I'd just like to salute Jeph for his great amount of fan service today:

-A Hannelore appearance
-A Claire appearance
-A banana smoothie joke
-Faye in her underwear

The only thing missing was a list of specials on the chalkboard.

[Is it cold in here?]

Is it more or less likely that the damage she sustained in that car accident was more extensive than previously intimated and that one or more of her limbs are actually partially robotic?

Likely or not, it makes perfect sense. Remember that the EMTs wondered why she had survived at all.

That's good enough to put in the Speculation section of Faye's article on the wiki. Want to add it?

[iduguphergrave]

Within the boundaries Jeph's created, i'd say that's entirely possible and would make a pretty neat twist. Maybe it's not her arm though, maybe because of the severity of her chest injury, she's got something mechanical under her ribs?

[pendrake]

For comic #2273...


1. Seeing Claire and Hannelore, I think it will be interesting to see if (& how) a relationship between the two develops, considering the ties to Clinton too.

2. I cannot remember the last time I was so positively/pleasurably used for venting excess rage .

3. For girls, you know you have probably done right when the guy you are with comes away cross-eyed.

4. For guys, you also know you have probably done right when the girl you are with comes away sweaty and satisfied .

5. @iduguphergrave... Missiles, after she got stabbed in robo-prison (#0131).

[Schmorgluck]

edit:
Btw... whatever happened to Tai's anchor tattoo? It seems to have disappeared in more recent strips. ... °O

Maybe it's a news anchor? Those can disappear from screens for no apparent reasons.

A mechanical heart?  How steampunk!  Or tin-mannish?


No wonder she has commitment issues...

Authoritative male voice-over: "Faye Whitaker, a girl barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild her. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic barista. Faye Whitaker will be that girl. Better than she was before. Better...stronger...faster." Cue slo-mo of Faye in a track-suit running towards the camera...

[Is it cold in here?]

Maybe they're fuel-cell powered and that's why she needs so much alcohol.

Or maybe... "Better... stronger... snarkier."
Slo-mo of CoD customer being jolted by snark.

[Midwesterner]

I personally think it would have been a bit more believable if you introduce a new girl that Dora just meets on her own and really digs her off the bat and tries a date than mackin' all of a sudden on Tai.

I just had one of those random flashbacks from the past: Anyone remember Amanda Whitaker? While that obviously didn't go anywhere besides hinting at Faye's past, I wonder if we'll ever see her again. (So how about this Kerry guy's chances in November?)

[Near Lurker]

She might be a good fit for Tai... not Dora.  She'd be worse than Tai for Dora.

I remember her, and I think I may have once thought of her as a possible pairing with Tai. But no. Just no.

EDIT: I just noticed a drop of sweat on Faye's left cheek. This, combined with her relaxed expression, makes this panel actually very sweet and sexy.

I was wondering where Emily was yesterday (seems odd to take two of the three interns) and now Gabby's mysteriously off-screen as well.  THE PLOT THICKENS (like a banana smoothie).

[idontunderstand]

Under the forearm crossing the chest to adjust the bra.  We saw the top of it peeking from her tank top here.

D'oh!

[cesariojpn]

jephjacques Okay, ONE good thing happened today. I got my Presonus audio interface working again. (still no idea what today's comic is gonna be)

Random Yelling Bird strip. Calling it.

[Tova]

Close. Guest strip.

Should keep the Hanners fans happy. Maybe.

[no one special]

Somehow I always imagine her as Chun-Li, with kikoken powered by excess rage.

Definitely a better choice.  Good god did they put some massive things on Chun-Li.  Totally forgot.

What, her quads and calves?  Oh, totally, they are friggin' HUGE!  Creepy.

[Madmartigan]

She might be a good fit for Tai... not Dora.  She'd be worse than Tai for Dora.

I do believe she was also 17 in her intro strip.

[Akima]

(Video of espresso machine exploding. Inexplicably, it's a different machine.)

And I thought I was nerdy...

Get well soon, Jeph!

[Sidhekin]

What's that special?  "erema"?  "crema"?  Oh, "enema"?!  Sheesh!

... worse thing, it could end up their most popular special ... if the wrong crowd gets wind of it ...

You are. I've just had more experience.
Also, get well soon, Jeph.

I swear that Jeph answered this in one of his Tumblr dumps, though I cannot find it for some reason. If I recall correctly he something to the effect of:
"I decided I didn't like it." Something like that.

[Is it cold in here?]

I do believe she was also 17 in her intro strip.

She was in college and didn't seem bright enough to have gotten in early, but on the other hand Dora did say something about "statutory rape".

