Title: WCT April 13-17

Only $300?  Cheap at twice the price, if Faye's description is accurate.

I haven't seen anything that looks non-Euclidian, but there is a cool little number, I think it's a Swedish design, that's gold plated and runs close to $1000.  It's suitable for display, I think.

They're bedroom AIDS, not bedroom replacements. Think about it this way - his hands and mouth could be doing OTHER things, while the GXS-9500 or whatever the heck it's called could be doing DOWN THERE things. In the end it's a whole new experience.

Marten strikes me as the type to be a little intimidated by bedroom aids though... i hope not - boys needn't feel as if they are obsolete due to some toys, fer realz.

Faye running screaming from the Sex Shop is one of the funnest moments in QC history.
She didn't run out.

She's just off to the side of the panel, trying out the GSX-9500.



Yes...yes I'll go with that mental image.  :evil:




"OH NO BOOBS"
So what is that, "Oh no! Boobs!!!!" And then it's something to make them smaller?
Or is it, "Oh...no boobs" for someone who's quite flat-chested, and then they are some sort of augmentation?
Again... :evil:

I think it's more like the reaction the religious right has anytime a female exposes her chest...

I felt a need to come in and say how much I loved today's strip. The facial expressions were just fantastic. Dora's in Panel 1, and both of theirs in Panels 3 and 4...very nicely done. They really added a lot to the comic. The Faye happyjump was a nice change of pace too - it's certainly the kind of pose we rarely see in QC.

You have officially brightened my day, Jeph.  :-D

Why is it everyone in the strip who's comfortable with sexuality is so unaccepting of the fact that other people aren't?  Tai, Dora. 

People who are progressive think because their views are so indisputably correct they're justified in being as rude as they want to people who aren't and shoving their sexual openness in their faces.  This is why assholes like Rush Limbaugh have such an audience.

Meh, I find it weird and unhealthy for people to be vehemently anti something they actively desire based upon morals-for-the-sake-of-morals, but hey I wouldn't force my opinion on anyone and my friends are all pretty sexually open - and I know who I can talk about anal in public with and who I can't. Making people uncomfortable is never my aim, but given my active interest in sexuality it kinda comes up in conversation. *shrug*

As for Dora (Tai... I don't find developed enough as a character to have any real opinion on) I can't see that there was anything really offensive about it because if Faye really didn't want to go she wouldn't have gone. She's shown she's willing to say NO if she's uncomfortable enough - she wanted a vibrator, she just didn't want to go alone. My only irritation with the strip is Faye complaining about hearing the shop assistant's opinion on sex toys. Uh, sweetheart, it's her job to have personal opinions.  :roll:

I've noticed that the character expressions have been amazingly good lately. They always have at least subtle changes in expression from panel to panel, even if they're not in the action. Today is a prime example. Dora in panel three looks so cute, like she's amused and trying not to show it.

And I, too, must admit that images of vibrators and confetti danced around my head for a bit before I realized, "Oh...'came'. Nurr double entendre nurr."

The protests was very big, and a window was [accidentally?] broken by some protesters outside drumming on the windows to drown out the speaker. - Straw man 2

The speaker didn't get to speak, kids got maced in the face.

Now the whole university is really embarrassed.

No, I see what you're saying, and I agree. It's like they've both sort of sold out, yet in a satirical type of way. Sven hates country music, but writes it anyway while laughing the whole time at how idiotic the people that buy his songs are. Angus argues against what he believes, but has to make himself look like he's an idiot therefore promoting what he believes.

I probably just confused everyone, but it makes sense in my brain. And I really don't like the Faye/Angus thing. He just seems too flat of a character for him to have any relationships with the main cast.

That whole double-booking of straw men must be what happens in the reader comments on the various news sites. I've yet to read a comment on those even from somebody I technically "agree" with that I didn't think wasn't from an utter moron.

Damien: Well, that's a no-brainer. http://www.sybian.com/sybianindex.html
Of course, it's more than 4x the price, but when you put it in your ... well, in you, you will know where that money went.

Yeahhhhhh, the Sybian is kinda basic and totally different.  Something like THIS sounds closer to what the comic was actually talking about:

There's also these:

http://www.holisticwisdom.com/vibrating-diva-pleaser.htm

http://www.theadulttoyshoppe.com/triple-ecstasy-vibrator-PD165211.htm

A trove of research indeed. However, none of these appear to be 'non-Euclidean'.  :-D

Who-- Wha-- Whe-- Some people have some vivid imaginations! Some of these vibes have more attachments than my DeWalt, and prolly consume more power.

