Well, I suppose that most clothing wears out/smells/whatever after a while.

He was considerate enough not to remind her about her leather pants from high school.

I was just thinking that lol.

Oh. Wow. Nobody's posted a thread yet. Gee. You see, I don't have the bona fides for this, but WTF, eh?
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!!! OMG, WTF is he all right?
No damage, just another thread was posted while I was exhibiting manual dexterity.
I just wanted to say that I was raised in a community that was like 80% Norwegian so watching Dora go blond is like a major turnoff. Ebony tresses, now that's exotic and tres sexy.
-
Just noticed that in panel two Dora's right arm is chunkier than her left. I thought that only happened with guys, and only with guys without girlfriends at that. And no, you can't measure my biceps.
-
Marten retired a hoodie!?
It's the end of an era! RRRUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!
-
A Hoodie Pieta would be pretty funny.

There's a lot of things you do with your arm muscles besides masturbating.
-
Requiescat in Pace ?
Shouldn't that be "Peace" ?
-
Why does Dora do his laundry? They don't even live together... Vomit.
-
I HAS A HOODIE :lol:

okay, I'll go stand in the penalty box http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1410 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1410)
-
I can identify with Marten here (maybe for the first time). My favorite hoodie is also falling apart. It sucks, cos it is so comfortable and fits perfectly. I already lost my favorite pair of jeans to the ravages of time. Le sigh.
@ Jarvis - Maybe she just washed the hoodie because the french fry smell bothered her so much.
-
I'm glad his shirt says Fever Ray. I think I'm going to invest in some plain black t-shirts on which I will scribble with white fabric marker to be more like Marten
-
Requiescat in Pace ?

No, "Pax".
-
The comic reads as if he has only one hoodie - but he's told us he's got lots (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=560).
And "pace" is correct.
-
I'll take your word on it. My Latin-to-English dictionary seems to fail me more often than not.
-
Your Latin-to-English dictionary obviously doesn't feel the need to decline its nouns.
-
Technically, pace is the singular Ablative case of the noun pax. Of course you could just say "Rest In Peace" but everything sounds cooler in Latin.
And yeah, I thought Marten had a breeding colony of black hoodies in the back of his wardrobe.
-
It isn't just the hoodie, Dora has been washing his underwear too: can't find the strip number, but she tells Hannelore that Marten's laundry is free of skid marks.
-
She could have noticed that during the various times he took his undies off.
-
Of course you could just say "Rest In Peace" but everything sounds cooler in Latin.
This is true! I have song titles in Latin. Yes, I really am that pretentious.
-
I'm curious as to what Marten will wear on cold days from now on.
-
Technically, pace is the singular Ablative case of the noun pax. Of course you could just say "Rest In Peace" but everything sounds cooler in Latin.
In other words, Latin is the 'slow-motion' of languages? I can see that.
As for Dora washing Marten's clothes, I think that's moving a bit fast. Next he's going to be taking out her garbage. And then...then someone (guess who) gets assigned the role of dish-washer. (And never mind if you have a dishwasher—teh womens insist on pre-washing).
-
(And never mind if you have a dishwasher—teh womens insist on pre-washing).
Older dishwashers couldn't handle more stuff on the dishes than a little grease, so you had to do this. Of course, now dishwashers often have a garbage disposal built in to the drain and run commercials where they put in a plate with an entire chocolate cake on it, so I'm guessing this doesn't apply as much anymore.
-
What a waste of chocolate cake!
-
What a waste of chocolate cake!
That's what she... was.
-
Well I for one never studied Latin. As a consequence I've had to look up what "Pieta" meant only to find its Italian and not Latin. Hurrah for Wikipedia.
-
Why does Dora do his laundry? They don't even live together... Vomit.
My thoughts exactly. Well, that, and I actually find it very hard to believe that Dora would do his laundry for him. It doesn't seem to fit her character.
-
Just noticed that in panel two Dora's right arm is chunkier than her left. I thought that only happened with guys, and only with guys without girlfriends at that. And no, you can't measure my biceps.
It's her sword arm dummy :D
Now he'll have to get his other hoodies to breed again.
-

Why? IS she too strong, intelligent, and fiercely independant to help out with normal chores now?
Seriously guys, it's pretty obvious she's not a goth anymore, and its never stated that Marten doesn;t take turns doing this stuff too.
Who knows, perhaps Jeph is considering having them tie the knot? Could be an interesting arc.
-
Jeph did say once that none of the characters are close to being grown up enough to make a marriage work.
-
50-50 on certain chores is one thing, but I have to agree on confusion over why a woman who doesn't live with her boyfriend would be doing his laundry. I live with my boyfriend and I NEVER do his laundry (though he does occasionally add some of mine to his loads.)
And uh, ladies could easily have larger right hands. For all sorts of reasons, some more eyebrow-worthy than others. Seriously, I was just thinking how worthless my left arm is in some ways. All about the right hand. If you fellows know what I am saying.
-
Somehow, this strip scared me more than the fish-heads...
-
oh god I can't stop laughing.
-
.....
I am both laughing my ass off and fearing for Jeph's sanity. This is simultaneously the most hilarious and fucked up thing I've seen in awhile. Bravo!

