A brand new week.
(EDIT: Jeph is actually adding two more guest strips over the weekend of November 10-11. This guy REALLY rocks.)
-
"It's a brand new day, the sun is high,..."
Of course Jeph can come back whenever he wants to/is feeling better. It's really sad that this has happened during an arc that he was excited about. We will presumably have guest strip on Monday? Either way, looking forward to Jeph's recovery and eventual continuation of the arc. So far, only Marten has seen Marigold's bikini and his reaction was one of sheer embarrasment. It will be interesting to see how the other characters react.
-
Especially Steve. He'll be in trouble with Cosette soon enough...
And I think Clinton's hand may have it's own ideas about Mari's ... bikini.

Perhaps we will learn how much Claire lies.
-
Especially Steve. He'll be in trouble with Cosette soon enough...
I think we might also see a bit of friction for Tai/Dora, though I couldn't say which one will be annoyed. My initial thought was Dora, but Tai is so deeply infatuated with her that I can see the reaction being more like Marten's back when he'd just gotten together with Dora, and that girl tried to flirt with him at the library. And Dora isn't that attached (yet?), and even a momentary slip on her part is likely to be noticed (and overinterpreted) by Tai.
-
And I think Clinton's hand may have it's own ideas about Mari's ... bikini.
I think his eyes will tell more of what's going on in his head...or, his hand will run amok, and Hanners will remotely shut it down with her hereditary techno-wizard skills.
-
There's plenty of opportunity for ... nuance ... in a Tai-Dora reaction to Marigold. Dora, remember, was fascinated by Marigold's Homeric attributes, and Tai did offer to show Mari her butt, just for calibration purposes.
-
Jeph tweeted that he's looking forward to getting back to work. I hope for new comics but I hope he doesn't start one second before it's good for him to do so.
Next: Marigold asks for a waterproof plastic bag so she can play video games in the lake.

Presumably she already has a waterproof covering for her Nintendo DS (or whatever the portable gaming system is these days), so she can play video games in the shower.
-
I don't see that tweet; but I see:
Here’s where I’m at: GP visit Monday, psychiatrist Tuesday, hand surgery Wednesday. Guest strips for at least part of this week. Thank you.
-
And I have no problem with that at all.
-
That tweet was a while back, on Nov. 2.
-
Hopefully everyone remembered to set their clocks back (if applicable to them).
-
Life is full of setbacks.
-
Did that guest strip remind anyone else of Little Shop of Horrors?
-
No, but it's actually a lot funnier with that connection in mind.
-
Now that you mention it...
I started laughing out loud as soon as Station mentioned emotional maturity. I'm having trouble even thinking of a bit character or one-off character who would qualify.
-
I liked Hannelore's response to "emotional maturity" as being a Venus fly trap. But as IICIH pointed out, there's slim pickings in her social circles.
And as much I would like to see Jeph back, I don't want it to be before he's got his head (and indirectly his hand) back in order. No sense in coming back if you ain't ready...
-
Well they have the emotional maturity to enter into a relationship with another - the question is do they have the emotional maturity to sustain it?
-
Ha! Does anyone?
-
Next: Marigold asks for a waterproof plastic bag so she can play video games in the lake.
Nah, she'll go outside. She'll get DAAAAANNNG'd, feel awkward, and go back to playing games in the house.
I mean, I hope that doesn't happen (except, maybe for the getting danged), but it seems plausible.
-
Interesting. I don't think I even WANT to know what that thing is in panel three.

Excited to see Faye and Sam are listening to Magnetic Fields! Here's the song they're playing if anyone is curious

*DING*
Sam: "Cupcakes are done, miss Faye"
Faye: "Good, take the torch and caramelize the tops with it, OK?"
Sam: "Sure thing!"
-
Okay, anyone can transcribe the entire guest strip today? Parts of it is unreadable.

Faye: You go get 'em Sam.
I'll clean up here.
Angus: Man, what does it take to get a babysitter like you?
Faye: You couldn't afford me, honey.

