Faye is making a coffee machine based on a plushie that Dora owns?

[iduguphergrave]

Wait...

Which orifices do the milk and steam come out of?

Steam comes out of the ears, and milk comes from...
Hmm.  Considering how it looks like it has balls, I have no clue where the milk comes from.

Milk, milk, lemonade espresso, around the corner fudge is made. Duh.

Then again they don't say anything about steam...

[calmcalamity]

Actually it's entirely different. Dora's plushie is just a cat, where as this is possibly the first instance of Bonercat being used in a comic that i can think of.

[Skewbrow]

Bonercat espresso machine FTW

[Carl-E]

Bonespresso Cat. 

[Tova]

I would just put a sign above it saying "Welcome to espresso territory."

[slydon]

I want one!

[sithrazer]

Thanks for the warm welcome!

For those who are curious, Faye is likely using something like this here welder. It's about as portable as they come, plugs into a standard 120V single-phase outlet, and has enough power to do all but the largest jobs efficiently. Dora's electric bill is going to go up, and the Coffee O' Doom is going to smell real weird for a while, but there's no reason it wouldn't work otherwise.

EDIT: The rule about having flammable materials around is, "DON'T DO IT!".

It actually almost looks like a TiG conversion sitting on top of a buzz box, kinda like so: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/tigkit.php
If you know how to verify it's in good working order (won't electrocute you or spontaneously combust), a cheap second-hand buzz box isn't hard to come across and the conversion makes for a TiG welder that won't break the bank.

As for why she'd do it at the coffee shop, she lives in an apartment where else is she going to do it at? Apartments are not large-equipment hobby friendly.

It's not milk - more of a thick cream.

[Is it cold in here?]

Eww. Good one.

How's he going to pee with a boner on?

[DSL]

Do not underestimate the power of the Bonercat.

As an unreformed, unrepentant and inveterate punster, I would order a cup of bonerspresso just for the ability to say:

"Augh! This p!ss tastes like COFFEE!"

[GerPronouncedGrr]

It could be a buzz-box, I wouldn't put it past Faye. But it's as likely to just be a Lincoln instead of a Miller, since those are red.

RE: my comment on helmet choices, apparently Faye's helmet says, "I don't give a fuck what my helmet looks like. I'm fucking welding." My helmet says something similar about me. I'm really glad she doesn't have one of those ones with like, skulls and electric blue flames or whatever.

Also, why oh why would Jeph inflict such horrible pain on her? She is going to have such a bad arc burn on her arms, what with that pasty white skin. Although, if she can withstand all that heat, being so close to her welds, maybe she is immune. FAYE IS A SUPERHERO ZOMG! 

Now I have the insane desire to make a bonerspresso machine.

[Carl-E]

Oh, the alley.  Oh, the mammaries memories Faye must have of this place! 

Oh, and the meter has changed since last we saw it; 



It no longer looks like Pintsize...

[Mr. Doctor]

It no longer looks like Pintsize...

Woa, I did not see that before until now.

What has been seen....!!! 

[cvcharger]

I was going to say something about how the needle only changed direction because they have been using electricity, but I see now what you mean.  There is an extra dial.  Hmm.  Utilities must have come by and upgraded it.

[Method of Madness]

Maybe Pintsize's third eye opened?

[akronnick]

What hath God wrought...

[Method of Madness]

Heh, good ol' predictable Steve.

[FunkyTuba]

yeah after all those space comics it's nice to get back to basics for a while

[jwhouk]

Our fearless leader is apparently looking for some guest strips. I still say one of these days we should do a forum-collaborated guest strip for the man.

[iduguphergrave]

That would quickly turn into the most NSFW webcomic in the history of the internet.

[celticgeek]

I agree.  A forum-sourced guest comic. 

[cvcharger]

That would quickly turn into the most NSFW webcomic in the history of the internet.

Meh, I'm sure it could surpass that.  Like not even a word in any language for how epic it is, but what do I know, I'm a noob.

[jwhouk]

We'd have to agree to keep it SFW and without shipping.

And we'd have to have someone actually do the drawing for us. No sense in having The Boss do the drawing on a "guest strip".

