8 PM (EST) and no one's started the WCDT, so I'm givin it a shot for the first time. Hooray
-
I say Faye pukes on her own puke while she pukes.
-
And we're off to another week.
EDIT: Phbttt. Someone call Paul.
EDIT 2: IDUHG took care of it. Carry on.
-
Yo Dawg! I heard you like to puke, so we put some puke in your puke so you can puke while you puke!!!!!
-
Hmmm... two threads, but this one has the correct dates.
-
Yeah, jwhouk's went up 2 minutes after mine :psyduck:
-
And two threads to post in! And two polls! And date confusion!
-
8 PM (EST) and no one's started the WCDT, so I'm givin it a shot for the first time. Hooray
That's because I posted it 11 minutes LATER. Give me a break, it's my FRIGGIN' ANNIVERSARY.
-
I can merge them if need be, but I don't know what happens to the polls if I do. Thoughts?

I wasn't slammin' you dude I didn't even know you were gonna make it this week.
-
The poll questions seem to essentially be the same. Maybe you could merge all the options from the other thread into this one then delete the other (I only suggest keeping this thread because it has a bunch of replies).
If that's not painful to do, that is.
-
Define painful.
On second thought, please don't.
-
He's actually got the better voting options.
-
EDIT: I admitted that I didn't exactly have the best poll options compared to his. We're good now.

I say Faye pukes on her own puke while she pukes.
She has hinted at that possibility (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=683) although in a different context.
EDIT: Happy Anniversary, jwhouk, friggin' or otherwise.
-
These polls may have turned me off waffles for life.
edit: Oh yeah, happy friggin' anniversary, jwhouk. Knew I forgot something. :)
-
I third the wishing of your anniversary to be happy! :-)
-
Iechyd Da! to you and yours, jwhouk
-
I can merge them if need be, but I don't know what happens to the polls if I do. Thoughts?
I can't vote because i'm a convicted felon.
-
Congratulations jwhouk!
-
Congrats on the ani!
I think we're going to see Marten head to the party while Faye stays at home and manages to get into trouble all on her lonesome.
-
She might not be alone, though.
-
dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
-
May your friggin' anniversary be happy and full of frigging, JW!

All outta banjo, but I just listened to an excellent mandolin player that could play duets all by himself. Will he do?

Angus Young?
-
This week's possibilities:
Marten leaves Faye behind. When she sobers up she gets pissed off at him for not being a mind reader and realising she's having problems. Their confrontation quickly evolves into a discussion that helps Faye clarify her thinking about Angus.
Marten goes out. Faye hurts herself by slipping in the bathtub or something like that. Although she doesn't blame Marten he spends the next two weeks comiic time feeling guilty, especially when he figures out she was weirded out about Angus, and that's why she was drunk.
Marten stays to look after Faye. When he encounters Padma again she's angry he didn't show up, because she wanted to hook up with him. She leaves for LA on a sour note.
-
Happy anniversary, jwhouk. Let us toast to the next twelve months your name doesn't make any sense to me. :-D
... *toasts*
Hm... I just got a thought:
Marten goes dancing with Padma, they get to talking. He tells her about Faye's condition... she forgets all about the nice dance~y-date and goes into Dorie-from-Finding-Nemo-mode. She drags him back to his appartment, they find Faye sound asleep on the couch (with Pintsize in pieces in the corner) and decide to go at it in the bedroom.
Wait.. I forgot something. Hm... yeah, Elliot. Where does he come in during all this?
(This was all hopelessly exaggerated.. I don't know why.)
-
She might not be alone, though.
Until the comic's posted and it proves me wrong I'm going with my "Marten leaves and then Faye does something stupid." One of those things could easily be inviting over someone and then doing something ELSE stupid. Entirely possible. (I honestly hope she just sleeps it off and is then all embarrassed in the morning. I want plot thread resolutions more than I want new drama at this point in the story.)
-
Why not have both? :angel: :-D :psyduck:
-
Why not have both? :angel: :-D :psyduck:
I think you killed Cornan...on the inside.
I have to agree with him, though... I can't take the drama anymore. I want a happy world full of bunnies and pink sunshine!

Marten leaves Faye home alone, Faye must defend the apartment from two bumbling burglars by using drunken boxing.
-
Hyvää hääpäivää teille molemmille, jwhouk

Bleah.
Had my dose of cute for the month already, thank you - a friend brought by 6 brand new kittens.
They were crawling with fleas.

Okay okay, then I will personally "gore up" every one of this week's strips for you, so you don't have to endure all the cute and fluffy.
(I should not have written that... helplessly uncontrollable brain in overdrive now.)
This is gonna be one hell of a monday... no matter what Jeph decides on unleashing upon us in comic form.

Not quite what I meant by not more drama. :lol:
I just would like to see some of the plot lines we've been following at least diverted onto the next track before new plot threads are woven. Of course, We can resolve things while instantly opening up new conflicts but that tends to cheapen the payoff and then each successive plot resolution lacks punch because we're just waiting for the next thing immediately. No catharsis, if you will.
And since the comic has now been posted it looks like I was wrong anyhow (possibly). Faye looks dead-set on going and Marten doesn't seem to be talking her out of it so I guess we're getting wacky hijinks drunken-Faye style. I would like to point out to the "Marten is a horrible friend!" people from last week that he did just ask why she was drinking and she brushed his question off. See? He's not a horrible human being after all!
-
Hannelore is being even cuter than usual.
-
Ze tension, zhe... zhe tightens.
Yes Marten is not a horrible friend.
He's just got a case of the slows. Understandable given the situation.
Hijinks are certainly afoot, and I'm less worried about Faye, because she's at least sober enough to not want to talk about why she's not sober. ( :|)
-
Ze tension, she... tightens. :psyduck:
And ze goggles, zey do noting!
I hope Hanners actually "learned" (=compulsively inhaled) those moves. It would be SO rad to see her pull off some of them... (there's an idea for fanart!)
-
We may be seeing them. Jeph said something on Twitter about challenging but fun artwork.
-
Wait, what kind of dancing ARE we talking about? I assumed Padma meant club dancing, but Marten seems to be implying that it's classical dancing. Hanners' somewhere in between with the Flashdance getup.
-

Just because she suffers from OCD doesn't mean she can't be a maniac on the floor. In fact, it may actually help.
Either way, she'll be dancing like she's never danced before...

