It was important to me to depict Wallace, Simon, Trent and Carol without Max's manic behaviour patterns. Max is both poly and crazy, and there is correlation there, but she's not poly because she's crazy and she's not crazy because she's poly. Similarly, she's vegan and crazy, but she's not vegan because she's crazy and she's not crazy because she's vegan.

And no, don't worry, you didn't skip a strip. I will be giving you guys the rules to Piña Colada Panic shortly.

0364-------------------------------------

(Wednesday evening, INT: WW and SW's place, WW and JH are playing Piña Colada Panic)

JH: So I finally met Carol the other day.
WW: Oh?
JH: Yeah, she was... not what I was expecting.
--------------
WW: You were expecting something?
JH: I dunno. I only just learned the term "polyamorous" when I met Max, I guess my brain needed to establish a stereotype and it latched onto her.
--------------
WW: You know me, I'm poly.
JH: Yeah, but you and Simon and Trent are all fairly... well... normal guys. Max is the only poly woman I'd ever met, and I guess without realizing it, I just made a mental category for poly women, and Max was the only one in it... and Carol didn't fit that category.
--------------
WW: Because Carol is Jessica Rabbit and Max is a capuchin on speed?
JH: Hey, you said it, I didn't.
