And here we go!

As funny as it could be...I just can't see Hanners going to a strip club. The thought of sweat, near naked bodies (and in her mind) unhygenic conditions would render her catatonic...or dead. In which case, Marten, Steve and Cosette would be convicted of manslaughter and as we all know, Marten is too pretty to go to jail.

One more bad encounter with meds and it's Hanners up there on stage. In "cute boyshorts, by the way." Singing "Row row row your boat." And then her mom buys the place.

I've finally given up on Faye & Angus going on a date.
-
Never give up the ship!
[lashes self to the wheel]
:-D
Edit: Just checked the ustream Justin TV stream, looks like it's Angus and Faye for the win!
-
I've finally given up on Faye & Angus going on a date.
They already went on a date. (Starts here (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1731), ends here (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1736).)
Granted it was six months ago in our time, but it was just a few days ago in QC time.
Then they were playing off second base (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1817) at Angus's place right after the big break-up.
Angus and Faye are dating. It's just that Marten/Dora breakup drama has pushed their story to the back burner.
-
I voted for "Waffles!" just because having waffles on tap would be cool. They'd open the spigot and dispense the waffle batter into this little portable waffle-maker that they hand to you so you can plug it in at your table...
-
Comic's up.
Looks like Angus and Faye are rounding second and heading for third.
-
looks more like a score to me, as soon as they've exhausted their current line of delaying jokes
i think their both just a bit scared to really start this
-
Angus' Wang would not be the worst name for a band—for one thing, folks could argue about whether it should be Angus' or Angus's.
-
The direction of Faye's gaze looks a little off, unless Angus' pen really is mightier than the sword. I suppose it would be in poor taste to make a joke about Angus beef (http://www.adrants.com/images/beef%20i%20love%20you.jpg)? :angel:

Now I'm seeing the breakup drama in a whole, new, more positive light.

You could, but 'Piggly Wiggly' is much funnier!
-
Had to chuckle at today's comic, Jeph did a good job writing the coy/saucy dialogue. Glad to see more of Angus and Faye as usual, especially because as much as I like Angus, I feel like he still has a lot of room to be explored as a character.
Edit: As an aside, the art looks very good today. Faye's expressions (especially in panel two) just look great!
-
Wait, I thought small talk was AFTER the sex? Or am I doing it wrong?
-
Call me fickle, but today's comic makes me quite upset. I understand that Faye has a life of her own and as adults, adults are going to get flirty and intimate with each other while dating. What I didn't like about the comic is the fact that it came RIGHT AFTER Marten is realizing he has to sleep alone for the first time in a while. I just thought the whole timing of the strip was off. I had to click 'Previous' on the screen just to see if I was imagining the comic coming right after Marten. Oh well... :|
-
Wow, am I the only person who thought that angus' arm in the first panel looks like a hilariously distended boob?
-
Sex puns! Oh my stars and happy whales. It's almost like the comics old witty banter in the new improved shiny wrapping. Luverly.
-
So they are talking about fictional (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IncrediblyLamePun) positions (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IfYouKnowWhatIMean)? :-D
-
that example pun in the first one is indeed terrible
"That's a harp he's playing, Nobby," said one of them, after watching Imp for a while.
"Lyre."
"No, it's the honest truth, I'm—" The fat Guard frowned and looked down. "You've just been waiting all your life to say that, ain't you Nobby," he said. "I bet you was born hoping that one day someone'd say 'That's a harp' so you could say 'lyre', on account of it being a pune or play on words. Well, har har."

Wait, what? So... it's ok that Faye will EVENTUALLY have sex with Angus, but it's not ok if she has it at the same time that her friend is single and moping about it? How does that work? When your friends go through breakups, do you abstain from having sex with/seeing your significant other during the time period that they are upset about it? I mean, personally, if my boyfriend broke up with me, I wouldn't expect my roommate to stop seeing or even inviting over HER boyfriend until I was less upset about my singledom.
Or do you mean you don't like the narrative choice Jeph made in putting this comic right after the Marten one? I gotta say, I think that's called "ironic juxtaposition."Or even thematic juxtaposition. As one relationship fades, another blossoms, cycle of life goes on, yadda yadda.
-
Any jokes about "Angus beef" here will par for the course.
Carry on.
-
No way, too easy.
-
As for today's comic....
It makes me really nervous looking at a couple just about seconds to get it on... it makes me feel like SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
Not like the after - pillow talk. something had happen, and now they are disscussing how bad/good it was.
"Remember the part with the space suit?"
"Yeah, i'm never doing that again, no matter how awesome it was"
:psyduck:
*EDIT*
Hope i'm not crossing the line here.
-
For the record, for non-native english speakers, many of these "bad puns" are hard enough to understand in the first place.

I was referring to Jeph's flow of showing Angus and Faye right after seeing a moping Marten. I just thought it was a little soon is all.

Yeah, I got the site wrong, but the video was originally created on SomethingAwful.com the day after and posted all over the Internet (which shouldn't surprise anyone, since SomethingAwful is also responsible for SWAP.AVI and "Your poison womb is making heaven too fucking crowded").
There is still never a "too soon", keep in mind that I was using an extreme example to point out how using a "too soon" argument to dislike today's comic is hilariously dumb, especially when we're discussing something posted on the Internet.

I'm not sure I see the difference, broadly speaking, anyway (I admit the specifics get a little murky, but don't they always?) in this and when Faye was alone and Marten had Dora (literally), sometimes in the same apartment. Of course, a week or so ago (our time), we saw that Drunk-Off-His-Ass Marten (as opposed to Marten when his brain is functional) 'thought'* much like you do — and tried to act on it. So perhaps you could view this as a little instant Karma. A rather benign sort, too, since Marten doesn't know a thing about it other than in theory.
*The quote's for Marten, not Renewman. I understand Renewman's reaction—I just disagree.

Alternate lines for Angus in panel 4:
"I think you'll find I'm actually overqualified."
"Allow me to introduce tonight's special guest."
"You wanna see a really ginormous head?"
Also, looove Faye's sexyface in panel 4.
-
I thought he let that "not qualified" line go a little too easily, too...
-

Sounds about right.
If Jeph aims at maximum awkwardness, we might see a strip with some pillow talk indicating that their first time was not quite the stellar experience they had hoped. Just to extract a round of cheers from the anti-shippers. Of course, on the next strip Faye & Angus succesfully brush the disappointment off. And the shippers rejoice.
I am not making a prediction or anything. :roll: For a longest time I thought that there's no way Jeph would dare break up Dora & Marten, so my batting average is kinda low.
-
Looks like Faye is going to be the USDA here...
...because she's about to inspect some grade-A Angus sirloin.

Bit of a nitpick here: It kinda bugs me that Faye and Angus have the same glasses and similar hairstyles. But that's probably just me.

Like Marten and Dora? Clearly compatible, for a while...

Does that mean that the boat is going to sink in the ocean? Like doteen's (or Marra?) ship had.... has..... had?

That's a good question. There's an old thread about it:
http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,24987.0.html
-
Aw yay! This comic made me grin, they just look so relaxed with one another. And happy! I mean look at Faye she's just so...idk, I see her expression as happy and relaxed. And even Angus just had an easy smile, not a 'ho ho ho' smirk or nervous grin at her discovering his be-- er, writing partner's excitement. I like those two together so this bodes well. I especially love Faye's expression in the last panel. I'm sure they'll have a conversation about getting it on before getting it on, but I really hope they do instead of talk themselves out of it.
-

No portmanteaus, please; and let's not slip back into all these nautical terms. We can discuss the possible course of various (fictional) relationships in sensible language, without testing the edges of the forbidden territory.
-
This is the second conversation we've seen Faye and Angus have about aspirations, which puts them two up on pretty much everyone else*. I see them being good for each other.
* Exception, as always, made for Everyone's Little Sister, who wanted to be a really normal cybernetic Martian princess by now.

