          Wait, if its campaign season who is her oponent to be? Is Sydney going to be in the race? Will she be a student instead? Maybe a disgruntled Galasso’s pizza employee?

      I don’t think that’s a lezzing smile. I think that’s a “i like you as a friend, but will still accept nice gifts (and votes in november) from you” smile.

      I got a couple of those smiles in my time. Still get them.

              what do you mean by ‘on’? You don’t need that word there.

              also you feel totally stoked. the feeling that you currently have is totally stoked.

                Ah, thank you for clarifying this for me. Don’t know what I’d do without kind souls like you.

                I suspect that “get in on this” is an idiom that just doesn’t translate to your location though? Google it in the quotation like that though and you can find other uses of it.

    Interesting that even DOAverse Leslie has a crush on Robin, given that she doesn’t know her personally and probably only knows her public persona. And I have a sneaking suspicion that Robin’s policies aren’t the most gay-friendly out there.

    Robin better watch out though… it looks like Roz has gotten an idea.
    (Granted, given that Robin seems to be the last to know when it comes to stuff like that, it could be just a realization and not an Evil Plot.)

    So is Robin a republican? Is this going to turn into one of those ironic situations where an adamant anti-gay politician is caught in bed with a homosexual?

    Clearly that’s what Roz is hoping to do with that smirk.

      It only matters if it’s with a homosexual of the same sex. 😛

      Still, I’m very interested to see how this will play out. No matter how scandalous, if Robin and Leslie wind up together in this universe, Robin’s realization/coming out story is going to be rather different.
      I’d say Robin’s probably still unawares, so it’s going to take an impressive achievement by Roz for this to come into play very soon.

    Eeyup, they’re in love. We all knew it, just weren’t too sure about it.

    Now the only mystery left is about Ethan’s homosexuality. XD

    And suddenly, all the sympathetic points Roz’s gathered in these last few strips will be gone in a second. Or she’ll be sung as a hero. OR her most recent and nefarious plan will bite her in the ass.

    I like the word nefarious.

    I know that grin… I have that grin often… I love having that grin, and I love seeing others have that grin as long as it’s not about me… That’s the blackmail grin, and everytime I see it things start getting really awesome for the blackmailer (until the very end, admittedly things -do- eventually come to an end and become useless info.)

      You should be ashamed, then. The blackmail grin means doing nasty things to someone for the sake of just doing nasty things to that person. Roz is heading for “heinous bongo” territory if she gives in and uses this. Huh, I was wondering how Willis was going to make her be unlikeable here, and I have my answer. She’s the *really* self-centered one of the two this time around.

      Ignoring the nasty future-implications of Roz, today’s strip is really cute. It’s kind of charming the way Robing and Leslie are hitting it off here. 🙂

        There’s also monetary gain.

          It’s also good for saying ‘Hey, know that thing you were going to make me do? Well, if I do it, then I’ll also do this.’ or just plain getting revenge. I’m not a ‘nasty’ person, I do retaliate, though, when my friends or myself are ‘attacked.’

    Wow, I wasn’t expecting that to be mutual. In Shortpacked, Leslie went through a long period of seemingly-unrequited passion before Robin started treating her as more than an accessory. It seemed like her ardor gradually won Robin over. Congresswoman Robin has no obvious use for her, and hasn’t had time to start depending on her, and yet here we are.

    Les in this universe seems a lot stronger and more confident, in general, and has a job that commands greater respect. That might have something to do with it: it’s more flattering when the person crushing on you is a well-liked gender studies professor than when she’s a grocery clerk with no apparent social circle.

      I think differences between DoA and SP! Robin’s reaction to Leslie may have more to do with Robin’s apparent state of development rather than Leslie’s. Given the realization that Robin had a crush on Amber, this makes her rejection of Leslie and fruitless chase of Ethan seem like an elaborate and Robinesque denial of her own sexual desires (maybe as a unconscious reaction to her father’s legacy).

      This is a universe where Robin wasn’t abducted by aliens and forced to deploy as a member of SEMME. Maybe in this universe, she may actually have enough time and growth as a person to accept that she is a (closeted?) bisexual/lesbian and to have at least partly overcome the sexual repression she might have had as a result of her family life. (Assuming Mr. Desanto is also an ass in DOA.)

      Sexual repression for Robin seems particularly likely when you consider that Roz has basically adopted a opposite life choice, which in my experience is typical for siblings (that they diverge in their reactions).

    Judging by robins blush I really doubt that she is unaware. Love is a good kind of sickness that clouds your mind and makes you completely forget everything you know and believe in in that one moment.

    I wonder if all the people who are all ‘No no Roz don’t scheme don’t embarrass Leslie’ realize that if Roz does *not* scheme to embarrass Leslie, then it seems highly probable that Robin would walk out that door and never see Leslie again. It’s not like they ever ran into each other previously, and it’s not like Robin will go out of her way to visit scandal/Leslie upon herself in election season – and by the time that ends, this moment of attraction will be just a memory, if there aren’t interim reminders at the least.

    If you like Robin+Leslie, you should be banking on Roz pushing them together with the aim of ruining Robin’s political career. ‘Cause I’m not seeing any other way for your desired end to happen.

    Oh my Roz! I hope she just keeps her “Evil Scheme (TM)” at the “look what I’ve got stored on this flash drive” level, and not publicize it. I’m sure the university has a faculty code of conduct that says something about lecturers’ relationships with guest lecturers….

    Blackmail tip 1: The power of the threat is greater than the power of the execution (thank you, Aaron Nimzovich). Blackmail tip 2: If the victims escalate, it’s not pretty.

      I seriously doubt Roz wants to blackmail Robin – methinks she would rather have Robin out of politics entirely. She probably thinks that politics is making Robin a bad person (with some justification, based on the past few strips) and probably thinks that destroying her political career would be a good thing for *both* Robin and herself.

      The probably is just seeing Leslie as a tool in this though – collateral damage. Though if Robin really does get together with her in the long run it might work out anyway.
