Welcome Marigold Farmer (!) to twitter.

Ustream starting soon.

No, get it, "gold farmer" ? It's like tai_fighter

So Faye was overcoming fears when she was so assertive-seeming during the introduction scene in strip number 4? Interesting, and it makes sense. She still seems to have trouble. Someone (remind me who so I can give proper credit) pointed out that in the scene where we saw her cell phone's contact list there were precious few entries in it.

Yay for Assertive But Not Channeling Her Mom Hannelore!

Hanners looks so happy in the first cell. Everyones favorite OCD girls sure has come a long way since Marten encountered her in the bathroom of that bar: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=515

I love Marten's line in the last panel.

Poor dude is probably unlucky enough for it to happen, too.

The girl after Marigold is who he should be worrying about.

Right, except its not an arm, even if its also a three letter word and also starts with an "a".

Really guys? I'd figure that she would just grab his dick/penis/insert slang here. No need to beat around the bush.

No, Marten, she's going to make you watch all the uncensored yaoi with her, after which you'll start gouging out your eyes because THEY'RE BURNING.

Oh wait, you're the son of Veronica Vance. You'll live.

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #13 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 04:33 »

Maybe she's a Veronica Vance fangirl? I mean, Dora knowing she's into girls because of his mom is one thing, but Marten'd probably self-immolate if Marigold asked him to get her an autograph...

nichidani · « **Reply #14 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 06:13 »

man, hannelore is so cute in this one. it just makes my head wanna pop.

i dunno if it's just me, but marten looks like he is gaining weight lately. not in a bad way, but the past few strips he looks a bit less lanky.

akronnick · « **Reply #15 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 06:26 »

That has a tendency to happen to dudes in their mid twenties.

(also Jeph's art keeps changing (nearly exclusively for the better (nested parenthesis RAWK!)) so it's probably a symptom of artistic improvement)

Border Reiver · « **Reply #16 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 06:41 »

Faye bullied her way in, Hanners stalked, Marigold fixed Pintsize, the next one will buy him a nice suit or set him up with a better job.

akronnick · « **Reply #17 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 06:48 »

Set him up with a better job would be Natasha and/or Tai.

^ This bothers me too, but clearly we all know who they mean, and it's a common mistake. Can we just let this kind of thing go?

Juniper Jade · « **Reply #21 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 10:00 »

Okay, this was a cute strip. I just knew Hanners and Marigold would become bffs and it's cute how she's worried over her, making sure Faye is nice to her and all.

Also, poor Marten. I have a feeling he likes the abuse though. Maybe he's more like his mother than he ever thought. :O

I've noticed that too. I kind of like more buff Marten, but it doesn't work well with all the scrawny indie boy jokes. But it probably is just Jeph and him improving his art.

nichidani · « **Reply #22 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 10:03 »

i, too, have a feeling that it's kind of like how faye gets curvier and curvier as jeph's art improves. and didn't someone bring up in a previous threat that dora was getting a little less skin-and-bones in comics as of late?

Juniper Jade · « **Reply #23 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 10:18 »

Oh yeah you're right, people have been mentioning that lately. So yeah, for sure is art style changing then.

Kazukagii · « **Reply #24 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 10:27 »

It was nice to see Hanner's happy like that. And Faye, agreeing not to sass somebody who is easily sassed? I'm looking forward to that.

*Puts 10 bucks down* I bet by the end of the night, Marten has at least one knife wound.

LeeC · « **Reply #25 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 15:10 »

I dunno i think he is trying to make Marten more mannish than boyish. But it is cute that Hanners is protecting her new friend.

The Duke · « **Reply #26 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 16:23 »

I'm no shipper, but she seemed a little overprotective...

Thoughts?

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #27 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 16:28 »

Maybe Marten's been working out. He was doing situps already, maybe Faye inspired him or Dora encouraged him to add pushups as well.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #28 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 16:30 »

I read it as Hanners being empathetic, and also not wanting her new friend to be driven away.

