This is why gingers are evil! Cannibalistic Coiffures!

[CrowFairy]

Ahh, I forgot about the Space Guy! I hope he returns in some form.

Today's comic: I am simultaneously both Emily and Claire in the third panel.

And now you're picturing that special episode of QC Babies where the normally laid back Dale just won't stop pulling little Marigold's hair! Can the QC Babies solve this dire mystery by nap time?!

YESSSS

I've never seen teabagging in world of warcraft, but with the way certain things are, like moon-guard, and goldshire, it wouldn't suprise me.

I once had a tank get us all killed and then proceed to do that. So it's not even just people from opposite factions. :/

[Hi. New to forums, long time fan, lurked a while.  This weeks strip forced me from shadows. HUGE Marigold fan; relate maybe too well.  I have asperger syndrome; social interaction isn't natural to me and I have to work at it.  I also obsessively play World of Warcraft (WoW). I've been known to compare real life (RL) to WoW and sometimes can't turn off the geek.]

Welcome.... Horde scum. (Nah, I'm just kidding. I don't really care about faction lines, and I have several Horde toons myself. ) Seriously, welcome to the forums! We are mostly friendly!

Oh no, Emily turned Claire into Boober Fraggle! 

Hooray, fraggle rock nostalgia. Also, now wondering if there are any Jim Henson chasid anthroPCs in the QC verse

I would get a Kermit AnthroPC right this second if it were available. I would also gladly take an AnthroPC of the Goblin King.

[Sidhekin]

Yeah, I see less trouble with Dale's "stalking" than Angus'.

... or Hanner's.

... or Faye's.

... or even Steve's, I think.

I understand what you're referring to with all the characters in your list except for The Pugnacious Peach. When do you see her as having stalked someone?

I was thinking of her fixation on Sven, peaking when she had his lawyer pegged as a prostitute.  But perhaps being in a "relationship" (of sorts) precludes "stalking"?  Eh, I dunno.

[Valdís]

Please don't cut her hair off Jeph, pwetty please.

..s-Seconded! Oh gods, now it's starting to seem like Marten will have to save her with scissors!  ;_;

But perhaps being in a "relationship" (of sorts) precludes "stalking"?  Eh, I dunno.

Well.. I suppose there's a reason a characterization of being "obsessively clingy and disrespecting of privacy" exists, but that it'd be socially strange to accuse someone of in-relationship stalking unless they're literally following you around like a predator. 

[Is it cold in here?]

Wasn't the relationship over by that point?

Marigirl resumed makeouts with Francis after getting over the spacesickness incident.

[Soulsynger]

Please don't cut her hair off Jeph, pwetty please.

..s-Seconded! Oh gods, now it's starting to seem like Marten will have to save her with scissors!  ;_;

It's been established that Jeph hates hair.

[K1dmor]

Ahh, I forgot about the Space Guy! I hope he returns in some form.

 He will return..in pogs form. 

[Spott-fan]

[Thanks for the warm welcome!]

Am I the only one who thought of Of Mice and Men with today's comic?  "... Soft bunny ..."

[TinPenguin]

See, here I thought she was just doing a little victory dance, mirroring real life.  I'm sad I was not right...

I'm with you there, I thought the same at first glance, then I realised what she was actually doing...

Now if only people would learn not to let Emily anywhere near hair... she's building up a reputation. First Momo, then herself, then sort of Marten, now Claire.

Wait, what'd she do to Marten?

[TinPenguin]

Ah, I had forgotten that.

[Mr. Doctor]

My hair is like that... Her's is longer though.

[Akima]

Redheads have the fewest hair follicles of any hair color, by about 40,000 (blonds have the most), and it's the quantity and fineness of hair that makes it fluffy.

I doubt that is true. East Asians have much thicker individual hair fibres and follicles than Europeans, for example, but fewer follicles per square centimetre, so it is likely that Emily has fewer hairs on her head than Claire.

