Keepin' it light to start the week. (And if you have to ask "Cave in to what?", you haven't been paying attention.)
-
I'm not sure what particular caving is involved, but Marigold's definitely your huckleberry.
-
I'd say Hannelore, since I'm pretty sure she already has a headlamp. Also, depending on the cave they can be some of the cleanest natural places you'll find.
But seriously, cave into what? This is the third time this weekend that someone's asked a question they thought had an obvious answer and I didn't know.
-
They're a holding a Seinfeld-style masturbation contest.
-
Cave in to what?
-
(FACEPALM)
Sexual Frustration, fercryinoutloud.
-
lol, like the episode that was all 'I am Queen of the castle' 'Lord of the domain!'
Haha. Seinfeldwin.
-
George cheated.
-
Sexual Frustration, fercryinoutloud.
Well there's your problem. Sven is pretty clearly not sexually frustrated. In fact, I'd say he's depressed—which likely means, of course, he has a reduced sex drive. I also wouldn't call what Hanners is going through sexual frustration, either. Curiosity seems more like it. So that leaves Marigold, Faye and Angus, and Marigold is the only one who's recently expressed SF. And she's already caved.
-
Comic's up, and so the healing begins.
Or at least the smell begins to abate, either way, an improvement.
-
Master Pintsize would be proud of you young Padawan :-D
-
"Scatological Judo". I like that, for some reason.
-
Momo is steadily becoming my favorite QC character.
-
Momo's level "try me" stare looks great in profile.
-
I like how Marigold reached the obvious conclusion about Momo's tactics.
And her "OMG she'd really do it, would she?" look in panel 6.
-
Momo is steadily becoming my favorite QC character.

Scatological judo sounds, at best, disgusting. There's probably some Japanese pron that features it.
And I see that Marigold has indeed caved! I demand my foresight be acknowledged!
"petting MY GIANT DOG." Aheh aheh aheheheheh! … Sorry, can't help it.
-
No, she hasn't caved to PSL, she's caving to Momo's threat to tell Angus that she caved...
Momo is learning the delicate art of manipulation through blackmail, one of the more advanced levels of scatalogical judo.

PSL = Perverse Sexual Lust? Oh, come on? With Hanners on the list, it should be a no brainer! I mean, I'm sure Hanners has sex... with herself... in the shower... with cleaning products close at hand for afterward... But once you figure out that they can make "marital aids" out of just about anything, including materials that can be autoclaved (stainless steel, pyrex, etc.), the girl's goin' nuts. So to speak.

To the PSL question; it depends on whether you're talking character PSL or fan PSL. Character-type PSL tends to remain as fairly innocent innuendo between two characters, usually evolving into PMHP. Fan-type PSL tends to go to the completely opposite end of the spectrum, to the type of fetishes that you'll usually find on image boards like 4chan. If we're talking Character PSL then I'd have to go with Hannelore, for obvious reasons. But if we're talking Fan PSL, then I'd have to go with Faye, because I think she's the only one who'd be capable of murdering someone just for the sexual thrill, as a example. Don't get me wrong, I could see Hannelore easily murdering, like, everyone, but she probably wouldn't go orgasmic over it.
-
I disagree - in the QCverse, I don't see Hanners caving to PSL, her condition pretty much makes it impossible right now. Unless she's asleep... (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=723) heaven help the folks downstairs if she ever starts sleepwalking!
Faye, on the other hand, has already shown signs of caving during the Svenpocalypse, when she seriously considered calling him (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1377) (god, that took a long time to find...).
-
Momo is still looking out for Marigold's best interests. She is just doing it in the most interesting ways. :laugh:
Pocky is disgusting.
The only flavor that I really did not like was one that was heavily flavored with coffee. My favorites are chocolate with cookie bits and chocolate with coconut bits.

Well, yes.
No, she hasn't caved to PSL, she's caving to Momo's threat to tell Angus that she caved...
I was actually referring to my own post, which was made pre-quiz clarification, in which I declared Marigold most likely to cave. I should have added to anything. Sven seems too depressed to cave—you can't cave if you're not holding anything up (and European Medieval History is good reading to feed a depression. A Distant Mirror, for example, may be intriguing, but it sure isn't uplifting). Faye would refuse to cave just to be ornery—she'd wait until everyone's back was turned, then collapse, much like she did with Sven. Hanners, as Carl pointed out, can't cave, even if she wants to, to anything she isn't already freely going along with. And, despite the objections his merry detractors will no doubt raise, Angus has a spine in there somewhere. After all, a hetero male who doesn't cave to having his hand placed on a willing breast is probably fairly resilient.
On the other hand, all that's holding Marigold up is a framework of inexperience held together by wads of vaguely defined anxieties. A good gust of wind, or breeze of booze, as the case may be, and she flops (Trying to recall if Marten has ever given in to Pintsize, the MoSJ). Marigold simply has 'cave' written all over her at the moment.
It just occurred to me the title of today's comic should have been Use Your Opponent's Own Feces Against Him.
Edit: Faye caved when she kissed Sven as prelude to sex. Just to be clear. And, no, caving in is not always a bad thing.

Scatological judo... Would that be the redirection of someone else's shit?

...after two days in bed eating nothing but Pocky, she probably is a bit dehydrated. Granted, there's some moisture in the Pocky, but...
Also, considering what's underlying this slump, it would almost surprise me if she hasn't at least briefly been... yeah...
Dont use Abbrevations not even Wikipedia knows, please. (http://"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSL")
Dude, this is the webcomic community; we are the anti-Wikipedia. You wouldn't complain if someone used abbreviations such as "GPF," "EGS," "PVP," "PNP," "CRFH," "COTC," "DMFA," "S*P," "SP!," "IW!," "R&T," "P&A," "PA," etc., would you? How many of those (in the webcomic contexts) do you think are in Wikipedia?
-
I cast my poll vote based on the definition in the Urban Dictionary, which seems not to be what everyone is talking about.
-
Oh My GOD. Is Jeph setting up for a Marigold/Sven relationship?! I don't believe it. That just is not going to work.
-
Marigold did the right thing when she met Sven, i. e. run away as quickly as possible.
But she accidentally kept his book though, that could be trouble.
Oh My GOD. Is Jeph setting up for a Marigold/Sven relationship?! I don't believe it. That just is not going to work.
Either that, or we have just witnessed the seminal moment in the history of the IHFWAofA*