And it'd have to be something relatively funny, while perhaps having some sort of reference to the boards.

[celticgeek]

Here you go:



Faye:  Those Forum People are CRAZY!!!

Dora:  I told you not to rile them up!!!

[jwhouk]

Wasn't thinking of a caption game thing. Thinking something more organic.

[cvcharger]

Yeah, I was gonna say, doesn't that technically count as making Jeph draw it?

[celticgeek]

Wasn't thinking of a caption game thing. Thinking something more organic.

Best I could do since I can't draw worth a darn without straight edges and triangles. 

Merely a suggestion, anyway. 

[cpflux]

Thanks for the info! I'm going to have to pass this along to some college friends of mine - they need a welder on the cheap, and this would be a perfect solution for them.   

... I mean, short of a full-blown MIG setup, but hey.

[Kugai]

Beer and Sympathy

[cesariojpn]

That would quickly turn into the most NSFW webcomic in the history of the internet.

Give some of us a day or two. It could turn XXX-rated.

[ZBixby]

Wasn't thinking of a caption game thing. Thinking something more organic.

I can draw to a degree, although my art style is very similar to Jeph's since I learned a lot of drawing my characters from reading the webcomic and watching his art evolve. I would just need to get my Cintiq when I get back to homeport. Or I guess I could draw it on paper and scan it up although that feels so primitive xD.

[cpflux]

I don't usually drink beer, but when I do, I prefer something with a label that says "BEERS" on it.

[Akima]

The carton of bottles is labelled:

 BEERS
6 of 'm

That is getting down to essentials.

[blewupthesun]

Marten, your bitterness is showing.

[Mr. Doctor]

Well, Steve is kind of like a comic-relief character but I still find those kind of questions a bit annoying specially if you know...were in friggin space. Like that granma or other relative that always ask you why you don't have a gf or something, on the same day you took a doctorate.

[Welu]

Is it me or have there been a fair few comics with with beat panels lately?

That said, I do like Steve's arched eyebrow in the third panel.

[Is it cold in here?]

Steve could have been really crass and said "Didn't you even touch a wiener?".

[sitnspin]

"BEERS Six of 'em" is the greatest beer logo of all time.

[GerPronouncedGrr]

Thanks for the info! I'm going to have to pass this along to some college friends of mine - they need a welder on the cheap, and this would be a perfect solution for them.   

... I mean, short of a full-blown MIG setup, but hey.

You can actually get full-blown setups for fairly cheep if you don't mind used units. My boss just sold our old, fully-functional, single-phase MIG for $1500. If they do some legwork, hit up local shops, craigslist, auctions, etcetera, they might get lucky.

On a more current note, I'd like to see Coffee O' Doom set up a micro brewery in the back. "BEER: Fuckin' Drink Some."

[KOODustin]

I wonder if Beers brand beer is AMAZING or awful...

[sitnspin]

BEERS is such a great tasting beer that it doesn't even need a name. It is the quintessential beer. THE beer, as it were.

[jmucchiello]

Steve could have been really crass and said "Didn't you even touch a wiener?".

That could imply he was soloing. Since he was rooming with Marigold, would he do that? Hell, would anyone solo up there when the Station might drop by to chat?

S: Sir, you heart rate is elevated do you need assistance?
Person: N-n-no

[Milesb]

God knows what Station would send in if you said yes.

-shudder-

[Bachi-Atari]

God knows what Station would send in if you said yes.

-shudder-

More than likely those kill drones with defibulators for arms

[specter177]

BEERS is such a great tasting beer that it doesn't even need a name. It is the quintessential beer. THE beer, as it were.

Or "De Beers?"

[Truec]

BEERS is such a great tasting beer that it doesn't even need a name. It is the quintessential beer. THE beer, as it were.

BEERS.: the beer of beers.  100% beer by volume.

[akronnick]

BEERS is such a great tasting beer that it doesn't even need a name. It is the quintessential beer. THE beer, as it were.

BEERS! It's the beer they give you when you ask for BEERS!

[celticgeek]

I don't often drink beer, but when I do, I drink BEERS 6 of 'em.

[jwhouk]

I wonder if Beers brand beer is AMAZING or awful...

Both.
