Since when is "Jeff" a female name? This is the first time I have ever heard that name used for a female.
Yes, my name is Jeff, and I'm a dude.

You just have to read the comic to understand.

Well, you just have to read it in general. I can't explain Scud in a message board comment.

The inner 12 year old that's never left my body is ecstatically jumping up and down right now. My childhood is now complete.