That's one hell of a stretch for a pun that doesn't even make that much sense but whatever

Aren't lyres Greek? So really the blame should fall on the Greeks... I guess in this case it's just a case of a Greek word matching an English one.

lyre |līr| noun. A stringed instrument like a small U-shaped harp with strings fixed to a crossbar, used esp. in ancient Greece. Modern instruments of this type are found mainly in East Africa.
ORIGIN Middle English : via Old French lire and Latin lyra from Greek lura.
The word has come a long way. The Greek root doesn't match the English, but it has the lura the exotic... :angel:
-
The anagram of Faye is F, YEA!
And for "Faye Whitaker" it's "Awake thy fire". Appropriate, eh?
-
Very nice. :-) I wish I could take full credit for my sig but someone else said it during one of the streams.
EDIT: Actually, now that I really think back, I'm pretty sure I got it wrong (it was actually awhile ago). Fixed now!
-
I thought he let that "not qualified" line go a little too easily, too...
From where Faye's sitting, she's in a position to know whether he's under- or overqualified. Oh wait, you probably meant his skill-set. >_> In which case, she wouldn't know at this point, but it's a better move for Angus to lower her expectations regardless of his qualifications.
But does this mean the pen is mightier?
:psyduck:

I think things are getting laid on a bit thick there. :-D

I don't know about you non-native English-speakers, but uhhhh, most people know what a lyre is. I don't get all this complaining about the difficulty of these (and other) puns for non-native English speakers though. What, are Jeph and others supposed to dumb down their jokes so people who are reading an English-language comic but don't really know English would get it? Why? For instance, your own post was VERY difficult to understand for Russian and Japanese-speakers. So what?
I don't read French books and complain that Flaubert's generous vocabulary makes his books hard to understand for me, a non-native French speaker. I go and get a dictionary.
-
Jeph just started drawing. Calling it now: Faye gets cold feet and decides they're going too fast.
-
My call(s) - Marigold is going to unintentionally sabotage the night. That or sulk for four panels.
-
Well, she's not gonna sulk in her room at least.
As for Faye and Angus: GET A ROOM!
-
First time ever being able to catch Jeph drawing, that was awesome. My love for him and his work grew 10 times bigger than what it was already. =] There was already a big love to begin with.
It really is a bit inconsiderate for Faye and Angus to do that, take it to the bedroom!
-
She should subtly get her point across by strutting across the living room and heading out the door, but then again, this is Marigold we're talking about.
-
Yeah, I don't see Mari strutting anywhere.
-
Well no one said I was Miss Cleo
-
Reminds me of when my sis decided to have sex on the couch. While I was in the room trying to sleep. Yeesh. Bad faye and Angus!
Poor Mari. Run to Hannelore;she'll save you.
-
"um, Marigold..........why was Faye wearing that......"
"CAN WE JUST GO TO HANNELORE'S, PLEASE?"
-
"um, Marigold..........why was Faye wearing that......"
What, the social protocol database let her down?
-
Well, she's not Pintsize. He'd recognize most sexual apparati.
-
I do believe Momo-tan was blushing in the last panel. Fascinating that she'd be built with that capability.
-
And her finger upgrade has stuck as well.
-
And we already know about the next set of upgrades on her list ...
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1658
-
Yay, Momo! :D
Maybe Momo's social protocol database has informed her it's not necessary to give Marigold the gory details?
-
I love the look of "oh my god the world is ending" on Marigold's face in the last panel, probably one of Jeph's better expressions. That's saying quite a lot, really.
Momo works really well too. I'm not sure if I want to know the exact details of what Faye and Angus are doing if it evoked THAT reaction...
-
Mmmmmmmmm comic niiiiiiiiiiiiice !
Now I only need to manage to wake up.
-
Momo's expression in the last panel is win.
-
This just serves to remind us: we have not seen what Angus' room is like!
It must be AWESOME. Or terribly boring...
-
so neither of them dragged the other off to angus's room (okay seriously, angus' or angus's?) and have now coitally trapped marigold in her room?
what if she runs out of pokey?
angus can be such an inconsiderate ass sometimes :wink:
ooh and a marigold + hanners comic tomorrow :D
-
Having a blushing AnthroPC lead her (blindfolded) across the room would be even more effective than strutting. Assuming Angus even notices.
Re Angus's room (no, it is not Angus' room), I call New Background Avoidance Syndrome.
-
you should totally add that to wikipedia
-
All I know is, Angus better have a picture of himself and Stephen Colbert hanging on the wall. Like so:
(http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu307/SharpArcher01/colbertpose.jpg)
Seriously, if Jeph ever drew that I would be beside myself with giddiness that would perturb a school girl.
-
I do believe Momo-tan was blushing in the last panel. Fascinating that she'd be built with that capability.
We know she's equipped to produce the anime sweat-drop, and the live eels, so blushing isn't much of a stretch, but it is so kawaii.
Making out in an apartment occupied by an anthro-PC could be risky. I'm imagining: "Excuse me!" <Momo-tan bows> "My eyes are high-resolution full colour video-cameras, my ears are high-fidelity stereo microphones, and my 5GHz WiFi interface allows me to upload what I see and hear to Pintsize's YouTube account at 150 megabits per second." <bows, and sits seiza, gazing at the happy couple. Her pupils dilate and contract, accompanied by faint autofocus noises>
-
<...whereupon happy couple makes a mad albeit futile dash to cover up any naughty bits with discarded clothing/sofa cusions>

That might actually happen if Pintsize ever gets into the whole "write virusses to control other Anthropcs" business.

I can't find that strip where Momo was "flirting" with that Doll. But Faye looks into another one. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1624) Oh, BTW, I thought Pintsize would make such an expression useless? (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1651)

Now we're cooking.
<...whereupon happy couple makes a mad albeit futile dash to cover up any naughty bits with discarded clothing/sofa cusions>
Er, this is Faye. Of course, this is Momo, too. Could Faye get away with throwing her against the wall? Or would it be that Kiss song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2rZun97AOk&feature=player_embedded)all over again?
-
I do believe Momo-tan was blushing in the last panel. Fascinating that she'd be built with that capability.
That was my first thought as well, shortly followed by "I wonder how much battery life that drains." Even in fiction, no-one can accuse me of not being practical.
-
Someone isn't exactly over Angus, I see. Well, I hope that doesn't last long. I adore Marigold, and want her to be happy. Since it is unlikely that that Faye's relationship with Angus is going to end soon, she needs a distraction.
"OOF!"
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking... Oh, hey Marten!"
"...Marigold. What're you up to?"
"Just on my way to see Hanners. I needed to get away from my place."
"Why... what's wrong with your place?"
Well... I could write more but suffice to say that maybe two rejected lovers could find comfort in each other's arms.
-
But that would be as artificial as you say in another thread that you think the pairing of Faye and Angus is; probably more so, because I disagree with you on Faye and Angus, and unlike them Marten and Marigold have shown no interaction that would lead into such a thing.

