Comic Discussion => QUESTIONABLE CONTENT => Topic started by: Method of Madness on 17 Jul 2011, 00:12
-
So, it's all guest week, so no actual story progression, so is there any need to have a WCDT? :?
Meh, might as well.
-
The weekly thread always happens; there will still be five strips to comment on, after all.
-
I guess. It'll probably be more speculation on next week than discussion of this week, but such is the forum, I suppose.
-
Christopher Baldwin!
-
I am torn between the first two vote options. Both write fantastic comics of their own, and I would love to see both of their takes on QC, but in the end I had to go with Randall. Specifically I'd like to see a comic with Raven and the man with the hat. That seems like it could have endless comic possibilities.
-
I guess there's not as much cross-pollination between here and Penny Arcade as I thought.
I guess I mostly want to see what Mike/Gabe's art would look like for the QC format.
Also, imagine the shitstorm if Mike drew a background character with a dickwolves shirt.
-
It would be easier if this poll allowed more than one vote; I would have added Gabe as well.
-
Can we request one from Phil and Kaja Foglio?
The obvious stars of that strip should be Marigold and Faye....
-
Oh, man, the Foglios. Don't know if we could request one, but just thinking about the manic lushness of their art and writing (and Cheyenne's colors) applied to the QCverse has my head spinning. Betcha they'd set their contribution aboard Hannerdad's space station (named Castle Ellicott). The reappearance of espressosaurus would be the least weird thing that happens. Pintsize as a Jagermonster ...
-
...and we'd find out that Faye is the Other.
-
Danielle Corsetto? Bit obvious I guess.
-
Of the listed ones Randall Munroe was an easy pick for me, as I don't know the other two. Danielle Corsetto would be fine, too, but I would say likely (may be more than a bit obvious?) rather than unlikely. Any chance of Don Lee doing one? I realize that (political) cartoon is a different form of art, but his comments here are more or less guaranteed to make me LOL...
-
Danielle already tweeted that she was doing a guest strip (though she didn't say for which comic, of course).
-
Skewbrow's been peekin'. :lol:
-
Calling the guest comics as from the following;
Sam and Fuzzy
Girls with slingshots
Hijinks ensue
Johnny wander
Something positive
Oh and if your ever a week without your computer, ipods are a fucking pain in the ass to use....
-
Wimp! I've used my iPod Touch (first, later an iPhone) to, for instance, reconfigure a faulty server while on holiday with my brother, repair my boss's email settings while waiting at a gate in Heathrow, and read QC standing in a street in Kandy in Sri Lanka.
-
I also suffered an electrical burn on friday from the laptop charger. Downside, no electrical powers and apparently burns hurt :P. Plusside getting new laptop and i get to go out for drinks tomorrow night with a girl i met at the hospital. So in the nicest possible way i say, kiss my ass :P
-
Where's the Waffles??!
-
If we're going to have a guest week, then instead of the usual waffles, we ought instead to have oatmeal buttermilk pancakes.
-
You know who'd be an interesting surprise guest artist? Giz and Dave from Menage a 3/Eerie Cuties. I like their art style a lot and I think it'd go well with QC.
-
Mohamed Haque (aka Hawk) would be amazing, too. I think his guest art of Pene ... er, Pizza Girl is still somewhere on Jeph's Tumblr.
-
I didn't pick Randall because... I don't know why. I would LOVE to see stickfigure renditions of QC characters :P
But I chose Bill Amend anyway, because Randall got him to do a guest strip for xkcd a while ago, so maybe he could do the same here.
-
Bill Amend's xkcd is actually what made me think of him for this.
-
Well, now, that's an interesting opening to Guest Week. Hanners is learning a lot today.
-
...most muffins have eggs in them...
-
Not hard-boiled ones.
Modified: Also, odd thing to focus on, considering the last row.
-
Yes, but if the reason he wants a muffin with an egg in it is to pretend he doesn't eat eggs, wouldn't getting a muffin be suspicious?
The rest of the jokes make sense! Pintsize putting a camera in the bathroom is just him being himself, and/or Chuck Berry.
-
He could probably say it was a vegan muffin, I guess?
-
If he's talking about an egg muffin, I assume he means an English muffin; and no, I don't think they have eggs in them, they're yeasted.
I confess it took me a couple of seconds to twig to what was going on in the last strip.
-
Interesting
-
If he's talking about an egg muffin, I assume he means an English muffin; and no, I don't think they have eggs in them, they're yeasted.
Kind of the point of the conversation is that no, he's not asking for an English muffin as one might expect, but rather an actual muffin with an egg hidden in it.
-
Even without guest strips, there is plenty of Jeph-materiel to talk about...

