Because sometimes you just need to be that geek.
-
oh no not the poll again
I HATE YOU
not really but anyway
-
Winston??
-
Yes Winston -our friendly neighbourhood oversized iPod.
And I preferred the dog avatar.
-
Winslow, you mean.
-
I preferred the dog avatar.
Refresh till you see it again then (each refresh gets you a randomly chosen avi from nearly two dozen). The dog is Polly (http://cassland.org/album/polly/).
-
Nener try type out polls while the 5 year old is begging for his turn on the computer - all sorts of errors creep in...
Now all I have to do is figure out how to modify the poll.
-
Chose the first option
But Pancakes is definitely a good idea.
-
You can never go wrong with pancakes.

I always think Blue Kitty should set up the same sort of thing.
-
Yeah, he's got enough of them.
-
you forgot the obvious one, Dora tells Marten she wants a child.
-
Her mothering instincts sure have kicked into overdrive lately.
-
Now all I have to do is figure out how to modify the poll.
Wil, not Will.
Is that 1909 (http://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/1909)?
-
I wish wil would come back. I LOVED him!
Also F5 for Hanners - Marigold confrontation.
-
Did anyone else hear the "Ghostbusters" theme in their head as Hanners burst in?
-
The Germinator
:D
-
I *wish* I could wake up from a deep slumber and find pocky waiting for me!
-
OMG I fell of my chair. Best strip in a long time. :laugh:
-
My favorite part was Pintsize in the third panel: OM OM OM
hahahaha
-
Forget Yaoi Zone (please), we need that image of Hanners, stat. Or possibly a replica of her belt.
-
@ poll: Doesn't Hannelore already smile a lot? Sure she screwed up the forced smile, but she's grinned plenty of times before.
@ Strip title: Shouldn't that be, "come with me if you want to clean", or something more on topic?
-
You can just feel the mess in the room quiver in fear as Hanners busted through the door.
Also, wasn't that hentai folder payment? Just saying....
-

Don't cross the sprays!
If anyone asks if you're a maid, SAY YES!
Hannelore gained a few Awesome Points here, I just gotta say. Looks like she forgot that being in that suit marinates her with her own germs. Granted, it keeps OTHER germs out. Also, I predict that Marigold herself will not be neglected of a good cleaning. "Is it too soon for the dip in a mild acid?"
Also, wasn't that hentai folder payment? Just saying....
Heck no, that's just opportunistic looting. XD
-
This could still end badly...
BTW, is Marigold the name of a brand of rubber (http://www.ocado.com/webshop/product/Marigold-Large-Kitchen-Gloves/17441011) gloves (http://www.marigoldrubbergloves.co.uk/) for wearing while cleaning in places other than the UK?
-
Hannelore in that panel is print or poster material.
-
@ Strip title: Shouldn't that be, "come with me if you want to clean", or something more on topic?
Nah - loses some of the humor if you don't use the direct quote.
-
Hanners just won badass points.
-
Also, wasn't that hentai folder payment? Just saying....
I was thinking the exact same thing.
-
Marigold will find out that the hentai folder is larger than the available space on her hard drive 21 (35%)
Hanners learns to smile 2 (3.3%)
Momotan pings Winslow to give him a "heads up" about Hanners 4 (6.7%)
Wil returns to Penny 5 (8.3%)
Pancakes 28 (46.7%)
The poll results as of 0733 (EST - GMT -5) 1 Jun 09
Now to try and get creative. It's been a while so try to be gentle.
-
I wish wil would come back. I LOVED him!
Also F5 for Hanners - Marigold confrontation.
"I end messes, and you, Marigold, are a mess."
Round 1! CLEAN!!!
-
da-DAA-da-da-da-DAAAA-daaa, DAA-da-da-da-DAAAAAA-daaaaa....
That is all.
-
Marigold should be very, very afraid.
-
IT BEGINS.
-
anyone else think Hanners is looking equal parts scary and hot?
-
No - stop it right now.
-
OH SHI- The end is near! The cute girl and insanity levels are over 9000!
-
That last panel definitely could be a poster.
So freakin awesome.
:lol:
-
I really can totally see that last panel, possibly re-edited to a full-body image with no background, with her lines as a caption in nice bold letters, on a shirt. Too bad this isn't one of those strips that puts its characters on shirts.
This is also the first time I've actually heard a character's voice inside my head: for Marigold, of all people. I don't know really how to describe it, other than "kind of like Paula Poundstone run through Audacity to turn the pitch up. Only less unnatural-sounding."
-
IT BEGINS.
Shouldn't that be
AND SO IT BEGINS
Said in a musical toned voice.
:D ;)
-
Hannelore in that panel is print or poster material.
Heartily agree! But I was hoping she'd show up in Mod'd Halo armor more so than the envirosuit.
-
Her mothering instincts sure have kicked into overdrive lately.
Who else thinks that Dora's gonna gets some Geek time w/Pintsize and give him a Kawaii overhaul not only to his Outer frame, but to his core programming and give him a nice chibi schoolgirl sailor outfit to boot?
Some Azumanga Daioh piggy tails too, mayhap? :roll: :-D
Figure that Dora, Raven (cause it'd be cute and fun!) and Faye (Just cause she would think it's good clean mean fun!) all could come up with some nice outfits and code changes for Pintsize... think Robocop's extra prime directives
That'd make a fun strip - we don't see pintsize , just everyone's reaction to the new fem-kawaii Pintsize 2.0 - and the menu of choices he can select as proper verbal/physical actions... of course he'd want to select the violent and perverse ones, but they'd be lined out, disallowed. Last panel everyone in room has their faces close to PS2.0 w/looks of concern on their face and wondering why (s)he's smoking and shaking like that. Internally on screen we see emergency self destruct caused by critical fault overide in behavioral mods or some such... heheh.

