Wait, sword fights in the stacks are unusual?
Or are you talking about actual steel blades and not whatever was to hand?
Epees and sabres. No masks, though.I reckon tinfoil and spoons counts as "whatever was to hand" personally…
Bloody fencers...
I hate the fact that Flattr button is too close to the QC forums link. I try to pinpoint to the QCF link, and that damn Flattr button pops up and completely obscures the QCF link. ARGH!!!
Nothing weird unfortunately, but I have just this week seen a photo of a sign allegedly placed in a library stating that various Lance Armstrong books were to be moved to the fiction section.Apparently Genuine. I'm in Canberra now, but that's Manly library alright.

Also, what's up with all the hate for puns, I liked Claire's joke ^^'No reaction. No groan. No return sally.
I feel incredibly stupid for not having "Using the stacks as a toilet" option. :psyduck:

I'll go out on a limb and say this relationship has no future. Though that's a matter of a pinion.
Marten gets well along with everyone, doesn't he?
I'll go out on a limb and say this relationship has no future. Though that's a matter of a pinion.That pun is flying on a wing and a prayer. Claire demonstrates that every girl likes to think she has a touch of Helen of Troy in her (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1732).

I can't think of a single exercise that will alter the shape of Marten's shoulders though. I suppose he could do some weirdly-specific exercises that would bulk up the muscles around them, but basically it's down to bone structure.

See, that's a great pun. I thought Claire's pun was great, too.
We'll see. It sort of depends on Martens reason for not replying - it might be an attempt at teasing or something.
If he had responded it only would have encouraged her.
And no comments about Claire's face/reaction in the third panel?
It's like I'm the only one even TRYING to ship these two.

Incorrigible punster.

Inconceivable!
Dude, the second I saw that Marten agreed that Hannelore was pretty, I RAN MY ASS OVER TO THIS FORUM.
And what do I find?
NOBODY TALKING ABOUT IT!

We can start the pun jar at Claire, then we'll pass it around until everyone in violation has put in their dues.
Or perhaps a round of pizza.(_)

OK, seriously Emily, what are you taking? Maybe time to stop?
Didn't we used to have a penalty box for these puns?Only at the coffee shop. Unfortunately, the Library is Tai's domain, and as long as she gets stoned and watches Adventure Time on the clock, these ridiculous puns will continue to occur. :psyduck:
Then 5 minutes later you make a joke about Dr. Hu being a President of China with two hearts.I Xi what you did there, but that joke will soon be out of date.
I can't think of a single exercise that will alter the shape of Marten's shoulders though.Any small thing matter. Even a set of pushups, and chinups/pullups will make a difference, at least in the shoulders department.
Let's have a hand for Claire, Emily and 2368.
Nope. Not sorry at all.
Basically, shipping Marten and Hannelore is a waste of time; heck, shipping Hannelore and ANYONE is a waste of time, her issues simply preclude her having a full romantic and sexual relationship. And yeah, the mods kinda frown on it anyway.
Hahahahaha wonderful, this might be my favourite strip ever.
Hey, if you need intimate contact in your relationships, that's cool - but to say that that's a prerequisite for all relationships is just ignorant.

I wonder whether Emily's brain works kind of like Jeph's.
That and the names.... Mannerlor? Han-Tai? Farten?Oh boy, comedy material! Let's see...
Mean, yet hilarious. It even got Emily's attention, and I'd imagine that can be difficult at times.No, no, the pun was clever, the comment about how Clinton lost his hand wasn't.
Sorry DSL, I only have two hands to give.

Library weirdness:
I go to the photocopy section.
There are separate stalls for each one of the 5 machines.
I hear giggling from the stall next to mine. I can't quite hold my curiosity. I climb on the chair to see over the stall wall, and there they are.
A couple of girls are using it to take "pics" of their asses and breasts.
They bothered to tell me why. Someone forgot their photocopy machine card inserted in the slot, and they thought that would be a funny way to use it.
That was quite a LOL.
Misread that as Army of Dookness.

Apparently to have such a dream you'd have to go without sex for an extended period of time. Probably weeks at least, maybe months. And I'm guessing you're not supposed to jerk off either. But that's an experiment I'm unwilling to undertake, so I couldn't tell you for sure.

I completely sympathize, Dora. I went without sex for a month and a half once.Seeing people complaining about this like a major, cocaine withdrawal level distraction always perplexes me, since I've gone 24 years without sex and I'm doing fine so far.
if Marten does work out and really bulks up, will he still be able mope as effectively if his arms can no longer dangle, spindle-like, at his sides?He could take lessons from Elliot.