The Duke · « **Reply #29 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 17:32 »

You're probably right.

All this talk of Hannigold has me in a skewed frame of mind.

akronnick · « **Reply #30 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 18:57 »

It's probably a good thing that Hanners and Marigold are so socially inept. If they didn't have their crippling anxieties they'd be truly dangerous, especially teamed together.

Lyrical · « **Reply #31 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 20:35 »

Hanners is pretty fierce when she gets riled up! I'm glad she set Faye straight ahead of time. I don't think that Marigold could deal well with her *SCORN* like she did to Angus.

Shok Xone Studios · « **Reply #32 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 21:46 »

Ooh, a throwback punch! I hope the warmth of nostalgia holds fast while Marten's getting his jaw fixed.

Kugai · « **Reply #33 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 22:10 »

Ooooh Mother Hen Hanners. She's so cute like that.

I think Faye should start a 'Punch Marten In The Arm' day for herself just for nostalgia's sake

Juniper Jade · « **Reply #34 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 22:36 »

I agree with Faye, her physical attacks on Marten really do bring up some great memories.

NeverQuiteGoth · « **Reply #35 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 23:29 »

Hah! Faye just got BURRRRRRRRNED. Is that the ballsiest thing Marten has ever said to Faye?

snubnose · « **Reply #36 on:** 03 Aug 2009, 23:52 »

Grr Faye doesnt suck grrr.

Even if I liked pre-Sven Faye a LOT more than current Faye.

Nah man, Marten's grabbed her ass before. Although I guess that doesn't fall under ballsiest thing SAID to but, it's still pretty ballsy.

"Let's go bang" took some nerve even as a joke.

Yeah, I think that takes the cake for ballsiest Marten quote. This ranks up there though.

How long HAS it been since Faye last punched Marten? I'm too lazy to look back in the strips...

akronnick · « **Reply #40 on:** 04 Aug 2009, 04:37 »

I'm pretty sure it was before "The Talk" but it was almost certainly before He and Dora started dating.

nichidani · « **Reply #41 on:** 04 Aug 2009, 05:10 »

wow, now that i think about it, it HAS been quite a long time since she's physically abused him.

he was way overdue.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #42 on:** 04 Aug 2009, 05:17 »

And if Marten was going to break the fourth wall, he could have mentioned that the author would still be in his previous job, having the soul leeched from him just a little more each day.

nichidani · « **Reply #43 on:** 04 Aug 2009, 06:51 »

its been mentioned somewhere (i'm not sure where, or even if it was actually mentioned!) that jeph has no desire to break the fourth wall.

Aegir · « **Reply #44 on:** 04 Aug 2009, 09:38 »

Good. I hate comics that break the fourth wall. You know a comic is going to be bad if the first strip is like "So, we're two guys sitting on a couch, no one will want to read this."

JD · « **Reply #45 on:** 04 Aug 2009, 10:28 »

Spontaneous Interlude is as close as you're going to get to 4th wall breaking

evilbobthebob · « **Reply #46 on:** 04 Aug 2009, 10:32 »

Well, yeah. Yelling Bird breaks the 4th wall all the time, as did the turkeys. More on topic: Marten is going to get punched

Especially when it spends the next few years not making any jokes.

Marten has been pretty amusing recently.
I think he's going to earn his stab in the face.

LeeC · « **Reply #48 on:** 04 Aug 2009, 15:11 »

Marigold goes out with the group, meets some dude we havnt seen in a long time and hits it off (Amir?) and the new drama occurs. Or she gets intimate with Tai.

bhtooefr · « **Reply #49 on:** 04 Aug 2009, 15:34 »

Continuity error, that noticing means I probably need to get out more.

A LOT more.

http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=9

He went to CoD, and #10 implies that he went there several times before #4, where Faye introduced herself. He still would have met Dora, but then again, he probably wouldn't have gone out with her.