Its the usual odd coupling of misunderstandings (intentions, percetions, preparations, reactions all flying past each other) that always ends in a fun night no one was adequately prepared for ... just roll with it. :-D
@akronnick:
Thats what I meant. She has shown remarkable OCD-induced learning abilities in the past. (Also, being a drummer helps with dancing. I know.)
edit:
I'm going to sit back and relax now. Tired of trying to guess what kind of freight train Karambolage is coming next. Just gonna let it happen and enjoy it seeing as we don't seem to be missing out on the dancing after all. =)

For comic #2041...
1. Panel-for-panel, Hanners looks great for this strip. I must say that I was wondering at "why" she was wearing such an outfit until the punchline of #2041.
2. I hope Hanners does go dancing is this outfit :wink: , rather than re-using the blue dress yet again.
3. I assumed that Padma's dancing invitation was for club-dancing, especially since she gave Marten leave to invite any/all of his friends to come with.
4. I personally would love to see a ballroom dancing bit :-) . Not for the current story-arc, just in general at some point.
5. I wonder if Elliot will be there for dancing?
6. I also wonder if Dora will too? The potetial drama of the next portion of this story-arc is a deep tub to hold lots with sloshing water with, especially since Faye is already "sloshed."
-

So long as she doesn't do the Macarena. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN62PAKoBfE)
-
Marten should dress up a bit. That is the most boring t-shirt I've seen. Also, did Faye's head get smaller lately?
-
Aw, Hanners tries to help. I assumed club dancing too in which case, I'd tell Marten it doesn't matter how he looks. At least to most of the club, if he really wants to impress Padma he might be in trouble, assuming she cares about dancing as more than just a way to have fun.
Looks like Faye is still coming along. Last week people were talking about Sven showing up now when she's drunk and freaked out about her relationship and he misses her body. I want to Sven again but not like that. NOT LIKE THAT. That said while anatagonists-with-benefits he said he'd "never intentionally" hook up with a taken girl. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1319)
Also, my college internet blocks archive searchs for comics with Sven as "Offensive and Tastleless content" but not Pintsize.
-
I just noticed something... has Hanners ever shown this "much" skin in an open social interaction before? She's growing with her challenges...
-
Hanners is really rocking the 80's Dirty Dancing look in this strip. I like it!
-
Right decade, Wrong movie.
-
1. Panel-for-panel, Hanners looks great for this strip. I must say that I was wondering at "why" she was wearing such an outfit until the punchline of #2041.
Hanners' off-the-shoulder outfit is, I think, a shout-out to that worn by Jennifer Beals in Flashdance. Dancing, even more perhaps than drumming, is "counting with your whole body", so it should appeal to Hanners. The cleanliness of the average club? Not so much.
I confess I had never heard of Merce Cunningham and had to look him up. But then, according to a quotation on Wikipedia, he thought that the I Ching was published in the 1950s... So I guess we're even.
-
Right decade, Wrong movie.
…And now I'm imagining Hanners in a welding mask and fitted coveralls….

She did that already in one strip when she tried to fix Marten's thumb that he hit with a hammer.

She's worn tank-tops where you can see her bra-straps to work. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1856)

-
Woa Hanners looks really cute! I keep thinking that Faye's going to do something stupid.
-
Yeah. May well be that Hanners has spent 18 hours (or more) polishing her Flashdance. Too bad the drummer may not
get to show off those moves on stage, if Deathmole ever gets a gig!
It's a relief to see Faye with the rest of them. At this point she is more likely to just embarrass herself in an epic way, but that's ok. She (and her reputation) will survive. It doesn't feel likely that she would hurt herself (or her relationship) during their evening's entertainment.
-
4. I personally would love to see a ballroom dancing bit :-) . Not for the current story-arc, just in general at some point.
That strikes me as something we'd see in a Wil and Penelope strip. He seems like he might be the kind of person who'd have learned it, and she seems like the kind of person who'd love to do it, especially if it meant dressing up in some sort of fancy dress.
-
I dub thee "Hannelauper."
-
My advice to Marten at this point is drawn from personal experience: The more drunk the people around you are, the better the dancer you are. And in my case, even the sober ones had to admit I was dancin' like I'd never danced before.
"No, seriously," they'd say. "You've never done this before, have you?"
Hanners kinda reminds me of a friend who'd go from oneinterest/obsession to another. First, there were stacks of books about bicycles. Then one day, wham, thousand-dollar bike and industrial-grade spandex everywhere. Then, books about motorcycles. Next thing you know, a BMW road machine (well, EVERYONE has a Harley these days) -- gotta give him credit, though; his last couple job interviews took him from one end of the US to the other on that motorbike, plus a couple other trips just for fun, not to mention motorbiking through Croatia (though let's be reasonable; he flew over and rented another motorbike). Nothing but admiration for that guy. If Hanners had his focus, she'd have her own space station. WITH a CoD franchise on board. And then she'd move to the moon.
-
Someone's gonna end up with Faye's vomit on them before the night is over. Maybe Marten, but more likely Padma or Elliot (assuming he shows). Possibly even poor Hannelore-I can see it now, Faye BLORRRFFing all over her, and the poor girl going completely BSOD and requiring yet another hard reset. Along with a disinfectant scrub and a long scalding hot shower.
-
A note from someone who lived through the 1980's and survived: Hannelore looks less like Jennifer Beals and more like Olivia Newton-John from her Physical days.
-
Agreed. Beals didn't wear a headband, Olivia did in the "Physical" video. Of course the blonde hair helps lead to the comparison. It is possible Jeph simply meant her to look like a typical dancer in their practice clothes, since he was 3 when Flashdance came out.
-
since [Jeph] was 3 when Flashdance came out.
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
thanks for making certain members of this board feel positively ancient, ya crazy canuck.
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
-
Hanners certainly looks cute in her dance outfit!
-
I'm starting to worry about Faye. She is way too happy for someone that's drunk on Coping Mechanism. To me it looks like she's in serious self-denial mode, and if that's the case she is not going to be pleasant to be around when she finally does crash.
In other news, yeah Hannelore! You can always trust her presence to lighten any situation.
-
am I the only one who noticed that Jeph didn't fill in the space between Martin's fingers with red on the third panel? When I was watching on his live stream I was thinking "I bet he did that on purpose to see if any nitpicking jerks like me would mention it"
Anyway, for the actual content, I don't think Faye seems way too happy. Obviously she's in serious self-denial mode; that's why she got plastered. Sounds like she fully intends on going with Marten and Hanners. Maybe she'll catapult Jimbo across the room?
-

:angel:

The cover is just that way. Hanners' fingers were covering the Green and Peach spots on the back cover before Marten took the book.

She did that already in one strip when she tried to fix Marten's thumb that he hit with a hammer.
That was just a plastic face-shield for protection against splash etc. A welding mask is very different. I hope it is not necessary to warn anybody here not to confuse the two, but I've seen the results of arc-welding with inadequate eye protection in the ER at work, and it is SO not pretty.

I'm in the same boat. It's funny to see some of the fashions over the last year or so and think about how they'd fit in with what girls were wearing when I was in high school.
-
Oooooh, this night ain't goinna end well....
Side note: Apparently 'ain't' is a proper-spelled word, but 'gonna' isn't... This can only mean one thing...
'AIN'T' IS FINALLY A WORD!!!
-
I think that Faye is going to go out and end up having a long heartfelt discussion with Jimbo, who happens to be at the club getting ideas for a new book.
By the end of the night Faye will sober up and realize that there is no reason to panic, thanks to Jimbo.
-
Gosh, Marten's stern resolve sure held out there. :-P
-
No one has gone anywhere yet. Don't go folding him prematurely!
-

Gonna is a properly spelled word when you don't spell it with an i :-P
I never understood why ain't wasn't a word to begin with, but then again, I'm from Alabama. I think y'all is a real word and when I'm about to do something I'm fixin' to do it.
-
First, I went "ERK!" in my head... then I wondered if she was truly pantsless... then I went "ERK!" again.
-
Considering how Hanners reacted when Marten and Amir saw her "underpants action"... I can't really picture her going pantless without another strong medication.
Not that it's not a good piece of filler art; I just don't see Hanners that way. :)
-
Wait, when did she worry about Marten and Amir seeing her underpants? All I remember is her scrubbing herself down in their bathroom and once walking into CoD trouserless.
Hannelore and public nudity go together like Russel Brand and... public nudity.
-
Jeph! What are you doing to me? Ever since yesterday I've been improbably imagining Hanners instead of Jennifer Beals in the famous audition scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jma4LTHhNJY), and now this?! Seriously adorable filler though.
-
You know you've been studying too much ancient history when you see today's strip and think that Hannelore is wearing a toga.
Actually, come to think of it, that just makes it even better... D'awwwwwww. ;D
-