I'm pretty sure nobody else thought of that.

Also I have no idea if this could be enlarged to desktop-size successfully.

Was anyone thinking of the theme music from Doctor Who when you saw the last panel. In my head it was awesome. Now that it write it down, it seems a little crazy.
:|I'm not saying that Hanners is a Time Lord.

I think the world will end soon... WE ARE DOOMEDED!!!!!!!!!!!111111onehundredeleventyone
-
...I can't decide whether hanners or marigold is more awesome in this strip...
-
Hanner's entrance has put her on top in awesome points, but it's still anyone's game.
-
GOOSH GOOSH
Oh dear.
-
I notice that everybody is wise enough not to try being in the same room as Hannelore, even to see what she's doing.
-
GOOSH GOOSH
Oh dear.
WAAAAGOOSHGOOSHGOOSH

Try One of These Days instead.
Isn't it usual to agree to payment terms before doing the work?
"He didn't tell me straight away, of course. First he wiped a couple of windows and charged me a fiver. Then he told me."
-
You can never go wrong with pancakes.
Yes, you can. Terribly wrong.
WAAAAGOOSHGOOSHGOOSH... I know that sound. But how Hanners got a commercial-grade heavy duty washing machine in there is beyond me.
-
I am trying really hard to imagine how GOOSHGOOSH would sound given the lettering style, which looks more "chainsaw" than "icky stuff", and of course the fact that the room is shaking. I'm getting nothing. To Pintsize's credit, antimatter explosion sounds as reasonable as anything.
-
OMG!
She used the Plasma Disintegrator in there!!!!!!!!
-
Err, you would know if it was an antimatter explosion.
As a hint, the Little Boy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_boy) bomb from Hiroshima didnt actually do that much: Approximately 600 milligrams of mass were converted into energy.
Meaning with 300 milligram of anitmatter you get an explosion like in Hiroshima (you will get the other 300 milligram of energy from the matter reacting with said antimatter).
-
E=mc2 will fuck your shit up.
-
And as of 0709 (GMT-5) here are the results:
Isn't it usual to agree to payment terms before doing the work? 7 (8.6%)
Aaaand the Marigold/Hanners shippers slip into overdrive 15 (18.5%)
Marten realizes that Marigold has an exchange of services in mind rather than cash 13 (16%)
Muirgheil will start next week's WCT 4 (4.9%)
Jeph will remove the polling option - again 15 (18.5%)
No good will come of this 27 (33.3%)
Total Voters: 81

As long as the polls don't explode too much stupid upon themselves, everything will be spiffy. =D
-
That'd make a fun strip - we don't see pintsize , just everyone's reaction to the new fem-kawaii Pintsize 2.0...
We're already ON Pintsize 2.1 or 2.2.

Return of the IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZERS? or longest sttring of quotes within quotes in the making?
-
Hmmm
Hanners cleanes messes
Mari distresses
Whilst Pintsize dons dresses?
I think the Pint seems his old self, though...unless Marigold is vewy twicky. Perish the thought.
-
It's either a pressure-washer or a flame-thrower.
-
Either one being completely inappropriate for this sort of job - this one requires that we nuke the site from orbit - just to be sure.
-
"He didn't tell me straight away, of course. First he wiped a couple of windows and charged me a fiver. Then he told me."
Yes.
-

Ok a pressure-washer shooting a stream of bleach or a flamethrower that shoots... um... blue fire. (Blue fire is hotter than red fire. Yeah.)
:-D
-
If it hasn't been said yet, it should be said now that Marigold and Hanners should TOTALLY be lesbians together.
It would never work. They're such opposites, the world might implode if there was ever a spark of mutual attraction between them.
-
I've had it with this motherfucking Hannelore shippers on this motherfucking forum.
-
Ok fine we'll fix her up with Faye. Happy now?! :-D
Oh and they say Opposites Attract so this potentially COULD lead to a strange romance.
Then again now that I've said it, it won't. :wink:
-
NO! I am NOT happy. I will not be happy until Hannelore is alone forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever
Or she settles down with a nice Scandinavian boy. Take your pick.
-
They still banning people for being creepy on here or are we safe again? Just wondering I got a buncha good 'uns I've been saving.
-
Meh. Being creepy is just creepy.

I haven't heard anyone shipping Hannelore and her mother. Hmm.
-
I will punch you through the internet.
-
Having worked in the home-cleaning industry (I sold and repaired all manner of vaccums, shampooers and so on), I can say with little doubt that that is the sound of EITHER a Rainbow water vacuum (unlikely since they're obsolete), or a carpet shampooer - likely commercial grade.
That said, I could NOT handle someone else in my stuff, let along CLEANING my stuff.
Unless it was Winona Ryder. Her, I could handle.
Heh. Mmmmm.... Yesss......

"Everybody kisses everybody else" Might just cover all of this.

