From Russia, With Lust Part 10
Introducing Svetlana Butusov, one of Vlad's associates.
Work has been extremely taxing (HA!) so I'll try to continue the updates the next three weeks, but it won't be multiple pages, to be sure. Sorry it's going a little slowly, but considering how seldom I typically post this time of year it's better than nothing

Oh my, the cute puppy pout eyes are back; GEORGYI LOOKS SO KYOOOTE IN 'EM!!! X3
*pokes Vlad in the shoulder; speaks in Russian* "[So, what now Vlad?]" *tries scritching his ears* (Yeah, I forgot to mention about my bear-mage: he's multilingual; I'm bilingual in RL: Spanish and English) ^^;;;

Not sure what is going on, but I can't wait to see what Vlad's plan actually is ^^
But in one point he is right, glasses can be depressing
I hope tax season ends before you reach the final stage (or even stage three)

Yup, Georgiy is absolutely adorable, no doubt about it. New lady Svetlana is cute too, at least on a first impression. Wonder what the heck Vlad is planning to use her in his nefarious scheme.
But man, Karl is seriously going off the deep end here, first with the constant lack of explanations. And then there's "Before you"? "Before you?" Really? He actually went there? Wow, Karl, you are a douchebag.

I do agree with Georgiy being adorable there. But as for Cody's dad, it's not like he can explain about Vlad's past about being an ex-KGB agent that easily in public (or if Cody would even believe it the first time he hears it).
The "before you" comment is rather iffy though. I could see it as him trying to be supportive of Cody being gay by teasing him about it, but it would come off being awkward.

Well, my interrogative is that considering how far away Russia is from the U.S, it's not like there couldn't be an excuse. Karl doesn't have to say he's got an ex-KGB agent as a brother, he could just say something like he has an older brother in Russia that he hasn't seen in ages and they're out of touch and hopes the family can meet him sometime. Whatever the case may be, we'll likely be eharing an explanation in due time.
And in regards to Karl's comment, I dunno, I think it's already been made clear that Karl is cool with Cody being gay, so I can't see how his attempt at a joke there has anything to do with that. But I already made it clear what I thought about it. lol

Man, you seem determined to dislike everyone in Cody's family except Georgiy, aren't you? :P
I actually thought that was fricking hilarious, not a douchebag moment. Really, it's no worse than any parent teasing their kids about their love lives. So unless you're just against parents doing that on principle, regardless of sexuality...and if you are, well...you should take a chill pill, bud, because parents do that all the time and it doesn't make them douchebags.

I like Martha well enough.
And no, sorry, I don't buy it. There's teasing and then there's sticking a foot in your mouth. I mean, one's got to feel for Cody here. All of a sudden there are two strangers who he learns are family, whom he had never even heard of before, with no explanations from his dad, who's being overly secretive about things, and I still don't understand why. He really just could never say he has a brother and nephew who live in Russia? Forget secret agent stuff, lots of people have family members who live in other countries, so where's the issue in just telling his wife and son "we have family in Russia, I hope you can meet them someday"?
The cousin is like a not-perverted version of Jake, though of course it'll take Cody a bit to get used to a big, rambunctious, huggy snuggy personality like his. And then the uncle is, well, not exactly easy to deal with when he's humorless, overly serious, and has probably less tact than I do, who now wants to fuck Cody's heterosexual childhood friend. Not seduce. Fuck. Cody seems upset about it, for good reason. Who wouldn't be? And Karl pulls that off? Really? It cannot be that Cody's protective about his childhood friend who is like a brother to him, no, Karl has to basically go "you're just mad because he may get to fuck Todd and you couldn't". Yeesh...

I meant the men.
Like I said: you're bound and determined to dislike all the men in Cody's family except Georgiy and nothing anyone says will change your mind. I should just give up...but I will still say this anyway. You yourself don't like Vlad, you think he's an ass, a douche, cold, and so on. So if you were Karl, would you want to admit he existed to your family? Heck for all we know he could be worried that Vlad would try to fuck Cody! And again, it seemed to me Karl was just trying to lighten the mood, and incidentally show he's okay with Cody's sexuality...plus, he likely knew Todd pretty well as he and Cody were growing up, so he likely has a pretty good idea how amenable Todd may or may not be to Vlad's advances, or susceptible to his tricks. Which tells me he can tease Cody like this because he knows damn well Vlad will never get what he wants. :P
I also find it sad that you still seem unable to give Vince the benefit of the doubt that he will explain all this in the head. Not to mention you're taking way too seriously something Vince came up with just fun. And, this is as much Dev's creation as his, so if something doesn't strike you right or pisses you off, you should blame him instead of just Vince, since you don't know who's responsible for what.
If it makes you feel any better though, 'Yama pretty much agrees with you. :P

Like father like son? Iunno. Dislike father dislike son I guess in this case ;-p
Well, there is some truth in "would you be as mad if you had succeeded first?"
I've learned I can't really change yer mind much So hopefully you'll stick around for Georgiy. You should like Sveti as far as I know.

