Only thing I don't like about Tapatalk is the inability to see or vote on polls.

Still pissed Doctor Who and Monty Python never got proper respect in the Olympic Opening. All we got was a brief TARDIS F/X and Basil Fawlty. THATS IT!!

I might need to add an event: "Mountain Lion Installation (without a net)"So the player who doesn't get mauled wins the gold metal?
...should they really be having this conversation in front of the interns?Am I to presume this means Faye made another smashed banana smoothie for Emily? While tape gagged?

I dunno, did Emily hear enough of the conversation to possibly ruin it for Tai?
Don't believe her Marten
Her REAL backup plan is to get Tai drunk and set her up with Hannelore.

I dunno about Emily being the one to let the news slip. Claire might also be a good contender, I think.Claire is too traumatized by watching Emily eat her banana not-so-smoothie to have picked it up.
So....
A gagged, curvaceous woman smashing bananas with a hammer.
Rule 34 comes to mind, but I'm not even gonna look.
Padma had "tact issues", but Emily comes across as being out in Luna Lovegood territory.
It's fun. I like it.
Hannelore in the 10 kilogram clean-and-disinfect? What is she cleaning 10 kilograms of?
Anthologizing? Always euphemisms!
@Soulsynger, I can barely see it against the background. Then again, I don't use the default theme so I guess that's my fault.Sorry about the inconvenience. The voices are making me...

[ ... ]Wouldn't that be "Dora's over-roasted coffee" by now? They do have a trade-deal after all. °O
I'm guessing that Emily is a frequent customer at The Secret Bakery. Jim's over-roasted coffee could well bring obliviousness along with the caffeine rush.
I agree that the main concern that Tai should have isn't that Marten talked with Dora, but that he lied to her about it.
It's worth noting that Marten hadn't finished speaking. Emily cut him off with her ohyesyoudid. For all we know, he could have been about to say "Uh, no... not really, just idle chat, you know".
Only to break up when Dora starts obsessing about them only being together because Marten spilled the beans, maybe.
This illustrates my main problem with Tai; she calls Marten a terrible friend despite her trying to hook up with his ex. I don't know of anyone who would be as casual as Marten about all of this so soon after a breakup. It moves him from being easy going into an apathetic pushover.
Well, same sex marriages/relationships should have the right to be as miserable as the rest of us.Aaaaaand life continues being stranger than fiction.

@HiFranc:
I could actually see myself mediating in a situation like that. Condolence/help to one and not the other just seems mean to me from a friendship perspective. °O
"All very well," I said, "but what happens when there is industrial action?"

"It can be awkdward", said Bernard. "The Secretary of our Union was on the Council of Civil Service Unions which planned the last bout of disruption - and at the same, as Number Three at Swansea, his duty was to make contingency plans for frustrating the disruption."
[...]
To me the Number Three man at Swansea sounded like a model of intitutionalised schizophrenia.
I was a bit unsure of Emily because I was afraid she was going to be too much like Padma, but she's really growing on me. XD
Emily is about to hit some kind of obliviousness singularity. I´m sure of it.Pbbt. If he had actually tried to sabotage Tai's plans, this might come close. Honestly, if Tai has two brain cells to rub together, she would go out of her way to be nicer to Marten. Crapping on him isn't going to endear her to Dora, see also: sticking him in the middle of this.
Way to backstab your boss.
Though how many of us, when put one the spot, has the luxury of having the time to come up with a response that could possibly -not- make it awkward, or seem like a betrayal? So Marten's not supposed to talk to Dora at all now?
And besides, the conversation had with Dora wasn't directly about Tai, but more about Dora's feeling about the situation with her, and what she was going to do about it. There was no badmouthing of Tai, and as such I fail to see how Marten's lie (which, since it didn't entail any kind of bashing or negativity being covered up, I would consider to be in the category of a 'white lie'), miniscule as it is, shouldn't elicit that drastic of a response - she should at least find out the degree of said 'lie' before declaring Marten a terrible person, and perhaps worse, friend.
Doesn't Tai have a key to the library either? Did she maybe lose her key privileges after the library party?
That's because Emily is genuinely in the wrong. There was no need for her to say that. Especially the "About Ms. Hubbert" bit. But apparently being cute and ditzy lets you get away with that kind of shit.
(don't worry, Emily-knights, I'm not hating on her, just stating a fact)
Well, the girl IS Sino-Australian. Give her some credit. :angel: :-DAre you sure you're not mistaking her for someone else? :-) OK, I know; we all look alike... :evil:
Apparently if you don't see comics through the prism of pure hatred of a QC character, you're knighting now.
Do we need a separate hating forum to give people an outlet? :wink:
Can any of you honestly say you would not be upset if you were in Tai's position?
Guys, guys, guys, we're missing something important here. Tai gets to ride a shelving cart to [presumably] her office? Pushed by her "not-really-a-qualified-employee, but not-really-an-intern-either" friend? That's awesome!

