Woooo, Mari-chan really does pull off the waitress-maid look quite nicely!

And honestly, real Japanese girls aren't as cute as the ones portrayed in all the manga and anime mediums...

they're much cuter. ^_^

Blackjoker · « **Reply #101 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 01:43 »

I feel great pity for Marigold, and I don't know why but I suddenly imagine an interesting situation between Faye and Marigold. But I'm likely wrong.

themacnut · « **Reply #102 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 02:38 »

If Angus was able to read Marigold's thoughts just then and see her in that maid outfit, I'm sure he'd instantly fall in lust for her. As it stands though, he has NO idea she's crushing on him-he's still treating her as just his buddy and roommate. Yeah he's clueless, but so are many other guys when it comes to sensing women's feelings.

Especially when said women go out of their way to HIDE those feelings. So cut the dude a break, ok?

Great Googly Moogly! Didn't see that coming, no sir.

I mean, 'Master'?! And lookit that skirt! Them Japanese Mangar-things're corruptin' our youth!

Got to get me some 'o them…

Given that reaction we have a fellow fan of Twisted Kaiju Theater here.

In that outfit Marigold definitely meets Angus' criteria, if my wife wore that sort of outfit I see to reason to ever leave the house....

Not sure if Mar is laughing or crying - guess we'll find out when Jeph wants us to.

Also, I am really dreading the day when Angus inevitably stomps all over Marigold's heart because of his complete obliviousness. Such a thing would so traumatize Marigold, that she just me move up to space with Hanner's dad.

douggerel · « **Reply #112 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 05:59 »

The problem is Angus treats Marigold like she was a dude. Dudes don't typically worry about hurting other dudes' feeling, we just say whatever we think. And I think that, until recently, Marigold kinda was like a dude. So I cut him some slack; he's thoughtless, but not deliberately mean.

And I hope she's laughing in the last panel. Cuz the image was pretty redonkulous.

wargrafix · « **Reply #113 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 06:23 »

I have to admit the last panel confused the fuck out of me.

Tuitsuro · « **Reply #114 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 06:25 »

Here's the original reference, although people who haven't read Azumanga Daioh probably still won't get it.

Think of it as the type of reaction you might get after watching videos of kittens and puppies on youtube. Effectively, it's a sort of cuteness overload; like you've thought of an idea so sweeteningly cute you have an almost allergenic reaction to it.

(Incidentally, panel 3 was the tall girl's imagination.)

Bleh, the art has lost its originality and progressed to some generic anime style to the point that he didn't even need to change Marigold's face one bit to make her look all Animeish! Also, does anyone else notice that Tai and Faye have the exact same face with a slightly different skin tone and different hair styles?

Since random whiners appeared complaining that his old crappy inexpressive art was somehow better than the stuff where people look like people. It's what happens when cartoonists hit level 35.

I wonder if you could post a link to any anime/manga where the characters and art-style look like Jeph's please? As far as I can see, his characters, especially the female ones, lack the characteristic tiny mouths, big hair, gigantic eyes, and practically non-existant noses. Compare QC's females with MegaTokyo's to see what I mean. I suppose I'm asking: What characteristics define "generic anime style" to you?

Quote

Also, does anyone else notice that Tai and Faye have the exact same face with a slightly different skin tone and different hair styles?

Really? As far as I can see, Tai's jaw is consistently drawn with more of an angle under the ear, she's given a smaller, sharper chin, and her nose is generally drawn more "snub" with the tip turned up more sharply than Fay's. At the very least "exact same face" strikes me as a... um... significant exaggeration.

Is there any particular reason you feel we should suspect Jeph of insincerity?

I think we both know that's only a sign of an even more inflated ego.

EDIT: Perhaps I should explain. ACTUAL self-criticism is good. But Jeph's "oh god my art is teh suck HJNFHBDSGJ';//;;;" comments are just fishing for compliments.

Brilliant! Thank you, Akronnick.

Now, getting back to the topic at hand; I think I figured out the last panel. She's neither crying, not laughing - she's just so completely mortified by that image flouncing through her mind that she's dying of embarrassment, right there on the spot.

Think about it - she's a loner, yeah, but the girl fights dragons and runs raids - she's pretty independant, and I don't think that even she realized just how hard she was crushing on Angus until right there, at that very moment.

Poor kid - all she wants now is for the pavement to open up and swallow her whole - and there's Angus, asking "What's wrong?", like she could really tell him!

This has been another case file from the Carl Jung archives. Transmission over!