I refer you to 1187. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1187)
-
Yeah, but she's 'Grown' since then.
And ya gotta admit, she does look kinda cute.
-
She is simultaneously cuter and more creepy than I've ever seen her.
-
She looks very boneable in that picture, and I don't care who knows it.
-
hot damn
-
Thursday is inexplicably Pintsize and Winslow as The Blues Brothers
I want to see this filler art. I want it now. And I think I want a shirt of it...
-

I shudder to think what kind of band they'll be putting back together...
-

Third "ERK!" for the day, thank you.
This whole conversation reminds me of the time Dora did her booty-dance and Marten spontaneously went "en point"... if the little guy does ballett moves at the party I'm gonna make fanart about it :-D
-
Man, it will be super awkward if Elliot tags along to the dance... :psyduck:
-
No one else found that filler art of Hanners strange and inappropriate? If there's one person I don't want sexualized in any way, it's the character I identify with my little sister...
-

I don't think it was intended to be sexy really. She was wearing shorts and sitting like that with an over sized top you couldn't see them. And then ships set sale.
Also, now we know that Faye IS coming with Marten to the dance. Could be interesting.
-
Man, it will be super awkward if Elliot tags along to the dance... :psyduck:
No way. If there's anything the 80s taught me, it's that nothing on this earth brings people together like the magic of dance!
I was taught it was goblins and the Magic Dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViftZTfRSt8).
-
I guess it's all about the angles, but it certainly looks like Elliot gained 30 lbs between the last two panels. Maybe Faye's chubbiness is contagious! :laugh:
-
I want to see Elliot try this sleeper hold of his when Faye's sober....
-
For comic #2042...
1. Yay for Hannelore going dancing in the "Flashdance" outfit. I think we will see quite a few guys drawn to her whilst dancing, and that will make for good comedy &/or drama. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the cast act to "protect" everyone's favorite nervous-breakdown-waiting-to-happen.
2. Poor Faye, our southern punching belle is finding out that size and mass do count against you in a fight, as much as being drunk. The way Faye was side-sneaking around Elliot in panel #2 in order to flank-attack him was pretty funny once I read the punchline panel and retroactively figured it out :-) .
3. Good for Elliot feeling better despite love-confession rejection. As I had said earlier, it may not have been the "best" thing to do, but it was the "correct" thing to do. Elliot's look of relief was also well done.
4. Elliot should go to dancing too. Past the initial awkwardness, he should spend as much time with the girl he cares about so much before she is gone.
5. Regardless of how things turn out with Padma, I think Marten has definitely made a friend in Elliot. Which is also good, Marten could use more male friends at this time. Plus it keeps ties with The Secret Bakery too, once Padma moves away.
6. I admit that I did not know that "Pond" was a band, either. And also thought of Doctor Who (#11) companion Amy Pond ("Come along Pond(s)!").
7. "Flashdance" Hanners filler drawing (http://jephjacques.com/post/11901661269/filler-drawing-that-ended-up-not-being-filler) is both cute and sexy, in my opinion. Perhaps not simultaneously together, but definitely both 8-) .
-
Hanners pantsless does kinda confuse my brain. I'll agree it's both cute and creepy.
Faye in the background of panel 2 is really funny to me. I like today's comic a lot, it just hits me right so much.
-
The thing Faye is gonna regret the most come next morning is that she tried to give Elliot an "Indian Burn" ... that is so primary school, she will have an embarassed fitz.
(Also, I apologize for using a semi-racist term ...)
Once I'm home I'll fix that whole "pantsless"-situation. ... I just can't let it stand like that, by thunder!
-
Which is also good, Marten could use more male friends at this time.
He probably could, especially ones less douchey than Steve.
-
Yeah, I'm kinda creeped out by that filler pic, almost looks like it's trying to be cheesecake or something.
Not because it isn't sexy, but because it's Hanners. (And, it certainly does look like she's pantsless in the unused filler, and not wearing shorts, especially given 2041.)
(How long before we need that Weekly Comic Discussion strip, involving the bearhat guy, and saying not to be that guy?)
As for the comic, good to see that Elliot is handling it well now. (And, hopefully Jeph feels better soon, seeing his comments on Twitter.)
-

Um, wow. He actually made a non-filler comic for tonight.
WHAT. A. CHAMPION. :-D :-D :-D
-
If anything, this gets rid of any doubts that Elliot and Elliot the bouncer are one in the same, right?
-
Either Elliot's built like an ox, or Faye really is blasted if she can't even lift his arm.
-
Aw c'mon, it's meant to be cute, NOT creepy, the Hanners filler art is just a reference to the old Flashdance poster. Nothing more, nothing less, certainly not "zomg she's not wearing pants".
I'm looking forward to some Padma/Faye drunken boxing.

OUCH! Didn't think about that... Sounds painful! :evil:

Ahh, too young to get the reference. Got it.

For comparison, and for those who don't know it, here is the original:
(http://cassland.org/images/flashdance-original.jpg)
-
Still on your wall, eh?
-
Oh, I remember the original, all right.
Keep in mind, shippers:
1. This is not Pittsburgh, and
2. Hannelore is very likely wearing underwear.
-
Hanners also does all her own dancing.
-
POND
My first association here is Doctor Who, not the band... :P
-
Hanners also does all her own dancing.
I did not know that.
...
Another childhood illusion crumbles. :-(
-
Of course she's wearing underwear. But that's still pretty daring; she might as well be going out in just her underwear.
-
BTDT (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=800).

-
Oh, come on. Isn't anyone gonna comment on how freakin adorable the last panel is? In her present condition, right now Faye's the ornery yappy pug to Elliot's german shepherd. But to see her trying to bring down someone twice her size to protect Marten is kinda really cute. :laugh:
-
In a fight between Faye and Elliot I still put my money on Faye.
-
I'm with ya, iduguphergrave. Terrier Faye is almost as cute as "NO nonononono" Faye in the preceding comic. And I admire Elliott's professionalism.
As for Flashdance Hanners, the poster is sexy, funny and cute. (EDIT: And Akima's Photoshoppery over in the fanart thread makes it even better). The art is nowhere near as creepy as some of the comments and speculation about it are.
-
But to see her trying to bring down someone twice her size to protect Marten is kinda really cute. :laugh:
Except that Elliot has not done anything at all threatening. I'm sorry, but I don't find drunken fits of stupidity very cute. Amusing, maybe. Very rarely adorable.
I actually hope that Marten does invite Elliot along. He seems to be doing better now, and it might be good for him to get a chance to talk to Padma again, face to face. I'm sure she doesn't want to leave on such a sour note (with him) any more than he does.
-
I really hope he doesn't. It'd be nice for them to part on a good note, but for Marten to invite him along would be well overstepping his boundaries. After all, she invited him to have a good time; inviting someone likely to cause drama would just be wrong.
-
I was assuming that Padma will have invited both of them anyway, as she did for the hike; and they have met in the road on the way to the dance venue.
-
Yeah, I expect that Padma invited Elliot too. It seems like her nature as well: remember that one of her big concerns about Elliot's confession was how he called in the next day. Obviously she doesn't want to leave with any weirdness between her friends, and inviting Elliot is probably her way of saying "forget about it and have fun." Now to find out if it actually works: I can't help but notice that Jeph seems to be steering two relationship dramas onto a collision course, and I'm sure if that's the case then he has plenty of hilarity planned for the event.
-
What's the worst that could happen?