[Jeph]: "Sketch-card for SDCC. Maripowergirl, Superhanners, Catdora, and Batpintsize."
1. Power Girl Marigold is awesome.
2. Catwoman Dora is so very, very appropriate.
3. Bat...mite(?) Pintsize?
4. While I 'get' that Supergirl Hanners is appropriate, as being "from space" as kryptonians are, I think Harley Quinn Hannelore might have been better, because "Hanners Quinn" is just so crazy... :wink:
5. What would the rest of the QC cast be...?

On 3: I put forward "Batsize"... and HannerQuinn.
As for the rest of the cast... sadly I'm not very good with comic book superheroes... I can't help but drift into cosplay ideas that aren't from comic books at all.
I keep coming back to the idea of Steve as He-man. :P
And Marten could probably pull off a fairly good mild-mannered Clark Kent...
Hmm...
... Clinton as the T-1000.
-
5. I vote for Steve as Gambit, Faye as Poison Ivy appeals to me (edit: on second thought Penelope might be better...), and Sven as Mr. Freeze. It's kind of hard coming up with superheros/villains for them :/
-
5. What would the rest of the QC cast be...?
Keeping it in the DC side of comics, my choices would be, just based on looks and not in personality (so, more a cosplay or a fan-art thing than a proper fan-fiction):
Marten: Riddler
Faye: Darkseid (ok, this is more about personality than just appearance... but Darkseid wears hotpants, so...)
Tai: Robin
Raven: Zatanna
Angus, Sven, Steve... not sure about these...
-
5. I vote for Steve as Gambit, Faye as Poison Ivy appeals to me (edit: on second thought Penelope might be better...), and Sven as Mr. Freeze. It's kind of hard coming up with superheros/villains for them :/
Man, yeah. I was thinking of Sven as Mr. Freeze too, the animated-series one. Slim and tall. Then I started thinking of Arnold Schwarzennegger and all went to hell.

Kind of the point of the conversation is that no, he's not asking for an English muffin as one might expect, but rather an actual muffin with an egg hidden in it.
I thought he meant something more mundane when he said "No, not an egg mcmuffin" - that he specifically wanted a boiled egg, not a fried egg.
I realise that doesn't really make sense, but neither does hiding an egg inside a product that already contains egg. :-P
Warning - while you were typing an entire new species has evolved. You may wish to review your post.
Gaaaaah. Give me a word in edgewise, people.

I almost died at that :laugh: Animated series all the way. My thoughts on that are he's not been the same since Faye broke him.

Screw DC, I wanna see the QC cast as Anime Characters!

Faye: GL Guy Gardner ver.Rule 63 (except not ginger and considerably nicer)
Angus: Booster Gold
Sven: Deadshot (his glare never misses, except that one time he used it on Hanners and that one time he used it on Marigold)
Marten: Ted Kord
Tai: Cassandra Cain or Tim Drake

Am I the only cooking freak around who did try to imagine how to actually nest a raw egg into an uncooked muffin (without its shell, of course, you smartasses)? And wonders if it would be actually interesting, culinary speaking?

After what happened to Ellen, Dora's pretty brave for getting in the water with that dolphin.
(also, thanks SirDudley)
-
Why doesn't the dolphin have eyes?
-
It does, they're just closed.

Hungry.

Not a muffin, but here's how to cook a hardboiled egg inside something. Tasty, too.

-
Dawwwww Hanners as a Cetacean Biologist - Hmmmm, that might work.
As for the other thing,
Raven - Harley Quinn
Faye - Wonder Woman
Dora - Rogue
Hanners - Terra
-
What is Faye wearing?
-
I think a Faye version of Wonder Woman would be tight slack with a broad leather unibelts, combat boots, the famous strapless top and a leather jacket. :-D
-
D##n you, Willis!
-
Quadpound him indeed, I guess.