Pocky is disgusting.
I like the "Men's Pocky".... but twitchy about eating it in public. I'm female... and 6 feet tall with broad shoulders and a deep voice, I get "sir"-ed a lot when people only get a glance out of the corner of their eyes. Then they look square at me and apologize frantically: I also am, er, naturally quite well-endowed, and have a feminine face. But still feels like I'm tempting fate (or a label as a drag queen) by eating Men's Pocky!
-
Suppose I should send an e-mail to Mythbusters asking them to test whether a person could actually severely dehydrate themselves in such a fashion?
Such a heavy burden to test such a thing out, but I'm sure those guys would be up for it.
A relationship between Marigold and Sven wouldn't have to work to be funny, but yeah, I'm sure being smacked in the face with a book is an immediate precursor to OMGSMEX. :-P I love Momo's expressions in panels 5 and 6, mwahaha.
Maybe Jeph just wanted Sven back in the mix of characters again. Fine by me, and let the hijinks begin!
PS: Men's Pocky sounds . . . potentially perverted. Please tell me I'm picturing it wrong.
-
Yay for Momo-tan's facial expressions.
Faye was worried that she'd turned Sven on to nerdy zaftig brunettes with unmet needs (1161).
An expert manipulator would have kept the book on purpose to make Sven chase after her, but that seems way out of character for Marigirl. Does she just cling to books in moments of stress?
How much does Sony charge for an HPC-4100x? They seem like wise purchases.
-
If sleeping with Sven after several years of celibacy weirded Faye out, I fear that sleeping with him after a lifetime of never having kissed a guy, before Angus, will destroy Marigold. :-o
-
Scatological judo... Would that be the redirection of someone else's shit?
Scatological Wing Chun would give a whole new meaning to "sticky hands"...
In tonight's strip we get to see that a hoodie is useful as well as unstylish.
-
Sven should consider his actions from this point on very carefully.
If he gets involved with Marigold, and he handles a (merely hypothetical at this point, but almost certainly inevitable) break up with the same maturity that he did with Faye, Dora's reaction (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1347) to that fiasco will be just a found memory compared to what Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1416) will do to him.
-
To quote a QC character (Raven, I think), if Sven hurts Marigold someone will kill Sven so hard he will die from it.

-
Helluva thing to get hit in the schnozz with, the Crusades. Just ask Richard I, Frederick Barbarossa, and now Marigold. Oh and the washer-women. Can't forget the washer-women.
I hope Momo hasn't been damaged, 'cause I somehow think Marigold might try a mite of reprogramming if she has opportunity. Scruples? Who has time for scruples when you're trying to haul your hole in after you?
-
Oh.
Oh no.
I've a distinct feeling that this may end with a massive murder-suicide leaving only the Anthro-PCs and the Roomba family alive.
On the other hand, Momo's face is hilarious.
-
Should be interesting... :-D
the 2 WoW players may finally meet. I do not anticipate a ship between them but I think its great that she is unintentionally branching out.

That's fond memory, not found memory
Damn this stupid keyboard.
Yeah, it's the keyboard that's the problem.
*edit* Gawdammit, I give up. From now on ya'll'll just have to deal with the typos as they lay.
-
I DO NOT (and desperately hope not) think that Jeph will make a Mari-Sven thing.... that's just not going to happen. Marigold doesn't have enough "umph" for Sven and probably couldn't handle such an intense/dramatic relationship for her first relationship. Also, I think Sven wants more.... hygiene, etc in a girl than what Mari can offer.
About the book thing, I don't think she did it on purpose, I just think she was embarrassed about running into someone and ran off so she wouldn't have to be in the (what she would perceive it as) awkward situation. Remember when she got the bloody nose at the anime convention??? Same stuff. I just think this is a way of bringing Sven back into the storyline: goes to Dora/Faye/coffee shop telling some funny story about how some chick stole his book, and Marigold somehow get's mentioned, "Oh wait that's the same chick, hahahaha.." etc.... you know..
I''m excited to see Sven return to the storyline, but I'm still torn between Sven+Faye verses Angus+Faye...

Your memory is correct, it was strip 799, threatening Faye.

PSL wtf? Hang on before y'all flame me lemme google it
-
I never understood the comedy routine where someone reads something and walks into other people. I do that from time to time, but I don't suddenly turn blind.
-
oh god if faye gets with angus and sven gets with marigold its like they got with nerdier and more mild mannered versions of each other.
-
Oh, I forgot. *buckles J.C. Penny belt after putting it through all the loops* Pant's'll stay up for sure now.
Hello Mr. Miyagi
Marigold and Sven?! Oh HELL no!!
I wonder if she'll read that book now. :-D
-
Err what ? I always thought being attractive doesnt help men.
I'm quite attractive, as many people have told me over the years (mind, I never ask it myself, sometimes people tell me and I cant really complain about what I see in the mirror) and I never was under the impression it helps me with women.
And I know other men who are really not that good looking, but have no trouble finding women. Thats because they're confident.
Thats why I dont understand this Sven arc, really.
-
I wonder if she'll read that book now. :-D
I'm guessing this. Then I'm guessing she tries to find the owner. Then I'm guessing some possible Sven + Marigold stuff happens.
Guessing...(and hoping a little)
-
kdsjgklagh!!! i havent been on the forum in months but i had to come and say if marigold and sven hookup...well, there's nothing i can say or do and i obviously won't stop reading. but for the record i am SOOOO opposed and am filing a formal complaint! :p
-
First off, LOL @ Monday's comic.
Second, oh dear god please don't let Momo kill Sven...
-
Between Faye, Dora, Hanners and Momo, Sven better hope this encounter ends with Sven losing his book and remarking "What a strange encounter."
Somehow, I don't think that is likely to be the outcome.
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh I got it!
Sven's horribly mutilated corpse is found in the dumpster behind Coffee of Doom and the next 1000 pages of QC take the form of a murder mystery cliff-hanger!!!!!!
It'll be the "Who Shot J. R." of the Webcomic world!
If you are old enough to actually remember what that means, salud!

Where on earth did that comment come from? Is it just me or is that an extremely out of the blue musing? Cause I was reading through the thread and I don't follow the train of thought.
But in any case, I think hell yeah being attractive helps men. Of course, dude needs some personality to back it up and/or work it.
I'm so glad Sven's back in the storyline. This comic doesn't have enough men in it.
-
Of course it came "out of the blue"; we're talking about the COMIC here, right ? And it was a comment about the content of the comic. I just dont buy it that theres a dude who just looks good and ignored ladies and still gets ladies attention. I never saw anything like this happen in reallife.

I see that kind of stuff happen all the time. Happens with girls as well - in fact in some circles being unavailable makes someone more attractive. If you have not had a conversation with someone it can be hard to judge whether they are particularly confident or not, so looks are all you have to go on when approaching a potential mate in this manner.
EDIT: Wait I just realised Momo is using Marigold's hair like reins and her face in panel three is fantastic as well as the aftershock of the bump. Damn this is a good one.
-
And your poll results:
Who Caves In First To PSL (PERVERSE SEXUAL LUST)?
Sven - 6 (13.3%)
Faye - 9 (20%)
Angus - 6 (13.3%)
Marigold - 17 (37.8%)
Hannelore - 7 (15.6%)
Total Voters: 45
And now, the REAL fun begins.
-
Upon reading today's comic, only one thought pervaded my mind, and it is that one thought that I believe should sum up the entirety of this strip, the possible outcomes of this strip, and my opinion.
"Oh, shit."
Of course there was a brief wtf moment in the MIDDLE of reading, but that's neither here nor there.
-
So it will all end with an unsatisfying "It was all a dream" explanation?
WRONG!!!
That was when they killed Bobby, J. R. was shot in real life.
Or whatever qualifies for real life within the storyline of a weekly Television drama.
He didn't die though.
And I'm not really old enough to remember Dallas, I was just a small fry... but my parents were really into it, you know, back then.
My youngest brother was almost named J. R., but after they saw the show, my parents decided that J. R. was kind-of an asshole, so his middle initial is 'C'.
That's probably way more than you guys wanted to know.
I should stop typing and post already.
-
Suddenly I'm put in mind of my cousin who is a former-Sven-type. He was good looking, smart, confident, funny, going to medical school, drove a Porsche, etc... He dated a series of model-beautiful women in his early years. Then he met a lady who, while pretty, wasn't The Type you saw him with normally. She didn't put him with any of his crap. They've been married for almost 20 years now.
-
...not to be harsh, but can you wait until the two share more than six words before you wish death on him for doing something to her?