I'm sorry, but I don't find drunken fits of stupidity very cute. Amusing, maybe. Very rarely adorable.
I'm guessing you don't find Tai as adorable as I do, then?

I'd better not mention that Harrison Ford didn't do all the action scenes in the Indiana Jones films, and Tom Cruise didn't really fly his jet fighter in Top Gun... :roll:

7. "Flashdance" Hanners filler drawing (http://jephjacques.com/post/11901661269/filler-drawing-that-ended-up-not-being-filler) is both cute and sexy, in my opinion. Perhaps not simultaneously together, but definitely both 8-) .
This required me to dredge up Michael Sembello out of the deepest recesses of my iTunes library... still trying to work up the courage to hit "genius" and see what other evils lurking down there have been stirred up..

I have only one criticism of Comic 2042 and I offer it somewhat hesitantly, because of Jeph's accounting of how it came to be, but here goes. A character secondary to that installment's events will pop on for one panel and vanish thereafter. Most of the time it's one of the AnPCs, who will deliver a line and vanish, even though the scene never shifts. This time it's Hanners. Her reax, even wordless, to whatever Faye's trying to do to Elliott would have added to this episode. Instead, it looks like she ran off; there are "camera" angles in 2042 which could have included her at least incidentally. As I said, I offer this criticism hesitantly because of Jeph's mentions on Twitter and Tumblr as to how 2042 almost didn't happen. I should also mention in fairness that I think Faye's antics in 2041, (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2041) immediately preceding, are a good example of how to do what I'm talking about ... And Jeph handled it particularly well in one strip, (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1831) post-"Dorapocalypse," in which the gang plus Veronica are walking along and encounter Sven. Hanners' background reax (and Tai's), though only incidental to the action, help make that strip.
EDIT: Then again, maybe we'll find out in 2043 that Hanners DID run off, still thinking Elliott is a knife killer or something. Or not. :?

Eh, I don't think it'd cause much drama.
I do have a horrid suspicion of what might cause drama at the dance-place, but I'm keeping my mouth shut because I really hope it doesn't happen.
Let's get it out of the way: I suspect your horrid suspicion would involve Padma and Marten making teh kisses in front of Elliot.
EDIT: And I suspect Hanners is frozen in her tracks watching Faye try to "attack" Elliot.

Of course Harrison Ford didn't do all the action scenes in the Indiana Jones films. Everyone knows Han Solo just did those movies for extra money during a recession in the smuggling trade.

Well, that was dumb.

She was certainly swinging, that's for sure.
A punch.

It's a reference to ... to ...
Gah, I'll leave it to the archive geeks. :)
Anyway, after I got over being startled, it was pretty funny.
-
For those confused about what is going on, remember the first time they met (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1857).
Also, is that at long last another glimpse of cross-neck guy in the second panel? Looks like it could be!
-
Oy! Never to the face like that! Even if you are expecting a block! :x
Now we shall mourn the untimely passing of Faye's glasses.
-
Violent or not, Padma looks seriously good in that dress!
-
I hope Faye's glasses aren't broken!
I hope her nose isn't broken!
-
I suspect both are; looks like Marten's night out ends with a trip to the ER with Faye. Well done Padma.
Drunk people make lousy sparring partners.
-
Hmm... :-o yep, things will only go downhill from here

all I have to say is
I was kind of anticipating a Dune reference in the near future, and
there it is.
Which means I must be psychic :-)

For comic #2043...
1. Aw, guess Elliot was not there to meet up for dancing :-( .
2. Is that supposed to be our yet unnamed "neck-scar dude" from The Secret Bakery next to Padma in panel #2?
3. Padma in panel #3 looks great art-wise. And Padma also looks good with her longer hair-down. Though I still favor the hair-up look.
4. @pwhodges... I am pretty sure Faye's glasses are broken, looking at how the glasses' halves are angling outward like that upon impact. Poor Faye, looks like she needs a new pair of glasses now. Also traded in her drunk bubbles for dazed stars. The look on her punched face made me laugh, though.
5. Perhaps I am overthinking (or more likely brain-numb thinking) this, but I think it is a pretty clever way to induce a change in Faye's look too, since we have been seeing lots of character looks' changes in recent. Perhaps Faye will get a non-square glasses this time around...?
6. Hanners at the ready with pepper-spray also made me laugh. And apparrently Jeph's favorite panel draw too.
7. I will never tire of Dune references in this web-comic. Long live the Fighters!
8. Funny sign in the background.
NO
- Loitering
- Skateboarding
- Puking
- Peeing
- Fucking <= (aw, no "fun" in a public alley after dancing? disappointing)
- thanks!
9. @TheoGB... The Faye & Padma fight-gag started back at Number 1857: An Auspicious Meeting (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1857), continued in Number 1928: Is that Krav Maga? (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1928), and now here in #2043. The fight-gag between them is to show Faye & Padma's friendly rivalry (with leanings more towards the "friend" part) with each other, giving our southern punching belle someone to relate to easily by nature.
Archive Jockey, away! *flies off leaving a rainbow flight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwL_b6tlT_8) exhaust trail*

I guess today's last panel has healed your soul. :)
Hm... first episode of Rorouni Kenshin comes to mind. With Kaoru pulling something very similar.
My thoughts:
Judging by the angle of the individual glasses in panel 4, those spectacles are definitely unusable for the remainder of the evening.
Padma is not only rude for punching Faye, she's also rude for not even saying hello before doing it. (I mean, come on!)
Hanner's expression in the last panel made my day. Immensely well done.
Padma = Elisa Maza?
Starting an evening on such an embarassing note doesn't necessarily ruin it. We might still get to see some dancing. Don't give up hope!
@VonKleist:
What Dune reference? I usually get most of them by myself, but this one I can't seem to find. oO
@pendrake:
Damn you. Damn you and your fast typing. :-D

Wild Padma uses Mach Punch!! It's super effective!!

10. @Soulsynger... Was not that fast, I had 4-ish "Warning - new replies" while writing my initial post :wink: .
- #2043's Dune reference was Padma going, "Eeeeeee...Chah!" This was the referencing the 1984 Dune movie where the Fremen warriors were using (movie) sonic-weapons instead of (novel's) crysknives to penetrate the personal force-fields of the Imperium's soldiers.
- Also, Elisa Maza of Disney's Gargoyles rocked. /highfive Soulsynger

Padma hit her so hard her shirt changed color.
Oh boy... Faye went pretty Velma (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=67) last time this happened.

Curse my youth then... and curse me never watching the 1984 Dune movie.
/highfive ... Yeah, she did! I just couldn't help but seeing a bit of her in Padma today... something about her hair or expression... dunno. oO
-
Well, Padma is rocking that dress and with the hair done but OW. I remembered their first meeting and sparring as soon as I saw the comic but still, full force punch to the face seems silly even if you're expecting to be blocked. Faye's glasses look very much broken, if her nose isn't too. Seems she's popper the drunk bubbles too.
That does look like Scarneck guy, maybe we'll find out his name.
Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.
Oh bugger... My theory: The stars above Faye's head are lighting up the whole area.

See pendrake's excellent post, especially the last paragraph, concerning the ongoing fight-gag between Faye and Padma.

