Why am I getting the vibe that Veronica is a switch given her recent actions? It's as if she's setting herself up to be Martins.....pain slut?

Panel 2: FLING

Is Hanners' horror (in Panel 4) just because she conceptually knows the Goatse is a terrible thing, or did she (in Panel 3) sneak a glimpse of That Which Man Has Been Frequently Tricked Into Knowing Against His Will? I believe she's been protected from viewing it before, and she knew enough not to look when Marten identified it by name.

Sharp · « **Reply #155 on:** 30 Dec 2010, 00:28 »

She's probably recieved a Primer from Marten listing all the key phrases to avoid searching, plus she alrready knows not to trust anything that Pintsize links on Twitter.

Edit for a question: So...I guess Kirk is an acquaintance of Marten's? Try to seperate work from home Veronica!

Seriously? Our lovely, well-aged lady of the evening has probably seen things that would melt your circuits.

Okay, the mere fact that Veronica "knows" the real identity of goatse.....

....but seriously, you gotta kinda wonder what sorta fetishes Veronica has done. I think we could cross off "Fisting" as one?

Quote from: Akima on 29 Dec 2010, 18:17

"Memorializing the achievements of individuals considered as members of families (as well as of other groups) is the earliest popular use of photography. For at least a century, the wedding photograph has been as much a part of the ceremony as the prescribed verbal formulas. Cameras go with family life. According to a sociological study done in France, most households have a camera, but a household with children is twice as likely to have at least one camera as a household in which there are no children. Not to take pictures of one's children, particularly when they are small, is a sign of parental indifference, just as not turning up for one's graduation picture is a gesture of adolescent rebellion." On Photography, Susan Sontag, 1977.*

Or in other words, if your parents have lots of embarrassing photos of you as a little kid, think yourself fortunate. They thought you were special!

*Still very much worth reading, incidentally. Sontag's total lack of interest in the technicalities of photography means that it mostly hasn't dated with the changes since the 1970s (Though I will go on using my Nikon FM2 until they stop making 35mm film. Why do modern DSLRs have to be so bloated?).

Uh, the main issue with digital photography is how SLOW it is. A full half sec between pressing the button and picture taken is actually already considered FAST.

Also, digital cameras are really bad with movements, if you make a movie.

However, I know nothing about "bloating".

And the main advantage of digital cameras is - you can make hundreds and thousands of pictures and all you really wasted was just a little electric charge. No need to develop the pictures, no need to carefully choose the occasion when to take the picture, just click away and if its bad, delete it again.

akronnick · « **Reply #161 on:** 30 Dec 2010, 01:39 »

I assume the 'bloat' Akima referred to is what is commonly called 'feature creep.'

All a skilled photographer really needs is a way to control aperture and shutter speed, a built in meter, and a way to tell if the image is in focus.

Most of the SLR's that are sold today, digital or otherwise, have so many metering modes and other settings that most users have no idea when to use what.

Not only tthat, but her expression when she does it - in one glance you get the whole of "Oh for fuck's sake, Pintsize, not now!"

In fact, all the expressions are great. I think I'm also wondering how Marten knew exactly what Pintsize was doing... those two are more closely connected than it seems...

Also, from Jeph's twitter; "PLZ no complaining about the font, it's just temporary and I'll change it tomorrow #jeez"

Skilled is the key word here. My experience as an unskilled camera-user is that a lot of the features are there to cater for the (rare) occasions, where automation fails. Such as the need to use a fill-flash, autoexposure lock, or off-center point of focus. Undoubtedly a skilled photographer gets better results by setting everything manually.

I bought my first autoeverything camera a few months before my son was born (you saw this coming, din't ya). Then I learned the hard way that there are these well documented easily identifiable situations, where the automatic mode of operation is inadequate. The problem was, of course, that my camera didn't have the necessary features to remedy these problematic cases.

So when the time to upgrade came, I knew what I wanted. My current (still analogue!) camera has all the features I can ask, and all these built-in programs for scenic shots, night-time.... Unfortunately the kid's growing at a slower pace now, so I haven't really had the need to learn about all these features

Is this horse dead, yet? I apologize for the attempt to beat some life into it.

I've avoided Pintsize's twitter. I've never attempted to visit this "4chan" thing because of all the horrifying things I have heard. I've never even clicked on a link from this damned forum! Now, however, I just had to look up this "goatse" to get a better grip on this comic... I suppose the character's expressions should have been a clue, but still- why, Jeph, whyyy?!

*cough* So. Anyway. The... the new font is a change. Hope it w- will change back soon?

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #174 on:** 30 Dec 2010, 10:40 »

Two things that just occurred to me while I was taking a whiz:
How likely is Dora to fire Cosette for "cursing" her relationship with Marten (is it even likely to cross her mind?)?
And what will Tortura make of Cosette, and vice versa, should they ever meet?

Carl-E · « **Reply #175 on:** 30 Dec 2010, 11:12 »

That could be hysterical - Tortura challenges Cosette to battle a la Scott Pilgrim, and Cosette defeats Tortura through a series of mishaps - tripping and avoiding a blow, her weapon going into a broken light fixture, and when Tortura's weapon hits, it turns out she's the one that's grounded...

Ultimately, Cosette winds up battered and bruised, arm in a sling, but Tortura's the one under the chandeleir...

Gotta agree on that. The whole scale of emotions is just marvelous (Marten's panicky expression in first panel, Faye's annoyance and anger on second, the whole gang's waiting curiosity and the final.. the sheer horror on everybody's face is simply priceless).

Totally same here. Although the initial reaction was kind of "the horror.. the horror!", especially after reading Jeph's newspost, I found myself laughing SO HARD (after the initial shock/grossout ofc). Now im just wondering, has the internet spoiled the last fragments of decency from my mind

*keyboardcat plays you off*

I love that Ms. Reed recognizes Goatse personally! Back in the day when I saw that for the first time, the thing I pointed out was "Hey, he's wearing a wedding ring . . ."

I'm now wondering if "Kirk" was one of Marten's high school teachers. Pintsize (offscreen, having been Faye-a-pulted) may be speechless, possibly in awe of Ms. Reed. LOVE the expressions of horror.