Maybe, one of them does not have facilities in their building,and the other does. In that case wouldn't it be natural for them to share laundry responsibilities simply as a matter of convienience?
Also, love Dora's reaction in Panel three.
-
where did PenPen's glasses disappear to after panel 2?
-

Beat me by this much, RefD!
-
After seeing Panel 3, I had to go straight to YouTube and watch the video for Black Hole Sun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWeW_8ljmCM).
-
Aaaaalllllrighty then, raise your hand if panels 3 and 4 will haunt you for at least the next 24 hours.
*raises hand*
-
Why? IS she too strong, intelligent, and fiercely independant to help out with normal chores now?
Indeed. Its not like Marty is sitting around on the couch in a stained wife beater, bottle of Coors in hand, watching NASCAR while Dora frets around in an oversized Brooks & Dunn t-shirt, barefooted and fixing her man a steakum sammich.
Edit: Craziness in panel five would make a great shirt/print.
-
Hey, the new comic's up.
...
...
....?
....!
...ahhrrggg!
Well, Jeph can just rock me to sleep tonight. As if I'm getting any. Jesus!
-
Some of my favorite strips are born when Jeph goes into fucked-up surrealism. Keep it up.
-
Dora's Face = ROFL
-
Jeph's been at the whacky baccy again :D
Seriously though, that had me laffin' me head off!! :evil:
-
Oh god that pun was as terrifying as panels 3 and 4.
-
Jeph is going off the deep end.
And I love it.
-
At first I was all like OH JESUS SHIT WHAT THE FUCK OH GOD!!!!
Then I scrolled down some and laughed.
-
By the sweet ghost of Billy Mays, I will be seeing that third panel a lot in my nightmares! That is known.
-
In before somebody appropriates panel 3 or part of it as their forum avatar.
because seriously, you know it's going to happen.
-
By the sweet ghost of Billy Mays...
That is my new favorite saying, I award you three internets.
-
its never stated that Marten doesn't take turns doing this stuff too.
Like this (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=187) & this (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1053), for instance?
But I can imagine Dora kidnapping his hoodie to wash if it smells too much.
-
I'm hoping that all of the comics start being like the latest one.
-
...ooookay.
My only question is, what happened to her glasses? o_o
-
Jeph did say once that none of the characters are close to being grown up enough to make a marriage work.
Given the people I've known in real life who didn't let that stop them, it would be pretty realistic if Marten and Dora rushed into it only to have everything end in flames a couple years later.
-
Okay fine you got me I lol'd
-
where did PenPen's glasses disappear to after panel 2?
and
Beat me by this much, RefD!
and
...ooookay.

A girl's head pops off and out come faeries, hearts, stars, rainbows and a miniature fucking pterippus and the glasses are what you people notice!?!?!?!?!?
-
Every time I look at panel five it gets more and more awesome.
-
Is it bad that my first thought when the comic loaded was "ooh, yay, rainbow!"??
-
Thanks Jeph, this one made me laugh. Dora's facial expressions are the best part.
-
Amount of QC characters to have displayed a smile that will give you nightmares: 2 (two).
Oh, hey, that reminds me, can anyone look up the strip with Faye's crazy smirk? I have a nice idea.
-
A "freaky smiles of the girl of QC" calendar?
-
The single most disturbing QC strip, ever. :-o
-

Why? IS she too strong, intelligent, and fiercely independant to help out with normal chores now?
It's not that she wouldn't ever help out with chores, it's just that they don't live together, so it seems bizarre that she'd do his laundry unless she was a real push-over. It'd be different if they lived together but, as it is, it just seems a bit strange.
But, it's just a comic, so whatever. No worries. :mrgreen:

Well, obviously I noticed the explosion of what little girls are made of, but I kept looking at it because something APART from that looked off, and I noticed her glasses had disappeared even before the top half of her skull popped off. *shrugs*
Something tells me that the "OMGWTFBBQ! FAERIES RAINBOW SPAZZ!" response is a bit too obvious to mention.
-
Thanks Jeph, this one made me laugh. Dora's facial expressions are the best part.
Jeph also did well with Penelope's "dreamy, far-away" look in panels 1 and 2.
-
Absurdly nonsensical stuff is always a winner in my book, but the last panel somehow contains the cutest most gleeful look seen on any QC-character's face so far imho. Daybrightening.
-

If we count Hannelore (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1399), that makes it three.

I didn't count Faye. That was just snark, not nightmare.
A "freaky smiles of the girl of QC" calendar?
Exactly!
-
Whats up taking 5 minutes to mess with the comic?

I love how the only one without the creepy Penny smile is...Penny.

I didn't count Faye. That was just snark, not nightmare.
I dunno... I can't retrieve it right now, but wasn't there a time when Dora found Faye was going too far in terms of sass and asked her to be nicer to the patrons, to which she "complied" by welcoming them with a horribly creepy smile?
-
This one:
Horrible Rictus (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1215)
-
Hanners has the best creepy smile ever.
-
...
lolwut
-
Your Latin-to-English dictionary obviously doesn't feel the need to decline its nouns.
It merely declined to do so.
-
rainbows, faeries, hearts, and a frelling pegacorn pop out, but no kittens?!
-
If this isn't a decapitation (and that thought's been troubling me ever since I saw this strip, so it cannot), then it can only be Penelope turned phallic symbol. Apparently kittens aren't in her ejaculate. Or Wil's--take your pick.
edit: cannot be. Now it'll all make sense.
-
What.
-
Whats up taking 5 minutes to mess with the comic?
(http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a127/r3an1m4t3d/notfunny.jpg)
They have invaded!!!

I thought Wil wore glasses? Must have gotten contacts or maybe I'm wrong.

