So then the scientists studying the emergent AI Gary would get to know him better if they got smashed on vermouth?Why not? As long as they offer the emergent AI an alcoholic beverage (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2085), too?
How do we know they aren't all the same? We know AI consciousnesses can transfer bodies, so...
This is a different drunk Marten than we've seen before. He's generally been a quiet, mellow, friendly drunk, not the loud, angsty one we're seeing here. It's also interesting that Angus apparently isn't drunk. Does that mean he's drank less, or does he hold his liquor somewhat better than Marten does?Well, Angus has an audition in NYC tomorrow, so I guess he is trying not to drink too much. Besides, his goal was to get some advice from Marten, not to get drunk himself.
Drunk people are, sadly, frequent assholes.Drunk people are frequently sad assholes, too.
"I love you, man"? Wonder if Steve's that drunk... if so, next comic may just be four panels of hugging and alternating declarations of love...Dude we have talked about this! (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2321)
Damn it, Faye, I know you're drunk but "cruel" is one syllable. According to "how many syllables" it's two, but who the fuck says "croo-el"? It rhymes with "rule"!I do. I pronounce "quiet" as two syllables as well. And yes, I am a native English speaker.
Maybe Wil will be inspired to try some more lucrative kind of writing?Well, Jimbo is a highly successful writer (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=180), but only because he writes utter trash. He might give Wil a few ideas on how to make a living from being an author, but somehow I feel Wil will not be able to write anything that people want to buy. Besides, Wil appears to be happy with his current job, and he probably has realized that being a poet is no way to make a living.
So Jeph has fallen into the same trap as I.
Yeah I don't get that either. It's quiet, not quite.
So Jeph has fallen into the same trap as I.
Yep. Damn you Randall Munroe! I'd never have known about that game if you hadn't brought it up!
Then everything went to hell. :grumpypuss:
Wait, you lost with that or you just stopped playing?
Buh?
Here's a variant I saw linked on another forum (http://louhuang.com/2048-numberwang/)The score is Q to 12!
According to Jeph's Twitter account, "You will HATE Friday's strip." Either something horrible will happen, or more likely, Claire will make puns.

"highly successful ... because he writes utter trash" ... we need Sven in this mix. Would he hit it off with Jimbo right away, or would they be natural rivals? Either could be nothing less than entertaining.
Comparing 2048 to Flappy Bird? Blasphemy.
Pleeeeeeze don't let that be the last we see of Wil & Jimbo together. They haven't even gotten to their common literary theme of throbbing man-parts.Jimbo should become Wil's mentor in a new career as a best-selling author of quasi-pornographic romance novels.
Marten must either drink a lot faster than Steve and Angus, or be a two-pot screamer.I think it's the former. As the Arc That Shall Not Be Linked clearly demonstrated, he can be very determined in "self-medicating with alcohol".
Seeing how drunk Marten is, I am really dreading Friday.
I'm wondering if that might be in the opposite order... Angus tells Faye he's leaving, it doesn't go well, then a still-drunk Marten admits his undying love for Faye and gets knocked into next Thursday. (The question of whether Marten still has feelings for Faye showed up regularly while he was with Dora... has it necessarily gone away?)Seeing how drunk Marten is, I am really dreading Friday.
You are not only, mon ami.
I have this nightmare scenario that somehow Marten hits on Faye, Faye knocks Marten into the middle of next week, and Angus promptly tells Faye he's leaving.
That suggests another possibility: Angus is so stressed out about getting the job and explaining it to Faye that he screws up the interview and ends up not getting the job.
Maybe even eaten by a Grue, or an allosaurus.
Jimbo should become Wil's mentor in a new career as a best-selling author of quasi-pornographic romance novels.
Isn't it weird, though, that Angus has stayed up so long despite having this important audition the next day? At least he's not drunk, but I'd not want to go into the equivalent of a job interview with such little sleep. Or maybe the audition is in the evening.
Prediction: we will hate Friday's comic because Thursday's will be a cliffhanger and Friday's will switch scenes completely. And also be a cliffhanger.
Boss says on Twitter comics are done through Tuesday (in essence, April 1st).
And for some reason, he thinks Wil Wheaton is gonna LOVE Friday's comic...
The three players are all in one place... things could go south in a real hurry.
We just need to find out what Wil Wheaton ships and speculate from there.
There's also the possibility Faye's shift starts before the shop actually opens, cleaning and turning on machines and such.
Everyone else will hate it because of the anti-climax.

