Panels 2 and 3 are obvious caption-bait.

Really? You wouldn't mind being a bandicoot for all eternity?

Who said I'd have to be? I'm fairly certain Randy is a bandicoot because he chooses to be so.

Comic's up!

Geez Marten, you've made bad decisions before, but WOW. Good luck taking ANYONE out on a date now, because all you'll have are FOODSTAMPS.

"Yes, I'd like the quarter-pound of store-brand bologna, and my date will have a dented can of crushed pineapple."

Yeah, I went there.

Faye used to be cooler with silly guitar purchases.

badbum61 · « **Reply #113 on:** 02 Apr 2013, 23:06 »

Panel three: are Faye's boobs REALLY lop-sided, or is the Bearmonster a trompe l'oeil whose eyes follow you around the room?

I'm liking the earlier comic updates....

Loki · « **Reply #115 on:** 02 Apr 2013, 23:51 »

Ohgosh Marten.

I am not sure whether I want Jeph to drop a monetary deus ex machina on him again (cf: tax return, Hannermom bet). He should work for this.

Anyone care to analyze how this purchase was inspired by Henri's wedding and the situation with Claire?

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #116 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 00:21 »

Maybe he uses guitars to distract him from life?

~~cesariojpn~~ · « **Reply #117 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 00:32 »

Wow, this storyline has gone down faster than the Titanic. Maybe I should go and check in Collar6 if has gotten out of that whole Atlantis mumbo jumbo.......

He wiped out his savings, not his income.

Geez, everyone's acting like he just took a loan against his testicles. He paid with money he already had. The object of his desire might not have been especially sound, but his method of payment was as sound as possible.

Yes, he could have done something really stupid, like put it on a credit-card, or borrow money to buy a new car...

I think we're being negative waves is that the storyline took an abrupt turn from Claire+Marten "shipping"/trolling to him buying something expensive completely out of left field. I understand fully it's Jeph's comic and he has every right to do as he pleases, but for some of us readers, the sudden shift is abit jarring.

Eh, it's just the comic storyline marching on. Sometimes it takes turns that defy Elucidation space.

I know Marten's feelings though. Whenever I handle a beautifully crafted sword, I have to resist the urge to break out the credit card (obviously that only happens in very rare cases, but still).

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #122 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 01:25 »

Well this was a pretty jarring shift, even for QC.

"And now for something completely different"

mtmerrick · « **Reply #123 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 01:30 »

Eh, it's buildup to an entirely new arc. If it were a TV show, I'd be the start of a new season. It doesn't bother me one bit. (though admittedly I am disappointed that we're not seeing me of marten & Claire)

also swords are awesome. Once I have my own place, and, y'know, money, I want one. A REAL one. Either a hand-and-a-half, or a katana. And I'm gonna learn how to use it god dammit.

TinPenguin · « **Reply #124 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 01:31 »

Oh, Faye, you've changed your tune.

The sword handling or the credit card out-breaking?

I'm fine with the bayonet and kris (sword, not dagger) in my garage, though both need repairs- the bayonet especially, since my10 year old reaction at finding a short sword was to use it for yard pruning, so now it has a couple notches. I didn't find the kris until I was more mature, and the hilt is loose anyway. I've practiced with the bayonet a bit, and think I prefer short sword handling to the more iconic swords, simply because it doesn't feel so heavy it's hammertime.

Not really?
I think the volume was mostly surprise… it's not like she continued to rant ad nauseam or anything.

Besides I thought she only approved of good guitar purchases?

Is that related to Euclidian space?

If that's an autocorrect, it's epic. If it's a pun, I think I'd prefer lower case, but it's still a win.

techkid · « **Reply #128 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 03:58 »

Marten certainly came out of left field with the guitar purchase. He may yet start getting serious and reform the band (YAY for character development!).

Besides, it's entirely possible that Jeph is still trolling us.

Lubricus · « **Reply #129 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 04:07 »

Maybe he'll invite Claire to join the band, SO HE CAN HAVE MUSICAL MAKEOUTS WITH HER!

We need a poll for what instrument she would play.

I vote keyboard.

Lubricus · « **Reply #131 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 04:24 »

Maybe she'll sing? The band lacks a singer.

Quite librarian by day, headbanging drummer by night.

Edit-And I can see why he'd take a break from Claire. I'm on board the ship, but she's had a lot of screen time. Gotta pace things.

DON'T TRY TO SQUEEZE HANNERS OUT OF THE BAND BRO

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #137 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 04:46 »

Nah, Claire can ride herd on a squadron of timpani. And maybe she can ring Hanners' gong?

They've talked about having a singer before. They're an instrumental band by default, not design.

ihaveavoice · « **Reply #140 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 04:54 »

FLUTES ARE TOTALLY AWESOME until a spring decides it hates you so much that multiple repairs at multiple shops and a last-ditch (unsightly) effort to wrangle it with tape cannot prevent it from popping loose and turning all your Ds into D flats. Nrgh.

I sort of admire people who are able to plunk down way too much money on something they really want - I went back and forth for days about buying myself a ten dollar necklace that I still might return.

Rghfrgl · « **Reply #141 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 05:08 »

While we're no doubt going far from the actual direction of the comic, I'm curious, could Claire sing? Or would singing make her revert to her old voice?

Border Reiver · « **Reply #142 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 05:24 »

Somehow I think Tai's new bitch was expecting a slightly different response from Faye - like "Cool guitar."

Zebediah · « **Reply #143 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 05:34 »

Claire would totally play violin. Turns out she's been the fiddle player for a country-western band for several years. When she joins Deathmøle, it will become the first country metal band, launching an entirely new genre that will revolutionize the world of music for a generation.

RedWolf4 · « **Reply #144 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 05:37 »

ScruffCardinale · « **Reply #145 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 05:49 »

i have no real idea why, but i really don't care for the idea of marten and claire as anything more than just platonic, so i'm pretty happy that a new arc's begun.

ankhtahr · « **Reply #146 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 06:01 »

I'm pretty sure he expected an answer in the vibe of 52. "That is a highly irresponsible action, but guitars are awesome, so I cannot be upset!"
