Given their current, non-vaporized state, can we conclude that Sweet Tits and Yelling Bird are the immortals of the QCverse?
Can you get vegetarian hot-pockets? :mrgreen:

No, it proves is that the YB Crew strips take place in a Toon-verse where normal laws of physics and reality do not apply and even the largest explosion only causes the damage that you want it to.
Randy disappears when he dies only to immediately reappear. Harriet and Howard (Yelling Bird's name until I'm canonically told otherwise) don't seem to die or disappear at all. Interesting.Randy's a Time Lord?
Hannelore's clothing incident was just a interlude because Jeph didn't want to focus on events around the Library Interns to the exception of all else.
So, what happens for the rest of the week?
IMHO, the only current story thread that could be said to need an immediate continuation is what will happen with Emily and Clinton. However, even that could be handled with a 'offhand flashback comment' if Jeph doesn't want to go into detail about it.

What about the Svenectomy? Please, that drama bomb is going to have some real fallout
Not necessarily and certainly not immediately. That said, I could see Tai complaining to the others at the library how the breach with her family is affecting Dora (because I can see the Bianchis taking Sven's side).I agree on the not immediately (even though i'm actually looking forward to that arc), I think Jeph is likely to wrap up (at least temporarily) Emily/Clinton before he does any other real plot developments. I'd like to see more of a capstone on Faye/Angus, but it is true not everything in life actually gets closure
Marten gets a text at 2:00 AM from Tai: "Can we talk?"
Marten sighs and sits up.
Claire sleepily asks if everything's okay.
----
One day, dammit. ONE DAY...
So, either the Emilysmooch was completely harmless, or it was all part of her (and perhaps Tai's?) devious plan to nudge Marten in Claire's direction. Hmm. I can kind of see the latter happening...

So we know Tai has some vertical and she has a power hug that can crack a Marten in half. Are we sure she didn't play Cornerback in her high school?
Just a sporty thought, after all that Tai talk.
Randy's a Time Lord?Randy is eternal.
But Tai is a Taim Lord.Randy's a Time Lord?Randy is eternal.

Uh oh. Seems Faye's slowly circling the drain. This'd be the first time she's brought booze into work.

Faye's falling back in the bottle story just got a lot less subtle.
But I suppose alchoholism generally isn't subtle.
Goddamnit Faye It's that time of year again!
I do wonder if Emily distracted Claire on purpose. I still can't imagine Emily doing anything sneaky, but switching to that subject did help Tai intercept her.
Too subtle?
Some anti-foreshadowing a bit later: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1807 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1807)Uh oh. Seems Faye's slowly circling the drain. This'd be the first time she's brought booze into work.
Not quite. (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1798) But now it seems the booze isn't intended for emergencies anymore.
At least she asked for permission first?
That's... gotta count for something, right?
::pun::
No, but it is a bit advanced for some.
Faye's addiction to alcohol was always of the 'stress coping' variety. Because of this, and the nature of her breakup with Angus, there was always the risk that she'd turn back to some form of chemical crutch to avoid dealing with her thoughts and emotions. That's a dangerous path and I'm wondering if she's unknowingly travelling down her father's path.
Fortunately, Dora has found out. Unlike Marten, she doesn't avoid confrontation, so a dramatic intervention may be about to happen (Hannelore on 24/7 Faye-watch? The CoD girls taking it in shifts to watch her?). I suspect that Marten might feel guilty about being so wrapped up in himself that he didn't notice.At least she asked for permission first?
That's... gotta count for something, right?
I think that it was a cry for help. Faye is too proud to ask directly, so she went the indirect route and basically told one of her friends that she's hurting and drinking too much by implication.

My first reaction to that was that it was some kind of Ginger Baker/Tom Baker mashup joke.You may be thinking of Glen Livet, but that's not an apostraphe, that's just a space. Glenfartin, Glenmorangie, and Glenfiddich are all one word names.
The Glenfartin` seems to be missing its apostrophe.

Not a real comic (judging by hitting Previous and Next and not getting back to it). Save it while you can...
Is this the first time they've explicitly stated Faye and Angus broke up?
Technically, alcohol is a solution.
So happy that we are back with the classic gang for a bit. The juvenile issues of Claire/Clinton/Emily were making me feel like I was watching Rugrats.Just for that post, Jeph will give us Pintsize antics on Monday.
Technically, alcohol is a solution.You're either part of the solution or part of the precipitate.
Faye's friends may have no choice but to put her through turkey, which won't be pheasant!
I agree, going cold turkey is never pheasant, but sometimes necessary. Faye seems to know she needs help, but is to chicken to ask for it directly. Still, it's better to eat a little crow and accept some help from friends before you wind up doing something you're going to egret.

Going cold turkey with booze is possibly deadly, though.

Techically, alcohol by itself is not a solution. Liquor is a solution of alcohol (and usually other things) in water. Or vice versa.

OH MY GOD! Neko is advising Faye to do something that could KILL her? :psyduck: Are you stork raven mad? I won't tern a blind eye to this!

(OK, maybe that last one was a little strained. The fault is mynah...)
The poll option has been bothering me all week, so I'd like to take this last opportunity to point out that the song you sing on New Year's Eve is spelled "Auld Lang Syne"...Fixed.