"Number", not "Amount". Amount is for things you can't count.
Wow, Sven looks a lot younger and very hung over or underslept.
-
Wil looks like a giddy little school girl in the first half of frame two....it's kind of awkward..but great comic none the less :)
-
OK... I don't particularly like Wil and I literally haven't had a single "aw" moment in this comic, ever (despite enjoying it greatly)... but this kinda did it. :? I'm a freak. Still, yay!
-
Just why do Dora's pupils/iris keep contracting instead of dilating every time she's pissed/surprised? For humans it's the opposite. So... she's reflexively preparing to shoot lasers or something?
EDIT: fix'd
-
Either you don't read the same webcomic that I do, or you mixed up "dilating" and "contracting".
-
Sven realizes he acted contemptibly. Progress.
-
I love how happy Wil is. Nothing self-conscious or embarrassed. "Visions of Penelope nude in the moonlight."
Hell yes, that's how you do it. Treat that girl right. Wil is my man now.
-
Yes! Here's to Wil teaching Sven the age-old lesson crystallized in the phrase: You're not doing it right.
Not that Bianchi will learn.
-

Because it's funny.
-
Attention Sven:
Suffer, bitch.
-
Sven, stop being a whiny liitle twit and apologize. It ain't gonna go back to the way it was before, but you can then move on.
Oh, Happy Canada Day folks!
-
Heheheheh.
I enjoy Sven's pain.
Oh PS, Will is my new favorite character.

My lame attempt at animating http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1437
Unfortunately I don't have CS4, nor know how to use it, nor have a compy that could probably handle it. I DO however have Windows Movie Maker, GIMP, and a Gif animator. So sorry it's so crude but it just sorta had to be done.

(http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z298/jordinyc/PennyAnimation.gif)
-
Ah, so Sven DOES blame himself for what happened. Interesting.
I find it easier to sympathize with Sven than most people here, I think. Having a history of being something of a lothario myself and having those habits ruin something special when I finally found it, I know how he feels. However, even though I have felt the same self-contempt, I didn't wallow in it as long as he has. Sure it is still there to some degree, but I have been trying to change and grow from the experience rather than just feeling sorry for myself.
I can sympathize, but the boy needs to "sack up" as they say.
-
Either you don't read the same webcomic that I do, or you mixed up "dilating" and "contracting".
ugh DAMMIT. I mixed those up as always.
-
Have to run off to work (curses!) but wasn't Sven a blond earlier? What's up with him dying his hair brown to match Faye's?

How about it Jeph? Occasional animated strip please? :)
-

In the last comic with Sven and Wil, it was the same colour: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1259
-
Sven has had brown hair since his very first appearance in the comic.
-
Sven has had brown hair since his very first appearance in the comic.
i agree that his hair has been brown since the beginning, but i think in the beginning it was sliiiightly lighter.
i wish sven would just tell faye he's sorry, etc and the two make up. i liked them together <3
-
Fer grud's sake Sven, grow a pair and apologise.
Of course, that would all depend on Faye not killing him five seconds after he walks into CoD.
-
Sven's earliest hair:

Careful, Dora. Faye might throw Sven into it.
-
Yay for take-charge Dora!
I bet she's right.
-
Faye's expression in panel 3.
:3
-
I only remember Faye mentioning she never finished college; I don't recall any mention of her sculpting.
*cue forum member with far more patience than I to comb the archives for a link to the episode in question*
-
Faye, the sculptress (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=277)

Also, notice how happy Faye looked when she made the sculptural cookies in #1130.
-
Faye, the sculptress (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=277)
Hah, and one of the classic Pintsize lines, too! I remember trying to find that one before without luck.
-
I'm still not fully buying into Sven being crushed by this whole thing, clearly I have no heart.
Today's comic is a good one! I like the direction this is going.
-
I've been looking forward to this storyline ever since Faye mentioned her college major! Of course, it may have had something to do with the fact that I was dating an art major when that particular comic was posted.... Still, I can't wait to see what Jeph has Faye create for the shop!
-
i think it's fitting to her personality that faye's medium was/is abstract metal sculpture...
her art mirrors her perfectly doesn't it?
-
... Faye liked to do what ?
Has this ever been mentioned before ?
By the way, I really hate how extremely rarely Marry Me (http://marryme.keenspot.com/) is updated. Grr. Thats one of the really good Webcomics (I dont know any other like that) and you get an update, like, every half year ? Sigh.
-
I thought that the scultpture was just something Jeph had made up on the spot - it's quite common for writers to do that, but CellticGeek proves us wrong
-
... Faye liked to do what ?

See above.

