2010 is already 1/12 over. Think about that!
Jibber your jabber.
Dude, that's harsh. I didn't know that TvTropes had the same moderation policy as Conservapedia.
If you ever ever see an edit by someone named Janitor, just steer clear of that article for a while.
Can anyone explain this week's oglaf? I don't get it.
I've been on a BSG kick lately so I chose the airlock - just make sure the Hub isn't in range - but nuking them from orbit was a close run second.Yes, little Reiver, you can—so long as you get the order right.
Can we do both?
Damn, those pillows are tiny? Do they shop at IKEA for pillows? That's madness! MADNESS, I say! Those Swedes are good at some things but they just don't understand how much space you need for your head. Dunlopillow all the way...
Yes, little Reiver, you can—so long as you get the order right.
Right. Although in this case it might actually be more effective to nuke first, then shove out the airlock, confident they've nowhere to go and no ready source of help.Yes, little Reiver, you can—so long as you get the order right.
This is along the lines of pillage THEN burn, right?
2010 is already 1/12 over. Think about that!
Myself, I learned to fear the 'great casualness.' It was patiently explained to me that it 'didn't matter any more'; that if I happened to be perched on the throne when she wanted something from the bathroom, she could simply barge right in.
What a terrible thing to do to a product of American Victorianism.
"Flowers?"
Right. Although in this case it might actually be more effective to nuke first, then shove out the airlock, confident they've nowhere to go and no ready source of help.
You forgot "Nuke it from orbit, just to be sure."
How did she get under the covers though, without being defenestrated by Faye I mean?The power of cute, that's how.
Yanno, if Faye had only waited a few years, she would have gotten Dora's bed. She did offer it, after all (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=398)...
I wholeheartedly approve of the location of Dora's arm in the last two panels.
The power of cute, that's how.You're not alone.
Yes, I look at two attractive girls cuddling and I only think it's "cute". Sue me. Even cuter if I imagine Dora with Sarah Chalke's voice.
I wholeheartedly approve of the location of Dora's arm in the last two panels.
I also approve. It just is not good girly cuddling until someone gets some boob.
Though I am trying to figure out the staffing situation over at COD. I am guessing Dora is dressed because she would be working, perhaps Faye has the day off and that is why she is not up yet? In which case I imagine Faye would have even more reason to be annoyed at Dora because she ruined her sleep in. Sleep ins are sacred people.
Just because she's dressed doesn't mean she's working. However, awakening a sleeping in roomie is grounds for defenestration, as mentioned (unless she's actually late for work).
You're not alone.
Well, until the Sarah Chalke thing. Then you're alone.
In the dark.
With a grue.
Anyway, Dora's faces are adorable. Whether I've gotten used to them or the art has changed subtly, I don't know.
You guys are missing something:All thanks to gravity and white shirts :evil:
Faye is teh CUTE in that first panel!
Today's strip is the first time I noticed Dora had started dying her hair again. I feel like such a stereotypical male.:oops:

I think Faye should be grateful it is only Dora. Can you imagine her freakout if Marten had gotten in on the action? All of a sudden they have some kind of ménage à trois thing going that she had not prepared for :lol:

As for Mieville, last time I moved and a cat went missing for a day, she came back pregnant...
Mieville attacking Pintsize from the shadows in 3... 2...This, big time.
I wholeheartedly approve of the location of Dora's arm in the last two panels.I was amused by the subtle difference in the position of her hand in the last panel (compared to the previous panel). It went from a hand on the boob to a full-on grope.
Apparently I am the only one who thinks Dora's behavior is completely inappropriate? I mean, Faye is in her own room, presumably with the door shut. Dora is being completely inconsiderate, especially considering she only moved in the day before. I highly doubt that Faye saying it was ok for Dora to move in also meant that Faye was ok with Dora ignoring standard boundaries and encroaching on her privacy.Inappropriate, yes, but also funny.
Not only is this comic cute, but also a near-perfect reflection of my life right now... :evil:
JD
And it got us the most appealing expression I've yet seen on Faye's face, in panel 5. I think Faye secretly digs being cuddled. Besides, after Sven, how much chastity can be left?Apparently I am the only one who thinks Dora's behavior is completely inappropriate? I mean, Faye is in her own room, presumably with the door shut.

