December 2000: Pen and Colored Pencils.

Caption: May: “People Date On the ‘Net, They Have Sex, They Get Married . . . All Without Seeing Each Other.”

Explanation: Ivy’s first adventure on an Internet chat at her friend Ami’s house ends in the disturbing revelation that filthy people can hit on her without even seeing her face.

IVY TRIVIA: As you might imagine, Ivy is not a good typist. Eventually, in THTIB #4, Ivy does learn to type, but has to invent her own method, since having no pinkies makes things difficult. Typing is too complicated a task even for Ivy’s energy, so this is one thing she has to do like anyone else.
