Oh, I completely forgot, I left my apartment on fire!
Evidence for the idea that Hannelore is being socially astute while seeming not to be.Pretty sure not, actually. Or, rather, she's taking action based on a set of assumptions roughly parallel to Marigold's but definitely not identical.
Hanners evasion is the first instance where it could actually be improved by a "Hey! Look over there! ...yoink!"I dunno… depending on the volume Dora roasts at any given time, the coffee roaster of doom could well be big enough to hold a chicken… getting it in there might be an issue, and I've no idea what that would do to either the chicken, the roaster, or the next batch of beans, however.
Chicken in the roaster? Interesting flavor to the coffee the next couple weeks.Nah, this is just Hanners being an utterly useless liar. She's lucky it got as close to making sense as it did, and she didn't end up saying she had to go check on whether their mongoose's eggs had flown up the wall by next Thursday!
Still better than having to return some video tapes.Or rewinding the DVDs before returning them.
At least it isn't ZathrasNobody listens to Zathras.
[ ... ]Adding that to the list of weird-words-you-can-make-out-of-names.
3) Bad excuse Hanneslore. Everybody knows that Dora lets nobody use the roaster.
Interesting that Marigold's kneejerk reaction when Dale asks if he wanted to see her is to shout "No!" Like, how mean is that? She needs to come to grips with the idea that she can hurt people.
Considering the roaster resides in the Spider Zone, somewhere Hannelore would never willingly go, that makes her excuse even worse.
Nono, it's the season before the season where you get two weeks off for hoildays, promise yourself you will use them to study, then don't and THEN come the finals :P
3) Bad excuse Hannelore. Everybody knows that Dora lets nobody use the roaster.Wasn't Faye showing Dale how to use the roaster a few comics back? Though much earlier in the comic Faye also said there was a super secret method that even she didn't know about. But I guess dora could have changed the process so others could do it, saving her the work. Or maybe the secret process is something else altogether!
At least it isn't ZathrasNobody listens to Zathras.
Yes, I'd have thought compact fluoros would be a bit old-school for Hanners.
Wait, you only have one set of finals per year? Wouldn't that mean you take the same classes all year? That sounds awful.

I haven't voted the poll yet but I'm gonna be hoping for Dale and Marigold or Emily gets a Woodrow.
Hannelore (or Hanners), but not Hannelore. Just a friendly reminder.

She showed him how to bag up the beans when they were done roasting (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2555) so Dora still does the roasting for the shop...

Is to too much to assume these two are gonna bang, then?I'm pretty sure they just did.
Tomorrow's comic:
Panel 1: Dale gets a customer.
Panel 2: Marigold and Dale pause making out, Dale takes the customer's order.
Panel 3: Dale gives the customer their order.
Panel 4: Marigold and Dale resume making out.
:D
Awkward Zone Defeated!Difficulty Level: Expert :D
And tomorrow it turns out this is all just a dramatization of Hannelore's shipping charts.
And tomorrow it turns out this is all just a dramatization of Hannelore's shipping charts.No, Hanners' shipping charts are actual shipping charts. e.g., 1 day to New York, 2 to Chicago, 3 to Dallas, and so on, for how long it takes two people in a crate to be sent to various locations.

The moving text is a sort-of dig at shippers, I guessIs it? It seems weirdly...encouraging.
Tomorrow's comic is going to be NSFW, isn't it?.....
:)
"Ewww... We've got to drink off of that counter....."
Why are people upset about the moving text? Would it be better if it were static? It's not like it ruins the comic, it's just a bit of breaking the fourth wall. And, we DID all see this coming.
Idk seems like an odd thing to pick at, considering it's a cartoon.
I was not expecting Marigold to be so...bold. Aggressive, even. Especially while sober.

Because some people don't have enough real problems to be upset about. :roll:
even though it's missing the word "so"It also has "very" instead of "fucking". Speaking of fucking, isn't it a bit soon?

Wait, is this the first time the fourth wall has been broken? I can't think of any other time.
I think Bryn was referring to Zeb's post.I just wanted to be sure, as I come off sounding like an ass a lot.
oh god i'm covered in squee

Yeah... I think the "We all new this was coming" thing should have been relegated to the strip title or something.
So, how long has it been since we've seen Winslow?

