My god. That's the first time I've ever done a spit-take.

Hah! First strip in quite a while to provoke prolonged laugh-out-loudiness (the panel 4 expressions are priceless). Coincidentally, just a couple of days ago UK Quest broadcast the Mythbusters episode where they tried to turn a vacuum cleaner into a jet engine - but actually ended up with a flame-thrower. Pintsize's next project, perhaps...

Akima, while you're here - I sent you a PM about your avatar some weeks ago, I guess you didn't see it. Where is your avatar from? I like the art style and if it's a comic or graphic novel I'd be interested in reading the whole thing. Thanks.

Carl-E · « **Reply #52 on:** 15 Dec 2009, 15:08 »

Personally, I'm curious about what's in the avatar's thought bubble... from the expression on her face, I get the impression it's something best left unsaid!

Angus is going to be so mortified he may not show his face around CoD for weeks.

Liwen D · « **Reply #58 on:** 15 Dec 2009, 23:28 »

Quite the contrary actually. Mortified characters tend to ad a lot of drama in a story. Jeph ain't going to pass that opportunity. This could lead Angus and Faye into romantic progress!

Now I shall resume the first 3 issues of the week with a single word, liberal art emoticon or word set to describe an action for each of them!

1556 : ewwww....
1557 : O . O
1558 : "facepalm"

I don't think this situation could be any more awkward. I actually think nakedness would actually help.

In Fayes place, in the last panel, I would have answered instead: You know, there is a REASON why I'm messed up.

Neither O . O nor "facepalm" are words. Well, facepalm is a word, but you have it as an action...

Just pickin' nits, don't mind me...

And no, Angus will not die a horrible death. But he'll wish he had from sheer mortification. (get it? "mort"- ification? Oh. Sorry)

no one special · « **Reply #65 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 03:30 »

Can I just say - really creepy timing, as today is the birthday of my friend who killed himself. This is always the day when I think about him - and then I read the comic.

Don't worry, i still found it hilarious!

Mr. Doctor · « **Reply #66 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 04:50 »

Damn the next comics will be interesting because I want to see Angus' face when he knows about the suicide of Faye's father.

It's not his fault though, it was just an accident.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #67 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 05:08 »

Which is why it will be awkward for him and amusing for us.

Wiregeek · « **Reply #68 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 06:14 »

my prediction is that fucking bitch Faye is going to completely overreact.

I'm not sure if I'm serious or not.

Carl-E · « **Reply #69 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 07:22 »

Funnier if she doesn't. He's gonna be cowering in the corner, expecting to be thrown somewhere, and she'll pull some weird mindfuck on him like she did with Marten's dad... well, not like that one, but you know what I mean.

Or she'll do the lower-lip quiver at his insensitivity, and start bawlin, and just when he can't feel any lower, ... BAM!!

Or anything in between. It's all good!

snubnose · « **Reply #70 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 07:58 »

Eh ?

Guys have you not noticed her reaction in the last panel ?

Theres no fury going on. She's just criticizing HERSELF for being overly sassy.

ecstaticjoy · « **Reply #71 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 08:28 »

Awww, Faye opened up to Angus a little!

Poufe · « **Reply #72 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 09:01 »

everything awkward and horrible aside....

Faye's face in panel 3 is probably one of the cutest I've seen her make... I just look at it and cant stop awwing

I think this is going to go a slightly different way:

1558: Marigold gets her heart crushed when Angus comes home to brag about it

Sorry, I can be a real asshole at times.

danman · « **Reply #78 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 12:57 »

i think it will be Angus who will freak out and start profusely apologising, to the point Faye becomes angry ...

LTK · « **Reply #79 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 13:25 »

Options?

"Let me just finish: The guy puts the shotgun in his mouth, blows off half of his face, and lives! What an idiot!"
"Nuh-uh, you're going to have to bring a lot more than a dead dad to catch me off guard."

Unfortunately, both will result in a slow and painful death for Angus.

Does the comic title refer to today's specials? Got me wondering there.

scarred · « **Reply #80 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 13:30 »

I was under the impression it was alluding to the dead babies.

Tuitsuro · « **Reply #81 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 15:39 »

Here's how the next comic goes; Angus still doesn't believe her, Faye gets mad and walks away, Angus stands there dumbfounded and is about to utter profanity when suddenly a rocket propelled Roomba flies through the shop and thwacks him in the head, knocking him out cold.

if it doesn't happen, someone need to ask Jeph to draw Angus being nailed by the vroomba next time he's at an event doing sketches.

Or, if you tip enough sacred cows, don't be surprised when someone sends your own holy bovine sprawling.

I will give Faye points for acknowledging that, though.

helloandgoodbye · « **Reply #90 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 21:24 »

Oh, God. Today's comic was so freakin' painful to read.

I feel bad for Angus. He's going to hate himself when he finds out the truth.

Moxie · « **Reply #91 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 21:25 »

What exactly is Faye going to do?
I thought the talk about Angus was him leaving/hiding due to embarrassment. But, as Faye so aptly pointed out, one could not entirely blame for for thinking Faye's pulling one over on him. She has no reason to do anything to him.
But I can see him going home and Marigold being all worried because he's all upset and then find out it's because of Faye and then jump to conclusions about Faye and Angus and be miserable...and then Marigold runs into Hanners who is worried and Marigold tells Hanners about Angus and Faye, and then Hanners accidentally tells Marten and Dora, and then Dora says something about it work....
Fun times!

0kamisama · « **Reply #92 on:** 16 Dec 2009, 22:58 »

True, no place is safe when trying to outrun the Wrath of Faye. I'm halfway expecting Angus to realize Faye's situation and stare blankly for a moment... then grin as he learns that he has found the ledge he needs to gain the upper hand. Like that guy in Tienanmen Square, standing up against the tank (then valiantly gumming up the tread gears).

Carl-E · « **Reply #93 on:** 17 Dec 2009, 00:28 »

The Tienemann square guy did not get squished, although he's not been seen or heard of again since then...

As for today's comic, the only question I had was, as Angus was running past Dora, was there fear in his eyes, or tears?

He slowly backs away from Faye, then runs. I'm not completely convnced he's running from her, as much as running away from what he just did to her without realizing it. Poor guy must feel like a little ball of shit after that. Nothing Faye could do would hurt him more... well, not emotionally.

Physical pain's always an option, but it doesn't look like Faye's going to pursue it. She probably realizes how much he's already doing to himself - why add to it? He's doing a fine job.

Yay empathy?

Actually it was his birthday, not the anniversary of his death.

OH SNAP DONI'T U FEEL SO BAD RIGHT NOW

But it was pretty sad to read that comic that day. Just weird luck, I guess. Could've been worse, at least it wasn't that actual suicide comic - especially since my friend went pretty much the exact same way as Faye's dad did.

Ok, sorry to bring the party down...

She was waaay cuter in the past.

http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=928
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1004
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1249

In none of these Faye looks like a tank or something.

Weeeeeellllll Faye has always been described, by herself and others, as being heavier-set than the rest of the cast. (Not really overweight, but you know, not skinny.) It's just that now the art actually shows her to be that way. In many of the earlier strips, she looked pretty much the same size as Dora just with more boobs and ass (and that's partially why people were always all "wtf is she talking about when she makes comments about her weight?").

That said, even Dora is kinda looking more... full-bodied all over lately.