Faye took a high-velocity fist to the nose. Said nose will at least be bloodied by that impact, and most likely broken. That'll mean a trip to the emergency room, and Faye's in no condition to go by herself. So ends Marten's evening.

Wild Padma uses Mach Punch!! It's super effective!!
So... What type is Faye, then? She's certainly not Normal! :-P Let's see... Steel, Rock, Ice or Dark? I vote for Ice/Dark dual combo!

Also there´s Jephs comment on Padmas Weirding Way (in capitals?^^)
Whoever came up with the stupid sound-modules... well, that´s been discussed ad nauseam.
Hand-to-hand combat with knives and moving faster than the enemy can see woulda been more fun imho :/

What did I tell you about not giving up hope? What part of keeping the faith doest thou not getteth? xD
(And I know, I know its unlikely ... still ... I went iceskating with a couple of friends once. My then girlfriend fell and cracked her chin on the ice. We had to call an ambulance. The two of us drove to the hospital, she got stitches. We went back to our friends after that and still had a fun night drinking and cracking wise about it. :-D)
Oh bugger... My theory: The stars above Faye's head are lighting up the whole area.
The physical repercussions of those stars actually being just that just made me giggle. Imagine three tiny balls of giant mass floating next to Faye's head... gruesome, I know, but still fun to imagine.
3. Padma in panel #3 looks great art-wise. And Padma also looks good with her longer hair-down. Though I still favor the hair-up look.
Oooooh, a fellow ponytail enthusiast as well... come here you!

Slip ahead to Friday and Angus' return -
He's greeted at the station by Faye, looking even more like Velma with a new sweater and skirt to go with the glasses.
-
@Border Reiver - Jinkies!
I remembered the initial fight scene, but forgot only Angus was there, which explains why Marten was so shocked, he probably didn't know this was their thing. Also, anyone think that Faye perhaps still could have countered if she hadn't just promised to abstain from violence?
-
I hope Faye's glasses aren't broken!
Indeed. Marten no longer has health insurance to buy a new pair this time. :-(
-
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BLOCK IT!
That should be the mandatory replacement text when a spammer hits a post in this forum. :-D
-
I think Marten was surprised that a punch was thrown and it didn't land on him.
also...
I had this same experience in martial arts, I just made the assumption that a 350 pound man trying to do a jump kick would end with my sparring partner moving before I got there.... No such luck. Sadly the kick landed squarely on my 185 pound college roommate...
-
When my Uncle Ed was a kid, one of his buddies dared him to put hi finger on a rock and let him hit it with a hammer.
Ed put his finger on the rock, and his buddy hit it with a hammer.
The guy asked him why he didn't move it and Ed said "I didn't think you were really going to hit it! Why did you hit it!?!?"
His buddy said "I thought you were gonna move!!!!!"
Ed lived the rest of life with nine fingers and one stump.
-
Padma hit her so hard her shirt changed color.
...You know, I didn't even notice this until you mentioned it and I fired up WhatColor.
Sure enough, Faye's shirt in panels 1 & 2 = #445863; In panel 4 = #007272.
-

No, she's got to be Dark/Steel. Or maybe Dark/Fighting: either way, it would be awesome to see. :-D
Also, I'm definitely disappointed in the lack of Elliot today. There's still a chance he was close enough to hear the ruckus and investigate, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Oh well, hilarity did ensue, which is all I really expect at the end of the day. Tomorrow should be interesting: any chance Hannelore will call Padma a butt? :evil:
-

-
Okay. Attractive woman in a form-fitting red dress.
Good Morning! I'm awake now. :-)
-
Ouch! Poor Faye... And queue Marten feeling guilty that he told her she couldn't use any violence tonight.
Still, this gives them some time together while they wait at the hospital. Hopefully Marten will be able to get out of Faye why she was drinking (so early) in the first place.
I wonder if Padma will come along as well, because she feels/is guilty for hitting her...
As for the shirt-color and lighting change in the last panel, I say it's because Padma's sudden movement triggered a motion sensor, lighting up the whole corner. :-)
-
Now see, Padma, this is why sparring belongs in the guan, dojo, gym etc., not the street. And in a nice dress too? Girl, you should know better.
-
zomg CALLED IT. Sort of.
I'm looking forward to some Padma/Faye drunken boxing.
Only Faye was the drunken, Padma was the boxing.
good GRIEF can't Marten catch a break with a nice night dancing with a rather hot looking chick? Sheesh...
-
And in a nice dress too? Girl, you should know better.
It has been established that Padma suffers from incidences of heightened density. This has to be one of those where it just goes click:brain_offline.
I wonder why that is. She doesn't usually seem that socially awkward.

I'm sure he meant "Padma/drunken Faye boxing". :-D

Sure enough, Faye's shirt in panels 1 & 2 = #445863; In panel 4 = #007272.
Hmm. The change may be due to the fact they are now in a relatively well lit area in comparison to the street scene of the first panel.
The change in Faye's shirt color may be due to the fact that light is coming in from a different angle, when she is lying in the ground.
Some tl;dr; (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambertian_reflectance)
Edit: OTOH that would not explain the change in the color of the building walls from panel two to panel four. :psyduck:

Hmmm... If the's Dark, or even just part Dark, she'll be immune to Hannelore (who is clearly Psychic (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2036))... :-D
-
I'm surprised no one has mentioned another reason why Padma shouldn't be fighting in that dress: She might flash someone. In the third panel it almost looks like she lept in the air to deliver her punch, which could have given Marten a glimpse of her panties.
Interesting to see Padma's clothes have a theme. Her dress has a similar pattern to the one she was wearing when she first met Momo and invited Marten on the hike(starting at 2009), although in a different colour.
-
Hmmm... If the's Dark, or even just part Dark, she'll be immune to Hannelore (who is clearly Psychic (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2036))... :-D
Let's not forget her signature move, Future Sight (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1393). Also, even though I'm pretty sure that Hanners isn't part Fighting (I'm guessing Psychic/Ice myself), we do have evidence that suggests she knows at least one decent Fighting type move in order to trump Faye just in case she ever snaps and goes on a killing spree (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1604). :evil:
-
As for the shirt-color and lighting change in the last panel, I say it's because Padma's sudden movement triggered a motion sensor, lighting up the whole corner. :-)
Was my first guess... but there already seems to be one source of light with distribution similar to that of your average motion sensor triggered door light... even in the panels preceeding the last one.
And also Padma's punch would've had to have triggered an entire array of lights (in a very wide circle around the gang) to bring forth that amount of lucidity...
I'm surprised no one has mentioned another reason why Padma shouldn't be fighting in that dress: She might flash someone. In the third panel it almost looks like she lept in the air to deliver her punch, which could have given Marten a glimpse of her panties.
I doubt he would be looking that way in any efficient angle to see anything even remotely worth seeing ... at that exact right moment.
Reflex dictates us to look at things moving toward us, he'd more likely be watching Padma's fist.
Why is everyone so obsessed with the character's pants/panties lately? :-D
-
The more I see of Elliot, the more I like him. Incoming fictional character rush! What can I say? I like big, awkward dudes.
And in a nice dress too? Girl, you should know better.
It has been established that Padma suffers from incidences of heightened density. This has to be one of those where it just goes click:brain_offline.
I wonder why that is. She doesn't usually seem that socially awkward.
Really? She's seems to miss social cues quite often from what I've seen. At least where males are concerned.
-
Now that was a surprise that surprised me.
-
Christ, Faye, can't you stop being violent for like five seconds?!
:evil:
-
I'm surprised how many people are saying it seems out of Padma's character. I mean, we don't really know much about her character yet.
-
I'm guessing you don't find Tai as adorable as I do, then?
Probably not. Haha.
Also, anyone think that Faye perhaps still could have countered if she hadn't just promised to abstain from violence?
That was my first thought, too. Even drunk, I would have figured Faye to be one to at least block. Or attempt to, at any rate.
-
When I practiced kung fu back in the long, long-ago I was on the receiving end of one of these. Sparring and my partner punched towards my face. I thought he was feinting to get me to raise my hands so he could kick me in the gut so I didn't fall for it. No sir. Unfortunately he wasn't feinting and I had a nice big red welt on my forehead for about a week. On the plus side I learned that I can take a punch to the face and not even wobble. Hooray for Irish heritage!
Seriously though given the coffee-shop-fu match where these two first met each other I don't think Padma's "greeting" was super out of line and if Faye had been sober I don't think it would have been a thing.
-
Oops I just realized I forgot to post the results of the first two polls. Sorry, I'm new at this! :oops:
-
I have this weird feeling that when Angus returns he will either face a very angry Faye or a Faye in much need of cuddling.
-
I would have voted "Padma makes it up to Faye by paying for her new glasses." We've established her prescription is freakin' expensive!
-
Added!

