Damn I'm so green of envy of Steve right now.

So ... insanely ... envious ... grr.

But its a great comic !

Quote from: evilbobthebob on 01 Dec 2009, 02:29

Cosette seems angry. And she seems to really really really want Steve.

Ooooh really ? How do you figure ?!?

Quote from: zagraf on 01 Dec 2009, 02:45

I'm tempted to yell "Run, Steve, run! Run from the crazy woman!" [...]

Dont worry, they're perfect for each other.

I wonder if they make asbestos condoms?

Maybe, but I would figure they arent very comfortable for neither the woman nor the man, though.

raoullefere · « **Reply #51 on:** 01 Dec 2009, 05:39 »

Well, it's good odds she doesn't have her ex-boyfriend living with her, and plans to dump Steve so they can marry and propagate. (Gadzooks, the thought of mimi-meenas and whosnames running around sends chills) I think Cosette is the perfect woman for our continuing amusement with Steve. Besides, obsessive is as obsessive does. I think.

yeah im guessing she hasnt had much luck in the love department and is pretty desperate.

Carl-E · « **Reply #55 on:** 01 Dec 2009, 07:39 »

She's probably injured all her past boyfriends through eagerness-induced accidents ...

Fortunately, Steve is made of ~~sterno~~ sterner stuff.

Ok, now I'm ... disgusted ? How can you possibly have such an idea ?

Desperate people dont fall down stairs because they like the looks of someone so much they loose track of what they're doing. Desperate people are NOT obsessed about somebody else. They are obsessed about their loneliness.

LeeC · « **Reply #57 on:** 01 Dec 2009, 08:10 »

disgusted? really? You know not all "desperate people" are obsessed with their loneliness. Although it does seem common amongst some people I dont think you have met everyone to make that kind of blanket statement. And besides its a web comic Jeph can present her how he likes.

all we know of her is that in the past she was mortified 3 times in the same day from asking someone out. We know nothing else about her and so based on her aggressiveness to go on a date with Steve (which seems really clingy), the fact that she is not letting anything stand in her way does show obsessiveness but could it not also be from her loneliness and she is perhaps desperate to get into a relationship? Especially with a hot guy?

Carl-E · « **Reply #58 on:** 01 Dec 2009, 09:09 »

I'm thinking it's really more along the lines of her bad luck streaks that we've seen. After the asking-Marten-out/wrath-of-Dora debacle, falling down the stairs (and at least two more times that we've seen) hardly seems out of character.

Accident prone and overeager are a fine comedic combination! I'm likin' the start of this arc...

Of course, a previous boyfriend may have gone up in flames, and that's why she's in the market now!

Oh, and Jeph, cervical collars come up a lot higher than that. 'Course then she couldn't turn her head, so maybe it really is just a padded choker...

LTK · « **Reply #59 on:** 01 Dec 2009, 09:20 »

Kakareen · « **Reply #60 on:** 01 Dec 2009, 10:09 »

I've been absent from here long enough possibly for you all to have forgotten me fully, having been focusing my attention elsewhere. I had the urge to post due to my pleasure from the news that QC has been good enough to Jeph that he has a house! That is simply fantastic.

Real life has a habit of bleeding into creative work. (In the cases of some artists, it damn well hemorrhages.) I wonder if any of the characters may start sniffing around for a house themselves.

....this girl is freaking me out. But maybe it's just 'been awhile' for her, and she's gotten a bit desperate.

When did everyone else bust out laughing? For me it was the "tunnel of light" comment that did it, but I think it should have been panel 3.

raoullefere · « **Reply #63 on:** 01 Dec 2009, 10:24 »

Yes, a bit. As in, going out to dinner rather than back to her room now, not furiously humping Steve's leg, and staying dressed.

Personally, I see her as determined more than desperate. She's decided on what she wants, and is going out and getting it.

someone1074 · « **Reply #64 on:** 01 Dec 2009, 10:44 »

Self-immolating death stares utilized for comedic effect aside, she seems a little over-assertive at worst.

This should bode reasonably well for Steve.

For me, the lols came at the three panel sequence. Well done, Jeph.

Heliphyneau · « **Reply #65 on:** 01 Dec 2009, 11:36 »

Ha! OK, this is gonna be a fun arc.

I'm not at all worried about Steve -- he has absurdly good luck to balance (heh) Cosette's absurdly bad luck, and there's plenty of funny to mine in all that.

I am somewhat concerned about the abusive friendship thing between Cosette and Luna, though. Maybe Luna's overprotective -- hard not to get that way with a friend as accident-prone as Cosette seems to be -- but Cosette physically and verbally and . . . non-verbally attacking her is sorta extreme without context. I'm sure we'll be getting more context at some point, though, so that'll be interesting to read. As it stands, Luna is pretty much the Marten in their relationship.

Had to look that one up before I knew what you were talking about (: If you're asking if I quoted from there, the answer is no. The majority of the staff at my clinic are Twilight geeks and I've been jokingly saying that for months, as before Twilight they were all Potterheads. I threatened to wait outside the theater holding said sign (:

100% agreed.

I really dont know where this stupid "she's desperate" idea comes from.

There is simply no evidence to support it.

She definitely simply liked what she saw when she got the picture of Steve.

LeeC · « **Reply #82 on:** 01 Dec 2009, 23:35 »

haha I meant desperate loosely, not in the context of relationship or needing someone desperate, but that she is desperate to get something started with Steve. I think I may have phrased that wrong earlier.

I know a very, very attractive female archaeologist. Unfortunately she's not my type of woman. But she's a very gorgeous target for photographs (I like photographing people).

I loved Harry Potter, but after enduring the first three pages of Twilight, I escaped in utter disgust. Seriously, I had no idea you could describe a character in such extremely unsympathic ways that the reader intensely hates it after a mere three pages.
