Faye's facial expresion >giggle< in panel 3 is still causing me to have >giggle< giggling fits >giggle<... hurr hurr hurr 'Giggling' is a funny word >giggle<.

PS: I may or may not >giggle< be "suffering" from sleep madness >gurk<

[nichidani]

i am a big fan of faye's pee jig and her face in panels three and four. very funny and realistic, because having to pee desperately is a horrible thing and necessitates horrible facial expressions.

You may need to go to a nice wine store to find some Chocolate stouts, as well as a world of other beers you may have been unaware of. My personal favorite chocolate stouts are made my Rogue and Southern Teir. Youngs Double Chocolate stout is okay and probably easiest to find, but it's fairly unbalanced and best served with food.(Deep chocolate desserts, etc.) Brooklyn makes a chocolate stout that isn't too bad either. My only complaint with that one is it is much more malty compared to the others, but that maltiness may indeed suit your taste.

Thanks, noted. :>

I don't think Dora was that bad before, it was only really one or two incidents that she realized she was wrong about right after.  If Dora was really that possessive she would have insisted Marten end the friendship with Faye long ago.  She's the only other one in that cast he could have realistically ended up with.

I dunno, I think if Hanners loosened up a little she would want to be with our pal Marty.

[wargrafix]

where is Raven? Its been quite a long time

Even if Marten wasn't with Dora, it's not like there are a whole lot of alternatives; Steve is with the library girl (probably), Sven is too unfaithful for her, Jimbo is too drunk all the time, and that leaves...Agent Turing?

[LeeC]

Nah, I say of faye did hook up with a random dude from the series it would be amir.

[nichidani]

um, has everyone forgotten about angus?

[CleverConveyence]

Last time I saw a comic strip this funny I was reading the newspaper.

:\

Oh well, can't be gems everyday.  Gotta have a dud sometime...

[Delirium]

where is Raven? Its been quite a long time

Holy frell, have patience. With an absence this long, her return will be awesome.

[Juniper Jade]

Or there won't be a return.

[Delirium]

Not very damn likely. Raven's just too cute and awesome a character to feed to the allosauri.

[Juniper Jade]

I keep telling myself that but you never know. D:

[Delirium]

Marten apparently reads the forums.

[NeverQuiteGoth]

Marten apparently reads the forums.

Damn, I was about to make that joke. My hat's off to your quickness, sir.

[wargrafix]

Martin looks like he's going to have alot of fun.  ^_^

[snubnose]

Ok, just for the record: I have absolutely not even the most remote clue what Marten is talking about in his last statement.

[pwhodges]

Best to keep it that way...

[Border Reiver]

but no matter what he means- it would likely be the truth.

[Caleb]

10 minutes of back and forth apologizing.

I wonder what the music track for that scene would be?

[Border Reiver]

does it matter if no one watches it?

[St.Clair]

Okay, now he's just mocking us.

[jonarus_drakus]

Okay, now he's just mocking us.

DING!

Especialy since there was an alarming amount of creepyness occuring in the chat portion of the ustream broadcast. I recall Jeph actualy telling people to tone it down at one point. And while he was trying to work to! Sometimes i worry for the human race...

[Juniper Jade]

Hahahaha! I have to agree that Jeph is just making fun of us now. And I like it.

Also, Marigold's fumblings with words and such made me "D'aaaaaw"

[The Duke]

Nah, I say of faye did hook up with a random dude from the series it would be amir.

um, has everyone forgotten about angus?

*smacks head*

Yes, I did forget about Angus.  And Amir, but we haven't seen him in a while, so that's more understandable.

[nichidani]

yeah, that was the first thing i thought when i read today's comic.

i cannot even really express how much marigold/hannelore shippers creep me out. or the absurd number of dudes that pop up and say "oh hannelore is my dream girl, (insert various other creepy and probably sexual things)"

i am sure jeph's freaked-outedness is exponentially higher than mine, since they are his own characters.

[LeeC]

hahah I said random character in the series, not likley character in the series. 

but yes hanners marigold shippers are a bit disturbing and I think that was Jeph mocking them.

[Kugai]

Yes


Misdirection



Surprise!!!

[Delirium]

To be honest, shipping Hannigold appealed to the tragedian in me, not the yuri fan.

[LTK]

Well, we finally know: http://twitter.com/marigoldfarmer/status/3256629441

That is the reason that he gave on the forums. Too many shippers.

[nichidani]

shippers are generally kind of creepy. i mean, the vehement and weird ones anyway.

[H0b0K!n9]

Vehement and weird people period are generally creepy....shippers just make it worse......>_<

[plethora]

This. There is a difference between "I like this pairing because it is hot/funny/fun to read/whatever" and "zomg you will never convice me that Harry and Draco/Sam and Dean/Jared and Jensen/Dom and Elijah aren't canon/having their relationship covered up by a PR conspiracy!"

[Kugai]

But why shouldn't they think that.


After all, Seven and B'Elanna's on Voyager was!!

[nichidani]

i am a big fan of the last panel in tonight's comic. ^^ especially the ripply burp effect.

and faye is being a lot nicer this comic, probably due to copious amounts of alcohol (hence the bubbles around their heads).

[Zombiedude]

I really don't get the point of burping names.

[nichidani]

it's fun, i guess. i never really burp words on purpose, but if i happen to have a burp while i'm talking i usually don't stop.

[Is it cold in here?]

Faye's sort of the opposite of a mean drunk: she's mean when she's sober.

Should she be getting drunk, though? She could lapse back into having a Problem.

"Mar-mar" would be a fun nickname, foreshadowed by the Dora/Marten dialog consisting entirely of saying just that.

Name-burping has also come up before, with Faye having trouble burping "Whitaker".

[nichidani]

eh, it's been a while. and it's in a social setting, it's not like she's drinking at work or by herself. i think she's ok.

[Zombiedude]

Faye's sort of the opposite of a mean drunk: she's mean when she's sober.

I believe they are called happy drunks.

[Kugai]

Well, now we know what's happened whenever Faye's happy like this   


I think Mari(bear)gold has Faye beat.

[danman]

"Mar-mar" would be a fun nickname, foreshadowed by the Dora/Marten dialog consisting entirely of saying just that.

Also Marble-san , which would make fun of more than one aspect of her, yet be faster to pronounce than her name

[soniku64]

How about Tagete?

[Binary]

I feel the urge to point out that today's strip makes it clear that Marigold's shirt slogan is actually

SCIENCE
  IS A VERB NOW

(not "IT'S...")

- Pedantic Pete

Edit: And I still have no idea what that actually means...

[LeeC]

I think Mar-Mar is too much like Pen Pen.  But I admit I do like that because of the non-sense converstion Dora and Marten had.  But I think Mar Bear is cool.

[maddness]

My nickname is Mari ... I think I'd have to punch anyone who called me Mar-Mar ... probably in the face. I normally don't like to hit people in the face, but I'd make an exception.

That's worse than when I was a kid and my schoolmates tried to tease me by calling me eskimo or esquirrel ... yeah, they were lame, but it was mostly because they didn't have the guts to be mean to me.

[SigPig]

Ok I have to ask this question only because I've seen it used quite abit.  What is a "shipper"?

[danman]

Ok I have to ask this question only because I've seen it used quite abit.  What is a "shipper"?

AFAIK, shippers are those sick and depraved people , who take random two (usually both female ) chars, and then disgustingly fantasize about them engaging in intercourse and indeed call it fanfic

UPDATE: FIX'D !!!
