--- Quote from: Fig on 06 Feb 2015, 13:42 ---I absolutely refuse to get contact lenses. Sure, glasses are a pain in the ass to deal with sometimes but the thought of poking something that you normally don't poke day after day is just unnerving. Also the thought of someone carving out my corneas with a laser is enough to send me into full heebie jeebie mode. I like Claire better with her glasses, but I just happen to find people more attractive with glasses more so than not.

I have keratoconus (weird corneas; the wiki link includes a photo as example), and although my optometrist recommended contacts I refused to wear them for several years because I had the same eye-poking issues. But then my glasses broke and I had to confront the fact that my vision was really fucked up and no new pair of glasses could possibly correct it, so I finally gave it and started wearing the contacts. Horribly uncomfortable at first, but once I found the proper fit I got used to them.
Then I lost the lens for my left eye and had to get a corneal transplant, but that's another story. True fact: once you've had a surgeon stitch a dead person's cornea onto your eyeball, then later remove each stitch one by one with a tiny needle, poking yourself in the eye is really no big deal.

I have Keratoconus too. None of the glasses they tried actually work, so I had hard contact lenses when I was a kid, the kind you have to remove with a plunger. They sometimes moved away from the iris, so when that happened I always got terrified it was going behind my eyeball cutting the optical nerve. So then when I was 15 I got a corneal transplant, but one stitch was on the wrong side so it hurt opening they eye so they operated on me again after staying in the hospital for a weekend. I guess the person I received the cornea from must have had bad eye sight too as I don't see much improvement in my left eye.

Wow. When you killed your brother, did you talk just... LIKE... THIS?

Also, really, I can't be the only person who has seen the Marten and Claire strips as breathers. They are stuck in between a lot of other drama strips. If their relationship was super drama too, the whole comic would just be DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA GRIMDARK.

It is no coincidence that a person who styles themselves as the Emperor has, by saying QC shouldn't be grimdark, made it painfully obvious to me that QC needs more grimdark.

The name "Emperor Norton" has historical significance... and it's actually quite funny.

Thank you, this is one of the best things I've read all week. There's an Emperor Norton on two of my favorite forums and in all these years I never once thought the name may be a reference to a real person :)

Since Marten's tamper proof seal is equivalent to bottom-grabbing, I saw nothing wrong with it.

Let's just say that there was something there that the moderators deleted, and there was something wrong with it. I'm actually surprised the whole post and the poster didn't get nuked from orbit.
