Based on the AI that was supposed to be Marten's companion, I'd say metal.I'd completely forgotten about that whale. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS? :psyduck:
But which species of whale???????
Actually, the sperm whale's penis averages out at about 12 feet long, and its testes (which are internal), weigh over a tonne.
So not really a door knocker, more so one of those Victorian-era bell-pull-things.
Just checking in to see if anyone's picked up on the double meaning that occurred to me after I posted previously.

Seriously though, I'd say it sounds like one of the many many names for Jeremy's Band from Zits.
My guess is that Padma's going to be out in California until just exactly the moment when her reappearance will complicate Marten's life beyond repair.
You mean to say that Sir David Attenborough LIED to me?!Actually, the sperm whale's penis averages out at about 12 feet long, and its testes (which are internal), weigh over a tonne.

Not quite - Wikipedia lists the Blue Whale as having the largest penis of any living mammal at an average of 8 to 10 feet/2.4 to 3 metres, with an average girth of 12-14 inches/30.5- 36 Centimetres
What a cliffhanner!
Uh oh.Not the noise. It is what is said.
Is the noise making Hanners shake? If so, they must be yelling quite loudly.
Or maybe she's freaking out about the noise. Seems more likely.
Hannerocks fall; everyone dies.But what game are we playing? Call of Chtulhu? (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1753)
Please don't make Hanners angry.
:psyduck:
You wouldn't like Hanners when she's angry.
uh ohhhhh
*digs foxhole*
*puts on helmet*
*popcorn*
"Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?I wasn't aware that Hanners comes from a land Down Under :psyduck:
You better run, you better take cover."
I guess we'll see tomorrow if she has another she-hulk moment to break up an argument.She can be pretty explicit when she hanners her point home.
*PREDICTION: Hanners breaks up the arguments by smiling and handing them all a vegemite sandwich*That would succeed in uniting everyone against her, so not a bad idea.
Is Vegemite really that bad?Not really - It's an acquired taste, of course. What really throws people is that they see it and immediately think it's like Nutella, and then they taste it and it's bitter instead of sweet. Also you don't eat it by the spoonful.
With an extra big Hanner, no less.I guess we'll see tomorrow if she has another she-hulk moment to break up an argument.She can be pretty explicit when she hanners her point home.

Is Vegemite really that bad?Combine it with butter (on toast, for example) and I actually find it quite tasty.
Ouch!
What's scary is that Jeph tends to do the unexpected. Hannelore may explode in some new and previously unsuspected way.

Bang Bang Hanners' Silver Hammer come down on her head, bang bang Hanner's Silver Hammer, make sure that she was dead...That's terrifying because it could happen.
What a cliffhanner!:facepalm: worst pun ever. Congratulations!

Hannersplosion tomorrow?No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.

She shouldn't have boom. (http://sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4944)Hannersplosion tomorrow?No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.
I don't know what bothers me more...that Faye still gets defensive when people call her out on her drinking, or that Marten's mom apparently has the emotional maturity of an eleven year old.

If The Space Station is in polar orbit, then she would have spent half her childhood down under.
Hanners looks nothing like Ivanova!
"If someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!"Hanners looks nothing like Ivanova!
At least she hasn't equated herself to being a God......yet.
I dunno, being yelled at that hard might make Marten's mom want to hire Hannelore.♪ If they say that I'm a God thats what I am. ♫"If someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!"Hanners looks nothing like Ivanova!

Hanners nuked the site from orbit.
God damn it, you people have ruined me. My first thought upon seeing the container of space tea was "I wonder if it contains the same space-ingredients as space ham".
If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go put on my space-robe and do some space-penance, then maybe I'll hit up space-Denny's for some not!space-ham. Because seriously, who in their right mind actually eats space ham?
Yes! We get it! You're in space!
I think Hanners yelled so hard Marten's mum may no longer be a dom.

