I still say we should come up with a "forum-created guest comic" for Jeph to use at some point...
I was just thinking. The craziest thing Jeph could do to us would be to redo Comic 623 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=623), but replace Dora with Padma.
Going to?
If you suspect that you have been exposed to the butt disease, you are advised to eat nothing butt rump roast and turn the other cheek.For some reason that joke sounds like it should be on M.A.S.H
an unexplainable fascination with callipygian art.In layman's terms, an sudden interest in "dat ass".
BUTTSBUTTSBUTTSBUTTSBUTTSBUTTS
I mean...
What a fascinating comic.
Technically, you're correct. But this is the butts DISEASE. Because the disease spreads upon contact with a carrier, the avian form is a risk to the psychological well-being of the public. No reports of avian-to-human infection have been confirmed as of today, but an advisory has been issued, and parental guidance is recommended. After all, no cure for the butts disease is known. Early symptoms include an unexplainable fascination with callipygian art. If you suspect that you have been exposed to the butt disease, you are advised to eat nothing butt rump roast and turn the other cheek.
Technically, you're correct.The best kind of correct.
The real problems will begin when Randy starts talking repeatedly about butts. Vulgarity from Yelling Bird is a given, but from the Eternal One? Be afraid, my friends, be afraid.
The best kind of correct.Futurama quote
No offense, but in this context the correct term would have been "blissfully ignorant". :DGoing to?

Does it mean that I am a hopeless nerd if I point out that Charles Darwin's historic work was actually titled "On The Origin Of Species"?
PANTSLESS TUESDAY!!!

Why do I get the feeling this is gonna deteriorate into a debate between sorta-old and kinda-old people about the "old times" being much better than "today's youth"...Better yet, young and free again with the accumulated wisdom you've already obtained. :wink:
I'll drink to that. What's the discussion forum beer of choice for drinking in agreement? Don't want to commit a faux pas with my Yuengling Black&Tan or Negro Modelo.
See, I was right, they were at Marten's. And I am still curious why they didn't go to Padma's when they were right by the door.
[ ... ]
OK, why am I even thinking about this??
gotta love those rebound relationships... somehow though, i doubt padma is also wandering around in a lovey-eyed daze without her pants.
I dunno about Padma in particular, but I know sex is... :evil:
In particular, the shrubbery's different.

Self medicating? :angel:I dunno about Padma in particular, but I know sex is... :evil:
Ain't that the truth. My favorite form of self-medicating. Pretty good for depression too,
Ahh, to be young again...and also a robot.Fix'd :mrgreen:
lets just hope he was wearing plain boxers and not the ones with little hearts on 'em.

Now there's a vision ............................................
:-o
Having Marten's relationships with Dora and Padma spiral into something like Catherine (http://www.amazon.com/Catherine-Playstation-3/dp/B004P7VGF2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323819294&sr=8-1) would make me laugh.
And it would make the appearance (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1293) of that creepy tapir in Hannelore's mind that much more relevant and foreshadowing!
Hey, some people really really like A Shrubbery... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UbtcmjfKa8)
NO RULES MEANS NO PANTS.
Sorry, I had to. :P And if somebody gets the reference, well, that's absolutely fantastic.
Are the streets of Northampton deserted, or does nobody think it odd when people walk down the street without pants? I distinctly remember Hannelore doing something like this before (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=800).
heh, i remember hearing a comic talking about how if he was about to get in a fight, the first thing he'd start doing is stripping... because who wants to get in a fight with a naked dude?Are the streets of Northampton deserted, or does nobody think it odd when people walk down the street without pants? I distinctly remember Hannelore doing something like this before (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=800).
Would you stop someone in either a daze or a funk walking down the street in their undies?
Yeah, me neither.
Maybe Padma is strong anti-anxiety (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=800) medication.

He just walked into the library of an all-girls university without pants? Either campus security is sleeping on the job or they're used to far stranger things.

Well... studies have shown that having sex the evening before a huge exam/test actually helps with performance anxiety... maybe in Marten's case it even helps with "life anxiety"?

