I'm pretty sure that guy at the bar symbolizes Jeph himself right now.

VyperX · « **Reply #301 on:** 28 Oct 2011, 01:05 »

Pretty sure it isn't ~~him~~Elliot. In #2044 we can see that he doesn't look like Elliot. Also, I think Padma would be freaking out a lot more if she saw him lying down like that.

Even if Faye does react in the way she seems afraid of, it is not the end of the world... right? Not every relationship needs to (or can) last forever. She's come a long way with Angus, that progress is something to be happy about even if it does end. Maybe with the right person she wouldn't feel so afraid of commitment, and the fact that she does right now could be a sign that Angus is not the one.

1. Nice legwarmers. Nice legwarmers, indeed .

Pink legwarmers, no less. And Tai is looking shocked because Hanners just told her that Combichrist is her favourite band, and requested a bunch of Aggrotech tracks. What? I can come up with stupid pairings too you know.

My guess is Hanners is telling Tai why Faye was all bloody and such.

Or she's aghast at the thought of the Jennifer Beals look making a come-back.

Or is thinking "Wait, was today 80's Night? Fuck me, I brought out the wrong portable hard drive!!"

I'm wondering if this is supposed to be a dance club why are there only five visible people in the room?
And does anyone even know the passed out guy at all?

Well, it could be Hanners telling Tai why Faye is all bloody and such, but Tai is too distracted by the thought of the Jennifer Beals look making a comeback.

How does that make me a rascal? it seemed perfectly logical to me, Tai leads a very different life than the rest of the gang. And she only started going to CoD when she met Marten, she has to get coffee elsewhere did she not? I would just assume that it was The Secret Bakery, both those places seem to be the most popular places to go in their city.
But then again I could be just being ridiculous, that is entirely possibly. I tend to do that.

I thought the Secret Bakery was close to Smif.

Yes, I feel like that might be true. But really I just feel like I'm over analysing it now. Tai is a dj, people need djs and thats all I'm chalking it up to haha.

Would Tai have already known about the gang going to the party? I'm assuming that the invitation was made during the week on one of Marten's lunchhours, would he have not brought it up with her?

Have Tai and Padma met yet (in a strip)? I can't think of any strip featuring both of them, so was Tai just calling her "a hot-ass lady" based on third-person opinions?

Well, it's entirely plausible that Tai knows about her (as the hot Indian barista over at tSB), or that she based her assessment on whatever Marten has told her. Then again, I would surprised if Tai hasn't visited tSB on a couple of occasions.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #319 on:** 28 Oct 2011, 04:25 »

I found the background to todays panels as interesting as the discourse in the foreground.

Tai's reaction to Hanners was "interesting" still not sure what's going on, but hell this is the internet, we can speculate.

And Padma, don't poke the sleeping bear! Gods above, does no one exercise the least amount of restraint?

Lubricus · « **Reply #320 on:** 28 Oct 2011, 04:39 »

No, restraint is certainly not one of Padma's strong suits.

Background Tai so needs to be next week's caption contest.

Paranoid · « **Reply #323 on:** 28 Oct 2011, 08:00 »

My guess is that Tai's expression is a combination of "OMG is she okay?" and "WTF how did I not notice her walk in here with a bloody nose?"

Anyone else recall self-directed sarcasm being another of Faye's coping mechanism? Can't find the comic about it but she said something about humor helping her with her insecurities. My guess is, this thing is far from over even after Marten reassuring her.

Your memory is correct

DSL · « **Reply #325 on:** 28 Oct 2011, 08:32 »

Tai is reacting to Hanners' news that Beatrice owns Lady Gaga (who was grown in one of Dr. John's cloning tanks; the divorce proceedings got ugly over that) and Gaga is, in fact, available Saturday night.

A few times.

Okay, pretty much every time.

Maybe Padma was just concerned with the welfare of passed-out dude?

Or maybe she's so clueless she doesn't know why someone would be unconscious at a bar.

Hanners is already in costume...

Kugai · « **Reply #334 on:** 28 Oct 2011, 16:10 »

Hanners: "Do you have any Death Metal on your Hard-drive?"

So, come Monday either Faye is going to be waiting to throw herself into Angus' arms (cue swelling Violins)

Or

She will have him jumped by six Shoulin Monks and beaten to a pulp while she watches through Binoculars from half a mile away - Hey, she's gotta have an alibi!!

I'm thinking of when he gets back - so Monday strip time

Which should be Monday two weeks from now.

GeoCorn · « **Reply #337 on:** 28 Oct 2011, 17:26 »

I'm confused about real time vs QC time. It's been winter twice in the strip if I recall correctly... so could it be October again? Ugh, atleast the QC timeline is easier to follow than the Zelda timeline lol

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #338 on:** 28 Oct 2011, 17:32 »

There have been some dedicated attempts to pin down the QC timeline by people even nerdier than me. People have gone so far as to track hair growth. There are references in the wiki.

These attempts run into the problem that Jeph is not working to a specific calendar in the QC world and apparently doesn't want to.

GeoCorn · « **Reply #339 on:** 28 Oct 2011, 17:38 »

it's understandable though when somebody feel so passionately about a character that we try to figure such things out. I'm sure most of the people on this forum feel some sort of personal connection with the characters. Or maybe my life is just that empty LOL

One of the arguments that QC isn't real is that unlikely things happen in the name of humor. That could also be used as an argument that our world isn't real.

DSL · « **Reply #344 on:** 29 Oct 2011, 09:07 »

There's the theory that if the forum ever figures out wat's going to happen in QC, the QCverse will be repaced by something even more beyond the forum's ability to predict. Then there's the theory that Jeph does that about once a week.

Don't panic.

PS: Monday (our time) would be a great time for the guy at the bar to pop up and yell BOO!

Then there is a definite flaw in this Matrix, as the QCverse is way more appealing than "RL".

Also, is it sadistic if I expect Padma to have a black eye on Monday, because the drunk guy got startled and lashed out?

Sorflakne · « **Reply #346 on:** 29 Oct 2011, 10:20 »

Nah, I'm anticipating a drunken brawl starting between Faye and Padma that gets misinterpreted as some sort of dance routine and sets the whole club on a drunken brawling dance.

Don't panic.

as long as we're paraphrasing Douglas Adams

"I refuse to prove that I exist," says Jeph, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."

"But," says Marten, "The recurring background presence of Sweet Tits is a dead giveaway, isn't it? She cannot be there by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."

"Shitcock." says Jeph, "Just for that, you'll have no long-term happiness in this comic" and Padma promptly vanishes in a puff of Photoshop keymappings.

ok, so that sounded better in my head
