jim is that short, it's that Atsali is that tall. Notice Jin comes to almost the same place on Atsali as Nadette. The chest shelf head rest.

Well, yeah - but, then again, Big Bird is Rather Tall.

Jin's about the same height as Monica.

Jin seems taken aback by Atsali's huge tracts of land. :o

She's only slightly taller than Monica. One of the reasons they get along so well, perhaps.

Atsali's expression in that first panel is priceless....

So now Atsali is unleashed upon the unsuspecting shops of the world. Oh dear.

I wonder how good she is at currency conversion?
Dave wrote:(But why would Jin need to use the Library portals? She can still poit, can't she?)
Jin has to know where she's going before she can poit there. Plus, the directory would probably keep up to date on what new stores there are and which ones have closed down (it could be embarrassing to sudden appear in the middle of what used to be a clothing store but what is now a secure vault of some kind).

Plus, she's showing it to Atsali for Atsali's own personal future use, and Atsali might not want to always have to call up Jin to take her shopping. Atsali would need her own method of transportation, thus the Library portals.

Has anyone noticed Atsali's tendency to lean back a bit when she's standing? Usually when she's right in front of someone. I'm guessing that may be a way to keep herself balanced. That much weight may make her fall forward. Or maybe she doesn't want to smack someone in the face with her breasts, or even just to cope with the weight a little.
There is no such thing as a science experiment gone wrong.

Yes.

I finally realized why: it's strongly reminiscent of A'sawi.
