It is technically Monday.

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting? Now I know what I'll be having for dessert. In hell.

Also, I'm sure Hanners will be glad to note that the three of them are (for the moment) arranged in order of pinkish-purpleness, thanks to Marten's...pink boxers?

ecstaticjoy · « **Reply #3 on:** 23 May 2010, 22:48 »

What is Marten wearing??

Tuitsuro · « **Reply #4 on:** 23 May 2010, 22:53 »

Oh, give it a few hours, you'll be fine. You'll be hallucinating and be making even worse decisions thoughout the day, but at least you'll catch that insomniac high.

Kugai · « **Reply #5 on:** 23 May 2010, 23:00 »

So that leaves Pen-Pen and Faye in charge of CoD.

Let the takeover begin.

And Carrot Cake isn't Carrot Cake unless it has Banana Iceing.

Carl-E · « **Reply #6 on:** 23 May 2010, 23:14 »

No, no, it's gotta be cream cheese.

And who amongst us can say that there hasn' been a time that you did the same thing as Dora? A burst of hyper-productive insomnia, then exhaustion at work!

We've seen Marten's pink boxers before...

pendrake · « **Reply #7 on:** 23 May 2010, 23:24 »

For comic #1671...

1. Love the cute expression on Hannelore's face in panel #3. All that is missing is the tongue-licking expression of "yummy."

2. The hair-detailing is a lot better for this strip, not as 'streaky' and 'spotty' as before (as I had mentioned in previous posting), with the best improvement with Hanner's hair (though that could be the blonde colouring blending it).

3. Ah post-'wired' energy crash... (though not post-sex 'wired' energy

) Been there, regained consciousness elsewhere that.

4. Carrot cake is good, though not my first choice for cake. Also agree with Kugai: banana icing over cream-cheese frosting.

5. Is Marten wearing pink boxer shorts...? [EDIT ADD: saw Carl-E's link. Guess he is]

Tuitsuro · « **Reply #8 on:** 23 May 2010, 23:36 »

So really, all Marten needs to do is *bleep* her senseless and she'll be good to go for the rest of the day.

I thought it was more like "I want to kill that cake now!", like a homicidal cake maniac.

I believe he may have turned into a lady from the waist down. That is my explanation for it.

Aaaaaaaaaaanyway, what a champion dodge of the question of whether he liked it or not. Stating exactly what something is, and not whether you like it or not is just classic

I'm fine the day after an all-nighter. It's the next day that I'm wiped out, even if I've got a good night's sleep in between. I'm hoping the cake is just a figment of their hallucinations, or to put it another way: "The cake is a lie".

About the poll, how about including options for Steve and Ellen? And Penny and Will? And Tai and Jimbo? Look, I know Tai and Jimbo aren't a couple, but their appearance would make a nice occasional shakeup of the mundane. While I'm at it, howsabout an appearance of Mrs. Chatham and Mrs. Marten? Okay, now that preceding question can be widely interpreted...

One problem I have is that I'm so awake the day after an all-nighter, once I've caught my second wind (microsleep, maybe an hour or two napping), that I wind up pulling a second all-nighter, and passing out at some point the next day without realizing I'm tired.

From now on, Marten, two words: afternoon delights.

Actually, if you like your food, sometimes it's best not to think too hard about what goes into it.

Also, is it really that big of a deal Marten has pink boxers? I mean, the color they are, they look more like boxers that were white before they got tossed in the same wash as some reds...

Especially given that dairy products are made from excretions from the nipple of a large, stinky mammal.

I guess I'm jaded. Marten's shorts look like boxers that have undergone an accident—no, not that kind, the sort where one washes whites with something both recently purchased and red.

When haven't I done this is more like it. As in far too often. I'm getting less and less able to bear through it 'unscathed,' though. Getting old sucks, although not as badly as the alternative.

Tai and Jimbo? Brilliant! Oh, I know she's a lesbian, but screw her. Sexual preference always gets steamrolled by plot advancement. I learned that from Joss Whedon.

No, it's pretty indistinct in the first panel. Shows up better in 2-4 though. Since Jeph does the comic on a Mac it may stand out more to him -- is color on Macs still washed out, or did they finally get around to fixing that?

Shouldn't it be Steve and Cosette? Although if it was Steven and Ellen I can see how Cosette could then shake things up.

To all those of you who do not care for cheese, so be it. I will not try to convince you that cheese is tasty and nutritious. I will simply say - "More for me" and go back to gorging, saving some for my lovely wife.

Most foods are disgusting. You'd think vegans would be relatively safe, except now we're finding salmonella and e-coli from everything from lettuce to tomatoes to sprouts. In fact it's become such a problem that the US government has declared lettuce to be a hazardous food in the same category as ground beef or raw chicken.

Despite her disclaimer, Dora's shown some maternal behavior, e.g. toward Momo.

Dora's hair is...purpler than in the last two comics, right?

I like the way the word "specials" is written. Like Dora just zoned out and sank the ground, sleeping on the way.

I squealled a little. Last week I dyed the front half of my hair that exact colour (seriously, Dora must have used Blueberry hill from Paintbox). Wasn't overly pleased with the result at first, thinking I should have gone for Purple Haze instead, but now I'm rocking a half Dora Do. So very very Stoked! YAYAY

Jeph, some advice about your vasectomy whenever it happens. First, do exactly as the Dr. says and basically sit on the couch for 2 days. Second, frozen peas are your friend...buy several bags of them. Third...no condoms = awesomes for you, no pill = awesome fro Christie, so it's a win win and everyone's happy

And strictly comic related stuff and for the few women here who were talking about hair coloring, check out bettybeauty.com I'm sure you all will thank me. Guys, feel free to check it out too for all the women in your life (except your mom an sister unless you're from one of those states where that stuff is "accepted"). *wanders off playing a banjo*

BryanP · « **Reply #49 on:** 25 May 2010, 03:53 »

Vasectomy. Fun. I had mine 16 years ago. If it's anything like mine you'll think "that was no big deal."

Until the local wears off.

Arrange some time to not do anything but sit around with a cold pack on your crotch while you heal up a bit. It's a good time to catch up on DVD's.

Don't put your laptop in your lap.