[cesium133]

Depending on the school district's rules, it is possible to graduate high school and begin college at 17 without skipping a grade. In the school district I went to the rule for starting kindergarten was you had to turn 5 by December 31. My birthday is in December, which means I began kindergarten when I was 4, and so I graduated high school when I was 17. I turned 18 in December of my first year in college.

[jwhouk]

By now, Amanda is likely in her 20's and probably either finishing up school or long since gone from it.

The amount of people battling depression this time of year is noticeable, if not slightly alarming. Yes, the events of 11 years ago might have something to do with it in some circles, but still.

It doesn't help that the weather has changed a bit, especially in my neck of the woods - literally; we have a frost warning out for tonight, as it's actually going to get down below freezing in some areas.

[Platypodes]

RUN, Angus!!

...Or not!

Just wanted you to know that your comment was the first thing I thought of when I read #2273.  Having laughed at the comment when it was new, I was amused all over again that Angus was indeed the target but in such a favorable fashion.

This. I didn't turn 18 until my first year of college, in late October. Then there's dual-enrollment to factor in - technically I was a college student around 15-16 because of that. On the plus side, I did have my English 101 and 102 and my first year of Japanese done before I graduated, and all on the school's dime besides the textbooks.

[jwhouk]

Comic.

 

[Daniel Patrick Moynihan]

The concernbrag, the humblebrag's douchey best friend that pretends to have your interests at heart.  Marigold handled that perfectly.

[ElvisRevenge]

Man, I can't imagine jerkin it with a robot in the room, turned on or off.

I kinda hope the next comic is Momo being pissed about it and having a civil discussion with Marigold about it.

shlup shlup shlup

[Renewman]

LOL Well know we know Marigold likes it from the back.

[helloandgoodbye]

While this comic was funny, it seemed rather...OOC for Marigold.

I know she's not like Hanners, but I thought she would be kind of reserved/embarrassed about that kind of thing?  I GUESS EVERYTHING I THOUGHT WAS WRONG. 

[DSL]

Marigold could be QC's demonstration of "nice person pushed too far, then snaps." I've seen it, I've been there, and I've worked with people who refused to believe in it until it blew up in their faces.

Interesting dynamic in that apartment, though. Douchiness rolls downhill. Plenty of reasons to want to take Angus out for a what-the-hell talk for the way he manipulates people for amusement, but Marigold's attitude toward Momo since she upgraded her chassis has been one of neglect and resentment. Jeph's setting the stage for something, but as usual, it'll take a while to mature and it probably won't be a big blowup. But it could.

[SomeCanadianWeirdo]

Another 17 year old university freshman here.  I was only one for a month and a half however, since my birthday is in  mid October. Boy that was a long time ago.  Jeph was starting kindergarten when I was a freshman.

I dunno, was Momo's comment implying that Marigold was being a bit hypocritical, or that she wasn't masturbating at all?

[Renewman]

This is the same girl who is obsessed with yaoi. I doubt she would be so reserved about sexual type things especially when it's a guarantee she looks at hentai and yaoi on a daily basis. Also, Marigold brought up a good point.  You don't always have to let people know about what's going on in your sex life when it's obvious as hell. I remember when I was stationed on Okinawa (Air Force), and my buddy would bring his girlfriend back to his room. Of course since he was next door, I could hear all the screaming and sex going on but I never made a mention of it when I saw him later that day. It was an unspoken understanding. I totally understand where Mari is coming from.

ON THE OTHER HAND THOUGH

BTW, anyone else notice that the symbol on Marigold's shirt is also a reference to a certain position, if you tilt your head the right way?

You could always get the AnthroPC to participate... 

[Is it cold in here?]

Creepiness alert.

Would Marigold have done the same with a human in the room? If not, then she's not treating Momo like a human. Momo wants to be treated like a human. Conflict brewing.

[Yarin]

"PFFTHBLTH?" was she trying to summon Cthulhu 

[iduguphergrave]

Yes, people, because there's no possible way Marigold was JOKING about all that to freak Angus out. If that were a habitual thing, Momos reaction would probably be different. Marigold is a good friend; she did surprise Momo with the trip to get a new chassis, so presumably Mar-bear was perceptive enough to realize she wasn't happy in her current body. And even though she obviously ended up paying a lot more than she'd planned to, she still bought the chassis with little hesitation. Marigold treats Momo like she treats everyone.

What Gravey said. I'm pretty sure that didn't actually happen, just more of a "I don't need to know and this is what it's like when you tell me these things".

[Is it cold in here?]

That makes perfect sense, but then I don't quite get Momo's reaction.
