Apparently "slate" is another word for bluish-gray. I didn't know that.

...what the heck does J/O friendly mean?  They'll happily serve Hope Chapman?

[WAYF]

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that, even though I don't even watch That Guy With the Glasses that much.

(For those of you who watch even less than me, J/O = JesuOtaku, the character played by Hope Chapman who reviews... anime related things, I guess?)

I've been thinking. Yelling Bird strips are a fantastic way of easing the pressure on Jeph. I mean, I like the regularly scheduled updates and everything, but Questionable Content just wouldn't be the same without a foul-mouthed bird interrupting the story every once in a while.

Also, misread that as "bags of heron". Wow, that's a hungry seagull.

[cesariojpn]

Hey mods, how sexually explicit can I be before I get banned?

[Method of Madness]

Well if it's comic-related it's fine, but if it's inappropriate put it in a spoiler tag.

[pwhodges]

This forum is intended to be a pleasant place to post and interact with other QC fans, and I intend to keep it that way.

[...]

Porn, gore, and other offensive material will get you banned. Immediately.

Beyond that, we use our judgement.

[Near Lurker]

(For those of you who watch even less than me, J/O = JesuOtaku, the character played by Hope Chapman who reviews... anime related things, I guess?)

She comes from an old team of anime reviewers, and she oversaw a dub of the Fruits Basket radio dramas, but I for one mostly know her as Girlfriend of Angry Fat Jesus.

[XSin]

Dress 3 is very nice, not what you'd wear to a wedding but damn cute

[Smerf]

*bursts in*
 
Nobody expects the ECCC plague!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
...except anyone who's been to a con.  Seriously, how do you not know to expect the plague?  It seems like you catch it from some con every year.

[Carl-E]

(J/O = JesuOtaku, the character played by Hope Chapman who reviews... anime related things, I guess?)

Too obscure, even for this audience. 

I'm-a gonna ninja cesariojpn, J/O is text slang for jack off. 


Hey, it's yelling bird, after all.  Who else would look for a starbucks where he could do that? 



Please, don't answer that. 

[Lummer]

As much as I really, really like the current arc and the fleshing out of Claire as a character, I just really really really love Yelling Bird.

[Aethien]

Who wouldn't?

[WAYF]

Oh! To be clear, I wasn't implying that J/O actually meant JesuOtaku. That was just my train of thought. I couldn't actually think of what it might mean.

Carl-E, I like your theory in the sense that I think it is correct. I don't like it otherwise. Damnit Yelling Bird.
Cesario, I really really wouldn't.

And thinking about it some more, I suppose Claire didn't choose the pink dress because it's too eye-catching; would draw attention away from the grooms and to herself. Which is very bad form.

[jwhouk]

All right, I just came to ask, about poll answer #2: brown?  I see a red dress...

You clearly have screwed up colour-vision.. Sorry.. 

(Everyone play along, it couldn't possibly be a mistake in the poll!)

Yes, there are no mistakes in the poll. The red dress is really brown. The cocktail dress is not mistakenly called a pantsuit. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along.

Oh, shut up.

WhatColor told me that one dress was brown. I am Color Deficient with severe Deuteranopia. Sue me.

And I've never seen a cocktail dress that looked that much like a pantsuit.

[jwhouk]

So - which dress? (strip 2397)

1 (Dark Green with Frill Crossover)    8 (14.8%)
2 (Brown with odd bustline)    1 (1.9%) <== Okay, it appears that I got a tinge of her ponytail when I moused-over it. It's apparently a Dark Red.
3 (Slate Tunic)    8 (14.8%)
4 (Pink Pantsuit)    1 (1.9%)  <== And it IS a pantsuit. So there.
5 (Turquoise Top)    3 (5.6%)
6 (Björk Björk Björk)    1 (1.9%)
7 (The Blue Dress)    14 (25.9%) <== Is it strange that we all have the same taste as a web comic character?
8 (Princess Peach!)    4 (7.4%)
I'm torn.    2 (3.7%)
She looks cute in ALL of them!    4 (7.4%)
Meh.    1 (1.9%)

Sue me.

FINE, I WILL!

[jwhouk]

Uh, WAYF? Little help?

[pwhodges]

WhatColor told me that one dress was brown.

I'm as happy with calling that brown as red, frankly.

[Valdís]

Uh, WAYF? Little help?

"WAYF"? She's from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, anyhow. She often screams she'll sue everyone for any disagreement.

(Edit: Right! Another person in here. First thought went to being some acronym/initialism I couldn't find.)

That's crazy-talk, it's dead-center in the red palette!

[Aethien]

Uh, WAYF? Little help?

"WAYF"? She's from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, anyhow. She often screams she'll sue everyone for any disagreement.

She does this because she's American/grew up in America. Got to love stereotypes, no?

And this is to test your color vision, to solve  the whole dress colour thing.



Also, it's really just red, no other colour than red. And the pink one is a dress, it may look like a pantsuit because she has her left leg forward so there's a fold right at the legs that makes it look a little like it's got legs.