Unfortunately Marigirl does not have the emotional maturity or the relationship experience to stand up for herself if Sven started back to his wondering ways.
Marigold, in the state she's in now, would probably let Sven (or anyone for that matter) walk all over her.
And while I would like to think that Sven has learned enough from his encounters with Faye to not take advantage if he got into a relationship with a weaker person, the reality is that he would probably treat her slightly better than a doormat, and then dump her the minute she started showing signs of vertabratism.
...not to be harsh, but can you wait until the two share more than six words before you wish death on him for doing something to her?
Good point. Nothing has happened between Sven and Marigold--yet.
That doesn't mean we can't start combining their names already (Mariven?)
-
I like Sverigold better. Also this is the smallest universe ever.
-
Jeph is probably cackling with glee at our fan wanking.
-
Their names don't lend themselves to portmanteau, therefore I cannot ship them. :roll:
They might be good for each other though, friendwise.

EDIT: Wait I just realised Momo is using Marigold's hair like reins and her face in panel three is fantastic as well as the aftershock of the bump. Damn this is a good one.
After a second reading, I realized Momo was riding Marigold like a pony too, which just bumps up the level of awesome of this strip. In fact, in panel 3, Momo seems to be reacting to the imminent impact -- I guess she didn't have time to warn Marigold, though. I wonder where Marigold will end up running . . . CoD seems unlikely, since Angus hangs out there, but who knows. It'd be great if we got to see the comics shop she usually goes to (HAVE we already seen that? if so, I don't remember).
For the record, I don't think Marigold and Sven are gonna hook up. Their personalities don't really mesh. Although they do have at least two things in common: being depressed following a relationship misadventure, and playing WoW. If Sven isn't already in her guild, maybe he'll join.
-
Countdown to Sven mangafication is on!
-
Heh. Marigold's memories of Sven will turn him into some manner of manga pretty-boy no doubt. Maybe even spawn imaginings of Svensuke/Marchiro make-outs....

Hmm... Sven, Marten, Angus, Wil and Pintsize as a sentai team fighting crime in NeoNorthampton. Sort of like a bishonen Sailor Moon. Yeah, this could work...

Sven doesn't have this excuse, but...
I'm extraordinarily nearsighted (about -12 diopters in each eye), and my small, strong glasses worn close to the eye actually reduce my field of vision quite a bit (in addition to making everything curve near the edges, so I live in a non-euclidean space). I don't read when I walk anymore, for the simple reason that I bump not only into people, but trees, fire hydrants, and the occasional building.
Oh, and if you really want to be scared, I've got just enough vision to legally drive...

Thank you for being more blind than me. I'm -8 in each eye, which is the worst of anyone in my family. And a double thank you for using the proper terminology! My optometrist said he treated up to -14, but I'm not sure that person could drive.
-

YES! (Refresher: I detest the couple portmanteau with a passion bordering upon holy. If I ever find the miserable ass who first popularized them, I will piss on his/her shoes.)
Oh, and if you really want to be scared, I've got just enough vision to legally drive...
As long as you don't have a wretched cellphone clapped to your ear. Those mouthbreathing morons scare the piss out of me, and I just know I'll encounter one immediately before I find the couple portmanteau originator.
As an aside, I'm almost tempted to ship Marigold and Sven for sheer perversity's sake. In any case, if they do become a couple, I'm fairly sure it won't be because Marigold is subconsciously confident things will end in catastrophe. Actually, I think—man, I just had a brilliant idea! It's so good that I'm not going to post it; I won't risk not getting to see this. Yes, it's that good.

PS: Men's Pocky sounds . . . potentially perverted. Please tell me I'm picturing it wrong.
... yeah, does sound like it should have tentacles at the very least, doesn't it? That's the other reason it wierds me out a bit to eat it in public. But no, it's just regular Pocky but with dark chocolate instead of milk. Tasty. And makes people give you odd looks when they see the box, particularly if you're female.

I'll just leave this here.

The current trend to small glasses is making me hold on to my current frames as long as humanly possible.
I think I'm up to 6 years or so... let's see, I got these when I stepped on my old green frames while waiting for psychology to start, and I took that in fall 2003...
Dang. 6.5 years.
Without my glasses, I can see my car as a blue blobby thing from 20 feet away. Dunno my prescription offhand, though I do have it checked regularly.
Of course, for reading, I generally prefer to have my glasses *off*. Which is why I don't read while walking.
I realized Momo was riding Marigold like a pony too
Not to get into creepy robosexual stalker territory here, but I think I've seen that used as a euphemism ONE TIME TOO MANY. Now my brain hurts. Thanks so much, Heliphyneau.

Another "Momo's faces awesome" vote!
um, Tuitsuro, i assume that's just a 'normal' ad for men's pocky... somewhere in this bizarre world? >_< Culture/brain shock!
"Oh, and if you really want to be scared, I've got just enough vision to legally drive..." um, Carl, you're nowhere near NJ, are you?
Sven/Marigold?? In a word: No.
Ok, given Jeph's creativity & dedication to NOT doing what we'd expect, I've given up on predicting the strip, but these two??
They're like the definition of "Unlikely Pairing!" He's at the top of the Attractiveness Rating scale (in the QCverse) and she...
(despite my attraction to zaftig female asocial misfit pc/web/WoW nerds) ...has already gotten derisive comments on this forum, from those parroting the social norm judgementality.
This development reminds me of MegaTokyo when the shy girl got Piro's notebook and (obsessed) kinda tried to return it, but...

What?
Is this showing how Marigold doesn't know how to interact with people, or what? I don't understand why she's so....zombified over this. Mortified?
-
I thought that was Marten for a while, and I was wondering when he got so cheeky. Eventually it occurred to me to wonder when he bought earrings and grew breasts, but that moment would have come much faster with sleep.
-
Dear god, Marigold is fucking terribly socially inept.
-
Is this showing how Marigold doesn't know how to interact with people, or what? I don't understand why she's so....zombified over this. Mortified?
I do believe she is quite mindfucked. Somewhere in the back of her brain, a little voice is saying 'El número que ha marcado ha sido desconectado.' Yes, it is in poorly-translated Spanish, and no one knows why.
-
This strip would be even funnier if Dora didn't know Marigold's been through trauma already.
"Whatever you do," Dora tweets later, "avoid The Crusades. A person I know read something in it that actually threw her into shock."
Next tweet. "No, I don't know what. I got enough problems without being traumatized by a freaking book."
I see that Momo is able to move, but silent. I still wonder if she's been damaged.
"'enry 'iggens" is simply bubbling in my brain at the moment.
-
Looks like I'm about a day late (bad timing in checking/refreshing the comic), but I have to wonder if I'm the only one getting a Ben and Me flashback from Momo riding around in Marigold's hoodie and trying to keep her out of trouble?
"Post, Ben, post!"
"Oh, hello Mr. Post--"

Can you actually return books in the USA just because you don't like them, as opposed to returning them because they have pages missing or something? It would be awesome if we could do that, especially because books are so expensive in Australia.
-
Hmm I dont know for germany. I never tried that one. Then again, when I buy a book, I usually have made sure I like it.
-
Funnily enough, my local library not only lets me return books I don't like, but also demands I return the ones I do like. Remember where Dora's boyfriend works.
Edit: Would you believe they have the gall to charge me if I try to hang on to something I enjoy? Kiljoys, those librarians.