It would be a little artificial if they were just to get right to the love-love I suppose. What I'm really speculating about is not the possibility that they will hop into bed right away, but that they might have some interaction that would lead to further development between them. If I implied any more, that was merely for potential comic effect. I almost implied it even more strongly, but then I remembered that people don't always have a sense of humour around here... especially Jeph.
I'd think it was cool if Marten and Marigold got to interact a little more. It would probably be a good couple of hundred comic strips before anything even remotely romantic happened between them though, if ever. As for Faye and Angus, it isn't their pairing I think is artificial - that came out of a run of several hundred comic strips and was entirely organic development. It is their happiness I think is artificial. I could understand Faye being a bit confused after Angus planted a kiss on her, but I don't know why she didn't recover her senses after a couple of dates and tell him that she's just not interested. In anyone.
-
uh... Marigold has lost some serious cred with me if she can't watch her shows on that supercomputer of hers.
/watches more tv on laptop and phone than on his actual home theater setup.
-
Perhaps she would prefer a larger screen?
I feel sorry for Marigold here, what with her unintended rival out there doing what she had at least thought she wanted to do and feeling trapped in the room. I mean what if she needs to visit the loo? Of course knowing the two of them were coming over Marigold could have left earlier.
-

Established, she doesn't keep a phone in her room because that distracts from World of Warcraft. Not too much of a stretch to imagine that sucker's exclusively for WoW, with just enough left over for some Potter fanfic.
But I know what you mean. I'm beginning to wonder why I spent money on a TV.

Because that's not where she's at now. That's where she was when she met Marten, but she has grown and changed since then. A big part of that was her little what-da-ya-call-it with Sven.
She's ready to try getting back into the dating pool, and I think she's bathing in the excitement that comes with a new relationship.
This just illustrates why I don't get all the Angus hate. Angus might have been a one note gag when he was first introduced, but he has developed since then. So has Faye. In fact all of Jeph's characters grow as the comic progresses, but many people act as if the characters are stuck at comic #750 where Faye and Angus are concerned.

Mostly because she IS interested in Angus, and has explicitly stated that she really likes him (in the recentish underpants arc). She was interested in dating in general much earlier than this, telling Doctor Corrine that she wanted to be able to kiss boys but didn't feel ready to do so. She began to overcome those boundaries with Sven (perhaps not quite as she had intended, but she did it nonetheless) and is continuing to do so now with Angus. I can't say for sure how the relationship will end up, but Faye is genuinely interested, as is Angus with her. I'm looking forward to seeing how Jeph progresses their story.

This. I don't understand why people dislike the guy so much; as akronnick points out, he HAS been fleshed out a lot since being introduced, and the relationship provides plenty of scope for further development. He's honestly one of my favourite characters in the comic.

Having a blushing AnthroPC lead her (blindfolded) across the room would be even more effective than strutting. Assuming Angus even notices.

Should add that to TV Tropes.

And we already know about the next set of upgrades on her list ...

She'll get there in one piece all right, but Faye and Angus are going to shatter into a large number of pieces as she walks out to the door.
Then they'll reassemble like the T-1000 and carry on.

Not sure the last poll option is really necessary; we already know where he is - making out with Marten.

Ah, it makes sense, now.
Liking a particular character doesn't prevent me from posting analysis on his current relationship status, or why somebody might be romantically interested in him. I like his character in the comic because he works well in the QC world; I like most of the characters for this reason. He has his flaws, but so does everybody else, and I would posit that Angus has less significant flaws than most of the cast. Oddly enough, unless I'm managing to completely forget about somebody, the only regular character with less significant flaws than Angus right now is Faye; draw from that what you will.

Maybe she'll take some of her Yuri Anime with her when she goes to Hanners.
Momo looks so cute in that last panel. A blushing AntroPC - At least you can tell her programming hasn't been corrupted by Pintsize.

She only uses it to help. She is a good scholar of scatological judo, whereas Pintsize is a bad one. And as all eastern martial arts movies have taught us, there will be a showdown between them some day.

Hm, most people with their eyes closed (or blindfolded) would walk with their hands out for guidance, even if led by someone else. Whether Momo leads her by hand or via subvocalized instructions, Marigold would have a high chance of either stumbling or accidentally touching . . . something.
Faye: "Mmm -- hey, when did you get a third hand?"
Angus: "That's not my -- holy crap!"
Everyone: "AAAAAAAAAH!"
Then they all get Dragonball Z hair. :-D

is shorting pintsize out by something filthy even possible, that would require something so vile a human couldnt think of it
or maybe when the singularity happens, then pintsize will probably turn into said unthinkably vile action among others in his existance of pure porn

The singularity has happened in the QC universe, fairly recently. Pintsize was crushed that it wasn't more dramatic.

Oh, and on the subject of today's strip: let's just say I had something similar happen to me in college.

Well, of course it did. It's college. ;)
Barely a day goes by here in my university accomodation where one guy is playing music far too loud and another guy is making humping noises through the ceiling. I'm actually fairly accustomed to it by now.

No, a scenario believed to be the likely cause of the Singularity has happened, and the hubbub over that one theory led the Internet to dub it "the Singularity." If the Singularity had happened, by definition, the characters' lifestyles would make little sense to us. That's kind of the idea; the Singularity is the point where things make less sense to us than our world would to Akhenaten. What has happened in this universe illustrates pretty well why I don't believe in the Singularity.

Question: How sad is it that a strip full of Momo goodness, with the prospect of more in the future, has been the highlight of my week?
-
This just illustrates why I don't get all the Angus hate. Angus might have been a one note gag when he was first introduced, but he has developed since then.
Yes, he's developed from an annoying running gag into weak vanilla pudding. I suppose that's evolution of a sort.
At best he's a Placeholder Significant Other, like the ones that infest Sluggy Freelance.
-
And here I thought the whole Angus and Marigold arc (both the dancing stuff and the subsequent Drunk Marigold scenes) were pretty good character development.
-
Mostly because she IS interested in Angus, and has explicitly stated that she really likes him (in the recentish underpants arc). She was interested in dating in general much earlier than this, telling Doctor Corrine that she wanted to be able to kiss boys but didn't feel ready to do so.

Well... have you ever read a bad fanfic? The kind that pairs up the characters as the fan in question sees fit? The progression of the relationship just doesn't seem to ring true, you know? That's how I feel about the development of Faye having a relationship with anyone at all. It just can't ring true for me. It isn't really an Angus thing, even though he's a dull and uninteresting character. It would be just as bizarre if she started dating Marten. Her reaction seems like it should always be either the one she had for him, or the one she had for Sven.
Character development is good, but I just can't buy her getting over it. A real person would, but she's a character and her neuroses are the central point upon which her character was built. I don't think it's valid to change a character that much.

Hmm, I suppose. A person can and will change as much as she has, and her character these days is becoming more based on how she's breaking past her neuroses, which is what the Angus relationship is showing.
Thinking about it though... how long has it been in the QC world since the whole Sven thing? Perhaps not as long as a real person would take to achieve the same progress, so I'm starting to see your point. However, I still believe the relationship between Angus and Faye is a good one; they have a nice dynamic. Now that the breakup drama seems to have mostly subsided, we should get more of an opportunity to see where this goes, which may help validate the course of events.
-
Does Hannelore even have a TV? Strip 590 isn't definitive, but it sure sounds like she doesn't.
EDIT: Momo-tan has holographic projection equipment. Couldn't she log on to Hulu or Netflix or whatever and display the video?

I don't hate Faye and Angus as a couple, so I guess? Even if I think it's all a bit contrived, they aren't the worst thing to happen to the strip. It makes me a bit sad to see how it affects Marigold, but that's all. I'm a total hypocrite where she's concerned, mind you. If she were to be shoe-horned into a happy relationship with completely contrived development, I'd be happy. Just because it's Marigold being happy.

