I think saying "umbersdoob" should become a Thing here.

For comic #1992...

1. @Cold - I doob nod umbersdanb why it woolb

2. @jwhouk - how about a /fistbump? (We need an emoticon for that here, I think)

3. Not sure what it is, exactly...but Padma looks really great in this strip. Jeph did a great job there, art-wise.

4. I sense a first meetings coming up between Faye & Renee, which should prove to be very, very "interesting"... (It could even by the ulterior reason why we are seeing Faye at The Secret Bakery now)

Jeph need not worry. I chuckled at "umbersdoob".

Oh dear, is Faye about to develop an illicit cupcake habit (and who among us hasn't stood on the edge of that particular precipice)? Either that or tSB is manouvering a hostile takeover of CoD.

Actually hope it's the former, I'd dearly love to the see the QC take on an intervention.

I'm more imagining Pintsize consuming all of them 'for her own good' claiming that she was developing a habit, and/or trying to protect her from an angry Dora. Either that or Dora tries one and gains a new thing to be paranoid and suspicious about or has a moment of true character growth.

Hannelore is so loyal to CoD that she will not let this happen. And Faye knows better than to contradict Hannelore-gone-critical.

Mind you, when I saw what Jeph was drawing my first reaction was one of: Oh, ohh! Faye's on a fact finding mission about tSB and Renee, and somehow managed to talk Hannelore to be her wingwoman. The truth was a relief (as happens more often than not).

Way off-topic but does this look like Marigold to anyone else?

Err ... no ... not at all ...

You know, if you would have posted Amanda Tapping, AT LEAST the bust size would be correct.

But I assume Marigold looks quite round everywhere. Even more so than Faye.

So I rather would assume Marigold looks a lot like, for example, Ellen Page.

Alas PT410X, we hardly knew ye. I have to wonder what his owner was doing when he/she overclocked him, though.

Especially since the people who run Linux and the people who overclock are usually more like a totally different bunch of people...

Hint: you usually only need to overclock to run games (or really any other realtime app, but usually games).

What?

You're about as far off the mark as the original poster, just in a different direction...

Pendrake, I second the motion that Padma looks fantastic. Part of it's the up-do, seeing more of the shape of her face without that hair hanging down. Part of it is also the eyes - in getting the shape, Jeph seems to have made them bigger than before. He's not going anime-style like in the past, but there's something more visually appealing about the larger eyes.

And the full mouth with her finely chiseled jaw.

...and a fanatical devotion to the pope!

As for Faye's meeting Renee, there was some chat during the stream about mixing Faye and anti-Faye, and whether North Hampton would survive the blast...

Hanners does look disapproving of Faye's cake enjoyment/gluttony. And has others have pointed out, Jeph's drawing of Padma has hit a new high. Great facial expressions from all three characters too.

Alex1432 · « **Reply #64 on:** 10 May 2011, 03:57 »

I'll agree with the common consensus here, Padma does look great today, probably the best depiction of her yet in my opinion. For me its definitely mostly the eyes that are making the difference, although the lips look good too. Great job all around on her today!

Not quite sure what is going through Hanners mind though, or rather how she'll react. Be interesting to find out.

Back to the comic.
Hips don't lie, and judging by Faye's pair, she has never told a lie in her life. So that muffin must be good.

Carl-E · « **Reply #66 on:** 10 May 2011, 06:28 »

It's a cupcake, not a muffin. And if she's getting two dozen, her hips will have to start lying...

Although I wonder if she's ordering them for CoD. Someone worried about freshness for such a small operation, and one thing I recall from my days as a youth was that the hole-in-the-wall bakery near my home supplied shops and restaurants all around the area with fresh baked goods on a daily basis. The storefront was a tiny fraction of their business - most of that stuff will probably be shipped out later for the dinner crowd in all the local eateries!

Black Sword · « **Reply #67 on:** 10 May 2011, 06:30 »

I'm going to join the cacophony of "Padma looks fantastic." Jeph, create a device to make Padma real, then give me her number!

Anyway, I'm glad we're back in tSB. Really enjoy it in there, and Padma is much hotter and enjoyable than Dora, so huzzah! Are we going to engage in another mini-tSB arc? Please say yes!

Yeah, Faye's going to have no trouble maintaining her aerodynamically curvaceous shape. It may get even more curvaceous if she keeps coming back for more of those cupcakes.

Hope she's still going to the gym.

And as to posting pictures of actresses/TV personalities to represent Faye or Marigold, I think that's pretty much pointless. Most Hollywood actresses are far too skinny to accurately represent either of them.

iduguphergrave · « **Reply #76 on:** 10 May 2011, 09:23 »

No, no, Marten is the ass-man. (that was a surprisingly fun sentence to type

I think it'd be funny if Faye tries to lie to Angus about where the cupcakes are from and when he eats one he recognizes the taste.

I loved that. One of Jeph's little humor details you don't always see immediately. I had a feeling Faye or Dora would eventually sample the competition. For "personal research purposes", naturally.

I loved todays comic

"Almost... QUAINT." From the start, in the back of her mind, Faye already knew she liked the place. Even though it may have been painful to force such a compliment. And then, of course, by the end of the comic she's completely sold. Two dozen cupcakes? Wow, Faye's Fine Figure will soon become Faye the Fulsome Fatty.

I've liked how Jeph has drawn Padma in the past but by now she's definitely my favorite drawn character

DSL · « **Reply #79 on:** 10 May 2011, 11:55 »

I do wish my brain was wired the way Padma's seems to be. Nothing really bothers her ( except the thing that is not a giant blender thing catching fire, but that seems to be a perfectly reasonable reaction).