I have a feeling she'll be in both states of mind simultaneously. Hopefully cuddling will win out over fighting.

Seeing that Faye is now confused and splayed on the floor, i'd say that she is either Normal, Rock, Steel, Ice, or Dark (2x damage if a fighting move hits them).
-
Okay. Attractive woman in a form-fitting red dress.
Good Morning! I'm awake now. :-)
Did you mean "I'm up now"?
:angel:
-
And now Faye will have to thufir through the indignity of a broken nose. *Whistles innocently*
-
This definitely proves Faye's style isn't drunken kung fu.

If I'm not mistaken, most college campus jobs offer benefits, don't they? I know the one I applied for at my school does. (they filled it before I even put in my application, primarily because of the benefits offered.) /sadface

In stores just in time for Christmas, it's the Battle Hanners (TM) action figure ... With Mace and headband. And for ages 5-8, Rock'em Sock'em Baristas.

Red-dress Padma, neat.
Battle-ready Hanners looks awesome,
and Faye, well, damn.
Hope this doesn't like, destroy a relationship or a dozen. Nah. Gonna be shenanigans all the way down.

Comic's up!
Geez, Marten. Way to be supportive (even though I'd probably do the exact same thing).
I also spy with my little eye a Tai. Looks like she's hard at work laying some sikk beatz
-
Ah yes, a comic.
1. Of course Hanners is the one who fixes her glasses.
2. Ya think that guy in the background might be central to the plot in the near future?
3. Can't quite tell if that's cross-neck guy bugging the DJ in the background of Panel 2.
4. "I do lag a cerdain grabitas ad the mobent." = WIN. Especially considering our Pugnacious Peach's past...
5. No, I don't think that's Tai in the background. Would be interesting, but I don't think it's her.
-
5. No, I don't think that's Tai in the background. Would be interesting, but I don't think it's her.

I'm thinking that's her. Also, Old Mate at the bar passed out amazingly quick.

I'm pretty sure its Tai.
-
Okay, okay, it's probably Tai. Heh, wouldn't it be funny if she knows Padma.
-
For some reason I just kind of assumed that Tai and Padma knew eachother all along.
-
1. Of course Hanners is the one who fixes her glasses.
Well, duh! Pepper-spray (assuming it wasn't something sinister cooked up in one of her Mum's corporate labs), sticky-tape, disinfectant-wipes... Hanners likes to be prepared.
-
The DJ looks like Tai to me; anybody catch that part of the stream?
I hope Faye's glasses aren't broken!
Indeed. Marten no longer has health insurance to buy a new pair this time. :-(
Everyone in the comic should have health insurance. Faye works for a business with less than 50 employees, so she can get subsidized insurance if CoD doesn't offer anything. Whether optical care is covered under her plan has yet to be determined.
That is unless the MA healthcare reform didn't happen in the comic universe. If that's the case, Faye's stuck buying another pair of frames out of pocket or taking Padma to small claims and getting her to pay for them.
-
That was...unexpected.
No, unexpected would be seeing yelling bird trying to hump Padma.
Actually, all this doesn't seem the least surprising to me.
Me, I would've been most surprised if the evening just went along fine... happy dancing, no awkwardness, talks, booze, maybe even Marten loosing up a bit ... perfect night so to say... THAT would've surprised me.
Also... when has Angus lubed her? And why would she tell Marten that? :-D

Usually Faye would punch Marten after a remark like that, but she's promised not to use violence anymore tonight.... Then again, with a remark like that he'd be asking for it. :-)
Anyway, glad to see that the incident didn't throw off their plans for dancing. And props to Faye to come forward about the stuff at the train station. All Marten has to do now is try to keep a straight face ('grabitas' indeed) and try to get her to relativate the whole thing. (With Padma coming back with the drinks in the last panel for the punchline of her misunderstanding some remark.)
-
Ah, now it makes sense why that was confusing. That word is not in my vocabulary!
Today I learned.

The guy in the background of panels 1&5 obviously looked at the poster one time too often.
For some reason I just kind of assumed that Tai and Padma knew eachother all along.

Why did the bar behind Faye and Marten spontaneously change into a DJ setup table in panel 2? °-o
(and no, I don't care about the obvious explanations... the change of viewing angle between panels 1 and 2 is not great enough to provide insight into an entirely different area.)
There is dimensional mischief going on here and I won't stand for it! *grumble, cross arms*

For comic #2044...
1. Aw, I hope this does not spoil any friendship between Faye & Padma. I think the two have a pretty good dynamic going, not just for fighting ability.
2. It does indeed look like DJ Tai Fighter in the background of panel #2. And probably will be worth a few strips along this story-arc if it is.
3. Hurrah for Hannelore patchworking Faye's glasses, but as most have correctly expected, our Southern Punching Belle will need a replacement pair. As I said earlier, I think this would be a good oppurtunity for Jeph to experiment with a change to Faye's look (assuming he has not planned all this in order to). I could see Faye with round or oval glasses, though I imagine her square glasses are simply easier to draw.
4. Guy in the background of panel #4 definitely has made some mistakes. The kind of mistakes I am certain Jeph and many others like us never hope to make again :-( .
5. And just for completeness... (stuffy-sounding) "grabitas" likely means "gravitas", which defines as: "Dignity, seriousness, or solemnity of manner." Or in Faye's case, lack of it at the moment.
6. @jwhouk... /gasp. How dare you mimic my ease-of-quote posting style! Have at you, sir! /whitegloveslap [just kidding, of course. works well for these kind of threads, oui? :-D ]

I have my doubts on it being Tai. I admit it does look an awful lot like her, but I would like to think she would've noticed Faye walking in with a bloody nose and Marten and Hanners in tow. It's possible though, as she could be distracted. I suppose we'll find out for sure tomorrow.
-
The only time we saw Tai DJing, she didn't notice right away it was Dora (Dora!) standing next to her, saying Hi. She's focused.