Well, there's one thing we definitely agree on. :p Ever since the whole Dale thing happened, it's been fairly obvious that they will end up together eventually, because these things just seem to work that way. That won't be for a while though.
Moving back to the present day, I'm actually fairly surprised how well she's taking it. Angus is the only person she's ever felt she had a genuine chance with, and Faye has started dating him quite soon after she got rejected. All she's really done is sulk about it a little; if it was me I'd probably be curled up under my blanket lacking the motivation to do anything at all. >_>

Hey, there may not be any boot-knocking goin on for Angus, but you still have to be prepared! At least, I'm pretty sure that Faye's little jab there was implying that she wasn't talking about sex but just about sleeping together. But, with how...shall we say randy they've been the last few strips I suppose it wouldn't be much of a surprise at all if she were.

Angus isn't checking for condoms, he's checking to make sure Mari-girl's out so she doesn't go on a rampage on hearing him and Faye getting it on and kill them.

We know he had at least one girlfriend before Faye.
Also I'm highly curious how you would find out a man is a virgin - unless the guy tells you - and even then he could lie about it.
-
An awkward protocol problem for Angus. If he can't even remember whether he has any condoms, it suggests it's been a while since he, um, stocked up. I suppose that's a good thing. Sven probably has fresh condoms on some kind of belt-feed, even if his... rate of fire is lower these days.

He mentioned a previous girlfriend, but then again many guys who are virgins at Angus's age (early to mid 20s?) tend to be ashamed to admit they have yet to do the deed, and will often lie about it to everyone. So yeah, Angus being a virgin is possible...

It isn't as though Faye is Miss Super-Experienced either. She got laid about a handful of times since The Incident, and I know the fact that all of those were with Sven means she's probably learned a thing or two but still.
Angus is one heck of a lucky man.

If Faye's favorite (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=35) story (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1733) is true, then she obviously did the deed before The Incident. Besides, during The Talk she mentions telling her dad that she'd lost her virginity. All that to say that she's a bit more experienced than you're giving her credit for. :wink:
Being like Angus, I had to laugh at today's comic. I've been single long enough that I don't remember if I have my old stash, so I can relate. I'm interested to see if Mar-bear is able to leave before they start shaking the walls.

It would also explain a great deal about most of his behavior in the comic.
-
His general cluelessness around women?
-
Angus' claims to being an "orgasm technician" and a "professional sexmaster" felt more than a little bit out of character for him. But, if he is totally inexperienced that would sorta explain him blurting out statements like that. Let's wait and see! As long as Angus is honest with Faye, it could work in his favor. She might be understanding, even if he tries to hide it, but ... massive awkwardness coming up?
-
The 'Angus is a Virgin' hypothesis (it's not even a theory) while funny, is not exactly likely.
Sure he's a bit awkward, but most guys are. And if you're comparing him to Sven, that's not exactly a fair sample.
We know that Angus has been in at least one serious relationship (at least serious enough to not visit CoD during its duration) for at least long enough to know that his ex was apt to belittle people, and it would be unusual for a hetero relationship not to include sex.
And as to him checking on whether his supply of condoms are still handy, while it may not be smooth, is actually pretty respectful and responsible. Of course Faye is going to give him grief about it! It's how she rolls, and he digs it, hell, for these two, it's practically foreplay!
Angus isn't perfect. He's probably not even perfect for Faye, but there's only one way for them to find out. She's willing to give him a shot, maybe we should too.
-
Im sure somebody can find more examples
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1733
panel two, expressions and late recovery do indicate he's completely oblivious
there is plenty of evidence for and against this theory, im afraid only the next 2-7 comics will tell :P

People.
If Angus were a virgin he would not have turned down Marigold. Period, full stop.
I grant you, it would be hilarious if he were, but he's not. No way, no how, no sir!
I think his awkwardness stems entirely from the fact that he's trying to woo Faye Whitaker, with full knowledge and consideration of her history.
It's a delicate balance of trying to express interest and attraction, while at the same time not getting defenstrated.

taking advantage of a drunk girl...some people do have some morals you know
-
Because he's not a Jesus freak and he's not gay.
That's the only way a male virgin in his twenties would turn down what she was proposing.
It is possible that he's only had a few serious long term relationship and therefore is awkward in the seduction phase, but when it comes time to get down to business, as it were, he'll have no problem getting the job done. (if you know what I mean.)
-
I'm inclined to agree with akronnick. If a guy whos not experienced at all suddenly has a girl literally throw herself at him, whilst both of them are intoxicated, well it becomes less a case of "has moral standards" and more a matter of "going for Saint of the Year award."
Though the "being intoxicated" may ruin his chances to start with.
-
I have incontrovertible proof that your theory is utter arse gravy.
-
We know that Angus has been in at least one serious relationship (at least serious enough to not visit CoD during its duration) for at least long enough to know that his ex was apt to belittle people, and it would be unusual for a hetero relationship not to include sex.
...unless the no-sex was the deal breaker in the relationship. She could have said, "No sex until we're married." He could have agreed upon it for a while, but then something else happened and boom, he ditched her. And he could have still remained a virgin.
You can be in a serious relationship without sex, believe it or not. Especially if one or both parties is of a particular religious bent (which, I'm almost certain, the ex-GF-not-named may have been).
EDIT: Of course, you may be right with your comment about Marigold. But here's the thing with Mar-bear: he never saw her as a romantic/sexual partner. Therefore, it was easier for him to say, "uh, no, Mar, I'd rather be just friends." (Though he was tempted - "Whoa, yeah, boob, awesome.")
It may have also been easier because he walked in on Faye suddenly leaving, without explanation. Then, as Mari came on to him, he realized, "Oh, ####, she thinks I like her and she went and told FAYE, and now I'm never gonna have a shot at Miss Barista Biatch."
Angus as a virgin would work.
-
On another note: No one noticed that Red Robot from Diesel Sweeties made an appearance in that last panel? (I don't recognize the other 'bot - anyone?)
-
I dunno. We already have two virgins in the comic; I doubt Jeph would throw in another one, especially since I'm convinced that Marigold losing her virginity will be a storyline (or at least part of one) in the future. I don't think Jeph would use that kind of plot point twice.
-
And don't forget, it's already been done (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=262) once (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=300).
-
You people have it all wrong, the man was simply confirming that there was a clear path to the bed in the room and that all the dirty underwear was in the hamper - checking to make sure he had his letters was a cover.
-
Hum, if Barry White was on, they would be way past pillow talk...
:psyduck:
Because he's not a Jesus freak and he's not gay.
That's the only way a male virgin in his twenties would turn down what she was proposing.
So, only a gay Jesus freak would turn down a druken girl proposal?

