Faye's booty-comaprison made me think of this, so, yeah, Marten, why are your feelings hurt?

'Cause he's not gettin' that hot hot Dora sexing anymore? Not being with someone tends to make criticism of one's physical attributes harder to take.

'Cuz M. took the shot and now it's coming back, under nearly reversed circumstances. But I still think it's just banter.

No, she doesn't say that "Angus is better than him", just that she likes Angus's butt better - that's quite different, and falls well within the usual range of banter between friends who live together.

Why would she bring that up though, if only to be mean? Besides, after "the incident" I would think that Faye knows to not rub in anything regarding Sven or Angus. There's healthy banter and then there's low blows, Faye is leaning towards the latter as usual.

Considering the first time Faye and Angus had sex and Martin witnessed Angus's post sex dance (with pink condom) and put up celebrationary decorations, I think Martin is ok with the idea of Faye dating.

I think Faye is merely teasing Martin over the fact he is wearing shorts for the first time ever - and Faye only compares it with Angus's when Martin reminds her that she used to think it was cute... To be honest, I doubt Martin is that upset really...

I know a good therapist that specializes in these types of issues Jeph. His name is Seymour.

I completely missed commenting last week on the fact the comics have now passed into the futuuuuure. In fact, the last mention I saw of the strip number/year correlation was 3 weeks ago. I predict that in 2016, I will own a computer with a 10 TB+ storage medium.

How much Momo pays in Income taxes?

Income tax laws have yet to take into account the individuality of anthroPCs. Thus, all their income is considered that of the person or organization most closely associated with them or with whom they have created a contract. Some argue against the tax code incorporating them, on the principle that if death (the near term mortal kind, not the heat death of the universe kind) is not certain for them, taxes shouldn't be either.

The only thing that really matters to me is that cool Sunn O))) t-shirt. I never thought that Marten would dig them (because if he owns that t-shirt only for the lulz... that's just dumb in my book).

I wouldn't doubt that Marten would listen to Sunn O))) and even list them as an influence for Deathmøle, but the shirt is a pretty hilarious parody of the darkness and seriousness of Sunn O))). In order to get lulz from a shirt like that, he'd really have to know who the band is and what they sound like. It's not funny at all, otherwise.

Err ... I really, really, really have no clue why Marten is even trying to date Padma.

Yeah she looks like Dora with ebony skin. But she's totally NOT Dora on the inside. She's driving me nuts with her inability to spot the glaring obvious. And she apparently completely failed to notice the other guys interest in her for ages, so why would she notice Martens interest in her ?

Quite frankly - all Padma did in the comic so far was being annoyingly stupid.

She comes across as a (perhaps) slightly less clueless version of Raven. It wouldn't surprise me if she still thinks Marten is gay. Of course it's possible that the punchline will be that Padma is a lesbian and isn't interested in either Marten or Elliot.

Frankly I'd be interested in seeing Martien try something with Renee, if only to see if she actually is the equivalent of Faye her character design implies. So far all we've seen her do is be deadpain and swear a bit.

I'm not sure where to post this, so maybe Jeph will read this or not.

I know Jeph is constantly working on his art, and I highly HIGHLY respect him as an artist. I am honestly in awe of his artistic growth and I wish I had half of his talent.

I'm not sure if he is interested in feedback, but I know it is something I appreciate so I hope he takes this kindly: I think he could improve his necks in his drawing. Anatomically, most necks connect at the back of the head - the base of the skull - not the middle of the head. They are also generally at least half as wide as the head. Faye's neck in Monday's comic (but generally when characters are viewed in profile) seemed a bit off.

That said, I love Jeph's work regardless. I hope my ramblings aren't offensive.

Depends, I suppose. Stuart and Julian are of similar ages (about 13 months apart, even), and I knew Stuart's playing and accomplishments long before I knew who Julian was. Not to disparage Julian—not by any means!—but I grew up on the classical side of the fence, and some of my personal explorations into the avant garde overlap with things he's done. They are both my heros, and it's too bad that their 45 minutes (or so) of that day's free improvisations are boiled down to about five minutes of music on Monoliths & Dimensions. That recording session was a lesson to anybody who heard them.

Let's hope she has read her own manual and also the warning label on the spray (or did a quick spectrometer analysis, whichever is easier).

Padma humor! Oh! <3 <3 <3 <3

That may be bad news for the boys. It doesn't look like Padma's sense of humor is compatible with that of either of the suitor-wannabes' (if you can call them that). Nor with the other males. Well, Jim might be an exception?

Well, Dora's parents smoked weed. We just saw her get a contact high.

On yesterday, Marten's lack of butt has been mentioned before. So it's not like her comment was completely out of nowhere. (Although I was expecting a comment about Sven's butt) She liked Marten's butt when she had feelings for Marten and now she likes Angus' butt because she has feelings for Angus. Maybe my circle of friends are all jerks with thicker skins but their banter isn't beyond us, down to the "Why does that hurt my feelings."
Also Faye smirk is both nauseating and adorable.

Much props to Jeph for the backgrounds today. They're stunning.
I assume Momo used the bug spray because other people were and she just didn't question it. Her and Marten's look at each about Padma's joke is brilliant.
