Also there are wild turkeys here. It kinda blows my mind. I only know turkeys as farm yard animals that like to try to fight me, and dinner.

It's like Jeph WANTS me to ship.No, he wants to ship, and for us to support those ships and none that he has not explicitly launched.
looks like Steve and Cosette might be on the rocks...
If Cosette hasn't been drinking or caught a cold or something like that, Steve ought to tell her to see a doctor.
Poor sleep quality costs. Youth can compensate, but doesn't last forever, and anyway, the strength of youth could be better spent. When I turned thirty, it was like someone turned off a switch in my head ...
Callback strip, kinda. (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1328)
Something to consider: Jeph might be compiling strips for Volume 4 already, so he's going through the archives.
Thats why I think Steve and Cosette might be on the rocks. Todays strip is an obvious callback to this one, and the foreshadowing is a bit thick.
I wonder if Jeph is setting up Dale & Marigold's Anime Night for his big annual Thanksgiving plot twist (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=2326). :popcorn:
Todays comic reminded me of Pintsize spooning Marten after Dora and him broke up, which made me realize that I still don't like Marten being single.A lonely person.
Just as much as I don't like being single either. But then, I'm not working against that, either. So who am I to complain.
looks like Steve and Cosette might be on the rocks...
I think he is wondering about the levitating arm.
Regarding Steve and Cosette, many people seem to be forgetting the Law of Conservation of Detail. We likely wouldn't be shown a romantic couple sleeping in a nonromantic fashion juxtaposed with other romantic couples unless it meant something. What may happen in reality is irrelevant.
Right. And Jeph would never waste an entire strip on Steve eating breakfast (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2407), either. That surely must have meant something major was brewing. :-PAs his commentary that day notes, people wanted to know what Steve was up to. So he showed us.
Edit: As an aside, Marten's bed has shrank a lot since 1850 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1850).I also noticed that. Maybe he traded the bed for two persons he had with Dora - and also still, with Padma, I think - for this smaller one, since he wasn't anticipating a new relationship.
Steve's had more breakups than Marten.... which, seeing as neither's polyamourous, is just another way to say Steve's had more hookups than Marten.
"...ma in Spagna: mille tre"? Or is that Sven (or Raven, who even has the notebook)?FYP (assuming we are talking about Don Giovanni)
I think Marten has had much better relationship luck than... say Hanners? or Marten's mom? or Marigold? or Sven?Well, Hanners ain't gonna happen. Her pretend date with Sven was probably the best she will ever do (hugging her dad, in public view, without anxiety medication, was a HUGE milestone, though).

Well, Hanners ain't gonna happen. Her pretend date with Sven was probably the best she will ever do (hugging her dad, in public view, without anxiety medication, was a HUGE milestone, though).You're pretty pessimistic- Hannelore has been improving throughout the comic (minus her medicated intro), and there's no reason to believe she will never go on an actual date. Not necessarily one with physical contact, at least not without lots of saran wrap, but a date. And Sven is pretty clearly going through a reform period so the next time he gets close with some one he doesn't fuck it up. Hope's not lost for either of them.
Sven is probably worse off. He's done a whole bunch of banging and, until Faye came along, it didn't mean much to him. Faye was most likely his first and last meaningful thing (that "date" with Hannelore happened shortly afterward), but as of his last appearance, he seriously regrets fucking that up (in a literal and metaphorical sense...)
But besidesMight I direct you to this wonderful thread (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,29097.0.html)Mr Reid, there hasn't really been anything worthy of note.
Dumb question: what's she holding in her hand?
Actual answer: hairspray and a lighter, aka a makeshift flamethrower.
Leave aside history - I took it that Dora is simply conscious that an older building is a higher fire risk. Remember also that Faye has a history of burning down buildings...
OK you can stop laughing now, Old World People
the place was built before modern building codes were enacted.
I took it that Dora is simply conscious that an older building is a higher fire risk.Thank you. I was wondering what that was about. All I could think of was that 100 years was long enough to accumulate an impressive number of spiders in the basement.
Remember also that Faye has a history of burning down buildings...Ah yes, now you come to mention it...

i cannot possibly be the only one who thought of this
I grew up in a town where our town walls date back to the 12th century (second oldest example in the country), even the town itself dates back to around the 9th century when the Vikings wanted a base they could launch raids up the river. So hearing Americans and Australians sounding so amazed that their homes date back to the 18th century always makes me chuckle a little.