No. Space ham comes from Piiiiiiigs In Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!
I am only distressed to see that the Finest Space Tea apparently comes in bags. Tea-bags are nasty.
In zero gravity liquid would be a nuisance.Space food comes in tubes ... why shouldn't space tea come in bags?
What's wrong with tea bags?I am only distressed to see that the Finest Space Tea apparently comes in bags. Tea-bags are nasty.
I share your distress in general about tea bags, but maybe in zero gravity loose tea would be a nuisance.
What's wrong with tea bags?They just taste less-good in general. That being said, they're a lot easier to clean up after than using leaves. I freaking hated cleaning tea filters at my old job.
In zero gravity liquid would be a nuisance.Actually no liquid, i.e. water, is quite easy to handle in space.
Space ham comes from space pigs. This is what they look like. (http://www.fearthegooberzilla.com/pics/st01.JPG)That link is just forbidden.
Hanners nuked the site from orbit.
Is that covered under the rental insurance?
I am only distressed to see that the Finest Space Tea apparently comes in bags. Tea-bags are nasty.loose leaf tea could create quite a mess in micro-gravity, so bags make sense. however, being the finest space tea, they're probably made of nylon or silk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_bag#Tea_bag_shapes), rather than paper like regular space teabags.
for some reason the final panel becomes comedy gold if you imagine their reaction is not from a vicious scream, but a gigantic belch.
| HANNELORE used GIGANTIC BELCH. It's super effective! |
So, it seems that Hanners is the Kwisatz Haderach.Kwisatz Hannerach
however, being the finest space tea, they're probably made of nylon or silk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_bag#Tea_bag_shapes), rather than paper like regular space teabags.Or one of Hannerdad's high-tech fibers!
I sort of imagine the Hannersplosion being a little bit like a basilisk image, only voiced. It happens so utterly rarely that, when she finally goes off, all that pent up pressure turns in to something altogether different, and terrible to behold. A combination of too much exposure to the CoD staff and their swearing habits, unchecked anxiety, and an extreme dislike of her friends fighting caused her to spontaneously forge the Ultimate Swear, and now their brains are recoiling in horror and attempting to reboot.
I love how zen she looks in the second to last panel.Yes, or at least wabi-sabi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi); she's even in sort-of seiza (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seiza). I've never seen a deep pink chawan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chawan) before, but it harmonises nicely with her dress.
Does anyone know where the kettle is?
I like the idea of an audio basilisk (and welcome to the forum).
This is why the way Jeph did it is such good storytelling. Instead of limiting it to what actually happened, he left the door open to every possibility.
He put the P in PERL

Um... but Perl is not an acronym...
They don't say meatspace in meatspace.Our universe is a simulation anyway, so meatspace is not a good term :psyduck:
"Uncle Charlie" is also a baseball term for a curve ball....pun jar now.
Just thought I'd throw that out.
From a dictionary of the year 2200:
Meatspace - Predecessor of cyberspace. The domain of meatbags (see there). Seriously, we AI dont waste time in that game much, because it has excellent physics and graphics, but the possibilities are so limited and the game balance is completely whack. Some AI theoretisize though that if the game in Meatspace is lost, Cyberspace will be lost as well, but thats probably just a superstition.
I prefer the term "face time". I got that term from Al Gore, and he invented the Intertubes, so I'd trust him more than this guy.Apple kind of ruined that.

Pretty hard to have a mom who is more sexually adventurous than you are, and doesn't hide the fact. Which brings the thought to mind about how wide a gap there might have been between Marten and Dora's range of sexual tastes. For that matter Dora and Veronica possibly share the same problem regarding Marten, they aren't always as respectful or sensitive to his sexual boundaries as they might be. That certainly was one of the things that seemed to have brought the problems in Marten and Dora's relationship to a boiling point.
Ooh. You better watch out for Ann Coulter after saying that...
Someone explain the pun in "Knocking Boots"?
Based on her interactions with Tai, I'd guess Dora's sexual tastes/experience level to be closer to Marty's than to V.V.'s.Pretty hard to have a mom who is more sexually adventurous than you are, and doesn't hide the fact.

Hopefully Marten and Jim can discuss how Dora and Victoria are more adventurous than them.
Those are what are traditionally called fireman's boots. The yellow is reflective.
...why exactly should they?No particular reason except that it could be funny and that QC characters always seem to get into conversations that are a little TMI/awkward given their relationships... Two people who once dated discussding how they find their new partners sexually intimidating and/or mind-opening seems to fit right in around here.
Fucking? Fighting? It's all the same.
I wonder if they're listening to Barry WhiteNo, Bootsy Collins.
Ancient joke:
Reporter meets the returning troop ship and, hoping for a human interest story, asks a returning GI "What's the first thing you're going to do when you get home?"
"Fuck my wife!"
"Ahh -- OK. Don't think we can print that. What's the second thing you're going to do?"
"Take off these fucking combat boots!"
