Another week, and another birthday for the US of A (Don't look a day over 230)!

[ASmellyOgre]

It looks like he's going to be able to draw that comic after all.

[jwhouk]

One of the joys of Twitter is that you can follow along about your favorite comic artist's creative process:

Jeph Jacuqes @jephjacques
Oh god it's going to be one of Those Nights. Please bear with me as I bash my head against the keyboard.

Curtis @rhinosaur
@jephjacques Faye: AJDNHEGEI BEN EVGNEBEU GEBRB Hanners: ENCJANT REJCHS EICHE DIVHE Martin *Obscure indie band joke*

[Is it cold in here?]

That question about the phrase "temporary visa" makes me wonder if Jeph's going in an unexpected direction.

[Boxilar]

It looks like he's going to be able to draw that comic after all.

Shoulda read the thread before I voted. I went with guest strips.

[VonKleist]

creative process:

nervous breakdown

 



My, my. What an excellent comic, Mr. Jaques. I quite enjoyed it!

[HiFranc]

I knew that Tai using Marten's deodorant would freak Dora out!

[Is it cold in here?]

Faye is the one to smooth things over in an awkward situation??

I dimly remember her doing something similar once recently.

Impressive personal growth, Pugnacious Peach.

[snubnose]

When in doubt, Hanners.

Or Raven.

TOMORROW IS STRIP #2222 !!! JEPH ARE YOU ALREADY A MILLIONAIRE ?

[techkid]

I knew that Tai using Marten's deodorant would freak Dora out!

Dora just questioned it, quite calmly too (either therapy seems to be working, or she just knows Tai). Tai's more freaked out if anything else (Dora's proximity notwithstanding).

[VonKleist]

If I ran a prospering business I´d be quite calm too.


Seriously: Yay for Dora!

[Akima]

As Jeph pointed out in his Twitter, Tai does look cute in this strip. Unlike Naked Mole Rats which are slightly terrifying.

[jmucchiello]

shurrrrrt

Yes, why is Tai walking into the room buttoning her shirt?

[Schmorgluck]

As Jeph pointed out in his Twitter, Tai does look cute in this strip. Unlike Naked Mole Rats which are slightly terrifying.

Yeah, for some reason they always make me think of the Sumatran rat monkey from Braindead.

[pwhodges]

shurrrrrt

Yes, why is Tai walking into the room buttoning her shirt?

Because after Dora's arrival she made an excuse to pop out to borrow Marten's deodorant (ref 2218).

[LTK]

Does anyone know if jeph is still using the same e-mailaddress? His Contact page still mentions 'what kinds of alcohol I like to drink' so it hasn't been updated in a while. Still jephco at mac dot com?

[jwhouk]

...I thought Apple was closing out the Mac-dot-com e-mail addresses?

[Boxilar]

Whelp. The gangs all together and there's wine to drink. If history is any indicator, at some point in the evening Tai's pants will be coming off...





 And will be going in the dishwasher.

[WAYF]

You have a good point. She's not even drunk and she's already cuddling up to Dora.

The best indicator for shenanigans will be if Tai passes out again.

[FunkyTuba]

jw: Suggestion for the next poll: what kind of deodorant does Marten (and Faye (and Tai)) use?

[DSL]

Oh, yeah, and some suggested options:
- Double Secret: Strong enough for an indie boy, used by his female roomie
- Mennen and Womennen Not-so-Speed Stick
- Dunno. It's either something Faye bought or Dora left behind.
- ... actually, it's canned air for cleaning Pintsize.
- Pssshhhht! (You've probably never heard of it).
- Whatever's on sale at the dollar store.
- Febreze

[idontunderstand]

Fun fact that most people who've browsed imdb knows: The groundhog who carries news to Mufasa early in the movie Lion King was originally supposed to be a naked mole rat. It looked too much like a penis when it popped out of the ground, though, so they had to scrap that idea.

[TinPenguin]

Yeah, for some reason they always make me think of the Sumatran rat monkey from Braindead.

They always make me think of a parsnip.

Dora's expression in panel 1 is great.

[iduguphergrave]

It's been quite awhile since we've seen her so happy and relaxed

Wonder if she already had a glass before.

@jwhouk: Thanks for being a sport with the poll.

[Kugai]

But will wearing Martens Deodorant revive pleasant memories for Dora



Or not.

[FunkyTuba]

@jwhouk: Thanks for being a sport with the poll.

Indeed

...I thought Apple was closing out the Mac-dot-com e-mail addresses?

Funny story; Alan Miller, one of the guys behind the Atari 2600 stopped in today at the museum I part-time in, and it turns out he has a mac-dot-com address. Hopefully it doesn't close down, because it would sure be a loss of a historical figurehead in my line of work!

good old naked mole rat-cam.

the little guys seem to be sleeping, though.

edit: nope, there goes one

[cesariojpn]

Wait, where is Faye's Pizza in the last panel? I don't recall their being a coffee table in the apartment......

[Jimor]

Obviously, being the janitor pays more.... 

[Border Reiver]

Or has more prestige.

[Boxilar]

Wait, where is Faye's Pizza in the last panel? I don't recall their being a coffee table in the apartment......

There probably is one, even if we haven't seen it. We've never seen the TV, even though the gang has watched it in a couple of strips and has played video games on it in a few others. It's been awhile since we've seen them do either.

Or has more prestige.

It could be a case of allowing him to mingle more freely. Plus, janitors can pretty much go anywhere they want without question and without being bothered. Especially if they're carrying a florecent light bulb. It's the janitorial equivilent of carrrying a clipboard and looking worried.

[DSL]

I haven't even met Old Gus, and already I like him.

I wonder if he's anything like the covert supergeniuses in one of my favorite science fiction stories.

[jwhouk]

Knowing her? IN HER BELLEH!

Until proven otherwise, I am gonna assume it's this guy, all grown up.

Uh, yes. Yes we've seen said TV. Somewhere in the 1400's-1600's if memory serves me correct.....

[Method of Madness]

Dr. Jan Itor

YES.

Also, I'm back (after my much shorter than expected absence).  I missed you all terribly, especially you (you know who you are).

I've found the one place carrying a clipboard and looking worried doesn't help is a casino.  Maybe I should have tried a florescent light bulb.

Just be sure you're wearing the right clothes. Florecent bulb and coveralls; good. Florecent bulb and three piece suit; bad.

Well, dammit. I hate humble pie. On the other hand I got to relive the introducton of Marigold and Momo , Awkward Zone Defeated and a few other key moments. I realize I like some of the experiments Jeph was doing with expressions around the 1400s.

[Kugai]

And Friday will end on a cliffhanger as Yomiko Readman walks in

[Near Lurker]

I remember people setting off fireworks in the street... behind me... while I was in Springfield... at two in the morning.

Suffice to say, fireworks were not my first thought.

[Vurogj]

Wait, so Americans are only free one day a year? Aww, you guys, that's so sad for you. Welp, happy freedom day anyway.

[cesariojpn]

Wait, so Americans are only free one day a year? Aww, you guys, that's so sad for you. Welp, happy freedom day anyway.

The other 364 days are actually Orwellian Police State Funfests. But you didn't hear anything, you didn't see nothing, and you said nothing. 

[WAYF]

Ok, I reverse my prediction. Tai and Dora will hook up, but because of SDCC guest strip week and the phenomenon I've heard lovingly referred to as "Nerd Flu", it's going to take forever for the story arc to actually get to that point.

[Toe]

And somewhere, Yelling Bird's cloaca is getting singed...
