I like this poll better than mine, so I'm gonna lock mine (but I'll leave the poll open). For future reference, Westrim, if there's already a WCDT for the week, don't create a new one.When I posted this, there were two for last week. :?
How about DAMN LOOK AT THE CANS ON THAT ONE?
By far my favorite.
No, the one I'd started about two hours before this one was for this week, it just had the wrong dates (oops) but the right comic numbers. No worries, I'd only put it up because there wasn't one for the week yet. Also, how could you forget "Dickmouth Stinkface"?I like this poll better than mine, so I'm gonna lock mine (but I'll leave the poll open).

Something tells me Hanners would be pretty immune to negging
Winslow is gonna be so damn mad.She'll have to explain she sees him as a good friend or little brother or something. My mind is converting this into an anime as I type and it's really disturbing. :psyduck:
So do we ban David McGuire?

This comic just broke my brain. I can't deal with it. There is just no way for me to process it mentally.
Here is the thread for the week, and a poll, slightly dated but still tasty. Ill add any options people want to the end, and I've allowed voters to vote times and change their minds (though that function hasn't worked in the past.)My favorite was actually Momo's threat to May... but I voted on what you had.
Oh, wait, let's get him a fair trial (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1017) first.Doesn't she still have that thing...?

I really hope Jeph knew about it before he put it up...
Incorrect sir; the Internet has, in fact, decided that negging is an insult to women.
One does not contradict the other ...Technically this is true, but in the context where our friend Max Wilder here was complaining that the internet was incorrectly portraying this phenomenon because "they just don't understand, man" it makes a vital difference. the Internet does not misunderstand negging; instead the opposite is true. The Internet fully comprehends the method and objective and finds it disgusting and therefore fit only for parody and (not so) subtle misrepresentation.
Undermining a person's confidence and self-image as a tactic to have sex with them is despicable.

After all, you cannot actually make napalm with a 1:1 mix of gasoline and frozen concentrated orange juice…
I never quite understood the appeal of negging anyway. Any guy who does it is basically admitting to himself that he's so pathetic that he doesn't have a shot with a women who has any sense of self-worth - he has to make women feel worthless so that they believe he's the best they'll be able to get. :facepalm:
Hannelore has been offered a robot and indignantly declined (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1011).
His bait and tackle are still in beta.Hahahha oh man, I loved that story arc.

Yeah, the problem with negging is that it brings into your life the type of women who respond to negging: low self esteem, needy, desperate for approval. In the long term, just not worth the drama.
What does that mean, Dora-Tai-Faye threeway?Dammit... I tried to look up this comic (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1408) thinking it was before The Talk, but I was way off. QC really needs a text search function.
I'm guessing assistant manager or something. Maybe it's a plan to ensure that Faye stays, instead of moving with Angus to NY.
New speculation! Dora starts a second shop near the library to be closer to Tai.

They aren't pants, they're shorts. But Dora hardly seems like she enforces a dress code, what's wrong with shorts? And what makes them boyshorts? Fashion is confusing :psyduck:
My initial thought was Faye was stone cold walking around town in her underpants.... yeah, it's not like she'd let anyone else ...
To be fair, I think out of all the cast she'd be the only one who could pull it off
I wonder what responsibilities would come with the promotion.Yes. Otherwise it's a promotion from making and serving coffee to... making and serving coffee. Is Dora going to delegate doing the accounts? Roasting the coffee?

Boyshorts are a style of panties. My initial thought was Faye was stone cold walking around town in her underpants.

Those aren't even close to boyshorts.
And Hanners has done it... (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=800)
They remind me of the sort of shorts that were insanely popular with both sexes and all ages in the 70's and early 80's. They really should be a neon colour or have a hideous pattern, though.
Although I sleep in a very similar looking pair of pj bottoms.
Back during the Secret Bakery trade arc, I seem to remember that it was Faye's job to roast the coffee beans anyway. Someone with more archive fu than me will probably be able to find the script.Quite the opposite, actually...
Why is it that the sentence "We need to talk" can inspire such universal terror? Lord knows that when I hear or read it, I automatically reach for a tower shield and plate mail.

