Dora and Tai are in a constant state of both making out and not making out until they are observed.  How appropriate.

I shall wear my Schroedinger's Cat tee-shirt in honour of the occasion; for best effect I will put it on before reading the comic.

Maybe I have a weird sense of humor, but I think that a version of that shirt that reads "Schroedinger is dead" would be funny (it wouldn't read "Schroedinger is not dead", because that overlap matrix element is zero).

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams contains a quite good explanation of Schroedinger's Cat, and it's a fantastic book to read besides.

Just noticed something, doing an archive trawl - y'all believe it's been nearly a thousand strips since we've seen Jimbo?
It would be interesting to know what he's working on now.
A book titled 50 Shades of Pink.

You made a prediction and then acknowledged the opposite would probably happen...which means the opposite of that (your original prediction) is probably what will happen.
I did consider the potential paradox while I was posting. I can see two potential resolutions for this. Normally I don't make my predictions known to the forum, and Jeph still does more-or-less the opposite of what I expected. In my opinion that means that whether I state my prediction or not, he's still going to do something I wasn't expecting. That's the first (and I believe most likely) outcome.

The alternative is that now I've predicted two different things, he'll do something which is neither of them. Something really unexpected which I couldn't possibly have predicted. Something interesting and novel. Something really out of left field... which might of course turn out to be incredibly awesome and funny.

These outcomes as well as the ones I deem even less likely are all good. Sometimes I care too a little too much about the characters, and really want one thing or another to happen. That's not the case here. I'm quite happy to just enjoy the ride regardless of destination.

My current QC nightmare scenario (aka: oh I hope this doesn't happen scenario) is that Tai manages to plant one on Dora tomorrow. In the last scene. And then we have to wait through a week of guest strips.

This is a repeat of another filler-art, is it not? (Except this time with Momo's updated "body"?)

And it kinda scares me when Cristi is using the word "vascular"...

EDIT: Oop, never mind - he just posted something he had from his Tumblr a while back.

Man, our intrepid cartoonist (Is it okay to use that term? I don't wanna offend anyone!) can not catch a break. On second thought, wait a minute, artist with terrible luck, who suffers from depression AND is also a ginger?! Coincidence? :psyduck:

Yes, most assuredly.

Quote from: Jeph's comic comment
This has been a weird couple of weeks and I am sorry about that. Hopefully things will return to normal after San Diego Comic Con. I am doing my best.
Hey, Jeph, no need to tell us you're doing your best. We know. I hope you didn't say that for some self-entitled jerkwad giving you grief about not putting up a comic because you put your life ahead of QC.

I don't know who the other character is, but the kitty is not Luna for sure.
Luna has a yellow crescent moon on her forehead, never wore a red scarf (yellow ribbon yes however) and Luna is much more round ish than triangular ish.

Um, does everyone post without even reading the few preceding posts?  Here you will find the names of the characters, and a link to the Wikipedia article on them.

Reading a few other posts seems a fair exchange for expecting your own to be read!

Random Nichijou clip is random.  And extremely weird.  But very funny.   :laugh:

Now all I have to do is find a site where I can get Nichijou videos and my weekend is complete.  (And no, YouTube does not count.)

Ffffff, yes, this one is gold, and quintessential Nichijou.

I mostly wanted to find the original roll cake clip so I could embed the link in the quote "Why do I have to live life with a roll cake in my arm??!" and feel cool.

Anyone wondering if the show makes more sense than those clips: not really.

'round here, roll cakes are bigger tha that.  Those mini chocolate-covered rolls are OK, but here's a image to give you a idea of scale;




Just slice and serve!

So having one in your arm means it takes up most of your arm...

Sounds tasty. Maybe some romaine and roasted red pepper, for color?
