Detached Retina Porn???
-
Just caught up on twitter; am excited about Hannelore getting dragged into COD-employeeship. Though she's right...she'd have to learn to not get caught up in counting too often.
-
I don't like these word bubbles.
-
First thing that came to my mind when I read the punchline: that song from "Repo!"
I DON'T FEEL NOTHING AT ALL
-
Detached Retina Porn???
Quantum Fetish Mechanics, my friend - if that fetish didn't exist, it does now.
-
I woke up this morning, with a bad hangover, and my retina was missing again. This happens all the time -- it's detachable.
-
Is it just me or does Angus resemble Wil??? :-o
-
Okay, I'm ready for the Fangus rebound sex...
-
My father had a detached retina, and since lasers hadn't been invented,his eye was removed. The creepiest thing I remember from that time was when the health visitor came round with a box a trays of artificial eyes for him to try on, with subtly different iris colours and patterns, all neatly sorted.
-
I kinda have no idea what todays comic even means ...
-
I kinda have no idea what todays comic even means ...
Faye has one topic on her mind, so she interprets what he said in that context.
-
Also it's good old-fashioned QC riffing.
-
Remember back in the day when Faye gladly accepted free glasses (apartments etc etc) from men?
-
Actually, she asked for the temporary use of the apartment.
And she accepted the glasses only because Maten's health plan covered them.
And yes, Angus - buying glasses for your coffee server is creepy and inappropriate. If you wouldn't do it for your server at Scrawny Ronnie's don't do it here.
-
But the dude at Scrawny Ronnie's doesn't bring unto Angus the chalice of Life and Vitality—at least that what one friend called a cup 'o Joe.
Seriously, I'm afraid Angus has it bad for Faye. Bad as in this can have no positive outcome for him, and all you miserable Sven-Faye shippers can rejoice, because Angus has every sign of throwing himself on the pyre that feeds the engine of that train wreck. Last American Virgin bad. (God, I hate that movie.)
And if this does play out that way, I'm gettin' out my dartboard with the Sven picture pasted to it again. Only I may have to add Faye to it and start pallin'* hanging** around with Mr. Skawronska.
*Is palling spelled with one l or two?
Edit: I made the dartboard after these two strips: 1264 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1264) and 1307 (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1307)
** Border Reiver made me do it.
-
Replace "pallin'/palling with hanging with and we're good.
-
Ah, you're no fun.
-
It's been remarked.
-
What happened to the fonts? Poor fonts, all ragged and trapped into hideous speech lumps, carrying tiresome banter.
Please, think of the fonts. :c
-
I wonder how Faye would look with Contacts?
-
I could not help but read today's comic and shout "Angus! Abort! Abort! You are too deep in friendzone territory! pull back to the main lines!"
here's better wording:
In this strip, read each of Faye's responses without reading Angus' - it's not very positive at all. She's keeping to the backbeat until the last panel, where she's changing the topic so it's a joke.
Angus however seems earnest and excited, which strike me as the worst possible things to be in that situation.
Poor sod. Why he'd find Faye so alluring in the first place... O.o
-
Female - of a body shape and apparent personality type that that particular male finds attractive.
Her initial responses to his clumsy advances are rebuffed, leading to a desire for the "forbidden fruit".
And now he's on a rebound.
Or he's just a horny guy who sees a cute girl.
-
When I was attending University in Guelph, we used to do this behind the residence I was living in. The problem we had was that the hill we were traybogganing on was not perfectly smooth and snowy. The result was that one of our sledders ran over a small rock on his tray. Of course, it being winter, the plastic tray had become rather cold and brittle.
He spent the night in the hospital having shards of tray removed from his rear end.
We didn't do any more traybogganing.
-
I think alternate universe strip should clearly become canon.
-
Damn, now I almost want it to be winter again. Almost.
Next winter I am totally starting a league or something cos this game sounds awesome. I wonder if it would work with snowboarding instead of sledding.
-
I can't decide whether Marten's expression in panel two of the alternate strip is happy or nervous.
Maybe it's both.
-
I think alternate universe strip should clearly become cannon.
I hate to say it, but this particular error grates on me. You mean "CANON" not "CANNON."
Almost as bad as calling a rogue a "rouge."
-
Man, it was 94 degrees today (and is probably about 80 right now at 10 at night). Seeing snow feels so weird.
I want some fanarts to go with the AU strip. Yes yes.
-
But Baby it's cold outside...
-
Jeph does know that drinking MORE beer makes you LESS skilled at playing, right? I would just dump out all my beer along the way. and not get drunk.
-
Then you would be the winner! :-)
We do this at Tufts. Er...drink and sled, that is. Marten's rules are too complicated.
Also, snow? We need a jump forward!
-
alternative edit is hilarious.
-
So we just zoomed forward another 6 months?
-
I love the expression Marten has in the Alternate Universe -version of the strip.
-
I thought Speed Beer was just some brand and this was gonna be like a product placement strip
I don't know why
-