COMIC.ItsodoesITSODOES!
And of course Dora's emergency skirt doesn't really fit the situation!
Why do I get the impression that Dora never caused Marten to leave the house sans pants?
Actually, I get the impression that she HAS caused him to leave the house sans pants. Multiple times. She certainly doesn't seem to regard it as unusual. :P
COMIC.
And of course Dora's emergency skirt (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=801) wouldn't really suit!
That or maybe he still has some happy batter or euphoria fluid (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1779) somewhere on parts of him that are off-panel.Actually, I get the impression that she HAS caused him to leave the house sans pants. Multiple times. She certainly doesn't seem to regard it as unusual. :P
Yeah, I agree. She seems mighty familiar with the situation.
my baseless speculation for the week is thus:
Marten will continue to lack pants and receive sass for it
Somehow this forum will manage to remove anything funny from a dude wandering around sans pants and will get caught in an argument loop
And there's been another art-shift? Dora looks strange in this strip, especially in profile in the third panel.
COMIC.

EDIT: By GOD, who the put up the new poll? That "filed at the library" joke is possibly the nerdiest I've ever seen... :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck:
Actually, though, panel fours eyes... creepy and adorable at the same time. Like a damn furby.
dammit why am I making hair comments? I could care less about hair!
Next: Dora gives Marten a hug, Padma walks in on them, flips out and dumps him: Vicious cycle complete!That's horrible!
(NB: They are not praying mantises)
-snip-
4. It definitely will be some good drama and comedy when Dora and Padma meet together to discuss their own experiences with their nice indie boy. It will also be interesting to see what Dora has to say to Marten about the counting-down timer on Padma's eventual departure.
In strip 1928, Padma seems to be reacting violently to Jim's ham-handed pickup line -- why the heck would she? Unless JIM AND PADMA used to be a couple (omg, the boss dating an employee). So maybe that sets up yet another weird parallel: there might be Renee/Faye and Dora/Padma, but maybe there's a Marten/Jim parallel going on as well.I think Faye and Padma are just rasslin'
OK, the underwear thing...They can ride up. It doesn't get much worse than mildly uncomfortable when walking.
How the hell do you fit baggy boxers into skinny-ass jeans? I don't wear either myself, but it just seems... uncomfortable, at best.
Why would you willingly put up with even "mildly uncomfortable while walking"?
Just wear something that fits instead...
And there's been another art-shift? Dora looks strange in this strip, especially in profile in the third panel.
The medical term for Martin's condition: Sexhaustion-induced Pantsnesia.
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week...
Panel 4 Dora just looks a little crosseyed to me.
Where is Marten keeping his apartment key? Looks like he'll have to wait for Faye with her key, or maybe Hannelore with whatever she uses to breach the defenses of Castle Reedaker.
Why would you willingly put up with even "mildly uncomfortable while walking"?

Some people prefer style to comfort.
Surely when it comes to underwear, comfort should be the only relevant matter? Although we could just be getting back into "Daaaang" territory again.
Actually, the title was On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.

Pintsize could let him in. After all he has some way of getting in and out of the apartment, even though he doesn't seem tall enough to reach the doorknob.

Sorry for the rant, but from personal experience this has always struck me as a very odd question in these circumstances.
she seems chill enough.
By the way - how does Marten get into his appartment ? He has no pants - where would he have his keys ?
Why is Raven acting so surprised and saddened now? She already knew (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2029).

Why is Raven acting so surprised and saddened now? She already knew (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2029).Mayhaps Raven is pretending she didn't know as to not tip Dora off that Raven knew about this before (which would imply she heard this news from somewhere else and that Dora is being kept out of the loop.)

Is it just me, or does Dora look manly in some of the panels? She looked manly in the last panel yesterday.IMHO she always was kind of a tommyboy.
I fully expect the ultimate result of the Padma/Marten hookup and breakup will be the proverbial slap-in-the-face that Marten needs to wake up.You're harsh, and I dont know for what reason. What do you expect Marten to do ?
E.g., Padma saying something like "You wanna be with me? You? Dude, you have no prospects. You're floating through life. And that's just not attractive for the long term. It was fun. See ya."

... and at least get a revelation from it. Realizing would be the first step. A decline in attractiveness when you have nothing going on in your life is a very real thing.
... on the other hand, Faye and some other cast members have equally little going on in their life for the long run but we never complain about them. I wonder why.
Dude. Is there a rule on when to use in- and when to use un- for negating adverbs/adjectives? I keep confusing the two.

