Title: WCT: May 4-8
Post by: ysth on 03 May 2009, 20:24
Wonder how far in the future we will be Monday?

Wonder what's the longest span between Jeph's tweets?

Don't you mean March 65-69?

(Or perhaps April 34-38)

((Or September 5725-5729*))

I was strolling through the park one day
In the very merry month of March

Ai. I've enough trouble recalling what day it is without looking at a calender. Now I'm going to be looking at the wrong month, too.
Thanks, bunches.

Whazzat? No, I don't do anything other than lurk in the forums.

Yeeeeeeeeeees! QC just gets better and better every effing weekday. Too bad Jeph is human. If he were a robot he could perpetually make comics and never get tired and none of us would have to feel bad for exploiting him because hey, he's just a robot. Robots are made to work.

I think she just stopped drinking scotch straight from the bottle at work/at home/any time she felt the slightest bit depressed. You know, the "dangerous habit" part, not the "fun social grease" part.

What's intriguing is not so much the bikini part  as 'overwhelmed' combined with 'bikini.' How overwhelmed? As in 'struggling valiantly,' or 'total wardrobe malfunction'? Precision is important, after all.

I guess we might get an idea if Marten emerges in tomorrow's strip still in a state of shock.

Post by: raoullefere on 05 May 2009, 00:12
No, she's merely thinking that to the universe in general. You simply happen to be in it. It is the best part of the strip, though.

I've seen sharking vids (or so they claimed). I thought it just meant yanking the girl's panties down, or her pants/skirt, or getting her shirt, or unfastening her bra, then running like hell.

But it is the Japanese. I suppose bodily fluids must have a role somewhere

 GAWD, I almost spit my coffee out on the monitor when I parsed that through my WC character filter in my mind and roleplayed that scene out...SNORK! 

 I think the last panel would be changed to Faye's arm and leg exiting stage left... Faye's got a hammer, crowbar, and blow torch in a small bag in the trailing hand...  How fast can Marten Run, and does he have enough parts to rebuild Pintsize from that?

Not that I've any personal experience in this practice, mind you, but I hear girlfriends don't exactly take well to being 'loaned out.' In fact, they have their own, special term for it: "Time to dump that asshole."

We guys, of course, love being loaned out. In fact, some of us do it ourselves. Girlfriends have their own, special term for this, too: "Time to dump that cheating asshole."

I'm not sure Marten would be okay with that, and if Tai (or any other female on the planet) had said something similar to Dora re Marten, Dora's response would resemble the last fifteen minutes of Kill Bill Volume 1. Lot's of blood, screaming, and kickassery.

Also, Hanner's blush in the last panel SO made up for the crazy smile. Just saying...

I love that drawing: it's no one thing, but only all of it, combined, that makes it unsettling. The pièce de résistance is the little arch of flesh under her left (our right) eye. It brings it all together, somehow.

Unsettling...and yet, so very compelling.

On the plus side for Hanners this is a big improvment, actually smiling to a boy, I mean. Sure, she need to try make it more "friendly smile" and less "knife wieldind maniac smile", but still is a huge step forward for her.

Post by: MamiyaOtaru on 07 May 2009, 01:14
You are totally right of course given what her character is involved in, but it's still a little WELP to me to see her go from someone talking to a strange boy in a bathroom to someone who can't smile back at a boy.

Hanner's smile immediately made me think of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. I searched and searched and couldn't find the specific panel. I'll have to scan it when I get home. I have this comic book where the main character is a sociopath and there is one panel where I swear he is wearing that exact same smile.

Thank you so much.

I know everyone always says "That should be a T shirt"...but I gotta say that maniacally grinning Hannelore would make a really good T shirt.

As nice as it is in context, I wouldn't want to wear that.

We should totally have a Hanners vs. Kimiko showdown as to who has the worst problems. OCD versus robotic limbs, maniacal smile against random exclamations about philosophers, boiling her face after a boy kisses her versus getting cut in half by lasers...

You know, and honestly, I recall Kimiko commenting on the fact that no guy has ever hit on her.

Eight panels, seven feature Hannelore, yet I enjoyed this comic.
If stranger things have happened, I don't wanna know about them.

Good job.

yet

What? Why wouldn't you enjoy a comic with Hannelore? And even if you don't usually, why would you liking one be particularly strange?

And don't worry, it's made from the sample image from this press release (http://www.mass.gov/rmv/rmvnews/2004/newids.htm), so the number's fake. (That is, unless you want to impersonate Mr. First Middle Lastname.) And the dates and address are completely made-up on the spot, not researched from the entire comic archive; I don't have THAT much free time. :P

I can't see it too well, but does it say "Height: 6-01"? I don't think she's that tall. My guess would be around 5'10'', assuming Marten's about 6'0'' (recently she's been only a bit shorter than him, and she's taller than the others).

Is our intrepid Tai suffering from a dry spell? Maybe now would be a good time for Amanda (Faye's lesbian sister) to make another visit.

Amantai, anyone?

It is a little disconcerting how quickly Tai was willing to throw Marten under the bus (as it were) for nothing more than a hot piece of tail.

Well, I don't think Tai's serious. She is freaking squirrelly, though. That 'aw' seems straight out of Demonica and DemonTed's playbook.

On a more important front: within my brain Marten's 'correct title' is trying to attach itself to that 'power tool' maddness linked to:
the proper equipment (http://www.extremerestraints.com/fucking-machines_48/the-fucksall-fucking-adapter_438.html)
with very strange results.

He's just making sure no one, especially Dora, thinks even for a second that he actually agreed to "give" his girlfriend to his boss. A lot of miscommunication happens due to things not said that people think don't need to be said, but really should be.

Or it might open a whole new world for Little Hannelore. And Veronica produced the ever non-threatening Marten. How scary can she be?

However, it won't lead to any blasted Hantai. (Fire at will! Sink the Hantai! Give the miserable shippers a bath!)

The more I look at the last strip, the more Tai seems like one of those tiny, yapping dogs that simply will not shut up until you whack it with a club newspaper.

Hanners has probably encountered those same photos online, by accident or because of Pintsize making a nebulous comment knowing Hanners would research it or her curiousity would kill her.

Tai does really need more fleshing out than she has had so far, but I think she's kinda more of a Comic Sidekick character at the moment.  She reminds me of Chakotay in Voyager, an ongoing somewhat central character, but not written as well as could be.