I'm fairly certain that the 24 years is Westrim's entire life. That's not to say people who have never had sex don't want to (cough), but you can't exactly go through withdrawal from lack of something if it's something that you've never done.I completely sympathize, Dora. I went without sex for a month and a half once.Seeing people complaining about this like a major, cocaine withdrawal level distraction always perplexes me, since I've gone 24 years without sex and I'm doing fine so far.
Seeing people say things like this always perplexes me, as I can not even fathom going that long without sex. I've gone through cocaine withdrawal, and I will take that over lack of sex any day. :)
Different people are different.
Is it possible there is a hump you can get over (no pun intended) where if you go past a certain amount of time without it the cravings cease, sort of like cigarettes? Entirely possible, but I have never seen the point of trying.
It wasn't a direct comparison, it was an analogy. Substitute caffeine or nicotine. Or for non drugs, and things I actually have gone at least a year without after doing so regularly, seeing a movie, watching tv, using a computer, playing video games, and eating chocolate. I also went without masturbating for three months and got by without major hankerings. Stuff that pleases me, pleases me. Not doing one thing means I'm likely doing something else that pleases me, or too busy to worry about it. Whenever I do get around to copulation, I intend for it to be more about pleasing my partner than scratching my own itch, since if I wanted to please myself I have a hand. Or maybe I'm just a naive virgin and everyone can go about their business.Seeing people complaining about this like a major, cocaine withdrawal level distraction always perplexes me, since I've gone 24 years without sex and I'm doing fine so far.While part of me agrees with you, part of me wants to point out that you've probably also gone 24 years without cocaine and you're probably doing fine with that, too.

...............Congratulations on being love childless.
I wasn't criticizing, I was just saying it's easier to do without something you've never had. And yeah, people are different, some people need some things more than others. That thing is sometimes sex. (shrug)I didn't read it as criticism, insert comment about the difficulty of ascertaining tone from text.

Oh alright. :P
Horrible pun foul.gif
You haven't made any OTHER terrible puns this week, have you?
[ ... ]It was Women's Health and Fitness.Haha! Great first post. Made me giggle.
Oh, Claire.
Whenever I do get around to copulation, I intend for it to be more about pleasing my partner than scratching my own itch, since if I wanted to please myself I have a hand.
Withdrawal (to me) is better than putting up with someone not worth the hassle just to get laid; or worse yet, since no (non surgical) birth control method by itself that I know of is 100% effective....having a child with someone that would be a bad choice as a long term partner/parent.
Wait, what's this about watering Claire? :?Oh, Claire.
You keep misspelling the name of the city. It's "Eau Claire".
I am trying to get a read on Cliare's "luckyyyy". The way she states her first line suggest she is shocked that Marten could get someone like Dora. But, the way she attempts to come to his defense against Tai, suggests she thinks Marten is the desirable one.
I think that Claire is developing a crush on Marten and that she thinks Dora was the lucky one. It must end badly for her because Marten has already said http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2216 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2216) it would be unethical and also http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=615 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=615) does not like the idea of dating a trans woman.
This is my first post -- can someone tell me how to hide the url of a link?
I will give you the "unethical" point, but the way I see it, the latter post does not imply that he would be unwilling to get in the sack with a trans woman. I think it's just him going along with the "trans women who used to be men are a turn off" clichee/joke. (And outside the universe, I suspect Jeph might have forgotten about the comment anyway).
EDIT: Here's another probably irrelevant thing from the past: http://www.questionablecontent.net/1300.
that it would be a hard thing to learn directly and specifically after sex with the trans person in question, not a comment on trans people in general or the possibility of having a relationship with one.
Question: what was Claire's original name? Her brother is Clinton, so I'm going to guess 'Carl,' just so I can imagine Clinton saying "CARRRRRRL!"
I'm definitely cisBeing a former Soviet has nothing to do with gender, though. :angel:
I think overall, Marten simply wants to forget about the whole thing. He doesn't really like to fight and a co-worker is dating is his ex. But I think what Claire had said needed to be mentioned in the first place. I think they are simply trying to just get around the rhino blocking the road, instead of talking it out. And I'm going to say this now, I like the idea of Dora not getting laid. She definetely needs to suffer a bit.I think it's more 'doesn't care' than 'wants to forget'. He's over it and moved on and not angry or disgruntled anymore.
Welcome, new people!
Claire is high-strung and focused on her career. She probably finds Dora more to be admired than Marten just on a non-sexual level.
EDIT: Here's another probably irrelevant thing from the past: http://www.questionablecontent.net/1300.
Regarding the name Claire was given at birth:
More often than not, it seems (from what I've seen) that people transitioning choose a name that is completely and utterly different from their birth name. She could have been "Wendell" for all we know. Just some food for thought.

My name is Syl. If I were to transition, I'd likely change my name to Syd. Close enough to be familiar and not a jarring change, but masculine enough to satisfy the male identification thing.
Bluesummers, I think it's more because all the girls die? Not necessarily in the show, but eventually? And he doesn't want to deal with that? Am I missing a joke here?That's pretty much the reason he leaves people behind. Being with him is dangerous. He doesn't want them to die on some planet millions of lightyears away from where they're from, in a time they weren't even born yet.

Comic 2369, panel 1...It's the same window of an establishment called "...Solace" as in 1844 panel 3, adjacent to a store from which a fairy emerges. Someone suggested a yoga studio. I had a vague thought of an orgy, but that's probably just wishful thinking.
