Raven and Dora just do not look... right for some reason.
Yes, I know, Dora's got a new hairdo. But Raven's face doesn't look right in that last panel.
Meh. I know, Jeph doesn't care. Still - Dora and Raven need to visit the local salon.

What? No
I actually think they look really god! Specially Dora, the only thing I was going to comment about this comic was that I think she looks really good.
Jeph doesn't care about my opinion either but still: Keep her like that!

but they are dead and have never been alife.

How can something be dead if it has never been alive in the first place?

But do you really actually have any trouble understanding what I wanted to say ? I kinda doubt that.

No, I just found that sentence weird. I'm not stupid.
Even though I find those realdolls extremely creepy I won't gold that against anyone. There are far worse people around and those are the "normal" persons. If said person was having some "quality time" with the doll in public then I would have a problem with that person.

[Welu]

Raven has some shiny hair. I had an added giggle at this strip because the placement of her speech-bubble in the last panel kind of looks like it's her hair talking.

I was going to say I thought Dora was looking really good in this strip too, I'm a fan of the hair. She's got some very pink lipstick on her. Is it just me or do the girls, except for Raven, seem to be wearing less lipstick? Faye definitely doesn't wear it as much any more. Not a negative or positive thing, just something I noticed.

[TRVA123]

Has anyone, other than maybe the Vespavenger, been portrayed as truly never being able to come back?  Even long gone Sara 's fate is the subject of speculation.  (One of these days she and Ellen will reappear, having married.)

Sara is secretly Portia de Rossi?

I kid, I kid.

Looks to me like Dora is revisiting her goth roots. Was she dressing differently before just to appeal to Marten? Or is it just laundry day?

[TinPenguin]

[...] Momo does have that social protocol database, after all, and I suspect it includes the general consensus that naked humanoids walking around public places is a no-no.

Uh.

In many western places, thats not really such a big no-no anymore.

Care to name one?

[grimeyville]

Place your bets now! Will Dora freak out about Marten trying to date?!

Will she try to "help"!?

Will she show character growth and not do a damn thing?!

Your results may vary.

 

[Throg]

I dunno, it's drama bait. 

It's one thing for Marten (and even Tai) to be all GLOOOOM-y about Dora going out on a date -- but after that talk that Marten and Dora had on the porch during Tai's party, it'd be terribly hypocritical for Dora to flip out about Marten dating. Sad or wistful, sure, but nothing beyond a moment's pause.  It's Faye and Raven that are underestimating Dora to expect she couldn't handle it. 

[Random Al Yousir]

In some German towns like München or Berlin it wasn't that uncommon an appearance in the late 80's/early 90's.

It started as a protest against stuffy morals, some people got arrested, there were discussions, and the general agreement was, that it was the more graceful way to simply accept this kind of behavior.

But it grew so much out of fashion in the last 15 years that it's highly uncommon again, these days.

The last I heard is, that in the vicinity of Karlsruhe some people, bicycling along the Rhine, naked, were ordered to dress under threat of a fine.

Of course, there are a lot of beaches where wearing bathing clothes stands out like a sore thumb.

Considering that Dora was asking Marten if he'd met any girls at the party, and that he was ogling a chick right in front of her and she just joked about it, I'd say she'll be cooler with it than Faye and Raven think. Of course, they weren't there for that conversation, so they might not know that.

[Paranoid]

Dora being terribly hypocritical?  Perish the thought...
Seriously, Faye and Raven have more than enough justification to be worried about this.  Don't get me wrong, I like Dora.  It's Marten's gf from strips 565 to 1799 that I had issues with.  Now, iduguphergrave makes a good point about Dora kidding Marten about ogling someone, but there is a difference between ogling and actively pursuing.  Hopefully she'll be calm about it, but people aren't always rational.  Of course, there's also the chance that Dora would have been cool about it except the fact that noone expecting her to be cool about it gets her all riled up and overreacting and I think I'll stop over-analyzing now.  We'll find out soon enough I expect: if not tomorrow than probably Monday.

As for the idea of western places where nudity is acceptable, I seriously doubt Northampton is one of them.  Besides, look at how uncomfortable everyone gets when Tai starts stripping.  Surely Momo's social protocol database would have informed her that whatever the norm is around Northampton concerning casual nudity that her owner and new friends have (mostly) decided against it.

All my $.02, as usual.

[Is it cold in here?]

Northampton is not San Francisco. Though it was indoors and only women around. Maybe not being seen naked is part of Momo's campaign to assume human dignity. Or maybe Jeph didn't want to draw nudity.

[stoutfiles]

Or Faye could just tell her to mind her own business.  Interrupting a conversation does not mean you get to know what it was about.

Then again, she is the boss and Faye/Raven aren't doing anything productive as usual.  I'd hire some more efficient robots to replace them.

[SirDudley]

Ya know.....I kinda can see Faye wearing a dead rat carcass for shoes. In some post-apocalyptic alternate universe, mind you.

[ecstaticjoy]

Hey wouldn't it be cool if QC had a post-apocalyptic alternate universe week/month/year? Who do you think would get killed first? Who would survive the longest?

[gangler]

Faye would totally be the big tough guy who gets killed off to display how badass someone else is.

[SomeCanadianWeirdo]

Hannelore would likely survive because she probably has an impenetrable shelter someplace, stocked with 30 years of food, water, and Mr. Clean products.  Or a hidden spacecraft, allowing her to return to her father's space habitat.

[Is it cold in here?]

Faye is not indifferent to shoes: it's probably a matter of affordability.

