Gotcha on that. We have it fixed.

If by lakes you mean on top of basketball courts, then yeah.

@jephjacques I don't like this brand new concept of QC discussing indie music. It's dangerous and needs to stop before it gets out hand...
Not entirely relevant, but is anyone else not a fan of Claire's random lock of hair that isn't in the ponytail?
I mean, her hair looks fabulous when it's down (as evidenced last week), but with her hair up, I just really don't like how her hair has ... migrated, more or less, you know?
jwhouk, the UK also uses feet and inches.Why?
It's official Martin has gone from quirky guy who likes indie music to hipster douche who thinks he's better than us i hate those guysAlmost 10 years and people still don't get his name right.

I thought it was an interesting take on what one person would consider a fond memory just being a weird / pretentious / boring story to the listener.
I've told enough of those stories in my day...

Yeah, but she asked if he knew the band, and not only had he heard of them, he'd seen them! Why would she find that boring?
Claire does seem to be one of the more (if not the most) uptight characters in the strip, doesn't she? Not that I don't still love her, but mannn....
The SSSH made me think of this (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2030).
If he doesn't deserve it, sure.

Hanners is so infectious.
I love how customers are so attuned to Hanners and her quirks, that they actually participate in it.I'm waiting for Faye and Dora to come back to see a crowd of people, spilling into the street, staring quietly and intently at the shop. :-D
Oh Hanners, you so wuvvable!
Also, "Tannelore" continues on. I now wonder if this will be a permanent skin-tone for her?
Warning - while you were reading, +7 more customers are now lined up in Coffee of Doom all shushing you now. You may wish to review your post.
Naaaaaah, many people came long before station.Someone has a crush on Hannelore.You've got competition. >:D

I was being rhetorical and auto correct screwed up the spelling I do hate arrogant hipsters pretentious pricks
I love how customers are so attuned to Hanners and her quirks, that they actually participate in it.Unconscious mind-control powers... Trivial for someone connected to the Deep Ones (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1753).
If Hanners is going all sentry on the store, shouldn't she be carrying the store broadsword at the slope?
Hanners is wonderful and I love how her essence can just get people to join in her endeavours like that. I would definitely be staying there helping her sshhhh!
The lengthening shadow next to the cash register is a nice touch.
Jam is still often sold in 453g (1lb) jars, for example.
The first thing I thought of after reading this comic is that "Coffe of Doom" should be in a scarier font. :psyduck:Like what? COMIC SANS? (I was surprised to find it was actually a font option)

Still cute :angel:
It looks like she'll be in the next strip.
Hannelore should carry something like an epi-pen but full of anti-anxiety medication.This should be a real thing.
Sounds like it's time to break out the emergency bourbon again. Though hopefully not at the same time as the sword....Yeah, she might injure something.

Epi is short for 'epidural.' It's for pregnant people.Hannelore should carry something like an epi-pen but full of anti-anxiety medication.
I don't know what an epi-pen is, but that sounds like a good idea. Since I rely totally on ativan to not freak out in social situations or worry myself to death, having it on hand is a must. I can so relate to Hannelore in this strip.
EpiPen (http://www.epipen.com/) is actually the trade name of a self-injection device carried by those with severe allergies to administer treatment immediately in the case of anaphylactic shock. The word is also used generically for such devices.
Epidurals are not solely for pregnant people - in fact, the only time anyone would have an epidural when pregnant is in the process of becoming unpregnant, i.e. for pain relief during labour (and my non-qualified, not-actual-medical-advice advice would be to avoid them if you can because they cause a cascade of interventions generally resulting in unnecessary surgery, and thereby essentially delaying the pain rather than preventing it). The term refers to the location into which the injection is placed: around the dura mater (I believe this is a section of the skin?), usually of the spinal cord....You DO both know that I was joking, as it is a much nicer response than my instinct to reply "Google it" to people requesting a definition on the internet, right?
As Paul says, EpiPen is a brand name, and the Epi part comes from Epinephrine, another term for the adrenaline contained in the pen.

Hey, I wonder what Gabby's up to? I just realized that we haven't really seen her since she went skinny dipping with Tai.
Was SHE the one who Emily murdered perhaps? :psyduck:
But if she's Xena, does that make Hannelore Gabrielle?
Am I the only one who had a "is Claire really the best character for a 'powerful sword' joke?" reaction? :psyduck:Well, Marten sure as heck isn't.
Am I the only one who had a "is Claire really the best character for a 'powerful sword' joke?" reaction? :psyduck:

You're not. Except I wanted to make that joke. (And then probably get banned for it.)
I wonder which of the QC cast I would trust least with the broadsword...
Emily I think...

Dammit! I wanted to make that reference!
Smaller groups are an exception. My wife's choir director is very direct in his instructions and doesn't reason with people: his authority comes from voluntary cooperation. Other authority comes from expertise and tradition: I'm going to schedule an unpleasant and embarrassing medical procedure soon because my doctor told me to.
It's when we try to build something larger than a hunter-gatherer band that we need to resort to force to keep things together.

"A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves." - Lao TzuReminds me, of all things, of Futurama
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
On the other hand... "A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves." - Lao Tzu

Ah yes, the original chainmail bikini wearer. I'd forgotten, except in the furtive depths of my subconscious...
No, you really don't want to go there...
I would never have thought that Marten has been working for more than one year at the library :psyduck:Marten started there soon after he started dating Dora, so he's probably been there about two years by now.
I...are clippers an electric shaver?They're a basketball team in Los Angeles, but the idea of them helping to shave her pubic hair presents many difficulties.

Who goes into a store that advertises "touristy bullshit?"I would.
Then again, last time I was in Niagara Falls, I intentionally would shop at Niagara-on-the-Lake and other non-touristy places, which were all free of touristy shit.
See, y'all don't remember her from MTM. She was kinda annoying back then as Ted Baxter's squeeze. She got more annoying in Golden Girls.Are you confusing Betty White ("Sue Ann Nivens," the Happy Horny Homemaker) with Georgia Engel ("Georgette," aka Mrs. Ted?)
