Hmm.

Are there actually people who run around in starfleet uniforms ?

I mean, in reallife ? Outside of carnival ?

And even worse, in SCHOOL ?!

How about on a JURY?

Can someone help me out here?

I'm not trying to criticize Jeph, I just want to know why I'm not seeing a comic at the times the newspost says it should have been posted.

Again, this is not a browser cache issue.

Not to be rude, but I was up until 2am (EST) last night and in my time zone, Monday's comic wasn't up. Yet "May 25, 2009 11:14pm" is what the newspost at the bottom reads. There's four reasons I can think of for this happening, because it's not a browser cache issue.

(1) he's in a different time zone. If so, which one?
(2) he posts the newspost well before the comic. If so, whatever.
(3) his clocks are all horribly wrong. If so, someone please tell him before he misses a dental appointment or something! 
(4) he's shifting the post times, to put it kindly. If so, why? Just post the real times.

I realize that it really doesn't matter so much, because I can just check it the next morning, but I could've sworn Jeph was an east coaster like myself...

Just trying to figure out around what time us nightowls should start checking for the new QC.

[UTAlan]

I bet that, instead of being a new character who may or may not become a part of the cast, the owner is in fact Angus. Or then it's Raven. She seems like one who'd have a cute AnthroPC with vaginal eels.

Probably a new character:

It'll also push some other story elements forward and maybe introduce a new character! :3

My sister-in-law has a Star Trek uniform she wears on occasion.

[Dickbutt]

Could this be the long awaited death of Pintsize?

[Thaes]

The owner is female, check yesterday's comic.
But she's "very knowledgeable about AnthroPCs", i.e. high tech computer stuff. Raven puts sticky tape on cupcakes and "invented" the submacopter. Doesn't quite fit. Does not compute.

Note to self: read things before coming up with theories.

The timestamp on the news post probably goes by the server's local time.

[pwhodges]

Could this be the long awaited death of Pintsize?

Well, last time he needed sorting out, it was revealed that Marten didn't have a backup.  I wonder if he's learnt his lesson?

[LTK]

What is Pintsize going to be like now???

A helpful little chore robot who is happy to keep you company while collecting the best desktop images for you from the internet, instead of pictures generally classified as NSFL?

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US PINTSIZE!

[Shok Xone Studios]

Jeph's latest tweet suggests the ChibiAnthro's owner is someone he hasn't drawn before, so there goes the VespaVenger theory. All for the better, after some reflection.

[Kugai]

Utena and Anthy have just moved in

[Juniper Jade]

New character, Marigold, (love the name btw) knows Angus? This could be interesting.

[Deadrocks]

Yes, I like this new character.

[Shok Xone Studios]

Well now. An extreme OCD sufferer living in the same building as what appears to be an unapologetic slob.

The confrontation will be epic.

[cory54321]

New character, Marigold, (love the name btw) knows Angus? This could be interesting.

I wonder how she knows Angus. Maybe they're related? Idk...

[kraemandrummer]

Wow
Marigold is almost a /b/tard by definition...

except there are no females on /b/..........
I was kinda hoping to see an interesting plot device come out of this new character, but not by the looks of it.

[chronoplasm]

Well now. An extreme OCD sufferer living in the same building as what appears to be an unapologetic slob.

Hanners+Marigold

Hannagold?

[oyf]

Holy crap. Jeph has met and been in my cousin Heather's room. That is Heather. That is her room from the pocky and ramen cups to the Inu yasha posters and dirty dishes. Even the RAID excuse. . . If Angus turns out to be her cousin. . . Then Jeph's been spying on me and my family and i want royalties dammit.

[satsugaikaze]

Wait what where was Momo-tan in the last frame

POCKY, the most epic food, FTW

[Kugai]

She

Knows

Angus???!


Holy crap!  Coincidence, raiseth thy head.



Marigold.   I like her already   

And Hanners is gonna have an apoplectic fit when she finally sees Marigold's apartment.

[Deadrocks]

That's just her one room. I wonder what everything else looks like...

[raoullefere]

Oy. Not exactly neat. Oh well, anyone who's an Inuyasha fan can't be all bad.

Interesting to see the Dog-demon, Jacques-style.

[JRave]

Something dawned on me.. when I read the Angus and Raid comments in #1413. 

Comic #1363.  He's pretty clear on the NO in response to World of Warcraft if you ask me.
She also has kinda of a "witch" look going with her hair like that..

But thats just me, back to lurking.

[BarGamer]

What's wrong with her room? Except for the Inuyasha poster, the rats, and the flies, it looks like MY room. (Also, I play Guild Wars, not WoW.)

[Aegir]

Wow, Marigold's apartment looks just like the bedroom I had in college.

[Evil_Lathander]

HAH, at least my prediction was half true. It's a hikikimori but not truely fat.

And female.



I FULLY EXPECT LESBIAN SEX BETWEEN HANNERS AND MARIGOLD

[braindead]

am i the only one who thinks some1 in this pic needs a new color scheme?

[themacnut]

I FULLY EXPECT LESBIAN SEX BETWEEN HANNERS AND MARIGOLD

If it happens, it won't be in Marigold's apartment, that's for sure. Just standing in the doorway would probably make Hanners catatonic.

[Juniper Jade]

I wonder how she knows Angus. Maybe they're related? Idk...