"My Everest" looking at Faye's butt: obviously Hanners likes big butts and she cannot lie! :angel: :laugh:

Dora becomes a bright shade of red? :-D

Willis' Dora really, REALLY looks like Marten. And although I'd rather not, his Hanners makes me think of Joyce as seen in DoA.

mmmm....those sound good. make me think of pankeggs. :-D
....i tried to find a decent description/recipe/video but no one makes them the way i remember making them! (Start making fried egg until it's almost fully cooked, then pour pancake batter on top. NOM NOM NOM)
-
That sounds good, too. I usually park a fried egg on top of a pancake or two, or a ... Waffle.
-

Sven knows (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1072) what she's talkin' about
-
Hannelore looks like Raven's question aged her twenty years.
-
So, now we have three Butts Disease victims: Jeph, Dave Willis and now Hanners. Then again, it IS Faye's butt, so Hanners' reaction is completely understandable.
Although, random geographical question: Is Everest still the tallest mountain in the world? Or did it swap places again with K2 like it does every so often?
-
Here's the Straight Dope:
http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1467/which-is-taller-mt-everest-or-k2
(no mention of Faye's rear end ... is it, for Hanners in Willisland, the impossible dream, the unreachable star, that to be conquered simply because it's ... there?)
-

I see. Thanks for clearing that up.
Bonus points for including a "Man of La Mancha" nod.
-
I do not understand the joke.
-
Raven - Harley Quinn
Faye - Wonder Woman
Dora - Rouge
Hanners - Terra
Dora becomes a bright shade of red? :-D
Typos R Us :-P
-
1. It would have to be Faye as X-Men's Rogue since she has the rack and southern for it. ("rouge" Rogue? get it...? ... ... *crickets & tumbleweed* ... *lowers head and slinks off-stage*)
2. Marten as Martian Manhunter, being such an under-rated but steady & staple character of the DCUniverse.
3. Penelope, besides being Pizza Girl, would probably make a better Supergirl than Hannelore. (Harley / "Hanners" Quinn for her, as I remarked earlier)
4. Raven would have to be Starfire, the nice girl from outer space with an awesome rack.
-
But would that make Cosette Raven?
-
I feel like there's a perverted joke or pun involving pintsize as a supervillain, but I lack the necessary comic book nerdom. All I turn up in my file for perverted comic files is spiderman spiderweb euphoria fluid.
-
Best I've got would be that Pintsize would try to reconfigure his chassis, there would be an accident, and he would become an open-source reality-altering supervillain named Mxyzpt410x-lk.
No one would know the difference.
Also, Cosette as Squirrel Girl.
Hanners as the latest incarnation of Terra, because she can make dirt her bitch.
EDIT: Aaaaaaand never mind. Dave Kellett shows us Hanners in her element.
-
Welp, it's never happened to me before, and maybe it doesn't count because it's a guest strip, but I completely thought that was Marten until my second read-through.
-

That's funny - I did too, until I read your comment. And went back to the comic. Even then, it's only really the earring that gave it away.
Still, I've often thought they look kinda similar to each other.

Damn, you're right! I also thought it was Marten.
But the tits, the earrings!

