From her body language in this strip versus before her ‘chat’ with Tarra, Pumpkin is definitely taking the whole self-confidence and center-of-attention personality traits to heart.

Which is not necessarily the best thing. Tarra might be speaking Word-of-God when it comes to the core personality and demeanor of “Buckingham women”, or, just as likely she might just be speaking Word-of-Tarra, who as we have started to learn is a foolhardy egoist who leaves ugly messes in her wake.
Still, if this is a mistake (or Her Destiny) there is only one way to learn it and have a chance the lesson sticks. So let’s sit back and break out the popcorn.

“a foolhardy egoist who leaves ugly messes in her wake” IS the core Buckingham personality trait though.

Exactly. Having the power and having any idea how to wield it are two completely different things.
I have a feeling this will backfire and get ugly fast.

Is that the gay guy that Ellie used to work with at the McDonalds knockoff? If not, he looks an awful lot like him. If so, Pumpkin’s boobs are far more powerful than I thought!

No, I think this is the OTHER guy. The guy who was one of Santa’s elves and staring speculatively at Anise, who, when confronted with a mall Santa, promised that she would do undefined “sexy things” that Mrs. Claus wouldn’t do.

It takes confidence to deliver that line, with her mouth full even. Kudos to Quinn. Kudos to Rosemary on the salad.

Further to that, when was the last time you saw someone draw a person talking with food in their mouth convincingly? Manners aside (seriously, we all do this IRL, can we agree?) So Pumpkin’s body proportions are unreal, but it isn’t because Chris can’t draw bodies!

Unless there is a canonical reference I have missed, we are not sure if Quinn is straight — only that she has said she likes boys.
And why? If she is 100% heterosexual, why not just come out and say it and leave no room for hedging and fussing and assuming and misinterpreting and doubt? It’s not like there is any stigma attached to “coming out” as straight. With straightness announced, she gives Pumpkin only two options: cease her futile efforts with a scintilla of grace, or double-down on being a nuisance and ruining the friendship. As it is, since she has not shut and locked the door, she is enabling a continuing trickle of low-level flirting and continuing attention and interest. Is that what she is after? A steady stream of feeling wanted that she does not have to make effort to acquire? A feeling of being desired that makes up in quantity what it loses in quality?
I really really there is some sort of story-based answer that is not simply kicking the can further down the road for later drama.

Pumpkin’s extremely buxom chest is certainly her main and most beautifull/advantageous feature. There’s no denying that and we must thank Chris for that! ^_^
But the rest of her body and feminine curves are certernly not to be overlooked too either!! Look at that perfect hourglass body shape and those slender curvaous waist,hips and thigh! Not to mention also those marvelous and perfectly feminine legs. She really is gifted by nature and slowly becoming has busty and beautifull as Ellie. You go girl!!!! ♥

The trope comes from an old wives’ tale that when a teenager filled to the brim with hormones sees something arousing, their blood pressure rises to the point that it causes a nosebleed.

Again. I can’t help, but respect Pumpkin’s taste in women. Also, just because a guy has a preference for guys, doesn’t mean he won’t go after chicks. I’ve known a good few guys who presented themselves as gay, but I would later learn were fathers of several kids from several different women.

Hasn’t her taste in women just been Quinn and some even older woman who wanted to keep her from her friends and control her?

Which is why I think that Pumpkin is making choices based on who she feels comfortable talking to. I.e., opening up on what she shares when talking to people. I think the storm of Katrina saw something and prised open to see what was inside. With Quinn, I think that Pumpkin led herself astray because she felt comfortable talking to her. Some of the common interests seemed to cement the fixation.