Depends on the cart. Some are good, some topple if you overload them.
EDIT: Yeagghh! The warning that someone has posted before you is now PINK!
Oh, come on - Claire's had 2 major rants; Gabby's main lines so far are "I like books", and blaming her hairstyle on the humidity. We've basically had "Overintense Intern", "Slightly Insane Intern" and "OtherHumidity Intern".
Great, now I'm overanalyzing.
The Great Idiom Wars.I can fit a 30-metaphor magazine in my fully idiomatic weapon!
I would say overloading is a bad idea no matter what.I'm sure the trolley is up to carrying Tai. Books are heavy, and she is small. My copy of The Water Margin (admittedly all the Four Great Classic Novels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Great_Classical_Novels) are notorious doorstoppers (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Doorstopper)) weighs over a kilo. Perching on top like that would be a bit dicey though.

Reading the past few comics, I'm thinking Clinton has a sister.Oh no, I also thought that at first but that would be far too obvious.
Redheaded girl is Clinton (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2068)'s sister; calling it now. Compare chin, facial shape, eye color and hair color.
LOTS of people called it, actually... When he first started sketching her a lot, Jeph had to clarify that she wasn't just Rule63!Clinton on his Tumblr, so sister was the next guess.Yeah, I was surprised today that Jeph went ahead and connected them. But it works.
I think there are probably more fans that talked themselves back out of it because it seemed too obvious than there are fans who just never guessed. ;)
But if you have sex with somebody LESS crazy than you, then THEY'RE not following the advice! :psyduck:
I know Hanners is pretty tall... But I do wonder how tall Clinton is since the difference seems very noticeable. Maybe around 5'5''-5'7''?
(I still think it has to do with some tweets Jeph made just before the new chars were introduced, relating to a certain... transition)
Dear gods this is some tiny font. You shouldn't actually scroll-zoom on it, you'll only realize it won't work well. You now feel dumber for reading this.That's why I just hit quote in order to read it. Strange, I still feel dumb.
Note, I'm not saying this as a moderator, and this is not policy, but I find the trend of using increasingly small font as an aside to be really annoying. Like I said, I'm not saying this in official capacity, and it's not against the rules...I just don't like it. I'm only bringing it up now because attention is being called to it, it's nothing personal, Toe.