Been in that position so I would say, no.
And before you ask, I don't fit either category.

it seemed like angus was a bit more lucid then mar, ofcourse you cant really tell accuratly because jeph uses those 3 bubbles to indicate it and doesnt stray to much from just 3
what im saying is if your not completely carparked and have some inhibitions you can do the honorable thing, since he was lucid enough to think im sure that could have been the case

Hmmm...while I really don't think that Angus is a virgin, it could be possible that he may not have much experience in the sexin' department, or it's been awhile since he's gotten with a lady. I don't think those are either the case, either, but admittedly it could be a really cool development if that were the case - if Faye actually had more experience and it was Angus that was the nervous one. The possibility intrigues me highly. Mainly because I think it could be a real turning point in Faye's growing strength - if you're someone who becomes incredibly vulnerable in intimate situations, being with someone where you actually have more power in the intimate situation could really be beneficial. She could take the lead - as much of it as she wants - and it could give her a higher measure of control over her intimacy issues than she may have had before.
Also her reaction would be intriguing to see, as it could be an insight into how much Angus has gotten under her skin. Would she mock as normal, or would she be more empathetic and understanding? The latter case could point to her really developing feelings for the guy.
I admit I love Angus & Faye's chemistry. I like him as a character a lot, he kind of ties with Marty as a fave and I feel he a fantastic match for Faye. He's never pushed her, but he's never backed down from her either (in that he gives as much as he gets, as far as the wit contests go). I think he's just strong enough for her to be someone to push against, but not so strong that he knocks her over (like Sven did in a way...) Idk I tihnk my favorite thing about him is, contrary to a lot of the cast, he actually has his shit together. He's stable, and I think that's a good thing for her right now.

read my mind, that in my opinion is where jeph is pushing this toward
but wont that sortof disolve most of faye's excuse to be a leading character when she becomes that much more stable?
well maybe well see marigold (+ dale?) get some screentime if thats the case

Y'know, the more I think about it, the more I'm thinking it's not that Angus is a virgin or has less experience than Faye, I'm thinking his nervousness comes from knowing he's dealing with someone with serious issues and he's trying not to trigger those issues (someone else on this thread said something like that. Don't remember who, but I agree with them.) He's more nervous about saying and doing the right thing because he knows if he says or does the wrong thing, Faye may bolt. Faye may have come a long way since her stringing-Marten-along days, but not so far that Angus couldn't say or do something to cause her to totally withdraw. In fact, her own fears may do that just as well.
No wonder Angus is kinda nervous. Wouldn't YOU be?

Exactly, I could not have said it better myself.
-
Because he's not a Jesus freak and he's not gay.
That's the only way a male virgin in his twenties would turn down what she was proposing.
Wow way to generalize there.
Uh I don't know how to counter such an ignorant remark really... I have quite a few male friends who chose to abstain until later in life. None of them are "freaks" and none of them are gay.

That's what I was getting at when I said this:
<snip>
I think his awkwardness stems entirely from the fact that he's trying to woo Faye Whitaker, with full knowledge and consideration of her history.
It's a delicate balance of trying to express interest and attraction, while at the same time not getting defenestrated.
I think people were reacting so strongly to the first part of that post (the <snip>) that they didn't comprehend the resoning behind it.
-
Shortest distance between two points logic: A virgin isn't going to need to check and see if he has condoms. He's either not going to have them or he will have bought them that afternoon. If he's not sure he has 'em, they were from a previous relationship. I suppose it is possible that he might have bought them over the duration of his previous relationship with the hope they'd get used, but, again, if that were the case he'd remember. Someone who has not yet had sex is going to be hyper-aware of a package of birth control in their living space.
Of course, even if he is a virgin, he could have condoms for use with sex toys. I still think, in that case, he'd not need to check.

Yeah, but there is a difference between choosing to abstain and wanting to get laid, and not being able to. (which is the group with most people, i want to think)
And the guys in the latter group tend to be more desperate about sex, so i don't think it really is an ignorant remark...
-

But he's not choosing to abstain.
He was actively courting a lady he knows has been recently sexually active, and at the point where Marigold makes her move, not very successfully.
I'm not saying that it's impossible that Angus is a virgin, or that people who choose abstinence are flawed or defective.
I'm just saying that there's no explicit indication that he is.
Occum's razor (And I can't believe I'm whipping that out over this) states that the most parsimonious explanation for a phenomenon should be preferred. Now which is more parsimonious: That a Mid-to-late twenty something heterosexual male without a stated religious or cultural reservation who turned down drunken shenanigans from an available and willing close female friend is nervous because he's a virgin, or that he's simply nervous because it's the first time with Faye, who he's flirted with for a really long time and he really likes, but after what happened with Sven and Marten and her father and do I even still have those condoms and please God don't let me fuck this up?
-
You people have it all wrong, the man was simply confirming that there was a clear path to the bed in the room and that all the dirty underwear was in the hamper - checking to make sure he had his letters was a cover.
Just what I was thinking. Even if he WAS checking for the infernal rubber things, he should have come up with an alternative explanation. "Just making sure the room was decent!"
-
Mid-to-late 20s =/= super hormone driven teenager, apparently.
-
Yeah, but he still, and i quote: "totally touched my boob, too"
That was Marigold retconning the situation to make herself feel better and/or brag to her buddies. As we can see here (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1631) and from what Angus says right after (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1632), Marigold's the one who initiated the boob-touching.

Nor is there an explicit indication that he isn't.
Also it's a poor use of Occam's razor to offer only a binary proposition. To steal from Neal Stephenson, "Don't believe in something simply because you want it to be true" - Diax's Rake.
-
Also, using Occam's razor when the alternatives offered are in any case open to interpretation or doubt is probably dubious.
Mid-to-late 20s =/= super hormone driven teenager, apparently.
This is generally true, though I have known plenty of teenagers who were not slaves to their hormones, and a few much older people who were. So it's best to be careful with generalisations.
In many parts of society religion has no bearing on this either - which I only mention so that no-one else need bring it up again, please.

He was choosing to abstain. At least with anyone who wasn't the one he's interested in. It's called... common sense I believe? If you are VERY interested in a certain person you don't go around having sex with other people.

Amen brother, testify. :evil:

After reading what others have said it does sound more likely that Angus is simply (and understandably) very nervous. Hopefully it goes well for both Faye and Angus.
But what did they do make Momo blush earlier? They were still (mostly) clothed (unless the underwear eating shrub struck again). Apparently she hasn't been hanging around with Pintsize that much lately? But even so? She can shoot eels out of her... Ok. So she's quite comfortable with anything you can see in manga/anime, but intimacy between real people is a novel experience?
-
Their make-outs were so hot, it actually created heat which made the metal in her face glow red-hot.

I'm gonna go with: Angus is a decent guy who knows, likes and gives a shit about Faye and, yes, desperately does not want to fuck this up. He probably will, sure, but how he handles that is part of sitting the exam.
-
JW - love the list, so many potential choices - hiding the porn stash/shrine to all things Faye (which could be really creepy if Angus combined the two with a love of sculpture...) seem to be popular and possibly relevant, but there were so many relevant choices.

When I take my son to his next cub scout meeting a subsequently break into laughter, you'll know your to blame for all the weird looks I get.

Because he's not a Jesus freak and he's not gay.
That's the only way a male virgin in his twenties would turn down what she was proposing.
I was a virgin until the ripe old age of 25, because I didn't want to just throw it away. I found someone worth losing it to. And even though we aren't together anymore, I have never regretted it.
I'm agnostic and I am most certainly not gay.
Just sayin'.

This is a good example of why generalizations don't work. :psyduck:

I suppose anything is possible on the question of Angus's virginity, but I just hope no one out there (male or female) in their late teens/early twenties/any age who happens to still be a virgin reads these comments and feels that there is something wrong with them. Sex is a personal thing. Whatever your choices may be, just make sure they're your choices and you will be fine. And, of course, be safe about it if/when it happens.

I cheer for those who have made competent non rushed non pressured decisions about their sex life. Truth be told NO is, of course, the most socially responsible, moral decision there is. They would be examples to us all, To thine own self be true.