Ad for non-Euclidean, Euclid only described plane geometry, so any geometry that can't be described as some rearrangment of a sheet, is non-euclidean, i.e. spherical geometry.

Nah, I think it's just that a lot of the nuance that distinguishes the characters comes from the way Jeph colors them.

Also, In my Official (okay, self-appointed) capacity as Captain of the S. S. Fangus I'd like to take this opportunity to say:

"Now Faye! Now's your chance, ask him out before someone else snaps him up and he's gone forever!!!!"

"And I really don't like the Faye/Angus thing. He just seems too flat of a character for him to have any relationships with the main cast."
(Sorry; I'm old and technologically impaired. I haven't figured out how to properly quote yet!)

I don't really have any preferences for what happens in the comic (except that I am still obsessed  dying to see  sick with anxiety and desire looking forward to seeing how this Sven/Faye/Dora fight ends up). I mostly just enjoy taking in whatever Mr. Jacques gives us. I'm not saying that I also think Angus is "flat," but if he is, it could just be because he hasn't been in the comic enough yet to develop much depth. So don't worry! You may find this all more enjoyable than you're currently anticipating! This last comic makes him a lot more interesting to me than he was before. If they have some sort of webcomic award for "most hilariously adorable job ever," I hope they give it to Jeph for his Angus work!

This is a potentially fun angle, regardless of the outcome! Either they become wonderful, aruging friends, wonderful, arguing enemies, or wonderful arguing lovers. I see no flaws in this!

I've been reading QC for... gosh... many years now... And it just keeps improving in terms of plot, art, and dialogue all the time. =)

They live in an alternate universe in which Ronald Reagan never went into politics.

Workers make a living wage without the need for a federally mandated minimum.
Everyone as access to affordable health care.
People can grow up on space stations and have little robots to manage their Music/Porn collection.

And the proprietor of the sex shop is considered a pillar of the community.

I see what you mean. It's not that they're really the same, just that the differences are subtle. Without her trademark horn-rimmed glasses and someone to stand next to for scale, it's too easy to get them mixed up.

So, keep the horn-rimmed glasses and the poofy hair and the flat chest on Tai and the close cropped hair and the multiple rim piercings on Hannelore and no one gets hurt. =)

As for the Fangus shippers, how do you get from this:

A NOP? Wow, akronnick, you invented an acronym! I envy you.

I tried to create a slang term once, but it never took off: Gillooly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonya_Harding). As in, We knew the visiting team would crush us, so we sneaked over the night before the game and gilloolied their bus.

I hope Jeph doesn't take your protest as a challenge. NOPs in QC twice is probably enough.

There have been Naked Old Persons in strips with Marten, Faye, Penny and Dora (twice) as well as Wil.  I think I can bear the risk of them continuing to appear in new strips!

What QC needs are more NOPs. Not nearly enough
Title: Re: WCT April 13-17
Post by: raoullefere on 18 Apr 2009, 17:06
Or maybe more NSPs? Of course, that would make QC LSFW. Like any of us are working.

As for the small WCT, these things cycle. Perhaps next week Hanners, who has the cash, will buy the GSX 9500 and 'complete' the BFbot with it. Then it goes on a rampage, pursuing Faye, who spurned it... kind of like Westworld  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westworld), but sexier and with fewer killings. And the WTC will swell...

Of course, it may be a small WCT because all the US readers have been celebrating National Library Week. I know I have. Since next week is Administrative Professionals Week, maybe things will pick up.

I don't think so. But the 23rd is St. George's Day.

Here's a calender http://www.crayola.com/calendar/index.cfm?month=4&year=2009 (http://www.crayola.com/calendar/index.cfm?month=4&year=2009)
And a sillier one http://www.epromos.com/calendar/promotional-calendar.html (http://www.epromos.com/calendar/promotional-calendar.html)

My favorite 'month' is in May: High Blood Pressure Education Month (hoorah!). I know it's not what they mean, but it reads to me as though you're supposed to learn how to elevate your BP.

Some of us could probably teach lessons about that.

You don't. You can make a decent survival, but that's about it. There's nothing really spectacular about how they live their lives, really, except for Sven. Dora works her ass off with the coffee shop and manages to survive. The others don't really do much except buy thrift store clothes, play some music, and drink.

Sounds like most of my minimum wage friends, ;)

That's a good point, but she did offer to pay rent on the apartment (#127, #355).

So, would she accept glasses from Angus if he committed insurance fraud to get them, or would she refuse because he's too openly interested? It may be relevant that Marten didn't ask first (#68).