Dude, you do not get the game. Pouring out beer is wasting booze. The object is to get pleasantly drunk.
I came here to say that I approve of Steve's T-shirt.

that can't be true...

-

The point of that "game" was not about winning.
-
so, traybogganing was a sport at U of Guelph as well as at Carleton (back in the 80s) whoo!
-
Waitaminit... Marten and Steve went to school together back in Calipornia? Did we know this before?
-
So - where in California do you get enough snow to go traybogganing?
-
I am now very curious what goes on in the alternate Questionable Content universe.
-
This came up before. There's a community college in South Lake Tahoe, and another near Lassen, but there aren't any 4-year colleges anywhere where snow sticks to the ground, you'd have to drive to it. Maybe in the QCVerse, they're dealing with Global Cooling instead.

I was actually slightly freaked out by today's comic because I decided to wear my Hold Steady T-Shirt today.

I'm at work, and when I saw today's comic and more specifically the alternate reality QC. I was almost snorting, as I tried to hold in the laughter! XD
-
What are the odds that the next comic is a sledding scene in tribute to Calvin and Hobbes?
-
how does one subscribe to Alternate QC World? :wink:

Fanfiction.net, probably.

I think Steve means 'Our' as in 'my friends from college and my' rather than 'Marten and my.'
-
I wonder how Faye would look with Contacts?
Like this
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/Helen324/fayenoglasses.jpg)
Not to mention all the strips showing Faye glasses-less while sleeping or after hooking up with Sven.
-

Now that you brought it up, zero point zero. Now, you have a better chance it's a parody.
I am now very curious what goes on in the alternate Questionable Content universe.
This (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1193) could give you a pretty good idea.
-
My, Rocketman, what a long, crusty loaf you've given Steve.
*silence*
I have got to get out of the boner patch.
-
Better than being Beyonce.
-
I wonder if this is a game that Greg Norman might excel in as well. :D
Alternate QC - In which Hanners is Dora's bitch and Sven is Fayes slave. :D
-
I like how jeph even changed the snow for the second panel of the alternative universe strip.
-
Whooooo go Hanners!
-
I wanna go sledding in a town with lava lanterns.
-
The look of joy on Hanners' face made my night.
Unfortunately it will all be ruined for her when she not only finds herself sliding straight toward a tree, but also spots a squirrel in said tree that is clearly gazing at her in a suspicious fashion.
That's my theory, anyway.
-
Something kind of bugs me about Faye not being in this. I think if she was, it would make an excellent "Main Cast Only" kind of poster. I'm actually really curious as to why she's absent now!
-
Yeah, where is Faye? Playing with her new toy, perhaps...
I found this to be absolutely adorable. :3
-
I think we saw several strips back Faye has a low tolerance for cold. http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1311 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1311)
And yes, Zombiedude, I thought little could be worse than being Beyonce. But now I wonder.

-
Did anyone else notice Hanner's Hat? (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1204)
-
The worry hat? Of course we did, she's had it for a while now...
I reiterate, traybogganing is only fun 'til someone ends up with frozen shards of tray in their... um... end.

I have the benefit of being at home, so I laughed all I wanted, which was a lot. That might be one of the funniest things I've seen in a while...and I'm not entirely sure why.
-

that can't be true...
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1311
Ah yes, cheers.
It's getting pretty summery here in the UK so I lost track of what season QC was meant to be in.
-
Haha, I can see why Jeph had fun drawing this. :laugh:
-
All I have to say is
YEEEEEEHAWWWWWWW!!!!!!!
-
This (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1193) could give you a pretty good idea.
Well I get the impression that jeph either occasionally or often has fun evil character breaking thoughts about the comic and we get to only see glimpses of it through alternative ending stuff. It would be fun to occasionally see what jeph has the good sense not to make into a real comic. I mean if it turned out to just be gratuitous smut, i guess that would be fine, but i'm betting it could be a lot more fun than that.
-
Wow. First look at this and i yelled "OH MY GOD" So didnt see that comeing.
Great strip though.
-
I'm puzzled by the apparently unfinished top of the strip, though.
-