-
If Optimus Prime were to walk into CoD, it wouldn't surprise me.
I wonder if he prefers Latte or Cappuccino?
-
I keep giggling at Hanner's face in the fourth panel. :laugh:
-
I would have NEVER guessed a guest strip from Dave Kellett. That's it, Jeph's going Hollywood on us now. Pretty soon, he'll be hitting up Mrs. Kellett for a script idea for a new sitcom, "Hipster City".
-
Here's another one who thought it was Marten. The reaction in the first panel ... Yeah, that's my excuse.
-
the less feminine Dora ever drawn... :oops:
-
The ultimate in Dora and Marten looking alike (http://www.questionablecontent.net/992).
-
Cute strip. Could have done without the last panel though - it'd have been better ending at Dorten's mind quietly breaking.
The ultimate in Dora and Marten looking alike (http://www.questionablecontent.net/992).
Nope. (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=955)
-
Hanners being friends with a defense network satellite. This does not surprise me in the least. What does make me go :psyduck: is how said satellite survived atmospheric reentry completely intact.
-
He just took the transport down like anyone else visiting the station. Either that or he hitched a ride back on STS-135.
-
Yes but how will he get back up? Now that the current american government administration has effectively killed NASA...? :-(
-
HannerDad has his ways of getting up there himself, right?
I imagine him to be something of a cross between Richard Branson, Bill Gates and T. Boone Pickett, with a bit of Mad Scientist thrown in.
He probably has his own version of SpaceShipOne that he developed as an easier way of getting up and down from his station - which I would have to believe is probably lower in Earth orbit than the ISS.
-
Naaah
He's the inventor of the Transporter :-D
-
Space Elevator. Of course, then, you don't NEED satellites.
-
Unless the Space Elevator is how he gets things to the station in the first place.
-
COMIC. Nice picture, but nothing happens!
But Dale and Marigold are peaceful together (who knows what duelling is going on on their screens, though).
-
No Marten?
-
He's not one to abandon his new friends at tSB just like that.
-
In spite of the lack of jokes or action, this is easily my favourite of the week. All the details, from the facial expressions, to the sword and the business cards, are terrific.
But Dale and Marigold are peaceful together (who knows what duelling is going on on their screens, though).
By the expression on Marigold's face, I'd say it's not going well for her. :-)
-
*opens thread, opens reply tab* Warning - while you were reading 2 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.
I haven't written anything yet!
I guess this removes my right to complain about people copying the warning message in the future, though.
Anyway, is the the first shot where we've been able to see the whole of COD in one shot? For some reason I thought it was wider. Also, that door is to the bathroom since people have exited/entered it directly from the main shop, so where is the door to the basement? In the bathroom?
I instantly root for Dale in this scene, if only because he's using a mug while Marigold has a disposable cup. Though I recall some calculations somewhere of the recourse use of a mug versus that of a disposable cup that was dis favorable to the mug. Eh, I prefer Alliance anyway. They have night elf mohawks.
I think I'm rambling, must sleep.

Is that the Malaysian battle spatula behind Faye?
-
Yes but how will he get back up? Now that the current american government administration has effectively killed NASA...? :-(
As a resident of Southern California living 40 miles from JPL (and a regular attendee of their annual open house), I have a strong desire for our computer monitor to transmit the matter of my hands. NASA is not manned spaceflight. NASA is not even mostly manned spaceflight. It is only a portion of the many many things they do, including that aerospace bit (read: better aircraft); in the case of JPL, all our robotic missions.
And frankly, I agree with the decision. The manned program shot itself in the foot when it started and canceled three viable replacements for the shuttle for 15 years and then wasted 4 years on the completely unimaginative constellation program (in the details, not the mission statement). It's also been lackluster about cutting the cost per pound and inhibited the growth of commercial spaceflight with an overly paternal attitude. It was a bit doomed from the start with the wildly underestimated cost of turnaround, spiraling complexity, and vast reductions in scope that radically altered what would have been more favorable economy of scale (15 orbiters would have been much cheaper per shuttle per flight before it got scaled back to 4).
We need people up there, performing experiments, no question. But the shuttle just wasn't very good at that. We need to get cargo into space. The shuttle was okay at that. And most of all, we need to get more that 240 miles away from this rock. The shuttle couldn't do that period. We had a 7 year delay between Apollo and the shuttle, remember, and I'm pretty sure NASA did some stuff during that time.
He probably has his own version of SpaceShipOne that he developed as an easier way of getting up and down from his station - which I would have to believe is probably lower in Earth orbit than the ISS.
The lower the orbit the more debris to contend with, though. I'll bet it's at a Lagrange point, and he uses a red Gundam to get to it.
Isn't the toilet meant to be a partitioned-off inset corner rather than a separate room?
Not in any cafe that I know of. People kinda like nice solid walls between crapcans and places with food. And the door is set into a wall every time we've seen it, anyway.
The problem it seems was that I had just woken up; I feel more coherent now.
-

I think it's more likely to be the 9-iron to be used on Angus (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1723) :police:

I had the same line of thoughts... coincidence? :psyduck:

That's what she said.
...sorry. Like Tova said, it's quiet in here and I'm getting bored (I'm also exhausted at the moment. And I don't like abbreviating "at the moment" to "atm," because that just makes me think of cash machines.)

