Course, one has to wonder how much time has actually gone by in the comic. I think he's only mentioned one change of seasons so far....

Loki · « **Reply #101 on:** 21 Aug 2013, 17:18 »

How does she actually get her hair done? I mean, surely she doesn't let any stranger with moving knives near her neck?

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #102 on:** 21 Aug 2013, 17:22 »

As long as they're clean knives…

Method of Madness · « **Reply #103 on:** 21 Aug 2013, 17:31 »

Maybe she has her piercer cut her hair?

jwhouk · « **Reply #104 on:** 21 Aug 2013, 18:10 »

Faye's cut her hair, so it's not unlikely that she can go to someone and have them do her hair.

In fact, Faye might have that as a side thing with Hanners.

Jeph has resolutely refused to tie it to a time frame but it's probably within a factor of two of being one year.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #108 on:** 21 Aug 2013, 18:32 »

A factor of two? As in, no less than half a year and no more than two?

That's a rather broad range, but yeah, sounds accurate.

I can't tell if thats Marten or Dora that Pintsize is leering at. The androgyny is........confusing.

Thanks for clarifying, because I totally read "factor" as "order of magnitude"

Remember the Star Trek episode where Kirk said the ship's audio sensors had been boosted by a factor of one to the fourth power?

pwhodges · « **Reply #121 on:** 22 Aug 2013, 02:05 »

No; but it's past. And Dora never wore that shirt; and never jeans of that design, I think.

Huh... I always thought it was more, though I can't really pin down how long. Maybe... three years? The time Dora and Marten were together seemed quite long to me, more than a year at least (from them acting like a long-term couple, living together...), maybe two. Before they got together, I would put down a timespan of a few months, like 4-6. And I think that since the seperation, quite a lot of time has passed again.
I know that there haven't been many seasonal changes, but maybe we missed these. I'm referring rather to how much character and relationship development there has been and how much has happened; how well everyone got to know each other. Half a year or a full year seems too short a time for that to me. Does that make sense?

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #123 on:** 22 Aug 2013, 03:21 »

Makes sense -- but they do seem to do things quickly.

Some people have tried to construct timelines based on changes of clothes and growth of hair. http://questionablecontent.wikia.com/wiki/Questionable_Content#Resources

LordVaughn · « **Reply #124 on:** 22 Aug 2013, 03:51 »

And now, the only comic where Marten will ever have a butt. Odd how I remember details about the butt of an individual, but have the worst trouble remembering someone's birthday unless it's close to a holiday or has some kind of system to it.

gopher · « **Reply #125 on:** 22 Aug 2013, 04:02 »

Looks like Pintsize's antics have jumped into straightforward evil again. Time to break out the gaffa/duct tape.

There's a tradition in my house of calling out 'gibberish!" whenever we're watching a ST (in any of its iterations) episode and a character (usually the engineer) drops into the techno-babble for which the series are so justly famed.

If I heard someone say that, I'd assume they were either an idiot or a very smart engineer with a very dumb client.

It goes to 11, and for $2000 more I'll sell you one that goes to 12.

Wow, that's less than $200 per...uh...that's a good deal! (And well done, Cesium, that's exactly what I was referring to)

I know it's Marten based on the "TEH" shirt, but seriously, the third panel has him drawn looking very feminine.

Not sure if there's a bug thread, but Comic #2318 seems to have vanished; the current one (#2518) has overridden it.

Shjade · « **Reply #133 on:** 22 Aug 2013, 11:54 »

I realize I'm a little behind on this one.

I dunno about you folks re: feels experienced comparison between the last two Dale/May comics prior to the flareup of guesting, but the "look at the stars" strip hit me harder of the two mainly because it immediately reminded me of another pair watching the stars before parting. So there's that.

That was the Party Montage strip.

Dammit, that's not the fifth harmonic. Do I gotta animate a version of Pintsize's ass to get some scientific accuracy around here!?

How can you distinguish harmonics in a twerking system? You only have two buttocks (I'm assuming).

cesium133 · « **Reply #137 on:** 22 Aug 2013, 22:31 »

I'm wondering that myself.

(click to show/hide)

edit -- thinking about it some more, even harmonics would be easy to produce, though they would involve jiggling of the individual buttocks (e.g. a fourth harmonic would appear similar to Pintsize in the comic, but with each buttock having two vibrational antinodes. It's still hard to imagine what a fifth harmonic would look like as it would have an antinode between the buttocks. Okay, I think I can imagine what it would look like, but let's not go there. Mind bleach, anyone?

Rghfrgl · « **Reply #138 on:** 22 Aug 2013, 23:25 »

I wouldn't have ran with both butt gifs myself. Or if guest pickings were slim I'd put them on opposite ends of the week.

I dunno there's some weird resonance between them. They just seem to fit together.

I have to agree with Rghfrgl and Akima on this one. Anyone unfortunate enough to glance at my work computer screen the last couple days would probably also agree. They probably think I read an entire webcomic dedicated to animated butt gifs... which isn't true... they're not all animated OR gifs.

Carl-E · « **Reply #142 on:** 23 Aug 2013, 08:19 »

Embarrassed to say I had to look up "twerking", though I could have guessed from context. Just wanted to see for myself...

It was an entertaining half hour or so. I may have actually seen some higher harmonincs... hard to remember, though.

DSL · « **Reply #143 on:** 23 Aug 2013, 08:50 »

Interesting that the actual Wikipedia entry on "twerking" is "protected" from editing except by registered users. Reason given: "Persistent vandalism."

It seems to be a highly voted / contested word in the Urban Dictionary as well. The #1 explanation has 8440 upvotes and 6074 downvotes. Apparently a lot of people don't like it.

Storel · « **Reply #145 on:** 23 Aug 2013, 15:32 »

Honestly, I would have been quite happy not seeing any animated butts this week.

Since when does Pintsize even have a butt, anyway? And if he did, wouldn't it be hard plastic rather than something that flexible?

It's one of those new materials an AntroPC can have....Buttonium. Kinda like how Volvos are made from Volvonium, which contributes to the way many Volvos can't get hurt in accidents.