Trying to figure Hannelore out.
Cleaning is something she's forced to do by her OCD, not a hobby she chose for fun. She even keeps her apartment empty so that she won't be driven to clean things all the time.
So what's with the apparent enjoyment?
Hypothesis 1: cleaning is soothing for her.
Hypothesis 2: since she's compelled to do it anyway, she's made herself learn to enjoy cleaning
Hypothesis 3: she is both a neat freak and an OCD sufferer, two independent traits that happen to overlap
Hypothesis 4: it's just a webcomic and who cares as long as it's funny. The problem with this hypothesis is that it disparages Jeph's storytellling: he's usually held himself to an internal logic in how his characters act.
-
I'm going to go with a mix of 1 2 3 and 4.
-
There is another option
Jeph sees what will push our buttons the most, then either makes the comic up out of that, ot the exact opposite.
:D ;)
-
Because she's driven to clean because of her OCD, she's an expert at it. Dora called in a favor.
-
Gotta love Jeph, pushing through the pain to provide us with free entertainment. I say everyone buys a shirt, or if you live in Massachusetts, buy him a coffee or a beer sometime.
-
God, Hannelore, stop being such a bitch.
That is all.
-
God, Hannelore, stop being such a bitch.

I found motherly Hanners to be quite amusing.
Just sayin'
-
Jesus Christ she's pissed off. A bitch almost.
It's great! Reminds me the original Hannelore.
-
Gunny Hannelore strides in.
I like the placement of that Poster in the background.
-
Damn, Hanners.
Damn.
-
Damn, Hanners.
Damn.
Yeah. She could give Gunny Heartman a run for his money.

Well, now you've gone and piqued my curiosity.
A mod got upset and banned a couple people for shipping Hannelore and her mother. Frankly, it seemed kind of high handed to me. I mean, I don't recall creepiness being a bannable offense, being highly subjective and all. Banning people just because you're a mod and they creep you out and you can- not exactly conducive to open discussion. When the newsbox is currently saying this "THE NEWSBOX IS FURIOUSLY MASTURBATING TO THE PICTURES YOU POSTED IN THE PHOTO THREAD" to me, what happened here http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,23152.100.html is overreacting.
But enough of that.
....
So- how about motherly Hannelore? I can just imagine her screaming "clean up that room NOW mister, or I'll clean it myself!" complete with heavy steps up the stairs and the poor kid frantically trying to find a safe place to stash his physical porn. Er, not that I speak from experience or anything (you cannot IMAGINE how glad I was to get my own computer).
-
All I remember thinking during that exchange was "If this was my first time on a forum I would quickly see they are no fun. People are either creepy or being yelled at for being creepy."
-
physical porn? wow, how... twencen. :wink:
-
...no fun. People are either creepy or being yelled at for being creepy.
Perhaps the moral of the story is that being creepy isn't fun (it's a lazy substitute for it).

The thing was that they weren't that creepy (though again, subjective). I mean, they were shipping Hannelore with her mother and Marigold and coming up with names for the relationships, but they weren't being explicit or going any further than that, and it's not like sqeeing over Hannelore hasn't happened before- it even got a yelling bird shout out. It's kind of like being on the playground and watching two guys rough house and poke each other, but no one cares or is concerned until a teacher blows it out of proportion and tells them to not to fight, then takes them off to detention for fighting, with no notice. If the teacher had just let it slide it would have just stayed at that harmless level, but then the punishment takes it to another level whether or not it was necessary.
physical porn? wow, how... twencen. :wink:
My dad had lots of old Playboys and an intermittent collection of Hustlers, most of which were his dads. The computer being passworded and in a common room, I didn't exactly have other options except the attic.
-
Marigold can't stand up to Hannelore.
Can anybody? Faye couldn't. Hannelore also broke up an intractable Dora/Marten fight.
But Pintsize ... she's never prevailed over Pintsize.
-
Actually, I feel very sorry for Marigold. She is not lazy, as Hannelore puts it - she is simply a hoarder, and needs more help than these three can provide.
— Hoarding is a mental health issue and is not due to laziness, personality flaws, or stubbornness.
— Hoarding and saving symptoms are part of a discrete clinical syndrome that also includes indecisiveness, perfectionism, procrastination, difficulty in organizing tasks, and avoidance.
— Compulsive hoarding has been linked with OCD, ADHD, depression, and social phobia, however, evidence suggests it is a separate disorder.
— Compulsive hoarding is treatable. Cleaning up the hoarder’s house (without their permission or involvement) is not treatment, as the hoarding behavior will continue.
It's just interesting that these comics come up now, because I've been looking into exactly this to try to help myself. I'm not as bad as she is (I take out my trash on a regular basis and never have any pests), but I understand exactly how it goes. She says she's absent-minded - that definitely comes with the territory, I'm the most absent-minded person I know. I've had friends try to help, but it's difficult to just have someone go through all your things and indiscriminately decide what is valuable and what is not. And for the stuff you want to keep, you don't want them to just put it somewhere - you want to be the one to decide where the perfect place for it is. And even if someone does help you clean the place, the hoarding behavior hasn't been addressed, so before you can say Jiminy Cricket, it's a big mess all over again. I wouldn't be surprised if it were a mess when Hannelore comes back. In fact, it would make sense.
Also, Marigold's comment of "it was vintage!" - very much a hoarder's mentality. Excessive sentimental value is attached to almost everything you own, which is one of the reasons that nothing is gotten rid of.
I feel for her because there the shame she feels in today's comic is real, and it's difficult to deal with. You don't invite people over to your apartment because you're embarrassed. It gets in the way of your everyday life, it's hard to establish a daily routine, and sleep patterns are out of whack. You don't want to talk about it, and being berated over it just makes the self-loathing worse. No matter how you try, you can't seem to make a dent, and that just makes you feel worse about yourself, and the cycle continues. Sometimes you just stop trying altogether, and if depression sets in, then you just don't feel like even putting in the effort.
Over time, you just get used to it, and even though it makes you feel bad about yourself, makes you think you're lazy (even though you're not), it's just easier to ignore it and tell yourself, "That's just the way I am. I shouldn't have to apologize for who I am!" In reality though, deep down you know you'll feel much better about yourself when you get things under control. But the answers are neither easy nor swift, and take commitment - a level of commitment I hope to find one day.
*whew*
Anyways, I guess now you guys know more about me than you cared to. But you know a little more about Marigold, too, so maybe that's a plus. If you have any more questions about the issue (with regards to Marigold, of course, not me), feel free to ask.

