After coming home from school, [[Professor Awesome|Eric]] drops in on [[Kim (Parallax)|Kim]] and [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny Everywhere]], feeling “cranky” after getting in a row with a girl in his class, [[Judy (Misunderstandings)|Judy]], which [[Eric's mother|his mother]] didn't understand. Assuming that she is dealing with Eric's first romantic disappointment, Kim begins to try and give him advice on how to deal with rejection, disappoint or heartbreak, with questionable input from Jenny (whose past experiences include a guy she liked having turned out to be [[Prince of the Lizard Kingdoms|the Lost Prince of the Lizard Kingdoms]] and a [[Tintin|cute Belgian kid]] having no awareness of her romantic overtures). When they finally let him get a word in edgewise, however, Eric makes it clear there was never anything of the sort between him and Judy, and they are simply rivals due to her wanting to do a robotics project, despite not being a “mad scientist” in the same way as Eric. Contrite, Kim promises to stay off the subject now and offers to help Eric with his maths homework. | After coming home from school, [[Professor Awesome#Kim and Jenny's neighbour|Eric]] drops in on [[Kim (Parallax)|Kim]] and [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny Everywhere]], feeling “cranky” after getting in a row with a girl in his class, [[Judy (Misunderstandings)|Judy]], which [[Eric's mother|his mother]] didn't understand.

* A “long time ago”, Kim “lived with a lot of other women”, during which time she learned that not all women were interested in relationships with other women (something she conveys through the improbable euphemism “Some women are happy to stay up late perusing a map of [[Tasmania]] – and some aren’t”). | * A “long time ago”, Kim “lived with a lot of other women”, during which time she learned that not all women were interested in relationships with other women (something she conveys through the improbable euphemism “Some women are happy to stay up late perusing a map of [[Tasmania]] – and some aren’t”). | ||
* The [[Mole Person|Mole People]] invaded “last winter”, but concentrated their efforts on Jenny's apartment building.

* [[David Lowe|David]] apparently has a cautionary tale he could tell [[Professor Awesome|Eric]] about the perils of building a girlfriend for oneself, but it is “not Kim's story to tell” and something which Eric would possibly best wait until he's older before hearing about. | * [[David Lowe|David]] apparently has a cautionary tale he could tell [[Professor Awesome#Kim and Jenny's neighbour|Eric]] about the perils of building a girlfriend for oneself, but it is “not Kim's story to tell” and something which Eric would possibly best wait until he's older before hearing about. | ||
* Jenny once had a crush on a “[[Tintin|Belgian reporter kid]]” with a “goofy cowlick”, but “got nowhere” trying to make him reciprocate or even realise her feelings, as he was “completely clueless about women”. | * Jenny once had a crush on a “[[Tintin|Belgian reporter kid]]” with a “goofy cowlick”, but “got nowhere” trying to make him reciprocate or even realise her feelings, as he was “completely clueless about women”. | ||
