If you were wondering, here is the recipe for Dale/Farmer pancakes (http://www.dalefarm.co.uk/pages/lakeland/Breakfast%20Pancakes)
Would Marigold be okay with Dale sharing the news like that?
Why is it that being around happy people makes bad moods worse but that it's mood-elevating to be around happy dogs and cats?Simple: Dogs and cats don't talk to you.
Sure they do.Why is it that being around happy people makes bad moods worse but that it's mood-elevating to be around happy dogs and cats?Simple: Dogs and cats don't talk to you.
Well, my cat doesn't talk much, but she has body language that indicates if she is happy or not.Sure they do.Why is it that being around happy people makes bad moods worse but that it's mood-elevating to be around happy dogs and cats?Simple: Dogs and cats don't talk to you.
If you were wondering, here is the recipe for Dale/Farmer pancakes (http://www.dalefarm.co.uk/pages/lakeland/Breakfast%20Pancakes)
Do you have a reciepie for self-raising flour? It is flour and baking powder, I think, but how much of each?
Why is Dale farting little pink hearts… that are levitating him?
Dogs pay attention to their pack so being around a dog means that you know that there's someone who cares. Being around a cat is different because a cat is uninterested in your state so trying to work out what it wants brings you out of yourself.True. Cats only have self-interest. They (sometimes) like to be scratched, they want food, and they want a nice place to sleep. Other than that, they don't give a damn about you. Basically, they are parasites, traditionally tolerated by humans because they occasionally catch worse parasites (mice). Still, there must be some reason why we still keep cats today. I suspect it is only because they are cute.

People are happy near you, thereby creating a contrast between their happiness and your unhappiness that makes the latter seem more stark for the comparison.
Dogs are happy with you, pooling their happiness with your unhappiness to create an improved average between the two.
Cats are happy at your expense. Because cats are dicks.
Ah, I thought it was a mix of flour and magic.And the awkward unexpected pubic hair.
True. Cats only have self-interest. They (sometimes) like to be scratched, they want food, and they want a nice place to sleep. Other than that, they don't give a damn about you.Cats get a bum rap. While it's a common enough stereotype, it doesn't really match my experience with a good many of the critters.

As to why: It is difficult to be envious on dogs and cats, but other people's success may make you envious. I am not saying it is a good thing, but it is the way the human mind works.This is more or less my opinion.
Indeed. Cats are more independent creatures than dogs, but this popular portrayal of them being self interested assholes is blown out of proportion and supported by people who treat them like that. Cats can be every bit as loving and supportive as dogs can be. And dogs can be as aloof and disinterested as cats are portrayed. It's all in how they are raised and treated.

Sharing? Ok, there may be an inference. Ok, a very strong inference.
They're fuzzy!That they are! (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=787)
As to why: It is difficult to be envious on dogs and cats, but other people's success may make you envious. I am not saying it is a good thing, but it is the way the human mind works.If the difference in happiness is rather small, being around happy people can make you happier too. If the difference is large, however, you expect them to show some empathy to you. If they are happy while you are depressed, it might often enough feel like "they're too busy with being happy to care about my worries". From a cat or a dog, you expect no empathy, and seeing how they just lead their happy lives, completely unable to even understand your human worries, might put those worries into some perspective.
Remember. Just because a cat is sociable doesn't mean it'd not evil.
Would Marigold be okay with Dale sharing the news like that?
He never said who it was with, though it would be pretty easy to guess :psyduck:Would Marigold be okay with Dale sharing the news like that?
And you guys were scorning me!
If I ever exhibitted such symptoms, I would be seeking professional medical assistance.Why is Dale farting little pink hearts… that are levitating him?
What, that's never happened to you?
God, you must be weird or something :mrgreen:
Something is up. Faye is mad Dale was late but something else is bothering her, She is a little over the top here. Maybe the news of two guys she knows getting laid and each having the opposite reaction was too much.

