In this strip, why the hell not? Give her a palace and a coach & four, too.

Although with a few alterations, she could complete her transformation to the little girl in The Ring.

So, what are the chances Nomad's daughter turns out to be really cool (by crazy Phantom family standards) and a perfect fit to be molded (in a positive way of course!) into becoming the male twin's bride?

More like what are the chances that it's completely irrelevant because this will all be called off or retconned so the characters can stay exactly the same age forever?

Well, in one case it was just unfortunate timing, and probably an editor not paying attention.

The other case is the tone deafness that comes from a lifetime of dedicated practice.

While that one's the most aggressive, it does match the general feeling over there. Because it would be awful if a single college girl went on a date with a guy she wasn't completely in looooooove with and gently caress him for being the only person in this strip (besides Tiff) willing to directly tell somebody he likes them. Dude might have hidden depths, though. He can read papers while looking at the back, for example.

Given that the farm in question has been depicted above the clouds, Sluggo would be dead if it wasn't a comedy strip.

e: If you ballpark the building height at 400 m (probably an underestimate considering the Empire State Building is 381 m) and the egg at a reasonable .05 kg it's hitting at a speed of roughly 319 km/hr.

Terminal velocity for an egg is fairly low, he's fine.

I'm seeing terminal velocities in the 160 km/hr range, that's still basically taking an egg-shaped fastball to the top of the head.

The egg would be hard-boiled by the time it reached Sluggo due to air friction creating an immense amount of heat. His head would be caved in, and the egg would lodge itself several feet into the sidewalk after piercing the rest of his body. Nancy would have severe injuries from the shrapnel and concussion wave caused by the impact.

:viggo:

You forget that sluggo is a poor, starving orphan, and his ability to eat hard-boiled eggs is > 1200 HBM, at least three orders of magnitude over the baseline.

For comparison, you get a number below 0.1 HBM when assessing Smash Mouth

Judging by the fact that she's changed hands, (and places in space in relation to Mary, seemingly) I think someone off-panel is throwing them at her, and she's swatting them away.

It's a pretty ubiquitous term for young people in general, I hear it all the time on campus from people I wouldn't really consider nerdy. Basically it's a way to easily tell a person who thinks its worse to be temporarily annoyed or inconvenienced by someone reminding their friend that "fag" and "oval office" are probably bad things to call people or that a black person might not be comfortable in a group that keeps making racist jokes, than for someone to actually do those things.