Hmmm... I can see that... Secret headquarters under the CoD...
Dora = Sylia Stingray?
Faye = Priss Asagiri?
Hanners = Linna Yamazaki?
Marigold = Nene Romanova?
Marten = Nigel (with the whole triangle thing with Sylia and Priss)?
Is it just me, or does Momo riding in Marigold's hoodie like that remind you of Yoda on Luke?
Or Master on Blaster (http://www.motifake.com/image/demotivational-poster/0908/master-blaster-mad-max-road-warrior-beyond-thunderdome-maste-demotivational-poster-1249557911.jpg) from "Beyond Thunderdome".
Hmmmmm Dora and Faye as Sylia and Priss - Interesting possibilities. :-D
Yes, but how would Marigold do in Thunderdome?
-
Before or after the dome was cleaned up?

I'll just leave this here.

She's stunned - after all the crap with Angus, she's been bumped into by a stunningly good looking guy (who actually has a sheen, if I recall). In her anime-fueled world, this will all end in tentacles tears!
I'd be stunned, too.

I'm assuming it was a library book. I mean, Sven, even in his most morose state, wouldn't go to Borders or Barnes & Noble and actually BUY a book about the Crusades.

Why not? He can afford it.

Brains don't work right with low blood sugar. Marigirl is malnourished. That would screw her up even if she weren't already in curl-up-and-die mode.
She may also be alive enough to realize she blew it with a cute guy. She's felt bad enough about that in the past to tweet about it.
-
Can you actually return books in the USA just because you don't like them, as opposed to returning them because they have pages missing or something?
Generally yes, as long as you have the receipt and it's within 30 days or so. Most chain bookstores will take a book back no questions asked as long as it's still in new condition.
-
Why not? He can afford it.
Because as a rule no one but whackos like me buy history books. Biographies, maybe, but not 'straight' history. If you look in the 'for sale, quick' bin at your local book store, histories usually predominate—except on or near college campuses, where the some of the teeming are forced to buy them.
Just do a quick count of people who've gotten rich writing fiction or biographies, or even describing current events, compared to all the wealthy historians out there, and the picture becomes clearer.
Brains don't work right with low blood sugar. Marigirl is malnourished. That would screw her up even if she weren't already in curl-up-and-die mode.
I'd forgotten about that. You're right—when my meter tells me my sugar is 'X'* or lower, I can't handle much of anything. If I'm moving around, I even shake like Marigold's doing in the first panel. And I make bad, bad decisions, like thinking I'm not hungry, why should I eat anything? Of course, I know (or at least assume) Marigold's not diabetic, but I also assume the principle is the same in extreme cases, like subsisting on candy covered sticks for two days before fasting outright.
*Having discussed this with others with my ailment, the actual number seems to vary from person to person.

I realized Momo was riding Marigold like a pony too
Not to get into creepy robosexual stalker territory here, but I think I've seen that used as a euphemism ONE TIME TOO MANY. Now my brain hurts. Thanks so much, Heliphyneau.
Scarily enough, I didn't even mean it as a euphemism. Sorry 'bout that! When I hurt people's brains, I prefer to intend it. :wink:
Regarding the Men's Pocky, I'm with Carl-E -- dark chocolate seems more like something a woman would want. Something I can attest to (heh) since I am one. That sumo dude is hilariously awful though. Maybe 'Men's Pocky' should be bacon-flavored. I mean, if the product must adhere to a gender stereotype, why not go for it?
I . . . don't actually care where Sven got his book. Though it would be too coincidental if he'd borrowed it from the Smif library where Marten works since Sven's not even a student anymore (I suppose it's possible that his intern took the book out for him to make him do something other than mope and play WoW, but . . . eh). Whether it's through library records, a receipt stashed in the book, or simply Sven following her, Jeph will connect him with Marigold soon enough Considering Marigold's grip-and-run technique, Sven's lucky to still have both arms. :-D

Of course it came "out of the blue"; we're talking about the COMIC here, right ? And it was a comment about the content of the comic. I just dont buy it that theres a dude who just looks good and ignored ladies and still gets ladies attention. I never saw anything like this happen in reallife.
It happens.
We women are also human, we are drawn to pretty things. If we meet a handsome man, we stop and stare and he gets our attention same as men with a pretty girl. Now then, if we start to talk to him and realize he's clingy/insecure/whiny/stupid/boring, we may well lose interest (not all of us though, and some will stay around just to fuck 'im if he's just stupid rather than clingy or whiny).
Not all women will throw themselves at someone who's ignoring them, but some might. Especially as if Sven is ignoring the girl, he's not being clingy or insecure or creepy, which are the three biggest turn-offs: he's being deep and mysterious and preoccupied with Lofty Personal Things.

I bought 3 history books just the other day.
Okay, one's a biography and one's a whole bunch of little biographies. But the third one is straight-up history!

LOL clingy is THAT bad ? LOL
I would have thought for women who look for a long time relationship clingy wouldnt be exactly a bad quality in a man.
But apparently even those types still want the kind of man who "just goes out to get cigarettes" and never come back without a second thought instead.

Clingy generally equals insecure, jealous and controlling.

Clingy means clingy.
If you mean insecure, jealous and/or controlling, then say so.
People can be nice, tolerant, supportive AND clingy.
-
Fist off, no, you cannot be clingy and NOT be insecure. They are two sides of the same coin.
Second, in guys, clingy bleeds over VERY easily into creepy. If you've just met the guy and he's ALREADY following you around like a puppy and/or gushing praise and/or trying to make plans for the next two weeks, that just makes you want to scream "back off! and leave me alone! you don't even know me!" Remember that we girls have to deal with slightly different shit than you guys do. We're very sensitive to the whole clingy/creepy/jealous/stalker continuum, because the stakes are rather higher for us. If a guy trips our signals on that wavelength, we run. But with clingy, usually best-case scenario is that the dude is insecure, and that's not attractive either.
Mind you, I can be clingy. And that's one of my worst qualities relationship-wise. And yes, my clingy comes from insecure. Think Dora. But I try to keep it in check.
Anyway, with my own damages, I wouldn't mind a guy to be codependent with--but this is only after we've actually gotten to know each other and established a deeper emotional connection. And I would like someone who'd be emotionally open and commit to me and all that--but the thing is, someone who clings to you right off the bat usually isn't even into YOU, but whatever idea of you he's constructed in his head, and that's all sorts of deeply uncomfortable. Someone who seems aloof at first meeting gives off the signal of "I'm not gonna smother you or hold you up to some imaginary standard of perfection and then be disappointed that you aren't my imaginary version of you down the line," and so can actually be more appealing. Or at least more safe.