Also, Faye's in the process of waking up, could be why she hasn't flung Dora across the room yet.
Also, why have we not seen Faye in any of her funny hats?
It's even more inappropriate than 415, but Dora is a free spirit.Amazing that Dora isn't dead by now, since she got the stare of doom in the next strip with the warning, "Don't EVER do that again."
If you ever ever see an edit by someone named Janitor, just steer clear of that article for a while.
Well Janitor is certainly one of the main TV Tropes mods, but I've found her quite reasonable and friendly, even on occasions where we disagreed politely but strongly about editing an entry. No aggro, no bans, no threats, no drama. Like me, she has English as a second language (she's Korean, as explained on her TV Tropes Contributor (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Janitor) page), but I've never had a problem communicating with her.
Apropos of today's comic, I loved the art. The contrast between the refined drawing and the crude humour made the whole comic even funnier.
Damn, those pillows are tiny? Do they shop at IKEA for pillows? That's madness! MADNESS, I say! Those Swedes are good at some things but they just don't understand how much space you need for your head. Dunlopillow all the way...Madness? THIS IS- wait, is this joke dead yet? It's been 3 years.
It seems to me that of all the people in QC right now, the first two to tie the knot will be Marten and Dora. I'm not saying it's gonna happen soon (definitely not) but they already act like a married couple sometimes (and heck! they've acted like Faye and Hanner's parents in the past).I think his dad will tie the knot first.
I don't know how it is there but I live in Sweden and my pillows are big AND from IKEA. They rock hard.I'm sorry you have uncomfortable, rocky pillows. :evil:
"Flowers?"
"Casket?" :laugh:

So yesterday Dora was cuddling really cutely with Martin...today she's cuddling really cutely with Faye...who's next, Hanners? Is this going to be the theme of the week? ;)Shhh! Quit giving Jeph ideas!
It's even more inappropriate than 415, but Dora is a free spirit.
They must be best friends, right? Lighten up! If my best friend did that to me in the morning, I'd be a bit grumpy at first, yeah, due to sleepiness, but to be honest I'd find it pretty funny! I wouldn't think it was 'inappropriate' or 'encroaching on my privacy'!
Faye's perfectly capable of knocking Dora's block off if she gets too touchy, even when half-asleep, so I get the feeling it's just annoying her more than anything else.
Faye's best friend is Marten. She said so in 1089.
Jeph said once that Faye was tolerating Dora's attentions because Dora's her boss, which puts a different complexion on things.
I'm too much of a fan
Aren't I? :angel:

Tai's hair looks great in today's comic. keep it that way please?Seconded. Tai's hair is awesome. On a completely unrelated note, her shirt/blouse looks like a pajama top. In a hurry to get to work?

Today's strip makes an amusing pair with 1292 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1292). Tai needs to take her own advice.
Gotta leave Halifax and St. John's intact though - Alexander Keith's Brewery is too important to lose and St. John's is an awesome place to party.St. John's still is a party place? (Never been there, just remember one character making plans to go there and raise hell in a novel I read in the seventies—called it "Sin John's.")
Uh, what now, Tai? Why should Marten have thought to invite you? You are his boss, you've never invited him to anything (as far as I can remember),Nrrdcon http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1511 (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1511), surveys, go ahead and use the copy room to bang- several invitations. She has been on social outings with them before.
Tai, you're easily Marten's biggest competition for Dora's affections.Nah, you just need a good lawnmower, and a place to store the gold so you don't flood the market.
And wait a tick, Marten! That analogy stinks! A solid gold lawn would be horrible! Like thousands of golden needles poking out waiting for someone to trip into them via a loose piece of sidewalk.
I like tai's hair in this comic.*facepalm* I am surrounded by goldfish. And people who don't read posts 2 before theirs before posting.
And it's not like Marten and Dora haven't been, erm acquainted with Tai more intimately than just employee and employee's girlfriend.

