Hmm, I just noticed that Claire had also rghfrgl'd in #2367, over Steve's shoulders.

She's remembering the lake, her natural habitat.  All the signs were there, why didn't I see it before?!?

[mtmerrick]

Knowing Jephzibah, our Trollmaster, it could still happen.

o_O I read that as Jephlizabeth o_O

[Narcolepto]

The closest I could imagine to a "violent" reaction from him would be along the lines of a louder-than-necessary "Guh?!" or "Huh-buh-duh-wha?!?"

Sword drawing while quoting MST3K.

Faye pushes Marten aside before he blows.

To be fair, both of those incidents involved Hannelore getting really scared and/or bothered and about to lose it, and we all know that Hanners triggers Marten's protective instincts. You can't hold him responsible for violence when it comes to Hanners, he's just like a mama bear protecting her defenseless cubs!

[cesariojpn]

A whole different kind of sad is Dakimakura, body length pillows that usually have a scantily clad anime character on them.

[Narcolepto]

In comic 2370, why is Claire going all "luckyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" when she's talking about Dora and Martens past relationship? It almost sounds as if she's a bit envious (I was gonna say jealous, but maybe jealous is too strong a word for this).

I used to think she was being envious of Marten having dated Dora, but that didn't make any sense to me, and considering todays comic, I think she was being envious of Dora instead?

Maybe I'm reading stuff into this.
(also, is it offensive if I assume that Claire shows interest in men rather than women, because of being transgender? Is it offensive that I'm thinking about possibly being offensive? ARGH)

It was discussed back then, so you can check the thread for that week. I interpreted it as "Marten, you were a lucky person to date her." without Claire attaching anything of herself to that statement.

Nah, for reading to much into things and recursive panoffensiveness, you have come to the right place.

See I saw it as her being envious of Dora, especially after how she gets WAY SUPER PISSED at her and protective of Marten.

[Tova]

I wish you hadn't mentioned Ralph Fiennes, because now I'm just thinking how disappointed I was by Skyfall...but that's for another thread.

Goodness, what a polarising film that turned out to be. I'd be interested to follow, and contribute to, that thread if/when it turns up. Especially since I am working my way through my new Bond set on blu-ray right now (seen from the beginning up to and including The Man with the Golden Gun so far).

[Kugai]

Good gravy!  Four pages already?!!!

Now that's where it get's interesting!!!!       


Oh, and Dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

hai jeph i improved ur comic

THWEEEEEEEEEEET


Foul!! 20 minutes in the Penalty Box with a drunken Samurai

[westrim]

Further adding to the rationale for the girl in the picture: Those anime body-length pillow cases usually have a 'PG' side and a 'PG-13+' side, depending on the artist, character, and property involved.

That 8-to-12-year-old is probably seeing the same character partially falling out of a neglige on the other side of the pillow.

For the record, I don't own any of these items, but I have seen them advertised.

Possibly the other side according to this image.

Warning: First image involves a skintight bodysuit. Second image is gigantic and runs from PG to R to illegal to purchase if it were real or you are Canadian or Texan.

Edit: Sorry about all the editing, I'm not sure if the first image is too large or getting nuked. Making it just a link.

[Loki]

Possibly the other side according to this image (both are too big or something.)

Warning: Image linked is NSFW due to containing mild nudity and/or loli.

THWEEEEEEEEEEET

Oh come on. You knew Willis was gonna do it sooner or later. Give that poor AA Samurai his medication back and leave him alone.

That's a lotta nudity. But at least it's discreetly censored where appropriate. /facepalm

[BubbaTech]

I was thinking to myself the other day, hmmmmm  I wonder how long it will take for claire and Martin to end up in bed together???  I guess My self question has been answered...

[Method of Madness]

...So everyone ready for 4 panels of Steve eating cereal up next?

Or maybe him filing some paperwork at the local DKYA headquarters.

[pwhodges]

I was thinking to myself the other day, hmmmmm  I wonder how long it will take for claire and Martin to end up in bed together???  I guess My self question has been answered...

Well, they haven't actually made it to being in bed, but otherwise, yes.

[Abyssalin]

It's all above board... and bedsheets.

[Method of Madness]

Is being under the covers a requirement for being "in" bed? If someone is sleeping on a bed, I'd consider them in bed.

[Abyssalin]

Well to be honest i split it between "If i'm on a bed but not going to sleep then im on the bed, if i'm going to sleep on a bed then i'm in bed"

But that's my way of doing it, unsure how others do.

[Zebediah]

Well, they're both certainly ON the bed. Fully clothed, no covers, not even to first base, but  by the most literal definition they are in fact "sleeping with each other."

[GarandMarine]

True intimacy is farting in each other's presence without getting embarrassed.

[Sassafras]

Oh wow, ha ha, I've seen that anime and I absolutely LOATHE that character!  Becoming a body pillow is sadly a continuation of her stupid function in the story.

Edit: for slight increase in clarity

[de_la_Nae]

Damnit, I have been trying to cut back on sweets.

