--- Quote from: Sorflakne on 27 Oct 2016, 21:55 ---So it just occurred to me, but are the QC characters all just really short? Looking at Bubbles in relation to the door behind her when she has Marten touch her abs, she has to be around or a tad over seven feet tall (going by the average doorframe height of ~7'). Marten's more or less standing straight up in panel 3, but he only comes up to her chest. Rough estimation, but if Bubbles is 7', that means Marten's only about 5'1"-5'4", with Faye being about similar height.

IIRC earlier Bubbles has been said to be 8ft tall, which probably covers everything over 7ft6in. So I suspect that "the doorframe rose to the occasion" (read: Jeph may have copy/pasted a convenient background shot). Somebody here once collected a lot of data concluding that Hanners is the tallest of the girls (Bubbles and Emily had not been introduced at that point) at about 5ft9-10in. Marten is about the same height, Sven something like 6ft2-3in and Elliot may be 6ft5in. I would guess that Dale is also over 6ft - at least he's very climbable.
BenRG:
So, looking forward to next week, anyone care to speculate on what this preview image in Jeph's Twitter feed might be about?
(click to show/hide)Claire seems to be in "Squeeee!" mode here, with Marten standing behind her and looking in the same direction. My guess is that she's reacting to Faye and Bubbles going for the hug. I just hope that she doesn't get it into her head that she needs to 'help' them with any relationship that they may or may not have. I think that it's been said before that Claire is a shipper at heart!
Akima:
Bubbles realises that her Abs() have a positive value.

Uhm, those things were so last year and then some.
Heck they were out of date when they were pushed on the mass market as energy saving, which overall they are not if you include their production.
Also they are a major environmental hazard due to toxic phosphors, mercury and the high levels of UV emitted by the cheaper ones. Also they tend to burst into flame at the most inopportune times.
LED lighting systems when implemented correctly are huge energy savers and way brighter than you would expect.
I replaced all the bathroom bulbs last week [kinda broke one and couldn't find a replacement] and boy am I glad I have a high quality dimmer on that light fixture.
Room went for something out of a Bogart film to a clean room inspection suite.
Now I have to repaint the walls or go with wallpaper because you now you can see every [censored] flaw and blemish..... on the walls dammit.