Same goes for Last Blood (http://lastblood.keenspot.com). I think Bobby Crosby may have a bit too many irons in the fire. Ah, well, at least he has managed so far to update Dreamless (http://dreamless.keenspot.com) with regularity.
-
Faye, the Sculptress! (http://www.minettewalters.co.uk/books/the_sculptress.htm) :-o Shiver! Has anyone else read the novel? Now I have an image stuck in my head of a blood-boltered, dismembered Sven in a bathtub!
-
Fer grud's sake Sven, grow a pair and apologise.
Fer grud's sake indeed.
-
Penny doesn't need to wear glasses. They're clear glass, like Clark Kent's, just to make her look different from her alter ego.
-
I'm still not fully buying into Sven being crushed by this whole thing, clearly I have no heart.
I won't speculate on how you move nutrients, etc. though your body if this is the case, but I do think you're on to something about Sven. From what I saw in 1438, I don't think he's crushed so much as perplexed, perhaps even frustrated: things aren't working out the way they're supposed to. I do think Sven's finally come to the realization that what's happened is in part his fault, which is progress, and I think he's angry and unhappy, yes, but hardly crushed.
Remorse? Have we seen remorse from the Sven? That last 1438 comes close, but not quite. When Sven gets to "what can I do to make this better for Faye," without an "and me" in there, then we can talk remorse.
-
I thought Wil wore glasses? Must have gotten contacts or maybe I'm wrong.
D:
He used to wear glasses.
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1128
-
maybe he broke them during his rough and tumble road trip and simply got used to not having them to see. he's not squinting tho, so i guess that's unlikely.
besides, i'm sure he'd be inclined to do something about his sight by now considering he gets to see penny nude in the moonlight.
-
/pout
I miss Raven.
That's what happens when you read older strips.
-
There was a second mention of Faye doing sculpture in #458.
I miss Raven too.
-
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1130
Apparently this is not Faye's first attempt at abstract art @ Coffee of Doom!
-
A Commission! A Commission!
I wonder if this will bring out the inner Emma Peel in Faye? :D
-
What a thought!
Faye has the brains and the potential for violence, but I don't see her matching Emma Peel's poise.
-
Raven is the new Steve.
Fear not, Raven will return, (eventually.)
-
Perhaps Raven will return with a kick ass mysterious story regarding dominatrix's .
-
I can't see Raven being gone as long as Steve. I bet she's far more fun to write.
Perhaps Raven will return with a kick ass mysterious story regarding dominatrix's .
Fix. The. Apostrophe.

I miss Mieville as well.

The end of the world is nigh !
There is no new comic !
God help us all !
SCNR :-D
-
I can just see Hanners having a panic attack while watching the anime. lol
-
Momo-tan the intermediary
I will say Marigold and Hanners seem to suit each other - They're both as slightly socially awkward as each other in situations like this.
-
AwkwardSPLOSION
-
I could really have used a robot with Momo-tan's social intuition at various points in my life.
-
Yeah.
They look kinda cute together though. I think that Marigold and Hanners are the friends they each need. Should be interesting to see how they get on.
-
That's it, I'm getting a Momo-tan, I don't care how much one costs.
-
I think it can be argued that Momo-tan is the nicest character in QC.
-
And the best adjusted.
-
Good god, the one character to proposition lesbian sex to Hanners has to be Marigold? Talk about fan disservice.
-
why does it have to be sexual? i think it would be very interesting to see how these two interact as friends and grow as characters.
-
Odd Couple, eat your heart out.
-
I haven't known a single
female manga/anime fan who wasn't at least bisexual. She will make a move.
-
Loved today's comic. Yaoi can obviously bring anyone together.
Momo-chan is very sweet.
-
That's Momo-tan to you, kurzon!
-
I love it how Hanners randomly loses the bottom of her lip in 2 of the panels.
No really I do love it though, as inconsistent and unrealistic as it may be I think it's cuter
P.S Cute comic
-
Why does Momo-tan sweat? I would think that an electrical device that leaks fluids would be a bad thing....
-
Why? Quite apart from the existence of non-conductive fluids, such as mineral oil, suited to the task, electronics can be waterproofed. And as long as they aren't powered on or allowed to corrode, most electronics will weather a little water just fine. In fact the recommended procedure for cleaning some keyboards is to stick them in the dishwasher on the cold/rinse cycle then dry them out for re-use.

Well, I saw this coming th emoment I read this comic.
Look, please don't see this as rude, but DON'T, okay! Please do not start some bizarre lesbian ship for these two. The constant squeals of "Hantai" almost ruined both of those characters for me, and now we see the possibility of Hannelore making a new friend (yes FRIEND), and I really don't want to see it ruined by squealing Yaoi-ists.
Good lord people, it's possible for two people of the same gender to be friends without Gay sex being involved. The constant onset of Yaoi fan (usually female) into any fandom can easily ruin that fandom (because suddenly EVERYTHING must be viewed through the yaoi lenses), I can no longer even step onto certain forums, because the rapid overwhelming of other fans by Yaoi-ists has left me with nauseau. Because of this there is nothing, NOTHING, I hate as much in any fandom as non-canon slash, so
PLEASE ....DON'T....START!!!!!

I would agree with you wholeheartedly, but my dear child, this is the internet. Whereever there is the internet, there is Rule 34. And as much as I would love the wierd shippings to stop, someone will do it.
It is inevitable. Everything on the internet has an anus, if you can put it that way.

Um well uh... ...two straight dudes watching hardcore porn together does not make them "Gay". Granted there's a lot of "dude check out her tits" and "oh man i'd totally tap that" and other similar stuff. Until at some point buddy's "like um dude 'skuse me for a minute" and he goes to the bathroom for a few minutes. Then you holler at him "Hey dude just make sure you clean up after yourself" because you totally know what he's doing in there. Asking to watch might be kinda gay so its a no go. Sitting at the door listening to the fap fap fap might be kinda gay so that's a no go. Getting out the video camera and busting in on him doing it is totally awesome. Perfect ammo for the stag party or his wedding reception.
By now your wondering If I speak from experience, well no, not exactly but then again I'll never tell.
-
Hantai is just ridiculous, but I'm sorry, the way Marigold's blushing and dodging in this strip definitely looks other than platonic to me.
-
It's called embarrassment.
-
Yay for more Marigold. And enough with the shipping already! Just enjoy the show!
(Geez, you think they'd have stopped with Xena/Gabrielle and Seven/Janeway...)
-
I think it's just a way to break out of the shell of isolation, no more than that. (If I'm wrong and certain people taking it too far are to be believed, it would certainly make for some strange bedfellows...)
-
Awww! Today's comic was adorableee. I knew Hannelore and Margold would become bff!
-
Hannelore and Marigold hanging out and possibly becoming friends is a pretty neat idea. They have both issues, but completely different ones (Hanners wins on the number of issues, but she seems less socially inept than Marigold).
It could do both of them good if they rub a little on each other.
And I mean that figuratively, you dirty-minded shippers.