I thought about them being related but then I thought, what if she's the ex girlfriend that didn't like him going to Coffee of Doom? I think them being related is more plausible though.

[UmberGryphon]

OK, 99% of the time I understand the titles of the strips, and when I don't, I can usually figure it out.  But 1413's title is "YAOI ZONE".  My internal definition of "Yaoi" is "art that depicts male homosexual acts".  Marigold likes to read/view such things?  I suppose it wouldn't be too odd, plenty of males like to read/view art that depicts lesbians....

UmberGryphon

[Leviant]

so... does YAOI mean Marigold is a dude?

with the eel and everything else, it kinda fits the fetish.

could be a plot twist.

[Siibillam-Law]

So far I'm liking this new character. A one-off or here to stay?

[Manix]

My friend, 90% of all known followers of Yaoi-style entertainment are female. Marigold is definitely female.

[Siibillam-Law]

The breasts are a bit of a giveaway

[Jeff7]

I do believe I rather like this new character. 
There's something mildly familiar about her. Hmm.

(Ok, so I don't play WoW, and I don't have empty food containers and random junk....everywhere.)

THE ANTI-HANNELORE COMETH

[chronoplasm]

Maybe he just has gynecomastia? Maybe he escaped from a penal colony for men with Klinefelter's syndrome?

Oh, and except for the food containers and the anime crap (replace it with pretentious art crap and Dungeons & Dragons stuff) that pretty much looks like my room as well.

[no one special]

Maybe it's a different Angus.  Just saying.

[Thaes]

I love Marigold's hair.

[chronoplasm]

I love Marigold's hair.

I love Marigold's acne.

Remember kids: You can't spell pimple without pimp.

[Border Reiver]

I've known people with rooms that nasty - some basic cleanliness does help social skills.

There's only one way to  clean that apartment - take off and nuke it from orbit - it's the only way to be sure.

[akronnick]

THE ANTI-HANNELORE COMETH

I really hope they don't meet--a matter/anti-matter annihilation event of that magnitude would take out most of the Eastern Seaboard, if not the Northern Hemisphere! The Earth would be like the Klingon moon Praxis in Star Trek VI!

Fandom. Look it up.

You know how xkcd readers have "Randall, get out of my head!" moments? This was my "Jeph, get out of my flat!" moment. Except I'm not an Inu Yasha fan.

[Blayze]

THE ANTI-HANNELORE COMETH

BEHOLD, TIS HANNEROK.

[LTK]

Wow, that was anticlimactic. Marigold is exactly like I didn't think momo-tan's owner would look like. Whoopee, she has a name now!

"Pet rat?" xD

Hey look, new QC tweets.

If they ever find out, that is. Penny hasn't said a word since the Specialsaurus came off the blackboard. Maybe she's been going through her yearbook photos like Dora has, and is now cowering in a corner somewhere while her surpressed memories are coming back.

That v-hand looks pretty weird, though. Like it's permanently stuck in that gesture.

Just found the Star Trek uniform my mom made me in my closet. Mixed feelings of nostalgia/crushing embarassment.

I knnnnnnnnnew it!

I think that no one is answering you, because no one KNOWS.

Also, if Jeph simply uses Marigold as an opportunity to make fun of creepy cosplayers he meets at comic/anime conventions ... I'm going to be kind of disappointed. (NOTE: Not mad! Disappointed.) It's okay for him to make fun of skinny indie kids because he is one, but Jeph, are you sure you understand what type of dorkdom you're delving into here? For example, I don't think I know anyone who's into both Guild Wars and Inuyasha. I'm sure that person exists, BUT. I'm just pointing out that this looks like a smattering of random fandoms ("I've heard dorks talk about this!" "And also, this!"), not a comprehensive character. Hopefully you know someone like this and you're basing Marigold on him/her, otherwise ... this looks really random, plus titling it Yaoi Zone when there's CLEARLY no Yaoi in either the comic or Marigold's room ... it's very 'Hai gaiz Im going to try my hand at a funy stereotyep~ get it bcz anime/gamer/cosplayer?/I don't even KNOW nerds are LAEM"

In conclusion, I kind of hope Marigold goes away. They say to write what you know.

[[[[Or maybe her boyfriend walks in and takes down the guild wars poster and Marigold suddenly puts on the cat ears and Kagome cosplay and screams "OMFG I MEANT A RAID OF KAWAAAIIIII"]]]

First, take a glance at what Marigold's shirt reads. Might clear up why it's the title, might not.

As for why the girls like it, my experience has been one of two reasons. The one I have seen more often is the pairing up of two very "pretty" boys, called bishounen, in a very loving relationship, which I interpret as two characters that said girl could be attracted to in an idealized, if sometimes screwed up relationship.

Then there's the girls who just like to see two guys get it on.

[maddness]

What's wrong with her room? Except for the Inuyasha poster, the rats, and the flies, it looks like MY room. (Also, I play Guild Wars, not WoW.)

When I was single, that was soooooo my room. My desk still looks like hers, something The Man is always giving me a hard time about. I used to play GW, but I hated that the only time you had contact with other players was in town, unless you were partied before you left. On WoW I can group up with random folk out in the field whenever it's mutually beneficial. Plus I love the whole job thing.

Also ... I think I love you ... you know ... in a non-personal internet sort of way.