You missed a strip (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2641), I guess.
I think this is Faye's ordinary behavior towards the rookie. I have the feeling that the chemistry between Dale and Faye is not the best. Perhaps he is too easy going for her taste, but she should definitely try to be more nice towards him. The boot camp should be over by now.Something is up. Faye is mad Dale was late but something else is bothering her, She is a little over the top here. Maybe the news of two guys she knows getting laid and each having the opposite reaction was too much.My guess is that she is trying to keep dale from making "Mark" feel worse.
Feminist action for the day: We as a society need more female helicopter mechanics.
"Love and pancakes, love and pancakes,
Go together like Kubric and retakes.
This I tell ya, brother, you can't have one without the other."(click to show/hide)
I cannot confirm a similar status for "that girl" and "that individual of fluid gender status". Members of those groups have not done the post sexin "La la la I got laid" shit at any where I've worked, but I'm sure they're out there annoying the piss out of other people.
I find this all a bit tacky of Dale. Marigold is good friends with the rest of Marten and Faye, coming into work and announcing to them that he has had sex with her just doesn't feel right.Marigold and Dale will have been aware that their mutual friends will ask anyway, so they probably just resolved to "yeah, just tell 'em when you see 'em".
I can actually picture her coming into COD, being congratulated by Dora and Faye (and possibly Hanners) and running away again in embarassment. Or at least blushing as much as possible.
And probably Dale and Marbear are also still awkward around each other.
Dale is a long-time good friend to The Pugnacious Peach, judging from his Secret Menu privileges.
The other thing that could happen, of course, is Marigold suddenly becoming this calm, mature, rational person.
...Or is that a trope?

If it happened suddenly, then yeah.
But if gradually she continued on her present course of getting out more and more of her shell and becoming more confidant, then it would be normal character development. You can change the shape of the neural tunnels, but it takes time.
Right, because Faye never talks about outside stuff at work :roll:

It's a well-known fact that a good bang can have a temporary soothing effect on anxieties, so there's that too.
Marigold seems rather prudish for a woman who contracted a robot with an eelgina.
In light of today's comic, I'm glad I also used the verb "can".It's a well-known fact that a good bang can have a temporary soothing effect on anxieties, so there's that too.Oh, of course. I know you used the word "temporary" for a reason, but I'll say it anyways - it really is only temporary.
I think we have the L word.
Lexicon.You win.
@McSnarf - Not that mysterious. She's actually taking care of herself and eating better, much better compared to before, if Hanners has anything to do with it.Hm... Probably true long term. Also, she had a lovely night, which would probably show.
I'm not seeing a difference besides her hair and she probably just showered.Okay, then it's probably just me! :) Thanks.
I'm not seeing a difference besides her hair and she probably just showered.Ahhhh, that makes sense. Marigold doesn't shower for weeks on end, that's why she looks so messy all the time. And after she had sex with Dale she was all icky so she went and showered for once in a blue moon. Makes sense. I generally only shower after having sex too. I don't know why I didn't think of that.
(New reader/poster here, after a five day diet on nothing but QC...)
Is it only me or has Marigold undergone a mysterious transition to slightly slimmer, better skin and better hair? Okay - the last we saw of her before had her under the effects of medication and a rash, but...
Unpopular opinion: Despite my initial elation (such as what Dale is experiencing), once I rationally thought about it, I might think less of Marigold for going all the way on the first date. A lot of my reasons for being uncomfortable with it might be mitigated if I knew that previously she was a virgin though.
Edit: To be fair, I'd think less of myself too.
Unless you also think less of Dale, you've got one of our culture's stupidest ideas lodged in your brain.Only way I'd think less of Marigold (and I'd also think less of Dale too) is if they didn't use a condom. Seriously people, men and women, always use a condom, for the respect and love of yourself, and for the respect and love of your partners. I know they are both virgins but I don't think either of them knew that they were both virgins. And even then, people who are virgins have been known to have somehow picked up an STD that they weren't aware of.
What is this about "first date"? They have met often. They know each other well. What makes a "date" so special? What if they had had sex without ever "dating"? Would that have been worse?I agree. I think... I've actually only ever had one "first date" in my life. I think it was with my uh... 5th person I dated? I went through the formal shit with him, asked him out to a dinner and a movie. Wound up being the worst relationship of my life lol.
"First Date" seems like a silly framework and set of standards [...].
Having just met in a bar and clicked on is just as perfect a framework for having sex as any.
I am going to don my asbestos undies and go against the flow here.
Male or female, SEX ON THE FIRST DATE IS SLUTTY, NOT EMPOWERING. Please note that I am including BOTH genders. Penis or vagina, there's no solid justification.
Seriously, how is putting out for the first vagina/penis available empowering? Intimacy is a very important thing. For men and women, one's first sexual experience is considered a mark of becoming an adult. Even after the likely heartbreak, sex remains something special, something shared with someone important. Sex isn't just sex, it's emotions, drives, needs, desires, and more besides. I'd even go so far as to say that sex is a sacred experience for humans because of all the intangibles that go into it. Trust, attraction, creation, vulnerability, and more that I don't even have names for.
Marigold and Dale don't really know each other well. They've seen anime together that one time and Dale did that WoW harrassment but that's it. I haven't seen any meaningful conversations or interactions similar to those that Marten and Angus did with Dora and Faye. This whole thing just feels rushed, from a literary and realistic point of view.
caveat: I'm not saying save it for marriage and make sure it's your one true love, I'm saying that that biological imperative to stick it in to guarantee your genes being passed on is not the be-all, end-all to everything! There's more to it than just pleasure, dammit.
Am I seeing things or did Marigold's character get a redesign?
Or is it just the afterglow and a good fucking? :-o
Because that's purty impressive.
@ Black Sword
Not sure...if serious or not. :psyduck:
A pregnancy scare story arc could be interesting. I doubt Dale had protection on hand.
It's a separate matter really. A random sexual encounter can lead to something durable, or can just be a shooting star of tenderness. And some awesome love stories started on online dating sites specifically oriented towards sexual flings.Having just met in a bar and clicked on is just as perfect a framework for having sex as any.
It's how my wife and I met. Been together 25 years now.

