218 – Sparks
Seems like there’s room for only one Marie after all. The one we already have is extremely territorial.

Marie, Marie quite contrary.
How does her Gaia grow?
Gaia between Marie buns.
The more I see Marie-Lune talk the more I expect her to say something like:
“Sacré bleu, how unpleasant. Ma petite Chérie, this is no way to behave. The Queen Bee is not amused.”
Non.
Mais bloody oui. :-)
Are you saying that Marie-Lune sounds a lot like a female Gambit?
What’s a female Gambit? I only know that word from chess and politics and it means something like “risky move”.
I was referring to Gambit, the Cajun mutant from the X-men.

Hahaha, oh my god, there actually is a character out there who talks like that? XD
Sacré bleu, I gotta see this!
Getting more annoyed by the minute
Apropos: I found these just two weeks ago:
French: http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/Oh_noes!
Glasses: http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/She_needed_a_hug!
The timing was pure fate. ^^
Aside from the fact no real-life french speaker says “sacrebleu” ever, it’s indeed written “sacrebleu” and not “sacré bleu”. No accent. One word. The accent changes the entire pronounciation.
Arguing about the spelling of an expletive that hasn’t been used since the 18th century… Egad!
Isn’t sacreblue in Tintin? I think that is where I encountered it first. Along with fake swears like “blue blistering barnacles”.
This is even more unnerving considering Gisèle Lagacé is french speaking and shouldn’t do that. She’s just pandering to her English audiences. What a sellout.
Although she’s not a Quebecer, she’s Acadian… So I guess I blame the Cajun for this “sacré bleu” crap.
Is Gisèle even involved with Eerie Cuties anymore?
I think so. It has what I recognize as her drawing style.
Now I kinda wish those two links still worked so I could see which two pages it was about.
Oh god, she’s French??? Wow, that was a horrible spelling mistake indeed. I looked at her website and eerie cuties is listed as one of the comics she either worked on or collaborated with someone. Maybe she was one of the artists and wasn’t involved from the start? Somehow I can’t imagine a middle-aged woman to have this kind of humor.
I think it’s funny if someone uses old expressions, no matter the language, because old language is much more innocent than ours. Though I wouldn’t be able to identify them as such unless they were English or German. One exception is the Japanese ending “degozaru”, because Kenshin uses it literally all the time.
I will stop giving your characters sacrebleu-related lines now. :-) I think Marie-Neige would just stop yelling and start laughing at Marie-Lune if she did that.
I’m not too sure how much input she has on the other Pixie Trix comics… XD
And middle-aged? But. She’s only 6 years older than me.
…
…
I’m middle-aged too. I know.
Okay, now that I actually looked up middle-aged-ness, it seems to start at about 50, give or take a few years. Since she’s born on 16.06.1970 she’s 47, which is barely close enough (but don’t tell her that^^), but if you’re 6 years younger, you’re not quite middle-aged yet.
Maybe Gaia can regenerate into two girls after you split her? This way everybody will be happy.
I’ve actually wondererd if she could do that before. That would be scary as hell. Maybe that’s why there’s another green haired girl running around…
Just imagine if they can fuse back together… into a giant woman!
Flore would like that.
Golden Gaia!
Ladies. Ladies. Please. There’s enough Gaia for everyone.
It would be a … demanding relationship. But Gaia has plenty of stamina.
This can only end well.
Clem is being kinda selfish.
Mainly because there isn’t enough M-N to go around.
You know, I think Gaia is even cuter with glasses!
But that would require a new glasses-less girl to appear for the sake of diversity… not that would be a bad thing…
More pretty girls is always fine by me, nyao! Lovely ladies ALWAYS make me purr!
Anyone else notice that Clem subtly confessed that she likes M-N?
Yes but didn’t she already do that before?
Possibly, but with only one page a week, I’ve sorta forgotten everything that’s happened before. Also, I don’t think she’s confessed her crush to Saki, yet.
I would say that Gaia needs to give Saki back her glasses. But considering the whole mess that’s developing, I’m betting Saki is better off without them.
Like out of the blue, I’m almost wishing to see a Frivolesque Burlesque number someday… I’d pay to see that :D
Now that you mention it, I wouldn’t mind seeing that either!
Too bad Marie-Lune isn’t a ghost, then she could possess a piece of Marie-Neige’s mind. I mean, M-N says she’s willing to share.
