Wonder where they're headed? Doesn't Dora drive to work these days? Or at least take the bus? I think this conversation will continue tonight, strip-time ...

I guess they're headed to FAYE/Marten's apartment... it's not like right on top of COD, is it?

Edit: oops... meant Faye's/Marten's

Dora lives in Amherst now: she couldn't get her old place back after the breakup.

Carl-E · « **Reply #52 on:** 14 May 2012, 23:44 »

Faye's walking her to her car.

It's on the way.

pwhodges · « **Reply #53 on:** 14 May 2012, 23:55 »

Do we have evidence that Faye has a car? She took taxis to the airport, way back, and I've always assumed she walked around.

Pronoun misapprehension.

akronnick · « **Reply #55 on:** 15 May 2012, 00:50 »

Imma go ahead and invoke Bellasario's maxim on the whereto's and the whyfore's of Faye and Dora walking together.

It's just not that important.*

*Or is it?**

**It is not.

Kugai · « **Reply #56 on:** 15 May 2012, 01:54 »

Methinks thou doth protest too much there Dora

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #57 on:** 15 May 2012, 02:31 »

Oh no! Don't do it Faye! That's how Butts Disease starts!

TinPenguin · « **Reply #58 on:** 15 May 2012, 02:36 »

Hold in the fart gas too long and it travels to the brain?

idontunderstand · « **Reply #59 on:** 15 May 2012, 02:53 »

Merging with the brain and thus becoming a sentient being?

Mr. Doctor · « **Reply #60 on:** 15 May 2012, 04:01 »

Question mark?!

Jabberwocky · « **Reply #61 on:** 15 May 2012, 07:19 »

Mark has already been questioned. Next witness.

Soulsynger · « **Reply #62 on:** 15 May 2012, 07:23 »

Butts.

And also... what high school did Dora go to if she labels the
dude-I-like-with-kid-I-would-like-to-like-me-dates-someone-on-side-situation
as "high school drama"?

celticgeek · « **Reply #63 on:** 15 May 2012, 07:27 »

This one.

Soulsynger · « **Reply #64 on:** 15 May 2012, 07:40 »

I've just been discreetly archive'd ... bubble popped. $:-\$

cvcharger · « **Reply #65 on:** 15 May 2012, 11:06 »

Ah yes. Leave it to nuns to run a school where the students are taught to disarm antrhopcs and to treat babysitting for someone you previously had a date with as nothing more than high school drama. I wonder what else they have on the curriculum.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #66 on:** 15 May 2012, 12:10 »

It is possible that beating people up and stealing their cigarettes was an extracurricular activity and not a classroom thing.

Welu · « **Reply #67 on:** 15 May 2012, 12:51 »

If Dora's Catholic school was anything like my Catholic school, those were the basics in our Social Advice class.

Do we have evidence that any of the main cast has cars? I don't seem to recall seeing any of them driving.

celticgeek · « **Reply #69 on:** 15 May 2012, 18:11 »

Raven and Dora have cars.

Tai has a car.

jwhouk · « **Reply #70 on:** 15 May 2012, 18:18 »

Tai has one, as does Raven (her little VW bug), and apparently Amanda has one back home in Savannah. Steve has a pickup truck. Dora has one as well, but she forgets she has it at times (though I would have to assume that's changed since she moved across the river).

(EDIT: didn't see the link to #621. Raven's bug is shown in 423.)

iduguphergrave · « **Reply #71 on:** 15 May 2012, 18:34 »

Marigold also apparently has a car.

Carl-E · « **Reply #72 on:** 15 May 2012, 20:01 »

OOOh, good catch!

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #73 on:** 15 May 2012, 21:13 »

I'd forgotten that one!

Ms. Chatham does, of course.

Akima · « **Reply #74 on:** 15 May 2012, 21:35 »

"No hugs for you!" Sorry Dora, you fail at larva-bonding. Faye works at it. Is it me, or does Sam have the weirdest hairline ever?

It's been a long time between fart-jokes. There is apparently a foot/cycleway linking Northampton and Amherst, and the distance is around eight miles. Dora should cycle to work!

pwhodges · « **Reply #75 on:** 15 May 2012, 23:33 »

Not yet mentioned: Penny's car.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #76 on:** 16 May 2012, 00:13 »

Which might do double duty as the Pizzamobile.

slydon · « **Reply #77 on:** 16 May 2012, 00:52 »

Oh god, Hanners got the lips now! D:

Method of Madness · « **Reply #78 on:** 16 May 2012, 00:55 »

Not sure what that means...anyway, Winslow doesn't seem to mind.

...haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats.

Soulsynger · « **Reply #79 on:** 16 May 2012, 00:57 »

Nothing good can come of this. We're doomed. Doomed!

Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed!

~~cesariojpn~~ · « **Reply #80 on:** 16 May 2012, 00:58 »

Gothic Lolita? Sweet Lolita?

HiFranc · « **Reply #81 on:** 16 May 2012, 01:08 »

I guess Momo is feeling used at the moment. I wonder what happens when she realises being cute gives her power over Hanners and Marigold?

Ps.
On the poll question, I think that Sam already has started burning things and I doubt there's much that Faye could teach her.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #82 on:** 16 May 2012, 01:12 »

Is today's comic a reference to something in pop culture which I'm missing?

Kugai · « **Reply #83 on:** 16 May 2012, 01:26 »

Hmmmmmm

I wonder if there's an SPCAPC?

Welu · « **Reply #84 on:** 16 May 2012, 01:30 »

Lolita culture. Popular(?) in Japan and definitely popular among weeaboos. Although when I see it, it's usually Gothic Lolita.

Also, for some reason those little hats inspire hate in me.

Toe · « **Reply #85 on:** 16 May 2012, 01:43 »

Bit of an odd strip, but given the title, I suspect this might have been at least partly inspired by an exchange the other day on Jeph's Twitter:

Quote

@jephjacques: nothing like internet dudes drooling over my female colleagues to make me wish I had a human hunting license

Quote

@psychomanexe: do you find it not as bad or much worse than them hyper-sexualizing your characters?

Quote

@jephjacques: worse because they are real people

idontunderstand · « **Reply #86 on:** 16 May 2012, 02:18 »

OK, what the hell Jeph???

TinPenguin · « **Reply #87 on:** 16 May 2012, 02:59 »

bwwwwffffpffhahaahahahwhahasdfghgfjklahahahaaaaaaaha

is the closest transcription I can make of my reaction to today's comic.

VonKleist · « **Reply #88 on:** 16 May 2012, 03:12 »

I don't get it

unless there is nothing to get apart from Marigold and Hanners being hilariously creepy

then I totally got it

Aaaanyway, good comiiiiiiiic.

This is one of those "Jeph has no ideas, so he just draws random stuff" days, right? Because, seriously, wha-huh?!

iduguphergrave · « **Reply #90 on:** 16 May 2012, 04:17 »

They're purposely giving themselves a cute-overdose, seemingly getting a rush from the massive cuteness of Momo and Winslow. It's a little strange but then again we know Hanners loves cute things and Marigold's an Otaku so it totally fits lol.

Winslow is pretty darn cute

If this was a response to the Twitter peoples... scary! That being said, Neurotically Yours also suffered like that too. Humans, eh?

I would not so much call that a "cuteness overload" as than "massively disturbing".

mike837go · « **Reply #92 on:** 16 May 2012, 05:08 »

Whatever Jeph is smokeing/taking that inspired today's comic:

- I want some!

- Is it legal?

DSL · « **Reply #93 on:** 16 May 2012, 05:08 »

If it were a cute overdose, I'd ecpect at least Hannelore to be EEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee'ing, but she and Marigold are just one step removed ftom "BRAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNS" As Momo said, this feels wrong, somehow. And I don't like little hats.

Hanners and Marigold moght just both be drunk. Hanners might already be past the YELLING stage.

It doesn't look like they're drunk. Jeph uses a bunch of bubbles above/infrontof a character who is drunk. It just looks like Hanners and Mar-bear are playing a game on Momo and Winslow.

Tune in tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!

DSL · « **Reply #95 on:** 16 May 2012, 05:27 »

... or Winslow is controlling their MINDS. With his MIND POWERS that we thought were Raven's.

Because he likes the little hats.

Yes, they also come with the authority of the robot apocalypse force, standing watch and waiting for humans to slip up.

Akima · « **Reply #98 on:** 16 May 2012, 06:10 »

Momo doesn't look very Loli to me. Her hair and dress aren't nearly fancy enough.