thats basically what I see. This is the gateway for Marigold to get out of her isolation. Perhaps it will lead her to joining the group through Hanners.

bicostp beat me to the Awkward Zone joke. Curses, foiled again!

Damn that image isn't available to me at work - are the 2 in pseudo victorian garb?
-
Look, please don't see this as rude, but DON'T, okay! Please do not start some bizarre lesbian ship for these two. The constant squeals of "Hantai" almost ruined both of those characters for me, and now we see the possibility of Hannelore making a new friend (yes FRIEND), and I really don't want to see it ruined by squealing Yaoi-ists.
Good lord people, it's possible for two people of the same gender to be friends without Gay sex being involved. The constant onset of Yaoi fan (usually female) into any fandom can easily ruin that fandom (because suddenly EVERYTHING must be viewed through the yaoi lenses), I can no longer even step onto certain forums, because the rapid overwhelming of other fans by Yaoi-ists has left me with nauseau. Because of this there is nothing, NOTHING, I hate as much in any fandom as non-canon slash, so
PLEASE ....DON'T....START!!!!!
I agree with you completely, but I still want to interject that it would technically be Yuri. Don't ask how I know.
-

No, just the second-to-last panel from today's strip with the "Awkward Zone: Initiated" text from yesterday's uStream warmup sketch added, and the text has a red glow.
I can't draw. :(

Good god, the one character to proposition lesbian sex to Hanners has to be Marigold? Talk about fan disservice.
Well, I saw this coming th emoment I read this comic.

People are going to ship whether you like it or not, and, frankly, how does this affect you in any way? I'm not big on slash, but I don't give shit. You shouldn't either. :roll:
-
Whether or not Marigold and Hanners end up as partners is, in the end, up to the mighty god Jeph. Yes their cute together, and both are a little socially awkward, especially with each other at this moment. (though I think Hanners interaction with the gang has made her a little less awkward than she used to be - her OCD aside), but time will tell whether they end up as just good friends or if their relationship goes further.
Whatever happens, I get the feeling that Hanners is gonna grow a bit more as a character. After all, what better way to get over your own social issues than by helping a more socially awkward that you are come out of her shell?!
-
Did I miss the part where Hannelore became good in social situations? Last I checked, the girl still basically behaves like a five-year-old, and can't even smile at another human being without making a fool of herself. I really don't think it's possible to be more socially awkward than she is. Sure, she can get on well enough with the people who are kind enough to treat her like a child, but try to remember what happens if she's so much as touched, or someone mentions the word sex.

She's been working on it. For example, her tweets about her park struggles.

Marigold and Hannelore watching yaoi together is like the way adolescent boys used to stare at issues of Playboy in groups.

s'all right, neither can I. I can paint minis but generally not freehand.
-

No you didn't. My point is that compared to Marigold at this stage, Hanners is a Rave Kitty.

Hannelore is good enough to make friends. We haven't seen that of Marigold. Yet, anyway.

People are going to ship whether you like it or not, and, frankly, how does this affect you in any way? I'm not big on slash, but I don't give shit. You shouldn't either. :roll:
I explained above. When a new fandom comes up and the Slashers begin rolling in (you'll notice, that slashers will always be among the first fans of any new series/Game/Movie/Book) they will often overwhelm everything! They're less people and more like locusts. Everything that happens, everything that the characters do, must be seen through the lenses of Slash. A good example? An old anime series named Gundam Wing springs to mind.
Back in the days of Toonami, Gundam wing was one of their biggest shows, it gained notiriety for both itself and CN for being the first real Gundam series given mass exposure in the USA. But the thing is, you go anywhere on the net and look for sites or info ont he series (it was several years old at the time it was brought over), and you would be overwhelmed with Yaoi. All 5 main boys were gay and in love with each other, all the main supporting cast were gay and in love with one another (and then of course, one of the boys would get pregnant, don't make me start on that). Non-slashers or people who just wanted info on the series had to create or join sites or webrings that were specifically labeled "non-yaoi" and put up such signs on there own websites.
non-canon yaoi and yuri just upsets me, cause it's clear these people have completely missed whatever the creators were trying to do.
In my opinion, most of these slashers fit into this page well.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MisaimedFandom
I'm sure there are sane and normal slashers out there, but I haven't met any, and they would probably be overwhelmed by their less sane bretheren as well.
-
Marigold looks so horrified in that last panel.
:-(
-
i cannot wait to watch hanners freak out about that 70s bush.

