There was a Family Guy episode where Meg and others at her school, following a "premarital sex is bad, mmkay" lecture, take to having ear-sex as an alternative to complete abstinence. Peter falls for this too, for some reason which eludes me.
That seems to be one of the rationales for the current oral sex kick in high schools, which a startling number of kids claim to Not Be Sex.

Seriously, the writing in yellow is fucking annoying.

Is there a typo in today's comic? "WelP, I'm going to bed"?

No, that's a colloquial version of the word "Well".

Americans sometimes pronounce the word 'well' with a 'p' on the end.

Don't ask me why.

So no, not a typo.

Apparently my mind is one great big "censored" sign, coz i saw Dora's face in pannel three and just went D'aaaaawwwwwww

Or it could just be the whole 'chics that look cute when they're embaressed' thing...

Best comic ever.

Everybody's talking about how Dora looks.

I noticed Marten's "deer in the headlights" look first - it lasts for two panels - poor boy's mind is racing through responses to Faye's possible reactions, and coming up with nada!

Maybe he's considering saying, "Wanna join in?" and running the possible scenarios of Faye's response through his head

Mental image of Hanners buying pepper-spray and reenacting that one scene from "Monsters Inc." with Mike Wazowski.
This would not be her intended use of said product.

No, the taser was what happened to Marten, remember?

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #121 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 03:17 »

Yeah, but that was Faye's taser. And Marten was holding it.

Maybe Hanners just has a psychic distortion field that reverses the effect of self-defence devices within a five foot radius of her?

Akima · « **Reply #122 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 04:55 »

Dora is such a kill-joy. She has a broadsword, why shouldn't Faye wield a telescopic baton? Though I think she's more of a pickaxe-handle kind of girl myself.

raoullefere · « **Reply #123 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 05:07 »

I fear I'm beginning to feel about Hannelore the same way Jamie Hyneman feels about Adam Savage: I love seeing her in pain.

Given the quality of this week's stuff, I think Jeph should do something alternate like the Sweet-Tits run every three months or so.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #124 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 06:17 »

This is why you don't play with weapons unless you are trained to do so - unless its for comedic effect, then its all good.

Carl-E · « **Reply #125 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 06:31 »

Even post training, clumsy is as clumsy does. And even non-weapons...

My favorite was the track meet official who got the javelin through the foot. Everyone was "properly trained", too!

With the Broadsword and the Malaysian battle spatula, the desire to use them must be weighed against the necessity of cleaning up the blood.

With a baton, Faye can get her murder done without having to consider the consequences.

(That's the same reason that I think Cops shouldn't be allowed to have Tasers)

That, and it gives them the novel excuse of "I was going for my taser" when asked "why did you shoot that unarmed and restrained man in the back with your service weapon?"

And what should they use? Mace? Some people aren't affected by it if they're in a full blown adrenaline rush or on a drug high, or just going plain berserk. At least with a taser/stun gun, you can disable the person without having to shoot him.

On a more humorous note, I did exactly what Hanners did once (minus the dramatic lines), only it was with a ball-peen hammer.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #129 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 09:28 »

Didn't Hannelore already have an expanding baton? It was in the arc where she was reviewing documents for her mother. She moved in to Marten and Faye's, they looked at the contents of her duffel, and found her birth control pills and an assortment of weapons. Was a telescoping baton one of them, and what was the strip number?

celticgeek · « **Reply #130 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 09:37 »

Yes, she did have a telescoping baton. 966

chelicious · « **Reply #131 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 09:51 »

Hanners is looking so much better lately. All rosy and without the undereye circles... she's so cute. Plus it's easier to laugh at her klutziness when she's not all peaked and sickly looking. lol

Thank you.

So what's a good wacky "explanation" of the apparent inconsistency? I vote that Pintsize stole the old one to use as a dildo.

...as a dildo on something/one else. Probably without consent.

Maybe Hanners's robot vacuum.

Dliessmgg · « **Reply #134 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 10:07 »

I vote that she never opened it until now because it would have rusted, but now she thought she must train a bit to be able to defend herself when she needs to.

MrMonk · « **Reply #135 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 10:32 »

She bought a second one as back-up, because "you can never be too careful."

~~Schmorgluck~~ · « **Reply #136 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 10:43 »

On a side note, with a bit of training, it's the perfect weapon for a drummer. If Hanners ever gets mugged, someone is in for the most precisely timed and mathematically complex beating EVAR.

Has Faye been borrowing Marten's shirts?

raoullefere · « **Reply #139 on:** 08 Jan 2010, 14:16 »

Marten's shirt was much smaller. Faye would have destroyed it trying to squeeze it over her bounty—not that I wouldn't like to see that.

I know this isn't that sort of comic, but the whole gag would have been even funnier if the rabbit on Hanner's shirt had changed expressions from determined to one of horror when she tried to break her kneecap.

Please recall the source. It was Pintsize who claimed she had all those things, including brass knuckles. He may have been joking!

To be honest, I like the other explanations too - I could see Pintsize making off with it, or Hanners finally opening the package for a little practice...

Or you could JUST ignore the discontinuity. That's usually my favorite solution!
