EDIT: I should add, I had to go back through most of the entire archives to find each t-shirt Marigold wore. It's nothing short of amazing.

MMM-C outfit because if it doesn't work (not likely, but whatever) she can pass it off as cosplay for animé night.

"I'll skip wearing the chemise today", said Marigold shiftlessly.

Is recommending that she wear clothes without holes in them a way of saying "Sack up, Marigold!"?

Didn't notice the Yotsuba poster on Marigold's wall before.  Is Jeph a 4channer by any chance?  I doubt it but you never know...

 He probably knows Yotsuba because he's a fan of Kiyohiko Azuma's work.

No, she's always been about roughly a half-head shorter than Marigold. Compare it to strip 2001.

Some say that beneath his helmet is another helmet, and that the royals want to look at pictures of his babies.  All we know is he's called Dale.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to forget you're wearing a hat or other objects. Unless it gets in the way of some action (taking off headphones, trying to put on another hat) if I put on a hat in the morning I will wear it all day and forget about it. I've seen people already wearing their glasses look around for them in vain.
I completely buy that Dale would forget he has a helmet on, though he apparently is approaching this night very casually, as he didn't change the shirt he's worn all day.

After a while, you don't notice wearing things like that anymore...especially when the punishment for premature removal is a beheading or worse  :-D

I quite often forget to take off my cycling helmet when going into shops etc. I've been wondering how Dale can see if his helmet is actually a trash-can lid. I don't think I've seen one with a translucent lid/visor.

One wonders if Momo's eel-ability will be called into play. This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

I absolutely love this strip's combination of buildup, callback-'punchline', and Marigold's complete unfazedness. Made me laugh out loud.

Marigold's attitude going from "Oh god" to "Nice helmet" demonstrates some superb pulling-yourself-togetheriness.

Bicycle helmets don't restrict your field of vision the way that thing Dale's wearing does. For me, at least, wearing something like that would be a constant annoyance, as every time I tried to glance to one side or the other I'd have to turn my whole head instead. I don't think I could forget it was on, but then Dale doesn't seem to get annoyed by much, so maybe he could. Maybe.

I have worn a hat for an entire presentation and not even realized I still had it on until someone mentioned it to me...get so fofucsed on everything else and you don't notice simple things like the feel or the impaired vision.

Most?

Here's a weird idea. Marten used to have the determination and initiative to rearrange his life and move across the country to pursue a relationship (not that it was a good idea, but it certainly wasn't passive). Did Faye break him? I don't think so, but it fits several facts.

(An idea that fits even better is that Vicky broke him).
