And here... we... go.

Happy Memorial Day, everyone.

[Kugai]

Let the mayhem commence.

[RyanW1019]

This may be a dumb question, but do we know if Jeph is taking Memorial Day off? I vaguely remember a cynical yet accurate Yelling Bird comic about our country sometime last year, but I don't remember if that was actually on Memorial Day or just around it.

EDIT: Apparently he is. See you Tuesday!

[hedgie]

Let the mayhem commence.

*groan*

Someone wanna tell the boss he GIF'ed when he should have PNG'ed?

What kind of "pants" was she hoping for?

I did not notice the name tag Friday.

Jeans, she prefers.

GENERIC REPLY TO THAT THIS SHOWS UP IN MY NOTIFICATIONS

[Pilchard123]

Isn't there a notify button at the top and bottom of the thread?

[Barmymoo]

Is that what that does

[Pilchard123]

I think so, yea. Clicking it prompts "Are you sure you want to enable notification if new replies for this topic?"

[WAYF]

Let the mayhem commence.

The MAYhem?

I predict Momo will have something to say about this...

[Border Reiver]

How did May know Dale would be at Marigold's?

(other than the Rule of Funny, or It's in the Script)

[Barmymoo]

Maybe she went to Dale's first and he wasn't in, and decided to try Marigold's as that's the only other place she could think of?

[cesium133]

How did May know Dale would be at Marigold's?

(other than the Rule of Funny, or It's in the Script)

I think they're at Dale's. The couch they're making out on looks like the one that May watched the sunrise from.

Agreed. Marigold's couch is a different colour and has two windows behind it -- see here, for example.

[Mlle Germain]

I actually think they are all at Dale's place! I'm sure, in fact.
Compare:
Marigold's and Angus' apartment: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2632
Same again: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2441
Dale's apartment: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2502 and the following comics.
Yes, Dale might have gotten a new artwork in between, but the colour of the walls, the colour of the sofa and the window behind the sofa are still the same.

Edit: Ahhh, too slow

[Method of Madness]

I think so, yea. Clicking it prompts "Are you sure you want to enable notification if new replies for this topic?"

That would be cheating though

[Loki]

You get a mail notification if you click that button and someone replies. I am not sure if there is an option to get a PM or something instead. (Which in my case would prompt a mail anyway.)

[Method of Madness]

Oh, I wouldn't even want that. I just want the thread to show up when I click "Show new replies to your posts" and I'm pretty sure that's why Gareth posted as well.

Ahem.

[Is it cold in here?]

A May hem.

[celticgeek]

And fist bumps to start the may hem.

[Chelicerate]

You better bump em

[NilsO]

It seems like Dale never told Marigold about May. I do not think Marigold and May will get along very well. As for Momo and May, I really do not know. Momo does not tolerate robot criminals; on the other hand, she may forgive May if she really has changed. May seems to appreciate Momo's tough attitude; still, she does not like to be told how to behave.

As for May's rough language, I am sure both Momo and Marigold will have objections.

So where is Momo? If Marigold and Dale are at Dale's apartment (which seems to be the case), Momo is probably by herself in Marigold's apartment. Or she is at the Horrible Revelation, drinking beer with her friends.

[Eversist]

So am I crazy, or did I see the comic that comes after this, yesterday? Sorry if someone already asked this.

(click to show/hide)

Dale agrees to let her stay because she basically has no where else to go, as long as she does nothing to Marigold. She adds Marigold to her internal "be nice to" list.exe (.txt?) or something along those lines.

I saw it before the filler art went up for Monday. Maybe it was a database error or something (the site's CSS was kinda wonky, too, when I saw it).

Edit: Thanks for the assistance with the spoiler, Barmymoo. Mine was kinda ghetto.

[hedgie]

I called it! May needs a place to crash for a while.

[NilsO]

I am sure May intends to stay with Dale permanently. They have bonded, after all. Besides, May has nowhere else to go.

Yay! I got my QC vol. 4 album in the mail today!

[Is it cold in here?]

I called it! May needs a place to crash for a while.

I'll let someone else make the pun here.

[St.Clair]

C'mon, Dale, don't leave her hangin'.

[Akima]

Jeans, she prefers.

Instead she got the jumpsuit foreshadowed in the title of the strip you linked. Kudos, Jeph.

The thing is... Why is May still blue?

[cesariojpn]

The thing is... Why is May still blue?

Maybe thats a way for the authorities to identify Criminal AnthroPC's? Like a Scarlet Letter?

Or perhaps when AnthroPC tech evolved, it went from Pintsize-looking levels to May-looking levels to Momo-looking levels? May was in jail for sometime (we don't how long or even when the crime occurred comic time-wise), so it's a possibility that when she got incarcerated, her body got stored away and when she got paroled, she got shoved back into her old body. Or she was given an AnthroPC body since she existed on another "platform" (remember, she was accused of committing Bank Fraud and wanting to get into a Fighter Jet apparently, so she could've been stuck in a computer somewhere), only they gave her a surplus AnthroPC body, hence her blue color. Remeber when Marten got Pintsize? Different colored AnthroPC.

[NilsO]

She is blue because she got a basic Iduro chassis, without the expensive synthetic skin cover. What we see, is the steel chassis. Note the similarity to Clinton's hand. Momo questioned Clinton once why he did not use the recommended synthetic covering. Clinton, of course, thought it was much cooler without; but obviously, it is also more expensive.

If Dale can be persuaded, maybe he can buy the skin option for May. Or May can start earning money herself (preferably by doing an honest job).

[Mr. Doctor]

Regarding her blueness... The real question would be "Why not?" 

I'm looking forward to this. I might be one of the few people who really like May. I don't care about all the cursing. I think she means well.

So yeah dude, bump that fist! You should never leave a dude or dudette hanging there, specially when they are celebrating you!

[GarandMarine]

....I don't think I've ever wanted to be any of the QC cast's friend quite as much as May. I also realize we would wind up in Robot and Human prison asap.

[pwhodges]

I don't see that anthroPCs need to ape human appearance for their own sakes.  They might, like Momo perhaps, choose to as a way of fitting into human society more smoothly; or they might prefer, as May perhaps does, to make their own choices without being so constrained.

[Zebediah]

Well, we definitely have a "marked decrease in sociopathic tendencies" here. Not a complete elimination of them, but certainly a decrease.

[Border Reiver]

Well, we definitely have a "marked decrease in sociopathic tendencies" here. Not a complete elimination of them, but certainly a decrease.

So, almost the way the boards here have shown a decrease in sociopathic tendencies over the years then?

[Method of Madness]

My god, MAY IS US!

[Neko_Ali]

Many if not most of the AnthroPCs that have shown up have had a non-human form. Many have had humanoid form, but couldn't ever think of passing as a human and would have trouble in a world built to human scale. Think of Pintsize, Winslow, Momo's original chassis, their friends, the Roomba family, Gordon and so many more. Even those that are humanoid in shape and size seem to have a wide variety of color and style choices. Momo enjoys having a human-like appearance, she relates to and admires humans for the most part. Even if they are frustrating at times. But if you could have any appearance  you wanted without annoying things like biology or genetics.. why not be blue, or green, or a spider, or a jet? My greatest envy for the AIs is the ability to change bodies fairly easily. Oh what I wouldn't give to be able to do that...

[Barmymoo]

May is me

[Detachable Felix]

Fists. They must be bumped.