I disliked Cody in regards to that ultra elaborate lie to his parents and in some instances with Doug (which can be forgiven in a way due to his inexperience with relationships), but that was about it, if I remember correctly (and he still has the most Crowning Moment of Awesome in the entire comic's run). Right now I feel sorry for the dude, having to put up with all this. Karl I've disliked since he showed himself positively giddy at the idea of Cody being a cheating womanizer. From that moment on, in my eyes, he was a dilf no more. XD
As for the whole Todd thing, I think the difference is that Cody's always been respectful about anybody's sexual preferences, Todd's included of course. So seeing his newfound, humorless uncle outright say he's going to fuck Todd and not care about Todd's preferences, well, that could make any friend mad. The fact that Karl's teasing him about Cody not being able to fuck Todd first is just harsh.
And who wouldn't stick around for Georgiy? The guy is like muscular cotton candy.

Am I the only one who hasn't gathered this from the strip so far?
You make SUUUCH a big deal of otherwise pretty common and tiny FACTS-OF-LIFE!
1-Karl was being "giddy" at Cody being a womanizer because Cody had, up to now shown ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST in ANY some of people romantically.
It's sort of worrying to most parents to see your kid avoid human relations with a lot of people and you don't know why.
So to Karl , seeing Cody surrounded by tons of girls kinda relieved him.
2- A man (Karl) is only thinking with his DICK . In other news , the sky is blue , water is wet and Snooki can transmit STD's by physical proximity.
3- My father has done cruder jokes to me than Karl has done to Cody and honestly , I laugh at them and don't act all fussy.

1. I think there's a difference between one's son being a ladies man and one's son going around thinking of women as inflatable dolls.
2. I've never really bought the whole "thinking with his dick" thing. For that, I give you this exchange from the always brilliant Golden Girls:
Dorothy- "Well, there are two popular theories. One: Men are victims of an evolutionary process which genetically programs their sexual drives."
Blanche- "What's the other one?"
Dorothy- "Men are scum."
3. My father's played crude jokes on me too. The most famous among the lot left me with a severe phobia that to this day continues to affect me. My point is, sometimes what they think is a joke ends up being in real bad taste.

Oh, and I forgot to ask, I'm curious about Karl's timeline here. From what we've gathered so far, one would say the reason he's been working about and putting on muscles and a toned body is because Vladimir was coming and he probably wanted to impress him or something. At least from events of the comic, right?
Thing is, either Vladimir announced his visit with a lot of time beforehand, or Karl really meant it when he said he's getting buff to not be shown up by Cody. I mean, Karl never seemed like the most athletic guy, he seemed of average build. And it takes some time of routine exercises to start putting on muscles and a toned body, plus Karl is in his mid to late forties, probably early fifties, so it could take maybe a teensy bit longer at that. But when Cody sees him, he notices right away, even through Karl's fancy clothes, that his father has put on muscle. So Karl has to have been working out for some time now.
Yeah, I'm sorry, I get caught up in the tiniest details and spin them into a full-on, out of control web of curiosity. XD

Jeff can tell me whatever he wants, but those sad kitten eyes DO WORK! :-P
*Nate sees London, Nate sees France, Nate sees Svetlana's underpants and faints*
Okay, maybe not, but could happen if he was there... if he reacts in any ways to those situations like you do, V! XD
Btw, you and Dev picked ALL of the Russian's names from James Bond movies? ;-p
Wait, why am I even asking...