[Mr_Rose]

Or she wears the ratty old pair to work because they are broken in (half) and super-comfortable to be standing up in all friggin' day.

Betcha she has at least one pair of dancin' shoes stuffed in her closet somewhere, and maybe a pair of seducin' ones too.

[TinPenguin]

super-comfortable to be standing up in all friggin' day.

This is what shoes are for.

This is the only thing shoes are ever for.

[DSL]

Sandals at least once. Hope she had a nicer pair of shoes to go with her date-with-Angus dress, or at least a newer pair of Chucks.

OK, I've crossed some sort of line. What should we call the QC equivalent of "Trekkie"? "Questie" is sort of taken.

[Is it cold in here?]

There's an official word on the question of why Momo thought it necessary to wear a towel:

I’m not answering any of these kinds of questions, nor do I plan on ever doing anything cheesecakey with Momo in the comic, because that would be creepy.

[Kugai]

I'm just concerned things could get outta hand and they all end up crossing the Shoe Event Horizon

[Method of Madness]

There's an official word on the question of why Momo thought it necessary to wear a towel:

So the official word is that there never will be official word.  Which is of course absurd, because everybody's heard that the is the word.

[Kugai]

Oh God, I have Peter Griffin stuck in my head again now.

[Tova]

I thought Grease was the word.

Aaanyway I like the new forum subtext "The content here is questionable". Not quite as succinct as FFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffff but still gets the point across.

[rje]

omg am I gonna be the first???
okay!
*deep breath* hhhhhhhhhhh------------------

AWWWWWWWWWW!!

No srsly aw that is adorable
I think those playful little games you have are one of the things I miss the most about relationships

[gangler]

I can relate to Marten here. Normal couple activities are fine, but walk in on something truly adorable like that and I'm sitting here like "I knew I was single, but I don't think I realized I was bitter until just now".

Ah, fun. Seriously too cute. Had a moment of shock like "OMG is she cool with this?" and then had to check her facial expression. Hilarious and heartwarming all at once. It's pretty cool that Angus seems to be helping Faye out with a lot of her issues. I seem to recall a strip where Faye set up a scenario like this as some manner of nightmare fodder for her when meeting Marten's mom. Seeing her able to frolic this way without problem has to be one of the more enjoyable types of character growth.

[akronnick]

Now he's on the other side of the ear-fucking incident!

[SomeCanadianWeirdo]

So, will this early comic satisfy this week's Entitled Jerk?

Faye must have more than one of those shirts in her closet given how many times she's worn it.

[Blackjoker]

Seriously?  Personally I put it on par with being excessively tickled by someone even though you asked them to stop.  I'm not exactly Mr. Sociable in real life, but even I know that this is perfectly common and acceptable behavior when among close friends, and I would like to think that Hannelore and Momo are becoming close friends by now.  We've seen much worse behavior between friends on this comic in the past: just look at Faye and Marten.  Surely the robotic equivalent of a poke or tickle can hardly be called rude, especially in this context.  Now, if Hannelore whines about the upcoming payback Momo is planning on dishing out it'd be a different story, but I really don't see that happening.

I actually find myself agreeing with Stoutflies on this. While it is sort of...nice to see Hannelore able to overcome a hangup this isn't a nice way of doing it. I can't think of a good comparison that doesn't sound creepy, so after trying for a bit I'll just state it simply. Hannelore is doing to Momo something that she would HATE having done to her. Fear of touch aside, it seems kind of mean. I have a suspicion that had it not been Hannelore doing it, say had it been Faye or Dora, there would have been more 'Leave Momo alone' comments made.

I like the way we've previously had an AnthroPC duct-taped to a wall, shut in a freezer and punched so hard it needed repair, but seeing one getting prodded is where people draw the line... (and this was basically my first thought as well).

In the cases where this happened Pintsize had also insulted or assaulted people. IE there was a nature of punishment involved. With this Momo is asking her to stop and she wasn't. I'm not calling it a grand crime, I think it was kinda rude. And I also made the point that if someone other than Hannelore had done it reactions might be different. As to todays comic...poor Marten.

Edit: I don't know how but apparently I accidentally put my response IN the RE block showing what I was responding to. I apoligize, I am made of idiot and my hovercraft is full of eels.

[akronnick]

Nothing will ever satsify the Entitled Jerks of the world.

Don't even try.

[Tova]

Don't think I'm game to try that game out on my partner. 

[Carl-E]

Angus is going to think this is a lot less cute when Faye plays duck duck balls

Ow. 

[Is it cold in here?]

Marten's deprivation continues.

[pwhodges]

Ducks or Boobies?

[Skaltura]

Great tits.

I think she likes it.

Err ... you think thats CREEPY ?!?  ???

[Soulsynger]

Creepy enough to dislocate Jeph's argument's shoulders at least.

@Comic:
ARGAFARGL needs to be a bandname! Who's with me?

[WAYF]

I think ... or hope... that Faye will spend the next few minutes laughing too hard to deliver horrific retributions upon Angus.

In any event, I think this is likely to be Angus's way of getting Faye to loosen up.
In some sort of "all or nothing" kind of way.

[iduguphergrave]

You did read the comic preceding the newspost right? That illuminates it quite a bit.

Our first album will be called "GUNURGLHURR" and it will feature singles like "HORGRR" and "AARDVAARK" (a song about an extraordinarily brave aardvark twice as long as a normal one).
Our sound will be based around playing various instruments by shouting loudly at them.
Our stage show will be that of Amon Amarth, only with less vikings and more ducks and boobs.


@Kyronea:
Very boring game if you're a girl, I imagine.
