Pintsize is not well equipped to be a cuddly friend. Uploading him into a soft fuzzy body might produce what the old IBM manuals called "unpredictable results". Marten doesn't have a Soft Thing to snuggle.

[candlejack]

  Heck, there's honestly been more to go on of Marten and Hanners something in the distant future.

I'm not one to do the whole so and so should be together shipping thing but I'd like to see Marten and Hanners get together. Hanners comes to realize that Marten would be the best guy to help her with her fears and she brings up the idea to Dora and Faye first. Afterwards when she builds up the courage to ask Marten out, he would probably be weirded out by it at first then go with it. The next 1000 strips would show the progression of the relationship between the two and the differences they would have trying to make it work. Their first kiss would probably be an entire picture with everyone standing in the background looking at them. But that would only happen after Hannelore decides she is done being scared of certain intimate contact and grabs Marten and then kisses him... Nah, Jeph would never do that... Or would he?

That would be fun.

By the way, if you're replying to the post immediately above, it's considered poor etiquette on these forums to quote that post.

[Emoroffle]

Screw Marten, I want Claire. That last panel is hot.

[Loki]

By the way, if you're replying to the post immediately above, it's considered poor etiquette on these forums to quote that post.

Unless you are only replying to one specific sentence or so from a lengthy post, then I think it's fine to quote that one sentence (if this is wrong, someone please correct me on this!)

[pwhodges]

That's entirely appropriate.

(Hint: if you didn't know about not quoting the post above unnecessarily, then you are admitting to not having read the rules and explanations.  Tut, tut!)

[bhtooefr]

Yeah, I should've been more clear.

Also when replying to multiple posts in one post, I'd consider it fine (but I'm no moderator).

And, re: Claire, I think the correct wording is either DAAAAAAANG or rghfrgl. (But, it's also generally considered creepy and bad around here to ship oneself with a character, I thought. Where's the bearhat guy comic of what not to do?)

[pwhodges]

Of course.  It's simply a matter of saving bandwidth and screen space by not including anything that's unnecessary - the first saves Jeph's money, and the second makes the thread easier to read.

But no one complains about posts that quote, say, images, or whole posts to comment on one point. This very thread is full of both.

[Zebediah]

So far this week in QC, a total of three and a half words have been uttered.

And we have made nine pages of posts about those three and a half words. No, we're not over-analyzing this a bit, are we? 

[Welu]

over-analyzing

There's no such thing round these parts.

[Kugai]

Dang

[mtmerrick]

Marten doesn't even have a stuffed animal to cuddle. He must be in a state of deprivation. Dora has Mieville, Faye had her stuffed giraffe, but all Marten has is a lump of hard plastic.

Are you calling Claire a "lump of hard plastic"? 

Vibrator? Sex toy? Pintsize?

http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=107

Yup. Vibrator.

[pwhodges]

But no one complains about posts that quote, say, images, or whole posts to comment on one point. This very thread is full of both.

It's been a while since I had a blitz on it, admittedly; going on about it can get tedious as well.  Note that quoting images, irritating though it can be, doesn't impact on Jeph's bandwidth, because they have to be hosted elsewhere.

The only image quoting in this thread is of the image you posted; the first quote is on a different page, and for comparison with another image, which is sensible - the other two are superfluous.  The text quoting in this thread is not generally excessive, I'd say, though it could be reduced a bit in places.

[Is it cold in here?]

Over-analyzing is explicitly and specifically allowed by Word of Jeph.

[Near Lurker]

Didn't one of the forum guidelines use to be "OCD is bad"?

[Zebediah]

All right, by tomorrow morning I expect to see at least six pages on "The Meaning of Over-Analysis". 

[RedWolf4]

Can you imagine the debate that would cause? The mods would have to break out the riot gear.

[Emoroffle]

And, re: Claire, I think the correct wording is either DAAAAAAANG or rghfrgl. (But, it's also generally considered creepy and bad around here to ship oneself with a character, I thought. Where's the bearhat guy comic of what not to do?)

Ok less with the creepy, got it.

[K1dmor]

Or, y'know, it's morning and it's light out! 

Look at the lampshade. It is lit only on one side. The lamp is obviously turned off.

In my defense, the lampshade is the same in #2405-06. They didn't turn on/off the lamp, but the "roof light" (?).

[jwhouk]

One of the main reasons I still enjoy doing QC after almost 10 years is the feeling of satisfaction I get when I finish a comic I’m particularly happy with. It doesn’t happen every time, but when it does it makes everything else worthwhile.

[jwhouk]

What the fuck? I clicked next and the dialog has been changed...and rather poorly done. Last panel of comic 10.

I suspect that Jeph got a little nervous about using the "R" word.


