Good evening sports fans and welcome to the final of the Beach Rugby Championships in glorious Flavour-vision. Initially your nose may detect a slight prickle as it adjusts to our system, followed by the smell of damp driftwood and heather. From the pitch waft aromas of Vicks and shaving foam. On the touch line we catch the wood fired Japa-dog vendor with the salty, peaty flavour of sweet marinated salmon and hotdogs. With water the aroma of sweet tobacco drifts from the crowd along with half time oranges studded with cloves. After the match you can taste the smoky, ashy delight of our lavender and feta pizza.
Racist grandma lady looks like Velma. :-o
Why is Faye cosplaying as Velma from Scooby Doo doing on the station?
6. I would want to try a "poetic imagery" as well as a "racist-grandma," myself. (If I still drank)Aren't they the same drink, judging by the "all I'm getting"? The differing effects reflecting the drinker rather than the drink, presumably.
Maybe the bot was going to drag him off, but settled for taking his pants instead.
There is someone hanging from one of the ducted-fan killbots in panel one, next to the girl in the orange sweater (the Velma impersonator?). Is this party hijinks or did the bot slap the claws/cuffs on him and is dragging him off to the brig, airlock, agony-booth etc.?It's a tough call on who's abusing whom. My first reaction was the person was 'riding' the HK. But cuffs or chains may be involved...
4. Poor right-side H-K hover-droid, so expressively dejected. Perhaps we will see them serving drinks at next week's birthday party.Good call, pendrake, good call.
Also, I'm having problems visually parsing panels 1 and 2. In panel 1 our protagonists appear to be standing in front of a cyan-coloured shaft (which can't be the interior shaft of a support spoke since it's on the outer wall of the ring).
In panel 2 part of the cyan area is overlapping the side viewport with some sort of sawtooth profile - so raised rather than sunken? Also can't figure out the relationship between the orange structural members/trim behind Marigold and Marten.
8. Nice tiny top-hat for the Hunter-Killer hoverbot. Also took me a bit to notice it is also wearing a black bow-tie, hard to see since it is against the space-black field.
9. Hannelore seems to have lost her lipstick.
I presume the dangling is hijinks.
Are the group top left playing with a beach-ball?

Let me join the Thought It Was Velma Brigade. Though honestly, would it surprise anyone here if she truly ended up on the space station?Not in the least. :D

I'm pretty sure it's part of a staircase. What you see in panel 1 is when they're at the top, while panel 2 is when they are going down.

I'm liking the observations!
I'm thinking last panel Hannelore is her noticing that her dad isn't anywhere to be found, cause he hasn't turned up to his own party.
Cue her going to find him at some point during the party (sometime this week) to have some character-development with her dad.
Isn't that him explaining the new drink in panel 3?
Also, re:the question of where the rest of Mystery Inc. is, if Ms. Dinckley is aboard: Norville and the dog are raiding the kitchen, of course, and have found the emotion-inducing variant of the scooby snacks. Fred is trying to make time with the Lt, and will shortly be stuffed out an airlock (no one will care because the Mystery Machine is in the docking spine, being upgraded to AI control) and Daphne is tied up in a storage locker because she's Daphne and that's what she does. Velma has arranged all this because, honestly, she's had enough of those doofi.
Actually DSL, ... Daphne is there, she's just off setting up the 'Toys' in her and Velma's Quarters for the 'After Party Fun. Cause, you know, Daph is Velma's Bitch. :-D.
the only beverage he will be permitted during this process is a horrible energy drink endorsed by steven seagal (http://www.agonybooth.com/agonizer/Steven_Seagal_s_Lightning_Bolt.aspx).I had not heard of this, and of course I had to google it...
I propose Akima's alternative selling of "Seagal" be allowed by the judges in honor of the sheer gloriousness of the quoted sentence.(click to show/hide)
Bring your daughter to work day?
... nah, too mundane ...
Who said Star Trek: The Next Generion would be dead ?
QC has the newest episodes of Geordi LaForge !
Technobabble at its best. :-D

I don't think that Bring Your Daughter To Work day has gone over very well in AI circles, historically speaking... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_(video_game))

(applauds, whistles and stomps feet to annoyance of neighbors)
You ALWAYS suggest that.
?
Regardless, the reference is obvious.
Do you get the feeling no one in the room particularly notices that HannerDad isn't among them?
I consider myself justifiably intimidated by the really tiny orange-haired lady who, despite her size, is determined to hold back that massive, muscly drunk person.Hanner's Dad is also holding that big guy back so she isn't doing it alone. (Though I suspect Dad isn't particularly strong.)
Kudos, nameless background lady with orange hair.
Prior to fixing, this was still valid, albeit in a possibly obnoxious way. If you watched the first link first, it'd spoil what happens. If you watched the second link after the first, it wouldn't spoil anything :laugh:Portal 2 spoilers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVn1oQL9sWgExcuse me, but how can one of your links be spoilery and not the other, given that they both point to the same address?