So if she is, does she step in and try to "save" him as a friend? Does she organize the CoD crew for wacky hijinx in order to intervene? Does she sit back and wait to be the friend/shoulder to mope on when Padma does leave? Etc., Etc..
Lots of different ways it could go, if Dora gets more involved in the ongoing plot. Or not, if it's just a one-off.
it wouldn't be English without complications. 8-)English slippery like eel! :-)

Oh. and I love Marten's casual acceptance of his pantslessness. That seems a "new marten" kind of thing...or have we ever seen Marten in the throes of Sleep Madness?
Recently Laid Marten don't care.
Raven's slowing down. Did she even TRY to grab that boxer'd indie ass?
OK, so first time poster, long timer lurker, yadda yadda...Just once I'd like to read that reversely said by someone.

I agree that Dora kind of feels like a meddler/manipulater type, but she never seems to do anything like that.Hm... the VERY early storielines come to mind. I've always had the feeling she kinda navigated Faye and Marten into finally talking about things between them in the open. I can't shake the feeling there were ulterior motives for her back then.

She doesn't like bony bottoms (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=495).
Well, to be fair, we don't know whether Elliott knows about him and Padma yet.

I think Elliot knows what's going on, and this is his way of telling Marten that he's OK with it.

Poor cringing Marten.
Maybe being unsatisfied with Marten's efforts Padma has gone for some hot, hot Elliott action afterwards?
Am I the first one to think that the reason Elliott is high-fiving is because he is only aware Padma is staying longer, which means Elliott thinks he may have a chance of some sort?
Actually, the forum assumptions I've seen people make during this arc really give me the feeling that a lot of the forum thinks the QC is composed of terrible, terrible people.
Come on, people. We aren't dealing with a cast of Mengeles here. Give Jeph SOME credit for creating characters with enough humanity in them to actually think about each other.
I can't help but crack up at the 3rd panel.
Am I the first one to think that the reason Elliott is high-fiving is because he is only aware Padma is staying longer, which means Elliott thinks he may have a chance of some sort? Or am I just too accepting of the application of Murphy's Law?
Cringing Marten sounds like the name of a bird.Very funny, and gets my Internets. Still, the bird's name is spelled "Martin." A Cringing Marten is clearly a small carnivore, a new subspecies of this part of the Mustelinae family. So: "It is an omnivore, favouring a wide variety of foodstuffs: although it normaly feeds on squirrels, mice, rabbits, birds, fish, insects, and eggs, the Cringing Marten will also eat fruit and nuts when these are available, and is passingly fond of pancakes. Its colouring is subdued, ranging from brown to a light blud grey, often sporting odd markings in darker hues that some have humorously suggested appear to be slogans or the name of obscure musical collectives. The creature gets iys odd name from its non-aggressive tendencies, together with a decided predilection for moping."
"The Cringing Marten is commonly found in the Northeastern United States. It is an onnivore, favouring a wide variety of foodstuffs. Its plumage is subdued, ranging from brown to a light blud grey."
Hahaha, I just found my new title.Who starts a high five with a clenched fist?
I thought it would be a Brofist. (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/images/090811.jpg)
Extras take their time to settle in. We've been seeing a lot of the little redheaded girl lately (no, I am not calling her Sweet-tits, they really don't look the same), but aside from her I think Jeph just has a pallette of types he uses.
In fact I have no idea how they are supposed to be related beyond having slightly the same shade of hair, which could just mean they favour the same brand of dye.

This one doesn't look like Sweet-Tits because she isn't. Sweet-Tits shows up sometimes, and this girl's never been seen before.
All unidentified female background characters are Sweet-tits, except the ones who are not.
Elliott's not the type to intentionally mess with someone.
Mabe he's just being [ahem] the bigger man...
I'm Sorry. Really, I mean... sorry...
Hasn't Jeph been hinting on Tumblr that the background redhead has a future?

Though the smile on Elliot's face in the third panel looks so funny with the closed fist.
I prefer the interpretation that Elliot is high-fiving Marten because he isn't wearing pants.

Same. Otherwise, he's taking the pants-lackage in stride.