"The Americans think 100 years is a long time, while the English think 100 miles is a long drive."
No idea who said that originally, but I've always liked it. :wink:
Turns out there are enormous earwigs. They're native to Australia, of course.WHY GOD WHY??

But Dora was willing to get rid of the spiders (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2468).Obvious misdirection.
That's actually the top of a trash can.I don't think so, it looks like the bottom narrows to form a collar and no trash can top I know does that.
Hmm...I suppose it could be that. Or maybe Daft Punk lives there.That was my first thought as well.

Don't forget the poisonous spiders, snakes, fish, octopi, jellyfish, plants, ants, centipedes ..... what the heck is a Platypus categorized as now anyways?Monotremes?
Hanners must have hidden a spare Spacesuit down there.
It was funny to have Hannelore field the question but wouldn't it have been more logical to have asked Momo?
So we can throw a Princess Bride reference in there too?
AS AN AUSTRALIAN I AM OFFENDED THAT YOU THINK AKIMA IS THE ONLY AUSTRALIAN ON THIS FORUM oh wait no I'm not.Australia has its own section on the Everything Trying to Kill You (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EverythingTryingToKillYou) trope page. Nuff said.
But really, Australia isn't that bad; all the venomous snakes and stuff that people complain about have been killed and eaten by all the poisonous spiders. :mrgreen:
C'mon, Hanners, it's not like you're unfamiliar with the question (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1756). Also I read Cathy for years just because it was in the comics and I used to read the comics every day. There were only two pages of daily comics when I read them so I just read all of them. It was pretty fucking terrible.
Humanity is sexist:
Excusing sexism in such a manner is kinda fucked up.... and for my next trick, I'll excuse the humidity of the Pacific.

Huh, must have missed the memo about the next PC witch hunt.
So let me get this straight, what we are supposed to be outraged about is a silly and probably not serious statement about expected gendered behaviors when it comes to dating that potentially frame women in the role of sex object, but ignore that it also puts men in a stereotypical role of sex and beer obsessed simpletons.
for any perceived slight
If you're offended on behalf of another, especially without checking to see whether that other is offended, that's PC and you oughta have better things to do with your time.
I could just issue a warning, stating the reason, and cut off further discussion of the matter; but for better or worse, I choose not to do that.
Arizona. At first glance, it doesn't look nearly as bad as Australia; its desert areas has an abundance of vegetation (as opposed to the stereotype of deserts being barren) while its forested areas look outright inviting. Not bad at all right? Wrong. Let's start with the desert. Okay, you can easily die of sunstroke or frostbite (you heard right), as the desert is either really hot or really cold depending on the season. However, that's just for starters. Beside the climate, the desert is home to an abundance of species that could keep with Australian types; the obvious ones are the rattlesnakes, coyotes (which can travel in packs of dozens by the way), cougars, jaguars (yes, really), and spiders (anything from tarantulas to black widows to brown recluses), but there's also the likes of the peccary (think the Sonoran's take on a wild boar), tarantula hawk (talk about Names to Run Away From Really Fast) and gila monster (one of two known venomous lizards, so named for their temperament) to name a few. Alongside, the combination of abundant vegetation and dry air can easily cause massive wild fires that are near impossible to put out (no thanks to the limited water supply); even a blown out match is enough to ignite one (which has happened more than once). And that's not discounting the vegetation itself; while the plantsnote aren't venomous like in Australia, they're lethal in their own myriad of ways. First, they can easily catch hold of loose clothing and effectively trap anyone against them (which means if you don't have a knife or easy-to-rip-or-takeoff clothing, then you're stuck, period); even a slight brush can often lead to ensnarement. Alongside that, said plants may or may not be home to one of the local animals listed above, as snakes, spiders and insects like to use them for shelter. • Large patches of a devious little cactus called the teddy-bear cholla litter the Sonoran Desert. From a distance they, they look as cute and fuzzy as the name implies, but get too near and you'll find that those fuzzy looking spines mean business. Entire segments of the plant will break away so it can cling to your leg like a gigantic cocklebur, making large areas completely impassable.
◦ And then there's the forest areas in northern Arizona, which nearly takes the trope Up to Eleven. You read about the climate above, right? Well, it can be just as hot or cold in the north, and water is just as limited; unless you're near a (man-made) lake, death by dehydration is just as likely to occur as in the Sonoran. And just like the aforementioned, the air tends to be very dry, which can easily cause forest fires (from so much as an excessively hot day). And finally, there's always the local wildlife, which pretty much includes everything listed above, only now with addition of bears alongside additional types of wildcats and arthropods. In short, if you want to go on a nature hike, best pack heavy firepower (preferably something in the rifle range) and lots and lots and lots of water.

