Marten in a dress with boobs...oh dear lord how I cracked up at that.

It took me until a third reading to realize that panel 3 was not simply Dora.

St.Clair · « **Reply #152 on:** 01 Mar 2011, 22:49 »

The only way that could have been more traumatic for her is if she was somehow wearing one of Mare's shirts.

LordVaughn · « **Reply #153 on:** 01 Mar 2011, 22:59 »

It appears I'm not the only one who thought that was Dora in the third panel. And I think that this is the closest that anything has gotten to being something like my trippy dreams..

The most disturbing thing about that was Marten

In a dress

with the body of Dora

*Wakes up screaming*

Those tits are way bigger than Dora's. It's like he traded bodies with Faye.

Nice sexy little black dress though

Agreed on the dress.

Though for some reason the legs seemed Doraesque to me. Perhaps his dreamself is a horrible chimera of him/Dora/Faye?

First reading: Wow, a transsexual gag with Martin(a) in a nighty. Now trendy.

Second reading: Wait, maybe that's supposed to be Martin's head on Dora's body... in a nighty.

Third reading: Or maybe that's just straight up Dora? Damn her butch haircuts! I can't tell anymore!

Also, on further consideration, I think keeping her jeans on was the better decision. Better to contain any... spillage... a wake up alarm like that might cause.

So, what was it that really set Hanners off? The dream weirdness? Waking up in a strange place? Or specificly waking up in the bed of the geekgirl she had to decontaminate while wearing a hazmat suit?

Also, props to Mari-bear for her keen ninja skillz, waking up in the TIger Claw defensive stance.

jwhouk · « **Reply #163 on:** 02 Mar 2011, 00:39 »

Hanners was set off by the fact that everyone called her "Marigold" in the dream - and when she woke up, she realized she was in Marigold's bedroom. And, therefore, she thought she had somehow turned into Marigold.

akronnick · « **Reply #164 on:** 02 Mar 2011, 00:44 »

One thing's for sure:

Hanners will never eat beef jerky again.

Three steps forward, two steps back.

I'm imagining that Hanners will scream for much of tomorow's comic, Marigold will try the boob squish and through her inexperience end up either a) asleep b) sent flying

your first thought was correct, dora doesnt have tha big of a rack and doesnt look like that at all...

and did jeph run into writers block? im not really liking this silly arc...hope it ends soon

Border Reiver · « **Reply #170 on:** 02 Mar 2011, 05:16 »

JW, interesting poll.

Is it a bad sign that on reading Marigold's entry, I pictured a "Red Sonja-esqe" outfit? Or is it the sign of a person that has read way too many comics and seen too many B-grade sword and sorcery flics over the years?

Cause I wasn't sure that was possible.

DSL · « **Reply #171 on:** 02 Mar 2011, 05:30 »

Wondering who the pith-helmet guy is, in the first panel. Doesn't look like any of the male characters seen so far, or much like Hanners' fantasy Indiana Jones. Thought it might be a more-confident Elliot, who as far as we've seen Hanners has only seen once, behind the counter at the bakery, but ...

... I'll just wait and see what Jeph does next.

For the sake of "teh funnie," I'll speculate that Hanners, in her freakout, leaves Marigold's room a mess.

Someone should have told Hanners not to read Kafka's Metamorphisis before Faye knocks her out with a Vulcan boob squish. (Even though she did not become an insect...)

They do, hence the faux incest comment back when Veronica first visited, and the thoughtful silence about whether or not Veronica birthed Dora.

Yes, Jeph as David Willis. This must happen.

And Firefly is gold, people. Bright, shiny gold in a universe too good for it. Best damn $8.88 I ever spent at Sam's (well, ok, the beef jerky was a better deal. And those blackberries. And the tortilla chips and nacho cheese dip.)

Quote from: BriGuy on 02 Mar 2011, 11:57

Okay, this comic made me sign up, because all I can think of when looking at the second panel is the chibi-AnthroPC's comment about live eels.

If this isn't a one shot joke, I can see Hanners explaining her dream, and Marigold getting upset/depressed because it sounds like she's saying she thinks it would be a nightmare to be living her (Marigold's) life. Marigold needs some self confidence booster shots, stat.

Quote from: Odin on 02 Mar 2011, 04:39

They are not worth paying for. The show features some of the worst cliched writing ever by Joss Whedon and the only reason anyone still thinks the show is good is because it was canceled long before the normal idiocy Whedon pulls in every single thing he writes had a chance to crop up (seriously, Google up and check some of the concepts for the show Whedon was planning on before it got canceled, like the quasi-incest sub-plot in Season 2 between Simon and River *shudder*).

The show survives purely on the magnificent casting job that was done for each character and the acting chops they each brought to their roles. I mean, you have Adam Baldwin basically reprising his Animal Mother role from Full Metal Jacket IN SPACE, which is pretty funny, but still not worth buying.

Borrow it or rent it, don't buy it.

Are you saying that the only reason people still like Firefly is because they never got to see what might have happened in the next season(s)? I may be alone here, but isn't it better to critique a show, or any artistic creation, by what was actually put forth, rather than what was conceptualized? Condemning a creative fiction because the storyboarding has not been to your liking pretty much stomps on a creator's ability to learn and grow as an writer. To put it another way, I don't believe there are bad creative ideas, only ideas that help you be more creative.

I know you probably didn't mean to say that this was the only reason it was bad (you mentioned cliched writing which, yes, it does, in my case it didn't detract from my enjoyment very much but I respect your opinion that it does). I hope you'll agree with me though that the finished product shouldn't be judged by the outline, or even the rough draft.

fanfiction.net would like a word with you.

Why, we could start with how every major female character in QC thus far has a mental disorder and can't be in a stable relationship without therapy. We could start. But I'd rather not.

Take a look: most of the characters have some sort of mental issue. I honestly think the only mostly normal ones are Penelope and Angus.

I'm sorry, have you seen Penelope? The blonde pent up ball of rage and misdirected aggression? The woman who despises the fact that she wants to be a literary agent but doesn't want to the hard graft to realise that ambition? The barrista who rages at the fact that someone like Faye has a natural talent for sculpting but, for her own reasons, has lost her passion for sculpting, while Penelope is behind a coffee counter? A woman who religious upbringing has made her blind and ignorant of other people's own beliefs, to the point where she will ridicule them for those beliefs?

That Penelope, or is there some other Penelope running around that I don't know about? (and don't say Pizza Girl, coz when was the last time she was in the comic?)

Point well made. At least you didn't argue with me about Angus.

IanClark · « **Reply #186 on:** 02 Mar 2011, 23:19 »

Angus was introduced to the comic by borderline stalking Faye...

I don't think too many of the characters in QC have "serious mental issues", nor do I think they need therapy, but they're all a little bit strange. Which is the attraction. (Some may argue it's the realism that's the attraction, but then that's not really a disagreement.)
