Wonder how far in the future we will be Monday?

Wonder what's the longest span between Jeph's tweets?

Don't you mean March 65-69?

(Or perhaps April 34-38)

((Or September 5725-5729*))

two years from now, someone will be browsing through old WCT threads looking for fan reaction to [insert next major QC story event here after the fact] and they'll come to the last few weeks and go WT'L?

I was strolling through the park one day
In the very merry month of March

Ai. I've enough trouble recalling what day it is without looking at a calender. Now I'm going to be looking at the wrong month, too.
Thanks, bunches.

Whazzat? No, I don't do anything other than lurk in the forums.

Yeeeeeeeeeees! QC just gets better and better every effing weekday. Too bad Jeph is human. If he were a robot he could perpetually make comics and never get tired and none of us would have to feel bad for exploiting him because hey, he's just a robot. Robots are made to work.

@ecstaticjoy: Robots have shorter lifespans than humans, right now, though. At most 10-15 years, I think. After that time, the condensers etc get out of order.

I think she just stopped drinking scotch straight from the bottle at work/at home/any time she felt the slightest bit depressed. You know, the "dangerous habit" part, not the "fun social grease" part.

What's intriguing is not so much the bikini part  as 'overwhelmed' combined with 'bikini.' How overwhelmed? As in 'struggling valiantly,' or 'total wardrobe malfunction'? Precision is important, after all.

I guess we might get an idea if Marten emerges in tomorrow's strip still in a state of shock.

No, she's merely thinking that to the universe in general. You simply happen to be in it. It is the best part of the strip, though.

I've seen sharking vids (or so they claimed). I thought it just meant yanking the girl's panties down, or her pants/skirt, or getting her shirt, or unfastening her bra, then running like hell.

But it is the Japanese. I suppose bodily fluids must have a role somewhere

Hopefully there's no part of sharking that involves recreating the "Smile, you son-of-a('SPLOSION)!" part.

EDIT: On second thought, that might not be so bad.