Hanners appears to be taking dictation from the dolphin. Well, why not? We know she speaks GOO and Morse Code. Possibly there were dolphins on the space-station where she grew up.
Yes but how will he get back up? Now that the current american government administration has effectively killed NASA...? :-(
Even if the US government had killed NASA (which they haven't) there are other options. The Russians for a start, but somehow I imagine Hanners' father having his own launch facility using something way cooler than thirty-plus-year-old technology. The Space Shuttle made its first orbital flight before I was born! Before the first IBM PC was launched! Before the ancestors of the internet were anything more than scientists' toys, and well before the World Wide Web! Before the USA's first commercial cellular phone network was rolled out! Think about that for a moment. It's a tribute to the design, but also to bureaucratic stagnation.
-
Interesting to see an overhead shot. It's obviously not 100% accurate, with things like the lack of the big blackboard, and not being as wide (or is that deep?) as the comics implied. But interesting. I always thought the bathroom door was on the opposite side of the room. Not sure if that's my mistake or the guest artist's. Perhaps we're both right, and that's actually the basement door. My understanding of the layout was always a bit sketchy, as Jeph does not normally treat us to this kind of angle.
Also, I get the feeling that Dora has the sword ready to leap in if Dale and Marigold start PvPing IRL.
-
Before Akima beats me to it I feel the need to point out that the space elevator won't help HannerDad much, if he is at a low orbit. The task of matching velocities would still need quite a bit of thrust. Ok, she replied on that topic...

Well, space-travel is a massive project. There are the obvious benefits to having a network of satellites. May be there are also benefits to having manned space stations, but the costs for that are also very high. If China and/or Japan decides to join in the space race and, say, declare a target of building a manned Moon base, then the Americans could be relied upon taking that as a challenge. All the while I would be admiring the scale of the engineering effort and twiddling my thumbs. But with no national pride at stake nor any relatively short term economic advantages in sight I'm a bit pessimistic.
=====
I agree not much to talk about this week. But...
Are Marigold and Dale PvPing there? I think that round one is due some time soon. I really don't know what I would like the outcome of their duel to be. At the moment I'm rooting for a power outage at the moment they are both down to one hitpoint (sorry, I only know the old Angband, where having only one hitpoint remaining means that you should take immediate effort to 'heal' yourself by whatever medical or magical means you have at hand - an antbite could kill you at that point - WoW players are welcome to educate me here). With that outcome they would both think that they had a lucky escape, and mutual respect might emerge.
-
I'm loving the different guest artists this week. Jeph usually brings in quality art folks, and this week's no exception.
-
Is that the Malaysian battle spatula behind Faye?
(doesn't look up, hopes no one commented)
Nope. It's the 9-iron.
(looks up)
Dang.
Anyways: I kinda suspected the shop was that narrow, but I always thought that the entrance to the back room was on the same wall as the blackboard and specials board. Of course, Jeph has never been all that great about keeping the same floorplan for the places in his comic. Marten and Faye's apartment seems to have a moving bathroom, or so it seems.
-
Slooooooow week.... So glad I didn't miss anything :-D :-P
-
Nice artwork, but Faye and Marigold look like twins in this scene. The exact same face angle isn't helping things.
-

Big blackboard is there next to the hot drinks sign, I think the perceived depth is a "camera trick" which makes it seem that way, intentionally or otherwise, but in reviewing some of the past strips around 1900-1925ish, the shop does seem fairly narrow. In that same group of strips there is a door on the right side of the back wall, same as this drawing. I think Jeph should do a shot like this and sell a print of it. I'd probably hang that on my wall.
-
Agreed. I've already made this one my new wallpaper; if Jeph created an official one I'd buy it right quick.
-
Is that a pineapple on Dale's notebook? Did I miss that joke before? (I know it from somewhere else, maybe I'm just seeing things.)
-
I think the icon on his laptop is more this symbol (http://www.wowwiki.com/Alliance). Which fits as he is a WoW player.
-
I see the broadsword, but where's the Lattesaurus? The Frappuchinodon? ... The cappuccino machine shaped like a dinosaur Faye made.
Anyone making book on what's being run/played on those two laptops?
-
I see the resemblance. It kind of looks like that crest/shield indeed (which I know, actually. Weird thing I didn't think of that at all, thank you).
-
Beautiful. Every character is focused on his or her's own preoccupation.
-

I'm pretty sure its WoW they're playing.
-
Just one more day for one of the three poll artists to make an appearance. I'm not hopeful :|
-
While we're overanalyzing, the pictured shop doesn't have enough seats to allow revenue for four employees, even if some of them are part-time.
-
But there are paper cups, so they have a take-away trade as well (in fact, I think recall someone saying that Angus used to tip his coffee away when he left).
-
I always thought the bathroom door was on the opposite side of the room. Not sure if that's my mistake or the guest artist's. Perhaps we're both right, and that's actually the basement door.
this strip's (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1936) forth panel should answer your doubts :angel:
-
Isn't most of the business of most coffee places from to go business?
-
Well, today was a slow breather image. Let's hope the week ends on a high and grand note.
-
Nice artwork, but Faye and Marigold look like twins in this scene. The exact same face angle isn't helping things.
I hope you've noticed that Dora and Marten's faces are interchangeable in many of the comics.
-