Anyone wanna bet the reason why Claire wanted to avoid CoD was because she saw Hannelore working there?
I google imaged her...am I missing something? I like her hair. At worst, it's unremarkable, which makes people complaining about it all the more confusing.
I just googled it and feel dumber for having read an article about it.
So Tai is going to press Dora for an answer.
Isn't Dora going to feel cornered? She wants to be the one in control of whatever situation she's in.
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the Tai Fighter.
This is QC; the course of (true/imagined/whatever) love never runs smoothly.
I think that no matter how Tai gets on with Dora, Marten could find himself in hot water...In Marten's defence, it was Emily who initiated today's ordeal. Tai should at least alleviate some of Dora's wrath if she mentions this...
As far as I understand it chronologically from Dora's perspective, Dora and Marten chat about Tai, he leaves with the interns, and a short (hur hur) while later Tai turns up and whatever is gonna happen on Monday happens.
So, I'm gonna suggest Dora may assume Marten blabbed his face off. We know he didn't really do that but we're not Dora. Hasn't she gone a bit nuts at Marten for less?
I'm kind of hoping that there might be more small steps forward for Dora within the incoming storm of drama. Perhaps the new boundaries of the Marten-Dora relationship will allow Marten to actually help Dora with these issues, you know?
Wishful thinking, huh..?
I'm surprised the idiom poll didn't include "don't look a gift lion in the mouth."I'm surprised it didn't include "no poo-poo on the pee-pee". :psyduck:
Never have sex with anyone crazier than you.That btw means nobody could ever have sex with anyone, unless there would be two people who are exactly as crazy as the other one.
He pretty much caved and gave her the answer she wanted, but she wasn't paying attention.
I can't imagine that putting Dora on the spot will do Tai any favours. Regardless of how she responds.
This is not a smart move for Tai. Confronting Dora about a possible romantic situation in public at her business? Also in perspective, for Tai this is a longstanding issue that needs to be resolved. For Dora, it's a new and intriguing relationship possibility. Tai should be romancing Dora, not demanding answers.[/b][/color]
Also, was a reason for Clinton's robotic hand ever given? I didn't see anything in the Wiki, and for some reason I have a sense that he just got it because he's a robot geek. I know he said he doesn't use a cover because it looks cooler this way, but I can't find if he had an injury, illness, or birth defect for the reason of his getting one in the first place.
Tai should be romancing Dora, not demanding answers.

This is some truth man. Dora is a classy dame; she needs a little candlelight, a little music, a little chateau brion, and maybe a little sauvignon too. She's a fine lady who needs a little class and a lot of luurve.
Can Tai do that? Can she woo? I, for one, remain to be convinced.
Also Tai is currently unsure of what she wants relationship-wise (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1595), other than Dora. (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1596)
I'm almost reading that last line as a, "Well, I'm not going to be able to stop her, so might as well wish her luck" kind of statement. Not completely passive, but more along that famous quote that ends with "lie back and enjoy it".
Do we even know how seriously into girls Dora is? She's never actually been with a girl, has she? (Only thing I can think of on that question is Sven saying that all the guys she'd been with before Marten had treated her like shit - no mention of ever having been with a girl, IIRC.) A lot of 'bi' girls like the looks of girls and flirt with them, but can never quite make the leap into a serious relationship. Much like Tai's kinda-but-not-quite-really-poly status. Could be one of the many things feeding into Dora's hesitation, anyway.

I see the look and attitude as bemused more than anything, with maybe a twinge of "I wonder what it would be like to be that decisive." Her reaction is pretty much the exact opposite of what he would do, and he's amused but confounded by it.

She fapped to Veronica Vance's porn pics back in the day. Which got her into girls apparently. (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1047)

As far as I can tell, the Friday comments are still in the normal Friday position anyway.
Doesn't matter to me, I was going to vote for something in the cliffhanger anyway. :P
Re: Dora's interest in girls, and aside from the Veronica Vance thing, I have a feeling that it would be very unusual for a lady who wasn't into other ladies to do this (narm narm narm narm) (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2063), and certainly not this (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1249). Veronica Vance may have started it, so to speak, but that's definitely not all there is to it.
Jeph said once that Dora's expressed interest in Faye was genuine and that if Faye had been interested they would have wound up together (if memory serves: this was quite a while ago).This (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1592) comes to mind. Immediately...
So no one is allowed to have a definite sexual orientation until they've actually done the physical act? Does that go for straight virgins? Using that logic, Marigold hasn't proved she's truly attracted to men yet (though she sorta came close kinda).

I am so bored of Tai right now. Let's see what Wil and Penelope are up to.

What is it you guys don't like about Tai? I've always thought she adds alot of color to the cast.
Hopefully, not this scenario. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1275)Time for me to schedule an archive binge. I totally don't remember that at all.
Still. Until she she gets naked with another gal, I won't believe she's seriously considered booty calls with girls. Especially having never done it before.

(And I don't doubt she has "gotten naked with another gal" at least once.)

Yes, please do share the pharmacological love; remember, this is the same society that still asks shit like "when did you decide to be gay?" with sincerity.
