I doubt it will be in a Dora/Sven hook-up strip,
Run, before someone coins the term "Handora"!
This comic is totally making fun of people who get all boner'd out over Hanners. YOU PEOPLE ARE WEIRD SHE IS A CARTOON CHARACTER I MADE UP
Have you noted Jeph's comment on this strip in the RSS feed?Meh. Hanners doesn't do it for me, personally, but I don't see how it's any different than getting "boner'd out" over any other completely unattainable girl. What about fantasy girls made up in one's own mind; is it also weird to fantasy about them, or only ones that other people make up? *shrug* What about celebrities? What is the actual difference? You can say celebrities are real, but they are just as untouchable, unattainable, so I don't really buy the distinction, since it is just fantasy that we're talking about.QuoteThis comic is totally making fun of people who get all boner'd out over Hanners.

Yeah but Jeph didn't make them up. It's weird to him because of that.
I actually prefer Doralorre.

Nah, Handora is better, 'cause it sounds a bit like "Pandora" which is just hilariously appropriate.
My bad...I just had Dora on my mind. It's been fixed to say "Faye/Sven hook-up strip." :oops:I doubt it will be in a Dora/Sven hook-up strip,
Dear LORD I hope not!
That would be just bizarre.

she isn't flirting with her she is just being a smart ass.

I did a celebrity once. Believe me, that's far more attainable than a comic character.

And Pandora sounds kind of like "pandering".
And then you get "Handoras Boxes" and everything goes downhill.
Every fetish and fantasy is open game to make fun of. Here that furry-people?

How exactly does one 'ear' a low-cut top?
New comic is hilarious, Marten's a liar.
If Marten's telling the truth, he's way overcontrolled.
Every time I go into an IHOP I put in a customer comment card reading "WE WANT NEVER ENDING BACON".
Would that not be the most awesome IHOP promotion in the history of EVER?
Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha.If Marten's telling the truth, he's way overcontrolled.
Nah, he's just a decent human being who respects his partner.

The Jeph overlord is always watching.
He's gonna kill us all one day, probably in ink.
Edit: The "Look, Don't Touch" with the "I'm prettiest" catch is reasonable. My husband and I have this rule with each other and so far, so good. I know he's gonna look. If he's not looking, he's blind or dead. Just no touching and I get to be his favorite. Same for me -- I can look all I want, but nothing else, and he's always the best. It's a good system.
And, yeah, I'm with Dora -- poison apples are so 12th century.
Yay, reasonable Dora! Still think the thing with the girl asking him out was extremely weird and out of character for how I (obviously erroneously) perceived her, but now she's back in my comfort zone. *hums cheerfully*Same for me. I am also glad Jeph cleared up that rather quickly instead of let us speculate over the next few days whether Dora was going to turn into Jealous!Dora over Marten's fantasies.

There, Dora has fully explained any irrational behavior she may have towards jealousy. Can people stop calling her a crazy bitch yet?

Yes the situation in which he has no intention of acting on attraction is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the situation IN WHICH HE HAD NO INTENTION OF ACTING ON HIS ATTRACTIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNA;LSDKRUAQ4;OTIUAERT09YU8AERGT98(ERROR 2695);
I'm also a pretty firm believer in "if you tell the boy how paranoid you are that he'll leave you, he's going to consider leaving you, because he'll wonder why you're so panicky about it all the time, and maybe you know something that he doesn't." It's never actually happened to me, but it's happened to enough of my friends that I know the signs. So, Jeph, unless this is the beginning of a break-up arc, you should probably quit writing Dora to be so irrational, because it's starting to get unrealistic that even Marten, Indie in Shining Armour, would stick around.
I sort of have to disagree with bits of this. If you regularly voice your grievances with your sig. other you'll seldom come to a point where being concerned about what the other does is seen as "crazy." Basically if you bottle stuff up to the point of having it all come out from nowhere, then yeah, a guy is going to get freaked out and question things.
Not every guy is a stone faced emotionless statue who will leave if you tell him how you feel. Most, especially the emo/indie/hardcore group, seem to be the most emotionally in touch. Seems to me like Dora just has some self esteem issues when it comes to girls liking Marten. Makes sense to me because of everything with Faye. However, the whole "girl asking Marten out" thing was a big deal because he didn't tell her not because the fact that other girls like him.
Man, she is one confusing lady!

It's like she's setting a trap for Marten and seeing if he'll fall into it. And then he does. And then ... she ... says she doesn't care? Which again doesn't make sense, if she IS "the jealous type."Some women (no, not ALL, by any means, Malli-kite) and some men actually do this, in various forms. They say 'it's okay" because they know, have been told, seen on OOprah (Oh, how I hate her and her bearded stooge, let me count the ways), etc. that this is normal behavior (which it is), nothing serious (usually), and so on. The traps are set because, deep in the depths of their insecure little hearts, these individuals don't buy into that at all. They are certain, on some level, that their partners are always looking for a better deal, and want to catch them at it to be done with the tension and get back to the wretched loneliness they deserve.
Saying that "all women are unpredictable and crazed" is as fallacious as saying "all men are sex-crazed horn-dogs"Stop messing with out solidarity! All men are sex-crazed horn-dogs. That's our story and we're sticking to it. Are you with me, brothers?
Ranty bit over. Time for caffeine.Odd. Caffeine-time is where many of my rants originate. Ahh, you're recharging!