Male or female, SEX ON THE FIRST DATE IS SLUTTY, NOT EMPOWERING. Please note that I am including BOTH genders. Penis or vagina, there's no solid justification.First off, it wasn't really their first date, they've known each other for a while, even if this was their first formal date (which trainwrecked). That being said, yeah I think they probably did rush sex, because they haven't known each other that long, and yes I agree it's not empowering, but it's also not slutty. It's just sorta, rushing things and poor decision making.

Many other people can and there is nothing wrong with them, OR with people like me (and Martin). It's just natural variations on human sexuality.

There is a pretty wide shade of gray between empowering and slutty.
Also for what it's worth, one of the best relationships I ever had was with a guy I just had sex with one day because I was horny, and really wanted to fuck someone. Then AFTERWARDS I got to know him, and found out we were extremely compatible. I hardly remotely recommend this as a technique for finding a long term partner, as it was mostly a fluke, but for crying out loud, doesn't make you slutty to enjoy having sex with someone. Just wear a fucking condom.For men and women, one's first sexual experience is considered a mark of becoming an adult.I said it up higher on this page, but I'll say it again.
Sex is neither as good or as evil as you've built it up to be. The media, the people, who tell you it's the greatest thing ever? That it's what makes you an adult? They're bloody fucking crazy, you're the same person before and after having sex, just a little stinkier after sex, until after you've showered. Hell, for the average person, their first time having sex is kinda lame, because they're too wrapped up in the nonsense of trying to perform right, or rush to the orgasm, instead of just enjoying it. That's something you learn to do over time, nobody seems to get it at first.Even after the likely heartbreak, sex remains something special, something shared with someone important. Sex isn't just sex, it's emotions, drives, needs, desires, and more besides. I'd even go so far as to say that sex is a sacred experience for humans because of all the intangibles that go into it.

Many other people can and there is nothing wrong with them, OR with people like me (and Martin). It's just natural variations on human sexuality.
For what it's worth? Dale and Marigold did have emotion behind it, they weren't having sex for the sake of sex, they were having sex because they were caught up in powerful infatuation emotions. Perhaps not the wisest thing, but they were not having sex to just to have sex or to get rid of their virginities.

