"We didn't invite you here for honest reactions!"

--- Quote from: Castlerook on 24 Apr 2019, 21:16 ---To be fair, Tai invited them to the bar. Which from our perspective, left it leaning heavily towards Dora and Tai getting engaged. I mean, imagine how likely these two scenarios are:
Marten: "Hey Tai, why did you invite us out?"
Tai: "Well, I asked Dora if she would marry me and she said yes. We're engaged!"
Marten: "Congratulations!"
Or....
Marten: "Hey Tai, why did you invite us out?"
Tai: "Well, I asked Dora if she would marry me and she turned me down."
Marten: ".....Oh."

Possibly, but maybe they went from engagement to married. Perhaps they were so in the moment they went to the courthouse and sealed the deal.
BenRG:
This is a hilarious comic. It's the comparison of the two rows that makes it work and especially the facial expressions. If nothing else, I suspect Dora and Tai are more than a little peeved that their highly-neurotic friends are hard-pressed to make this not be about them rather than the happy couple! That said, Faye at least is offering Dora and Tai validation; she clearly thinks that Dora ought to have said yes.
A nice bonus is where Bubbles' hand is: It isn't shifting from Faye's shoulder and that's a wonderfully subtle gesture of support and protection.

Precisely. Sometimes, saying 'congratulations' is enough. Perhaps one should avoid more detailed commentary in situations like this! :laugh:

I have a similar issue. I just sit there thinking 'you do this to yourself by choice. And it costs you so much money.'

Ditto on the I-don't-like-being-drunk train.
For me, most beers taste vile (anything not derived solely from fruit), and being drunk is more frustrating than fun. My inhibitors go up, yet I still get the impaired balance and motor skills. On the taste front, most mixed drinks and hard liquors are okay, but I'm "pretty picky" since I don't do anything bitter.
EDIT: derped out and accidentally deleted the close quotes coding.
EDIT 2: correcting verb-noun agreement.
EDIT 3: correcting typo in previous correction

--- Quote from: TRenn on 24 Apr 2019, 21:18 ---It pleases me that, amongst the four primary "idiots," three have some sort of sheepish grin in panel 4, while Bubbles makes her "savings throw" statement with exactly the same expression.

You beat me to it! :-D