EDIT: The trouble with working overnights is that you don't get ninja'd, you get D'OH!-ed

[Mr_Rose]

I have said before that sleepy-Claire is adorable and I maintain that is true, but I'm just not seeing "sexy" or "daaaang" in today's strip?

That might be because Susan ruined me for all other comic characters ever though.

[Zebediah]

Well, tastes differ. I think Claire is more cute than hot, but I'm not going to argue with anyone who thinks she's the distilled essence of hotness.

[Is it cold in here?]

Didn't one of the forum guidelines use to be "OCD is bad"?

Yes, the no-nitpicking rule.

"I don't care if people overanalyze things. I mean, I think it's stupid, and they're wrong 99% of the time, but that's kind of what forums are FOR."

[vforvancouver]

All things considered, how and why Claire awoke in the other bed? I think I have a working hypothesis because something similar happened to me:

I got to share a room with a girl after a wild, wild wedding party back in my hometown. She needed a room, mine had two beds, I offered to share, she agreed. When we got back to the room, she went to the bathroom to freshen up a little and take off her dress, while I took my suit. We started to recount and review the party and we crashed at my bed because it was the one in front of the bathroom. Suddenly, we were asleep.

I woke up briefly because I felt my leg was hurting a little (I had a surgery a few months before the wedding and even today my leg hurts if I can't move it for a long time) and found she was cuddling.  I moved my leg and she, like Claire, went rhfgljfk, so I stayed in bed with her and went back to sleep. Time passes and my leg hurts again, so I have to move it. Also, she's not there. She's in her bed.

She woke in the middle of the night, went to the bathroom, did what she had to do, and went back to bed. She didn't remember she fall asleep with me, so she went to her bed and rolled in the blankets. And that's it.

Besides, the girl was my half-sister. It was a bonding moment for us: now I consider her my full-sister.

You never know; it worked with Reynardine.

[candlejack]

So, is anyone else spamming the refresh button waiting for the new comic?

[Method of Madness]

Nah, I'll probably just check in the morning.

[Sidhekin]

You never know

Sounds unpredictable to me.

... or was that predictable?

[hakko504]

Does not compute. Most cats emphatically DON'T LIKE to be hugged for extended periods of time and they will make it known, should you attempt to do so. Probably with making a bloodbath out of your hands.

I know you said most cats, but you should meet mine. I've actually woken up after sleeping during the day to find him IN my bed, half under the covers, tucked under my arm. He is adorable (and slightly derpy) .

EDIT: Hm. It seems I had this thread open in multiple tabs. My bad.

I have on a few occasions woken up using my larger cat as a pillow without him complaining. Then again, if anyone but me (including my wife) tries to hold my smaller cat, he will produce said bloodbath if held too tight.

[pwhodges]

So, is anyone else spamming the refresh button waiting for the new comic?

Years back people here used to post just:

F5, F5, F5!

It got pretty boring.  These days you check his twitter to see when he started drawing and check back after 2.5 hours (2 min, 3.5 max) - or even click the link he posts to watch him drawing it. Tonight's comic is late,'cos he slept all day.

[bhtooefr]

I have said before that sleepy-Claire is adorable and I maintain that is true, but I'm just not seeing "sexy" or "daaaang" in today's strip?

It all depends on what people are attracted to.

I... may have a weakness for adorable redheads with Claire's body type.

[aldonius]

Did someone a while back predict that Veronica would look to start dating again post-wedding? I seem to recall it.

Anyway, well done that person.

[bhtooefr]

 

Looks like Henry's gone from someone who's horrible at segues, to someone who's horrible at analogies.

(Please nobody extract the obvious and horrible, yet unintentional, pun from that sentence.)

[GarandMarine]

Veronica is so awesome <3

[Lubricus]

Maybe the connection is that Veronica is going to start dating a volcano?

[greywolfe]

I was under the impression that Faye was taken?

Volcano attacks two gay men on honeymoon, claims it was not a hate crime.

In further news, crowds march on Washington to protest against intolerance shown by Volcanos, demand equal rights for everyone to being buried under lava.

I gotta say, I'm liking Dad Harder more and more

[Tova]

I thought elephants were nature's elephants.

[Lubricus]

Elephants are obviously nature's sloths.

You're thinking of the average reality TV viewer, not elephants.

No, those are slugs. They're more oily and watery.

Don't be so quick to unzip next time.

I noticed that Veronica looked off, then I realized we've never seen her without lipstick, and in this comic she just doesn't look like Veronica. Weird how that can happen. It's that thing of you never think about how one little feature can totally change how someone looks to you, like my Uncle looks really weird to me without his beard.

Also I'm now curious as to what I look like without sideburns, I've had them for so long.

As though that would of changed THAT outcome.
