Title: WCT: September 7-11, 2009
Post by: ysth on 06 Sep 2009, 17:25
Prediction: Marigold will call Hannelore for help evicting the squirrel.  The squirrel will touch Hannelore's skin, sending her steadily increasing animal phobia (http://twitter.com/HanneloreEC) over the edge.

Actually, she should call Faye. Being a southern girl, she has a natural +2 vs. varmints.

Just don't eat any stew that Faye cooks for the next couple of days after that.

And yes, I do know that I am going to Hell for perpetuating that stereotype.

Not quite. You can get a pretty good gist of it by looking at the ustream (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/qc-show) currently.

Clairvoyant comic comment: D'aww, panel 3.

Yeah, it got dragged down pretty early.  Mainly by the one kid who kept shouting "DOES THE CARPET MATCH THE DRAPES. HURR, HURR, HURR?" *

After everyone started talking about oriental rugs and venetian blinds, he felt obliged to explain what he meant! 

God, it was painful to see.  That's when I left.  Schadenfreude only goes so far! 

* - "HURR"s added by this poster.  I could tell they were there, though.

And I was hoping the conversation had gone better than that...

Oh, c'mon... you saw the conversation with Will!  How well could the whole back alley thing have gone? 

I think that we're into one doozey of an arc.  I've known guys like Sven, livin' the life every teenage boy dreams of.  Emotions never really show up.  Sven knew something was missing before he went into the coffee shop to talk, but know he's starting to see what it is, and I think he's kinda scared. 

He's got those 5 stages of grief to go through for his old life, though, and that should be fun to watch!  He's already been through the denial.  Angry with himself?  Check.  Lashing out at others, too, back at the sledding party.  Let's see... bargaining, he just tried that in the back alley. 

OK, now we're into depression.  That leaves acceptance, but nobody's actually dead yet, so I'm thinking Rom-com, and he tries to win her back.  Hilarity ensues, and with friends like theirs...

On another note, the conversation with Will has left me with Leon Redbone's version of "No Regrets" stuck in my head.  And I can't find it anywhere to get it OUT!

UStream is like live YouTube.

Which means live YouTube comments.

I'm an operator in an IRC channel for a UStream stream, and we found a nice idiot filter - embed the stream on another page, disable the UStream chat, and put a link in the show info to the other page, with a Java client for the new IRC channel.

The idiots can't figure out to click the link to go to the new page. :lol:

I've said it before, and will say it again: Dora's the best person in the strip.

And not because she's sassy again, but because she came by to check on Sven. Jeph's fantastic art (it always amazes me how much emotion he gets into so few lines these days) makes that crystal clear.

Oh, and Carl-E, I think you've got Sven nailed down. But he's slippery, so he may revert back some stages first. I'm not sure he's ready to become the Broom in the Swiffer commercial just yet.

@weirdbeard, I hope you're right. I mean, I know it didn't go well, per se, but I thought there might be little wiggle room. Really its only because I am a sucker for this type of relationship in books/comics. Romcom makes for drama with a healthy amount of snark and hilarity. A nice combination.

As for yesterdays comic, Dora shocks me yet again. I love when we get to see her and Sven together and on their own. They have a sibling dynamic that we don't get to see all that often. Its refreshingly undramatic usually and very sweet. 

I'm wondering if Sven will hatch some kind of plan to get back in Faye's good graces and if Dora will be stupid kind enough to help him.
...I hope she is.

I am unsure it can really be predicted. That is one of the things I like about QC, I can never tell what is going to happen. In that way it is a lot better than a rom-com because in a lot of those you can just tell how everything is going to end up.

I do think that if Faye and Sven get together in a proper relationship that the focus might need to shift a bit. It would be difficult to have the same level of drama around a group involving two couples.

Hilarious comic, but it raises a question in my mind. When we were introduced to Marigold, she was indifferent to sharing her bedroom with feral rats. But a squirrel - essentially a rat with an Afro tail - is relentlessly hounded out of the apartment.

Is a spring-clean by Hannelore and a night out with the gang such a powerfully civilizing experience?
Title: Re: WCT: September 7-11, 2009
Post by: akronnick on 08 Sep 2009, 05:29
She probably was not aware of the rats before, or, was too overwhelmed by the enormity of the cleaning task to take action.

http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1413

Dora points out a rat, but Marigold doesn't seem to think it's important enough to do anything beyond saying "pet rat?". And you'd think if she hated all rodents as much as squirrels, she'd at least clean up enough to chase the rats out.