Also I'm highly curious how you would find out a man is a virgin - unless the guy tells you - and even then he could lie about it.
You check if he can see the enchanted city of Vanorva.
-
Unless he has to check whether they've expired ;)
(Team probs-not-a-virgin)
Yeah, you'd be surprised how many people don't know there are expiration dates on condoms.
This comic made me check where I put the box of condoms I have bought a few years ago in a fit of crazy optimism. I didn't find it, but it's no biggie, for I checked the expiration date on the pair I kept in my wallet and they are out of date by several months anyway...
I'm vaguely considering buying a new box, but I would feel like I'm fooling myself. Why would I go for such expenses in prevision of something I don't believe can happen anymore? :|
-
I would agree that not having sex is socially responsible, but not necessarily the moral choice. There are, of course, many situations where having sex is moral issue, such as when a person is drunk, or under age, etc. In general, however, I would argue that sex is not a morality issue if the two people participating are both adults of sound mind. It certainly may be a religious issue, but I would argue that religion and morality are mutually exclusive concepts.
Suffice it to say I disagree slightly on the moral reasoning, but this is not the place for a debate of mores.

Shouldn't put condoms in your wallet anyway. Ever have a condom break on you due to improper storage? It hurts.
-
You know, I just now realize that I forgot an option:
All of the Above.
-
I so would have picked that option. Of course if that were the case and Faye found out her head would probably explode. And Angus would have the ultimate centerpiece for his shrine.
Eesh that was creepy. My bad.

You reminded me to check Oglaf; thank you :-)

That's .... good? Not that it'd be bad if you were a gay Jesus freak... But i think that it's kinda incompatible being both i guess...
I've known a few gay Jesus freaks. Uncommon, but not incompatible. :evil:

So....I guess you could say that where there's a will, there's a gay. 8-)

Well, I guess most bases have been covered, except one;
Latex allergies. Along with as many as 8% of the population, my wife and both daughters will break out in hives if any skin contact with latex occurs. And god forbid that contact be internal - breathing problems and anaphylactic shock (in rare, extreme cases) can occur.
The good news is, there are a lot of non-latex condoms available now (not the quasi-reliable lambskin ones of days gone by), and most people know about such allergies early enough in life that they'll be careful. My wife made a gift of a box of non-latex condoms to each of our girls when they got their first serious boyfriends. After all, there's no reason a girl can't be prepared, too!

I'd totally understand if you don't want to answer this, but how did your daughters react to that?
-
You know, I'm honestly surprised by all the "Angus: Virgin?" talk!
I mean, for Angus, THIS IS IT! This is the big moment he's been waiting for, or at least one of the big ones that set an integral part of any relationship. Sex! (Even if it's the abstaining from it, that should still count as a healthy sexual relationship) He's not nervous because he's a virgin, and I don't think he's nervous because of Faye's issues, he's nervous because here is a new sexual partner. You know what they say about first impressions...and Angus seems like the kind of guy who would want to make everything perfect to impress Faye.
Well, that's what I have to weigh in on the topic.

Yes!! That's how parents SHOULD do it! Instead they pussyfoot around the subject and just hope they never ask. And we all know where that leads to.
On the subject of today's comic, I would like to say that there are FAR worse things that guys have that we don't say a word about yet we are expected to be pristine angels for you guys. (Yes I realize there was probably some sarcasm on Angus' part but still. Guys do have unreasonable expectations and that's why we have to pretty ourselves up so much before dates. -.- )

-new comic!-
Hey, there may not be any boot-knocking goin on for Angus, but you still have to be prepared! At least, I'm pretty sure that Faye's little jab there was implying that she wasn't talking about sex but just about sleeping together. But, with how...shall we say randy they've been the last few strips I suppose it wouldn't be much of a surprise at all if she were.
HAH! Called it!
-
"It's the size of a DIME!"
That was probably the best line of the comic.
-
With game like that, it would no longer surprise me to learn that Angus is ndeed a virgin.
...Indeed.

So no horizontal hula for Captain Backhair and DimePimple. :(
-
More art-kudos to Jeph for excellent expressions in today's strip. And once again Angus proves that his internal censor is a bit slow off the mark, but Faye's ever ready with the comeback. If ever Faye and Angus end up as an elderly couple, they'll be like Stadler and Waldorf.
A dime is about 18mm in diameter so I'm guessing Angus' sense of touch is exaggerating the size. And backhair? Eeeew! :laugh:
-
well he IS scottish! :roll:
-
I think this proves why, in certain quarters, "SPOOON!" is a battle cry....
(LOL, Sharp!)
-
Hm, looking at Angus's response in the first panel, I stand by my previous statement.
-
How so? I'm sure that you aren't implying that if he were not a virgin then he would have pressed the issue...but that's really the only way I can see your argument going. :psyduck:
If it's something else, by all means tell me. (seriously, no sarcasm here I just don't want to misinterpret you.)
-
Angus is a G, he doesn't have to worry about doing it right. It's sex with Faye that's the problem. A woman he spent so long idealizing and chasing after is now in his bed? I can understand the pressure.
On the real though, I don't think Faye would be so lucky as to date two professional sexmasters in a row. Jeph will probably have her say the sex was underwhelming just to throw a curveball at us and outline the discrepancy in her relationship between Angus and the one she had with Sven. One is good for his heart and sense of humor, the other fucks her senseless.
Now imagine her deciding she wants both...
-
WOW, Angus. Just WOW.
What. A. Douche. That's the kinda shit you keep to yourself, dude.
-
Sometimes his mouth gets ahead of his brain (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1687)
*Bad* timing.
-
Hmmmm niiiiiiiiiice commic ! :)
-
Yeah I think after smooth lines like talkin' about her dime-size butt-pimples, it's gonna be awhile before any sexin' happens between Angus and Faye. It sure ain't happening this time. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the evening ends with Faye jumping out of Angus' bed and leaving in a huff-women simply do not like having their flaws talked about, especially by the guys they're interested in!
Angus really needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut. Especially around a woman liable to beat the crap out of him for saying the wrong thing.
-
WOW, Angus. Just WOW.
What. A. Douche. That's the kinda shit you keep to yourself, dude.
Oh pffffffftttt, this is Faye and Angus we're talking about, it's par for the course with these two. It was awesome, to me, to watch them go from sweet and adorable to trading insults in the space of a minute. It's why they're perfect for each other!
-
uhoh....faye just added another period for angus to screw up in, im starting to get the feeling faye is going to break down after all....
I think the theory of angus wanting not pushing her and not wanting to chase her away is pretty much confirmed, and well have to wait some more for the virginity theory i guess..... :(
-
I'm torn between two intepretations:
- Angus' total foot from mouth moment luckily being turned into LOLs. Again. Or
- Angus reading it perfectly in the sense that as sexual tension was still high, he added some levity to the situation on purpose. Simultaneously letting Faye know that while he finds her very attractive he won't keep her on a pedestal of unrealistic expectations.
Of course, the fact that I dare suggest the latter interpretation (extrapolating on the learned Dr's post there) shows that I hope this relationship works out. Could Angus really be that confident? May be, but the previous strip says 'no!', so I don't know. Wait and see.
It would be a douchy move, indeed, to point out a minor blemish on a lady in many a situation. This turned out not to be one of them. It may be ok, if obviously made in jest and won't press her buttons (both of these conditions seem to be met here). If Faye would be about to bolt out of Angus' bed, she would have already done so. Sans Captain Backhair comment.
-
Firstly: New comic = ELL OH ELL
Oh Angus, never change. <3
I'll be honest, if I were Faye (well if I were in a situation like that, rather) I think I'd be like 'HEY, FUCKER!...aw, you really think of me like that? <3' I tend to hone in on the compliments automatically, might be my GINORMOUS EGO.
And *cough* I'd like to state that I actually never said Angus -is- a virgin, I was just theorizing about it as an interesting story angle. I'm sure the actual event will make him a little nervous, there's a lot of buildup there.
-
Aw I was kinda hoping Angus had some embarrassing secret lurking in his room that would make Faye think twice. I guess that embarrassing secret turned out to be just body hair :-P
-
Tomorrows comic will have Angus popping Faye's pimple and Faye shaving Angus' back.
:psyduck:
-
That's what you do for the ones you love.
Granted, Faye and Angus aren't really to that level yet, but one of the biggest benefits of having a significant other is body maintenance. It's why married people live significantly longer than single people. I've seen studies.
-
Faye shaving Angus' back.
Waxing. I can imagine Faye getting into that... :evil:
-
wax on...
wax off.
The family joke is that all the hair slid off my head and down my back. The time came when my daughters no longer wanted to rub the sunscreen on my back because of all the hair. Which made me realize I no longer needed sunscreen on my back, because of all the hair...
So they rub it on the top of my head, instead!
-
OT:
You have a weird family... :-o
-
Sigh. I really don't understand this current obsession with removing as much of the naturally occurring bodily hair as possible. I see the point of keeping the hair on your head (not that I would have too much hair left there) and face tidy as uncontrolled growth there could lead to health problems, but the rest of it rarely causes problems.
There was a time when I would have felt my masculinity threatened by the prospect of losing the hair on my chest. All 18 of them.
-
Angus - my vote for most flexible person in the comic.
Able to spoon, even with his foot in his mouth!
-
If Angus thinks that's bad, just wait til she farts under the covers.