I may be crazy, but I think Jeph just uploaded a fixed version that shows windows and doors of the buildings to show what they are. I originally had the same :?
-
Ah, I see. I still have to change the gamma before they appear on my monitors.
-
I thought that there was something missing with the strip, too. Then I sat down and saw it properly
Nice to see the group just having fun for once. Where's Faye?...
-
I like how jeph even changed the snow for the second panel of the alternative universe strip.
Alternative strip? Link?
-
Jeph, that was one of the best strips you've done in a while. The expression on Hanners' face is priceless.
-

He means yesterday's strip and the link below it; and he's wrong - the snow is the same except where Marten's face has been edited.
-
Hands down, that's the best artwork EVER Jeph. You've come a long way over the years.
...I just caused him a massive crushing anxiety attack didn't I? He's rolled up in the corner sobbing because he can't possibly live up to my standards anymore... right? :-D
-
That is TOTALLY Excellent and if Jeph offers prints (and I have enough coin) I'm buying one!
-

relevant. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrhic_victory)
-
I was puzzled by the top of the panel as well... then I reasoned that if one was doing this, 'twould be best to do so when no one was looking to call the authorities to save one from one's self. Hence, lights out in the buildings.
The more I look at this drawing, the happier I am for Hanners. To me, this seems a victory for her—taking chances, volunteering to spill something, and, most importantly, her friends behind her, watching her go. That cup 'o beer might as well be an Olympic torch.
Go, carry the QC Banner high!
For the 'where's Faye' crowd: she can carry her own banner. (Old, old Marvel "Here We Go-a-Plotting" joke.)
-
Dora with UGG boots?
Out of character I think.
-
Meh. Even I can't complain about today's strip. But it's not because one of my posts cynically remarking Hannelore's background role yesterday has mysteriously disappeared. >_>
-
Your post didn't disappear, you posted it in LAST week's thread. :roll:
-
I even pointed that out for you.
-
Woops, sorry >__>
I :roll: at myself
-
Is Dora wearing uggs? D:
-
Aaahh.
Il faut imaginer Hannelore heureuse, as Albert Camus never quite said.
-
Am I the only one pissed that Dora's wearing UGGs? Godamn them are some ugly boots.
-
She's playing in the snow, so I think she can wear what she damn well likes.

It's funny because the baguette located near Steve's groin resembles an erection, the kind he would get if he were gay and gay sex was suggested, as in the alternate universe.
...my patented HumourVac works!
-

WHAT THE FUCK JEPH? WHAT THE FUCK IS DORA WEARING UGGS FOR? FUCKING HELL MAN YOU DISAPPOINT ME AGAIN
And here's me thinking she was wearing them because it was cold outside
-
They just look like boots to me.
-
Aren't Uggs furrier?
-
This is one of the greatest QC strips. Hannelore's triumph!
-
wow. seriously guys? we're bitching about footwear?

The middle of Winter
Late at night
It's fracking cold
She wants to keep her feet warm
SHE CAN DAMN WELL WEAR UGGS IF SHE FRACKING WELL WANTS TO!!

Hey Faye, wouldn't it be fun to go down the hill on a cafe tray built for two? Come on, even Hannelore can see that!
-
Am I the only one finding Angus a little bit creepy?
-
Angus has been creepy since comic 710:
710 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=710)
-
I don't think Angus is so much creepy as desperate, although I've been told by various women it amounts to the same thing.
-
Hanners is still smiling. So much for my "suspicious squirrel" theory.
As for the Drunken Sledding Party...I'm not a drinker, like, at all, but dammit if that doesn't sound like fun. Fun that would likely end with a night in jail for a good many folks, but fun nonetheless.
-
Is it just me or is Hanners getting cuter?
-
I loved todays comic. That is all. Oh and Hanners is not getting cuter because her overplayed neuroses are not cute - but she has been cute in the last two comics. :laugh:
-
YAY!
-
I don't think Angus is being creepy. It's:
"SPONTANEOUS SLEDDING PARTY WITH A BUNCH OF STRANGERS!"
"Oh, cool. I'll come, too."
Not:
"We're having a private party with out close friends."
"Mememe! I wanna come!"
Come on now.
-
Man, a drunken sledding party? That sounds ridiculously fun, but it also sounds like it'll get :police:
But until then, shit yeah, everyone's partying!

