Well then...
I suppose this week we'll see Faye unhinge her jaw and eat Sven alive?!
We can only hope.
Hah, Steve's shirt.

OMG, you all may hate me and think this is lame but wouldn't Hanners/Steve be an interesting concept? Him with his women issues and her with her...issues...
I don't know, I probably think i am lame as well. It just jumped right out at me as I read the comic.
I'm done now.
Anyone else notice Marten's gay-but-not-awkward-about-it pose in the first panel?
Also could be a touching-himself-in-a-nonchalant-way pose.
I would part with disgusting amounts of money for Steve's shirt.

On the first part, not getting the gay, but I am wondering what his foot could be resting on. On the second part, I'm kind of with you. it looks like his hand is either part-way under his shirt or his fingers are turned in resting roughly on his equipemnt. I find both positions mildly suspect. :laugh:
Actually, they covered this before. Her actual comment was something to the effect of it being easier to keep hardwood clean. I'll see if I can find it.
It's after midnight and there doesn't seem to be a WCT yet.That's because some of us can't tell if one's been made, and lack the cajones to make one for fear there might be two WCTs for one week. If there ever were, of course, the universe might instantly implode. We don't wish to risk it. I hate the new 'all in one' QC Discussion. Yes, hate it. Bleah.
I'd maybe buy that. Except I'm saving all my money to buy an expensive musical instrument that I'm way too excited about, to the point where I link to it in forum posts that have nothing at all to do with it (http://megatar.com).

For some reason Jeph neglected to post the full bread comic, so at great personal expense and effort I have faithfully restored it.
First of all, did you have to post the picture and a link? Second of all, I don't get it at all. Explain.
Jeph just said in his Twitter that Dr. Corrine is back in tonight's strip.
It truly is a time for nearly forgotten characters to return! :mrgreen:
What's next, will Angus and Hanner's mom come back and have a three-way with Jimbo? stay tuned!
tuned!
WUGH! Angus/Jimbo/Hyperbitch 3way? My brain! It's like a webcomic goatse, it cannot be unimagined.
You know, I'd love to see Hanners' mom meet Marten's mom. They're both assured, strong women; it would be interesting to see how they'd interact. Hell, let's throw Faye's Mom and Dora's mom into the mix and really see the fur fly!
Mrs. Whitaker would sit there passively, possibly shocked if she knows what Veronica does/did for a living, but not showing it.
Ms. Bianchi would be stoned, and everyone else would soon realize this and ignore her except for Mrs. Whitaker. See above.
Veronica would do her best to politely ignore Hanners' mother and try to talk to the other two. See above.
Mrs. Ellicott-Chatham would be doing her best to leave: these people are not capitally significant, and therefore not worth her time.
Fur would not fly. Uncomfortable silence might smother, though.
I have a hunch that monster trucks cause significantly more problems than they solve.
Hanners has an interesting dream life. Now all Tai has to do is stick a Tape Recorder under her pillow with a subliminal message for a week and she's in.
Alright, there's the obligatory HanTai reference.
I suppose if you can't be sulky and immature with your therapist, who can you be that way with?
Malli-Kite, if you, at whatever age you've attained, don't occasionally wish for an easier way out of something painful, then you must be a heroic stoic. Nobody likes to undergo personal growth except for flakes who only think they're doing so by moaning at crystals, doing mescaline**, swimming with dolphins, ad nauseam.*
Remember, ideally, talking to a shrink is like talking to yourself, only with (hopefully) better answers.
*Not that there's anything wrong with trying new stuff. Just don't actually expect it to make you a better person. You'll still be basically the same ass—just a more experienced ass.
**Unless you're doing it the right way. Carlos Castaneda was basically full of it, but even so, I wouldn't exactly call what he, er, his character went through in The Teachings of Don Juan a fun ride.
Hell, no decent lasting relationship exists without some conflict and some hard times, misunderstandings and anger and even the occasional Major Fuckup, but it's the working through that makes the relationship stronger.
For all the QC fans who enjoy YouTube Poops (yes, both of you). Sorry Jeph but I couldn't resist.

Yes, Radiohead is the cause of all of our problems.

Made me wonder how much longer they all got to be twentysomethings?Well, Dora was 26 way back in comic 144 (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=144), and I figure Marten was a year or two out of college at that time... call it 22 or 23. Given that Jeph has never figured out how much time has gone by, and we just had a small timeskip, I'd randomly guess that it's been about a year since then. So Dora would be 27, Marten 23 or 24, and Faye, Hanners and Steve are all about that age as well. So Dora will be ready for Carousel in three years comic time, with Marten et al following three/four years later.

This just made me realize that The Man and I have been together coming up on 12 years and we've not had a single "Major Fuckup" in our relationship. Most of our mad-ons are minor and worked out in a day or so. I hope this doesn't mean we're due.
I've never felt comfortable talking to therapists. I got no problem telling them all about things that have happened in my past and how I feel about it, but I don't like to tell them about current stuff and how I feel now. Besides, they're all nuts, that's why most of them became therapists. The last one I had was bat-shit crazy. I think I knew more about her issues than she did about mine before she pronounced me cured. :roll:
Personally, I don't think she was being particularly childish. So what if she makes a couple of whiny remarks to her therapist? It's not like she's going around pulling a "why me?" I think she's handled the whole situation in a rather adult manner.
But even now, it's hard to watch someone make mistakes you already made. Even in fictional characters, it's distressing.

