In reply to Rachel S. (masamage). ... but alas, Dave, the answer is "No".

Metal Fatigue: Everyone knows that you can just draw excess matter from Dimension Z for this very purpose. Easy-peasey.

I /love/ Mell in the second panel. What a great smile and line.

Dave's pathetic little "Will I be pretty?" is excellent, too.

Leon: As if interconverting X and Y chromosomes simultaneously in every somatic cell and regenerating gross body structure to match in one quick splort doesn't defy biology at least as much as warping the skeleton at the same time!

If you're going to quibble, quibble about the increase in mass during the transition from Helen to Man-Helen.

Hark! Is that a catgirl's dying scream I hear?

I love the dialog in the second panel, especially the “Most people notice that right away.” Yeah, Dave, duh! I also love Dave’s concern about whether he’ll be pretty.

Saturday:

Personally, I'm more concerned about those magically changing skeletons - as indicated by Dave losing many inches off the top. That part of the transformation not only defies biology but is also likely to be the most painful aspect.

Mentioning that they're in a comic strip: 23.

Indeed, why doesn't Mell have to go through with this? ...Well, the reason for this is best explained by my new fanfic, "Mell and Testosterone: Together at Last", which might or might not be available here.

My favorite strip in this arc has always been the one where Dave wonders why he doesn’t look more like J-Lo.

Considering how Western culture (and *especially* American culture) sees male-to-female “gender reassignment” as anathema, I find Helen’s description of it as merely “almost painless” to be more than a little ironic. Dave *WILL* be feeling your pain, Helen…
