Title: WCDT Strips 3791 - 3795 (23rd to 27th July 2018)
Post by: NemesisDancer on 22 Jul 2018, 16:09
There didn't seem to be a WCDT for this coming week yet so I thought I'd attempt one (the stickied thread said it should be alright but if not then feel free to lock/delete!)

I've seen various suggestions on here and Patreon for what outfits Bubbles should try next in her experimentations with fashion. Collected a few of these in the poll and added one or two extras.


What's everyone anticipating for the week ahead? We've had quite a few characters turn up recently, so this week's comics could be more Faye/Bubbles bonding, further delving into Clinton and Claire's backstory (or indeed Brun's), bread-related antics from Roko, or more bizarre scientific musings from Dale and Emily.

Love the idea of the floral print dress but the idea I had that made me laugh was

Princess Leia cosplay.  CinnaBuns hair, long white dress & blaster ;) Of course Faye would rock as Han...

Hope she’s not tossing everything off the bed.  Pintsize can handle it, but I’m not sure about the laptop.

Yeah, I think that Claire has reached her breaking point. I suspect that the crew will need to stage an intervention and do so very soon! Pintsize may need to call Marten, who may need to take a personal day to help Claire get on top of things (specifically postgrad career direction and/or a temporary job).

Meanwhile, I'm wondering if, in her freak-out, she's attempting a Mary Poppins solution: Throw everything into the air with a positive attitude and, Lo! It is all magically done when it has come back down!

Regarding Claire's future job: I think that she may end up tutoring Sam (who, like many, doesn't perform well outside her areas of interest) and some of her friends. I get the impression that she's a good teacher. Either that or Tai contrives to get Claire a gig at the library.

Answering the poll and offering a suggestion to today's comic (https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3791): Bubbles and Claire should go shopping for clothes together. Claire had some great 'dress up' (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2791) montages that show a remarkable range (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2397), I am sure she could assist Bubbles very well...

Re poll: I agree with the basic premise of 19th century clobber, but strongly disagree with the idea of corset and bustle. That would merely look good.
Bubbles needs to be *magnificent*.

I see a long red coat. I see brocade, I see gilt, I see brass buttons shined until they fuckin' gleam.
I see eppaulettes.

The tricorn is optional. While it would look amazing, she has a sense of decorum and would never wear a hat indoors.

A white ruffled shirt. A cravat. Breeches and excellent boots.

In short, a badass Sgt. Pepper.

Bubs: a 2B outfit from Nier: Automata would make her look really badass!  :-D
For real: i like the casual loose-fitting attire. A pair of cargo-pants would look great on her, combined with a nice colourful t-shirt.

Claire needs a break. Maybe partying for one night would be enough, it did wonders for me in those days.
We don‘t know yet if she‘s facing a more serious crisis.
But this is QC. So maybe, yes.

We‘ll see.

Viz. Claire, in this strip. I have been there. Didn't get a MLIS, but do have a M.S. and a Ph.D. Prelims or comprehensives (or whatever they're called in comic universe) are so much work, and in her situation it comes at the end of her academic career, so she's struggling with the idea that she needs to find a job afterwards. Definitely empathize with the impulse to just throw everything.

Nice to see Jeph addressing the anxiety of going out in the real world after graduate studies, which tends to be a somewhat underestimated issue that is often waved away by those not having been in grad school. Many think that just having a MS/PhD is a guarantee for finding a job immediately and making boatloads of money. This is true for very few majors though, and the reality is often otherwise for most majors. 

While grad school can be, and often is, stressful on its own accord due to lack of money, fear of failing, intellectual challenges, etc., it is at the same time also quite a protective bubble that keeps you safe and in a low-risk position for years. Often the longer you are in grad school the more daunting it is to go into industry, I think. I found it quite daunting myself to put myself out there and find a 'real' job after many years in grad school, and I would consider my major to be a relatively 'safe' one in terms of prospects....

Nier: Automata kinda feels a little cheap there, but yes.
Her size takes away some of the loose, and turns it into somewhat light.


Some partying and banging that makes Hanners have a smoke afterwards (they still do live in the same building, right?).

My nephew is finishing his master’s degree this week, so I’ve been seeing some of this at a bit of a distance. The few times he’s surfaced from studying to look around lately he’s had a mildly panicked expression on his face.

Now he’s applying to medical schools. It’s a question of hitting a target that combines “Where can I get in?” with “What schools are good in the area where I want to specialize?” and “What school won’t leave me $80,000 in debt?”

For comic #3792... (https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3792)

1. Melon, no.

2. Also, *Honk.

3. Also also, is Melon wearing a tube-top?  Or just a shirt colored to her skin?

Based on the appearance of seams, it does indeed appear to be a tube top.

That was drain cleaner. Melon requested something stronger afterwards. This might violate certain chemical weapon treaties.

Anime - Ghost in the Shell - the original Anime, not the Hollywood adaptation - The actor selection was only slightly off putting but the plot massacre was pure Hollywood

I think that there is a metaphor for Bubbles entire life in this strip: It would be one of contemplative bliss, if it weren't for the loud and extrovert people who keep dropping in uninvited. Admittedly, one of those drop-ins ended up as her girlfriend but that's a rare win and think of how long it took Faye to graduate from 'annoying co-worker'!

