Yes, I know, a LOT of poll options, but it IS the end of the year.

I'll probably shave it down after a few days. If you have a suggestion as to something that *should* be up there, go ahead and post it.

But there's an entire week after this one...

jwhouk · « **Reply #2 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 11:39 »

Probably won't be a full week, if the past is any indication.

Carl-E · « **Reply #3 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 12:40 »

I wanna vote for more than one...

Skewbrow · « **Reply #4 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 13:08 »

Ditto. Like seven or so.

I think that the introduction of tSB and its staff will have the biggest impact on the future of QC.

I'm happy for Faye that her career in sculpting may kick off?

I'm happy for Marten and the band (not forgetting Padma)?

Happy for Faye & Angus.

Happy for Dora & Marten talking it over.

Happy that Momo, Marigold and Hannelore continue to work on their respective problems (sort of).

And a special mention to the audiosexuality strip that caused me to waste hours listening to dubstep from youtube.

Moment of the year was clearly "THIS PLACE IS A BUTT AND YOU ARE ALSO A BUTT".

HEY!!

Where are the Waffles??!

akronnick · « **Reply #8 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 16:06 »

Surprisingly, for all the attention they get in the WCDT polls, waffles were conspicously absent from QC this year.

jwhouk · « **Reply #9 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 16:34 »

Changed the poll to include the "THIS PLACE IS A BUTT" comment. I cannot, however, make it a multiple choice poll after the fact, sorry.

Welu · « **Reply #10 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 17:35 »

I wanted to vote on a bunch. It was between Faye and Angus - CONSUMMATED! and GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER! (Amir!). I went for the band.

Also Duck Duck Boobs was pretty amazing.

Cornan · « **Reply #11 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 17:50 »

I had to go with "BROS! BROS! BROS!" because it's become a running gag with my girlfriend and I. We live in a college town so we have occasion to note the sight of bros on a frequent basis.

DSL · « **Reply #12 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 18:19 »

Agree with the folks who like the BUTT declaration, but for me the moment was Hanners' followup.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #13 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 19:48 »

Hanners had some good lines in tSB. In addition to the THIS PLACE IS A BUTT (which I voted for), there's also KNIFE KILLER.

Tova · « **Reply #14 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 20:53 »

Holy epic poll, Batman!

No cop-out waffles option YESSSS.

Watched Pot · « **Reply #15 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 20:59 »

Damn, Marten. Metaphorically, of course.

CrowFairy · « **Reply #16 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 21:05 »

Comic made me smile just now.

Good stuff to think about.

Also, I picked the one for Angus and the "L-word" because of its significance. Faye and Angus have had all this stuff going on for so long, and Faye showed one of her biggest changes since the strip began from something that was a defining feature of her character. It feels to me like the most important thing that happened this year; sorry, Marten.

WAYF · « **Reply #17 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 21:09 »

I voted for Faye and Angus consummating their relationship, because that is the moment that defines a lot of what happened this year, and what will happen next year. Presumably.

Now, Elliott does have some good points there, BUT in fairness to Marten, Elliott burst into tears when he became aware of Padma's attraction to Marten.

Also, Elliott is a lot bigger than Marten, and it's hard not to be intimidated by him.

Elliott's not really aware of how Marten's love life has been since QC began though, so I'll forgive him and say that he does make a good point, but it doesn't apply very well to Marten's specific situation. I don't fault Marten at all for having that reaction, given how things usually go for him.

jwhouk · « **Reply #18 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 21:27 »

If he knew how many punchings he received at the hands of Faye, he'd forgive him for flinching.

DSL · « **Reply #19 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 21:28 »

I agree completely with what Jeph has Elliott saying in 2081 (it's uncomfortably close to home), but I think this may be the most directly preachy the strip has been since the early days.

Also, it's official: Put some damn pants on, Marten.

celticgeek · « **Reply #20 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 21:30 »

I figure that Marten will run into Padma on the way home, and she will also tell him to go home and put some pants on.

jwhouk · « **Reply #21 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 21:32 »

So - since our Fearless Leader is getting a buffer together, here's my plan for the MOTY voting: I'll run the first round through tomorrow afternoon US Eastern Time (probably around 4-5 EST), then cut down the options that got no votes and reset the poll.

And c'mon, Marten - go put some pants on.

Either that, or take the boxers off!

celticgeek · « **Reply #23 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 21:39 »

Also pretty likely, too.

Agreed. I've had just about enough of Jeph's pro-pants propaganda.

He's definitely wearing the pants in that conversation.

Tova · « **Reply #29 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 22:23 »

Oh, well said, Elliot. I want to change my vote for moment of the year. Forum-goers, pay heed (I'm including myself in that).

$5 in the pun-ishment jar, now.

That said, Elliot is really showing he's the bigger man in this situation. *drops $5 in the jar*

Mr. Doctor · « **Reply #31 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 22:28 »

Am I the only one that felt that this strip has more of a Friday-feeling than the previous one?
I'm pretty sure that it would have meant a lot of conversation during the weekend

I've changed it for you. But I have given a limit of just three votes each - after all, a poll is about choice, not just saying that everything is great.

If you've voted, and want to add choices, you have to remove your first vote and cast your votes again - so I enabled that as well.

DrPhibes · « **Reply #35 on:** 18 Dec 2011, 23:33 »

Yeah, Elliot is a cool guy. Marten seems a bit sad it's not a secret.

Elliott's being 'happy' for the two of them, kinda suggests that whatever Padma told her friends she doesn't think of it as just a fling. Am I reading too much into this?

I find it very creepy how much like Elliot I am sometimes. Even creepier as the past few Marten/Elliot interactions that have happened have basically been how I'd react if I were in either one's shoes.