Actually the change in viewing angle is enough. All you have to assume is that Marten moved a bit backward, which is a very reasonable assumption, as he likes Padma and thus tends to follow her movements as long as he is focussed on her.
And if he would NOT have moved, Hanners would have to sit in the foreground.
Dont ask me to explain what happends in the background of the third and fourth picture, though. Only explanation I could offer for that is that the round table they are using is actually rotating, as is the ground their chairs is resting on ...
-
Hopefully for Padma's sake there are no plans to use this to introduce Shame Orb to the main QC universe. She'd likely be the perfect target right now.
-
Sheesh, nitpickers.
The bar is on the north end of the room, with the door in the corner. In the northwest, there is a dart board and blackboard. West side of the room is the DJ setup (Saturday, Lady Gaga making an appearance? Friday, Deathmole?).
Panel 1: camera is at pointed NNW
Panel 2: camera is in Hanners' lap, pointed W. Padma heading to bar.
Panel 3 and 4: camera over Hanners' shoulder, pointed NW. Hanners is simply out-of-shot in 4.
Panel 5: camera pointing NW.

Especially when that "city" is under 30,000 people. It would be very coincidental.
-

I ported the BCPL compiler to my Varian system because I was fed up with writing everything in assembly code and the incomplete Fortran compiler we had was utterly pathetic. I also extended my version of BCPL with some Algol-68-like syntax (but not semantics). Later I ported my extended BCPL to Norsk Data computers, where I used it to write routines for imaging floppies, and one for repairing damaged floppy directories.
I believe I've mentioned before that I wrote one commercial program directly in hex - i.e. I had to assemble it by hand. I might not have mentioned that I had to use B-G instead of A-F, because the hardware loader that read hex from the Teletype was severely limited! - I still have to think carefully when using hex to this day.

BTW Carl-E, your previous face-palm post is solid gold. I got a bigger laugh out of that than the comic, and the comic gave me a good laugh.

For some reason I just kind of assumed that Tai and Padma knew eachother all along.
Oh you little rascal...
How does that make me a rascal? it seemed perfectly logical to me, Tai leads a very different life than the rest of the gang. And she only started going to CoD when she met Marten, she has to get coffee elsewhere did she not? I would just assume that it was The Secret Bakery, both those places seem to be the most popular places to go in their city.
But then again I could be just being ridiculous, that is entirely possibly. I tend to do that.

No, it's a "running gag" here on the boards that we treat any sort of "pairings" with kid gloves, lest we anger the gods themselves. So tread lightly.
-
He just suggested they might know each other, not that they were, um, yeah...
-
Actually, I can't help but notice that the "running gag" around here seems to be to skirt being moderated for posts about "shipping" or "crack pairings" or whatever by making a post about how other people are doing it (when they weren't), or are surely about to do it; instead of making the observation directly.
For example, the "you little rascal" post quoted above, or delighted exclamations of "let the ships sail", or similar.
It's completely transparent, in case you're wondering. And it's getting a little old.
And the less said about some of the posts on the filler comic earlier this week, the better. They made me start to wonder what I was doing around here.

I love the backgorund action in today comic.
Hanners said something that shocked Tai, and it looks like Padma just found the body!
-
- Its definitely Tai
- Tai: "You want me to play WHAAAAT?!"
- Gotta love the little details in this one: Hanners has LEGWARMERS! This is too much!
- Padma! Don't you go poking dead things. Who knows where he's been?
Anyone else recall self-directed sarcasm being another of Faye's coping mechanism? Can't find the comic about it but she said something about humor helping her with her insecurities. My guess is, this thing is far from over even after Marten reassuring her.
-
My guess is Hanners is telling Tai why Faye was all bloody and such.

No one would be over something like that after just the reassurance of a friend. Faye is in a vulnerable place right now.... Hanging out with her friends, dancing, etc, should be able to take her mind off it for tonight. After a good night sleep things in her head should have settled down some more so she can think it over without panicking.
At least, that's what I hope for her sake.
Also, love the legwarmers on Hanners. :-)
-
Faye's comments reminded me of the comic where Marten ironically said that a person would have to be crazy to get involved with a roomate (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1637). Same kind of self-referential humor.
Which only shows how well they go together. Or perhaps how much of Jeph's sense of humor bleeds out through his primary characters...
And yes, I thought Tai was goggling about a request of Hanner's.

You're doing fine. Most of human life involves people being friends and knowing each other, so of course these are not anything to be avoided or skirted round.
Shipping is a clearly distinct matter, described elsewhere, and only those who are so in thrall to their hormones that they get worked up seeing a knife and fork together in a table-setting might get confused.
Abandon shipping!

For comic #2045...
1. Nice legwarmers. Nice legwarmers, indeed :-) .
2. Guess that is indeed Tai. Unless Hanners just said, "You know, I have a friend who looks just like you and is also a Disc Jockey...." Perhaps we will see a comic with Tai & Hannelore come next week to lighten the gravitas of Faye's coping.
3. Is it me, or is Faye's response in panel #2 smaller to indicate a small voice? "I said I loved him too." Or perhaps it is just text crowding the speech-bubble?
4. Having random people (even hot women) poke, molest, steal from, or draw on you while passed out drunk is one of the major reasons I do not miss drinking. At all.
5. @Carl-E... I thought the same thing with background panel #1 as well
6. Pff, who cares about the knife & fork. Now the dish & spoon, I think they got something going on there. But the rest of the tableware families would never approve of a union between the two... :roll:

Pretty sure it isn't
himElliot. In #2044 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2044) we can see that he doesn't look like Elliot. Also, I think Padma would be freaking out a lot more if she saw him lying down like that.
-
Even if Faye does react in the way she seems afraid of, it is not the end of the world... right? Not every relationship needs to (or can) last forever. She's come a long way with Angus, that progress is something to be happy about even if it does end. Maybe with the right person she wouldn't feel so afraid of commitment, and the fact that she does right now could be a sign that Angus is not the one.

Pink legwarmers, no less. And Tai is looking shocked because Hanners just told her that Combichrist is her favourite band, and requested a bunch of Aggrotech tracks. What? I can come up with stupid pairings too you know.

I would just assume that it was The Secret Bakery, both those places seem to be the most popular places to go in their city.
But then again I could be just being ridiculous, that is entirely possibly. I tend to do that.
I thought the Secret Bakery was close to Smif.
-
I certainly dont - I dont drink alcohol. :D
Oh man you're missng out I'm telling you.

Yes, I feel like that might be true. But really I just feel like I'm over analysing it now. Tai is a dj, people need djs and thats all I'm chalking it up to haha.
-

You're right, intravenous is teh nu sh't.
-
Would Tai have already known about the gang going to the party? I'm assuming that the invitation was made during the week on one of Marten's lunchhours, would he have not brought it up with her?
Have Tai and Padma met yet (in a strip)? I can't think of any strip featuring both of them, so was Tai just calling her "a hot-ass lady" based on third-person opinions?
-

