There was that one, but also the time right after Momo's first paycheck when she confronted Momo about not making any payments toward the chassis.

[hedgie]

Sometimes a loan turns into a gift.  Certainly happened to me this year when I tried to pay a friend back for helping me out, and they refused to take the money.

[BrusselSprouts]

Last Panel Marigold is so relaxed and comfortable with her body language. It's nice to see her not being super anxious or stressed about anything.

[Gladstone]

Comic's up, although I'm just getting a broken image icon thingy at the moment.

F5F5F5F5F5....

[who?]

Jeph's uploaded a psd file by mistake

F5F5F5F5F5....

you are not the only one. Must have slipped his mind, like when you "attach" and send a file in an email but forget to attach the actual file. Or upload the wrong one. whatever, he'll realize it sooner or later.

[cesium133]

Yeah, I tried viewing the file and it opened in GIMP. I saw Marten and Claire talking but there were no speech bubbles.

[explicit]

That's it! I'm quitting the comic forever!


He did post a bunch of links to other comics, don't remember the last time he did that, maybe I'll try, not like I sleep much anyway.

[Is it cold in here?]

Did you try reading their lips?

[cesium133]

I already closed the file, but I seem to remember Panel 2 Claire looking agitated.

edit -- 'kay it's workin' now

[Rghfrgl]

Panel one Claire is all dawww, then panel two is shocked. Panel 3 is the saddest Claire and 4 is her looking at Marten who just delivered the punchline of the day.

Edit-Hey, complete comics up!

[K1dmor]

 The dialogue in this strip is pretty similar to 2562-2563  .

[Half Empty Coffee Cup]

Ah. Flustration. Also... uh. Last panel. Marten's comment can come off as cutesy or... uh...  Why do I perceive so much room for it to be taken as condescending? Maybe puckish. Puckish is a good word.

[Gladstone]

Panel one Claire is all dawww, then panel two is shocked. Panel 3 is the saddest Claire and 4 is her looking at Marten who just delivered the punchline of the day.

Weird segue, though.  "I accidentally caught some of the library board having sex ALSO YOU'RE PRETTY."

And Claire isn't blushing WHY ISN'T CLAIRE BLUSHING.

Marten is just as bad at segues as his mother.

I was upset too, perfect chance missed.

And if we get something similar to 2564, but with Claire instead of Marigold, I won't complain either.

Panel 3 is the saddest Claire

Saddest Claire looks like Saddest Faye in Panel 4, which worried me a bit.

[Half Empty Coffee Cup]

Looks more like Panicked Claire to my eyes. Caught off-guard, she was.

[Aziraphale]

She says she's flustered, so I'd take her at her word. Besides, her irises are still visible, which means she probably isn't panicked.

[Gladstone]

...And I'm willing to forgive Marten's weird segue because he just looks so HAPPY.  Been a while since we've seen him like that. 

Just don't scare her off, bro.

[hedgie]

What bothered me about this comic was actually panel 1.  That sliver of the ceiling was just distracting.

[BenRG]

So! Marten must be serious about Claire - he's told her the secret of his and Tai's "Get Out of Jail Free" card! Seriously, I'm sure that it's just an amusing anecdote to him. Claire strikes me as the sort who wouldn't need it anyway. Although that might be a new scenario for her mental secret fantasy shipfic folder!

Marten is just as bad at segues as his mother.

Isn't it obvious? She's laughing and he thinks she's pretty when she laughs! He just had to come out and say it! I think the way that he's so into her is cute. Almost as cute as the way that it leaves her totally speechless!

[Lubricus]

Happy Marten is happy! Me like!

[anahata]

Is it just me, or does that last remark "this date is going really well, don't you think?" seem a tad too self-conscious?
It filled me with apprehension. Pride before a fall, or something.
I hope nothing seriously bad ensues.

[BenRG]

When you think of Marten's various stories of hell-dates, I think that he's waiting for the other shoe to drop too! "Well at least nothing has burst into flames... yet!"

[SubaruStephen]

The guy has had some pretty horrendous dates, let him enjoy this one.