I'm just wondering what fluid Momo might be leaking. Surely she doesn't use that amount of oil? That would be very old-school engineering I would have thought.Maybe she's leaking that liquid used to generate a sweatdrop.

So, you are saying that you believe that all forms of discriminatory and insulting speech should be allowed unless the targets themselves speak up. That will not fly here, whatever you think about the matter. In any case, women have spoken up about objectification.
You said it right after his post, and it was somewhat applicable to his post. Maybe specify next time if you're not responding to anyone in particular.
That's not progress. It's regression.Regression from what, exactly?

Every foot-soldier sees only their part of the battlefield. Every person has only so much energy and time, and needs to triage as much as any field hospital. To argue that it is not legitimate to fight the injustices you face each day, unless you can fight every single injustice ever, is simply an argument that one should not fight at all. When aimed at women, it's another version of "Shut up and stay in the kitchen."

What they left out is that Arizona is one of the few deserts where it's not uncommon to die by drowning. When Arizona does get rain it's often enough to flash floods.
Momo's voice.And what does Momo's voice sound like?
In my head, her current chassis sounds a bit like GLaDOS, but about half an octave higher. Her original sounded pretty much like her current one, but about an octave higher than that.

Agree on this.
The thing is, if it was brought up differently, there would have been a much different reaction.
If instead of "why is everyone upset with this, when this is also happening" which causes people to get angry because whether you mean to or not, you are dismissing what is bothering people in order to focus on something else that is offensive to you, it was brought up "not only is it offensive to x, its also offensive to y because" most people would be agreeing.
X Rights aren't a zero sum game. If someone is discussing offense to something, it doesn't make offensive comments towards other things irrelevant just because they haven't been brought up yet.
Because when when people get comfortable ignoring an issue, it creates new issues.

Don't you see that the discussion on moderation is intended precisely to avoid us who are mods getting too comfortable with what we do?
In comic news, it's worth noting that Hanners, Marigold, and Emily have exchanged a few tweets about Marigold's clothing issue.
Momo's 'fluid' is where she keeps the live eels (http://www.questionablecontent.net/1298).
What was Emily's input on the clothing issue?
I'd say Marigold should wear something which is clean, without holes, comfortable and representative of her interests (she's got several T shirts with logos and images on them, right?). If they were going out for dinner I'd advise the dress she wore to that party, but for an anime night jeans and a t-shirt are the best choice.

Details, details. Everybody worries about little insignificant details like how to wear a shirt that lacks head or arm holes.I believe garments like that are commonly referred to as "sacks". People generally frown upon them, and warrant unwanted police attention, particularly when you are being guided by another person (usually with phrases like "RELEASE THE HOSTAGE IMMEDIATELY!" and such).