Manx, as with anything like that, there will always be a 'Feeding Frenzy' in the beginning but it does settle down eventually. Slash, whether Yuri or Yaoi has probably been going on for years (the legendary Kirk/Spock slash comes to mind) but the net has allowed it to explode like a Borg invasion.
Eventually, this does settle down and, in some cases, dies away. There is always going to be stuff out there that will make you want to either ask the Author "What the hell were you thinking?!" or even form a lynch mob! (Believe me, I know from personal experience :roll: ), but there is good stuff out there.
Of course, as with all things, it's a matter of taste. I am not a fan of Shonen-Ai/Yaoi, but I am a fan of Shojou-Ai/Yuri (probably stating the obvious here :D ;) ) and I know it's not to everyone's taste. All I can say to that is that you're welcome to your opinion and belief on it, and I would never try to force you to read it - seriously, despite the silly HanTai business (and I have to admit that that did get a little out of hand) - I wouldn't expect you to agree with me about it, just so long as you respected my right to enjoy it.

Hey, I believe that people whould be allowed to make there own decisions, and that includes what your kind of entertainment is, it's when others don't accept my choice of entertainment (Many slashers despise canon pairings, I've noticed, especially if it includes a man and a woman) that I get upset.
As I said, when it comes to in series romance, I usually prefer canon couples (not always, I do have a bit of a crack-shipper in me. for some reason I always liked Naruto/Ino in Naruto), but I can accept others don't feel the same way. I would go one, but i've already stated my feelings on the more maniac slashers above.

Why does Momo-tan sweat? I would think that an electrical device that leaks fluids would be a bad thing....
She sweats because the character type she's emulating sweats. And...
I'm wondering if Momo-tan has tiny nozzles installed in her head to do the 'sweat' effects.
Jeph: "Chibi style AnthroPCs have an internal reservoir full of a viscous, opaque liquid they can exude through their hair follicles in order to simulate the Nervous Anime Sweatdrop. It's kind of gross, actually."
In other words, I totally called that one. A whole month ago.
As for all the shipping, it's been made very clear that Marigold is completely inept, socially. The blushes at this point are nerves and fear. Not that such emotions don't lead to romance, but I think both these two are not quite to that point.
Also, since shippers use couple portmanteaus, they are by definition evil. I know this because couple portmanteaus are the signature of evil, the embodiment of the creeping darkness of ignorance that threatens to overwhelm us all and hurl us into the dreary inept hell-world of Jeet-Djue-Seat. Stop while there's still time.
Anyway,
I love it how Hanners randomly loses the bottom of her lip in 2 of the panels.
I think she's sucking her lips in and out the way Nero Wolfe did when he was working out a case. With Hanners, it's nerves, though.

Look, it's just not realistic for Marigold not to be sexually attracted to Hanners, for the following reasons:
1. Marigold is a regular visitor of 4chan. On 4chan there are traps. It is impossible to look at a hot trap and remain completely heterosexual.
2. She is a fan of Yaoi, as well as anime/manga in general. As I stated earlier, this makes it extremely unlikely for her to be straight.
3. She is viewing yaoi with Hanners. As someone else stated earlier, this is equivlant to two adolescent boys viewing porn together. If they're straight, they're not likely to experiment with each other. If they're not straight, (which, as I've established already, Marigold is astronomically unlikely to be), however, then they are almost certain to sexually experiment.
4. Angus is a horrible, horrible, smarmy dick, so Marigold is seeking comfort in another female. This is likely to lead to sexual activity with her.
5. Hanners can't handle semen, so if she has sex, it's with a girl.
I'm sure there are other factors I'm neglecting to mention, but they all lead to one inevitable conclusion. It would be more likely for a tornado to rip through a junkyard and leave in its wake a fully assembled 747 than for Hanners and Marigold not to make love.

There are SO many holes in that argument it's stunning! You obviously have very litle experience with actual Yaoi fans.
Don't try to inject your hatred over the fact that Angus isn't Sven into this, I'm willing to bet that outside of his issues with her cleanlines, Angus and Marigold are probably friends.
Hannelore's issues are at least partially about cleanliness, and this includes all sex. Where you got the idea it was about male semen over girl mucus, I don't know. But Hanners has shwon the ability to be physically attracted in the past. Can anyone here tell me who to? For the love of God people, Hannelore is attracted to Firemen and Indiana Jones! She's STRAIGHT! Straight as an arrow! She borrowed the Yaoi because it has picturesd of two hot GUYS involved. If it was two hot women, I might agree with you, but it wasn't.
I'm starting to figure out why Jeph hates these forums.
-
Discovering enjoyment in watching guys making out is not likely to overcome Hanner's issues with bodiily fluids. And, frankly, Marigold would need to be disinfected for a month straight before Hanners was even willing to shake her hand.
Nor does watching yaoi turn you into a lesbian. Possibly watching lots of yuri would indicate lesbian tendancies (or that you're twelve, or a guy, or a twelve year-old guy). The people I've encountered who ship yaoi and yuri pairings also seem to ship het pairings - they just think the non-straight pairings are hot.
And it rarely, if ever, appears to have any real correlation with real-world sexual proclivities.
At any rate, Hanners and Marigold don't seem to be giving off yuri vibtes to me, but I guess time will tell.

Suddenly, facepalms.
-
Isn't it possible that they, you know, just jill off together without touching? Maybe with a discreet blanket thrown over their laps? Of course, Hanners would have to bring her own...

Why are so many people so desperate for Hannelore to be gay? Why? What can possibly be gained from this? What possible development can actually be brought about from this? How can this possibly help Hannelore's issues out at all?
Somebody please explain this to me.
-
When Jeph makes a gay character, he doesn't seem to go for misdirection and sly hints. Marten's bosses are good examples, and his bi character was always pretty open about it.
-
probably to prevent stupid fucking arguments on the forums about whether or not such characters are, in fact, gay.

