WCDT: 2406-2410 (18-22 March, 2013) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
bhtooefr:
No, you're not the only one.
Which is the entire reason why Jeph's trolling is so effective. :-P :psyduck:
Masterpiece:
This WCDT already has 6 pages and counting... and that after relatively harmless cuddling and a strip of cereal. You're not the only one massively excited about this. Jephzibah is probably as excited as we all are.
jesslc:
Steve's nipples look too close to the sides of his body to me. Also what happened to all the buff muscle he used to have?

It's been forgotten in today's culture but there used to be such a thing as loving someone chastely. Hannelore could manage that if there's a boy somewhere who'd be OK with it.

Forgotten? Or just keeping a low profile? *
The only way I see Hanners having a bf is if Jeph were to introduce an asexual guy to the cast. Which is not that implausible really considering that Jeph often says the theme of QC is inclusion and we've already had straight, lesbian, bi, polyamorous and trans characters so far. Apparently the prevalence of asexuality is estimated at around 1%.
(I know trans is not the same as the other items on the list, as it's to do with gender rather than sexuality, but I couldn't think of a better way to write it. Apologies in advance if I have mucked up).
*the irony of saying something is keeping a low profile while linking to an article on the Guardian has occurred to me yes... :-)

Mind you, Jeph did reverse it, by having Marten freak out and push Padma away...
--- End quote ---
Dunno about that. Padma kinda pushed Marten away slowly because she knew she was moving to take care of her (gran?", so she was cutting him off. Marten took her prodding him away rather badly (probably because of his experience with Faye and Dora). Problem was, he was passive, again, about confronting her until it was too bloody late. In fact, Marten didn't freak out, he wanted to jump head first into a relationship with Padma. Dude dug her like crazy. In fact, I'd say Padma, even over Faye and Dora, he fell the quickest for. I still miss her. :-( Coulda been perfect for ole' Marty. But then, I love women with indian heritage. :-D
--- Quote from: the_masterpiece on 19 Mar 2013, 10:04 ---Looks to me like Steve lost quite a bit of muscle mass in the past few months weeks days. Cosette, are you not helping him work out properly?
Also, I had no idea I could make things glow. I want to sparkle like a pretty princess.
--- End quote ---
Not getting enough sexual workouts is he? Or maybe he is and that's why he's slimming down. Doing all his exercise in the sack instead of at the gym.
--- Quote ---I'm seeing this differently. I think Marten is slowly coming to realize that he actually does have feelings for Claire, and it's not freaking him out nearly as much as he thought it would. Personal revelations like this can sneak up on you sometimes.
--- End quote ---
We'll disagree. At best, I don't think Marten has thoughts or feelings either way for Claire. Honestly, I don't think it has yet entered his mind for him to come to a decision about anything. That said, I think he was merely surprised to have someone using him as a human pillow, which did scare him a bit (the little loop that signifies shivers was in the art on one panel) thought about it, and decided it was fine for now. I mean, not like Marten is an ass. But again, kinda pointless talking about it right now. There's been on indication of Marten's feelings for Claire outside of a solid friendship within the context of the comic so far.

I dunno. I could see Hanners eventually achieving some level of intimacy with a guy. She certainly likes the idea of dating, as evidenced by her curiosity and eventual "fake date" with Sven. She's come a long way with physical forms of expression. Heck, he embraces Marten and never seems to get freaked out other than her "does this count as cheating" gag when Marten was dating Dora.

--- Quote from: GarandMarine on 19 Mar 2013, 00:38 ---[ ... ] The romanticizing of courtly love from Middle Ages Europe is the root of modern chaste love (imho) and the rules of the same saying that a kiss was scandalous, much less anything more then that didn't stop any body. (Your lady fair's husband's mace on the other hand...)

Kinda FTFY. Boy did they rape, inbreed and sinfully lust back then. :-D
On the spoon challenge: Don't have chopsticks at my disposal right now. Can I use a hairdryer instead?
--- End quote ---
That's where I was going with that, the rules and marriage vows didn't stop them consummating all over the place! Even in The Knight of the Cart the origin of Sir Lancelot in the Arthur mythos and one of the origin books for the concept of Courtly Love, Lance still got some from Guinevere.
Hairdryer approved for challenge, take video for youtube!