No, I was making a point—that Dora would think 'library book' because her boyfriend works at one. Marten's name was rather inconsequential to the Dora-centric assertion I was building, and so he got the boot. It's called rhetter riteror fancy talk. Oh, and the 'main character' status is a little debatable. Faye headlines about as much (she passed Marten at one point), with Hanners breathing down their necks.
Duct Tape - the universal tool :-D
As Mojo reminds us, Red Green is the universal tool. The man's a tool in any situation, as it were.
And I hope Dora splurges for the genuine stuff. The Fred's knock-off, for example, will neither hold as strongly nor be as painful coming off*. I like Faye well enough, but she needs to learn when to zip it. Nothing like ducking the mouth to make that point.
*Naturally, I'm assuming that last point.

...end with Sven killed by Hannelore for hurting Marigold - 5 (5.7%)
...end with Faye killing both of them - 5 (5.7%)

indeed.

duct tape enhances clingy. wd-40 is what fixes clingy.

Whoa Dora, duct tape? That's not cool. I mean, masking tape or packaging tape maybe, but duct tape really, really hurts. Really. :-( Especially since she was pulling Marigold out of her funk, even if it was in her own way.

-
usually best-case scenario is that the dude is insecure, and that's not attractive either.
I can certainly understand the part about people who move too fast, but for the rest of your point, in short:
Guy who's insecure because he hates the idea of being arrogant about himself and considers humility a good trait, therefore is willing to admit when he's wrong and unlikely to ever stray = red flag.
Guy who's "clingy" after knowing the person, but really that word's sole function is to demonize those who appreciate what they have and are always there for the person instead of fitting the "social norm" of cheating, betraying and lying = red flag.
Guy who's overly confident (which we all know is really just another word used to describe the same trait as arrogance when one wants to make it seem justifiable because the person is physically attractive) and therefore much more likely to cheat, is loud, brash, annoying, and less likely to be sensitive towards the partner's feelings or care about being there for them because he's too busy fitting the male stereotype = not a red flag.
-
I don't know why, but the last choices on the new poll reminds me of one of my grandfather's favorite jokes. I'd post a link if I could fnd it somewhere, but...
An old deli owner was wiping out the return bottles (did I mention this was an old joke?). Suddenly, a genie pops out of one of them, and tells the old man that he can have anything he wants. The old man says, "You know, I haven't had a vacation in the 20 years since I opened the deli. I think I'd like a vacation!"
The genie says, "Consider it done. Everything you need is already taken care of. Your bags are packed, and a car's waiting to take you to the airport, and you can fly wherever you please, stay in the fnest hotels, and enjoy the finest cuisine."
The old man says, "That's great, but who's going to run the deli while I'm gone?"
The genie says, "I will".
The old man looks at him, and says "You? What do you know abut running a deli? How do I know you can do it?"
"Try me!"
"OK, make me a malted".
"POOF! You're a malted."
:laugh:
I still do this one with my wife, whenever she asks me to make her something to eat... she never laughs.

Milk chocolate is probably one of the most frequently seen chocolate in Switzerland. After looking at Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_chocolate#Classification), I'm a bit confused about the difference of dark chocolate and couverture, but you can buy chocolate with 70% and 85% cocoa at department stores and they produce stuff with 90% and 99%, but I haven't seen them irl yet.

Um, no. Insecure != modest or humble. TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Neither does "faithful"="insecure." Ohmygod.
Guy who's "clingy" after knowing the person, but really that word's sole function is to demonize those who appreciate what they have and are always there for the person instead of fitting the "social norm" of cheating, betraying and lying = red flag.
Still no. Appreciative, affectionate, and attached !=clingy. And wtf kind of world do you live in where cheating and lying are social norms?!
Guy who's overly confident (which we all know is really just another word used to describe the same trait as arrogance when one wants to make it seem justifiable because the person is physically attractive) and therefore much more likely to cheat, is loud, brash, annoying, and less likely to be sensitive towards the partner's feelings or care about being there for them because he's too busy fitting the male stereotype = not a red flag.
Yeahhhhhh... confident or "not smothering" doesn't equal any of that. Although even if it did: the point is, if the guy turns out to be an arrogant jerk, you can LEAVE him. The scary thing about clingers is that they won't let you leave.
And honestly, look, if you can't tell the difference between insecure vs modest, clingy vs loving, or arrogant vs confident, then THAT's a giant red flag. Like, you have just kind of made me uncomfortable because I'm creeped out that in your world, one can't be loving without being clingy, faithfulness somehow depends on or goes along with insecurity, and any display of confidence=automatic asshole (who you of course look down on sneeringly from your Sensitive Unappreciated Nice Guy vantage point).

I'm pretty sure I'm not reading that the way you meant it. Though as far as I know there isn't much dark or milk chocolate in Switzerland, except maybe in diplomatic circles.
Hmm, I re-read my own post and I did leave open the possibility for individual variation: "dark chocolate seems more like something a woman would want." Different people have different tastes, and I know plenty of women who like milk chocolate, and even that atrocity white "chocolate," but most of the dark chocolate enthusiasts I know are female. It'd be interesting to see how that preference breaks down worldwide, but I don't have the bucks to fund a global science experiment on chocolate, more's the pity. I'm a bit weirded out by the notion that there isn't much milk or dark chocolate in Switzerland, but I expect that's more a matter of semantics, as Dliessmgg pointed out. 99% cacao content pretty much equals unsweetened, though, and I'm not so hardcore into chocolate that I can eat that.
The "clingy" debate raging on in here seems laregly borne of semantics as well, and while I'm not prepared to say "all men are like _____" or "all women are like _____", I will say that men who are more inclined to be very controlling and jealous are more likely to be the ones who kill their girlfriends to prevent said girlfriends from ever leaving them, even with as small a trigger as her looking admiringly at another guy. Most "clingy" people eventually get over their insecurities enough to respect other people's boundaries -- it's just a matter of growing up and learning to trust -- but the worst-case scenario does exist. (Reading police files on spousal/partner abuse and murders = very depressing.)
Back to the strip, I wonder who will walk in and see Dora duct-taping Faye first, Marten, Angus, or Sven. Or maybe they'll all show up and run into Dale, who will be back for yet another absurd coffee confection. I'm actually kind of hoping Momo will notice the Tyrannospresso. ^_^
-
The only really interesting thing about the 'clingy' debate (and need I remind anyone that one person's 'clingy' may be the next's affectionate; one person's modest, the next's insecure; one person's confident, the next's arrogant; and so on?) is this:
The scary thing about clingers is that they won't let you leave.
(My, these clingers must be powerful indeed, if they can immobilize one…)
Followed by this:
Mind you, I can be clingy.
Sounds like a threat.
...nor be as painful coming off*.
*Naturally, I'm assuming that last point.
You mean you're still wearing it?
Uf ourse ot.

Here, let me help you with that... [RIIIIIIIIP!]
Umm, you weren't really attached to the moustache, were you?
I mean, as soon as the bleeding stops, I'm sure it'll grow back.
Oh, and I have to agree - clingy is in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes what starts out appearing as caring and attentive can become clingy over time. The reverse however is rarely true!
-
To weigh in on the Great Clingy Debate of 2010, it's clear that people here have different definitions and scales for 'clingy'. It's kinda disturbing that some are equating it with 'stalker', though. That's like saying a cat is a lion. The cat has a claw stuck in your shirt; the lion a claw stuck in your ribcage.
Though as far as I know there isn't much dark or milk chocolate in Switzerland, except maybe in diplomatic circles.

