Delightful!

Oh my goodness, this is delightful. Margo had a whole conversation with Nina, even complimented Nina's "flawless figure" without even noticing Nina's custom-tailored dress shirt hugging her distended stomach? I guess the dye job was just to distract Margo from her unusually low baby bump. She looks like a reverse camel. I love Nina's sly/agressive look in the second panel, too. Like "Oh YEAH?? You think I look GREAT huh?? Clearly no one is ever allowed to see our torsos in this strip so I'll make a special exception for you KABAMM!! Preggo." It's a reveal only A3G could engineer.

P.S. HOW DID I NOT NOTICE MARGO HAS ONE BOOB IN THE FIRST PANEL.

I love this strip too much sometimes.

I'm wondering about how Nina's breasts grew three cup sizes from one panel to the next. Stand back, Margo!

This is one of those pregnancies you see in horror movies, where the mother begins showing and delivers the spawn of Satan in the span of a day. Or in the case of "Apartment 3-G", she starts showing over the span of 6 days and delivers that baby 4 years from now.

@bwebster - Breasts do increase in size during pregnancy. Usually over weeks and months, though, not panels. And generally about a cup size.

Who ever thought comments would take this particular turn in A3G?

This just proves my theory that people in A3G don't see anything below the boob. Margin isn't unobservant, she just literally didn't see the rest of nina until nina shoved her baby bump into the frame.

Casey,

That would just feed some sort of sick fantasy, that I won't comment on, that like Donald Duck, no one in 3G has worn pants for the past two years.

Okay, how many days has it been since Margo went to Nina's office and she's JUST NOW noticing that Nina is as big as a house? How do you say 'self absorbed'??

bwebster said...

mrvy -- yes, I'm very much aware of breasts growing during pregnancy (I have four kids, five step-kids, and 14 grandkids). I'm also aware they don't do it in the space of a few moments. :-)

Tommie was about to violate HIPAA in Sunday's strip. It's a good thing Margo was her normal self and hijacked the conversation.
