Looks like only Hannelore is surviving the gas attack. She's probably covering her face with the micro hazmat mask that she carries in her back pocket (because you never know).

QC's new business model: All guest strips, all the time. Other people do the work and Jeph collects the rewards. It's foolproof!

I figured Hannelore would be the least likely to survive such an event. Thus begs the question: why did I contemplate that in the first place?

Well, she does have some experience after watching Marigold play World of Warcraft.

Sounds likely.

So, is there a subtle joke that I'm not getting or does this guest strip really consist of 'and then every character farts for no reason'?

KOK · « **Reply #12 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 01:30 »

Butts, Butts and more Butts got 30% of the votes in last week's poll. Thus Revenge of the Butts.

techkid · « **Reply #13 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 01:48 »

Plus, "Comics that make you go Huh?!?" made an additional 21%. So apparently 52% of us voted for this.

Thrillho · « **Reply #14 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 02:08 »

So in other words, this is the worst guest strip I've yet seen - not that there's much competition for that title as I don't remember any of the others being shit.

This accurately sums up my reaction to the comic as well...

Are there going to be guest strips for all of this week?
I am not complaining at all, I am just surprised. I always thought it was just one guest comic week? Or have there been two in a row before and I just didn't notice?

No, Jeph will resume the insanity tomorrow. Willis got his last shot in on Jeph today, though.

Mr. Doctor · « **Reply #18 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 08:55 »

I don't remember so well how the others were but this is probably my least favorite guest week so far as I don't think I liked any strip at all. :\

cesium133 · « **Reply #19 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 08:59 »

It is kind of a tired joke, but at the same time I wouldn't bother going to Willis' website to tell him about it...

Thrillho · « **Reply #20 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 09:21 »

Calling it a tired joke suggests there was a joke.

cesium133 · « **Reply #21 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 09:23 »

There may have been, but I suspect the readers are the butt of the joke.

Figuratively speaking.

The original study had nothing to do with sniffing farts.

Quote

Synthesis and bioavailability of the endogenous gasomediator hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is perturbed in many disease states, including those involving mitochondrial dysfunction. There is intense interest in developing pharmacological agents to generate H2S. We have synthesised a novel H2S donor molecule coupled to a mitochondria-targeting moiety (triphenylphosphonium; TPP+) and compared the effectiveness of the compound against a standard non-TPP+ containing H2S donor (GYY4137) in the inhibition of oxidative stress-induced endothelial cell death. Our study suggests mitochondria-targeted H2S donors are useful pharmacological tools to study the mitochondrial physiology of H2S in health and disease.

There is a lot of study in the function of different molecules in the body, hydrogen sulfide is one of them.

Wait, what?

Is he completely serious? What the fuck? Please tell me he was being sarcastic.

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #36 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 20:09 »

When did Sven and Steve start hanging out? Also is Sven not aware that he's the jerk in a romantic comedy which this isn't?

In other news I have totally broken the ice with a girl by singing "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"

SomeCanadianWeirdo · « **Reply #37 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 20:09 »

Yeah. I've never seen any indication that Sven is that clueless. (Unfortunately there are people in the real world who are that clueless.)

Has Sven even met Angus? They've seen each other across a park, but that's it as far as I know. Did he even know his name until Steve mentioned it just now, or know that it's the same guy?

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #40 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 20:45 »

Oh Sven sweetie.. Hold still a minute. I have a clue by four I need to introduce you to.

hedgie · « **Reply #41 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 20:56 »

Given the way that Sven has been dumbed-down for this current arc, that clue-by-four had better have nails in it.

Honestly, that's what bothers me about this entire strip. It feels way too out of character. I am having a hard time accepting that Sven is acting this way.

Shadic · « **Reply #43 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 21:25 »

I'd be okay with just like, six months of these two. Maybe actually throw in Marten, Angus, and Dale to freshen things up.

Penelope, Cosette, and Emily too, actually.

T · « **Reply #44 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 21:41 »

I think he isn't clueless in general, just about romance.

Mordhaus · « **Reply #45 on:** 21 Jul 2014, 21:48 »

I am not sure what people are saying when they say this isn't like Sven. Sven has a history of being manipulative and having terrible ends to relationships. When he and Faye were sort of FwB, he cheated on her. The only reason he wants to get back with her is because he is craving the experience of a real relationship, which means he is still all about meeting his own needs.

Don't believe me, read some of his early arcs.

Even Sven says he doesn't have a clue about relationships.

His saying "it didn't work" is a blatant tipoff. He wasn't leveling or clearing the air, he was trying to manipulate the Pugnacious Peach.