Yeah I did. What's your point? The newsbox post is an obvious joke. Constantly cheering for various members of the cast to fuck each other isn't.
-
anyhoo comic comment here eh (my canadistan is showing again)
for a moment I thought "Osaka's" expression changed from a huh wha spaced out to more of a ahh i'm happy now but sadly its just my imagination. They look exactly the same. Way too keep the continuity there Jeph. :laugh:
*edit* also at least Hannah didn't go all 5S on the room. Although the dirty clothes bin sign comes close.

Someone as sensitive as you being given administrative privileges is an obvious joke.

Drill seargent, definitely.
"Private Marigold, what do you think you are doing? Move your lazy ass to the bathroom and clean yourself, ASAP! And if I see one more dirty spot in this house, I dare you Private, pass is axed!"
"M-ma'am, yes, ma'am..."
-
Is this one of those sitcom situations where they realize in the end, the ideal cleanliness lies in the middle ground?
I think I saw this episode of Full House already.
-
There is no middle ground - there is clean, there is not clean - the middle ground you speak of is simply a degree of uncleanliness.
And speaking as someone who has gone through lots of living in miltiary barracks (and of inspecting them), there is either clean, or there is a completely disgusting cesspool guaranteed to have you in the MIR for some self inflicted disease brought on by your filthy habits.
-

Hey now. Don't be rude just because you disagree- that's counterproductive at best.
That said, the sensitivity level does need to be lowered quite a bit. I don't think that two people coming up with hypothetical names for hypothetical relationships between fictional characters mean to be taken seriously, even if it's not a joke. Taking something seriously that's not meant to be is just as hostile (if not more so) as being (subjectively) creepy.
And to be clear to those wondering what the hell this chatter is about, at here: http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,23152.100.html there was a bunch of chatter shipping hannelore, marigold, others The last two to comment on it (after est had expressed displeasure with the topic but said nothing about bannings) said this: "Shouldn't that be RUN!!!! ESCAPE!!!! Cheesy
Yes, I am a Runescape victim
*USS HanTai goes to Red Alert*"
And this: "Quote from: Kugai on May 27, 2009, 10:22:43 PM
*USS HanTai goes to Red Alert*
Maybe there can be a HanTai/Marigold threeway!
*ahem*
*goes back to lurking*" and were banned for three days for their comments. I really shouldn't care about this, not being a shipper in general and not being involved in this specifically, but this kind of situation really bugs me.
-
Yes, I am still banning people for being creepy. It is not a transitory thing.
You are my most favorite person ever. As a proud non-creeper, I may actually spapost here more often now.
-
None of the above.
Marigold has obviously stimulated Hannelore's mothering instinct.
-
As one of the Banee's and a Site Admin myself, I can understand where est was coming from. Other issues over the banning were sorted out privately between me and est, and as far as I am concerned, the issue is closed, dead and buried - further discussion on this matter is flogging a dead, smelly Horse.
I still think Hanners would make a good Drill Seargent, but should go for training with R. Lee Ermy :D
-
From now on all moderators have my permission to permanently ban anyone using shipper-mashups of character names because if I see one more instance of the word "HanTai" I am going to burn this entire fucking place to the ground.

"I..it was vintage"
That's classic!
See what I did there?

-
quote Also she doesn't know how to properly pluralize "manga." unquote
Actually, Jeph, there is no way to properly pluralize manga; Japanese has no plurals. (Weird, huh?) Unless the proper pluralization is "mangii"?
-
I think with Manga, it's a matter of context. There really is no plural for it.

Wooooo, Jeph! I cannot believe people are bitching about the mods being "too sensitive". Given Jeph actually, seriously has considered shutting this down for obnoxiousness I think we can all suck it up. :roll:
Edit: Hanners irritates me due to insipid-ness and knowing a gazillion people are going "aww, Hanners!!!" at any given time, but in particular irritated me today because I live in a fucking pig sty (er, no wild rats though), because there are two human hoarders (of things) and a lot of animals in a big house and we both work a lot. Yes I need to change it but if someone dared speak to me like that it'd be a fine line as to whether I would actually smack them one, and I've never hit anyone who didn't hit me first. For fuck's sake. :x

From now on all moderators have my permission to permanently ban anyone using shipper-mashups of character names because if I see one more instance of the word "HanTai" I am going to burn this entire fucking place to the ground.
OK, pardon me while I go get the torch. Do you want gasoline or kerosene for the acellerant?