[Valdís]

She does this because she's American/grew up in America. Got to love stereotypes, no?

They don't ever say it's America. In fact people presume she's great at English just for being foreign, despite actually being terrible at it to the point of barely communicating (and gets caught out around other foreigners). She's probably just personally demented. It's not like Mr. Despair has a particularly normal bunch.

[Aethien]

He's not exactly normal either.

Maybe I should watch the series again sometime, it's been years.

[Is it cold in here?]

Also, misread that as "bags of heron". Wow, that's a hungry seagull.

As confused as Raven, since it probably wanted herring instead.

[Aethien]

Herrings are pretty birds.

[Loki]

And this is to test your color vision, to solve  the whole dress colour thing.

I got 28. Apparently, I suck at green-blue and red-orange.

Herrings are pretty birds.

Hey, are those red herrings?

[bhtooefr]

I scored 12, on a 6-bit IPS panel. Seemed to be weak in the blue-green. (Display quality matters on this test, for what it's worth.)

[Carl-E]

OK, I'll use screen resolution as my excuse for the 42. 

[pwhodges]

11 here.  But the colour swatch at the end is shown with distinct banding on my monitor.

[Carl-E]

I'm working on an Acer netbook - the screen's the size of a large index card...

[Valdís]

I got a 2. Wonder if I could have gotten a perfect score if I spent more time on it? 

"FACT: 1 out of 255 women and 1 out of 12 men have some form of color vision deficiency."

Get your shit together, Y-chromosome. That's a sad stat difference. 

[Near Lurker]

I got a thirty-two... apparently my problem is right in the middle of the greens.  I got the feeling during the test that my glasses and my dirty screen were getting in the way?  Dunno.

[bhtooefr]

I should clarify, screen size and resolution have no bearing on this test's accuracy.

Only color accuracy, and the ability to render high color detail. (So, a 10-bit panel (if the images were in a 30-bit format, which they aren't) would be best, an 8-bit panel pretending to be a 10-bit panel would be very good, an 8-bit panel would be good, a 6-bit panel pretending to be an 8-bit panel may visibly "flicker" and be mediocre, and a 6-bit panel would be bad.)

[Method of Madness]

Get your shit together, Y-chromosome. That's a sad stat difference. 

It's actually the X-chromosome that's the problem. It only affects you if all your X-chromosomes have that problem, which makes it much more likely for males because "all" is just one instead of two.

[Bluesummers]

I got a twenty. I'm not surprised, my eyes are terrible. I have three blind spots in one eye and four in the other. It was kinda sad, doing the "find your blind spot" test in science class.

[Sidhekin]

I got 61.  Frankly I figure I only got that low because of minute brightness differences ...

(It's been 22 ½ years since I was first told I have reduced colour vision.  My brother, who at the time was working as a ship's captain, was kinda worried when I told him, knowing that it could be hereditary ... the helmsman had better be able to tell red from green, no matter how faint or foggy!)

[riccostar]

Imagine how much money you could make if you discovered that seagulls were actually just made of heroin.

[Akima]

You want homoerotic subtext, you need to watch Lady General Hua Mulan, a Huangmei opera from the 60s.

Hua Mulan didn't need to be a princess to be awesome. Pretty much every modern work based on her legend has homoerotic touches. The original, being mainly based on filial piety, not so much. Blood-spattered armour makes a bold fashion statement. Red is always a good colour for Chinese girls.

[Loki]

Red is always a good colour for Chinese girls.

*looks to the left of your post* Yes, indeed 

[riccostar]

Not to extend my streak of posting seemingly under the influence (and I might be totally late on the uptake here) but woah, real news there was.

[Aethien]

Real news? Who what where now?

[WAYF]

Uh, WAYF? Little help?

Sure! Uh, what kind of help?
Do I have a certain habit when posting on these forums that can deal with lawsuits?
That'd be an awesome Very Mild Superpower actually.

Uh, you there! Sassy anime character!


Take that!

[Kugai]

There is no Yelling Bird, there is only Zuul

[jwhouk]

And this is to test your color vision, to solve  the whole dress colour thing.

219.

[riccostar]

Real news? Who what where now?

Right up at the top man, where there is never supposed to be news! It was telling us that QC is entertaining or something like that. Crazy stuff 

[Aethien]

It's been doing that for as long as I've been posting here.




Which is about a week or so?

[henri bemis]

And this is to test your color vision, to solve  the whole dress colour thing.

31, but I was sure I nailed it!  I'm blaming it on my monitor.

I liked the red dress, though.  That fancy bustline?! 

[SLC_Fan]

And this is to test your color vision, to solve  the whole dress colour thing.

3 - But I got bored after a while and gave up on the last set....

And I still haven't figured out what J/O Friendly is.....

[DSL]

It means a man and his sock are welcome.

It means you can watch a Star Wars festival featuring Han Solo.

It means you can go there with your date, Rosie Palms.

It means you might see the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Bates.

[jwhouk]

I wasn't kidding about the 219, by the way.

[Aethien]

It's ok, you probably have other talents.