Maybe she got attacked by a rabid squirrel one time, or something.

You can't count on anything vis-a-vis character sizes.  Jeph draws freehand, and different angles, etc. make the characters look different.  Everyone's boobs keep changing apparent size, too.  Well, at least the girl's boobs do. 

The only thiings you can count on are that Faye will look aerodynamically curvaceous, and Hannelore will be a walking stick (food OCD keeps her from eating a lot). 

And now I'm wondering about Raven, the only other character who was purported to be above average size... in certain areas...

It's also possible that Faye is "really" getting heavier. She seems to have backslid on the emotional progress she was making. Post-Sven, it wouldn't be surprising if she's been raiding the emergency Ben&Jerry's again.

You know, it's been a long time that Dora and Marten have been together, and I thought for a minute they'd be past the "making out at any random opportunity" stage.  Then I remembered - Comic time is not real time.  

How long have they been together, anyway - a couple of weeks/months in comic time?  It seems like a couple of years in real time!  

I'm not gonna archive dive for this, maybe some of you with time on your hands can...  the semester started, mine are full!

Personally, today's comic with Marten going "dang" and not having much to say about Faye, just.... I mean, everyone keeps saying "I miss how QC used to be with Faye and Marten sassing each other", but today REALLY just... shows a good example of how it's changed.

And I want Sven's longer hair back along with the glasses, actually.

Admittedly there are times when I think she overreacts in a big way, but in this case I can see where she's coming from. We've got her brother (who she doesn't always approve of but being her brother she cares for) and her best friend at odds and she's stuck in the middle caring for both. When coming up for a solution, discussion and support of the issue from her boyfriend, and his sole response is "dang" (and I TOTALLY empathize with Marten here - there's nothing you really can say) it's a let down to something you've been trying to sort out.

Dora's got issues, but overall I really like her ^^

But what can you say, really?  It is an issue that you have to just let the involved parties work out on their own.

As to Sven's red eyes: I noticed that, but I thought maybe he has been crying. Secretly. While writing more bad country songs.

I am with the folks hoping for some kind of attempt by Sven to regain Faye's regard. I know I said that last week. I'm just sayin' it again!

Strangely the song that I keep getting in my head, when I read the Sven strips, is "Yesterday" by the Beatles...surely that's somewhat the way he must be feeling right now, when he's not being ribbed by a sister or putting on a brave face for the world.

The "Dang" Alternate was dad-gummed funny. Maybe even dad-blasted funny, dagnabbit.

Music (on my playlists) that says it's 'ovah':
If Love Is A Red Dress (Maria McKee)
In a Lonely Place (The Smithereens)
Occasionally (Melissa Etheridge)
Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' (Journey)

And of course, if I you want to be psycho about it
Can't Stand Losing You (The Police)
Blood and Fire (Indigo Girls)

And that's just the tip of the icy death that ate the Titanic.
Somehow, though, I think "Frozen Love" (Buckingham Nicks) works better for Sven and Faye. I wish Lindsey and Stevie would reissue that.

Hannelore's level of OCD + WoW = much potential amusement, pitiful comedic, and downright scary moments.

I have a cousin who does that all the time (lift his butt up a bit before farting). It's a combination of sharing the aroma and not being coy about farting. Although with Marigold thinking she's by herself... I think it's so it doesn't feel weird coming out if it's a rip-snorter of a fart.

BS!!!
Methane has no recognisable smell , and it almost instantly oxidises to 2H2O + CO2
The smelly thing about farts are sulfurous compounds, such as H2S and by butyric acid.

I think Hanners is afraid of her own bodily functions, or anyone knowing she has them. I mean, she thinks she is pregnant when she throws up - http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1119 and when there is possibility she might have farted she is mortified - http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1299

I imagine when she actually does she has to have a shower and sterilise the whole bathroom.

In my experience, it's a girl thing. Those ladies who've been 'comfortable' enough around me to let one rip (the Great Casualness—FEAR IT) while sitting down have all but one executed this maneuver or simply leaned over in their seat (some men do that one, too, but not the leg lift). The one who did not was rather thin, but I don't know that this was a factor. Silly me, I never asked.

Did ask one of the 'lifters.' She said, "You have to let it out." Which, I suspect, may be one of the core truths of the universe.