I guess that I should have mentioned that when I was talking about chocolate, I wasn't talking about chocolate. Africa mostly has dark and milk chocolate, with some white in the South. Europe seems to be concerned that they have too much milk chocolate. America likes to say that all its chocolate has been put in a blender; Canada that it's been laid out in a mosaic. Am I being less subtle now? I guess I should have added a :-P or :evil: emoticon before.
Or did you get the subtext and I missed the meaning of the laugh emoticon?
-
To weigh in on the clingy debate I do agree that there are different varieties of clingy however I have to say that as a woman I find cliny men to be much more threatening than clingy women. Eventually a clingy woman will (in most cases) leave with her proverbial tail between her legs when reprimanded by a guy for being clingy. Whereas a clingy man may become viloent if he is the scary, stalker sort of clingy.
Aslo as to this:
Guy who's overly confident (which we all know is really just another word used to describe the same trait as arrogance when one wants to make it seem justifiable because the person is physically attractive) and therefore much more likely to cheat, is loud, brash, annoying, and less likely to be sensitive towards the partner's feelings or care about being there for them because he's too busy fitting the male stereotype = not a red flag.
I reply that many overly confident or rather genuinely confident, men/women do not cheat. Sometimes arrogance or perceived arrogance is a product of insecurity and therefore leads to a man (or woman) cheating in order to feel more desirable.

About the latest comic-'bout time someone muzzled Faye. In fact, it's way past time.
About the clingy debate-from the guy's side, I think it would be helpful for more guys to realize what it means when a girl judges a guy as "clingy", and is constantly trying to get away from him; it means she does not like him, is not attracted to him, and probably never will be. It would therefore behoove such a guy to go find himself a girl who's NOT trying to run away from him. No point trying to change the mind of the girl who thinks you're clingy, just go find someone else who doesn't think so.
I pity the guys who take years to learn this simple truth. Girls too.

Of course it came "out of the blue"; we're talking about the COMIC here, right ? And it was a comment about the content of the comic. I just dont buy it that theres a dude who just looks good and ignored ladies and still gets ladies attention. I never saw anything like this happen in reallife.
Especially as if Sven is ignoring the girl, he's not being clingy or insecure or creepy, which are the three biggest turn-offs: he's being deep and mysterious and preoccupied with Lofty Personal Things.
"Lofty Personal Things".
Sometimes I wish forums had "like" buttons. Or perhaps a "give eprops" function.
I agree that insecure does not always equal faithful, and that sometimes the insecure are even more likely to cheat.
-
To weigh in on the Great Clingy Debate of 2010, it's clear that people here have different definitions and scales for 'clingy'. It's kinda disturbing that some are equating it with 'stalker', though. That's like saying a cat is a lion. The cat has a claw stuck in your shirt; the lion a claw stuck in your ribcage.
Though as far as I know there isn't much dark or milk chocolate in Switzerland, except maybe in diplomatic circles.
:laugh:
Milk chocolate is probably one of the most frequently seen chocolate in Switzerland. After looking at Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_chocolate#Classification), I'm a bit confused about the difference of dark chocolate and couverture, but you can buy chocolate with 70% and 85% cocoa at department stores and they produce stuff with 90% and 99%, but I haven't seen them irl yet.
I guess that I should have mentioned that when I was talking about chocolate, I wasn't talking about chocolate. Africa mostly has dark and milk chocolate, with some white in the South. Europe seems to be concerned that they have too much milk chocolate. America likes to say that all its chocolate has been put in a blender; Canada that it's been laid out in a mosaic. Am I being less subtle now? I guess I should have added a :-P or :evil: emoticon before.
Or did you get the subtext and I missed the meaning of the laugh emoticon?
Let's say I did and mumble something about not posting after 11pm.

Ah yes, and they also always publish all bank accounts to the country of the account owners. Can somebody give me a hint why such things are posted in this thread ?
I still do this one with my wife, whenever she asks me to make her something to eat... she never laughs.
Well. I didnt laughed either. Seriously, what was supposed to be funny about it ? It was just weird.
Cliffhanger!!!!!!
Nah. Not much of one.

Focusing on Momo on this one:
Panel 1, Momo waving goodbye: touchingly cute.
Panel 2, Momo wondering why Marigold stopped: pretty cute.
Panel 3, Momo shocked by the sudden shake: darn cute and funny.
Panel 4, Momo looking at Dora's finger: cute and darn funny.
-
I have to give Jeph mega thumbs-up. This week of comics has literally had me laughing very hard at every single one. A couple have even made me randomly start laughing in the middle of the day just because I think about them.
I can't wait to find out if Dora and Faye just decided to join in the fun, or if there is more reason for their AAAAAHs. I feel Dora is just in it for the fun, whereas Faye's facial expression is much more one of shock. I don't remember, have her and Sven talked since their serious talk moment?
Also, much love for Marigold's facial expression in the last panel.
-
Cliffhanger!!!!!!
Nah. Not much of one.
Which is why that part's not in all caps.

Klingons. Good question if Klingons are clingy. At first I thought definitely no, but then I realized they do value family quite a lot.
About the whole debate, I disagree about it. I know I'm extremely clingy at the core. I'm also attractive (well, everyone tells me so) and I dont think I'm very insecure - only about the question which girl will hurt me and misuse my clingyness, so I'm not the type who falls in love easily. Because once I'm in love I'm so damn completely blackmailable.
-
I don't get the last panel. Why are Dora and Faye screaming? Is it really that shocking that Marigold's "book guy" was Sven?

Think Momo is regretting ever going for a Mari ride at this point?

(My, these clingers must be powerful indeed, if they can immobilize one…)
Worse than immobilising, sometimes they kill. Which isn't very funny.
-
What we have here is another case of, out of the ocean of words in English, people picking one and trying to make it serve for both itself and its comrades. Being 'clingy,' so far as I know, has never killed anything but a relationship unless it escalates into something else: stalking, forcibly controlling, and various other forms of possessive aggression. At which point the perpetrator is no longer simply 'clingy,' but, as I said, something else. Do stalkers kill? Yes. The same for people who insist on controlling the objects of their desire, obsession, and/or lust (I won't use affection, since no matter what such a perp might say, I don't feel there is any). But in engaging in these behaviors, they've stepped beyond 'clingy.'
On the other hand, I know one woman who complained her husband was becoming 'clingy' because at fifty-seven he stopped being out in a blind with a bangstick in his hand every weekend during deer season. She was ticked because that was when she hosted bunk-o (I have no idea how to spell that) parties for her female friends. They adjusted, though, and that was that. I've also known a woman who was described by her boyfriend as 'clingy' because she wanted them to stay at home instead attending various parties where booze was being served. This was after he'd done one stint in rehab for alcoholism.
Finally, someone who is 'clingy' may not want you to leave, but they cannot 'make' you stay. If they attempt this, they've moved 'up' into controlling, at the least. Hence my bridling at the term used for someone who 'won't let you leave.' It sounds as though some mystic force is being exerted by said clinger. If this was an attempt to indicate physical force, threats, or mental cruelty, then call it stalking, call it controlling or something else specific. But don't simply paint such a wide gamut of destructive behaviors as 'clingy.' If nothing else, to me, it terribly trivializes them, which is the last thing that should be done.