Buhh? The obnoxious level of defensiveness in my comment actually ... prevented people from getting mad at me? I was assuming pie-throwing and much mockery. Oh, QC forum, I want so badly to understand you, but your motivations are as mysterious to me as, well, Dora's. Or Jeph's, for that matter.
I am annoyed by the dismissiveness of multiple commenters: "Dora's just actin' like a woman! All craaaazy-like! 'Cause ... yeah!" Or even the "well, my wife does that" or "my girlfriend has done that." It only makes me lose faith in humanity to read that. "People behave irrationally because, well, they just do that at times!" Really? I mean, I guess so ... I don't really have an argument against that, but it's still an unsatisfactory answer.
I am a girl. And I like to think I act with proper motivations besides, "OMG this will be mysterious and freakaayyy and totally weird out my boyfriend lots and lots! Hahahahaha ... let him try to guess the pattern ... he will never succeed ... until he finally leaves me, which I'm just waiting for anyway, because a man's best talent is breaking hearts." But, maybe there IS no logic to what I do, and I am a slave to hormones, moods, and dessstiny.
All that aside, raoullefere -- your post made sense to me, probably the only logical justification for Dora's actions that I've even heard thus far. It doesn't completely satisfy me, but it helps more than the "well, you know how PEOPLE/WOMEN/MEN are" explanations.
Man, she is one confusing lady!
They all are. :-D My wife in the course of a day has pointed out other lookers to me, then ripped me a new one several hours later for... well... looking. :?
Ah well. :-)
New comic is hilarious, Marten's a liar.
True, unless this doesn't count as fantasizing about Faye (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1117).
ANGUS!!
YAY ANGUS!!!
While I have my doubts as to whether Jeph will have Faye and Angus hook-up I really think they could make a good couple. Faye likes to dish it and, while Angus likes taking it, he's not a doormat. I think it would be good for Faye if Angus at least hung around more for a while.
So Angus likes the abuse of CoD, does he?
Maybe he should seek the "services" of Marten's mom instead. ;)
Of course, i'm also convinced that the only reason Jeph made Faye get together with Sven is because Fans were screaming for it.
Umm... Considering I've read Anders loves Maria, the idea of ANYONE at CoD "snailing" someone's coffee seems rather... unusual...
I trust this was not an intentional reference?

I thought the same thing, seeing as Jeph also likes A<3M, I wouldn't trust that notion.

Well, I'm not a woman, but I can only assume the process would be rather... painful.
AH! Sense! Dora was upset about the cover up and evasion, not the girl.
sounds like angus just broke up with an extreme-faye....
i say that with love, i like faye
and i'm SO not for a faye/angus relationship. i used to just not like angus, then i was all for sven/faye, and now...i think i'm just holding on to the hope that sven will eventually come groveling...
I totally thought that was Wil at first.Glad I'm not the only one :D (Where'd the allosaurus head go? :()
I loved the Allosaurus reference. Funny as hell to hear Faye mention the fate of unwanted minor characters.
I kind of suspect Angus will hang around Faye long enough for Sven to notice... and perhaps get a little jealous? That would be fun. And Dora would throw swords from behind the counter and tell them to fight like real men for their woman. Hahaha. :-D
Here's the reference I'm seeing, whether Jeph meant it or not...

*HanTai group forms a Phalanx*
COME AND GET THEM!!
HOORAY FOR ANGUS!
*throws confetti*
I really hope this goes somewhere.
Coincidentally, the gods to which Angus and pals sacrificed the goat was the same we all sacrificed various household animals in order to see Angus.

Like Hell, maybe.Coincidentally, the gods to which Angus and pals sacrificed the goat was the same we all sacrificed various household animals in order to see Angus.
So, you mean Zeus, the god of "if the woman says "go away" she really means "give me your number", and if she says "no" a lot, then you should fuck her right then and there"?
And Finally, Props to Faye for using the word snail as a verb.Actually, she charged straight through from noun to verbal: a gerund, specifically, which serves the purpose of a noun. So in a way it's a grammatical full circle.

that was actually exactly what i was going for
yay! I love that particular anders<3maria strip.
I made a prediction Angus would return, but it was more out of mere hope that he would. He's certainly one of my favorite "supporting" characters. Now, I must pray to the QC gods (Jeph) that he becomes a front-stage character.
Am I jinxing it?

Pfft. Like HanTai shippers could lug around 200 pounds of armor, carry a nine-foot spear by the end, and hold position for hours with all the world's armies slamming against their shields.

I don't know if anyone's ever told you this, but it's damn sexy when a guy can identify a gerund. <3

Yess! Precisely! Maybe Sven will see Faye and Angus talking and/or dating, and he will get all emo, and write a really bad country song, and sing something at Faye on karaoke night,... :-o
/me carefully puts her squeeing fangirl persona back in its box, sorry about that folks. I'm better now.
well folks, what do you think the title of sven's country song about faye would/should be?
Or maybe a Borg-like collective of identical siblings. One goes down, another pops up in its place.
"RESISTANCE IS FUTILE, BITCHES!"
from now on, yelling bird should die in every filler strip. pretty please??...

lactose intolerance sucks
The Joker, most ice cream places also have sorbet, which is non-dairy. :)
I'm lactose intolerant, but I just can't help myself. Evidence: I had a huge honkin' piece of trés leches cake today. For the Spanish impaired, that's three milks cake. I love cheese, especially melty. I can usually remember to take my lactose pill every day and that helps a trcukload.
For some odd reason, cheese doesn't affect me. Milk, yogourt and ice cream all do, though. I am clearly a mutant.
