Y'know, it's been so long since we've seen her that I had to squint hard to tell whether that was Monica or not to Jin's left(for us). I'm still not entirely sure but it has to be, though I thought she was a good bit shorter than Jin.
She seems all smiles so far. Guess we'll see how everything has panned out.

Shouldn't it be "this suit has only slightly more support" instead of "this suit is only slightly more support" ?

Now here's the thing though.
I recall Atsali being told to wear something that she'd wear normally out in public, right? Yeah well this is not that. This is jiggly, wobbly ohgoddon'tpopout territory. Monica's blatantly wearing a one piece there in the last panel. Now maybe this opinion won't be terribly popular but that particular bathing suit is indeed a little inappropriate for a 16 year old girl to be wearing.
On top of that, Monica herself never wore a two-piece suit outside of the privacy of her backyard or The Island with her friends.

i gotta get going to work so i can't look it up, but i thought that she was told to wear something the she would wear to the Island, not out in public?

Yes and the one time we've seen her on the island, it was in a one piece bathing suit.
http://wapsisquare.com/comic/tossed-aside/ Even when she was at a beach(did we even know if it was The Island?) with Da Bears she was wearing something far more modest. I've just got this feeling she's going to feel incredibly awkward tomorrow/whenever they get to the pool.

No... I think this was intentional... Bud has a habit of mixing metaphors... whether deliberately or by accident I'm not sure...
Remember
Bud singing New Wave while drunk?

Couldn't find this one as a regular page - may have been eBay -only.
(This was the point at which i realised that
Our Vampires Are Different. I'm not sure if Lily and Suzie had yet appeared in the comic at this point...)

I'm happy with either version.

The fact that Bud is there, spritely and chipper and apparently not hung over or unhappy, may suggest that her dinner date with Kevin wasn't a disaster...

Agreed... the way Atsali said it, is a fairly common verbal usage.

Lily and Suzie first appeared at the same time in the strip - when Monica saw them blocking the sidewalk in front of the MMoH.

Really? The way I see it, only Bud qualifies for the
A Team... (no nudity, but not quite safe for work...)

Not that much shorter...
Atsali wrote:This suit is only slightly more support than the air around me...
I thought air support was a good thing to have, in combat... and here, she says she has slightly more than just air support... so what is she complaining about?

*Bows* My pleasure sir! It took me about an hour of scouring the archives for those... Katherine is a hottie in a bikini in her own right... I tried to find the blood shower scene with Lily and Suzi but couldn't... I think that might have just been a ebay listing... but a good one.

I believe the term is "Cujones"... or "Juevos"... LOL

I wonder if this is an indoor pool... and um... I don't think Jin is thinking about swimming (neither will anyone else when they get a load of this crew)... with the way she teases her beau, and Monica from time to time, I'm pretty sure that swimming is pretty low on her agenda. Oh, and Latex or Cire' Spandex "wetlook" suits are exactly what is called for in this situation. Nothing like something skin tight and shiny when you
want to be noticed!