I could only wish I had a babysitter like Faye growing up. But then my mom would have thought her crazy for letting someone of that age hold a blowtorch.
-
I think I was about 11 when, having done some electrical soldering (little radio shack kits and such), my dad asked if I'd like to learn to solder a pipe. Of course, that was just a propane torch, not a welding torch... but if the kid's big enough, supervised, and safety's taught with it, why not?
-
The background music is One Hundred Thousand Fireflies by The Magnetic Fields. In case you didn't know :wink:
-

A dragon. Like the ones in the new WoW expansion!

comics up its interesting is all im going to say

Too Soon.

I like Spike's comic Templar AZ, but I really just don't get this - anybody able to give me a clue?
-
1: A zebra was introduced to FIM, and she was basically a Magical Negro who performed a parody of vodun.
2: These are two characters from Adventure Time who are frequently (and not entirely unreasonably) shipped. The creators themselves got in on the game in a web-only promotional video, and the network panicked.
3: Uh... I don't know.
-
3) Might be a Team Fortress 2 thing? Possibly? I dunno. Google image seatch on "TF2 characters" makes me think so.
-

To elaborate on what NL said...
1. The zebra was, upon introduction, irrationally feared and hated by the other ponies because she appeared mysterious and lived in a dangerous forest. None of them had ever tried speaking to her before. Prejudgement yay :D (except not.)
2. This is also a reaction every (fem)slash pairing ever has gotten. The shippers often have a knee-jerk reaction to people who simply don't get that ship, accusing them of being homophobic. Not all (fem)slash shippers do this, but the ones that do make the ones that don't look bad ._.
3. Vurogj was right in saying this is a Team Fortress thing. I don't know enough about the games to understand it well, but from what I can gather, perhaps shipping is overshadowing the game itself?
-
Thank you. This, along with some of the recent discussions about tumblr make Mari's line make sense!
-
What show or game or whatever is "Quixotic Enhancements for the Entitled Parasite"? One of those shows where they give expensive things to 16-year-olds for no real reason? Pimp My Ride?
-
I think that last one is supposed to be a whack at shippers in QC-land.
-

...ok, now I'm really confused!
-
I play TF2 and I didn't recognize the third comic until it was pointed out here. Even now that I do recognize it (the Scout is particularly obvious), I still don't really understand the punchline. I guess there's a lot of homoerotic fanfic? I'm clearly not involved deeply enough in the fandom, because I'm completely lost despite playing the game on a fairly regular basis.

I don't think so - it sounds a lot like the spewings from tumblr (what thread was that discussed in? I think it was in chatter?) that would also lead to comics like the ones Pintsize is selling. After all, only an entitled parasite would spend all day on the internet telling anyone who would listen why they can't do anything productive, in cryptic neologisms that are as contradictory as they are impenetrable, then scream "homophobe" at illogical same sex shippings or "racist" at ponies.
...and I also think that, given some of the comments I've read on her comics, Spike (the artiste) has some of the same issues with internet denizens that Jeph does.
So I don't think it's aimed at these forums, which have become one of the nicer neighborhoods on the internet, but rather at the kind of place these forums may once have been, and what many of the unregulated corners of the internet (like tumblr) have become - cesspools, gathering the effluvia of human discourse.
-
The names!
Panel one: Zecora (the Zebra) and a Royal guard from My Little Pony; Friendship is Magic.
Panel Two: Princess Bubblegum and Marceline from Adventure Time.
Panel Three: All character classes from Team Fortress Two. Clockwise: Heavy, Scout, Demoman, and Soldier.

"Handelore".
I love it.
-
I'd give it two thumbs up but I can't think of the rest of the joke right now. Post-election party too-much-port all-day hangover-demon.
-
I'd give Jeph a high five for the pun, but it looks like he's in a bit of a bind.

I'm just going to mention the year 1976 for reasons that may or may not be relevant to the quoted post.

We all have that kind of tendoncy.

You. Pun Jar. Pay up. Now.
:mrgreen:
(I admit it: I LOLed at your pun. But I never get to tell people to pay the Pun Jar. :-D)
-
For some reason, I'm reminded of Alex Hawkins, the old Baltimore Colts receiver who didn't last long in TV. Reason: during one game he mentioned a player who was on the field with a broken hand and added: "I once played with two broken hands, and when you have two broken hands and have to go to the bathroom, that's when you find out who your friends are."