Is it bad that I only realized today that they had sex? I assumed based on her face expression in 2638 panel 3 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2638) that she dragged him to the door without saying a word, then proceeded to shower.It's... kinda bad, because now you'll have to tell us what you thought Momo was worried about the use Marigold could do of the syrup on her own, in the following strip. :-D
Then I'm outing myself as a slut. And I'm proud of it. I'll be adding it to my sig right now.
Well, I've been off the circuit, so to speak, for a while now, but I seem to remember when EVERY guy had protection on hand ALL the time. 'Cause you just never know.I wish I was where you live, because in my experience that's woefully grossly untrue. Then again I live in THE SOUTH, land of abstinence only sex-ed, and wall to wall insane and dangerous attempts at making people feel ashamed about having sex, so much shame that they are too busy feeling shame to actually prepare and be safe for sex when it does happen.
I find the idea of having to begin a relationship by formally going on dates (often with expectations attached to what has to happen at the Xth date) a little ridiculous. Looking at QC and other popular culture coming from the US, this seems to be much more a thing there than in Germany - although I will immediately admit that pop culture does of course not necessarily portray reality very accurately. I have never "dated" anyone by that definition.Nobody in America really does that dating thing. It's an outdated thing which hasn't really been common for about 50 years. But it survives as a trope in fiction because it's a convenient and easy setup for drama.

Maybe in that situation the formalised setting of dates makes it easier?

I was going to suggest that they'd join forces on WoW, but I suspect Marigold would not want to do that until after marriage.Oh please, like Marigold would ever go Alliance. She's far too ethical for that. Dale needs to go Horde for her. Just say no to evil Alliance scum.

I'm the woman and I'm the one who has to provide the condoms every fucking time I swear. I wind up handing them out to random guys on a regular basis who I see getting close to getting laid with someone else, because I'm like CHRIST ALMIGHTY USE A FUCKING CONDOM THIS ISN'T A GODDAMN JOKE.
I don't carry a condom around with me, mainly because I know I'm not going to get laid. :psyduck:I used to be like that. Now I've been carrying condoms around with me since late December of 2011. According to the box, their expiration date is June of 2016. Maybe I'll use one before then? Who knows? The future is full of surprises.

But no, the lubricant is there because it can help with caressing a clit. Same with the gloves, in some cases. Heard it can make it slicker.

Mari without glasses...approved.
If you can snap on a pair of latex gloves during foreplay without your partner running out of the room screaming, my hat's off to you.Well, two things: I wasn't speaking of foreplay, I was speaking of fingering; and it isn't really something that I'd bring up on my own early on, just an accessory some lesbian friends told me could be fun.

While I haven't considered the possibility of latex gloves before (Wow what sorta lameass boring kinky person am I?), I'm more or less up for trying almost anything first, so if you explained what you're doing, I might think it's odd, but I'll totally give it a shot and I definitely won't be running out of the room screaming.Challenge accepted.It just so happens that I'm not into anal, but if I were the lubricant would be obvious, wouldn't it?

Sex isn't just sexIt can be just sex and there's nothing wrong with that, who are you to judge?
it's emotions, drives, needs, desires, and more besides. I'd even go so far as to say that sex is a sacred experience for humans because of all the intangibles that go into it. Trust, attraction, creation, vulnerability, and more that I don't even have names for.Sure. But some times all you want is to have a good, hard fuck.

Ah, yes. Good ol' fractal wrongness.
What is this about "first date"? They have met often. They know each other well. What makes a "date" so special? What if they had had sex without ever "dating"? Would that have been worse?
So it's a book...but where's the face?Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh. Just looked at it again and...oh.
"First Date" seems like a silly framework and set of standards [...].
I agree with that. I find the idea of having to begin a relationship by formally going on dates (often with expectations attached to what has to happen at the Xth date) a little ridiculous. Looking at QC and other popular culture coming from the US, this seems to be much more a thing there than in Germany - although I will immediately admit that pop culture does of course not necessarily portray reality very accurately. I have never "dated" anyone by that definition. Sure, I sometimes go out to dinner with my boyfriend for celebrations or because we feel like it, but that was always after we were already together. I suppose we also went out to dinner or cinema or something when we were still just friends, but that weren't dates either, just stuff we did together as friends. Same thing with my first boyfriend.
But then, I was friends with both my boyfriends before being in a relationship with them (in one case a seven-year friendship, in the other about 6 months), so I guess it's not the same thing as when you're still getting to know each other while already in romantic pursuit. Maybe in that situation the formalised setting of dates makes it easier?
That makes no sense. Good as in...an actual pun? If a pun makes you laugh, it is a good pun. If it doesn't, it is a bad pun.I think his point was that approximative puns tend to be funnier per se for being both daring and silly. Without further elements, like proper timing, context and delivery, exact puns tend to fall flat for being clever and nothing else.