Yes, in 710.
-

If the place just does coffee and maybe a few pastries, rather than being a full-blown café that does lunch and whatnot - yes, I believe so.
I'm not a coffee drinker myself, mind ...
-
Not in any cafe that I know of. People kinda like nice solid walls between crapcans and places with food. And the door is set into a wall every time we've seen it, anyway.
Fair enough.
There ARE two doors in the back wall though: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1720
And the counter comes down past the blackboard, not the other way around: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1944
-
The ultimate in Dora and Marten looking alike (http://www.questionablecontent.net/992).
That is totally the strip I thought of.
"Join us, Faye."
"Become one with The Communion. Join our Sacred Coalescence."
-
I see the door in that first one you linked, but I see no perspective on the blackboard as it relates to the counter. All I see from that comic is that neither the counter nor the blackboard extend to the front wall. Anyway, I'm done overanalyzing this comic. I still think it's fantastic.
-
Just one more day for one of the three poll artists to make an appearance. I'm not hopeful :|
I'm still hoping for Chris Baldwin, but it's a long shot.
-
That's a cool overhead shot.
I wonder if Marigold and Dale are competing against each other
Dora must have the Broadsword out to make sure they don't get too feisty.
-
Yes, I'm geeky enough that I figured out a floorplan for CoD. And yes, I think the comic is wrong - there's supposed to be a second door on the back wall to the storeroom and to the alley in back (not to mention down to the basement where Dora does her roasting).
(http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/1977/coffeeofdoomlayout.th.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/16/coffeeofdoomlayout.png/)
And yes, I'm even more geeky in that I've got a floorplan of Marten and Dora's apartment, too:

We have all been out-geeked.
Those belong on the wiki.
-
I am not worthy.
edit: holy cow, smbc... eeek. I haven't even read it yet.
Here we go.
edit 2: I can't help but notice that Hanners is very popular amongst the guest cartoonists so far. One could be mistaken for believing that she is the cartoon's protagonist...
-
Damn it, Pintsize, you are not being a chill bro!

I feel like an idiot for asking this, I'm technologically competent but I've never used Twitter at all; how do I find the cosplay pictures Jeph mentioned in the news post? I went to his twitter but didn't see anything that looked like a picture or link to one

you had to look for these links way back (9 hours ago) in the twits list... :wink:

Hanners: http://yfrog.com/kkau3jvj

Those photos are almost freakishly good.
-
The one girl has Hanners down pat. Now she only needs that Winslow "iPillow" from a few years back.
Pizza Girl was great, but she forgot the mask. No biggie, since she was really playing Penelope as Pizza Girl...
-
WOOHOO Zach Weiner! The other webcartoonist I want to fellate!
Just kidding!
I want to fellate all of them.
Even the women.
Anyway, awesome strip.
-
Woohoo! Double dose of Zach Weiner today! :-D
He just couldn't resist making a boner joke, could he?

Well with a name like Weiner, what else is he going to do? :roll: :lol:

Saved the best comic for Friday, IMO.
Honestly, I wish QC would touch on the robots some. You'd think in a world with robots who can walk/talk we'd be seeing them more around town. Especially since everyone seems to be able to afford one. They would be doing the majority of the jobs that the QC cast currently does.
-
Still two more chances for the poll artists!
-
Nice artwork, but Faye and Marigold look like twins in this scene. The exact same face angle isn't helping things.

Seriously...what I've taken away from guest strip week is that Dora = Marten + (larger) breasts.
-
Would you trust an AnthroPC with a job?

Skynet lives!

Thanks for the new sig. :mrgreen:

I feel a need to comment on the Hanners cosplayer...
EEEeee! Worry hat! So cute! :D

here are the two other photos that fell back a page in the tread:

(maybe we should have a week-independent tread about cosplayers?)
-
I know a LONG while ago we had a poster and his GF dress up as Marten & Dora for Halloween - complete with a cardboard-cutout version of Pintsize.
-
That doesn't bode well for those two, ha.
