And here we go (Yeah, yeah, I know - Imma gonna be a bit busy tomorrow).

[cesium133]

Clearly a freak snowstorm is going to hit Massachusetts in the summer. 

Reminds me of the time I had to explain to a girl from Baltimore why a ski resort in western PA didn't have any snow in July...

[cesariojpn]

Marten returns to the library, and the first thing? Tai's RIGHT HOOK!

With Scott Pilgrim-esque speed lines!!

A freak snowstorm hits Central Mass, trapping everyone at COD!

I voted this because I want to see a re-enactment of Mafia 5

Marigold was the last Werewolf.

[DSL]

I voted for "Mom follows Claire and Marten" only because it made me think of the whole series of limericks which begins "There once was a man from Nantucket."

No, not the X-rated version.

Yes, there's a G-rated version.

[Zebediah]

What, no option for a zombie apocalypse arc? I want to see Faye really use that sword!   

[Cthulhu]

I seriously would like to see more about the other characters and its not even an option 
well its faye right there but cmon we've seen enough of her fighting... right?

[Method of Madness]

Yes, there's a G-rated version.

The G-rated version makes me angry. A limerick only has five lines, there's no excuse for rhyming a word with itself, and it does it with all three verses! For shame.

Edit: Look three posts down before responding to this.

[TinPenguin]

I'd argue that it's not quite rhyming with itself, as in the final line it's used as a pun.

[Loki]

Technically, it's a homophone 

[Method of Madness]

Yeah, I'm not proud that I totally missed that. 

(Didn't really look that carefully, but still, should've seen that, damn)

The site is down

Yup

All I get is

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[jwhouk]

And yet the forums are up...

OMFG this is so funny!

ON A SIDE NOTE IM FREAKING OUT WTF WTF WTF

[Cthulhu]

Im sorry i'll just try and calm down, i've been reading this for less than a month, does this happen often?

[jwhouk]

No, it's not.

The site is down, we are apparently being DDOSED, we’re working on it.

I’ll put the comic up in tumblr in a bit

Tumblr = jephjacques.com, by the way.

[SomeCanadianWeirdo]

So it wasn't just me.  Installed IE10 yesterday, so it wouldn't have surprised me if something odd was gong on here.

[Cthulhu]

WHAT?! why would someone ddose a comic blog?! whats wrong with the world im so angry right now

[jwhouk]

I just wanna know how Paul et al. managed to get the forums subdomain back up first...

And I have three guesses:

1. Might be the domain name (most likely).
2. Might be someone who doesn't like the GLBT angle of his recent stories (though I have my doubts).
3. Might be random (which I'd rank as second most likely).

[Cthulhu]

Well they can´t ddos us forever, may be they just droped it, there probably is a 4chan post with lots of 12 yearolds with the mentality of a retarded nazi loling because our site is down ( if anyone reading this happens to be a 4chaner i dont mean to insult you im just really mad)

[The Iron Rose]

Really? It's the 4chan part you thought someone would be offended about?

Also, NCS?

[jwhouk]

And we have a comic over at aforementioned jephjacques.com...

Gee, Faye, speaking from experience?

Faye's hair has grown WAY out since we last saw her. Or more correctly, "Up".

[jwhouk]

Also, NCS?

NCS = Non-Consensual Snuggles. It's from the Angus/Marigold incident of the same name.

[Redball]

She's looking good! Much as I like Hanners and the others, Faye's been my favorite from the start.

[The Iron Rose]

Also, NCS?

NCS = Non-Consensual Snuggles. It's from the Angus/Marigold incident of the same name.

Oh well isn't that lovely.

[Cthulhu]

Well probably the whole insult thing is offensive really, what the fuck just about everything can result offensive to someone else.

Oh its a good thing you asked, because i know ncs as non consesual sex and i just didn´t get a thing.

[Shogouki]

WHAT?! why would someone ddose a comic blog?! whats wrong with the world im so angry right now

Girls with Slingshots has been DDOSED several times in the short time since I started reading.  I'm going to go with the explanation that whoever is doing it must really need a hug right now.  A firm, vice-like hug.  Probably right around the testicles.

[de_la_Nae]

NCS probably equals Non-Consensual Snuggles. Jephzibah made a comment about those when Marigold snuggled up against dozing Angus that one time I think.

There actually *were* some people over at 4chan who expressed irritation that Claire was trans*. While this forum community is vaguely-small most of the time I think, the comic does get a lot of readers. In addition though there's always someone griping over there about something, whether it's comic artists getting injured (Jeph's hand injury, Rich Burlew's hand injury, etc.) or something else.