Melon is just so wonderfully and unselfconsciously friendly (also, making comedy noises when suffering prat-falls seems to be just right for her). Unfortunately, she's also one of those people who don't know when they're becoming annoying!

Also also, is Melon wearing a tube-top?  Or just a shirt colored to her skin?

Yes, she's wearing a tube top. Indeed, she's also wearing cut-off shorts; she's wearing less in every appearance to the point where I wonder if Jeph is contemplating making her a Naturist!

I can't be the only one who is getting a little tired of Melon, can I?

I mean, at this stage, if this was a scripted comedy, the script for every other character could be meticulously planned out, and all Melon's directions would ever be is "And Melon does something wacky".

It just feels old and stale now.

She was nude from the waist down in her first appearance. And didn’t seem the slightest bit self-conscious about it.

Anything can be really. Color is rarely an indication of what a cleaner is, more often than not it's some sort of dye added to make it a color. I'm more concerned with the the fact that it's apparently filled to the lip, or is faintly glowing. And super concerned that Melon may take to mixing different chemicals. Some of which can turn to toxic gas or become acidic when combined.

Personally, I think that Emily is mixing Melon's left-overs into the big overnight Iced Tea barrel. No-one had told her not to and no-one has complained yet! :wink:

Meanwhile, it makes sense that Melon and Emily would connect on some level. I'm not sure that they have similar thinking processes but they have a similar fast-and-loose approach to reality that probably makes it easier for them to communicate with each other.

Finally, regarding Faye's facetious suggestion in panel 5... Just what is the chemical formula of the rubber rocket fuel that Virgin Galactic uses? Dora might be able to cut in on defence procurement here and that particular pot is bottomless!

Yep, at least in MA. Learned this a while ago when a side of white rice was given to us which we did not want. We told them to take it back since we didn't want it to be wasted, but they told us they would have to throw it out now anyway.

Not sure about Dora's ethics here either...

Law may be different regarding AIs handling food, since they don't seem to eat or drink the same things as humans (witness Roko getting drunk on software). Heck, it may even be a loophole.

I stopped going to one burger place when I returned a burger that had all the toppings I didn't order and none that I did. Counter person threw the burger away and put in a new order for me. Grill person asked for the old burger patty, was told it was in the trash, responded, "I could have used it to make chili!"

Also, iced tea (which I make and drink by the gallon at home) has got to be one of the biggest profit makers for restaurants, right up there with the various steakhouse fried-onion appetizers. Two bucks or more a glass for a nickel's worth of water and powder and (if you like it sweet) cornsyrup, even with free refills (US).

Dora pisses me off sometimes with her greed. She joked about cutting Brun’s leg off because Hanners gave Brun a clock that turned out to be worth money, now she’s violating health codes.

Also, iced tea (which I make and drink by the gallon at home) has got to be one of the biggest profit makers for restaurants, right up there with the various steakhouse fried-onion appetizers. Two bucks or more a glass for a nickel's worth of water and powder and (if you like it sweet) cornsyrup, even with free refills (US).
:-o
Powder?
Powder?
POWDER?!?!
 :-(
I just... I can't... AAARGH!
I’m right there with you. That crap made from powder is not iced tea. And corn syrup has no place anywhere near good sweet tea.

The best iced tea in the South (and therefore the world) is served at Elmo’s Diner in Durham, North Carolina, where it is properly brewed. Although I had a glass at a restaurant in Ocean Isle a couple of weeks ago that was competitive.

Eh, I think that gag is in "rule of funny" territory.

Everyone knows you can't re-serve anything that's crossed the counter, but hey, it was funny. No one actually gets dollar sign eyes either, but it's funny.

There's such a thing as over-analyzing, ya know...  :-D


As an aside, if something hasn't crossed the counter, it can often be re-used. Wendy's tosses timed-out burger patties into the fridge and uses them to make their chili. Perfectly safe and tasty.

Princess Leia cosplay.  CinnaBuns hair, long white dress & blaster ;) Of course Faye would rock as Han...

Faye as Han, OK. but maybe Bubbles as Chewbacca?

Too obvious.  Think different. Make Bubbles the General/Princess in charge rather than just another sidekick.

I don't sweeten tea. Sweetener is too often used to cover up the taste of bad tea.
The best iced tea I've ever had is Tejava. Nothing in there but tea. Not even a little citric acid, which seems to be a frequent additive to off-the-shelf "pure" iced tea.

Sweet Tea is an Abomination unto the Lord of the Leaf. If you have a proper black tea, brewed and served hot, that is the Way of Life. You may, if you wish, meddle and muddle your Tea with lemon, milk, honey or cane sugar,  but if you have a Quality Tea, properly brewed (see ISO Standard 3103), such contaminants are not necessary.