It's just shaggy bed head in the other comic. She has the top part pushed up in this one?She looked otherwise ready to go about her day and she didn't complain of being awakened, so that didn't occur to me. But aside from the forehead it still looks the same, so my points stand: she's already had this hair, no one commented then, and it's mildly disturbing (to me, as someone with only passing familiarity with a comb, never mind gel or a brush) that so many feel the need to comment on it now. It's a hairstyle people, not even a color change like Dora's.
Either way I like it. And GOD Jeph your art has gotten outstanding.
That was a spur of the moment decision, and Marten clearly was uncomfortable the whole time. Seemed almost double when Dora got involved. Can't really blame him for not wanting to invite Tai anywhere in that case...
Nrrdcon also seemed spur of the moment - Tai invited him because he asked about it, not necessarily because she was planning on inviting him. (Though it could have gone the same way if Marten had brought up Dora's moving at work too).
What surveys? I don't remember that. And as far as using the copy room to bang...I'm not certain that really qualifies as social outings.
Sorry, my point was more that if Tai does invite Marten and co. out, it seems more spur of the moment, not necessarily because she thinks of them. So why should Marten be expected to think of her?
Holy bovine, stop obsessing over her hair people. She's had the hairstyle for months. It's just that she had no glasses on.

And Canada was completely unharmed in the war. Even at Niagara, only the American falls were destroyed. St John's is gone, though. Hey, there's always San Diego!
That should have been Fritz, not Garfield
A solid gold lawn would be horrible! Like thousands of golden needles poking out waiting for someone to trip into them via a loose piece of sidewalk.Pure gold is so soft that anyone falling on the needles would just flatten them. Gold has to be alloyed (usually with copper) to make it hard enough to stand up to use in jewellery. More entertaining would be a molten gold moat :evil:. But the electricity bill would be horrendous. :-o

