This comic failed to find relevance in the foregoing WCT discussion, unlike the previous couple. It did not, however, fail to make me laugh, which is basically why I read it and I don't know why the hell I sound like I'm criticizing it YAY LOLS.

I was thinking about how many different mugs with print there are in QC after getting the latest 'fuck you' from Sven's mug, but there actually haven't been any of those since 1270. Do they out stickers on them or do they get printed like that?

Might be a bit off topic... but... Did Barry get elected in the QC universe?
i mean with that time jump thing we probably skipped over November, and there's really no mention of Politics that I remember...

Ohh well, off to Washington.
haven't heard Obama called Barry, that's.... interesting?

Here is the classic example of separate timelines, when it's indie rock, time is current to our universe.  But everything else stays the same.  Politics was never placed into either timeline, so we could very well be seeing the Bush re-election in the coming years (the comic started in 2003, remember?).

I wonder when Miranda Lambert is coming with another album.  She's the only current country singer I like if you don't count alt-country (Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams).

Is opening an airlock really the best method for execution?

I mean, how can you be sure the person dies? There's no verification.

Yeah, the odds are low, but there are several instances in sci-fi where people survive airlock ejection.

If I'm ever on a starship and there's an enemy I have to dispatch, laser pistol to the head, followed by examination to confirm death, followed by airlock defenestration.

Just sayin'

the human body cant withstand the vacuum of space. 3 reasons:

So very, very wrong.

1. Space has no temperature. There's no air to carry heat away from your body. You'd only lose the little bit your body radiates.

3. One atmosphere of pressure difference is not drastic. The various tissues in the body hold up quite well in vacuum. Your eyes would dry out, but they wouldn't burst (at least not before you die of other causes).

2. No air means you'd suffocate. You'd have...oh, three to five minutes before you die.

If the decompressee is not human, who knows how long they could survive.

fine we'll send you out into space with an airtank and see how long you last. im guessing instant death but if you dont think then so lets try it

Oh you'd die, but it wouldn't be instant. Pressure can do real damage to the human body, but it takes time. this gives the victim a chance, however unlikely that they would be able to survive.

Actually, the temperature in space is approimately 2-3 degrees kelvan, or 2-3 degrees above absolute 0 (that's around 270 below 0 Celsius).  Of course, even this doesn't exist in a vacuum (pun intended).  We also have to consider the effects of solar radiation.

The pressure is 1.322 × 10^-11 Pa, which is essentially 0.

The temperature in the sunlight is 120°C, which is higher than the boiling point of water. In the shade the temperature is about -100°C, way below the freezing point of water. The body tissue (skin, heart, other internal organs) would expand because of the boiling fluids. However, they would not "explode"as depicted in some science fiction movies, such as "Total Recall". Death would occur within one minute.

Here's an article I found:

The question is, what happens to the human body in a vacuum?
No, the body won't blow up. Your blood won't boil, either.
There are a number of things about being in space, in a vacuum, which could cause harm to the human body. You wouldn't want to hold your breath. This would cause lung damage. You would probably remain conscious for several seconds, until the blood without oxygen reaches your brain.

It would be pretty darn cold, but the human body doesn't lose heat that fast, so you'd have a little time before you froze to death. It's possible you could have some problems with your eardrums, including a rupture, but maybe not. It would be worse if you had a cold, and were stuffy headed, with no way for the pressure to equalize.

You could get a bad sunburn, and you might actually swell some, but not to Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Total Recall" proportions. The "bends" are also possible, just like a diver who surfaces too quickly.

While your own normal blood pressure will keep your blood from boiling, the saliva in your mouth could very well begin to do so. In 1965, while performing tests at the NASA facility now known as Johnson Space Center a subject was accidentally exposed to a near vacuum (less than 1 psi) when his space suit leaked while in a vacuum chamber. He did not pass out for about 14 seconds, by which time unoxygenated blood had reached his brain. Technicians began to repressurize the chamber within 15 seconds and he regained consciousness at around the equivalent of 15,000 feet of altitude. He later said that his last conscious memory was of the water on his tongue beginning to boil.