I'd be surprised if at least half the customers at CoD didn't follow them there. Seriously, there are like 50 people drinking and doing crazy fun stuff? I'd be all over that! My friends and I once had almost an entire train car full of revelers follow is home after a festival. We were trying to decide what to do after the festival closed for the night and someone suggested my cousin's house and I'm like "Yeah! Let's go to Baby's house! She's always got something going on Saturday night." The next thing you know the whole train car is chanting "Baby's!" over and over again and whne we got off at the stop, pretty much everyone followed us out. Semi-creepy, but a rockin' time was had by all.

CHEESE IT---IT'S THE FUZZ!!!!!
-
Meanwhile, I think this Drunken Sledding thing was a brilliant move my Jeph in order to get Angus to socialize with the QC group more.
-
Faye can be such a bitch sometimes. "Who said anything about YOU coming along?" like she owned the party or something, and it was just a private gathering of friends. Who says that? :P
-
Woho new comic !
I just wanted to say ... write that once, too ! :-D
-
Nice. This comic is just awesome.
Great to see Hanners chilling out some,cant wait for the next one.
Faye does seem kinda like an ass in this one though.
-
...This is distressing. I've never really considered Faye and Angus, but Hanner's little OMG DO YOUR FLIRTY THING LATER just made me go 'Wait, they might actually be cute together.' :laugh:
-
Am I the only one finding Angus a little bit creepy?
Yes. Yes you are.
-
No. No they aren't.
-
Drunken Faye-Angus hookup followed by several strips of ZOMG ANGST AND REGRET.
*slaps $5 on table*
-
My first reaction was "Angus is creeepy!" but really Faye's just being mean spirited.
Of course she's damnned if she does and damnned if she doesn't - If Angus bails out I'd half expect a panel with her standing looking wistful at some couple enjoying themselves, and if Angus goes along she'd spend her time trying to put him off.
I don't know if I feel more sorry for Faye and her neuroses or Angus and his lack of backbone.
-
Telling! (http://www.frozenreality.co.uk/comic/bunny/)
-
The whole thing sounds like fun, so lets all go.
Is it cheating if you bring bottled beer to traybogganing? We always did at Carleton, but the rules may be different in MA.
-
I don't think Angus is being creepy. It's:
"SPONTANEOUS SLEDDING PARTY WITH A BUNCH OF STRANGERS!"
"Oh, cool. I'll come, too."
That and there's not any indication that Faye is the reason he wants to go at all - I mean, maybe he's just a big fan of drunken sledding. Without that, there's not any basis for calling it creepy in the first place.

