[Akima]

Red Scarf? (Insert confused American look here:  )

At the age of six, like pretty much every schoolchild in China, I was inducted into the Young Pioneers (AKA the 红领巾 or "Red Scarves") by having a red scarf tied round my neck by the leader of my detachment. I was implying that I was coming on like a doctrinaire little commie: "Vigorously crush the parasite landlord class!"... 

I hear "RTFM" most often when someone asks a question in public [ ... ]

FTFY

No, I think "see RTFM" is is most likely; in forums, newsgroups, mailing lists etc. And it is irritating when people ask for help without either reading the manual, FAQs and HOWTOs, OR searching the archives for the twenty-two dozen times someone has asked and been answered before, OR including sufficient information to allow anybody to help even if they wanted to: "I'm can't get <software> working under <OS>. Help plz?". I'm doing it again, aren't I?

Back to the comic. I don't think sit-ups do much to burn calories, so the girls punished themselves to no purpose. But they should have saved a cupcake for Marten, so... Karma?

[Method of Madness]

In panel 1, it looks like something else is bursting. 

 

[TinPenguin]

The first time we've seen her there, I think.

No, we have seen her back at the apartment once since the break-up, which was during the space arc. It is the first time we've seen her there at the same time as Marten, though.

[Barmymoo]

Slydon is making comments about Faye's breasts, I think.

I am always amazed by those Yahoo Answers questions, because if they had simply googled the matter, they'd have got the answer without being all "can you put shoes in the dishwasher?" on Yahoo.

[pwhodges]

No, we have seen her back at the apartment once since the break-up, which was during the space arc. It is the first time we've seen her there at the same time as Marten, though.

Are you sure?  I can only remember this, which is in CoD.

[TinPenguin]

Last panel.

[DrBear]

I'm a bit late, but after the WHAT IS STEAMPUNK? cartoon, it finally dawned on me that no one has made any
"Farmer's daughter" jokes about or to Marigold.

She'd probably do something to them.

[Border Reiver]

Marty's reponse is the only one that makes sense.

[Redball]

Red Scarf? (Insert confused American look here:  )

At the age of six, like pretty much every schoolchild in China, I was inducted into the Young Pioneers (AKA the 红领巾 or "Red Scarves") by having a red scarf tied round my neck by the leader of my detachment. I was implying that I was coming on like a doctrinaire little commie: "Vigorously crush the parasite landlord class!"... 

I Googled the term and almost got the context.

[mike837go]

WOW! Marten got a snarky line.

What is this comic coming to?

[Throg]

Soooo--that's it? Ex-gf just comes on over, collapses on the couch in a cupcake coma, and Marten is completely blase about it?

Don't get me wrong: I like Dora, and I like the depiction of Dora and Faye's friendship; but the utter absence of *any* friction between Marten and Dora seems just a little bit off.

*shrug*

[LordVaughn]

Its capable of happening if both people have moved on well enough. Especially if the reasoning for the breakup wasn't entirely as harsh as some worse situations.

[jwhouk]

WOW! Marten got a snarky line.

What is this comic coming to?

Getting back to its roots, apparently. Used to be Faye and Marten would exchange the snarky last lines in the past.

[jmucchiello]

Oh and someone alert the media! QC has turned into a SOAP! °O

Hasn't it always been a SOAP? Granted in webcomics they usually refer to them as "slice of life" comics. But really, there are plenty of over the top elements to QC that it has qualified as a Soap Opera for most of its run. About the only thing it is missing is miscellaneous backstabbing and baby kidnappings.

Hmm, are you sure that Pintsize doesn't do that during his absence?  Speaking of which, what happened to Pintsize?

[cesariojpn]

Speaking of which, what happened to Pintsize?

Still trading butt commentary with Station I guess.....

[mustang6172]

Did today's comic remind anyone of "The Walrus and the Carpenter?"

[Carl-E]

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
       "You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?" 
        But answer came there none -
Ad this was scarcely odd, because
        they'd eaten every one. 


I memorized it in high school. 

[Method of Madness]

I've never actually read it, but I remember it being mentioned in Dogma, and I do love that movie.

[Tova]

No sympathy for self-inflicted wounds.

[techkid]

No sympathy for self-inflicted wounds.

Meh, I'd have done the exact same thing (in either Faye, Dora or Marten's shoes).

[jwhouk]

MOTY MOTY, MOTY, can't you see? Sometimes your polls just hypnotize me...