I like to imagine that Claire was waiting a very long time for Faye to be reading a book just so that she could do that.Heh, we punsters tend to do that now and then.
Guys. I just realized. Claire is at CoD. Where either Marten's or Dale's escapades might be discussed.
If this was a David Willis comic, I would expect immediate drama.
No, Faye. First you hit her in the head with your book. Then you kick her out of the store.I'm surprised Claire is not posted on the wall right now.
Good old Claire, and Faye needs a Grumpy Cat t-shirt.Faye is always grumpy when wearing that T-shirt. It looks like a slow day at CoD, Marten must have left (finally!), and Dale is on trash duty. It looks like the Dale/Marigold and Marten/Delilah threads have finally ended, with very different outcomes.
Today is our 33rd wedding anniversary.

WAITAMINUTEWAITAMINUTEWAITAMINUTE ... how the HELL would a little slip of a thing like Claire get a book away from the Pugnacious Peach without severe corporeal damage?

A person needs new experiences.
They jar something deep inside, allowing them to grow.
Without them, it sleeps- seldom to awaken.
The sleeper must awaken

Claire should be careful what she gets up to around Faye. If she climbs the pun-ladder too much it might get Faye-tall.:facepalm: Claire should not anger the Fayery (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1844).
If Faye built a bull-shaped coffee maker for Dora and Claire attached pictures of kittens to it, that would be a Dora Bull.
You owe the pun jar jar $20. (There are no further jars)(http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111208042122/starwars/images/4/42/JarJarHS-SWE.jpg) Oh yes, there is!
You owe the pun jar jar $20. (There are no further jars)All glory to the meta-jar!

I used to find Claire a bit bland as a character, but I've groaned to like her.
The 13th letter was recited Emily.I get the M...but where do you get the L E?
It was a Tai.
Would everybody hate me if I went ahead and declared this week and next week would have four comics instead of the normal five?
See what happens, people? We start punning without remorse, and the boss goes and doesn't do a comic!

I declare a war of the grins.I better dig through my bookshelves then for my copies of the The Brothers Grinn, Mother Goose and Grinn and the new fave from the DVD collection The Grinn Adventures of Billy and Mandy
I thought 2293 might be more striking.
Someone needs to do one of those with a picture of Colin Mochrie...

Interesting, apparently in between 1640 and 1668 he took out his plugs and they shrunk to nothing :roll:
(Considering he only had them in 1640, it seems to just be an error. Perhaps I should bring this to the Did You Notice? thread)

Wow, when he was introduced, Dale seemed to know far more about relationships.
He is?Look up the "Colin Mochrie vs. Jesus H. Christ" trilogy on Albino Black Sheep.

Also, look up the submissions for Pintsize's present: Colin Mochrie was there too.
He could have easily known them on a theoretical level, but never been able to apply that on his own life. 'Tis easier after all to give good advice to others from the perspective of an outside party than it is to follow it once one has a personal stake in the matter. And yes, I know this from experience.Interesting, apparently in between 1640 and 1668 he took out his plugs and they shrunk to nothing :roll:

Can you refresh my memory on that, or provide a link? I don't remember "Pintsize's present", sorry.I'm still trying to retrieve it. Jeph once posted a picture of Pintsize looking startled by what was going out of a box, and asked readers to submit ideas about what that was.
What exactly is jumping out of the box to horrify Hanners? That's up to you! I welcome all submissions. You can download a print-quality version here.
I should also mention that Cristi and I are now officially engaged! Cristi is the best lady a fellow could hope to have, so I am one lucky dude indeed.
Have a safe and happy holiday, regular QC updates resume tomorrow.