That. But there's also another reason why she goes into work a bit early. - http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1719 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1719)
I come from a land down underDefinitely chunder time (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chunder) tomorrow. Preferably in Faye's lap. Faye should not complain, as she has given Marten the same treatment before (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=185). But she will definitely be angry. Fortunately, she has no testicles that can be destroyed (but she might destroy Marten's) :mrgreen:
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.
Hmm... going back to the idea of it being a Claire-pun, perhaps the remaining events of the night are skipped over entirely, and we see Marten at the library, complaining about his hangover. He wonders what he did last night and what punishment awaits. Hopefully, it's nothing that he'd hang over.Everyone else will hate it because of the anti-climax.
My first guess about the Friday cartoon that we'll hate was exactly that - an anti-climax of some sort.
The suggestion of a cliff-hanger is a good one too.
Outrageous behaviour or dramatic showdown between current protagonists, though it looks like the way things could be heading, is not exactly "you are going to hate this" material.
Surely it'll be something unexpected. Or a Yelling Bird filler. That would be annoying.
Or a horrible pun...
hang overLynch cesium133.
Jeph said "Do you speaka my language?", I just smiled and gave him a Vegemite sandwich.
Okay, I LOL'ed at this one.Quotehang overLynch cesium133.

in a fried out CombiWhat does this mean?
Combi is the name of an Aussie make of van. It's what Men At Work are seen "falling out of" in the video for "Land Down Under."
Sheesh, it's like people never even heard of the 80's.
Wow, there's a song that hadn't crossed my mind in almost 40 years. It... isn't any better than it was in 1975.
And don't even get me started on the movie.
The Microbus wasn't even a VW Type 2 in the movie. It was a "short" GM bus.Is there no end to the perfidy? C.W. McCall isn't even his real name. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._W._McCall)
I'm guessing that (after, or while, they clean Marten up) he finds the most tactless way possible to bring up Angus' gig, Faye's reaction, etc etc. Possibly under the delusion that he's "helping" by getting it all out in the open. (Along with his stomach contents.)

Oh yeah, sounds like a contender.
but she's not in the dark about this.
An Aussie name for a German (Volkswagen) make of van.To add confusion, may I alert everyone to the random fact that "Kombi" is the German word for... no, not a van, but a station wagon ( because it... combines features of a sedan and a van, probably)

Or his cloaca, either.
Warning - while you were typing a new comment regarding the excretion hole of a fictional bird has been posted. You may wish to review your priorities in the life.
Do Jeph and Wil have some kind of history or is this a recent thing?I dunno what kind of history, or how long they've had it, but yes, they do. They are friends on Twitter, at least, and Wil's avatar has been drawn by Jeph (I believe it's a cropout from a comic where Wil made a cameo appearance?)

Yeah... just realized this is the comic I get for my birthday. Thanks, Jeph. :laugh:Happy Birdsday!
I was relieved as soon as I saw that it's just Yelling Bird. Better this than an unpleasant plot twist.
I'd rather have had some drama.Why, though? I'm genuinely curious why something bad happening could be preferable.
It's the recipe for writing a good story. If no bad thing ever happens, it gets boring.Even in porn. Imagine what would happen if no sinks ever got clogged, or if nobody got hungry and ordered pizza.
Unless it's porn, I guess.
