[STRIPS] Megatokyo - "SQUIRCH!"
Antonio E. Gonzalez
took me a moment to notice what Yuki is doing. At first I thought the
computer thing was from earlier in the day, but it turns out it's her
darting back and forth from the dinner table (*very* rude, BTW), and
her brother subtly noticing this. The payoff, of course, is the
"trap" he sets for the final panel; in an age of "Rick-Rolling," nice
to see someone remember one of the classics!:

Yeah, as a super-fast moving Magical Girl at a family dinner with guests
and with a teenagers super-urgent need to text somebody, she thinks she
can get away with it. But it still took long enough that the bro
noticed; even typing that fast, still takes some time to read, type and
send. Surprised he noticed; wonder how much he knows about her being an
'MG'. And I gotta wonder what typing that fast is going to do to that
poor keyboard...

You can't beat an oldie but a goodie. :)

Add to the fact that, while Masamichi, Erika, and the jackass may not
notice, Meimi certainly would have.

Oh, I'm fairly sure the Japanese make reinforced computer (and phone)
keyboards for MG's and others (how would Goku, Ranma, etc, ever get online
if they didn't? Lum probably supports herself by stress testing them).
The real question is, how long ago did Meimi shoplift one for Yuki?

constant leaving and returning. Plus, the rest are probably
more distracted by their conversation and by "the jackass'"
hijinks.