*slap monopoly money on the table*

I'll pick up the beer on the way (scoops up the fiver, loonie and the rest of the monopoly money and heads to the Beer Store).
-
...Oh hey, Hanners was actually likeable in this one.
I don't know how to feel about that.
-
Angus seems to have turned into a pretty cool guy. I'm calling him not being interested in Faye as more than a friend.
Edit: I was having a weak memory and I forgot the whole glasses thing. Guess he still has a little desperation left in him, but a guy can only improve so much!
-
I don't know if I feel more sorry for Faye and her neuroses or Angus and his lack of backbone.
Angus doesn't lack back bone. He made his move a while back and was rebuffed. He hasn't asked her out since, but he's hung around because he likes her and maybe part of him hopes she'll come around. He was dating someone else for a while, so it's not like he's some desperate creepy loser who spends his days obsessing about Faye. His ex didn't like CoD, so he didn't come around. Now he's single so he's hanging out again, but I don't know if he just wants his life to get back to pre-bitch gf or if he's still dangling after Faye. I think that if he is still digging Faye, which seems to be the case, he's going to take it easy and see where things go as opposed to actively going after her. He just got out of a relationship. He may not be in a hurry to jump in to another one.
Also, I think that post-Sven, Faye isn't as freaked out over finding Angus attractive, so she's been treating him more like a human being. I think that she's finding that, when she's not too busy being bitchy to notice, she kind of likes him.
-
Angus doesn't lack back bone. He made his move a while back and was rebuffed.
He amde his move several time, ignoring all her requests, then demands to be left alone. Then he continued to hang around because wimmenz are too dumb to make their own choices, so she obviously just needed to be badgered some more.
-
I'll go with maddness (as I often do, only without the second d), with a caveat: I suspect that one of the things wrong with Angus's last lady was that she wasn't Faye. I"ll agree that Faye was being her oft-miserable self when acted as if a fifty-person block party was, I don't know, in her bedroom or something (wouldn't that be interesting?), but I'll give her a break because I think she senses Angus isn't 'over' her, and it makes her nervous. It's one thing to have a relationship with manwhore Sven: having someone actually *want* you is something entirely different. Faye sabotaged the last one; it would hardly be surprising if she tried to do the same this time, too.
I still say Angus is desperate. He thinks he's found 'the one,' and she's free at the moment—but how long will that last? Any time now, her former relationship might be back on track, and Angus's chance blown. I respect him for trying his hardest to be cool about it (as opposed to the last go round that some love to frame as 'Stalker in Action'), but underneath, as the glasses offer reveals, he's got it bad for the girl.
Which means he's doomed. The gods and those like them feel compelled to dump on folks like Angus: it's a compulsion. His ruin, I fear, is coming.
-
His ruin? I think Angus is one of the few stable characters in the cast.
I mean..
Marten has had a problem with a lack of backbone, although he seems to be working on that.
Steve turns into a drunken mush whenever his lady-streak hits a bad point.
Dora has issues of jealousy and inferiority with her brother.
Sven is trying somewhat to fix his manwhore ways, but still has trouble with the concept of a stable relationship.
Faye has a lot of issues when it comes to relationships, and is unwilling to put herself on the line.
Hannelore is Hannerz. 'nuff said.
Penelope has done some work on her difficulty in relationships, but she's still mostly a shut-in.
Raven's typical brain activity would compare unfavorably to that of a table, and the last person she dated was a Canadian hobo.
Really, they've all got issues. Angus... Comes off a bit too strong, and likes strong women. He's been in relationships before, can/LIKES dealing with unpleasant people, and it's pretty heavily implied that he has other friends. Faye acts sufficiently annoyed with him sometimes, but we also know that she finds him hot, and wouldn't have been so freaked out with the (untrue) concept of him asking for her number if she didn't see potential between the two of them.
-
Angus doesn't lack back bone. He made his move a while back and was rebuffed.
He made his move several times, ignoring all her requests, then demands to be left alone. Then he continued to hang around
This. This. A thousand times this.
can/LIKES dealing with unpleasant people
It goes beyond that. He sought Faye out just so she could insult him.
God, I wouldn't be surprised if he creamed his pants when she flung him across the room.
-
These last few comics make me really miss winter! :cry:
-
wow. seriously guys? we're bitching about footwear?
to each their own fetish
-
Faye sabotaged the last one
/me looks startled and interested
That's not the obvious interpretation but there are several ways to agree with it.
Were you looking at how Faye refused to treat Sven as a friend, thus limiting the relationship to an unstable "adversaries with benefits" mode? Or to her setting unrealistic conditions on it? Or are you looking at it from an angle that I've missed?

I believe raoullefere to be speaking of Faye and Martin, not Faye and Sven. At least that's what I assumed...
-
These last few comics make me really miss winter! :cry:
Couldn't agree with you more. God I miss winter....
-
Angus seems to lack the ability to make his intentions clear. He's been quite ambivalent to Faye about his stance recently, like Faye assuming Angus wants her number but he quite curtly plays it down? yet he's hanging around CoD like an orphaned puppy.
What Angus makes me think of is a guy who enjoys the status quo of flirting with a woman who he knows will very likely turn him down for any kind of meaningful relationship.
His lack of backbone would (in that case) be based upon how hung up he is over Faye. If he's that into her he should man up or bail out.
-
I'm (was?) talking about Faye and Marten.
But I also believe that with Sven, Faye started a relationship she was certain, perhaps subconsciously, would fail (why else pick the womanizer?). That may not be how it ended, but it was how it began, as I've opined before. So call it sabotage, too, if you like.
-
There's a reasonable argument either way for Sven-Faye sabotage. Pot calling the kettle black and whatnot.
But I agree competely that Faye sabotaged her and Marten. or maybe more like she realized he'd do her no good in the long term, who knows.
-
I"ll agree that Faye was being her oft-miserable self when acted as if a fifty-person block party was, I don't know, in her bedroom or something (wouldn't that be interesting?), but I'll give her a break because I think she senses Angus isn't 'over' her, and it makes her nervous.

If he'd said something like "That sounds like a lot of fun, I might see you there," that wouldn't be creepy, but inviting himself along feels like a bid to specifically be part of FayeHanners/etc. group, as if he were one of their friends. He's not creepy because he wants her, he's creepy because he's being pushy and refusing to take "no, I'm not interested" for an answer. I've had the same thing happen, and guys like that are extremely annoying, especially when they stop just that bit short of going over the line, but consistently dance on the edge. Yeah, he does seem to come across as wanting humiliation play, and getting turned on by her insulting him.