Edit: Hanners irritates me due to insipid-ness and knowing a gazillion people are going "aww, Hanners!!!" at any given time, but in particular irritated me today because I live in a fucking pig sty (er, no wild rats though), because there are two human hoarders (of things) and a lot of animals in a big house and we both work a lot. Yes I need to change it but if someone dared speak to me like that it'd be a fine line as to whether I would actually smack them one, and I've never hit anyone who didn't hit me first. For fuck's sake. :x
This was the best most un-insipid Hannelore comic in years. If you're over the age of 20 and someone has to clean that much shit out of your living space for you they are allowed to talk to you like that and you are required to let them.

If she chose to live that way, she certainly deserved it, as her room was a pestilent hole putting the health of the rest of the inhabitants of that building at risk. But if she is indeed a compulsive hoarder, she certainly did not deserve such a scolding. Anyways, I think taking advantage of Hanners and her compulsions was an even worse act.

You folks do realize you are talking about made up people, as in, they are not real, right?

I vote we add this sentence to the bannable-offense list.

So!!!! Marigold really does know Angus, but how?
are they:
a) dating
b) siblings
c) roommates
d) in some sort of business relation ship
e) something else entirely
I hope we find out tomorrow.
-
Bwaaaaah-ha-haaa! I am SOOOO lucky that I didn't read that strip at work. No way the boss wouldn't have come over to see what my cackling was about.
-
There was something that really caught my eye about Marigold's sideways glance in panel 3, something that suggested she knew something was about to happen.
Marten has the weirdest friends.
-

I never thought siblings...that's a possibility though!
-
the last panel is making me happy in what i suspect are unintended ways.
-
I am still laughing at today's strip.
I want a print of Angus hugging Hanners.
-
liked the tearfull puppy eyes on Angus....so much emotion :cry:
-
I'm thinking Marigold and Angus are siblings! I don't know why I just get that feeling from how Angus reacted in today's strip, it was just the first thing came to my mind. Maybe they're like half siblings or something... maybe even step siblings? I just don't think they're dating for whatever reason.
-
a) dating
b) siblings
c) roommates
d) in some sort of business relation ship
e) something else entirely
I'm going to go with C) for now. They look only a bit alike (around the eyes), so they could be siblings, but I'm guessing roommates for now. Mostly because they were already in the apartment when they knocked on her door, and she was expecting Angus. After all, if he has to live around her filth, he would be thrilled that it was cleaned up. Though C) does not necessarily rule out B).
-
I feel for Marten.
I really, really do. I know his pain.
-
I'll go for roommates. It makes the most sense - would feel a little too, iunno..forced? if she turned out to be Angus's ex. I mean, why would he go back to his ex, who he so obviously hated
Or divorced. Because it makes no sense.
-
Oh wow, Jeph really took a turn for the better by adding Marigold as a character. So much fun. :lol:

So, I'm ready for Faye to go off on Angus before he tells her Marigold's his sister...

The aliteration bug hit - and then ran.

liked the tearfull puppy eyes on Angus....so much emotion :cry:
Puppy teary eyed Angus is so funny and Hanner's reaction is like Oh Shit what am I supposed to do in this social situation?
Then HHHHHHHHHHH occurs. :-D
-
The look on Angus's face is so adorable. I would want to hug him back. Then again, I don't have crippling OCD.
Actually I have a crippling need to eat Twinkies. Mmmm Twinkies. You can hug and eat Twinkies at the same time.
-
I don't think Angus and Marigold are (closely) related, though. You can tell by the noses. My guess is roommates.
-
Oh wow, Jeph really took a turn for the better by adding Marigold as a character. So much fun. :lol:
Learn from this: Trust the Jeph
-
I don't think Angus and Marigold are (closely) related, though. You can tell by the noses. My guess is roommates.
They could be step siblings, half siblings, one could be adopted...
Or they could just be roommates/friends. All I'm saying is just because they don't look alike that doesn't make it impossible for them to be related.
-
Unless Marigold doesn't have a lock on her door (which might make sense because everyone else doesn't seem to knock to get in), then Angus has a key, so he might be her roommate. Additionally, that would explain why the rest of the apartment isn't as dirty.
-
Angus' and Hanners' expressions totally made my day. :D
-
In other news, the character of Marigold has made me realize that I, too, am a compulsive hoarder.
Junodog said something in the 'Marigold' thread (now locked for some reason) that was interesting. Even if you're not a compulsive hoarder, per se, there's something more going on than just 'being lazy'.
I have my messy room and I've got a nice plan for cleaning it up, then I get tired or distracted and end up not getting anything done, and then I've got another few dirty kleenexes on the floor that I had meant to throw away but forgot about in the time between the thought of "this needs to be thrown away" and actually getting up to do something else, and then a week passes after I first intended to clean everything up and it's about the same, if not worse, than it was before. The only thing that can keep me from doing this is if I have enough space for storage (which is only the case about half the time, if that) or if my room is in pretty good shape to begin with. Getting distracted is a huge part of it.
Of course, in my case it actually is a mental disorder, seeing as I've got ADHD and an anxiety disorder, but it's not necessarily hoarding. For me it was just getting distracted and not having a trash can nearby or having places to put stuff/organize it. I'm better now than I was, though, mostly because I've gotten into better routines over the years and I know how to organize things in the best way possible for me. I think Marigold might just be one of those people who forgets about the stuff that doesn't interest her and doesn't do anything about it for a long time. And yes, I have forgotten to throw stuff away for months at a time.
ALSO: i've been reading a book that I have found SUPER-HELPFUL, and maybe you should check it out.
It's Hard to Make a Difference When You Can't Find Your Keys (http://www.amazon.com/Hard-Make-Difference-When-Cant/dp/0142196177) - not just another book about getting organized. It speaks to the chronically disorganized - talking not just about being disorganized, but why we are disorganized. Not just 'don't do X, do Y', but how to really get at the root of the issues. You can read the first chapter here (http://www.marilynpaul.com/book.html) or download it as a PDF here (http://www.marilynpaul.com/book.pdf). Just the first chapter spoke to me so much - so maybe check it out, perhaps it's something for you too. :-)
Ok, back to your regularly scheduled comic forum.
-
I'll point out that Marigold has Steve's nose...