Well, it's entirely plausible that Tai knows about her (as the hot Indian barista over at tSB), or that she based her assessment on whatever Marten has told her. Then again, I would surprised if Tai hasn't visited tSB on a couple of occasions.
-
I found the background to todays panels as interesting as the discourse in the foreground.
Tai's reaction to Hanners was "interesting" still not sure what's going on, but hell this is the internet, we can speculate.
And Padma, don't poke the sleeping bear! Gods above, does no one exercise the least amount of restraint?
-
No, restraint is certainly not one of Padma's strong suits.
-
DJ Tai Fighter was just challenged by DJ OCDelightful to a BATTLE OF THE DJs. DJ Tai Fighter was not expecting this.
-
*snicker*
Terribly sorry, but we're all out of those. Would you settle for a Payday bar instead?
My payday bar is next door. And today is payday! :-D
Panel 1: camera is at pointed NNW
Panel 2: camera is in Hanners' lap, pointed W. Padma heading to bar.
Panel 3 and 4: camera over Hanners' shoulder, pointed NW. Hanners is simply out-of-shot in 4.
Panel 5: camera pointing NW.
...what am I DOING.
You work in film, don't you? :wink:
There is a small tunnel leading off to the southwest.
It is dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
I love the backgorund action in today comic.
Hanners said something that shocked Tai, and it looks like Padma just found the body!
Background Tai so needs to be next week's caption contest.
-
My guess is that Tai's expression is a combination of "OMG is she okay?" and "WTF how did I not notice her walk in here with a bloody nose?"
-
Anyone else recall self-directed sarcasm being another of Faye's coping mechanism? Can't find the comic about it but she said something about humor helping her with her insecurities. My guess is, this thing is far from over even after Marten reassuring her.
Your memory is correct (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=535)
-
Tai is reacting to Hanners' news that Beatrice owns Lady Gaga (who was grown in one of Dr. John's cloning tanks; the divorce proceedings got ugly over that) and Gaga is, in fact, available Saturday night.
-
Don't feel bad, Faye, I've done it.
A few times.
Okay, pretty much every time.
Damn emotional intimacy issues.
-
Maybe Padma was just concerned with the welfare of passed-out dude?
Or maybe she's so clueless she doesn't know why someone would be unconscious at a bar.
-
"Is he dead?"
"Poke him with a stick"
"No way, you do it."
-
...Lady Gaga (who was grown in one of Dr. John's cloning tanks...
The Dr. John (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._John) of my first reaction was not the Dr. John you meant...
-
The DJ looks a little shocked. Wonder what Hanners requested...
-
Three Hundred Pounds of Heavenly Joy
-
The DJ looks a little shocked. Wonder what Hanners requested...
Maybe she got teased about her attire, and her comeback was kinda scary (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1753)?
And Tai is looking shocked because Hanners just told her that Combichrist is her favourite band, and requested a bunch of Aggrotech tracks.
Bwahahaha! Thank you milady, for the most ludicrously funny (but quite improbable) idea. I'm giggling to the mental image of our lil' ocd-flashdance princess in rivethead gear. :-D :-D
*kneels and bows deeply*
-
I personally would like to see Jeph do a halloween strip Monday.
Hanners is already in costume...
-
Hanners: "Do you have any Death Metal on your Hard-drive?" :-D
So, come Monday either Faye is going to be waiting to throw herself into Angus' arms (cue swelling Violins)
Or
She will have him jumped by six Shoulin Monks and beaten to a pulp while she watches through Binoculars from half a mile away - Hey, she's gotta have an alibi!!
-
Monday strip time or Monday our time?
-
I'm thinking of when he gets back - so Monday strip time
Which should be Monday two weeks from now.
-
I'm confused about real time vs QC time. It's been winter twice in the strip if I recall correctly... so could it be October again? Ugh, atleast the QC timeline is easier to follow than the Zelda timeline lol
-
There have been some dedicated attempts to pin down the QC timeline by people even nerdier than me. People have gone so far as to track hair growth. There are references in the wiki.
These attempts run into the problem that Jeph is not working to a specific calendar in the QC world and apparently doesn't want to.
-
it's understandable though when somebody feel so passionately about a character that we try to figure such things out. I'm sure most of the people on this forum feel some sort of personal connection with the characters. Or maybe my life is just that empty LOL
-
Eventually, we will find out that QC is The Matrix
Or a Holoprogram on the Holodeck of the Enterprise F that, like the Sandrine and Fair Haven programs, is left running.
-
Eventually, we will find out that QC is The Matrix
So, when do we see the room full of dancers in a club in fetish and goth gear?
-
Nah, I think we'll find out that we are the Matrix, and QCverse is real
-
One of the arguments that QC isn't real is that unlikely things happen in the name of humor. That could also be used as an argument that our world isn't real.
-
There's the theory that if the forum ever figures out wat's going to happen in QC, the QCverse will be repaced by something even more beyond the forum's ability to predict. Then there's the theory that Jeph does that about once a week.
Don't panic.
PS: Monday (our time) would be a great time for the guy at the bar to pop up and yell BOO!
-
Nah, I think we'll find out that we are the Matrix, and QCverse is real
Then there is a definite flaw in this Matrix, as the QCverse is way more appealing than "RL".
Also, is it sadistic if I expect Padma to have a black eye on Monday, because the drunk guy got startled and lashed out?
-
Nah, I'm anticipating a drunken brawl starting between Faye and Padma that gets misinterpreted as some sort of dance routine and sets the whole club on a drunken brawling dance.
-
Don't panic.
as long as we're paraphrasing Douglas Adams
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says Jeph, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Marten, "The recurring background presence of Sweet Tits is a dead giveaway, isn't it? She cannot be there by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Shitcock." says Jeph, "Just for that, you'll have no long-term happiness in this comic" and Padma promptly vanishes in a puff of Photoshop keymappings.
ok, so that sounded better in my head
-
Thanks, jwhouk!
Next time I promise to wait until its like 10 here before I take it upon myself to do the WCDT :-)
-

Or as the Villa two towns over calls it, "Saturday".
-
I'm secretly wondering if the guy in the back is Angus.
-
It's not a secret if you tell us...
Also, Angus is known to be Far Away right now and also to look significantly different.
Could be Angus' brother though, I guess? Is he a local boy or what?
-
Could be Sweettits's brother.
-
I'm secretly wondering if the guy in the back is Angus.
Can't be he is in NYC, also look at his face in the first panel of #2044
-
Could be Sweettits's brother.
Could be Sweet Tits in drag.
-
Slow night...
-
I know, right.
I make a comment about Sweet Tits in drag and nothin', not even a "YAY SWEET_TITS!!1!!"
Is this thing even on?
-
Seems to be on. Though given the snowstorm, perhaps that was not certain...
Hopefully you are all ok. It is a bit strange that Eastern US gets first snow before we do.
-
Millions of us in the Northeast are without power, including me! (I'm typing this courtesy of the power/wi-fi of my friendly neighborhood Starbucks).
-
We got four inches of slush. Friends up the mountain got more like a foot, but it's half gone already.
Remember, THIS WAS A TEST. IF THIS HAD BEEN AN ACTUAL SNOWSTORM, YOU'D BE WITHOUT POWER, FOOD OR TRANSPOTATION FOR A WEEK! THIS WAS ONLY A TEST!
Why yes, I did grow up in Buffalo, and survived the blizzard of '77 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blizzard_of_1977)...
-
From the stories I've heard, I'm glad I wasn't alive yet.
-
So, the Canucks shouldn't be pointing and laughing?
I'm still looking at my lawn, and getting ready to send the kids out for tric or treatin'.
-
Well to be fair, it was a really exceptional event - in one place in Connecticut 27 inches fell, when the leaves were still on the trees, compared with a previous recorded maximum in October of 1/2 inch! The Connecticut power company has more lines down at once than it has ever had before.
-
Only the third time since it was built (just before the civil war) that Central Park in NYC has had snow in October.
It is indeed a unique event.
-

I've been without power since Saturday, and at this point, a week seems just as likely as not >_>
