I'm going for Faye and Angus covered in weed, but knowing exactly how it happened.
(She could never be the killer, it'd be far too messy)
I voted for Emily not remembering (and better yet, freaking out over) her hair.
After all, it's the source of her superpowers...
Faye looks surprisingly alert for someone needing support in the search for primo makeout real estate last night (QC time)...

Are you a wizard? :psyduck:
Hung-over, short-haired Emily looks older. Even with that rabbit-ears cowlick.
One might say, drawn.
Emily's pose in the first panel is Nyamo's (Kurosawa-sensei's) from p324 of the omnibus edition of the manga (the last page of volume 2 of the four-volume version, I think), when she has a hangover after drinking all the sake to prevent Yukari from getting drunk. You see it roughly at 2:15 in this clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY8L_apFieE) (referenced earlier), but the manga (http://www.anymanga.com/azumanga-daioh/002/008/024/) is the true source. The comic title is Japanese for I have a headache or hangover ("my head hurts").
CALLED IT!
Alcohol + Scissors == bad times.
Yep, I called it on Emily freaking out. Even if it was just for a few seconds.

Ever paly 8-ball?
What was even funnier was Chiyo and the girls getting lectured on the birds and the bees the night before from a drunken Nyamo and the looks on their faces after. Priceless. :-D
This is my relationship with booze in a nutshell.
OK, well in 8-ball any call of a ball-pocket combo must be heard by the opponent. Calls are optional except for the 8-ball. If a call is missed, it's a scratch.
...and I don't even know if you do calls in 9-ball.
Funnily enough my relationship with alcohol means no confusion or hangovers......just sleepless nights instead.When I imbibe to excess (for me), I always sleep exceedingly well.
"A Mimosa is a cocktail-like drink composed of one part champagne (or other sparkling wine) and one part thoroughly chilled citrus fruit juice, usually orange juice unless otherwise specified (e.g., "grapefruit [juice] mimosa"). It is traditionally served in a tall champagne flute with a morning brunch as hair of the dog or to guests at weddings."
I had never heard of a Mimosa, except in a botanical sense, but Wikipedia to the rescue! You have all donated, yes?
We're never going to get an explanation for the hockey mask are we?
Always a good way to start the day, with a nice bit of OJ - I can take or leave the wine part of the mimosa.
Even with that rabbit-ears cowlick.
Cranberry juice and vodka is a Cape Codder.I honestly didn't know that had a name, I've only heard it referred to as a "vodka cranberry", and maybe it's a New York/New Jersey thing, but it's pretty much the female equivalent of a Jack and Coke. In other words, a default mixed drink. (Not to say only males or females enjoy either, just what I've observed in my several years of imbibing)
Always thought you just called it a Cape Cod.
Mind I usually just call it a 'vodka and cranberry' when ordering it, so...yeah. I'm not good at drinks!
Guinan? >_>
KEFKA IS MY BITCH >:3:emotrex:
Depending on how completionist she's being, Marigold could bang out a FFVI speed run in that afternoon. It wouldn't be very fun though as you'd be missing people in the World of Ruin and tons of content but I'm guessing she's already put Kefka down a few times in the 90s.
FFVI is the only one I have played.
But, y'know, it's the best.
:P

Depends - Dora, Hanners, Gabby, Claire, Clinton and Cosette are unaccounted for.
Maybe it's just the angle, have to wait to see another image of them, but neither of Em's parents look Asian. Or should I say, Em doesn't look like either of them.You think so? I think Emily and her mother look very alike with the same basic face-shape. Both parents have what Jeph has obviously decided is his way of drawing "Asian" eyes, although they are slightly obscured by their spectacles. Dad's face is a bit long and narrow, but Jeph draws all guys like that.

It'd be kinda hard to explain the pictures of Emily on the wall, then.
Which brings me to why she was prepped and ready to murder someone: she was planning to murder the owners if they showed up early! :wink:
EVIL TWINIt took you eight years to type at the astounding rate of four words per minute? ::)

Emily is actually Hannelore. They were switched at birth (nevermind the totally different appearances and all of that), and thus the "Hanners kills everyone at the end of QC" predictions can still be fulfilled.

The real question is, how will she kill everyone?
Ohmigod he's the best villain ever.FFVI is the only one I have played.