Who knows though. I've never been able to figure out why Danielle Corsetto's comic gets hit as often as it does.

Cripes.

[Cthulhu]

OH thank you thank you thank you! also i was missing Faye already, i just love the way she's changed over time, i think this new comic was a good way to resolve the situation, even tho i would've liked seeing Marten and Claire travel together all awkward like, but im sure we'll have time for that in the future, the whole awkward situation that is.

[The Iron Rose]

Just. Stop talking.

You're very bad at this.

Compassion is apparently not a thing on the internet. Douchebaggery however, is.

[Is it cold in here?]

The level of comfort Marten and Faye have in each other's company is a staggering change from how they started out.

Claire, it's not too late to throw up on him and engage in some nonconsensual CBT.

[Shogouki]

And please, no Tasha Yar.  You KNOW what happens to her and I doubt most* of us would enjoy that.

*Apparently 4Chan might...

Oh come on give me a break, if ever im expected to freak out this is the situation right here.

[TheEvilDog]

What good can freaking out ever do? Things like this happen, we can't help it, but it happens. We can't do much except wait for the problem to be resolved by those who are in a position to do something.

[Cthulhu]

Thats the thing about freaking out, you arent really in control of things. But never mind lets drop this subject, i've had enough for today beautiful people i'll go die for a while.

[GarandMarine]

It's okay Martin! My Sub-Conscious is so subtle it forgets what's it's trying to do!

Then the ponies come and everything is wonderful.

Also boo DDOS attacks.

Finally, I'm thinking the Tasha Yar routine is most likely here. Claire knows what happened, she's just going to refuse to acknowledge it for one reason or another.

Warning - while you were typing 3 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.

Yesh hahaha.

Noooo!  Then there will be condensed evil tar creatures, and death, and time travel, and finally some evil chick who looks just like Claire!

[WAYF]

I'm less freaked out than you, Cthulu, but no less offended on Jeph's behalf.

"A distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) occurs when multiple systems flood the bandwidth or resources of a targeted system, usually one or more web servers. This is the result of multiple compromised systems (for example a botnet) flooding the targeted system(s) with traffic. When a server is overloaded with connections, new connections can no longer be accepted."

It's a really awful thing to do, when you think about it.

On a lighter note,

I suspect Marten is just not in the mood to deal with apologetic / freaked out Claire at the moment and just wants some shut-eye before having to deal with it tomorrow.

At least Claire didn't headbutt him in the crotch.

Who called it?!

[Is it cold in here?]

Claire may have pretty limited experience with close human interaction. I bet she has no idea how to handle it.

[Method of Madness]

I'm a little disappointed that they didn't show the car ride home, I wonder how they'll handle the first day back at work. Glad to see the forum's back up, though.

Direct link to the comic.

Is it just me, or has Faye lost a lot of weight?

[cesariojpn]

2. Might be someone who doesn't like the GLBT angle of his recent stories (though I have my doubts).

Maybe they didn't like Jeph being such a cocktease.

I honestly laughed when the eating cereal strip went live. 

[KOK]

Yes, there's a G-rated version.

The G-rated version makes me angry. A limerick only has five lines, there's no excuse for rhyming a word with itself, and it does it with all three verses! For shame.

The sequels are not part of the original limerick. And it is not really the same word, it only sounds similar.

[K1dmor]

 In the next strip we'll see Claire saying almost the same to...who? Tai, Emily, Clinton?

 Glad the forum is up again; it was your all fault Pilchard 
 

DOS questionablecontent.net with machines that all have relevant hostnames? That would probably get his attention, though I'm not too sure he'd appreciate it...

et al

4chan is just concentrated internet, cutting out most of the places Young Adult Males don't frequent. It can be compassionate or coarse, rude or polite, accepting or phobic. A certain term that used to mean a bundle of sticks is used casually, and it is the birthplace of bronies and, I just learned, now has a /lgbt/ board. Trying to pin it down is a fools errand.

 It is, to my knowledge, no longer frequented by those who like to use DDOS and related tools. They likely have nothing to do with this. But hey, the only boards I ever looked at with frequency were /wg/ and /trv/.

As for the thread on /co/, it appears that beside the vulgarity, they favor the same pairing/s most commented upon here.

[Emoroffle]

That line about Marten's subconscious reaching a disturbing level of subtlety made me laugh. This is why I love this comic.
