There is actually a comic when I wake up in the morning now! How marvelous.

One, that particular life lesson seemed to me to be more common sense than necessary to realize through anecdotes... but hey, that's just me. o.o

Two... I noticed that too! Either Jeph is human, or Marten is psychic. I bet it's the human one. Though the latter does open up a rather interesting idea for a new story arc... hrmmm.

Definitely the human one. The comic as it was when I got there a minute or two ago has Dora mentioning tacos and bourbon in panel one, and Marten calling it "food and booze."

Dinner-fuck her booze hole...uh, wow?

I'll probably be chastised for saying so, but it just seems more ridiculous than usual to me. I know Pintsize has a bad mouth, but it seems a little more 'blue' than usual.

The internet is so educational. I was happily unaware that such a thing as a chimichanga even existed. Thanks to Google, I now know it looks like an eldritch abomination took a dump on the plate. I think I'm going to be sick. It's worse than Pintsize's tentacle porn.

Oh, and I'm fed up with the way Jeph is spending far too much time focussing on Mexican food. It's sooo boring... I miss the days when there were salads, and sushi... I think I'm going to stop reading the comic...

I think Pintsize is still in a rut, and is trying desperately to get out of it. It's like Madonna on David Letterman.

Results of yesterday's poll:

Jeph starts the week off tame

Building to the Friday "cliffhanger" in normal storytelling fashion to keep us interested 8 (17%)
Simply to get across the point that bourbon is simply an abomination in the eyes of the whiskey gods 6 (12.8%)
So that he's got somewhere to go without having to have Faye sleep with anyone 12 (25.5%)
Because not every strip need be filled with drama and excess 21 (44.7%)

Total Voters: 47

Apparently, there aren't as many people who share my opinion on bourbon as just want a chuckle now and then.

Quote from: danman on 22 Mar 2010, 16:47

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.

Allow me to clarify; I meant to imply that some people consider the implicit arrogant self-importance of such statements to be inherently rude. Like how B-list celebrities wailing "don't you know who I am?" in A-list restaurants seldom garner anything but negative responses, only with an even greater discrepancy in assumed and actual importance.

Anyway, in a desperate attempt to drag this post back on-topic:

Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 23 Mar 2010, 00:49

Now we can worry about business being so slow that a barista can just take the rest of her shift off. We've already seen Dora worrying about CoD's viability.

Yeah, but since then Raven has drastically cut back on her hours, so the wage-bill is probably somewhat reduced. Also at least one time when Dora was worrying about the bills it was because she had put a decimal point in the wrong place and effectively multiplied one of them by ten. She apparently did the same thing to Faye's wage check on that day too...

SigPig · « **Reply #61 on:** 23 Mar 2010, 05:37 »

Hmmm Dora isn't too upset but I believe its due to Faye calling in and explaining what is happening. Marigold hasn't tried anything stronger than beer and wine so hard liqour would hit her hard. Faye is probably staying to help Angus put Marigold to bed after she passes out. (I prefer 100 proof rum over bourbon btw).

While not the finest of foods (that honour belongs to a shredded pork sandwich with lots of sauce served with fresh cut fries and a decent beer), I have nothing against the deep fried burritto.

A Hotdog with Onions, Cheese and BBQ Sauce is the perfect food.

Hot dogs are to sausage as pablum is to food, but your on the right track - substitute a fine Italian sausage or a Bratwurst, or keilbasa and tell me if you don't change your mind.

Beer, Bratwurst, cheese and kraut are the four food groups in Wisconsin dere hey.

Barring that, I like a nice chicken cordon bleu with potatoes and veggies.

You can keep the kraut, but the rest is all good. Introduced the boys to good comfort food this evening - mashed taters. baked beans and brats.

Bah! I scoff at your wieners, rice, etc. and submit the following:
Pizza: homemade crust; pizza sauce seasoned to taste ('Italian seasoning' (thyme, savory*, oregano, rosemary), possibly salt); topped with fresh ground chuck cooked with finely chopped onions, coarsely chopped bell pepper, EVO, Italian seasoning, and dusted liberally with parmesan and/or romano cheese after crumbling; pepperoni; chopped red onion; and mozzarella cheese shredded fresh from a block. Cook till cheese lightly browned. Dust very lightly with red pepper (or not). If serving to a crowd, be sure to save one slice to consume following day.

*If buying premixed, savory is the deal breaker—it's just gotta have it.

First comic I've read for this strip in a while, and reading the pintsize dialogue in the last panel, I can't help but be reminded of Boyz in The Hood.

A beef-on-weck from almost any bar in Buffalo. Thick sliced incredibly tender roast beef, still reddish-pink, on a kimmeweck roll (basically a crusty kaiser roll encrusted with kosher salt and caraway seeds). The roll, after being sliced, had it's sliced faces dipped in au jus before the beef is piled on.

Oh, and horseradish to taste.

Heaven... I'm in heaven... and my heart beats so that I can barely speak!

The fact that she's leaving gives a slight clue about how she feels, I'd wager. I'll also wager that she'll be rather displeased to find out Pintsize has repurposed her vibrator for use as part of a three-stage model rocket.

Perhaps she really wants Marigold to have a chance, or she thinks Mar-bear is too drunk to restrain herself in any attempts and does not want to be there when it all goes down... Yikes.

I figured Faye would figure out. This really is an amazingly awkward situation for her, I'd imagine her best course would be to tell Marigold to go for it. If the two of them hook up then oh well, if they don't and Angus remains free then she can work out whether she wants to ask him out or not.

1) Chimichangas are AWESOME. They probably take at least a couple of days off your life, but it's sooooooo worth it.

2) I think Faye got out of there because she knows there's nothing there between Marigold and Angus, and she's just getting out of the blast radius of the Awkward Bomb.

Always a good sign - we can generally agree that creamed corn is simply disgusting.

Other potentially nasty food and drink combos

Creamed corn and, well anything really 16 (38.1%)
Skittles and beer 8 (19%)
Sushi and Blue Curaco 9 (21.4%)

Well we at least can realize that Faye is aware and that she does feel anything more than lust for Angus, or maybe it's just friendship. Anyway, the booze should make an awkward moment just so much more awkward.

LeeC · « **Reply #97 on:** 24 Mar 2010, 03:02 »

I think Faye just left because she just reacted that way. Honestly I hope she doesnt just shoot herself down because mar-bear likes Angus and hasnt dated before. Angus is single and still fair game but at the same time she doesnt want to hurt the mar-bear.

Marigold said she believes she actually has a chance, and therefore Faye probably thinks that Angus is interested in Marigold, instead of in her.

That must hurt, and it also makes her the third wheel on the cart. That's why she's leaving immediately.

Odin · « **Reply #99 on:** 24 Mar 2010, 04:03 »

Faye is leaving because Marigold and Angus are both drunk (Marigold far more than Angus) and 'tis the best opportunity for Marigold to get laid immediately after the "Never even been on a date" revelation to Faye.

It will backfire tremendously on Marigold though, as Angus (even drunk) will turn her down and things will become horribly awkward between them on a steadily increasing run of drama.

Looking forward to it.