Sure it is :laugh:
Seriously thought, I only began to play any game of the Final Fantasy series this summer. I've completed since the last months FFIII and FFX. Never played FFIV.
Did Kefka made an impression on you?
Emily's hatchet! (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2293)

Prediction: Hanners has everyone bound ready for extermination as they look on in horror. She raises the hatchet to take the first life but as it's in the air, Jeph runs a week long montage of how all of her friends changed her life so much and so positively. She realizes she can't kill them, releases the hatchet and it falls, blunt side first.
The punchline: the dull part of the falling hatchet hits Marten in the groin, he screams bloody murder
It'd still be a better ending than(click to show/hide)

I lost a whole day once - it was a new release!
...
"Once"?
"New release"??
I recall losing ludicrous amounts of time on Boulder Dash Construction Kit on the C64.
I'm not even going to start to describe the amount of time sunk into WoW ... (thankfully NOT in the background as I type - I stopped playing when Cata was released).
I'm glad I got bored about half way through Cataclysm, that game was a massive time sink.
(even though we don't know how she got there)

I'm convinced it's some sort of sentient zeppelin...I don't think Hannelore would really be comfortable with the idea of a hat.
I wonder if dad considers Emily too old to be grounded.I am more than a bit worried about the grounding thing. Or generally Emily getting into trouble.
Also ... Tai said all the beds were made. So where the hell *was* Hanners?
And is the stealthed sentient flyer out looking for her? It has to be used to this sort of thing by now ...
I lost a whole day once - it was a new release!
Hahahahaha I know memes in general aren't really a great thing here but I just gotta say that Emily's father reminds me a lot of High Expectations Asian Father on the last panel. That face.
I lost a whole day once - it was a new release!
I believe the longest I've spent with a game was when I played first the Lego Rock Band Endless Setlist, and then just for good measure played the Rock Band 2 ESL in the same weekend. And also, the same week, I managed to get the Beatles 24h achievement. (play all songs and get to the finish within 24h of starting a new gamesave). Wouldn't call any of that time lost though, it was a LOT of good music :)QuoteI lost a whole day once - it was a new release!
Once? New release? LOST?
Poor Marigold :-(
It's like saying:
"Yes, i'm her friend :-) "
"What? No, you are not "
That's gotta hurt...
What on earth is going on with Emily-Dad's eating utensils? It looks like he has his fork in his right hand (which I know is the normal thing in America), but then what is in his left? A knife, in a reversal of the normal "two-handed" Western eating technique? If so, he is holding it oddly. A spoon?May be?
Cutting as you go along is what you should do, but you are still expected to switch the fork to your right hand to eat each bite.

Wait, how did the rest of the gang not notice that Hanners wasn't with them as they left?Remember, Hanners came out of the sky; everybody assumed she was leaving the same way, I guess.
I don't know. I think at least Marten would make sure she was alright and had a ride before he left. Perhaps I'm looking too much into it.Wait, how did the rest of the gang not notice that Hanners wasn't with them as they left?Remember, Hanners came out of the sky; everybody assumed she was leaving the same way, I guess.
Cutting as you go along is what you should do, but you are still expected to switch the fork to your right hand to eat each bite.Ok. I didn't make observations as to how the Americans did that (and apparently my recollection was off), so your first sentence is an appreciated clarification. But that does sound like an inefficient way of going about it...

"I don't think I'll ever understand that girl."
"Well, she IS your daughter. Isn't that pretty normal?"
I imagine somebody found Hanners asleep and tried to wake her, but then this (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1872) happened again.Danggit. Post didnt take.
Also, for eating, I cut my meat as I go, but keep my knife in my left hand (no swapping). I live in the States. Is that weird/rude?
:psyduck:

In Germany usually when held in the left hand, the fork points downward. Held that way it is no problem to put (especially) meat in your mouth using your left hand. Even turning the fork up to hold it more like a shovel is considered "normal".

I also think Akima's name for the Inviso-Flyer should be canon, or at least adopted by the forum. On the second alternative, I so move.
Hanners has lost her tan.Maybe her tan turned green and entered Emmy's egg on her plate.
So what do you do about sporks? And why aren't thry called "foons"?