Why are so many people so desperate for Hannelore to be gay?
Me, too. In fact, why does Hannelore have to be sexually active (with a partner) at all? Given what we've seen of her state of, well, development, for lack of a better word, any sexual relation right now would probably be the equivalent of running a train full-out over a three hundred foot deep gorge spanned by a new bridge that's, say, four-fifths finished. The train engine might make it across through momentum and actually land on the rails on the other side, but there's an almighty crash coming if it doesn't. And even if it does make it, there's all the cars it's pulling behind it there to pull it back into said plummet. And what's saddest is this: if you'd wait a little while, the bridge might be finished.
Hanners can wait.
(Hey, somebody wanna create some lyrics for that and set 'em old Jim Steinman tune "Heaven Can Wait"? No? Oh well.)
-
Ugh. WHY is this discussion even necessary? Do we need to discuss whether or not the speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s second, as well?

Because people are veritably shouting from their rooftops that Marigold and Hannelore need to fuck each other.

What we're doing here is nipping another "Hantai" in the bud before it has the chance to fully bloom, and spread its tentacles all over.
-
Because people are veritably shouting from their rooftops that Marigold and Hannelore need to fuck each other.
As I've already established, some things are just true. That being one of them. It's not even an issue, just undeniable reality.
-
I do think Sven's finally come to the realization that what's happened is in part his fault, which is progress, and I think he's angry and unhappy, yes, but hardly crushed.
If not crushed, he's in a pretty deep funk. Lydia's commented on it, and Wil seemed to expect a lot more sociability.
-
Are you people 14 years old or something? I don't see why people think a lesbian relationship is so much more "awesome" than a straight relationship. This view implies that alternate sexualities are not normal. Whether you see that non-normalcy as a positive or a negative, you're still sending out the message that it's different and society should see it that way.
-
I'm not sure what the difference between deep funk and angry and unhappy is, Is it cold, but I won't argue. Just not crushed. (I always thought funk was a stench or George Clinton music. Or both.)
And Zingoleb, if that's true, than you can simply zip it, and it will happen anyway, yes? Hush now and crow later.

Angry, yes. That outburst about Angus was not the reaction of a centered person.
It's beginning to look like he may be angry at himself, which is major emotional progress for Sven.

Well, since Delirium is so convinced that Marigold and Hannelore are DEFINITELY going to get together, let's all just sit back and watch as Jeph makes his decision whether or not to reward the yuri shippers. I for one feel that we (non yuri shippers) will be pleased with the results.
-
@connathan: Well sure, the majority of us are consistently pleased, since we continue to read the comic. :)
It's just that Jeph doesn't like to do fanservice/blatant pandering (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1236) very often. That's all. ;)
And of course the forums are on clampdown mode because it's apparently considered "creepy" for people to ponder various OMGNOTABOO!!!! aspects of fictional characters' lives.
-
I never said that Marigold and Hanners would definitely get together, just that if Jeph didn't do it, it would be not realistic. Like, beyond the little robots running around variety of unrealistic.
@Mr Rose: Too easy.
-
So...it would be unrealistic for Marigold and Hannelore not to sleep together...because...Hannelore is creeped out by semen (stipulated)...Angus is a prick (stipulated)...Marigold, Unwashed Fujoshi, has a fairly good chance of being bi (stipulated...although "extremely" is pushing it, hard)...and they're watching vaguely ecchi anime together (obviously stipulated).
So let's break down your way of thinking.
1. ASSERTION: Marigold is bisexual.
2. ASSERTION: Hannelore is unlikely to have sex with a man in the near future.
3. ASSERTION: Angus is an asshole.
4. ASSERTION: Hannelore and Marigold are watching pretty boys have highly stylized sex.
5. INFERENCE: ???
(All right, I'll be charitable here.)
5. INFERENCE: From 1 and 3, Marigold will likely partner exclusively with women in the near future, because that's how lesbianism works.
6. INFERENCE: From 2, Hannelore will probably become a lesbian, because she's just a wildcat deep down.
7. INFERENCE: From 4, 5, and 6, Hannelore and Marigold will be thinking about sex while watching sex between men (despite having been turned off from men) to the point that their mutual induced lesbianism will be turned upon one another.
8. CONCLUSION: LESBIAN SEX!
Really, in that anime club, did you think it turned into a huge orgy every time the Inevitable Fangirl Posse was left alone?
Okay, let's start with "Hannelore is also not likely to put her face I'm-ending-this-sentence-here-kthnxbai," and "given her taste in manga, she's clearly not that creeped out by semen" (even freaking Gravitation has pile-of-tissues sight gags). Even ignoring that, there's the simple fact that these are not adolescent boys, much less the (admittedly well-grounded) stereotype of adolescent boys you're describing. It's not unreasonable to think they plan to watch this without anything steamy happening. Marigold does, as I've said, seem to have something for Hannelore, but really, it's not that impossible it could just be anxiety. And there is no reason whatsoever to think Hannelore would reciprocate. So keep in mind - this condescending is coming from a semi-shipper!
This seems like a very deniable undeniable reality, really.
-
So...
...how about them Bears?
*snaps fingers and points in one fluid motion*
-
Keep in mind that I am not a shipper. Especially not a Hannigold shipper. In fact, I wish I didn't see it coming. Marigold is frankly not that appealing to me. Too many damn zits/moles on her face, and unkempt hair, fuck no. Hanners can and should do better. Look, please, people, I'm begging for you to stone me as a false prophet, perhaps that will convince some small part of me that maybe it won't come to pass, despite what I know must be.
-
...how about them Bears?
Well, there's no more dangerous animal in America. Somebody somewheres said that. I think.
-
Stephen Colbert said it.
-
What about cows?
They secrete milk, which is the deadliest of the food groups (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=264)
Perhaps for the most egregious cultural missteps, bears will be inadequate and we'll have to use cows instead.
-
To put it simply;
Jeph has introduced a new character called Marigold
Jeph has gone to some trouble and plot action to introduce Marigold to Hanners
Jeph has seen to it that Hanners has a reason to maintain contact with Marigold
Jeph has something in mind for Hanners and Marigold
Now, whether or not this leads to said pair becoming partners, close friends, or winding up as defacto big sisters, is now up to Jeph.
'nuff said.