Bad taste (particularly for TV broadcasting)? Probably. Hilariously true? Definitely.

Still chuckling over "Handelore".
Thanks, I needed that.

Hannelore, Tannelore, Handelore...

Somehow he made Hannelore even more adorable. Well played, sir, well played.
Glad the surgery went well, we love you too, Jeph.

Bangarang (http://xkcd.com/813/)
That comic is wrong - "Bangarang, motherfucker." is an awesome one-liner.

Warning, side effects of this powerful painkiller may include: drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, upset stomach, and puns.

Bangarang (http://xkcd.com/813/)

It doesn't say otherwise! It's sorted by probability, not quality, of those becoming one-liners, it says nothing of the quality of any of them. They're all pretty awesome, although my favorite is the EULA one.
-
I'm bad. Instead of sticking up for Momo's basic dignity, now I'm wondering what really happens when you push her nose.
-
She sneezes.
-
"Bangarang, motherfucker" seems pretty likely. Isn't one of the most famous one-liners "Hippy kai aye, mother fucker"? I've never seen the movie, but I've heard it mentioned enough.
-
Watch Die Hard.
-
That is so something Emily would do.
-
Nah, I figure she's more of a Beverly Hills Cop kind of person.
You were probably been referring to the comic, not the previous post...
-
Disco Momo.
What'a Tai playing, "Dancin' Queen" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFrGuyw1V8s)?
-
No, probably my fave from that time period:
-
To make it real psychotropic, have Faye rig up a small machine to press Momo's belly button every 5 seconds...
-
What, no 'Zap like you mean it' from Momo? She's slipping.
Although Emily in Panel 3 is priceless.
-
Watch Die Hard.
Wait til December - it is a Christmas movie after all.
Just like The Ref.
-

YES.

What do you mean "really?" Guest comics are canon. Pressing Momo's nose allows for Disco Parties. And Marten cut off his face so that Pintsize could try to pick up women at a bar.

So that means Pizza Girl is Hanners, dead, and soon to be married to Marten.
-
OK.
-
Nono, the one that died was the first Pizza Girl, Sara. Hannelore is Pizza Girl II, formerly the first PG's Calzone Lass, which is why she was looking to recruit Faye as her replacement; to continue the fight for truth, justice, and cheesy goodness.
The one that marries marten is Pizza Girl I, resurrected by the Pizza Force after Garlic Bread Kitty sacrificed himself to save PG II from Chinese Delivery Man's anti-cheese ray and Hannelore gave up her powers in grief, having never found a replacement Calzone Lass that lasted more than one mission.
… I can probably keep this up for a while so I'm gonna just stop there, before I get in too deep…

Well, I do have my Squirrel Girl vs. The Multiple Mimic script for Marvel, just in case they ask…
-
So wait, how is Tai condoning this when she is both Momo's employer and Emily's supervisor?
-
Because pot.
-
Because pot.
Thought she was a semi-recreational drug user?
-
Well, that explains everything:
Jeph's most recent tweets state he's had critically-low levels of Vitamin D.
-
I'm not sure if you missed my sarcasm or if you're adding to it. :psyduck:
What do you mean, your not sure if we missed your sarcasm? Sarcasm makes our lives go on. Of course we'd want more if it wasn't present XD
-
So wait, how is Tai condoning this when she is both Momo's employer and Emily's supervisor?
If it's happening outside the workplace and not during work hours or otherwise work related I would say it's none of Tai's official business. I know some employers attempt to exercise control of their employees' nonwork activities but fuck them is what I say.
EDIT: Of course, since it's established AIs are sentient and we don't see anything that suggests Momo consents to this (quite the opposite, in fact) then I believe you can make the case in just about any state that Emily should be charged with abduction and Tai with aiding and abetting. Although judging by what we've seen of QCNorthampton's constabulary, Teh Rule of Funny supersedes the rule of law when convenient.
-