I don't think Jeph hates hair. Dale has more hair than Dora, Faye and Hanners put together...

[Spriteling]

Perhaps it's just easier to draw short hair?

[ZoeB]

For some reason, I'm reminded of the combination warpizza of vorpal devastation.

It was the late 70's. I guess you had to be there.

YESSSSS do want.

I believe it's in Alarums & Excursions #50 (The Australian coup d'APA issue) or thereabouts.

[jwhouk]

Wig. I'm guessing wig. Very real, as it probably has some AI-like process that makes it feel "fluffy", but it's probably a wig.

[Carl-E]

Redheads have the fewest hair follicles of any hair color, by about 40,000 (blonds have the most), and it's the quantity and fineness of hair that makes it fluffy.

There's also the curliness factor.  Many gingers shave hair that's as curly as your average 'fro (the red headed fro is well known), and it's very easy to get tangled in. 

Edit: an excellent example! 

[Akima]

Redfro!

[Near Lurker]

Wig. I'm guessing wig. Very real, as it probably has some AI-like process that makes it feel "fluffy", but it's probably a wig.

...I'm going to regret asking this, but... why?

[Method of Madness]

Because SCIENCE!

[DSL]

Emily! Stop teasing Claire.

[bhtooefr]

Because SCIENCE!

Actually, I'm wondering if it's because plot.

[jwhouk]

I'm assuming this:

• Despite Claire vehemently denying it, she is probably very physiologically similar to Clinton.
• I suspect that part of her reason for going trans* was because too many people noticed she looked a LOT like her not-a-twin little brother.
• As part of the procedure that gave Clinton his new hand, Claire may have already started inquiring about trans surgery and the like.
• AI may be significantly advanced in the QCverse that synthetic hair feels just like the real thing - and, in fact, the same docs that gave Clinton his hand may have developed Claire's hair. (In fact, trans surgery may be incredibly advanced in the QCverse to the point where she may have looked MORE identical to Clinton when she was a he.)
• Claire's hair may actually be based upon her "real" hair, but held on by special nanoprobes or whatever - which is what Emily got her hands stuck on.
• We all might be over-analyzing the joke, and Emily forgot to wash her hands after eating her lunch of peanut butter and bananas.

* - Don't crucify me for using the term wrong if I did! I'm just trying to make a point!

Yep, regrettin'.

* - Don't crucify me for using the term wrong if I did! I'm just trying to make a point!

That is so not the problem.

[Method of Madness]

It'd be hard to watch that and not react like Emily. Although I'm not sure why Tai thinks its obvious that her skin tone (which is what...slightly less white than Marten?) doesn't go with redhead.

[de_la_Nae]

Huh I just realized she actually asked *permission* before doing something for once. Cool!

Calling it now: Emily has some sort of condition that causes her to experience hallucinations. She and Hannelore eventually collide and...I don't know, annihilate? That doesn't quite seem right now that I think about it.

I suspect that part of her reason for going trans* was because too many people noticed she looked a LOT like her not-a-twin little brother.

So quick confession time: I thought Claire was kind of nifty even before I found out we were in vaguely similar boats gender-wise, because I have a younger brother who is definitely *not* my twin (we were born almost a year apart, though our birthdays are only a couple days apart), but whom traditionally resembles me greatly.
Obviously I can't speak for everyone on this, but ever since I got past, like, 14, I didn't really mind that, though it I do find it nifty that I'm slowly more visually unique.

We're still totally Hivemind though.

[Bluesummers]

I'm laughing at all of you who think Claire is wearing a wig. With proper shampoo/conditioner regimen, any hair can be soft and fluffy. I think everyone's overthinking this. 

She and Hannelore eventually collide and...I don't know, annihilate? That doesn't quite seem right now that I think about it.

That will be a very interesting Singularity...

[WAYF]

Can the next poll be "What's your favourite variant of Tai's hair?"

I'm personally torn between the big green hedge, the flannel and the ... choc chip cookie?