What if orange-haired peacemaker is an AI in an Idoru chassis? It might be OK with Hannerdad as long as she wasn't a _secret_ robot.It'd be highly amusing if Jeph went with that AND used Hakase's personality as a base (assuming the main characters interact with her at all, and assuming she's the nichijou reference mentioned on his twitter) Imagine, she could deploy her own roll cakes and sweet buns whenever she liked! Shame she would be missing the key to her rocket toe though.
Marigold has *no reason* to resort to that particular complaint -- not when she just spent six hours closeted (literally!) with a fellow otaku. Bonding over anime and munching girl scout cookies, IN SPAAAAAAACE.

In the fourth panel (aka 2b), there's a new expression for him, I believe.I do believe Marten is attempting an R. Lee Ermey face; it does not suit him.
I wonder how he knew Marten's name? And someone calling Marten "Mr. Reed" is amusing.
I had a feeling that at least one of them would get hit on while up there. I mean, some of these people have probably been up there for months. Probably the most isolated you could get. Lotta lonely nights...It's bad enough working all the time in a lab here on Earth and having no life outside of that. I can't imagine what it would be like to do that on a space station.
yup gonna stop now
8. As for what Pokemon has to do with space-time tensor fields? There probably is a pocket monster out there that warps Euclidian space in order to attack from multiple vectors in order to strike at critical stress points.
oh no mar-bear and random space guy are gonna fall in love and get married and she is going to stay in space for ever and have space babies and we will never see her again :psyduck:
I think that Africa is a tad greener than that, even if most of what we can see is Sahara.
"Let's have a reasonable number of babies" is such a wonderfully Hannelore-ish thing to say. ;DAbsolutely. Combined with her final expression it makes this strip.
Wild prediction: Based on her artwork here Hannelore will eventuallky become a webcomic writer/artist. Seriously, webcomics with much cruder art than that have been successful.Agreed. But she'll have to work on the dialog. "...a reasonable number of babies." is just way too romantic!
It took this comic to make it obvious, but Hanners is a huge shipper, isn't she?
Hannercomics are the best thing
The very best
To withstand phobias is her real test.Hannercomics are the best thing
The very best
Like no comic ever was?
Hanners is like a puppy in that last panel. You just wanna pick her up and snuggle.Where's her lip color?

I was going to say that too. It seems desertification is an even bigger problem in the QCverse than it is here. It seems to have taken hold across the entire north Africa region and Arabian peninsula, save for that green spot in Tunisia and the Nile Delta.
Hmmmm
I wonder what would happen if Cartoonist Hanners got together with Writer Marigold?
"Let's have a reasonable number of babies" is such a wonderfully Hannelore-ish thing to say. ;DAbsolutely. Combined with her final expression it makes this strip.
I think it's been established that Hanners likes the idea of romance when other people are involved (like when she was peeking on Marten and Padma making out).
Hanners is like a puppy in that last panel. You just wanna pick her up and snuggle.This is the special appeal of Hanners, you cant even snuggle up with her.
The strip from when I first discovered QC is Hannelore getting more upset over the break-up than Dora (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1805).
Remember folks, panel four WILL be in the Caption Game next week. It just has to.
Welp... We have seen her before go Drill Sergeant on Faye, Marigold and others she sees as not living up to potential. Probably a lot to do with realizing that she herself was once unable to function.
"I'm going to wash my hands. Get me a drink." Outstanding (BTW remember the strips with Hannelore trying bad-tasting drinks?)
Remember folks, panel four WILL be in the Caption Game next week. It just has to.No way. Panel 6 is much, much better.
The humor inherent in Hannelore, of all people, giving male-female interaction advice ...But of course: "Those who can, do..."
Hannelore seems to have a pretty good intellectual grasp of the subject, starting with her lecture to Marten in her first appearance. What she is missing is the perspective that comes with practical experience.
Why does Marigold go to parties without her portable social protocol database?
I believe Momo was prohibited from attending the festivities on the station.
This may beg a question: why?
I believe Momo was prohibited from attending the festivities on the station....That's not how you use 'to beg a question'.
This may beg a question: why?
Oh, come on. I'm a Midwestern American male who speaks Cheesehead on odd days, dere hey.

Darn toot'n. Boy howdy. Ya'll come here watch this now. You dere, hold my beer, eh?
Yah, shoore, you betcha.
So, pretty warm for winter dis year...
It's also an alarming sign of how much of a shut-in Marigold is that Hanners gets to help her in this.
Yah, shoore, you betcha.
So, pretty warm for winter dis year...
Now that's just the wrong state (I'm not in Minne-sooooota). And "pretty warm" only applies for the southern part of WIS - and NOT the part where I live.
I'm south of Rhinelander, thankfully. (Not by much, though.)Yah, shoore, you betcha.

My bad - all those summers in Rhinelander were spent with vacationing Minnesotans...
I'm going to wash my hands. I want a drink waiting for me when I get back, and they better be at LEAST making eye contact.
That may not be a realistic expectation, Hannelore.