I can understand it, if it was excessive and it lowered your confidence. Then again, I have kinda hairy arms, what I can only describe as a central patch of chest hair and a head full of hair that most likely will only get thicker and stronger as I get older. The only thing I have to worry about my hair is that my barber might get sick of me getting a haircut every couple of weeks :-P

This.
I think there's a counterpart to the backhanded compliment - call it the forehanded insult? nah, that doesn't make sense. Basically, "wow, you do have faults." Use with caution. I've had it backfire, and I 've had it work. The real core of his meaning was the "flawless angel" part - although his facial expression does seem to be more horror than snark.
Still, another example of Jeph's comic timing -- going from the big "AWWW" in panel to to "D'oh" in panel four. I read it all as witty banter, and I think they'll be just fine.

And please note the locations of the emergency exits.

The two of them can NOT help sassing each other.
They were MADE for each other. :-D :-D :-D
More art-kudos to Jeph for excellent expressions in today's strip. And once again Angus proves that his internal censor is a bit slow off the mark, but Faye's ever ready with the comeback. If ever Faye and Angus end up as an elderly couple, they'll be like Statler and Waldorf.
Not like that's not possible... (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=253)

wax on...
wax off.
The family joke is that all the hair slid off my head and down my back. The time came when my daughters no longer wanted to rub the sunscreen on my back because of all the hair. Which made me realize I no longer needed sunscreen on my back, because of all the hair...
So they rub it on the top of my head, instead!
OT:
You have a weird family... :-o
WIN.

In vague relevance to discussion upthread, I've been reading LieBot's twitter account and it might be a good thing that Angus didn't get it on with Marigold.

There was a time when I would have felt my masculinity threatened by the prospect of losing the hair on my chest. All 18 of them.
I can understand it, if it was excessive and it lowered your confidence. Then again, I have kinda hairy arms, what I can only describe as a central patch of chest hair and a head full of hair that most likely will only get thicker and stronger as I get older. The only thing I have to worry about my hair is that my barber might get sick of me getting a haircut every couple of weeks :-P
You're really rubbing the lotion it in, you know :-). I was referring to the tender age, when I was ever so conscious about the fact that removing my shirt in a public place would allow anyone to tell at a glance that I was a babyfaced adolescent as opposed to the burly man that I wanted to be.
Still I won't envy anyone with excessive amounts of bodily hair either. You have to find some way to use them hormones, don't ya?

Haha! I know, its great, my head is never cold in winter, and I save a fortune as I never have to buy a hat, not to mention my hair grows at a ridiculous rate :-P. But seriously, those areas I mentioned are the only areas that I have hair, but I also know it can be a real killer to go to the beach and not take off your t-shirt because you're afraid people will laugh or look at you funny. Thank god though that time is cyclical, the 80s are apparently back and chest hair is back in fashion.
-
Personally, I think being hairy is awful, and having a beard is the ugliest thing possible on a dude.
Then again, my beard is made of razor wire, and requires an epic, painful journey to shave, so I'm biased.
-
My beard is silky and moisturised. If I lose the beard I grow stubble back in about 6 hours. It is itchy and rough. Hence; beard.
On the other hand I remove most of my body hair. Except my chest and legs. I am also becoming worried about the number of similarities I have to Angus...
-
You're sleeping with someone with a large pimple on their butt?
-
I was more going for the back hair thing but that's not entirely inaccurate...
:psyduck:

Going with the tattoos on the real poll. No real deal-breakers in there, but tattoos in certain places would require some explaining.
But a Friday strip is also coming up. Are we gonna see
- a midnight itch, scratched (with dorsal hair or otherwise),
- morning snuggles,
- knowing looks and gossip greeting Faye at the morning shift of CoD, or
- waffles for breakfast?
-
* 15 minutes have passed, faye couldnt hold it any longer
thats what im anticipating
-

I agree with that, I don't mind tattoos, but what gets me is if she has several tattoos on different parts of her body. The tattoos aren't a dealbreaker for me, but its just looks bad to me if they seem haphazard and random. I'd much prefer it if she had several tattoos on her shoulder and arm than, say, one on her ankle, one on her inner wrist and another on her lower back.
-
Not a fan of the tramp stamp then?
-
I want Dora's therapy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although i find acceptable to wait a little more, since Jeph has to introduce a whole new character (The therapist)
So yeah, no much to say here.
Except that i really can't wait!!! :psyduck:
-
Not a fan of the tramp stamp then?
I don't mind it, but its more to do with the fact that I don't like tattoos spread around the body. I just think it looks better if they are in one area, and that my personal opinion.

