It's back to work after a March Break with the kids and a basement to paint. So here you go.

What colors did you paint the kids?

vettechinohio · « **Reply #2 on:** 21 Mar 2010, 22:17 »

I hope you didn't paint them pastel colors. Screw Easter, I effing HATE pastels!

Whether I concur with Marigold depends on the proof.

80 proof: Oh come on.

150 proof (it exists): freakin understandable.

EDIT: ohwait, just saw the newspost. 136? Yeah, ok, that's harsh.

You really do have to give Marigirl some credit; shut in as she is, she is making a genuine effort to expand her horizons.

I do gotta agree with Faye though, it is pretty entertaining; Mari's facial expressions pretty much matched my reaction when I took my first ever shot of everclear.

Voted "Something else" because there was no option for HAWT DRUNKEN THREESOME WUT. (aka "does something with Angus AND Marigold that "we must never speak of again"")

Yeah, I think the odds of that are about as good as Congress passing health care reform OH SHI-

Trimmed in a sort of faded denim colour with a pale blue-white - really brightened 'em up. Plus the recycled paint we used was 1/3 the price of a regular can of paint so it was a really good deal as well.

Wasn't that an ST:TNG quote where Data was testing out his emotion chip in one movie? But yeah, I can relate to Marigold. I absolutely do not want or even remotely like gin, but I'd drink tequila on any given Sunday.

I'm so glad I outgrew peer pressure.

No, really, I like knocking back a slug of Uncle Nastak's Cheap 'n Cheerful Chicago Courage Gin at the end of the day. That expression is simply my way of demonstrating my enjoyment of the hint of Lawrey's Seasoning Salt that's their trademark in this robust compound gin.

Sounds lovely, but how long does a coat last? I mean, does it really save over the seasonal trashbags my brother sends his out in?

Gin? You like drinking something that tastes like pine needles? Sorry - Botanicals.

raoullefere · « **Reply #15 on:** 22 Mar 2010, 06:09 »

I'd hardly call what the good folks at Uncle Nastak's ~~throw into the bathtub~~ infuse their fine product with 'botanicals.' Seasonings and condiments are more like it.

Gin's not my drink of choice, though I do like an occasional shot of Bombay Sapphire. But then I'm classy and shit. Seriously, I wear a monocle and everything!

I really hate to say this, and I am not trying to insult anyone or put anyone down, but at this point I think I'm just about done with this comic. I'm tired of the Marigold show, she's not a character I'm interested in, and suddenly she's the center of attention in 80-90 percent of the comics since she was introduced. I miss the characters that were already in the comic, who have been forgotten/pushed aside. I used to read every day, but lately it's gotten to where I only check every few days and roll my eyes whenever it's all about marigold. Hell, even comics that don't have Marigold in them are all about her. I'm just tired of it, and wanted to voice my opinion, hopefully without making too much of an ass of myself. So, thanks for listening to me ramble, glad for people who still enjoy the comic, and I'll see you later.

As for the comic, I am SO hoping marigold wakes up drunk and naked and confused about where she is.

Also, drinking Gin is like being fucked in the liver by a Pine Elemental.

The characters rotate being on center stage. Most likely, after a stretch of character development Marigirl will go onto the back burner along with Pennelope or even the freezer along with Raven.

What's wrong with Marigold anyway? The theme of a socially inhibited character going outside her comfort zone to try new things is a regular one in QC. She's realistic: my wife used to be housemates with someone who had a lot in common with Marigold.

Many people consider the whole concept of "blah blah, I'm done with X, bye" to be inherently rude (regardless of the turn of phrase actually used, but especially if it's your first post) and therefore a valid target for ridicule.

Logicaldisorder · « **Reply #27 on:** 22 Mar 2010, 11:00 »

*sigh* As I stated, I wasn't trying to offend anyone. And I wasn't trying to 'flounce'. I was JUST trying to state my opinion without attacking anyone, and I don't think I should be attacked FOR it. That's all.