As fun as it is to speculate, I seriously don't think that anything romantic will happen between Hanners and anyone. What I do think is that Hannelore needs someone she can relate to socially on an equal basis.
Before she started running around with Marten and his gang, she had little or no social interaction. Now, Marten is probably her closest friend right now, but he plays more of a big brother/father-figure than an equal. Likewise with Dora and Faye.
Now Marigold comes along and she has an oppurtunity to have a friendship with someone who she can help, the way Marten and the gang have helped her. Can anyone see Hanners going off on Marten, Faye or Dora the way she went off on Marigold about her room?
So I think that this arc will lead to Marigold being folded into the group through Hanners.
Which will be a good thing, because when Marten and Dora have a baby, and Faye has to move in with Angus, Marigold will need a roommate, and Sven won't be available because he will be left to die lonely and forgotten, having not left the house for the shame of losing Faye, and Penelope will have ridden off into the sunset on the back of Wil's Harley, and Lydia and Tai will have gotten married, and Steve and the girl that asked Marten out will be off somewhere kicking ass and taking names for the US Government and Hanners' mom will be in prison for racketeering and Amanda...

That's a damned good point. Hannelore is close to the same physical age as her current circle (not counting the time she spent in biostasis :-)) but emotionally she's missed some stages of development. She seems childlike sometimes, but is better understood as an adolescent.
Marigold may be her first emotional agemate.

Yes.

Hanners has been to their apartments several times and made only minimal issue of it. It's absolutely irresponsible, disgusting clutter which puts the health of the inhabitants of the rest of the building at risk that presses her berserk button.
EDIT: Aaaaand comic is up. My plan has worked, Marilore has been averted.

There is no new thread for this week ... why is there no new thread for this week ... why oh why oh why oh why ???
My opinion about Manga is the same as of Jamiri: "Manga ? Isnt that some kind of Fish ? I'm doing comics, not cooking !" (Jamiri does Comics, of course - not me. Not sure if it was 100% his statement, but it was something along those lines)
Hehe now translating Jamiri, that would be great. Dunno if english people would get that humor, though - and hes often hard to translate and sometimes very specific german.

"Emotional agemate" that's the phrase I was looking for!

2. She is a fan of Yaoi, as well as anime/manga in general. As I stated earlier, this makes it extremely unlikely for her to be straight.
Huh?
Fans of Yaoi are 99.999%* likely to be straight girls.
Fans of "anime/manga in general" have no particular correlation to sexual orientation differing from the general population.
*Number I just made up.

There are never mods when you need them.
I don't care about whether the characters become gay, straight or whatever... but seriously I have read the word "semen" too many times today on this board. Blargh. I am also starting to understand why Jeph hates the forums.
I think Hanners looks so adorable in the fourth panel. The artwork just gets better and better.
I don't care what the haters say, I'm incredibly amused by Angus.

I'm sorry, but that's just not true. Fans of yaoi are 99% likely to be girls, but maybe, maybe 50% are completely straight. I've been surprised at how many are 100% lesbian. The last time I was in an anime circle (as an undergrad) before not actually outgrowing that shit, there were, I think, two straight male regulars, plus the straight girlfriend of a bisexual member, a smattering of lesbians, and everyone else - about three fifths - was bi. When I was younger, they were all claiming to be straight, but around sixteen, a huge percentage either left or came out. I only have anecdotal evidence, but it definitely looks to me like there's a correlation.
Not that that means anything for Marigold. Even if she does live in Northampton.

I never said that Marigold and Hanners would definitely get together, just that if Jeph didn't do it, it would be not realistic. Like, beyond the little robots running around variety of unrealistic.
@Mr Rose: Too easy.
Hanners can't handle girl fluids any more than guy fluids.
Tongues/mouths freak her out.

FFS hugs freak her out.
"hugging hanners heralds heavy hyperventilation"
Hanners is neither straight, bi nor lesbian. I'm voting for 'more or less asexual'.

If she was bisexual, she would've already hooked up with Tai, who openly flirts with her.

Guys, I know Hanners and Marigold aren't getting together sexually. I was just trying to stir up some fanwank as part of a Xanatos Gambit to get Jeph away from that direction.
-
I have no idea why, and this is pseudorandom, but there's something about Marigold's nose that I like.
Weird.

...y'know, some people call that "trolling."

Trolling depends on the circumstances. I think you'd agree that such circumstances were absent.

I think that if you were to think that you'd be wrong.