I forgot to quote it but whoever called them "Captain Backhair and DimePimple" should get an award. I laughed so hard!
I've always been an Angus sympathiser but as a woman, that comment from him made me want to punch him in the mouth.
I had a boyfriend once who was in the bathroom. I asked to use it and he didn't leave. So he stood around while I started *going* and then he was like, "I have to go, I can't listen to my dream girl pooping." It pissed me off then and it pisses me off now. Yeah that kind of intimacy and knowledge will always dull the mystery a bit, but I don't want to be any pedastals. I'm a person. I poop. I fart. I have butt zits. BTW he also had enough back hair that he could have braided it and then worn wrap it around his waist like a belt and I didn't say anything because I wasn't expecting him to be perfect.
So back on point, grrrrrrr. Shut up Angus. You have filled me with hate.
-
If Angus thinks that's bad, just wait til she farts under the covers.
Ha! Tomorrow's strip: DUTCH OVEN.
:psyduck: <-- should be holding his nose instead
-
I have several tattoos myself and I have worked as a tattoo artist. Body art means a lot to me. So for me the deal breaker aspect rest solely on the BAD tattoos. I take art in general seriously and body art in particular. If someone has a ton of really shitty meaningless tattoos, i tend to find it a turn-off.
-
Angus is a G, he doesn't have to worry about doing it right. It's sex with Faye that's the problem. A woman he spent so long idealizing and chasing after is now in his bed? I can understand the pressure.
On the real though, I don't think Faye would be so lucky as to date two professional sexmasters in a row. Jeph will probably have her say the sex was underwhelming just to throw a curveball at us and outline the discrepancy in her relationship between Angus and the one she had with Sven. One is good for his heart and sense of humor, the other fucks her senseless.
Now imagine her deciding she wants both...
Everything gets better with practice.
I have tried the "Let's not have sex lets just cuddle all night" scene. It never worked out that way. I either spent the night tossing and turning feeling frustrated or ... well something else ended up happening that wasn't exactly cuddling. :)

Well, where you can say that Sven was a master at sex, who is to say he is a master of making love, eh? There IS a difference. Sure, sex is sex is sex, but fucking and making love are two comletely different experiences.
So in the Banging category, sure lets give Sven the upper hand. (not too closely now)
But in the actual lovey-dovey, emotionally investing bedroom antics, I vote for Angus.
-
Hey! What's wrong with dragons? :mrgreen:
their lame 99% of the time, the only dragon that actually look really badass and not like some freaky winged lizard is probably deathwing (World o' Warcraft)

It's OK if the Pugnacious Peach breaks wind under the covers, because it will smell like roses and fresh-baked cookies.
-
So, Angus . . . .
Boxers, Briefs or Commando?
-
It looks to like Angus does shave his back hair, and chest. And miiight want to consider waxing, or laser treatment.
Hmm... don't most people with a back hair problem have hairy arms?
-
(crosses his arms at NL's comment)
I... I don't know what you're talking about. :| :psyduck:

I would have to disagree about forearm tattoos being for people who won't have tax-paying jobs. The astrophysics professor at my university, who also happens to be my boss and undergraduate research adviser, has sleeves on both his forearms. He very much has a tax-paying job, and brings in tons of grant money for research.
Similar with facial tattoos; as long as they aren't obnoxious they'd probably get a pass. Heck, even Starfleet lets you in with face-art.

Angus wears boxers (http://www.questionablecontent.net/1505)

An upcoming script ...
FAYE: Want to hear something weird?
DORA: Sure.
FAYE: At first, I though Angus had the word SWAN tattooed on his penis.
DORA: At first?
FAYE: Yeah. Turns out it says SASKATCHEWAN.

By the way - and it took me a bit to dig this up - compare today with 604 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=604).
Who's the better man - and the better woman?

Nah tattoo's are okay as long as it doesnt get to freaky, i generally dislike anything beyond shoulder pieces tho, half sleeves and full sleeves are just ugly imo
meaningless ankle, wrist and trampstamps are worse tho

I only have one, it symbolizes my dad, it means the world to me. The tattoo artist however, didn't understand, and now I have a golf ball in snow instead of a moon with clouds slightly covering it. I've gone to see about having another artist fix it, to make it look more like a damn moon. At the time I didn't have the money, and he was wanting to charge me about $200 for it to be slightly altered (basically to add more shading to it).
My mistake was I was 18, I didn't shop around for an artist, I went to my best-friends...boyfriends...best-friend (yeah one of those things) who owned his own shop. The whole time he was trying to convince me to get a crescent moon, and I told him a full moon nothing else. Thing is, he does awesome work, mine however, he just didn't give a shit because it wasn't what he wanted to do. However, I was so proud when I got it and had to rush home to show my dad. I had said I was going to get that tattoo ever since I was 14, and as soon as I could, I went and got it. It's on my right shoulder. To me, a decent spot. =] I really do want to get it fixed though.
-
I wonder why the calf area is not represented on that tattoo chart? That's where all of my tattoos are. Easy to hide, even with capri pants in the warmer weather, and also easy to show if I'm in the mood.
-
Sign you've REALLY been coming on here too much:
You notice that Jeph has changed the title banner of the comic.

That is a shame. It is unfortunate when an artist does sloppy work. Sadly I have seen that happen far too often. I was fortunate enough to have a tattoo artist who cares about is profession and will work with the customer to make sure they get what they really want. I designed all my own tats and knew exactly what I wanted, he basically copied directly from my own designs. All but two of my tattoos have personal significance to me, barring the first one I got when I was 18 and just wanted to get one.
I hope you manage to get yours fixed one day, especially given its personal significance to you.

Imagine how many scary ones there would be in the movie about fonts (http://www.questionablecontent.net/1760).
An amazing number of relevant results show up if you search for "movies about typography".
-

. . . . . . . Brush Script
-
awww Hannelore
-
I doubt Sven would have scary fonts in that movie. No no, more likely a whole bunch of really racy fonts, like American Typewriter, or Courier New if the girl's into the vintage look.
If he really wanted to get Hanners in the mood, he'd have some smutty explicit thing with a bunch of Georgia and Goudy Old Style all over the place, maybe with some Museo in there just to be a fucking pervert
-
I bet she secretly has a sick fetish for......wingdings.
That's right. I went there.
-
Looks like Marigold made it out of the building okay. Wonder if she's going to spend the night at Hannelore's to avoid any further awkwardness with Angus and Faye?
Also, I'm starting to feel like I'm the only one here who isn't a complete nerd when it comes to fonts. I use Fixedsys (looked that up) in Notepad solely because it's the first fixed-width font I found in the list, along with whatever the default font in OpenOffice is, and that's about as far as I'm willing to go. Am I really in the minority here?
-
It's incredibly amazing to me that nobody has gushed about the amazing depth of character and originality (http://www.pvponline.com/2011/01/27/get-a-grip/) in Jeph's writing yet. But it'll come soon enough, I'm sure.
-
Hi Scott, how's things?
-
Nothing wrong with introducing an old joke into a new setting. The originality comes in the contextualising and punchline. I'm not really into gushing but it's a pretty decent treatment.
Scott Kurtz wasn't the originator of the joke either (I can remember it being used in Harold Lloyd films) and to be fair, didn't even do it as well.

After this latest comic, I'd love to see Hannelore's reaction after watching "The Legend of the Overfiend".

Having been to rotten, 4chan, portalofevil, and pintsize's twitter page, I'm not sure what kind of stuff you've seen that's so much worse.
However my point was, if exposed to any of it, one having seen Overfiend would be able to say "Well, I've seen things like that already".

No. For all my serious typ(esett)ing I use whatever font LaTeX defaults to in the plain text body. Computer modern roman?

A dime is about 18mm in diameter so I'm guessing Angus' sense of touch is exaggerating the size. And backhair? Eeeew! :laugh:

Been searching my archives for a while, and now I can't find it. I swear I saved it and sent it to an ex way back when, but it's up and vanished. So, just trust me, it's out there. (Worse than a blue waffle?..........I'm gonna say maybe.)
-
Mental note - Hanners is to keep away from my Hammer Horror collection, the fonts for the title shots will be too much - seriously, if the style of letters freaks you out, Chris Lee reading his grocery list will likely induce pant soiling terror.

I can just hear Hannelore's piercing note, making your eardrums secondarily rumble as part of it goes into a range too high for a human male to hear.

Yes. No one has ever, in the entire history of man, ever used that gag before. No. One.
Though man, it's been a while since I've looked at PvP, and the art's gotten bland as unflavored farina, hasn't it? Wow. It's like looking at a Phonics book.