I think it was locked because of the creepiness factor exceeding 9000. Also, we're still talking about a comic here, so Marigold might not be a compulsive hoarder or just lazy, but being in exaggerated filth for Hanners to unleash her wrath upon.

STOP HUGGING

Also, we know that said ex hates coffee of doom because they "snailed" (hehe A <3 M) her coffee.
Faye says she didn't do it, it seems a bit severe for Penelope, and Merigold did not recognize Dora.
Unless Raven gave a snailed coffee and Dora didn't care, I say that rules her out.
-

Does she have the mental capability to snail someone's coffee out of spite? Maybe it was a failed attempt at making an Escargotspresso.

New comic. And, indeed, this can't be good.

Hanners and Manga and Yaoi and Firemen, Oh my!!!

Oh gods no. She's ruined.
Maybe she'll start popping pills again and meeting drunk guys in bar bathrooms.

That may or may not be a good thing. Oldhanners was awesome, but Newhanners is cute...
I'm torn :(
-
Ummmmmmm
This is gonna be interesting - Marigold's gonna get her hooked.
-
I'm looking forward to the coming week.
And a return of OldHanners might be interesting.
-
But what are your thoughts on yaoi?
-
OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT THE FLOOD GATES HAVE BROKEN OPEN!!! HOLY FUCK THERE IS WAVES OF HANNERS WANKING TO YAOI PICTURES! IT WILL DESTROY THE CITY! FUCK FUCK FUCK! QUICK CALL THE ALARM WE HAVE TO WARN ALL THE OTHER SHIPERS! THE S.S. HANTAI IS GONNA GO DOWN! OH THE HUMANITY IT IS EVERY WHERE!
-
Lending someone your yaoi ("_Ya_mette! _O_rishii ga _I_tain desu!") probably counts as a bonding experience.
Hannelore seems to have missed out on a typical adolescence. Looks like with her new friends she's able to do deferred parts of the growing up process, e.g. trying new music.
-
Did...did he just start a YAOI based plotline? I *knew* there was a reason I faithfully read this comic...*munches on popcorn and watches the plot unfold way too slowly*
-
...Sigh, I'm torn. While I'm liking this new, cute direction that Hanners is going in but.... Yaoi? Dammit, Now I'm not sure If I'm supposed to continue to like her, like her more, or like her less. DAMN YOU INTERNET!
-
This comic was amusing, yet all I can think of is that the manga Hannelore is holding doesn't read right-to-left and now I'm going to be wondering if Jeph just forgot that most manga is printed right-to-left or if he did it on purpose. I feel strange because usually I'm not nitpicky enough to care about stuff like that for more than a few seconds.
But uh, yeah, Hannelore and yaoi. Interesting things to come, methinks. Yeah.
-
Hmm OK, so today I learned what the term "Yaoi" means... Japan is SO weird, really.
-

1) You're not saying anything anyone doesn't know. So thanks for adding nothing to the conversation.
2) If you had actually read what I wrote, you'd realize that the entire post was me talking to Aegir about some things that we might have in common, and some things that I wanted to share with people in case they had similar troubles. Nothing about Marigold.
3) I am doing my very best (and it is indeed difficult) not to chew you out for bringing up the same stupid point that everyone who says it thinks is so incredibly enlightening. Turns out *gasp* it's not. I'm not even going to go into it, it's been talked to death so damned often. Just let people have their discussions in peace.

Ew.

Also good thing this storyline reestablished Hannelore being the center of the QCverse.
Such a good thing.
Yes, this is me bitching and moaning once again, but I expected a bit diversion. Halfway through it's already same old + another character whose main purpose feels like to be setting up Hannelore moments (messy room? Hannelore. Yaoi? Eh, whatever, Hannelore).
And yeeeees I could "just stop reading QC yadda" if I didn't like it, but the thing is I used to enjoy it most of the time.

The covers. On normal manga (and most of the abnormal manga), we would see the front cover on the left (relative to the viewer, not the reader's left) and the back cover on the right. With Magical Love Gentlemen, however, we can see that the front cover is on the right. There are four possible reasons for this.
1. Jeph made an oops. He is only human and so is entitled to make mistakes now and again.
2. The translating company flipped the artwork to suit the western audience. Or they just flipped the cover for some reason.
3. Magical Love Gentlemen is a western manga done with a japanese art style, but formated in the western way.
4. The covers are a rare printing error.