[Mr_Rose]

So… that picture. The EXIF data suggests that it was a self-timer shot. I wonder why?

[Bluesummers]

Because the waifu knows not the operations of camera.

Is it bad that I am COMPLETELY unfazed by this picture?

[de_la_Nae]

Is it bad that I kind of want to steal panel 3 for an avatar, not because it's cute (though it really is), but because then I could could be the after-shot to your avatar, Blue?

[westrim]

Is it bad that I am COMPLETELY unfazed by this picture?

I believe you mean the possible reverse side, and that he meant the giant composite image.

[LeeC]

when single I typically sleep with my arm around a pillow, its a comfort thing, but I do not think I could ever get a body pillow.

sorry I am no James Franco...

[FunkyTuba]

ohai guys how was everyone's weekend. I just relaxed an bit and washed my....DAWWWW ALERT! DAWWW ALERT!


D'AWWWWWWWWWWW is apparently the new DAAAAAAAAAAAAAYMN DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG

Edit: FMP

[jwhouk]

####, there went my streak of consecutive threads started without a moderator lock.

[Method of Madness]

Not your fault. And FunkyTuba, don't you mean the new DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG?

[Is it cold in here?]

Maximize DANG for great DANGNESS.

[Arancaytar]

(also, is it offensive if I assume that Claire shows interest in men rather than women, because of being transgender? Is it offensive that I'm thinking about possibly being offensive? ARGH)

Well, Cllaire has explicitly stated her attraction.

She's also called Hanners pretty, and all of Marten's friends "really attractive". Though that doesn't necessarily imply she's attracted to them.

[FunkyTuba]

(oops post fixed)

[jwhouk]

I know it wasn't me. Just... dang. It's like losing a perfect game on a bad call by an umpire.

Anyways - I sleep with a body pillow. I'm a side-sleeper, so there.

I'd love to have tomorrow's punchline involve Steve sitting down to eat a bowl of cereal, and Cosette asking, "What are you doing?"

"Sorry, but all of a sudden I had this urge to eat a bowl of cereal!"

I can't think of any interpretation of macho that includes holding a pillow at a bar.

"Here's the wife hur hur."
Making fun of guys who are lonely, and hug their pillows. Objectifying women too. The wink and the upraised glass in the pub would seem to support that, as well as the expression of the girl in the background.

keep in mind that in evolutionary terms, we're not all that far off from the hunter-gatherer apes we once were. many human behaviors we have today are holdovers from that time. while they can seem obsolete & outright ridiculous now, it really wasn't all that long ago that they played an important roll in our survival & evolutionary fitness.

-"Haha, you're emotionally vulnerable." = "I am asserting my dominance & superiority to the tribe."
-"Wachu look'n at punk?" = "I have identified a potential rival to be destroyed."
-"Nope, that didn't hurt. I'm fine. Don't help me. It totally didn't hurt." = "I am not easily susceptible to injury, and thus an good breeding stock."
-"Ten bags of groceries? No problem, I got this. No, they're not too heavy, just go unlock the door." = "I will demonstrate my strength and competence as a provider by single-handedly killing a mastodon for you.

[Madmartigan]

Only a douchey friend wakes you up in the middle of the night when you're fast sleep.

Particularly when you're black out drunk and comfortably sleeping.  Good form, Marten.

As someone who requires a pillow in my arms to sleep properly (you kinda need one when you're a "sleep on your side sleeper" comic is completely normal.  Whoever takes my pillow gets slapped.

You would have a great point if this were 60 years ago and evolutionary psychology wasn't completely discredited.

[squeegee]

WTF is with the Steve+Cereal references? Clue me.

[Method of Madness]

I don't think it's an actual thing, someone just thought of the filleriest filler they could think of, and everyone else just went with it.

[cesium133]

WTF is with the Steve+Cereal references? Clue me.

From Jeph's Twitter

[TheCollyWolly]

Guys, I don't think Jeph was joking about the next comic being Steve eating cereal for four panels.

[mustang6172]

You don't really know how much you miss Steve until he's gone.

[celticgeek]

Not just cereal:  CRUNCHOS!!!!

[TheCollyWolly]

I'm thinking the chances that Steve is wearing any clothing at all are not looking good.

[FunkyTuba]

I think someone dared him to .... willis? randy? danielle? angela? emily? ryan?

WHO WAS IT?

[Valdís]

Are we sure this isn't just a dream-sequence of Claire's? Maybe we aren't actually seeing what's goin' on with Steve at all.

For all we know he eats his cereal wearing.. clothes! The horror..!

[TheEvilDog]

Bravo Mr. Jacques, bravo you magnificent bastard

I've been laughing at the comic for the last five minutes, its just so ridiculously absurd, its brilliant.

[willpell]

Steve comic is the ultimate "Take That".  I cannot help but approve.

(Not sure how I feel about the <- and -> key browsing option.  Could be convenient or annoying, will have to see.)
