--- Quote from: neurocase on 14 Jan 2016, 02:02 ---Hopefully this leads into a mini-arc where Marigold learns that it's actually okay to hang out with teenagers, to quell the chattering, panicked Americans who seem completely baffled by the idea that you can hang with people outside your age bracket and have it not be creepy/a huge deal.

I don't think "taking a child's companions into consideration" equates into panic, or a plastic bubble. Nor did anyone on the forum say Marigold was a pervert for having a teenage friend. There was one comment that did more than raise an eyebrow, and the poster did say it hit a sore spot, so let's maybe cut them some slack.
I said it would be peculiar if it wasn't Marigold, because Marigold is at least in her late 20's, and Sam is 14. And I stand by that statement, because I am in my late 20's, and I will sometimes say and do things that are inappropriate to do around a child. Pretty sure that's what the "social boundaries" comment was referring to, as well.

Actually, my statement wasn't really referring to the forum itself; moreso the reactions on Twitter and tumblr, which had far more panicky, knee-jerk outcries. I might have made that a little more clear.

Oh. In that case, I apologize. I haven't seen anything on those platforms, so I wasn't aware there was anything more than vague discomfort.
I don't know if it's strictly an American thing, though..but then, I've never met an American parent.
Sam will take away the fact that butts disease is a real issue with some people, and because she is being raised right, she will inquire about Dale's health the next time she visits Momo.
I actually think this arc will show some Marigold improvement. She considered how not to hurt Sam's feelings while extricating herself from a situation she was uncomfortable with, and apologized to Dale for saying something impolite about him.

Butts can explode.

That's certainly the theme of Friday's comic.

What a waste of perfectly good brownie batter.
