My only question is: How did Marigold get drunk? In other words, what alcohol goes well with Mountain Dew?

Remember, Marten had her trying out varying types of Beer earlier, and she had the Wine from Hanners which I think she liked, so she might have had a few more after that.

JackFaerie, on the corset thing, Jeph specifically said they're Victorian-esque, not that they're accurate reproductions. Don't be a Costume Nazi!

I know, I know, which is why I didn't take any issue with, say, Marigold wearing what is basically underwear instead of clothes, or that her dress is half Victorian and half 18th c, or that Faye's sleeves don't match some other details of her costume period-wise, etc. I'm just saying that in general, corsets don't work that way: ie, the way that corset is drawn is a physical impossibility.

Unless, like, it's a super crazy corset painstakingly designed to have separate moulded push-up cups built in, which would make it nigh impossible to actually put on, among other things.

...Or it's a completely made up piece of cartoon clothing that looks like a corset to the untrained eye, instead of being an actual "what's that? you have a c-cup and you want to breathe? HA!" corset. Seriously, we all have our areas of interest, but you are way over thinking this.

I'm not overthinking it, I'm saying "that's not how a corset looks"and also "if it IS a specialty piece of clothing that somehow looks like a corset and yet is not, man oh man would that be kinda ridiculously difficult to engineer and fit properly." It doesn't require much thinking at all to make either of those observations.

Now what I AM confused about now is what a c-cup (as opposed to any other cup?) has anything to do with breathing in corsets.

Anyway, I don't really care THAT much, I just... don't get WHY people can't seem to draw corsets properly, if they like to look at them...

Actually the world's oldest recorded joke is about women not farting. It is Mesopotamian and dates back to 1,900 BC:

"Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap."

Much like history and archeology, female flatulence humor science is very much steeped in the rich oral traditions and recorded lore of long forgotten ancient civilizations.

While there is no such thing as perfection, as a practicioner of one of the oldest fields of scientific study I feel that female flatulence anecdotes are already quite advanced compared to other fields of science. For example, if the development of more efficient means of locomotion was as advanced as the development of women's dyspepsia tales, we would have achieved faster than light travel already.

Back in my pre-marital days, when I used to work 8+ hours then come home and spend 8+ hours online before sleeping for a maximum of 4 hours, I lived on Mt. Dew and coffee. I'm not sure I ever even drank water back then. Now I can't stand the stuff. It's just too sweet. I have had it mixed in alcoholic beverages and as long as you have something to balance out the sweetness of it, it's not bad.

LeeC, I thought that was really cute, too! I was surprised by how Momo was acting - and you'd think she could multi-task to listen while playing, if she was in the middle of something. WOW has a lot of downtime (I don't play, but know lots of people who do).

How can Marigold have a civil conversation while drunk? Or did the argument with Momo make her sober?

LeeC · « **Reply #96 on:** 19 Aug 2009, 15:35 »

i think its a mix of being drunk and wanting to tell someone about how great a time she had. Momo is probably just trying to finish the instance for mari and by the look of it is fatigued from it and just wants to finish. After all she is doing this for Mari so she could go out. thats probably why she is trying to stay focused because she has never played before, only watched Marigold play.

Huh. Welp that first one looks about as uncomfortable as I thought it might be if they ever made one. And as silly-looking. Obviously a modern take on corsets rather than Victorian though--and would have to be custom-sized for the cups to fit well. It also doesn't give nearly the amount of uplift/cleavage a real corset would... But now I guess I know they do exist.

The second corset you linked still "flattens." I did not that Edwardian/Victorian corsets provided a curve, and this one has a very extreme curve, but there's still no under-boob crease. The fabric doesn't fold all the way under, as it did with Marigold's and Faye's outfits.

The third and forth are only corsets up to the ribs, and then have basically a bra built on top... and provide no more cleavage-enhancement than a regular bra. I know that those exist, but I didn't think they'd have made Marigold anywhere near that surprised at her bustline. I assume she knows what her boobs look like in a padded bra.

Annnnnnnnyway.

JackFaerie · « **Reply #98 on:** 19 Aug 2009, 23:24 »

Gotta say though: I watched the ustream for the first time today, and maaaaan, lots of admiration for Jeph's drawing. I draw too, but I could never do it that quick and clean and well on a tablet. Or that quick and neat in general. I remember I first noticed QC for its art, but it's been awhile since I took the time to look at just how much goes into it (and the progression from the first strips has always struck me as incredible).