I was about to say, holy crap, Winslow is still alive! And still hasn't had his chassis upgraded to an iPad or something!
Aren't couples making out at coffee places all the time? How is Hanners not desensitized yet? :-D
Uh. Wait. Wasn't Hanners on shift?
I think she just doesn't like to admit she likes to watch.

I think she likes the idea of watching more than the act.

In your link she's drunk. Doesn't make the best case for judging her normal sensibilities.I think she just doesn't like to admit she likes to watch.

Are we sure about that one?
Maybe the rookies are just sloppier kissers. :-P

He was in the poster (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2537) of characters strip (2537).
If you don't count that, he was in the QC forum's guest strip (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2316) (2316).
If you don't count that either, he was wearing a little hat (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2189) (2189).
Wait, why did Faye have to come back? Dale was there.

Well no, that doesn't work, because Hanners clearly would've closed if she hadn't bolted. Also there were no managers until Faye got promoted, just owner and underlings.
I think it's just that Dale was otherwise occupied, and Hanners knew it.Well no, that doesn't work, because Hanners clearly would've closed if she hadn't bolted. Also there were no managers until Faye got promoted, just owner and underlings.
I think it's just that Dale is new.
Marigold has doubtless missed a lot of the usual growing-up activities since she was ten years old.

Crass statement. Care to elaborate on that?
Marigold has doubtless missed a lot of the usual growing-up activities since she was ten years old.Yes. So I think has Dale. I hope they take it slowly. Do some growing up together. Then will I SQUEE.
She just acted like a dick and put Marigold in a difficult situation she might not have been ready for.
By giving these two some alone time, both Dale and Marigold were able to break through their awkwardness long enough, and... well, you know.
Well no, that doesn't work, because Hanners clearly would've closed if she hadn't bolted. Also there were no managers until Faye got promoted, just owner and underlings.Having worked at fairly small establishments, where having a manager close out is not always possible[1], having a trusted minion deal with the money at the end of shift is certainly a possibility. And Hanners is certainly one employee who can be trusted to have an accurate count of the money (hell, if she's good enough to audit for her mother, I think she could handle the daily count for CoD)
I got the impression that Marigold ran away because she saw Faye walk in (edit: she didn't run away due to anything Dale did). It seems like she was embarrassed that Faye saw them making out. Pretty reasonable for someone who's inexperienced.
Faye wasn't working either but as manager, she has to pick up the slack.Hanners grossed out by a situation that she created, and doing a runner (though she presumably rang Faye to let her know); Dale, um, preoccupied; Faye has to pick up the slack. Welcome to the wonderful world of being a supervisor, Faye. :-)
Momo makes it sound like a dark ritual of some kind. COMMENCE THE TOUCHING OF BUTTS!
No results found for "commence the touching of butts".And that's how you know Jeph is creating an original here! 8-)
Would people here not consider their anime night a date?
neutral territory, public placeWho said those are required elements of a date?

I don't get the strip's title, "Portishead's Most Beloved Album". Could someone who knows enough about Portishead to get it please fill me in?
Momo makes it sound like a dark ritual of some kind. COMMENCE THE TOUCHING OF BUTTS!I think Momo's been talking to Hannelore a lot; "the touching of butts" sounds like her.
I hope they take it slowly. Do some growing up together. Then will I SQUEE.Any resemblance between myself and Momo is purely coincidental. Really.
I feel like I'm repeating myself here, but I think it bears mentioning: people like Marigold rarely 'heal' enough to not run away from situations like this without actually going through times that they run away. Maybe I'm projecting a little too much, but we have a very strong alarm sense that we have to face down, and sometimes we have to step away a bit to quiet it.
This is a Marigold victory. No drugs, in public, for a few important minutes no fear. The fear comes back, and will probably never fully go away, but it can become more manageable.
Don't ever expect her to be anything like Dora or Tai or even Faye. She'll probably run away a few more times. But it also probably doesn't mean the same thing to her that it would to other characters.
That's my super-self-projecting theory at any rate.
jesus, can Marigold kiss someone without having to run away?
First, Angus.
Second, space dude.
Now, Dale.
Come on, girl.

What if next week space dude comes to visit and creates teh dramaz? Although this arc probably has enough dramaz as is.
The girl is an Internet meme (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/why-not-both-why-dont-we-have-both), though.