Aaaand thinking of a new poll has me stumped for being on topic, so I'll just go with something unrelated to today's comic (mainly cause I find most manga boring, and yaoi creepy)
-
Hmm OK, so today I learned what the term "Yaoi" means... Japan is SO weird, really.
Yeah, that makes two of us. Once again, QC expands my worldly knowledge, whether I like it or not.
Um, okay. I'm confused. Yaoi is just ... it means gay. Gay between two men specifically (Yuri is lesbians). It doesn't involve any kinks (well, sometimes it does, but the word "yaoi" doesn't refer to any "kink" except gayness, which ... isn't a kink). If you think gay relationships are squicky, okay -- that's fine, & you should stop reading this comment.
I don't see why yaoi is any more strange than all of the male-oriented lesbian porn that exists on the American market. Most red-blooded hetero males I know can't even explain what it is that they prefer about lesbian porn to hetero. Sometimes, they say it feels -- ironically! -- "less gay" to watch, because there aren't any cocks in it.
I think the Japanese have found a pretty brilliant way to market man-on-man to women, by involving a romantic story (I find that most women dislike porn because it lacks "a story" -- what could be more of a story than holding a physical book in your hands?). Most gay porn in America markets to gay men (at least, I think that's what the deal is, based on how it's shot etc). Whereas, yaoi is written to appeal to women specifically. Even though I don't like porn too much in general, I still think it's pretty cool that Japan has found a porn market for women. In American society, it's still not totally acceptable for women to openly discuss masturbation and have an interest in porn. It's obviously way better than it used to be, but not totally there yet. I'm not sure if that's why people are "squicked" by today's comic, but ... considering that we just finished up a plot where Faye buys her first vibrator, I think everybody needs to loosen up a little in the name of QC.
All THAT said, Japan is totally weird (hello, tentacle porn? High rate of groping on subways? Whaaaat). I just don't consider yaoi to be even remotely a weird invention.
-
Hannelore kicks so much ass in this one.
I cant wait for this to play out.

I realy dont realy care about the way a book faces,if some of you do,so be it but i dont. I dont see what the fuss is about,but it doesnt matter.
I wonder what She did with Pintsize's "Lot o'Porn" i wonder if she realy did take some....
-
Actually, there's quite a bit of erotica and romance that is m/m that is marketed to women. I think the part that weirds some people out is that in yaoi there are pictures. Some people like to pretend that if there are no pictures, it's not porn.
-
Waha, nothing to bring me out of non-postan mode than misreading something.
I thought the yaoi manga's title was "Magical love goddamn"
-
I think the part that weirds some people out is that in yaoi there are pictures. Some people like to pretend that if there are no pictures, it's not porn.
LOL. That's true. Also in my comment I didn't factor in erotic literature in general (which ... I THINK is more for women than men, but obviously making generalizations like that is unfair of me, anyway. Porn is for everyone who likes it! Yayyy!!!).
My point is just, ... I don't understand why people would be more squicked out by yaoi than they would be by say, a romance novel, or, lesbian American porn. I would try to point out a more specific double standard, but I don't even understand what it IS. I think people may not fully understand how basic yaoi is as a genre though, and that unless you're squicked by buttsex, then ... you're probably not gonna get squicked by run-of-the-mill yaoi.
Also, these people are reading a comic with Tai in it. TAI, people. Her entire life is way more squicky than yaoi.
-
1. To all the Hanners/Marigold shippers: seriously? I think it's already been established fairly well that Hannelore has a pretty low 'icky' tolerance.
2. No good can come of Hanners developing a taste for yaoi. Much hilarity, but no good.
-
She went off firemen pretty quick, so this interest could be as fleeting.
-
She went off firemen pretty quick, so this interest could be as fleeting.
That's because she met some. And they weren't like in the pictures.
Yaoi is much different to that. It's not photographs.
I for one welcome our new yaoi Hannelore.

Amorously Attentive Angus Affects Ambivalent Apprehension All Around

1. To all the Hanners/Marigold shippers: seriously? I think it's already been established fairly well that Hannelore has a pretty low 'icky' tolerance.
True, but Marigold could be the difference. Whether she winds up with her, or with anyone else male or female, will depend on what Jeph has in mind for her character development. Would I like to see her hook up with Marigold - or Tai even? - of course!! But that all depends on which way Jeph takes her character now that Marigold is in the mix.
2. No good can come of Hanners developing a taste for yaoi. Much hilarity, but no good.
Oh so true,
-
It's not an alliteration, it's an assonance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assonance). </pedantic>
I would argue that any sequence of words all beginning with vowels (even if not the same vowel) would qualify as alliteration - of the null consonant.
Especially since there are three vowel sounds involved here anyway:
"Amorously Attentive Angus Affects Ambivalent Apprehension All Around"
-
>Much Hilarity?<<
Likely- Can see Hanners drunk one night while gang hanging out, sitting like a vulture watching social interplay between of the group. Steve is sitting next to Marten who's sitting next to Steve. And out of the blue Hanners asks if Marten's gonna kiss Steve for something nice Steve just did or something he did in past that was just retold/rehashed. Dora quips back, yeah why not Marten...turning and pushing Marten towards Steve. Steve catching on to the joke (or not, being three sheets to the wind secret agent who's probably played a gay man before) leans forward to kiss Marten. Good tension/good hilarity- especially if Pintsize and or Faye walk in at that moment--- leaves punchlines and unspoken comments in the thousands abounding to be writ yet...
That's one possibility...bet there are hundreds more Jeph can come up with and you guys too... :roll:

