Hannelore is a determined lady, and the place is not exactly packed yet, so there is less chance of a performance anxiety attack, and she will show her routine. Unless it happens that Tai has difficulties ... locating a copy of the soundtrack.

What a feeling!

From Jeph's twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/jephjacques/status/130806470089506816) about an hour ago: "No idea when we'll have power back. No comics, obviously, until we do."  Obviously I hope they get power back in his neighborhood soon, and not just because I'm going through QC withdrawals like I do every weekend.  Hope everyone's staying warm.

So, we got Marten, Faye, Hanners, and a deactivated Pintsize. Wait, where is Winslow?

I propose a week of QC characters in the dark!! Think of the number of combinations this could produce!!

For comic #2046...

1. You know you have been reading this web-comic for a long time when you are not surprised that Hannelore would be in Marten & Faye's apartment.  And sleeping easily. :roll:

2. I also would approve of a "blackout" series of strips starring various duos &/or trios of the QC cast.  Suggestions would include...

 a.) Dora, Raven, Sven (or substitute Tai for Raven)

 b.) Dale, Marigold, Tai (and change Raven for Tai here)  ["GenDale Ikari's" glasses would be an easy draw, I suppose]

 c.) Penelope, Pizza Girl, Wil(?) [Penelope: "She's right here in front of you, damn it!  For god's sake, someone get a flashlight!"]

 d.) Momo, Pintsize, Winslow

 e.) Steve, Cosette, & ???

 f.) Randy, Shelby, Yelling Bird

(just noticed I lost the last bit of my initial post, reposting the rest..sort of)

3. I also agree with Is it cold in here?, Jeph is indeed a trooper to put out a comic even with snow and blackout.  Makes me very appreciative of the effort he puts into QC.  Would that I could afford to splurge upon more QC merchandise (besides the QC Volume 1 & 2 I have).  But I would suggest patronizing the QC store for those who also appreciate Jeph's dedication to his craft and have not yet bought their own QC volumes.

4. This also gives Jeph the right to tell future generation web-comics how, "back in his day, he had to trudge through snow, and had no electricity or internet connection...and he still managed to put out a web-comic on his own schedule!"

5. @Andy147...  I just looked at #2046 again seeing your post.  I think Hanners' "zzz's" are actually upside down 222's.  But that could be a work-weary misinterpretation rather than an Archive Jockey observation :psyduck: .  Plus Jeph did this strip at someone else's house & via his laptop rather than his standard array, I believe.

Jeph's already done Dora and Marten in the dark, presumably with Dora wearing a strap-on. Can't find it, though.

From the position of their eyes, it looks like they are all sitting together in a row, likely on Marten and Faye's couch. If Hanners is sleeping curled up on her side with her feet towards Faye, it would be easy to kick her in the upper chest upon waking.

That's just my $0.02   :psyduck:

It's not bad compared to other fandoms.  I was just reading the other day about the fandom around the show Supernatural.  The more wackadoo fans of that show are convinced the two male leads are a couple, and that the recent announcement of the wife of the one being pregnant is horrible, because they're bringing a poor, innocent child into their deception.  If there's anyone at that level of nuttiness about QC they sure don't hang around here.

I didn't think there was room on the couch for Hanners to curl up like that vettechinohio, especially with all three of them on there, so I was assuming she was sitting slouched with her head back and feet on the floor.

Either that SCW, or the Mods have a radar against that sort and bounce 'em before we notice - or care.    :-D

And of course post lots- and lots of fanfiction about it. *checks fanfiction.net* 43,700 stories and counting. There's so much the brothers found some in universe and commented on how creepy it was that people were shipping them together.

I didn't think there was room on the couch for Hanners to curl up like that vettechinohio
I Googled that and only got results for "vet tech in Ohio", so what are you talking about?

All that means is that there's more that has to be eaten before it spoils...
Not if the fridge is on a patio.

That's good for a blizzard but not for a hurricane or an earthquake.
For earthquakes a producing garden is best, for hurricanes MREs.

Yes there are, both stationary desktop ones used by production kitchens and portable novelty battery ones. They've been around since at least the sixties and probably earlier.
But also the possibility of forgetting any sort of opener exists. Which is fine for pull-tab cans but nit much use for soldered ones.

Seconding Akima. I'll pause as we wait for the singularity to occur after such an unlikely event.

Anyway, if you never intend to part with the property and lack relatives who live nearby, it's probably worth investing in. Probably even more worthwhile to get one if you own a property that's isolated from neighbors, like a ranch or forest cabin.

All that means is that there's more that has to be eaten before it spoils... No power, remember?
Obviously a diesel generator is the answer. Expensive though.

Portable generators seem to have gotten a bit more popular in North America in recent years with folks into emergency preparedness.  They're dangerous if not used properly however.  Using them indoors can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, and people unfortunately do that.

As far as the guest strips go I wonder if Jeph didn't have some on hold already in case of emergency.  Of course the artists would either have to have a copy they could send him, or he'd have to have them stored someplace besides his main computer.

Based on Twitter, he put out a call for guest strips.

Also, regarding diesel generators, if I ever get around to building a house, I want to do a setup based on a Lister CS engine. 650 RPM, 6 hp, for the normal 6/1 single-cylinder. Quite a relaxing, quiet, thump thump thump.

Oh, and the engines are a good 700+ pounds. But, they're designed to run for months on end.

But also the possibility of forgetting any sort of opener exists. Which is fine for pull-tab cans but nit much use for soldered ones.

If everything else fails, most of us own a screwdriver and a hammer. Not the recommended solution, but if you're hungry...
I've used a corkscrew before. Yes, I had a corkscrew and no can opener. No, I don't think my priorities are messed up.

My favorites are the ones which run on a mix of natural gas and diesel. In a hurricane you can use your house's gas supply and a few percent diesel. In an earthquake with the gas off you can run 100% diesel.

*Really* expensive though.

Probably one of the best of the plebian communist cars, and it's based on a 1939 DKW prototype, with the engine enlarged and the rear suspension improved greatly. Oh, and a 1960s body plopped on the frame. On the western side of the wall, lineage of that 1939 DKW prototype goes through about 13 generations or so to the present-day Audi A4.

Panel 3 needs to be poster.
Really? I'm thinking panel 4 would make a pretty interesting poster... a bit creepy out of context though. lol

I'm not sure about "moment of the week" voting, because the MOTW was "Jeph Lost Power, Oh Noes!"

Per year?  I'll never complain about a teacher's salary again...!
I'd agree but I could never stick to it. I work at a charter school, my salary is 30% lower than starting salary at a "real" public school, while our standardized test scores are in the top 10-15 schools in the state.

I hate to be that guy who's all like "so and so genre was so much better before it became popular (read: before you heard about it)"

but seriously, dubstep was so much better before it became popular.

Front and back? Or perhaps the art from 3 on the front, and just Tai's line on the back.

I like that this acronym would logically be pronounced the same as the first two syllables of the full name.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who made that comparison.

Speaking of..., has this comic made the term 'audiophile' sound extremely naughty to anyone else besides me? :evil:

Yes; that one looks pretty fun  :-D It'll definitely be one of the images next week (maybe the second one since there's a lot from last week I wanted to do but didn't since we had such an irregular week)
