One nailed. That leaves only sloth, greed, lust, vanity, wrath, pride. Mona has in the past manifested sloth, wrath. At least, her wrath is legendary and there is a certain slacker component to her attitude to work. Donna – vanity, greed again. pride? Pierre – certainly lust. Pride. But question arising – how far is gluttony just a specialised function of greed? (Is greed the “indigo” of this particular rainbow?) And here’s one to consider: the earlest theologians considered a quality called “sadness” to be an eighth deadly sin. This covered having a defeatist, pessimist, state of mind, apparently, and emoting too much. So being goth or emo is a deadly sin? Applied to mental stability – well, mona’s record of mental illness would have been thought sinful. Hmm…
No, it is correct. “Your” is used to indicate something about a person like “your clothes”. “You’re” which is short for “you are” is used to indicate an action like “you are not wearing those clothes”.
I believe it SHOULD be “your” when before a gerund. However, that’s generally not how most people speak. I chalk some grammatical errors up to it being just how people speak – grammatically incorrect. At least in America.

Well, I see lust (or is it just confusion?) in Donna’s eyes.

PIERRE! Stop that, this instant!Donna in the last panel appears to be in total shock; she, and we, may never fully recover.