[TinPenguin]

Non-sequiturs like that are a good way to fluster people.
Marten just said Claire is cute when flustered.
=> He knows exactly what he is doing.

[osaka]

Oh dear, now I've noticed that Claire has called marten Handsome. Next thing we know May is going to appear with her fist on fire and brand a chibi-anthroPC scar on Marten's face.

And THEN it will be just like Marten's average first date.

[snubnose]

This thread is hillariuos to read right now.

Marten is trying to go easy on her, make her feel good, without being too intrusive. I dont think he's doing a bad job.

[bhtooefr]

That read really awkward, to be honest.

And, Marten is so bad at segues that he should probably avoid eating pretzels, too.

[Lubricus]

Marten should stop talking, right now, and start kissing!

[osaka]

That read really awkward, to be honest.

And, Marten is so bad at segues that he should probably avoid eating pretzels, too.

Do you really think that Jim's pretzels would suck?

[bhtooefr]

Just that they're a choking hazard.

[osaka]

Dammit, didn't think of that. Although he's shown a much higher likelihood of choking on his own foot.

[valkygrrl]

Do you really think that Jim's pretzels would suck?

Just that they're a choking hazard.

It's the sucking that makes them... uh. That.

[Endellion]

When reading this strip in the morning I thought that Marten may have cursed himself by uttering the sort of oneliner that's said before something terrible happens ("I think this date is going really well", he's just setting himself up for cliché to strike).

...and on looking at Jeph's twitter feed I might be right Thanksgiving dramabomb?

Too early.

Prediction: Clinton comes in, and Claire's earlier bravado vanishes like steam from a bathroom mirror. Amid a panic attack, she falls off her chair, headbutts Marten in the junk, and vomits in his lap.

[osaka]

Ah, the classic lapbarfing. Another one of Marten's greatest hits.

Although I'm thinking that it's going to have something to do with the originator of this trend.

Or maybe dilly? Maybe our friendly neighbourhood singing dildo fell down the stairs and is now singing something from *insert sad band here*.

The Emo Dildoes sounds like a band that'd be right at home in the QC-verse.

Good, but somehow we need to find a way to add Hitler to it.

Edit-I think some twitter follower called what's really going to happen tonight.

I smell a horrible...horrible pun...

[MooskiNet]

Padma walks in.

Edit:  I agree with Rghfrgl - I forgot for a moment who Marten is with.   

[Rghfrgl]

But does he laugh at Claire's pun or pull a Marigold and walk out on her?

No middle ground allowed.

[Blackbird]

Tomorrow's QC is PAINFUL. You'll see.

Cut to Steve, who cracks a tooth on a hard piece of cereal.  The Cereal Fairy's revenge. Calling it now.

[Neko_Ali]

I suspect this year's Thanksgivingdramabomb will involve Faye and Angus...

[Endellion]

Padma walks in.

I was thinking along similar lines...I might not be a happy bunny next morning because that'd be as awkward as hell.

[Aziraphale]

I suspect this year's Thanksgivingdramabomb will involve Faye and Angus...

Or Dora/Sven (especially since Jeph hinted that he had longer-term plans for Sven's character). Neither of those storylines is even close to being wrapped up. Faye and Angus's storyline could probably go either way (die on the vine, or one last big conversation), but it's not like Jeph to leave things hanging, at least where the main cast is involved.

[Thrudd]

I was thinking more along the lines of a window being involved somehow. 

[Kugai]

..... Then Clinton walked in ......

[Pilchard123]

A wild Clinton appeared!

[osaka]

MARTEN: "Dang. *gets up* Dang. *walks out* Dang. *Gets home* Dang"
FAYE: "Dang?"
M: "Dang."
F: "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang"
M: *gets it* OH MY GOD. *Runs back at the cafe*
CLAIRE: *sadface*
M: "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG"
C: *No longer sadface*"Dang"

Warning - while you were typing your meme a new one sprouted. You may wish to re-meme.

CLINTON used CHILDISH OVERREACTION
It's not very effective
MARTEN used MASSIVE ZEN
It's supper effective!
