| Feminine Problems | Susan: I have to admit, that movie wasn't totally terrible.

/ Nanase:... http://egscomics.com/d/20030722.html |

| Tearful Acceptance | [[Three panels: Nanase looking, in order, upset, frustrated, and in despair.]]
/ Nanase: When we were going out, I thought you'd make a good boyfriend because of your personality, but I was never attracted to you. I kept trying to be, but nothing we ever did worked for me! And then came Ellen, and I felt... http://egscomics.com/d/20030730.html |
| Why...? | Elliot: I'm sorry that I don't really have any useful advice... / Nanase: It's ok; you help well enough just by listening. There's nothing you can say that could "fix" this.

/ Nanase: Why? Are you trying... http://egscomics.com/d/20030731.html |

| Night's End | [[Ellen returns to the kitchen.]]

| Productive Peeping | Grace: I think I remember! Hedge was probably talking about the place where we were born! / Tedd: You sure? Didn't Damien trash that place? Why would Hedge go there?
/ Grace: I-I don't know, but Damien called my birthplace "the nest" once, and that's the only "nest" I can think of. / Sarah: So then... http://egscomics.com/d/20031201.html |
| Next Comic: Another Unnecessary Origin Story! | [[Interior Tedd's house]] / [[observing suit-up antics]] Susan: Meh. Those skin-tight suits would look better on Justin.

| PB Special Features: The Tale of the Lady Graces | Dan: Grace was not originally Grace, but there was a Grace in her place.

| Drat! I Was Wondering Too! | Grace: How'd you get in here?

/ Grace: ...thanks, but no.
/ Ellen: Really? You sure? Not even about why you haven't "re-grown" you antennae?
/ Grace:... http://egscomics.com/d/20041111.html |

/ Justin:... http://egscomics.com/d/20041206.html |
| Mooching Tease Pimp | Diane: Nanase, once again I'd like to offer you the opportunity to sit with myself, Lucy, and Rhoda.
/ Nanase: Sorry Diane, but I have no interest in luring boys over to your table so you can manipulate them into spending money on you. / Diane: You always seem to miss the point that they'd also buy YOU... http://egscomics.com/d/20041208.html |