Drink more milk, and go out in the sunshine!
-
This is what happens when you shun our mother star! (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=143)
-
Worse, vitamin D deficiencies have been linked to depression (http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/research-innovations/stories/vitamin-d-deficiency-linked-to-depression). However, it may be that they're both symptoms of lack of sunlight... nd I seem to remember Jeph mentioning SAD a few years ago.
-
We need to get him more of Wisconsin's major export.
...No, not the Koch Brothers.
MILK!
-
Getting him out during daylight hours might help a little, too.
-
Too bad that the weather isn't cooperating in his neck of the world at the moment.
-
Oh look, there's a Saturday guest strip. ;)
-
Also Jeph said Thank You in the Crowdsource thread. Go bask in the glory... it'll improve your skin-tone.
-
WHEEEEEEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEEE!!!!
-
...right.
Actually, I thought that was the Goofy scream-thing at first, but there are too many HEEs.
OOH, a page break. What can I say here? Think, think, think... [/poohbear]

How did I end up in the supporters? The only idea I posted wasn't even used.
-
You posted an idea. Good enough.
-
"Support" is sufficiently vague to include all those who thought it was a good idea and said as much.
Actually, that kinda cuts me out...
-
We did a good thing.
-
I read the thread but did not post. Still delighted with today's strip though. :lol:
-
Gee, guys, do you think I need to put up a "Moment Of The Week" poll?
:-D
(Damn allergies...)

Is that sarcasm I detect there young Padawan?

More silliness than sarcasm. And a touch of self-deprecation.
-
Damn, I wish I read the thread and helped. Great job, though!

It's hard to decide between the Forumite made comic and Handelore actually.
-
Faye-and-Sam is a nice MOW option, as is Momo the disco light, Emily the pathologically curious (x2), "You couldn't afford me, baby," "I'm-a buy a hat with a feather," "More housefly?""Yes, please," and "See? Not as easy as it seems." My favorite moment-candidates from the Forumite comic would be "Whatcha readin'?", Pintsize's lines and Winslow's line, along with Marigold's OP speech. Handelore's a moment-option, too. We got lots of chances for fun.
-
Does this mean that DSL wins forever for drawing the guest comic? ;D
Once again, my favourite bit is the $1.98 Drill Press.

Clearly Harbor Freight is having a sale. :-D
BTW:
Million Dollar Belt Sander refers to a factory machine I used to run years ago. If you ever notice, much stainless steel has a "brush finish" kind of like wood grain.
Well, the machine is basically a water-cooled belt-sander mounted over a rubber belt. It drags the sheet-metal under the spinning belt and the water keeps the metal cool. Sheet comes out the other side and we repeat the process over and over until we get a real fine finish.
We had a clankity-clank version of the machine that made that finish pattern on stainless panels for various products we produced. The owner decided that he needed to upgrade... which he did. He ended up spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on the finest imported metal-sanding machine, and the exotic sand-paper and "cooling fluid" for the machine.
After running it six months it developed all kinds of faults, failures and glitches due to that superior European Engineering. Well that had nothing to do with it it had to do with OUR company politics twords cleaning and upkeep... but anyway it shit the bed in the worst way and had to be rebuilt TWICE while I ran it.
In the end, they spent OVER a million dollars on a fancy belt-sander that was less reliable than a fire-damaged Renault at the bottom of the River Charles.
The irony is the company I migrated to after I got tired of the politics had a much simpler and more user-friendly finishing machine, which is still running at peak condition despite being 30 years old.
I find the concept of spending that much money on a machine that never worked as promised and broke down more than a 1 legged horse towing the space shuttle across Canada to be utterly absurd. I adopted the name as a reminder of whole episode and the lessons it taught me.
-
;D
This kind of story has always been a 'type' for me... I'm sure lots of people have stories about machines which have gone strong for decades, only to be replaced by something which is brand new and shiny, but breaks down mere months later.
But this story is by far the best variant I've heard.
-
I've seen it way too many times over the years.
The machines I own range from 20 to 70 years old, I have very few "new" machines in my workshop.
-
Si non confectus, non reficiat, as Vetinari would say.
-
Same with computer systems. A lot of companies still use software from times before windows.
-
There's something to be said for simplicity!
-
I used to work in newspaper layout with a guy who complained we were behind a few versions on our layout and photo programs; he did love the bells and whistles they had to play with at his previous paper (that laid him off to save money). Meanwhile, the guy who worked next to him (not me) was creating works of newspaper art with our ten-year-old programs. I've always saved my greatest admiration for the people who do the most with the fewest shiny objects.
-
Skill in using what you have is a nice thing. But if you purposely use a program that has you jump through hoops to get stuff done that a better program could do in seconds it just looks like you're trying to show off, not get the task done.
-
In der Beschränkung zeigt sich der Meister.
Though, if a program could do it in seconds, it's not exactly a masterpiece, no matter how you do it.
-
No program could do what the second guy was doing, trust me.
-
How did you know I know German?
No program could do what the second guy was doing, trust me.
Since I wasn't there I believe you that.
What I'm trying to say is... take a guy who does paintings in paint. While it certainly is impressive what he does, there's no reason for him to use paint instead of a superior program. If he used a better program, he would still be an incredibly talented guy, only difference being that he doesn't artificially make it harder on himself.
Or to use a quote myself "It's not the tools that make the master" but if you have the option, why make it harder on yourself than necessary?
-
Well, the point I was trying to make was that the second guy would put all his creativity and knowledge of how to communicate graphically into a design or a graphic that was often beautiful in its simplicity and ease of readability, while conveying a great deal of information. A program can't do that for you.
The first guy would just add every bell and whistle the program would let him add, and his graphics were usually unreadable. As he was the boss of the operation, there was only so much any of us could do to stop him, as much as we wanted to when his main creative contribution was a headline that was either a pun on the name of the main person in the story, a sexual innuendo or both. If it had anything to do with the story, it was a happy accident. A program can't save you from that.
-
... on a much better note, if I've unwound these tweet things correctly, either Jeph is going to guest for Danielle Corsetto or the other way around. Either way, I will probably say EEEEEEEEEEEEE, quietly to myself.
-
Oh dear, poor Tai.
Or not, if Emily's feet are that soft. :p