I drink lots of hot tea (black, green, white, and oolong) but I also make it by the pitcherful to drink cold. Either way, I use the same leaves (loose when I can, sachets when I must) and I take it uncontaminated.

I'm pretty sure it's a health code violation to serve drinks that have been previously served to other customers (even if they were not actually consumed or even touched).

Law may be different regarding AIs handling food, since they don't seem to eat or drink the same things as humans (witness Roko getting drunk on software). Heck, it may even be a loophole.

Probably.  And while the loophole may be closed up in the future might as well profit while it lasts.

I really, really want to know what prompted Dora's dad to say that to her. I'm sure that there is an interesting story (and possibly a half-sibling) out there! All that aside, I do think that this was specific advice from him to her relating to her attitude towards relationships and towards herself as it was at the time. She's skinny and pale enough that I suspect there was a bit of self-destructiveness in her behaviour back then that is implied in the older strips too.

What I really love about this strip is pre-Strip 500 witchy goth Dora rendered in the current art style. That's a treat for those of us who have read the early strips.

That said, yeah Faye knows her best lady friend well enough to know that she is changing the subject here.

And I've known couples that met in the workplace, had a relationship and had to be sent to different departments in different cities when they broke up.

I've worked in larger companies where they strictly forbid people having relationships with coworkers for that very reason.

Faye and Bubbles are two people in a startup. That's stressful enough as it is, but they don't even have the buffer of coworkers. Its going to be a tight line to walk.

Any of the arts professions can tend to be riddled with people with personality disorders. I've known quite a few characters when I did photography and graphic design—and they were usually coworkers (though don't start me on marketers). Some of the most talented folks were the most "colorful."

Technical professionals? Not so much. My coworkers seemed more mellow when I ended up in web. And from what I've seen Engineers have their own brand of crazy (I have a few in my family and married one), but it's a more subdued compared to the arts. Tech people tend more to be predictable than artists. Of course you run into jerks and weirdos (the bad kind) in any profession. Same goes with cool, amazing people, too.

Couples in the workplace (e.g. coworkers) is one thing, but starting a business together and then getting together is a whole other animal.

That said, there are plenty of couples who end up starting businesses together after they've been together for years, so there is no articular reason it couldn't work out.
A lot will likely depend on how quickly they can get Union Robotics going, since a lot of stress related to a (possibly failing) business usually doesn't do much good to the relationship.

There was a restaurant in town run by a very nice lesbian couple that my dad absolutely loved.  When he saw it was going out of business, he offered his sympathies and surprise to one of the owners - they seemed to be doing just fine.

"Oh, we were, from a business standpoint.  The thing is, we discovered that we can be a couple or we can be business partners but we can't be both, and we decided on being a couple."

I can see Faye and Bubbles realizing that they can't do both, talking it over, and either closing the business or making it Bubbles' thing while Faye gets back into art.  Opening their own separate shops would just make things worse, if they're both trying to do repairs, because as bad as it is being partners how would they handle being competitors?

I suspect that a certain girl may have bit off more than she can chew this time.

There could be a breach coming between Sam and Faye if Faye insists that Sam follow her rules. Either that or Bubbles will assert herself as the new Skullmaster (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3600) and Sam will obey. :-P

Here's a prediction: Swordsmary is a synthe-hipster but is actually remarkably conventional and middle of the road in most ways.

Yes, I am well aware of that, but taht's a separate issue. Your point is? It would still not be okay to resell previously sold (and more importantly, in some way by the customer consumed/sniffed/utilized) foods/beverages, and definitely not without letting your customers know that what they're consuming was previously sold to and sniffed by other customers (whether AI or human).

The point isn't being bothered by drinking something someone sniffed. Actually, an AI sniffing is more sanitary anyway. No boogers possibly falling into the tea, or little skin flakes. *shudder*

The point is that it's against MA law to resell tea that's already been sold, even if it was never consumed. It's against health codes or something.

Because once a food product leaves the control of the restaurant or whatever they have no idea what might have happened to it. That would include a robot sniffing it over in the corner. Malicious or accidental contaminants could be added. If they resold some of that tea and woops, some cleaning fluid was added and nobody noticed and someone got sick drinking it that's a big ol lawsuit and safety hazard. If for no other reason Dora should avoid it because it could utterly destroy her business.

Once money has changed hands, any foodstuff should be considered consumed and selling any leftovers is a massive no-no.

And an AI chassis is no more sanitary than a person. Consider this; Bubbles works in a machineshop - that involves machined particles, various fluids including industrial lubricants and other substances not fit for human consumption. Bubbles might wash her hands before leaving the workshop, but those particulates can be notoriously difficult to remove with just a handwash, largely due to them not being on the hands, they can get caught in the hair and so on.

It doesn't matter if all Bubbles or any other AI does with the tea is just sniff, it should be treated as contaiminated/consumed and therefore should not be resold.

What if, and of course what do I know, the AI's are just getting the leaves and the actual tea gets added to the iced. This will potentially solve all problems since the tea never leaves the businesses hands and the AI's get their aromatic responses.

It is definitely brewed tea. (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3147)

No, Hanners, you brewed it just right