I can't quote it since I can't find it, but the jist of it is that Dora uses a secret process to roast the coffee. No one knows the process she uses, not even Faye.
Other story potential: Faye discovers actually *being* in charge (even at a second-in-command level) is nowhere near as fun as *acting as if* you're in charge.That sounds to me like an underestimation of Faye: I'm pretty sure she's quite aware.
Dora is about to announce her Political Career and run for office in Mass.
I am going to bet half of a yen from my signature that we will go to a "Angus gets a job in NY" arc within ten strips.

So, if someone takes you up on that bet, what happens if you're right? If wrong? And what to the other person? :)
Evidently learning to delegate is going to be a personal growth opportunity for Dora.
If Pennelope and Cosette are serious, there will be job openings, and Dale has an application in progress.Serious about what?
I figured as much, but it seems he took it down, since when I looked it wasn't there. :(Manually increment the strip number in the url
(which you can still see if you know the "secret doorway").Oh, sorry... I think I gave it away... :-P
I totally expected that reaction. It wasn't very hard.
Let's assume for a minute that the shop is still doing well enough to support these changes. Yes, I realize that the "shop is the new cool thing because they insult you" storyline was quite a while back IRL, but it's only a few months ago in QC time.
Not sure if they're just in jest or whatever, but Faye does have seniority.
Pretty sure they're serious. Faye is quite often condescending, and has never demonstrated the ability to manage people. The closest she has come is minding Jim's daughter.I actually wouldn't mind having Faye as my boss, as long as I'd be allowed to joke back with her. I think she's capable of stepping up to the plate. She can also handle criticism if she's being problematic. She's grown a lot, and I don't think very many people are giving her the credit she deserves. I honestly didn't care for her for a long time, for how she was so casually mean-spirited. She's a different person now. If she proves she can't handle the job, well, she can get demoted. No harm done.
Would you want Faye as your boss??
I get the feeling that someone is going to head over to the Secret Bakery (after all, with Padma gone, there is a position open over there). Sure.. there might be some issues with Jim picking off one of Dora's employees.
Would love to see someone who was written out come back in, but the chances of someone like Sara coming back.. I think I have a better shot winning the lottery.. twice.
If this is a way to write both characters off... I don't care that much (I still do) about Cosette but I will get seriously sad about Penelope leaving. I really like her... and this would look like a cheap way to say good bye to those chracters. Time will tell thugh. :(
Wil won't vanish - at least to the extent that any story that has a visit to the pub will have him serving.And how often has that been?

Would Pennelope have been the better candidate for promotion?
I can't imagine either of them being 'put on a bus'. When has that happened in QC? All the old characters are still around, with maybe... two exceptions? Padma is the only character I can think of right now who is just not going to make an appearance again, and even that could change.
Er Faye "enjoys making people feel like shit" now?
Since when?
No, seriously, what?
Word of God is that Ellen, Natasha, and Sara are gone forever.Until they aren't.
Yes, I realize that the "shop is the new cool thing because they insult you" storyline was quite a while back IRL, but it's only a few months ago in QC time.
However, the impression I got from that storyline was not that Coffee of Doom was new but it had just been discovered by a reviewer. I got the impression from the conversations between Dora and Marten's mother (and Dora and the guy who runs the other bakery) that Coffee of Doom had been around for a while.
Also the Insult Vampire stripDamn, I don't remember this one at all. D:

Hemingway. Also the Insult Vampire strip, also her early treatment of Raven.
I actually wouldn't mind having Faye as my bossBut are you basing that on strictly what you know about Faye as heard at work or are you basing that on having ready 2000+ comics she appears frequently in. We know why Faye keeps the world at arms length with biting sarcasm. Do Penelope and Cosette know that?
...why? What good would an interview do?
it's never a good idea to snark at a supervisor. Even if it doesn't cause trouble, you'll never know for sure and always worry.
Not that it hasn't been suggested. (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=82)
I'm hardly a fan of Faye as she reminds me too much of some people I've known. In my experience someone with a gruff-but-jovial demeanor usually evolves into a petty asshole once they've gotten enough power-ups. So yeah, I'm comparing Faye to a bitch-type Pokemon.