Indeed you're right on that. A master on something old will still always be better than an amateur on something new.

And you can't program aesthetics. No matter what Apple tells you...

Damn, Emily - those legs must be awfully long!

Hee Hee.

Did I misread that look Emily was giving Marten?

First, Jeph uses the QCCrowdComic and now a Corsetto guest strip. Damn fine weekend, says I.
-
Did I misread that look Emily was giving Marten?
Emily being Emily, I doubt her motive in doing this is sexual.

@jwhouk @jephjacques Hah, thanks - and you were!!
-
Awesome!

When does discussion switch to the next WCDT? Midnight tonight?
-
It already has, the new one's been posted. Basically, it goes with the comic. If you want to talk bout the ones from last week (I guess including the weekend, not usually an issue), post here. When there's a comic for Monday, comments about it should go in the new thread (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,28413.0.html).
-
gotcha, thank you
-
Generally, Riccostar, I post the new WCDT on Sunday night/morning (US time), depending on when I get the chance to get to the computer.
This week's a bit of an exception, due to the "bonus" strips.

I'm bad. Instead of sticking up for Momo's basic dignity, now I'm wondering what really happens when you push her nose.
What do you mean "really?" Guest comics are canon. Pressing Momo's nose allows for Disco Parties. And Marten cut off his face so that Pintsize could try to pick up women at a bar.
So that means Pizza Girl is Hanners, dead, and soon to be married to Marten.
I'm not sure if you missed my sarcasm or if you're adding to it. :psyduck:
Piling on, definitely. Your turn.
Surely, soft feet are canon.
-
Soft canon, maybe.
-
We should send out a soft bulletin about it.
-
More of a loose canon, maybe.
(looks around for pun jar)

I make the motion that as a reward for his efforts last week we should grant DSL one week of immunity from the usual bad pun penalties.
-
I'm not voting in the poll because I don't see the free Holopony option.
-
Soft cannon, warm cannon, little ball of death...
-
I see you've met my cats...
-
Soft cannon, warm cannon, little ball of DOOM...
FTFY and continuing:
Noisy cannon, loose cannon, boom boom boom

Second!

You mean impunity? :mrgreen:
