I am curious if the guy in 2529 is a fan of Jackie Robinson or Hitchhikers Guide?
I just hope that there won't be some evil cliffhanger on Friday. I want my birthday cliffhanger-free.

I am shocked, dismayed, and horrified! You went through all the trouble of shortening Faye's new rank to Ass Man, but not a single poll option related to butts? Scorn and disapproval!My Butts Disease infection is quite mild.
Oh. Does...does anyone call it that?No.
Pronounced pred, but spelled pread.Sounds better, but I was trying to make it vaguely obvious.
Seriously why does everyone want dora dead? :psyduck:She knows why.
What about "More doom"?I thought More door was doomy enough. You can't simply walk into it, after all.

Jeez, what was Dale's issue with the pizza job? It didn't seem that bad.

It's pizza delivery. It starts that bad then gets worse as time goes on. At least Dale has a car though; I'd really ate to be doing that on a rusting hulk of a bike like the kids around here have to.
(In case your imagination needs a kickstart, delivering pizzas combines the very worst of retail with the very worst of delivery then paints a target on your back…)

It's not that bad really, especially if you're an introvert with ADD. The take home pay can be pretty good depending on your area, there are regular intervals of alone time, and there is outside stimulation for most of the day.

Factor in the wear and tear on your car, the shitty tips, and the hours.
Either it's a long way from the pizza-shop to CoD, or Dale is out of condition.
Well, it could easily be that he sprinted the 5 minutes it took him to arrive at CoD.
It just makes you wonder, what or who he ran from. Was he chased out of the pizza store?
Yay! No more glowing glasses!
Either it's a long way from the pizza-shop to CoD, or Dale is out of condition.
Did he sell his car?
There's probably no available parking anywhere near CoD.
I mean, have you ever tried to find an open parking space anywhere in Massachusetts? They're all taken.

It's probably not best to tell your new boss that you quit your old job with no notice whatsoever...
Just trying to work out why the quoted message is invisible.
I've only ordered pizza a couple of times. The last time, I absolutely did not tip. I almost refused to pay - the pizza arrived over an hour after it was ordered, stone cold.
I guess this kills the Claire/Marten shipping, then.
No ear job? What a tease!
The possibly obscure reference (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1572).I'm surprised you didn't go straight to the action (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1574).
Not everyone is into aural sex.
*rimshot*Would that be a rimshot on an eardrum?
It's still too early to tell where this will go.
I'd like to note that this strip is strong evidence that Claire is into dudes, since her mind jumped to dicks and not pussies. Though I must say, rubbing a cat against the side of your face is quite pleasurable.
The lady is hetero.Just because she likes one doesn't mean she doesn't like the other. There's no way to know for sure yet.
Or she could know exactly what she likes.
It's actually quite nice that people are talking about bisexuality as a thing that really exists, since most of the general media present it as binary: attracted to men, or attracted to women.To be fair, that's because most of society IS binary, both outwardly and in actual fact. Males especially are very unlikely to be bisexual. Lots of people still are having a hard time or have yet to accept interest in the same sex alone- being interested in both is going to take a bit more time to represent. I don't really see that as an issue so long as what bisexual characters there are aren't caricatures- it would get very annoying if media became obsessed with matching exact ratios of human society to characters.
I would personally disagree with the assessment that most people are monosexual. I think that society has to well programmed us into thinking that. We've been taught that there are boxes of sexuality, rather than a sliding curve. You are straight or gay... sometimes people add bi in there too. By which they usually mean people equally attracted to both men and women, or less polite ways of phrasing it. So pervasive this thought is that many people deny it in themselves. Then again I think a lot of the people who so strongly believe in the 'homosexuality is a choice' dogma are actually either homosexual or bisexual themselves, but don't admit to it. They decided to just date someone off the opposite sex, so they assume everyone else can do the same.I refuse to peck around for a full response on a smartphone screen, but suffice to say for now that we are working from a similar data set; I am quite aware that sexuality is currently simplified as a scale.
Of course I have no evidence to back this up. It's hard to get evidence on how often people deceive themselves. And I certainly don't suggest the theory that some have that 'all people are bi'. But through personal experience, other people's anecdotes and observations I suspect a lot more people are bisexual to some degree than they would admit.
Social stigmata is still a real thing, even if it is easing up.Given we were talking about piercings, this is a particularly disturbing typo.
Woops! I didn't even notice I did that...Social stigmata is still a real thing, even if it is easing up.Given we were talking about piercings, this is a particularly disturbing typo.

...And when she does, she'll discover Claire's "secret".
Unfortunately, this is Tai we're talking about, so it'll get blabbed around - and somehow Claire will blame Marten for it.
Hilarity ensues.

He's at $140k, I wonder what the final stretch goal is.
Something bothers me...
"Hey Tai? You've got a lot of piercings..."
Does she? We see the ears. Maybe her tongue? Not visible, but possible. We know about her hood, but would Claire?
Also, don't make promises you can't keep, Claire.

In that shirt, nipple piercings would probably be visible. But really, alll I see are the ears. Is that "a lot"?
Hanners has a lot of piercings, and that's just in the ears... she'd also be a good one to ask about sanitary conditions...
Touche*rimshot*Would that be a rimshot on an eardrum?

It's entirely likely that Tai has talked about her piercings, including ones you can't see. She likes to talk about her hood piercing after all. Assuming she hasn't shown them off to the co-workers/friends anyway... This is Tai we are talking about. She dropped trousers in front of Marten when she got the piercing done with no problem.
[...] Momo could have a arc about getting piercings [...]
It would be a shocking reveal but only after she hammers out the rough spots.[...] Momo could have a arc about getting piercings [...]I'm stealing this pun. I can't think what to do with it though :(
Accompanying redheaded girls getting piercings is Marten's new side gig, I gather. :PMaybe he gets a commission when he brings in a redheaded girl for a piercing.
squee.
I say again, SQUEE
Getting my ears pierced was a big deal for me too.And yeah, getting my ears pierced was a pretty big deal for me too, although at that point I had been pretty out with the way I dress for about a year already.
Why does she do it if she finds it so frightening? Lots of women live happily with no piercings.
But she does not need piercings to be more feminine. She is entirely feminine as is.

Why would Marten want to be an officer?
Are you talking about an earcuff? Those don't generally need a piercing, they just wrap around the cartilage wave at the outside edge of your ear.

I seriously doubt Tai would do that. I also wonder how he'll fit that many names in the liner notes.
Jeph's wondering that as I post this.

I have a cuff (somewhere...) which has an earring on a chain attached to the ornate cuff bit. I feel like it makes me look a bit like a lesbian pirate. I'm not sure if I'd wear it any more but I wish I knew where it was so I could have the option!
You must be over 18 or have a guardian present.
I didn't say it was actually there right now. I was just throwing that out as a suggestion.You used quotes, and it wasn't unreasonable. Why wouldn't I have checked?
Chekhov's sign:Quote from: signYou must be over 18 or have a guardian present.
Next week starts off with Marten being mistaken for underage-Claire's guardian (not implausible, since Claire could pass for fourteen and he for mid-thirties), causing further awkwardness between them and prematurely giving him midlife-crisis feels. I'm calling it.
It occurs to me that "You must be 18 or have a guardian present" could be taken to mean that people who are 19-plus must also have a guardian present.
Why are there racks of sweaters or hoodies or something in a piercing/tattooing place? Do they normally sell clothes as well in the USA? Take in dry cleaning? Have a huge staff who nearly all wear black?

Damn. A day too late. Good thing I don't want a piercing or tattoo.
ARG GODDAMMIT I WROTE IT DOWN WHEN YOU MENTIONED IT LAST WEEK BUT I FORGOT:laugh:
Happy Birthday!
I was still presenting as male then. Or trying to, with a bit less success every passing day (pardon the pun). That was when the change rate was at its height, losing a kilo a day, blood chemistry well beyond anything remotely normal. Sex hormones were just part of it, other things were happening that were life threatening. I suspect this kind of thing is more common than the literature would suggest, but usually pretty quickly fatal so unreported.Getting my ears pierced was a big deal for me too.And yeah, getting my ears pierced was a pretty big deal for me too, although at that point I had been pretty out with the way I dress for about a year already.
Kind of tempted to repierce them but I don't know how professional it would be in law school.One of the great Advantages of being a Geekette - I can wear Dalek earrings when giving lectures, and get complimentary remarks.

I'm not sure where you're coming from here. Exclusive "OR" would imply that you could have one or the other. Inclusive "OR" would allow but not require both. To require both, you'd need an "AND."

I love how Marten has absolutely zero reaction to the screams of horror. That man has seen some shit.
Hm. Our piercing lady has changed hairstyle drastically (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1248) - and apparently doesn't have as much ink as she used to.
decorative clankery.
Today's employee looks like Cosette with pink hair and tats. The one in #1248 looks more (to me) like Dora or May with pink-and-black hair and tats.
I was quite nervous when I had my ears pierced. I was 24 and had not even started hormones yet.It's a rite of passage, whether you realise that or not.

I know some trans guys freak out at the thought. There's something very Freudian about having one's body pierced.