The human body is amazingly resilient. The worst problem would be lack of oxygen, not lack of pressure in the vacuum. If returned to a normal atmosphere fairly quickly, you would survive with few if any irreversible injuries.

There have actually been cases of parts of astronauts bodies being exposed to vacuum, when suits were damaged. The results were negligible.


To be away from the effects of solar radiation, you'd have to be pretty far away from the sun; certainly much further than humans are capable of at present.

1. temperatures near absolute 0

2. no breathable air

3. such a drastic differance between pressure inside the body and outside in the vacuum

basically instant death

Nope.

1. The temperature doesnt matter, since vaccum is the perfect isolation, meaning the body temperature itself will not lower very fast at all. In fact, the main problem is quite the opposite: thanks to the radiation from the sun the temperature of the body will *increase*. Compare the conditions on the moon, which has no atmosphere to speak of and therefore has between -150 and +150 degree celsius temperature, for night and day, respectively.

2. Thats a problem, yes, but its not *instant* death. You got 3 minutes, basically. See also the next paragraph, though.

3. Thats the only real issue which could cause instant death, except it doesnt. The body wont explode, it will just expand like a balloon. But the skin etc are strong enough to still keep the body together, despite the inner pressure. The main issue, in fact, will be loss of oxygen and water from the blood through the lungs, as they will fast evaporate into the vaccum.

All in all, you can survive for a short time in the vaccum of outer space. The 30 seconds estimate of Douglas Adams in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a good guess.

Ditto.

Maybe a plot with Sven and this mysterious country singer in the pipeline? Or Lydia moving in on her mentor?

Anyway, pretty cool strip today.

Although why the fuck is Dora carrying a sword? I mean I thought it wasn't Coffee of Doom with 'Doom' in the medieval whup-ass sense...

I had the same question.  And is the CoD the best place for a duel? 

And on a practical note, iwhy is Faye using a padded weapon while Dora has an actual blade?  I'm not certain that that is an acceptable way to discipline an employee.

And now the Dora/Faye S&M fetishists are in full masturbatory frenzy, damn.

In an earlier strip when Hannelore's mom came to visit, didn't Hanners use the shower in a hotel room? (I'm too lazy to look up the strip number, but I seem to remember something about a different pipe bursting and individually-wrapped soaps...) Wouldn't that be even worse than using a shower in someone's house / apartment?

In an earlier strip when Hannelore's mom came to visit, didn't Hanners use the shower in a hotel room? (I'm too lazy to look up the strip number, but I seem to remember something about a different pipe bursting and individually-wrapped soaps...) Wouldn't that be even worse than using a shower in someone's house / apartment?

Well, at most hotels they come by and wash the bathroom every day. Who knows how often someone washes their own?

That's great news. All Faye has to do now is to testify as an eye-witness about those past events and thus Dora will demand Hannelore to explain herself. By the laws of logic and the consequences graphically displayed by Brian Clevinger, Hannelore should go 'FOOM'.

Otherwise we could just start to make characters disappear and blame bipedal carnivorous dinosaurs... come ooon.

And didn't Hanners use the shower in Marten and Faye's while she was living with them? Back when she was finding the problem in all those papers her mom sent?

Maybe, but not after thoroughly cleaning/disinfecting/etc it.

Yeah, I know, but surely she could disinfect Dora's, then, too?

I think Faye just hit the hipster singularity with her Fever Ray tee. It has to be the first one in existence.

I also say yay for the worry hat. I'm glad someone did the research on the sword, I was going to ask. Since we don't see the other end of it, I'm assuming that is the battle spatula Faye is holding. Poor Hanners is sick and on any number of meds, so inconsistencies with her memory might not be unexpected, but we can easily assume that she does not use other people's showers anymore.

If the time jump had not been pointed out to me I wouldn't have noticed. I just assumed that Dora had washed out some of the dye or re-dyed it or something. I know it's longer than it was, but I chalked that up to artistic license or her just having had it tucked back or something.

Oooo...could this be the first sighting of the infamous Malaysian Battle Spatula?  It never crossed my mind until you mentioned it but it's quite possible.  I can see why Dora would need the sword.

To many jokes in one strip. From "Foof" to the title.