For the first point, half the idea behind a therapist is to be able to share with someone who's not directly involved in current events. I feel your pain though because while years of therapy as a child taught me to say "I feel this way because of this blah blah blah" to anyone who asks sharing things that actually make me feel something is an entirely different proposition and very difficult if I don't feel close to the person which funnily enough isn't going to go so well if they won't/can't share about themselves.

Due to my irrational hatred of Thom Yorke's voice, the last line of this comic is probably the most hilarious thing I've ever seen in QC.

Unless it's Faye. Then it makes me giggle.
S
How do you through a beer bottle ironically? Does it have to be Pabst Blue Ribbon?
agreed, though, Marten should just call him. it's not like natasha was all that important.
If you might as well shave off your beard, then Hannelore needs to cut off all her hair, as a beard is the same thing. (Seriously, I hope Hannelore DOESN'T get that idea.)
lolz, someone likes...hairy men?Only on the face and forearms. And head.
agreed, though, Marten should just call him. it's not like natasha was all that important.
Hmmmm... Maybe you need Iron City (http://www.ironcitybrewingcompany.com/) beer in order to throw the bottles ironically.You, sir, have no shame. I like that.
Hmmm... Sven's countrified guitar might be just what they need on Death Comes To The Unicorn Prince.And more cowbell. you can never have enough cowbell.*imagines an entire drumkit made of nothing but different cowbells*
Although I think they need more bagpipe.
I will only karaoke if there is some sort of shielding between me and those forced to listen. Ever since that tragic Dancing Queen incident ... *shudders* ... well, it's for everyone's safety really. :cry:
:-D
Personally, I'd recommend Old Milwakee for throwing - it certainly isn't intended for internal use.
American beers I've never heard of?
I've had to google all these...
... how about they throw a Double brown?
Hah
Personally, I'd recommend Old Milwakee for throwing - it certainly isn't intended for internal use.Or a Schaefer beer. I think it only comes in cans though... the bottle costs more than the beer inside, or should. When someone throws a Schaefer beer at you, you know his heart's not in it.
He didn't plan nor want to be honest. I wonder how Faye will react when she finds out the truth.
Here:
Hanners and Head Lice (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=663)
Glad to see that Faye's actually seeing sense, instead of being clouded by the thought of Sven cheating on her. It's a big step up for Sven, admitting all this, too
Our characters have evolved. Aw
Ok, I've officially gone too far. Marten looked....HUNKY...in the first panel today. I mean, I know it was just perspective, but he suddenly had the wide shoulder/narrow hip thing going. Optical illusion or not, it was effective. I am disturbed. The last time I got lusty thought for a comic character, it was Samuri Jack and I stopped watching because it was WRONG.

Thanks, I had forgotten about that. Though for once her fears were founded. I hated when I had to shave off my hair when I was little. Though it made me get over it much quicker.
===================
Now I'm skipping ahead to todays comic. I honestly do think that Faye getting back with Sven would be a good idea, if you end up knowing a persons pitfalls, and what his/her limits are, the relationship has a much better chance of lasting longer. Come to think of it, I don't know of many people who are ever on the same terms after an incident like that, if faye can manage it, she's got some major Chutzpah. Still, I do wish for a "better and more stable" person for Faye, but frankly, I think she might find happiness with him.
Eh, I am getting tired of the Faye/Sven drama though.
I think we somewhat agree, but I will elaborate in order to clarify my earlier post. I was trying to get something out there before going to work, after all.He didn't plan nor want to be honest. I wonder how Faye will react when she finds out the truth.
Ok, some jumping up and down here. Your comment hit me sideways. :-o
What truth? Who in their right mind WANTS to tell someone else they did something awful and acted like an ass? As for planning, who plans that sort of thing? You do it or you don't do it. No one had a gun to his head. Lydia's threats were hardly a major force except to perhaps point out that honesty was the better way. In fact, that might have been a preferred method of delivering the bad news -- have someone else do it and just slither away until everything blew over. He wasn't trapped into the confession -- he invited her to his place to tell her. He accepted the consequences. What else is he supposed to do?
Seriously, how would Faye react if someone said to her "Well, he didn't WANT to tell you, and he didn't PLAN to tell you, but he still told you face to face." Probably with a big "And your point is...?"
OK, jumping up and down is over. Wanna cookie? :wink:
I think we somewhat agree, but I will elaborate in order to clarify my earlier post. I was trying to get something out there before going to work, after all.
First, as for whether it'd be better or worse for Lydia to have broken the news instead: I'm thinking worse. See, we can see from this comic (#1359) that Faye does seem somewhat consoled by the way he did things. She's saying, "well, at least he was honest". It shows that it's important to her.
Lydia's bound to show up at some point and rant about how Sven has been treating her ever since this incident. Again, soap opera comic. I doubt something like that will just hang around forever. Faye's perception of his actions will change. I think she'll be disappointed and/or pissed off.
That'd be fairly low of Lydia to do that. I mean, she might grouch to her friends, but I don't see how the CoD crew, which, not counting Faye, she barely knows, qualifies as people to bitch to (rememeber, she's only gone to CoD when Sven sent her, telling me it's not a local joint for her). The only thing she can hope to accomplish is to make even more trouble for Sven, making him even angrier, and make Faye feel worse, which more or less nullifies what Lyds was trying to accomplish in the first place. I don't think there's any possible benefit beyond that.
Hopefully, Lydia is mature enough to understand that if you give out advice, you can expect some blame if it's followed, however unfair that might seem. That's why it's best to stifle the urge unless it's really, really important to you.