I'm also sorry that I registered so long ago but never posted. Maybe things would be different. Maybe everyone wouldn't be so quick to immediately dismiss what I said. This isn't about offending or attacking anyone. It's just my opinion. Is that allowed to be stated without people assuming you're a troll or whatever? Again, I don't want to single any single person out or try to blame anyone. I also wasn't trying to tell Jeph what to do. I was ONLY stating that I THINK I'm done with the comic, at least for awhile, just because I don't happen to like all of the focus on Marigold. That's all.

raoullefere · « **Reply #28 on:** 22 Mar 2010, 11:11 »

Logicaldisorder, destesting Marigold is fine. Thinking she poisons the QC pond, also fine. Complaining about it until we can predict the content of your posts before reading them: go for it. Get rid of "I think I'm just about done with this comic" and "I'm just tired of it, and wanted to voice my opinion, hopefully without making too much of an ass of myself. So, thanks for listening to me ramble, glad for people who still enjoy the comic, and I'll see you later." and then you're presenting your opinion. The rest can happen without alerting us to it.

Exar_Kun · « **Reply #30 on:** 22 Mar 2010, 13:50 »

Yeah, since when did Jeph ever draw this comic for (y)OUR amusment? Its perfectly understandable that he would get tired of writing about the same characters for 1600+ strips. Writers get tired of there characters every once in a while. You are lucky Jeph isn't like other writers (some of whom write precisely about what they know will piss off their readers). God help us if Jeph ever become someone like Yoshiyuki Tomino, who kills off characters if they so much as look at him funny.

What I'm saying is, Jeph will eventually get tired of writing about Marigold, and he'll move on to other character that fans can ship/draw erotica of/write fan-fic about, etc.

It's not so much rudeness, as the elevated sense of self-importance that calls for the responses. The comic has several ten thousand readers.
Why would Jeff, or anyone so much give a damn about Logicaldisorder's pathetic tantrum? One reader less... so what? There are many that like marigold so it is not even a sure decrease in readership.

Meh..not really. This thread is about what you think of the QC per day/weekly. Not a lj moment where you yap at everyone about abandoning the comic.Nobody cares if "so-&-so" reads it or not. Stating your opinion is fine. But lets not treat these threads like a closing Myspace account.

michi-love · « **Reply #38 on:** 22 Mar 2010, 21:03 »

Here's what I think about the comic; today, this week, and just plain old "lately": it's fun, it's different, Marigold is the embodiment of 70% of my friends in high school - and, truthfully, now - not to mention pretty hilarious to watch. I don't particularly like every facet of her, but she's interesting.

In regards to Logicaldisorder, I'd like to put my two cents in, too. If you're going to let one character and their introductory arc turn you completely off of the entire comic, to the point you feel so strongly that you must inform the whole of the internet, then you're truly a horrible fan. (One wonders if perhaps this is the person who was the #badfan from Jeph's twitter note the other night.) Even more so, you prove your idiocy and lack of common sense (or, ha, logic) by posting your dismissal of Marigold and the comic... in a completely inappropriate thread? I haven't looked, but I'm positive there are plenty of anti-Marmar threads in the discussion board. But, knowing that most people tend to go to the weekly discussion of the comics more than the whining boards of others like yourself, you posted here, proving that not only are you a whining moron, but an attention-seeking one as well! Congratulations.

Oh, and also: I have found another reason never to try hard liquor. Thank you for the life-lesson, QC!

Wow, people really hate on gin, what's up with that? It's not my first choice, liquor-wise, but it ain't that bad. Although I guess it all depends on one's experience with it. I had a . . . less-than-ideal experience with tequila once (I know, I know, who hasn't), so I can't drink it straight anymore, but I have no problem with margaritas. As with any liquor, hard or otherwise, it's pretty much all about moderation -- as in, you know, don't drink the whole liter o' hooch. My taste tends to run toward dark rum (mmm, Myer's) and green Chartreuse.

I was semi-surprised when Monday's comeek didn't start with Angus waking to two sets of panties on his head -- only to wake up for real to something more odd or horrific. Given that Dora and Marten have the apartment to themselves once Dora gets home . . . I kinda doubt Dora's gonna be upset Faye won't be around to hear any whinnying.

Martin and Dora look happy together. Oh, and this comic contains another excellent life-lesson, michi-love: never, ever load your date up with hooch and mexican food if you expect to spend much time with her or him after said date. Marten got off lucky, trust me. Unless, of course, he's too much a gentleman to complain about the gas-attack.

It's about a post-apocalyptic society of apartment dwellers who nose in each other's business and systematically kill outsiders, presenting their charred corpses to the great Dog-God Marmaduke. One Aldo Kelrast comes to mind.
