654; Strategic ripping of clothing?

Since Pat has on his knife-proof shirt, we're gonna be seeing some giant abs, it seems. Also, I'm a tad worried- yeah, Pat's a badass, but is he overestimating his ability to deal with the giant? Eek! I hope not....

Why in the world is the Girl standing back and letting him take the fight? Isn't "his bodyguard" pretty much the Girl's self-assigned role? Also, we've already seen that she's the better fighter.

The why is explained here in the forum.

Somewhere (I can't find it now) I thought Hope finds out Patrick has been holding back. She's very very good and with sixth sense talents that Patrick doesn't have but in regular sparing we haven't seen him at full throttle yet.

Others please correct me if I'm remembering this wrong.

They have both gotten over themselves as being "better" than the other. He spent most of the first 300 strips worried about keeping her safe until he learned otherwise, and she's finally getting over the idea that he needs her protection now that she's seen him in action. I love it when characters can shut up about things. :-)

Edited for formatting.

Ok, that makes a lot more sense, thanks for the explanation. Btw, is "Hope" now the Girl's official canonical name? If so, when did that happen? (The Characters page gives Patrick's full name, but still calls her just "the Girl".)

Well, it's certainly official with US the reading public. Otter hasn't said if we're right yet.

But We The People must know better than the author, right? :-)

See also: this thread about strip 644. It's just the most recent in a number of "ouija board" sessions we've held trying to divine "The Girl"'s name.

Little drops of water, little grains of sand ....

I think "Hope" is pretty well established, and I'd be willing to bet a few bucks that her last name is Blackwell.

Could be Blackwood.

Eh. Try saying Hope Blackwood- it sounds wrong. When we had some guesses that her name was Claire, I thought it sounded wrong, and since I was right once...

So I shall go out on a limb and state that I think it's Hope Blackwell.

Edit: Sorry for the double post, the forum has been acting up on me. I can't see threads, I only only read by clicking on the replies button and then reading each individual reply... bother.

http://www.agirlandherfed.com/comic/?574 was what pretty much convinced me "Hope" is her first name. Not at the time mind you (WORDPLAY!), but it certainly makes sense with all the other presented evidence.

Fed better get some chapstick or something, those lips in panel 4 look painful! >:)

And here I came over to the forum just to comment how much I loved her devilish grin in the last panel..

Maybe I'm just jealous I can't replicate it in the scary RL place. :D