This cannot possibly end well.

Wait no Dora and Sven are siblings AUGH NEVERMIND
Hm? Dora and Sven are siblings?
I can't believe I forgot that...

Momo's head ran into the back of Mar-bear's head when Mari-chan ran into Sven.
Momo's face was spooshed into the CoD front door glass when Marigirl didn't take a big enough step in upon entry.
I hope Momo's still under warrantee.

More like a sidewalk curb than a cliff.

In the last few strips, Momo's expressions make a whole comic of its own.

I don't get the last panel. Why are Dora and Faye screaming? Is it really that shocking that Marigold's "book guy" was Sven?
Well, think about it. How long has it been since we last saw Sven?
-
I don't know, whenever I've seen a chocolate marketed to men, it's pretty much always been dark (Riesen, Men's Pocky, etc.). Probably has something to do with it being more bitter, less sickly-sweet than milk chocolate. And most of the women I know loathe dark chocolate.
-
"Hopefully I can make it to the restaurant without doing something retarded AGAIN."
Like, forgetting you were actually on your way to the grocery, f'rinstance? :-D
-
Nope, she wasn't going to the grocery: Panels 2 and 3. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1652)
-
OK, screams for everyone!
On the house!
Oh, and Faye and Dora are screaming because they know the old Sven. Of all the people Marigold could literally run into, and after all Faye's romantic comedy sass, they think it spells imminent disaster.
Meh, jokes are unfunny when explained.
*POOF*, you're a malted.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Upon first look, that is the funniest part. And then it's Momo's tiny adorable expressions. And then I look at the expressions, closely, in the last panel. There's the shock on Dora and Faye's faces (OMG AUGH SVEN IS THE BOY? OHNUUUU THE HORROR!!!!!!!) But Marigold's face. Look at it. She's all AHHHH NOT AGAIN TAKE IT, TAKE YOUR BOOK BACK I DON'T WANT IT LEMME ALONE! in the previous panel, and then it's all "...wait, WHAT NOW?!" because Dora and Faye are screaming... as if... as if they know something she doesn't know. Cue panic attack of being left out of the loop compounded by lack of real food, AND the trauma of smacking boobfirst into the assailant that is now, once again, right in front of her.
I'd feel bad if it wasn't so funny.
-
The worst cliffhanger for me, will Momo bite Dora's finger?
-
I can't decide - is Sven going "oh, fml" or "oh, wtf?"
-
Ha! Momo's expressions totally make the comic -- again! I particularly like the fact that she's right in front of the CoD skull pic. Panel 3 Momo is still making me giggle.
The "AAAAAAH!"s are pretty self-explanatory. Panel 4 Marigold seems to be wondering what's missed, and Sven just seems to be like "What did I do NOW?" I wonder if his eyebrows will ever recover and return to a lowered state.
And . . . anyone else want to see a Panel 5 with all of them Dragonball Z'ed out? All of them going "AAAAAAAAH!!" at once? 'Cause I totally do. ^_^

Does it make things better or worse that they are only half-siblings?
-
Their babies will only be half-mutants?
-
Half-siblings? I was pretty sure that both the Bianchis are the children of the Bianchis we met when Marty met the 'rents...
-
While I loved the idea of Mari and Angus, obviously that's not happening. So, I guess I'm for Mar-Bear and Sven now.
Maybe I just want Mari to be with someone, because she deserves it!
-
Marigold was arguing with Momo-tan about where to go eat, the argument wasn't resolved when the collision happened, and Marigirl always loses arguments with Momo-tan. Grocery, then.
-
I guess that was how my subconscious's logic was operating when I posted, but Schmorgluck is correct, Marigold's destination wasn't definitively established.
Oh well, post in haste, repent at leisure.
-
No, repent post-haste...

POD PEOPLE!!!!! :-D
This is definitely gonna be interesting. I wonder if Dora will reach for the Broadsword?
And yes, Master Yoda . . . . . . Err, Momo made the comic.

Half-siblings (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1035). Check out the last panel.
Not conclusive of course, but given the elder Bianchi's lifestyle and the decade in which they were living it, not exactly impossible either.
-
Forgot about that.
The implication being that, at some stage, Dora's mom banged her husbands brother.

You mean the 80's? But I don't think so, simply because there's no reference to the irony of both sides missing the others implication. And I've often been compared to one of my uncles rather than my dad.
Oh, but this might help with the clingy/confident debate: comic 1041 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1041).
-
In 328, Sven and Dora seemed to be talking about their parents as being the same people, though not conclusive.
Anyone else wonder whether that comic is the real reason Raven wanted to become a physicist?
-

THat's so, so, so… My god, I'd love to see that! Not only because it'd be awesome, but if Dora transformed into a super Saiyan, wouldn't her hair have to be blonde again?
I really liked Dora as a blonde, even if she did start to exhibit Doc Samson-like tendencies as her hair grew longer (towards Cosette, anyway). http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1323

So, now the only question that remains is: What is Sven doing at the coffee shop?
-

You get robbed by some random girl in the street with a little robot on your back, and it's entirely too early to start drinking.
What do you do?
Anyway, I know Sven is an ex-whore, but I can't help but like him a little, during this arc.
I feel dirty.
-
I can't decide - is Sven going "oh, fml" or "oh, wtf?"
The correct answer, of course, is c.) Both.
-
Honestly, I don't think they're going AHHHHHH! for Sven.
Which brings us to the question: Who/What do you think is behind Sven?
-
So, now the only question that remains is: What is Sven doing at the coffee shop?
He no longer hates coffee like he did in 328. Maybe he's bought more drapes (794).
-

A Spy, ready to stab Sven and sap the dinosaur espresso maker.
-
My favourite part is how Faye and Dora are pointing and screaming at (whatever's behind) Sven, and Momo's just staring at their fingers like a dog.
-
At this point, she's probably just hoping not to get poked in the eye!
-
Actually, I'm a bit worried about Momo. She hasn't said a word since she got that nasty whack on the head, not even when Marigold announced she was going to a restaurant.
Yes, yes, screw the human, concern for the robot. Sometimes I think Jeph is really trying to get us ready to welcome our new, silicon-brained overlords.
-
Momo's crashed.

You're right, perhaps hdd crash, but... Maybe just in a standby mode, like CD players have software to prevent skips while jogging, etc..? She might go into some safety mode automatically during and after bumps, when she* seems semi-conscious.
Or, you could be picking up on a plot point...
(hey, what was that great idea you had? I won't tell anyone!) :-)
*She's not really female, so what pronoun(s) to use? We'll have to address this sometime, as androids take over become more common. But calling Momo "it" just seems rude, she looks, acts and speaks like a kawaii female.
Yes, yes, screw the human, concern for the robot.
:-D Like in the movie Independence Day, when the dog leaps to safety just in time, the audience cheers, despite scores of humans biting the big one...