[Bluesummers]

Flannel is nice, but I think the rams horn suit her more.

If you know what I mean.

[Kugai]

I have only one thing to say about Panel 3B



OVER 9000??!!!!











Thank you, I'm here till next Happy Grunthos Day

 

[J]

i like the leopard print hair best.


i gotta find me a lady with leopard print hair.

[Is it cold in here?]

Which of Emily's coworkers will be the next to be treated like a toy?

[de_la_Nae]

Flannel is nice, but I think the rams horn suit her more.

...*ponders*........!
HA! I think I see what you did there.

[hakko504]

Ok, what is Emily taking, and where can I get some?

[slydon]

As a person married to a redhead, I relish being able to play with her hair :3

[Indicible]

Ok, what is Emily taking, and where can I get some?

Well, Tai once saw dragons after dropping acid, so...
Plus, we have the fabulous trips of Walter Bishop to corroborate those effects.
We can conclude LSD, with maybe some variations.

[Soulsynger]

Which of Emily's coworkers will be the next to be treated like a toy?

Marten. Called it.

She already found his hair to be funny. It's IE time. Impending Emily time.

[slydon]

I agree. Marten's pretty much everyone's toy.

[techkid]

I liked the moose antlers, but as an anime fan, I must profess a love of Super Saiyan Tai-geta.

Ok, what is Emily taking, and where can I get some?

She probably got into Tai's "supply" closet...

[TinPenguin]

Why is there NEVER anyone else in the library?

Also, broccoli hair ftw.

[snubnose]

To be honest, I'm a bit annoyed with these GIFs really. They are huge and slow to read, i.e. you have to wait to actually "get" what this is about.

I'm assuming this:

• I suspect that part of her reason for going trans* was because too many people noticed she looked a LOT like her not-a-twin little brother.

Err ... not really .. it might be a welcome side effect, but certainly NOT a *reason*.

[Mr. Doctor]

Slow to read? Meh, I guess it depends on the toater.

I'm assuming this:

• I suspect that part of her reason for going trans* was because too many people noticed she looked a LOT like her not-a-twin little brother.

Uhmmm... what? 


About Tai's hair: I bet it's just "regular brown" in reality or even black.

[snubnose]

Why is there NEVER anyone else in the library?

I guess its a clone of the Sunnydale library[1].

[1] If you dont get it - thats a reference to the Buffy the vampire slayer tv show. Never ANYONE but the Scoobies was in the school library [2]

[2] Except for the one time when they lampshaded it that there usually never was anyone but the Scoobies in the school library [3].

[3] Yes, I read too much tvtropes.org ...

[pwhodges]

They are huge and slow to read,

About double the size of the regular PNG files; not so way out of line for an occasional gag, I'd say.  Jeph pays for the bytes downloaded by his readers, so he's conscious that it's in his own interest not to go over the top.

[Valdís]

..s-Seconded! Oh gods, now it's starting to seem like Marten will have to save her with scissors!  ;_;

/situation averted

• I suspect that part of her reason for going trans* was because too many people noticed she looked a LOT like her not-a-twin little brother.

Completely absurd and nonsensical.

[Moanerette]

This is my favourite one for ages. I mean, it's just fantastic. Go hair!

[slydon]

Oh, the days when 70K was extravagant for a web page.
I can't wait for Jeph to transition to 24 bit color. I did 2 years ago and haven't looked back.


Of course, I have, like 30 readers lol sigh

[Zebediah]

Red hair certainly is possible with Tai's skin. In college I knew a girl with chocolate-brown skin and  flaming orange-red hair. It was quite striking, actually.

Yes, it was her natural hair color. I, uh, checked. 

[Valdís]

Red hair certainly is possible with Tai's skin.

Human genetics is quite a bit more variable than simple groupings like putting those together, yeah. It's just more common. Example of something rarer:

[Border Reiver]

Thank you Jeph for the "hair gif".  I'm still chuckling.  And that's a good thing