I think poor ol' Angus just lacks some real friends. That and he's gone on Faye who, I think, is slowly warming to the guy.
Now, if Tai's at the Drunken Sled Party ....... :D
-
Now, if Tai's at the Drunken Sled Party ....... :D
....What?
-
...Oh hey, Hanners was actually likeable in this one.
I don't know how to feel about that.
It will all end in tears.
-
Now, if Tai's at the Drunken Sled Party ....... :D
....What?
Did you miss the HanTai sig?
-
Now that is the way the Police should behave!!!
-
Is that Jeph in panel 1? I think it is.
I'm liking where this is going. Anything could happen. It's like the sledding comics in Calvin and Hobbes, but with booze and romantic tension! Maybe that would explain Faye's uncanny resemblance to Susie Derkins, if Susie were neurotic and bitchy.
I'm rambling again. No. Bad. Stoppit.
-
Hey! Raven's there - Cool :)
Ahhh, Police community involvement, the great way to up Police popularity. :D
And Norton Quintessential, the good ship HanTai sails on.
-
That girl in the third panel is supposed to be Raven? Color me surprised.
-
Probably a newb question here, but I thought the comic takes place in MA. Am I forgetting the city name, or are the Police from New Hampshire? :police:
-
Northampton PD
-
Wait, so just having open booze containers in a public setting is a crime? Huh. Well, that's good to know for future reference, but it seems a bit odd to me.
-

Too small. Maybe a fangirl with Raven's hair and Faye's glasses?

Yes. New Hampshire. News of the party spread fast and far.
-

No need to say that, Mr. Monk.
It's a given.
-
girl in third panel with pink hair is friggin cute.
anyways thought the whole party idea was interesting :D

Just try walking down the street with an open bottle of beer - you will be stopped. If not by the cops then by the homeless guy who'd really like to have something he didn't distill in a drum.
I think the cops are here to just make sure that things don't get out of hand.
-
I'm going to have to say that the problem with be with open, easily accessible alcohol. And nobody checking for minors.

These last few comics make me really miss winter! :cry:
Couldn't agree with you more. God I miss winter....
When you live in Canada (which I do), even in the southernmost parts, by the end of winter you wonder why you liked it when it started. There was still so much snow on the ground one week ago, you couldn't see any grass. Winter is nice when it starts, but by about a month ago I was all like WTF enough is enough Mother Nature.
*breathing heavily*
...rant's over folks.

It's one of Jeph's friends, as he stated in the newsbox. Who that is, no one will ever know...
-
Could be the mysterious 'Kat', but who knows
also OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK HANNERS YOUR LIP DISAPPEARED IN THE FIRST PANEL HOW DARE YOU JEPH ARHGHAHHG
no wait I actually prefer that look but w/e

y'see that is why Canada is awesome.
-
So those are Jeph's friends. Man, I wonder who the hot blonde standing next to Angus in the first panel is? Helloooo, nurse! WooHoo!
-
Now I'm putting this activity on my bucket list, seeing as Australia only has snow on a single mountainous region and the rest of the country wouldn't see anything of the sort unless there was a hailstorm of large millimeters in proportion.
Although that has happened occasionally
-

I'm guessing that's Kat, as Jeph said in the newspost. She's got more detail than the other girl/women, that's why.
Now you can go stalk her! :-D
-
Oh, good. Because I had a horrible thought after I posted that: what if that's Cristi?
-
Haha, that would have been a laugh

Yah, I totally second that rant. By the end of winter, winter is quite tiresome.

I want another poll

Montana is just as bad, except we get about a week of nice t-shirt weather, then this (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j185/junodog/P1040170.jpg) happens. I took that picture on Thursday, by the way. I used to love winter so much all winter long when I had access to a ski area and I didn't have to bike 4.5 miles to work, but now life is different.
I bet there's some comedy or some drama in the next strip. [/useless contribution]

Is that Jeph in panel 1? I think it is.

On the right, panel 1. You can see the double piercings/gauges. Unless he has a friend that also had that done, too.

Dammit, that always works on "Tweep (http://www.tweep.com/comic/)."
When will the hurting stop? The crushing of perfectly good names into nauseating, semi-literate oneness? Have you no shame?

I believe that's supposed to be Snangus.