I always thought that that line was just a sort of family joke? To be honest, I get compared to people in my family all the time... everyone except the people who conceived me! But, even if they say he looks like Uncle, they think, that could mean that they just have the family resemblance there. Siblings have the same genes, still, even if it's recessive. So even if your father is short and pudgy and dark-haired, if your grandfather was tall and auburn-haired, you could look more like your grandfather... and if Uncle looked like Gramps and Dad looked like Grams, you would look like Uncle. WOO.
-
If Momo's anything like my old Dell laptop, then all you need to do is poke her with a toothpick a few times to magically reconnect the speakers.
-
Momo's crashed.
She's waving in panel one.
-
I don't think Momo's really hurt, or anything - I think she's just in a bit of a shock? We don't know exactly how the innards of the AnthroPCs work... do they go into shock like humans, or do they experiences crashes, like computers? Maybe both?
The thing is, she doesn't appear to be injured; Marigold would be all over it if Momo was hurt, even in her own freaked-out state. And certainly Momo would be in some sort of "frozen" state, much like Winslow when he was too cold.
-
Momo-tan is quieter soto than she is uchi. She may simply be computing that she's not being spoken to and that it's not an inside-the-family situation.
-
Or her 'brains' may be scrambled (remember the stars and what-not hovering above her noggin? We've learned Jeph does not use such casually) and 'automatic' subroutines are kicking in right now.
And a murrain on you, Cold, for making my primitive brain have to look up uchi-soto. Especially since said brain tried immediately to merge that with "Inside, Outside, Upside Down," and is now wondering if Josie and the Pussycats (the cartoon, not the trainwreck movie) were ever Big in Japan.

Exactly. My younger daughter is the spitting image of my baby brother - they both have my mother's strong jaw, dark hair and olive skin. I look like my dad, freckled and a little on the ginger side, and my wife's as aryan as they get. So the poor girl looks very little like either of her parents... and no, my brother wasn't even in the same state that year, thank you for that image.
So yeah, Sven and Dora, brother and sister, and no one has ever said anything otherwise.

The question is which of them is likely to go Super Saiyan first.
-
Half-siblings? I was pretty sure that both the Bianchis are the children of the Bianchis we met when Marty met the 'rents...
Half-siblings (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1035). Check out the last panel.
Not conclusive of course, but given the elder Bianchi's lifestyle and the decade in which they were living it, not exactly impossible either.
Even if that were meant as you read it (rather than simply meaning some recessive gene thing), that'd make them three-quarter-siblings - half-siblings are when the parents not in common between the two are unrelated.
-
Hmmm - the thought of 3/4 siblings is uncomfortable.
I think that the proposed situation would make them half-siblings, and the other half would be cousins!
And now, "I'm my own grampa" is running through my head...
-
My first guess was that three-quarters siblings would be the product of either a single male inseminating sisters, or brothers inseminating one woman (I shall these inseminating siblings SPs, 'sibling-parents' for convenience's sake). But then it occurred to me that, assuming the SPs are full siblings, the mix of their parents' genes in each SB is not likely to be such that any offspring is going to be absolutely one quarter related, one not, if you follow me (right now, we're forgetting about the common parent's contribution). Either you've got to be so general that you might as well call them full siblings, or so specific they must be termed half. Anything else is at best speculative unless you actually analyze their genes.
Suddenly I feel like I'm in Heinlein's "The Tale of the Twins Who Weren't." (Clips subsequent rant, gives highlights: speculating half-siblings nosy)
As for who's going to super Saiyan first, didn't the grouchy one, Vegeta (I know I'm misspelling that), first manage it? If so, my money's on Faye. Although I'd pick Dora if her hair were longer.
-

No that was the free-spirited one (Goku?); which is why Vegeta was so grouchy. Something to do with being a lost prince or something.
-
While in the series, the first to go Super Saiyan was Goku, Goku's sons accomplished the feat at a far earlier age than either Vegeta or Goku: Gohan did it around the age of twelve (Hyperbolic Time Chamber ftw!) - during the Cell Saga. Goten did it even younger, while sparring with Chi Chi. Gohan didn't even know about it until a while afterwards, and I believe he would have been around the age of seven? But yeah, Goku was the first of the group to reach that plateau, and the first to reach each level afterwards.
Vegeta was Prince of All Saiyans, even though the home planet was destroyed by Frieza when both Goku and Vegeta were very young.
I think Sven would go first, 'cause he never tries, and he gets what he wants, just like Goku. Then Faye, from sheer jealousy and the fact that she has all that intensity. Then Dora, and then Mar would hop in, because HEY, her life is now an anime, ftw!!
But Faye would be the first to go to Super Saiyan x 2 because she is too intense NOT to!
Uhm, yes. xD I have been a bit of a DB/DBZ/DBGT nerd. ... *whistles*
-
Then Dora, and then Mar would hop in,
I thought you meant Marten would hop in, ... but poor Marten gets ignored, too wimpy & mild?
(I don't have a clue what "Super Saiyan" is.)
-
Well Marten is not AAAAAHHHHH'ing.
Also, Super Saiyan = this.
(I adore Pan.)

Pfft. Pan never went super saiyan. No girls allowed, you know. :roll:
-
And I hate that!
Being a girl, Pan, Videl... even sometimes Chi Chi and Bulma, were my favorite characters (less so on Chi Chi and Bulma due to their incessant whining and crying) and therefore I believe Pan SHOULD have gone SS. Plus, that .gif was the best one I found, even if it's a fake. xD The .gifs I saw of Goku made my eyes bleed due to the rapid shift of motion.

You're right—I remember that now. It's been years since I watched DBZ, and the last show I saw, the pink wierdo Bu had turned evil and was taking over the world; after that some schedule conflict came up and I stopped watching. The next time I saw an installment, Goku was a child again, I think. Made my head hurt, anyway. I also remember why Vegeta was grouchy now; he was an assrod (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=assrod).
-
Buu was defeated but Good!Buu lived, and Evil!Buu was eventually reincarnated into a hilarious kid who was a natural-born fighter... etcetc.
Then in DBGT (Dragon Ball Grand Tour) Gohan has his own kid - Pan - and Garlic Jr. (from the first series, the original Dragon Ball) has collected the universal Dragon Balls, uses them to make a wish, Goku's in his little-kid size, and Goku, Pan, and Trunks are scouring the universe to regather the Balls to reverse the wish and there was an evil robotic dude who took over Vegeta named Baby - oh, and Vegeta has another kid, too, who resembles her mother a lot more than Trunks. I think her name is Bra. lol.
Anyhoo, Dragon Ball is the series with some epic story lines that are almost too wacky to believe. Which is why it always appealed to me! :D

Yay! Awesome! Thanks for that, Carl-E. ^_^
And if I had my druthers, I'd want ALL of them to go super-Saiyan simultaneously (say THAT ten times fast). I am finding it hilarious that it now looks like Dora is aggressively cleaning out Momo's ear. Bonus!
-
Oh, god I didn't even SEE that! Momo's expression really completes that thought!

Actually, the wish guy is Pilaf, i think. Garlic Jr. was some filler crap they used at some point in Z so they wouldn't leave the comics behind or something like that.

Apropos of nothing, and just a Wild-Ass Guess (WAG) on my part...
I think I know where the supposed "location" of Coffee of Doom is in NoHo.
The irony is, it's location is currently a movie theater next door to a pastry shop - on Pleasant Street.
