A new week, and a special Yelling Bird poll!

[cesium133]

I would think there would be more Longhorns fans than Aggies fans in Austin...

[DSL]

Here's my prediction, statistically derived from numbers, and things that look like numbers, pulled out of thin air.

Not only is Yelling Bird

a ####ing AI,

he's the

****ing AI Queen.

[jwhouk]

It was because a "stupid ####ing Aggie" won the Heisman on Saturday.

[WAYF]

@#$% IS THIS BEING REDACTED AGAIN #@$% $%#$%^$# #$^#@$@#$#$.

I predict that Shebly will interrupt.

They announced the Heisman already? I guess that shows how much I pay attention to college football...

[cesariojpn]

Waiting for QC to update. Already on Volume 5 of Demon Candy Parallel.

*cicadas buzzing in the background*

[westrim]

It looks like Jeph has finally taken my  (yes, mine, I'm sure he regularly searches the forum for comments I made two years ago and other times that I didn't use the search term "Jeph") and is relaxing about giving us a proper comic 5 days a week every week

[Sorflakne]

Haven't seen Yelling Bird in awhile.

I imagine throwing hammers is like throwing axes: extremely fun and destructive; if I don't buy any gear at Ren Faires, much of my money goes to the throwing ax booth (and archery range).

[hakko504]

<Stifling a yawn>

I'll go back to bed now. Please wake me up when the real QC continues.

[Toe]

Yes, but what KIND of hammer does Jeph throw for his physical therapy?

[Is it cold in here?]

I'm trying to make a Thor joke and failing. Maybe I should go to bed.

[westrim]

Yes, but what KIND of hammer does Jeph throw for his physical therapy?

Images

This kind of hammer:

It's an emcee hammer, geddit? Master of ceremonies, MC, MC Hammer?

..Sorry.

[slydon]

Not only can't I touch this, I won't.

[idontunderstand]

Toe: I like how you posted everything but a good old regular hammer. What's the first picture supposed to be really? That looks really impractical.

[Toe]

Not only can't I touch this, I won't.

That's probably for the best. You wouldn't want to touch something that was stuck in Yelling Bird's cloaca.

[Carl-E]

So I'm reading the comic, and notice the ad at the bottom...

[Toe]

Symbolizing Jeph's desires to jam more knives into his body?

[Carl-E]

Augh!  Lost part of the post editing the pic size. 

Just observing that it's knives instead of hammers, but that it was pretty close for a smart ad...

[WAYF]

Now I've got Tim Minchin's "The Hammer" ringing in my ears. Damnit.

[Tova]

The third panel was strangely satisfying.

yes indeed. thank you sir, for helping rescue our dear artist from his self-destructive habits.

really though, it is good to hear that he's relaxing a bit. i hate to see creative people grind themselves down by continually forcing productivity.



of course, now i'm kind of wondering if yelling bird is & has always been jeph giving public voice to his inner daemons. and we've all just been laughing at it for all these years.

[Akima]

[Overkillengine]

Yelling Bird is entertaining enough to my warped psyche that I certainly don't mind Jeph taking a rest. Hell, take a week off!


If nothing else I can feast on the tears and outrage of those that are upset that there isn't a a free web-comic update every day.

[Is it cold in here?]

Cue Yelling Bird singing "If I Had a Hammer".

He should be grateful Jeph wasn't throwing sickles at him.

[riccostar]

I want to be your sledgehammer

Why don't you call my name?

These two lines have been on repeat in my head since I saw the update.

It's late. I have a 14 hour Finals marathon in 8 hours...

[Blackjoker]

Hmmm...well this does answer that pintsize indeed has a sense of taste, also that he might remember what happened during hte cake mix incident.

[westrim]

Slim jims are congealed grease, slightly flavored. I have turned them down for free when I was hungry, and I never turn down free food even when not hungry.

Looks like everybody... *glasses* ...just got ######.

[Is it cold in here?]

The cake mix incident was before he got his spectrometer installed.

[Soulsynger]

Whew! Glad to know Pintsize can still be annoying just for the sake of annoying.

[K1dmor]

Hmmm...well this does answer that pintsize indeed has a sense of taste...

 I thought that was clear since #212 

 

[Is it cold in here?]

The way he decorates the apartment when he gets the chance calls into question whether he has any sense of taste.

Hahaha. Nyom nyom nyom. The worst thing about strips like this is that I can never explain why I think they're funny. "Oh it's like this little robot and he's like nyom nyom haha you should see it and marten is like DUUUUDE and uh it's so funny you've gotta see it....".

[Bev]

I really think Jeph is enjoying the shit out of drawing Pintsize these days. He hasn't been the most emotive character in the past, in terms of facial expressions, but now he's gone a bit crazy with the anime-esque mouths.

[cpflux]

Snap into a Slim Jim!

!miJ milS a otni panS

[Border Reiver]

Read Jeph's comment in the newsbox and the first thought into my head was, "Slim Jims aren't food, but they do play them on TV."

[anahata]

I can never explain why I think they're funny.

Pintsize's facial expressions are what do it for me.

I really think Jeph is enjoying the shit out of drawing Pintsize these days

Yep. He's very good at that.

[Welu]

Yes, but what KIND of hammer does Jeph throw for his physical therapy?

[Various Hammers]

Late to say it but I laughed so hard.

~ ~

I really liked today's strip. After reading it I had to sound it out for extra amusement.

[SomeCanadianWeirdo]

Add another member to the "I really like Pintsize's expressions these last few strips" Club.  Given the revelation he perhaps should have been with someone besides Marten Pintsize is likely to be a bit insufferable for the foreseeable future.

[DSL]

I really think Jeph is enjoying the shit out of drawing Pintsize these days. He hasn't been the most emotive character in the past, in terms of facial expressions, but now he's gone a bit crazy with the anime-esque mouths.

Thing is, Jeph did a great job conveying Pintsize's attitudes and expressions with little more than the vacant eyes, the straight-line mouth and one or two variations of the open mouth; mostly it was context and body attitude. Could be interesting to see where he takes Pintsize's new expressiveness.

[Redball]

Do we have to figure out how this sentient metallic device changes expression? Has it already been figured out? Can we let it be and enjoy it?

[Is it cold in here?]

We probably should, but we're addicted to overanalyzing.

I may come up with an idea when I wake up fully.

[westrim]

Memory metals.

[JorickHorn]

Pintsize is turning into Calvin's dad http://www.thepracticalnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/calvinhobbes.gif

Check out panel #2, compare to the last panel in the QC strip. The whole thing made me think of Hobbes savoring a Tuna sandwich, but I couldn't find any actual examples of Hobbes making that face.
