It actually makes perfect sense. Fauns, like dryads, are paranormal creatures of the woodlands. This one (we don't yet know her name, alas) probably owns a rustic cabin made of naughty pine.

(Glytchmeister, I recommend using a warm washcloth on the face - it relaxes the muscles and can help relieve that bothersome eye-twitch).

I imagine that the really juicy stuff wouldn't be posted there, unless parabook is less like facebook and more like pornhub...

I don't think we actually know that yet. Paul has been suggestive like this before only to reveal that the conversation was actually about innocent fun.

Its all very interesting but we really dont know if she is or not. Since there is no male obviously involved it doesnt matter if the evidence is able to stand up in court. Drops his copy of a 1001 puns in the pun jar

Yes, well, what I've been meaning to mention, ever since yesterday at least, is that what we don't know is that while these two had fun doing 'something', who’s to say there weren’t Others there during the fun as well.

"I know we just met and everything, but you seem cool... and I'm going to (a) party in a little while and I was wondering if you wanted to go along, seeing as how we're both on vacation and everything...".

That's true... but, just remember that there is precedent for the sudden unexpected appearance of heart symbols, plus slightly-lowered eyelids, ending up being very significant indeed.

Not that Pablo is under any obligation to follow precedent or steer the strip in a straight line, mind you. :)

Actually, that one was a "no pun intended", Joe... hadn't even thought of it myself until you pointed it out.

I'm not sure whether this means the Pun Jar owes me a rebate, or whether I have to pay double. :?

It's getting kind of annoying, actually. It's like almost every female character winds up a lesbian. Are males only there for procreation, existing in the comic only because a character may think about having kids, or to be present enough for a female to determine that she's not interested in males?

If you notice, all the straight characters either disappear, or are just seen so little that they are simply background characters now, regardless of how prominent they may have been in the past. Or, they could be like Monica, and just up and leave a guy just because a woman shows interest, and then completely disappear. (Though, in Monica's case for disappearing, I'm pretty sure it's difficult to write an interesting story for her now. It'd be like watching a fight between Genghis Khan and Mahatma Gandhi.)

Consider what might happen if you were a female paranormal or immortal surrounded constantly by other gorgeous, strong and incredibly sexy female paranormals. I think that would color anyone's perception, especially in a world where being gay is not seen as anything out of the norm.

There was the bit where she took her pet fish (either a beta or a gold fish) for a walk, but I'm not sure if anything happened between her and the fellow that helped change the farty fish's water.

We don't even seem to have a name yet for this individual who may have been faundling Katherine. I wonder if this will be one of those incidents that is never really fully revealed.

And will we find out what Castela was going to ask her sister yesterday upon returning from the Library, before Atsali interrupted her?

Are you implying that Katherine and the faunette were getting Debussy together?

Perhaps Katherine's soul is 1/6 (at least) male?

The only really gay major female characters I can think of are Nadette and Heather (and Heather showed some slight interest in Owen before moving on to Shelly). The rest have shown interest in men, men and women, or not much interest in anybody. Which doesn't really sound too far off from the real-life demographics, from what I recall of them. Especially given how many of these characters are either not raised in current society or in human society. . .or in a few cases not in either.

Ever since the day Monica dumped Kevin, there is indeed a surge of fresh lesbian characters in the Waspiverse. But is that a problem ? (and I don't mean just fauning over hot ladies in various state of undress)

As Catawampus pointed out, the demographic plays a part. The Waspiverse is a very sexually active place. Even Charon, of all people, has a kid. Still warping my mind around that one. That Katherine's current version has a sex life doesn't come as a surprise to no one. As to say whether or not she's lesbian, bisexual or just has a horn fetish is up to Paul. That doesn't make her less interesting a character.

Otoh, and I join you here, there are zero interesting male characters onboard currently. Even Justin's background, rich as it was, was never exploited/used at all. And he was the last new face I can think of. Tepoz, a thing of the past. Alan and Jin have kind of living in marital bliss. As for Owen and Lakshmi, they might live in another world for all we know.

Someday it may change, but for now, female horn it is.

I think if you look at all other *popular* PG13 to R comics, you will find it is very much the norm...
