I've read the comic for years, but never felt compelled to register/post until Xthform's post.

Welcome, sort of new person! Feel free to hang out in our quirky little world here.

My favorite YB curse to date has been "fuckpencil." Insulting, ridiculous and completely obvious. The only thing that would bother me about it is, I think Jeph used it self-referentially.

Upon first reading that I was thinking of Jimbo and thought he and Veronica Vance seemed like a plausible couple.  They do work in similar fields.

Veronica's to do list.

1. Drop by for a few days without calling first.

2. Humiliate Marten.

3. Continue to ship Marten with Claire or whoever other female cast member happens to be within 15 feet.

4. Visit secret bakery and pick something up.

I think it is time for a Mother's conference. Just imagine what Veronica Vance and Hannermom might have to talk about. Faye's mother, while more timid, could also add some useful insights.

Basically, the net effect of Yelling Bird is to combine expletives with more common, everyday words
(click to show/hide)
to make profanity worse than normal. Or, simply put, making swearwords up to be as dreadful as possible.

Because of this.

That AND his mother showing up unexpectedly. With a mother like her, I'd be freaking out too. And climbing out my bedroom window.

So we know Marten is in store for utter humiliation and embarrassment for the rest of this week, and probably well into the next. I wouldn't even be surprised to hear that Ms Vance is not only moving to the East coast, but just rented the apartment right next door.

Marten loves his mother, but she tends to embarass him all the time. Also, she is very active in trying to get him hooked up with some girl. I guess this is common for most mothers, but VV might be a bit over the top.

The combination of his mother's unexpected presence, Pintsize's prophecy, and the reality of Faye's huge boobs covered in cake batter is probably too much for him. But if he really wants to change some shit, this could be good, because something is bound to happen.

I read that, and then I see Marten having a nervous breakdown and joining HAnnelore in apparent;y having psychotic inner voices.
