New week, new Poll

Complaints to be made in front of The Pit of Doom.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #1 on:** 06 Oct 2013, 18:52 »

Great, now I've got this image of Faye, in a chainmail bikini kicking some guy in the chest while screaming, "THIS. IS. NORTH. HAMPTON!"

Kugai · « **Reply #2 on:** 06 Oct 2013, 19:07 »

I've always pictured her dressed like Xena and yelling "THIS IS COFFEE OF DOOM!!!"

I like the looks everyone was exchanging. Everyone knew it was a ruse.

"You're safe, now" she said, laying a hand on his chest...

Careful Dora!

Nah, that doesn't work, since the words are merged together, and NORTH AMPTON with a pause would just sound cockney.

Dora should just be thankful that Dale isn't in plaster or something. Or had an incident with the Malaysian Battle Spatula.

Exactly. That's why Faye didn't immediately delegate it to Dale.

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #12 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 04:18 »

I still don't know why they keep the Malaysian Battle Spatula around, those things are dangerous!

Over all I found this highly amusing.

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #13 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 04:58 »

It's an integral part of Dora's combat cutlery collection, which she keeps at the store for the same reason as the broadsword.

DSL · « **Reply #14 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 05:18 »

No combat kitchen is complete without the War Whisk and the Tactical Tenderizer.

celticgeek · « **Reply #15 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 07:35 »

Or this: Combat Kitchenware.

FunkyTuba · « **Reply #16 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 12:06 »

Actually, compared to the other jobs in his montage during the May weeks, this looks like Dale's best gig in a while.

Kugai · « **Reply #17 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 15:30 »

He's been surprisingly cool about the hazing.

I think he's gonna stick it oul.

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #18 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 16:43 »

What hazing?
Faye hasn't, apparently, sent him out for a box of spider-traps or a can of raccoon-be-gone or anything yet. Even the sword fighting is technically business-relevant given Dora's stated purpose for the sword under the counter.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #19 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 16:58 »

She hasn't tried the initiation ceremony yet either.

maxh · « **Reply #20 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 19:22 »

Aaaaaand… there's the hazing!

Zebediah · « **Reply #21 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 19:33 »

Comic's up a bit early... and does Tai climbing on him count as hazing?

Hahah. Ah the trials of being tall. Poor Dale.

~~mustang6172~~ · « **Reply #24 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 20:33 »

This is foreshadowing. Someday Tai will have to climb on Dale to escape a flood. Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" will play in the background.

For some reason, the song that immediately came to my mind was "Threw It On The Ground." This concerns me.

I have cousins that would do this to me, until they couldn't any more.

I assume from the title that Jeph is comparing it to ice skating, which does involve body scaling. Not shoulder sitting so much, though.

It's Tai

That's all the explanation required.

He's soooooo tall. Especially in relation to Tai. It's like seeing a mountain peak--it just gives you that automatic urge to climb up and survey the world from the top.

Tai and Dale together in the last panel are hilarious and adorable--maybe one of my favorite bits of QC art yet.

Sorflakne · « **Reply #31 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 23:24 »

Interesting. I also have a friend (who is 5') who jokes about climbing me.

DSL · « **Reply #32 on:** 07 Oct 2013, 23:34 »

Tai, Sam. Sam, Tai.

jwhouk · « **Reply #33 on:** 08 Oct 2013, 00:14 »

Tai and Sam should never be allowed to be in the same room together. She would corrupt her.

And Sam might learn some bad things, too...

I assumed he was referring to one of the systems for classifying rock-climbs. Curiously a "dale" is a valley, an area of relatively low ground.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #36 on:** 08 Oct 2013, 03:48 »

Just another example of how Tai is willing to climb all over people to get what she wants.

~~cesariojpn~~ · « **Reply #37 on:** 08 Oct 2013, 03:53 »

Guess this might be the only time we'll see a man between Tai's legs.

I had a vision of Tai shouting "Who rules Bartertown?"

techkid · « **Reply #39 on:** 08 Oct 2013, 04:43 »

I'm too busy laughing and waking people up to come up with anything (currently about 10.40pm here). Tai is just too adorable in this one!

Welu · « **Reply #40 on:** 08 Oct 2013, 05:12 »

I think Dale is making up for the absent passiveness of Marten.

kyomi · « **Reply #41 on:** 08 Oct 2013, 05:46 »

So.. anyone notice how Tai can immediately change from pants to shorts while climbing someone?

Also.. nice Zero Puncuation reference in the poll :3

I haven't seen Tai "hup" since she climbed into Dora's moving truck.

Th-that's possible too. I've never rock climbed seriously enough to look at any of the scales for scaling.

You know, I hope Dale washes his hands after this.

Not when I viewed it just now. I did a forced reload, too, just to be sure I wasn't seeing a cached version.

THESE FORUMS NOW CLOSED (read only)

Poll

So, what's on Dales continuing training session for this week?
