I still don't understand what makes Riff such a chick magnet. Surly. Uncommunicative. Defensive. Uninterested in anything except blowing things up. The trench coat and shades look hasn't been fashionable since around 2005. He meets a lot of strange women, that Riff.

I think Riff is supposed to be less than 40 years old. Ten thousand days is over 27 years. Some of Riff's relationships have lasted a lot longer than mere days, and he's often been busy having various adventures. Hypothetically he might have had periods when he had entire harems of girlfriends and replaced them all every day, but we haven't seen anything like that in the comic.

I think "tens of thousands" is a little bit exaggerated.

Did you really have to do the math to try to determine that people tend to exaggerate? lol.

I can kinda see Torg's logic in bringing Oasis along. I mean, one way or another, Sasha won't work for hC anymore.

Looking back at this strip, maybe Torg would be better off bringing Zoe.

Plus, Oasis has tried to kill both Gwynn and Sasha, so she'll be impartial. You know, probably.

Wait, Riff is a gadget master, secretive, just disappeared into thin air, has long flowing hair, is on a vengeance filled quest to kill a merchant and has a lover who wants to kill him.... Dude is a ninja. No woman can resist the silent yet profound stare of this modern day Shinobi.
Or he's Batman. Kinda like that one Halloween.

And he has a straight up 8 pack.

Also, Riff is the direct descendent of the god of Justice. There ain't nothing sexier than JUSTICE

Strong silent protector type. With a smidgen of "bad boy" thrown in.

For much the same reason Mr. Spock was a chick magnet: https://deepfriedscifi.wordpress.com/2013/04/15/the-trek-ual-allure-of-mr-spock/

I might be entirely too boring but if I met a vengeance-obsessed ninja, I would think "stay away, probably dangerous, sounds like a complete nutbag".

I don't know about boring... Try "sane" - given that Gwynn and Sasha are two of the most stable of Riff's girlfriends....
