WCDT strips 3681 to 3685 (19-23 February 2018)

<< < (19/57) > >>

Reaver:
The thing that shot him in the foot was the air quotes prettier thing....

Dale there's honest, then there's telling your insecure girlfriend that your coworker is prettier than her.

zisraelsen:
I wonder if Marigold will run into Momo and get advice from that front.  Hopefully we get a rehash of this strip except Marigold will say something like "I apologize for allowing my insecurities to cause me to behave irrationally. I should have discussed them with you instead of storming off." And Dale will just be like "sorry I was such a fuckstick"

JRDelirio:
This has been a very skillful piece by Jeph -- Marigold's initial fit of jealousy with the totally over-the-top absurd internal scenario would have seemed at first just laugh fodder, "oh Marigold's being so silly"(*)... until Dale fails at situational awareness and walks... no, scratch that, runs full tilt headfirst over the edge of the pit.   Because yes, insecurity WILL make you perceive what others view as absurd and stupid scenarios as a real threat, and the other person responding with nothing but Fail just reinforces it. Maybe he'd have been better off just doing a Marten-style bwuh-huh?whaa? at the first sign of trouble, but that would have required catching the first sign. Now we have drama. 

And yes, Emily is in an unjust position of collateral damage when her intentions were entirely friendly all along.


(*Really... that was no top shelf hentai her imagination came up with.  Then again we remember from back here, that her slashfic was critiqued by Tai as clumsily written since she'd think it obvious that if she was turned on by the scenario, others would be)

Gyrre:

--- Quote from: BenRG on 19 Feb 2018, 23:20 ---I'm pretty sure that everyone (and I mean everyone) would have taken a 'how to relationship' class if it existed and was actually worth a damn. As one or both of those criteria are never met, I'm thinking that this is simply something that you can't teach. Dale, like the rest of us, is going to have to muddle through this with the occasional blow to the head from a clue-hammer wielded by his friends.

Now, I want to talk about May's recreational reading: It's interesting to see Jeph recall that May really doesn't want to be humanoid at all. She wants to be a fighter jet and she still keeps up with what I presume is a high-performance aviation lifestyle magazine. Obviously, AIs attempting to embezzle to get a fighter drone chassis is a significant problem, given the PSA on the back page: "Don't do crime to be a plane!" It's clearly a lesson that May had to learn the hard way!

Who'd like to see May become a 'plane, maybe something like a Quinjet from the MCU, and still try to keep up with her friends?

--- End quote ---

Make sure she at least has a GIR-walk mode so she isn't stuck in a hangar or on a tarmac when she isn't flying.

A Duck:
There is a class on "how to do relationships"

Sadly, however, it's called "fuck up a few relationships until you hopefully learn your goddamn lessons"
