[ID: A Part Of The Original Flatland Book Is Mentioned:

[ID: A part of the original Flatland book is mentioned:

"My Wife as well as myself heard the words, although she did not understand their meaning, and both of us sprang forward in the direction of the sound. What was our horror when we saw before us a Figure! At the first glance it appeared to be a Woman, seen sideways; but a moment's observation shewed me that the extremities passed into dimness too rapidly to represent one of the Female Sex; and I should have thought it a Circle, only that it seemed to change its size in a manner impossible for a Circle or for any regular Figure of which I had had experience.

But my Wife had not my experience, nor the coolness necessary to note these characteristics. With the usual hastiness and unreasoning jealousy of her Sex, she flew at once to the conclusion that a Woman had entered the house through some small aperture." End ID]

A. Sphere our androgynous king

[ID: a digital doodle comic of the poster's own version of the scene, as follows:

A. Sphere seems to be looking at the back of his fingertips, while A. Square and his wife, Mrs. Frau A. Line argue.

Mrs. Frau A. accuses "Thats a woman!! Why is there a lady in here!?"

"No thats not a-" A. Square replies.

Mrs. Frau A. cuts him off "were you hiding her?!?"

A. Square, seemingly embarrassed at her implications replies "No!"

Mrs. Frau A. Line, having enough scuttles closer to A. Sphere. "Fine! Then I guess I'll have to touch her myself!"

A. Square shouts. "Wait!" But before he could stop her, Mrs. Frau A. had already touched A. Sphere. everyone seems to be silent for a moment...

Mrs. Frau A. scuttles backwards, embarassed that she may have just felt a Perfect Circle, an action seemingly disrespectful in Flatland. "Oh." She says dumbfounded. A. Square is bummed that he just saw his wife get close to another.. man? like that.

Mrs. Frau A. Line recovers and quickly releases her peace-cries while running out of the room. A. Sphere is very confused about this entire interaction. A. Square thinks to himself "my turn.." seemingly curious about how A. Sphere feels as well. End ID.]

And my own version of that scene...