Northampton to Chelmsford? That's pretty damn impressive... for a Roomba anyway.:? iRobot is based in Bedford, and Jeph lives in EASThampton. One down from both of your places. On another note, it's always weird looking at Eastern states- do you guys have a county per city or something? And Massachusetts looks downright reasonable compared to, say, Georgia.
Agent Turing ... So you're thinking of previous robot mating activity (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=147)?
and Jeph lives in EASThampton.
Ok, frack me. I checked and saw that Jeph lives in Easthampton, and as far as I recalled the characters lived in the same, but alternate history, place that he did. Damn.and Jeph lives in EASThampton.Marten doesn't.
I want a baby roomba.
What if he was... John Ellicott, aka Hanner's DAD?
Like cute cocaroaches!
clone!Hannerdad?What if he was... John Ellicott, aka Hanner's DAD?
Nah, he looks too young to be Hannerdad.
Doesn't Hannerdad live on a space station anyway?
St. John's still is a party place? (Never been there, just remember one character making plans to go there and raise hell in a novel I read in the seventies—called it "Sin John's.")I'm pretty sure all of Newfoundland is a party place. Even the tiny outport towns can be awesome party spots if you can find a kitchen party.
Well... Hanners never did say if she had any brothers or sisters...They'd have to be half-siblings: she said that she's her mother's only child in #1152.
Anyway - where does Pintsize get the money? I'm presuming he's got some sort of internet business going on.Who'd you think spams all those "Widow of ex-President Oojeeboojo needs your help" e-mails? And he's subverted all the badly-configured PCs in the world into a massively-parallel botnet to crack bank-account passwords. What? Did you really think your SETI@home screensaver was looking for little green men? Folding@home? Pintsize researching designer drugs. Rosetta@home? Aphrodisiacs.
Speaking from my personal experience, Tai is right. It does lose its appeal after a while. Sometimes you have to take a break.Aw man. I want some personal experience to evaluate her statements against!
After seeing Pintsize's enthused expression, "The Moon!" the next panel is kind of like finding out "Infinity" is the name of Buzz Lightyears's favorite whore at the bordello, and we've just cut to him going 'beyond.' I don't know why I had this reaction, but I did, and so, of course, I shared.I think I hate you now.
Five to one, (http://www.elyrics.net/read/d/doors-lyrics/five-to-one-lyrics.html) baby! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGHhqV_QhzE)What? I no understand. I music deficient.
I don't know but the last time it happened, a Geek Squad guy was heard whimpering "Oh God! The Horror! The Horror!" 12 (34.3%)Or movie fans. I didn't like Heart of Darkness; it was too blunt with it's imagery for me and there was too much of it, like a cheeseburger with ten slices of Gorgonzola.
Looks like we had some literary voters in yesterday's polling action.
New poll in a jiffy.
Anyway - where does Pintsize get the money? I'm presuming he's got some sort of internet business going on.Just...don't...ask. Don't.
Uhh... the way she's using it here, I'm not sure Tai knows what being "polyamorous" actually means. It's not like... something you DO. It's more of something you ARE. If she wants to settle down with one person eventually, but just hasn't had the opportunity to find that person yet, then she's not being poly, she's just being non-monogamous and casually dating multiple people at the same time. I know people who are poly and DO have what Marten has with Dora, or even more than that--they are married and 100%, head-over-heels, totally in love with and committed to their spouse--AND they also happen to have serious relationships in addition to their marriage.
Tai has always seemed to be more of a sexual opportunist than poly. She's indicated before that if she were in love with someone, she would not want to see anyone else or be able to have feelings for anyone else, which is pretty much the opposite of polyamory.
I don't do polyamory (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=728)
So in other words:
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means!"
"Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father! Prepare to die!"
She wants more than a devoted admirer to hold her hand and recite verses to her; and she has a foolish, pleasant trick of keeping to one woman at a time, which she may find inconvenient in a permanent relationship.So in other words:
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means!"
"Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father! Prepare to die!"
Hahah. Or in other words, "yo Tai, you're situationally non-monogamous, not poly."

Quote from: TaiI don't do polyamory (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=728)
I think Tai is just really crushing on Dora now, especially since marten talks about how awesome she is, she's jealous.Meh. So?
If they were present, Pintsize or Yelling Bird would probably have the answer to today's dilemma, and it would rhyme with gleesome (http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20020901.html).
Pronounce it any way you like. Most of the people who are plagued with it make it rhyme with teeth, but personally I think it sounds more picturesque when rhymed with breath.She wants more than a devoted admirer to hold her hand and recite verses to her; and she has a foolish, pleasant trick of keeping to one woman at a time, which she may find inconvenient in a permanent relationship.
Did you just compare Tai to Peter Death Bredon Wimsey?
I'd be surprised if Marten's internet connection has enough bandwidth for Pintsize to host a porn site. Though we have seen him selling sexy pictures before, to Hannelore.
I think Tai sees everyone around her settleing into some form or other of serious long term relationship and it's beginning to dawn on her she really has no-one worthwhile to 'Come Home to' so to speak and she's beginning to wonder if she's missing out here.
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means!"
"Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father! Prepare to die!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means!"
"Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father! Prepare to die!"
That would be ...
inconcsheivable!
Never mess with a Sicilian when death is on the line!
I believe it's
As you wish
Because you'd make a fabulous Dread Pirate Robert!
I started to make a comment about Tai's logic (the 'because' kind), yesterday, then hesitated, thinking I was being harsh. Now I wonder. I hope she's trying to be funny.
A jiffy is longer than a shake, shorter than a jusaminit, or at least I've always understood it to be so.