I really can't think of a better title then "Magical Love Gentleman." Part of me wants to believe it's real and find it for myself. Purely for educational purposes, of course. *shifty eyes*
-
That may or may not be a good thing. Oldhanners was awesome, but Newhanners is cute...
I'm torn :(
This could indicate a nice middle ground between the two Hanners; simultaneously cute and adorable, but underneath that exterior lies the heart of a true yaoi fangal...
-
Just occurred to me...
The title of the manga is Magical Love Gentleman.
(http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/3/33/Gentlemen.jpg)
Now how does that apply to yaoi?
-
Hanners = Cute
Hanners + Porn = ???
-
OK folks - do I repeat the polls idea for next week?
see the new poll above.
-
On normal manga (and most of the abnormal manga), we would see the front cover on the left (relative to the viewer, not the reader's left) and the back cover on the right. With Magical Love Gentlemen, however, we can see that the front cover is on the right. There are four possible reasons for this.
1. Jeph made an oops. He is only human and so is entitled to make mistakes now and again.
2. The translating company flipped the artwork to suit the western audience. Or they just flipped the cover for some reason.
3. Magical Love Gentlemen is a western manga done with a japanese art style, but formated in the western way.
4. The covers are a rare printing error.
5. Jeph is trying to compensate for the sheer number of comic panels in the world where someone's reading a book, facing partly to the right, and the title is written on what should be the back cover so it can be seen in the panel. (Seriously, other cartoonists, just change the angle of the shot; it's not that hard.)
-
6. He wants to mess with his hopelessly picky fans.
-
What, is nitpicking the art the new character shipping? :roll:
-
No, there's always been a strong nitpicking tradition.

But since shipping has become a bannable offense, something is bound to fill in the void.

Of the twelve of you who voted - the majority voted yes, and three of you said over my dead and rotting corpse. Thanks for the vote of confidence, however my desire to do the poll was overtaken by my desire to sit around the house, and sip wine with my wife.
Sorry, a man has to have priorities.
-
Just realized something about Marigold.
When we first met Momo-tan, Pintsize mentioned that her owner "just moved in".
Her room has boxes of Pocky that are 10 years old.
She MOVED her vintage Pocky.
There's something more than laziness going on with her.
-
The ten year estimate for the age of the pocky may have been a bit of hyperbole.
Then again, Hannelore may have counted the rings in the fungus that was growing on the pocky, you know, just for the hell of it.
-
She MOVED her vintage Pocky.
There's something more than laziness going on with her.
Yep. My guess is compulsive hoarding.
I have a hoarder friend who has moved 3 times over the last several years, and has boxes of mixed junk from the first move that haven't been opened since the day they were "packed". What's in them? It's a mystery! But they just can't go through them and get rid of anything because they can't bear to part with their junk.

Amorously Attentive Angus Affects Ambivalent Apprehension All Around
Thanks for the alliteration.
It's not an alliteration, it's an assonance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assonance). </pedantic>
"Alliteration may also include the use of different consonants with similar properties (labials, dentals, etc.) or even the unwritten glottal stop that precedes virtually every word-initial vowel in the English language, as in the phrase "Apt alliteration's artful aid" (despite the unique pronunciation of the "a" in each word).
</pedantic too, sorry>

My solution to the problem of moving junk... my car is a Mazda Miata (MX-5 for those in Europe.) For those unaware, this is a 2-seater convertible with a small trunk.
I may have to do a cross country move on VERY short notice. In the Miata.
There's no room to move junk in a Miata.
-
How much do you like your stuff?
One option would be to rent a U-haul truck and drag the miata behind on a trailer, which also can be rented.
Another option, UPS the stuff that wont fit in the miata, and sell the stuff that's too big to ship.
Third option, sell the miata, buy a bigger vehicle.
-
The flatbed trailers are better, so you don't put an unnecessary 3000+ highway miles' worth of wear on the Miata.
Or you could get the biggest U-Haul you can get your hands on and carry the Miata inside along with the rest of your stuff. :lol:

one of my friends owns an old U-Haul... He uses it as a party room and managed to score some awesome police reports... imagine a U-haul going at 120 Km/h with a drunk driver, 20-30 drunk and high teenagers in the back, a modified sound system that probably violates a few weapons treaties, and no one has a licence... and he's flirting with the female cop

A Nissan Town Ace Diesel with the rear seats removed and a Car Trailer was all I used,
-
The problem is, I looked at U-Haul, and it'd be $1800 not including tax just in rental fees.
I'm going to just sell the stuff that I can't fit in or on the car. Less fragile stuff will go on the car. And, I'll even sell the passenger seat of the car to make more room.
-
$1800? Wow. You might be able to outright buy one of their old trucks for less than that.
What about those services like PODS where they basically give you a painted-up mini shipping crate to fill with stuff? I personally don't know the pricing, but it can't hurt to look.

You know me? We're friends?
Seriously, I've lived in my current apartment for 2 years now and I've still got a few of boxes that I haven't opened. That's not even taking in to account the 4 or 5 boxes I have in storage that haven't been opened from the time before last, which was some 5 years ago. The Man helps try to keep my hoarding down to a minimum, but there's only so much he can do.
Now he says we have to empty out our storage. He bought me a huge bookshelf for the 4 big boxes of books I've got in there, but I still have no idea where I'm supposed to put my collection of Playboys so that the kids don't accidentally find them. They'll probably end up in a lock box. :|
