OK, male or certain female Sluggites, here’s the gig. You stand to inherit $100 million, **if** and only **if** you get married within 24 hours. If you divorce, you lose the dough. Any & all of the Women of Sluggy Freelance are willing potential mates.

Definitely Sasha. She’s handy with tools and can fix anything. She’s a hard worker and looks good in a flotation device. Gwynn’s too bitchy. I’d be tempted to smother her with a pillow. Zoë’s too nice. It’d be too easy to walk all over her. The less said about Oasis the better. ---

For Gwynn, you forgot to add “occasionally possessed by demons”. Just sayin’… Being a gay man, I’ll go with Riff. Of course, I won’t let him check his notes until after the ceremony… ---

Well, I like yaoi, so I would have go with giving my legal identity to Harley and Rasputin, a gay couple from the comicstrip [“Boy meets Boy”](http://boymeetsboy.keenspot.com/d/20000922.html) so long as they are dressed up as Torg and Riff, like they do every Halloween, and have them marry each other, but at second thought, I would have to go with Oasis, because I don’t want to live in Yaoi fantasy land all my life. [The start of her story line](http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=990913) Besides, she can defend me from attacks from the league of “Once a Bi-sexual person, always a bisexual person.” ---

Zoe, then Sasha. The otrhers are too crazy and too often evil. ---

The story takes place in New Jersey, not Massachu…er, anywhere in the northeast. I’d go with Sasha to be sure. ---

> [@jayjay](#): > > Not meaning to hijack, but have you been following Sandra’s current webcomic, [Friendly Hostility](http://friendlyhostility.com)? Nope, sorry. SInce BMB ended, I have been spending every waking moment (Just kidding. Or am I?) trying to learn how to hack, in order to learn how to break into KittyHawk’s computer and download the “[not even avalible on web archive sites](http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.montroseacademy.com/duklyon)” parts of the comic strip, [Montrose Academy](http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.montroseacademy.com). I know the creater has moved onto something else,[new](http://www.sgvy.com/index.shtml), but it just isn’t as good. :(I am able to access part of the old site, but it isn’t enough. I want it all. ☹ ---

Sasha, no doubt. Although I’d take a whirl with Oasis. Why not? ---

Mmm … Zoe. I never liked Oasis at all. I was glad every time she died. Gwynn is a bitch with or without K’Z’K, and I don’t know Sasha that well, since it’s been awhile since I read the strip. Did I say, “Mmm … Zoe” yet?" ---

Gwynn is a bitch with or without K’Z’K, and I don’t know Sasha that well, since it’s been awhile since I read the strip. Did I say, “Mmm … Zoe” yet?" You’re not really missing anything at this point. The only one of the usual characters on-scene right now is Bun-Bun (or, as he prefers to be known, the Dread Pirate Bun-Bun) and the story is some horrible mish-mash of a time pirate thing, occasionally interspersed with some sort of video-game screen-cap captioning episode and the weekend guest strips (which are, ironically, the only strips to feature any of the other usual characters). Abrams is seriously off his game lately. ---

If Dr. Steve’s wristwatch is part of the deal, then _definitely_ Oasis. Otherswise, Sasha. > [@jayjay](#): > > Abrams is seriously off his game lately. Except for occasional flashes, Abrams has been seriously off his game for about two years now. Although I still read it every day, hoping he gets back on track ---

Oasis is tempting, but I’d go with Zoe, simply because she’s the most sane of the quartet. And another vote for the “Abrams is not as good as he used to be” pile. But I keep hoping… ---

Sasha bugs me the least- the rest tend to be shrieking shrews given any opportunity where that wouldn’t kill them, if memory serves. But, I haven’t read in a while. Has anything worthwhile at all happened since about a month after Ailee re-incarnated as the fire-dragon thingie that continuously eats, and they killed the big bug-like Ailee?
