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?

Oh god you just described me perfectly. I'm pretty dense when it comes to women, and I know for a fact that that denseness has cost me more than a few potential relationships

Girls, some guys just need to be told flat out. It's the 21st century, it's Ok to do that.

But you're not doing anyone any good by commenting, and many of us enjoy Jeph's art style. It seems like you're stirring up argument just for the hell of it.
Yeah, trolling the QC forums, there's a profitable activity. Why offer your honest opinion when you can just rile up people you don't know?

That's what I'm wondering!

Carl-E · « **Reply #157 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 19:11 »

OK, here's the thing - Jeph's art was looking anime-ish, and he's worked hard to make it more naturalistic. But that maid outfit is what Marigold sees in her mid's eye - a mind that's been fed a steady diet of anime, manga, yaoi, and if I remember correctly, a large download of Pintsize's hentai directory.

What I'm saying is, the anime-ishness of that one panel is appropriate, and really very well done! But it's not the comic's style anymore (really, it never was that far gone anyway).

Personaly, I'm looking forward to the 3-D renderings...

Quote from: Carl-E on 03 Mar 2010, 15:32

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!

I agree with your assessment -- poor Mari-bear is about to die of embarrassment from something she thought but didn't even say! She's gonna maybe have some trouble looking Angus in the eye for a few minutes at least.

And I still detect no malice from Angus. He's clueless, for sure, but not hateful. He's gonna have a major facepalm moment when he realizes (one day) that his roomie's been crushing on him, but I somehow suspect he won't figure it out until she's either over him, and/or he's started dating (Faye, possibly?), and/or a meteorite is inbound and fiery impact is imminent.

jwhouk · « **Reply #163 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 21:35 »

I believe, if Mieville could talk, he'd probably say something like, "But you're so warm!"

Heliphyneau · « **Reply #164 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 21:37 »

Bahaha! I <3 Winslow. ^_^ Interesting that he'd have something in common with Faye, indeed. Panel 5 was . . . potentially disturbing.

Queue the 'sit-on-my-face' quips, I guess.

Kugai · « **Reply #166 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 21:41 »

My thoughts exactly Heliphynea.

Pintsize needs R2 at this point to get Mieville off Winslow.

As for Marigold, she's either gonna hurl or scream.

I second all of this, with the exception of that miserable nickname. I will add, however, that Marigold probably believes Angus has a reasonable chance of seeing what she's thinking. As if. Embarrassed, possibly. The immediate thought she's embarrassed about? I defy even the Amazing Kreskin to work that one out.*

A cat would cheerfully smother its owner for a warm spot to nap on, as at least one cat owner I know can attest. I don't envy Hanners the job of getting the hair out of Winslow's intakes.

*But if he could—"Hmm, you're embarrassed, possibly because of romantic yearnings and you—holy… pause So, what are you doing after the show? Care to serve, er, share a cup?"

Its pretty much the defining quality of any original artist. Dont hear what all the idiots around are having for ideas. Instead, have your OWN ideas.

Yeah but its the official Garfield site. How did they manage to screw it up so badly lol.

akronnick · « **Reply #178 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 01:36 »

It's the Official Garfield Site, I think that answers the question, And I'm pretty sure it's intentional.

It's the same reason that Dead Tree Newspaper websites always suck major ass.

I think that the Dead Tree Syndication industry believes that if they make their websites suck, people will believe that websites will always suck.

It's either the worst audience retention strategy ever, or the biggest case of denial since Lee waited until two years after Gettysburg to surrender.

Wouldn't "not beng able to get up on their own" be a major design defect in an AnthroPC? Im sure Pintsie and Momo can!

akronnick · « **Reply #181 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 04:16 »

Winslow probably can right himself without problem under normal circumstances, however, when there is a vicious predator that weighs 4 or 5 times your weight using you as a nappy-time mat, returning to a vertical orientation becomes, shall we say, problematic.

IlGreven · « **Reply #182 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 04:16 »

See, Winslow, "evil" and "kitty" are not at all mutually exclusive. You just had to learn that the hard way, I guess.

Depends if any of the design docs included the phrase "whilst being used as a cat-bed" really, doesn't it?
Pretty sure Winslow has demonstrated the ability to self-right before, just not when weighed down...

Border Reiver · « **Reply #185 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 04:30 »

Doesn't matter at this point - the cat's in sleep mode, but how big is winslow if a full grown cat can use him as a mattress?

Meiville will probably get up in a couple of minutes - even if he's warm, he's still not a floofy pillow or someone's chest.

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #186 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 04:34 »

Maybe a little bigger than an iPad?

Also, you sure you didn't mean "someone's head" there?