I'm fairly certain it's the eyes!
Well, be thankful for that! Ty sure is!
I was more talking about the first names. Admittedly, Vladimir IS as common as Jack, but I watched The Living Daylights the other night and when I heard that the Russian "defector"'s name was Georgiy, I was like "A-ha!" XD

AWWWWW!!! BIG SAD MOURNFUL BEGGAR KITTY EYES!!! That's definitely a genetic trait. I wonder if Georgiy's cluelessness re. slang is just another way of his pretending to be denser than he really is? I love the way he channels Steve Martin and Dan Ackroyd in panel six. ("Two wild and crazy guys!") Ah, what an enterance! Svetlana is obviously a former Olympic gymnast. Love that fluffy tail! I suppose it'd be too much to hope that she and Nate are distant relatives, considereing how silly this is becoming?
This page is insanely hilarious! ROFL. Daddy Frost really "hammered... uhh.. nailed" Cody with that statement! Way to go! I totally didn't see that coming.. specially the way he looks. He looked so calm and cool with it like it was a normal discussion LOL.
OMG fourth panel with Georgiy! He perfected the "puss in boots painfully cute look that could make a grown viking go d'awwwwww!"
Vlad came back with some nice puns as well. "In Beeg Mans Room?! You Vant Details, sick nephew?" LOL.. He considers THAT sick.. when in fact.. he'd be doing something "sicker" hahahaha. I'm starting to love Vlad XD But Karl has more sexiness in him for me *grins*
Oooh.. she doesn't have a Russian Accent I see... interesting. And what would she be doing for Vlad? I can't wait to see this. hehe.. there might be Roofies involved LOL

ROFL I didn't even consider that option. And with you opening it up... I am guessing there's more to the father/son relationship than we thought eh?
Gruff: "Hehe.. well, you're not a puss either... you're more of a cuddly, adorable, ball of fluffy goodness in one meaty, paunchy package."
"I can think of a lot of things you should not be wearing as of the moment"
Careful what you wish for... it just MIGHT happen bwahahahahahaha.. LOL Power of suggestion.. really an incredible thing.
Nah.. thanks for the clarification there though. Some women have strong Russian accents in 'em... and some don't. So, s'all good.

In this fandom, even if there isn't more to that relationship, you can bet the fans are imagining/drawing/writing up things about any number of pairings in the cast. I'm just thankful that it wouldn't produce offspring if it ever transpired. (In a million years, in an alternate universe, when pigs fly...) xD
I'm not sure what makes me laugh harder--the fact (seemingly) Todd is about to get, er, ball-busted by Vlad, or that Karl of all people is teasing Cody about it not being him. Seriously...the fact that his own dad can tease him about something like that with his best friend not only shows Cody was utterly wrong about his parents' reaction to him being gay, it shows Karl at least is FAR more accepting of it than he ever could have imagined.
*tries not to have fantasies now about Karl and Todd...fails*
ROTFL again at Georgiy's cute kitten eyes! Either Jeff is far too jaded or Cody was just that bad at it, because that is priceless! *takes a Georgiy plushie home with him*
*smirks* Vlad knew very well what Cody was talking about, he's just waiting to, ah, "spring" the news on him?
Seeing Svetlana, I can see now why Vlad thinks she will rope Todd in. I just don't know where this is going now. I know that you won't show sex; I also know that you won't allow Todd to get pulled into anything gay even offscreen. What I can't figure out is how this will end any other way, except that it will surely be hilarious. Well, I do have one idea, and it has to with Svetlana getting too into her role. I just hope roofies or anything comparable really aren't involved. That doesn't fit your style, but it also would be way too out-of-line and wrong for you to depict.
One note: you forgot to color Cody's shirt in panel 6; if not for the hair and the dialogue, I would have had trouble figuring out who was who.
No rush of course, we know it's tax season and anyway this is all in fun.

At least we know Cody was worrying too much about coming out to his father.
Cody didn't do the lower lip thingy!
Um.... :pause: I guess all I can say is the usual you'll see. I guess you miss being a beta-reader?
Cody's t-shirt isn't showing, all you would see is his vest. (that's his forearm, not upper arm). And they have different eyemasks and cheek patterns. Oddly, Georgiy inherited Karl's cheek pattern (Cody got his mother's).

Indeed, a wonderful thing to know!
True. Which since I can never see him doing that means he's never going to sway anybody with it. :P
LOL! Yes, yes I do.
I knew that was his vest; it just seemed to me to be much wider than the vest should have been, so that shirt would be showing. But I looked again and I guess his vest is that wide. So, no worries. As for the patterns, you know all stripes look alike to me. :P (Seriously, I'd have to sit down and really study them to see the differences.) I got it from the hair in the end--ironically, that Georgiy's seems to resemble Cody's old do.

I can't effin' BELIEVE I missed this last week!! I was even waiting for it!
Is it possible to fall in love with a comic-character twice? Cause I think I just re-fell for Gregoriy. HE's just so exuberant and loud and happy and big and fluffya nd the eyes and the HOY-vin mayvin.
Also; as hinted to in the other comment I made... I squeal'd. Loudly and embarassingly. Thankfully I wasn't at work :D