Pintsize's search for ALL the porn is like Hubble trying to see beyond the boundaries of the expanding universe. It just can't be done.Or trying to measure the length of the boundary of the Mandelbrot Set. Leaving aside the sheer quantity of porn, there is the philosophical issue of defining porn, and the subjectivity of the judgement. To a shoe-fetishist, a photo of a highly polished stiletto pump is porn.

We've had quite enough of cultures growing around here, thankyouverymuch!
I mean, look at yesterday's eggs...
Rubbing an egg against Hannelore to color it may not be the strangest thing Emily has ever done.
Hm... I was rummaging through the comic just now, stumbled upon this particular strip (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1518) and started wondering... anybody know if or when any o' that might be happening? oO
[ ... ]Whew... that's good to know. Because in Sowjet Russia, dinner dresses for YOU.
We dress for dinner in these here parts, friend.
If it hasn't been said already, Pintsize must never find out about Claire....
or Clinton delivering a metal punch heard 'round the world.

so I'm guessing no - but is anyone else more aware of comic time? Has it just been a few months, or over a year?Less than a year.
Pintsize was his only friend for two years?? That must have been one hell of a depression he was in after the whole Vicki episode.
Pintsize is like an onion!
Who is he, and what did he do with the real Pintsize?
I'm kind of sad that Pintsize seems to see his relationship with Marten as a "job". The way he casually used that word in his penultimate line really bugs me.
Might just be that I liked Pintsize where he was. Giving him hidden depths feels out of place.

Edit: My paranoia is telling me I'll somehow be warned about shipping. :roll: I hope it's clear that isn't even close to what I'm trying to do.
I could use a Pintsize right about now, minus the crazy cartoon antics. The Porn I'll keep.
Today's strip makes me realize how close to canon some of the guest strips are. particularly SMBC's.
I love that Pintsize is showing some depth, but he's still pretty cruddy at his job. He's supposed to be an ambassador to humankind, but he's not making AIs look very good.Wasn't the ambassador thing Momo's line?
Although now I'm having visions of an awkward human-AI companion "dating" period between Marten and Pintsize. It's complete with a montage of them having a milkshake out of the same glass, them spinning on a playground carousel, and goofy pictures in a photobooth. Cause that's how television informs me two people are dating....
I love that Pintsize is showing some depth, but he's still pretty cruddy at his job. He's supposed to be an ambassador to humankind, but he's not making AIs look very good.
Why is he expected to be an ambassador to humanity? As far as I see it, his job is simply to be a good friend to Marten.I suppose it could have just been Momo's interpretation of their job (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2284) rather than an official job description, but she sure made it sound important.

I see what you're thinking, but apply it out to some other examples and I'm sure you'll note the flaw a little bit.Actually, that's not what I was saying, so let me clarify: Momo and Pintsize have both called their role as companion AIs a "job" and implied that they have goals and responsibilities stemming from it. Momo even chose to describe her job as an ambassadorship (though as others have pointed out, it's murky as to whether that's an official duty of companion AIs or just her interpretation of it). Of course this is not related to the pressure forced on marginalized people; I am talking about an official and willingly-accepted job, not an imposed social role. If Momo was just being poetic about her role, and Pintsize doesn't actually have an official duty to be an ambassador, then fuck it, he can do what he wants.
Maurice is supposed to be an ambassador to white people, but he's not making black people look very good.

You're not alone. "Jeff Jacks" not "Geoff Jocks".Wait, why did you spell his first name wrong in two different ways? Now I'm confused. Are Jeph/Jeff/Geoff pronounced differently? :psyduck:
Are Jeph/Jeff/Geoff pronounced differently? [/quotes]
Nowhere I know!QuoteI pronounced like it was French,
The people I know in the UK with the name Jacques pronounce it like "Jakes", so I always have to correct myself when thinking of our Jeph.
I'd thought it was like Jacques Cousteau for years, too.Yeah, same, except with a non-silent s. And wait, J, why would the ph affect how the first part of the word is pronounced?
And here I always pronounced your name Who-k in my head. Damn French lessons.Yeah, I didn't realize it was J.W. Houk until I saw your Twitter, I too thought it was J. Whouk. (Although to be honest even when I knew it was Houk I still thought it rhymed with "spook".)
