Well, since we seem to be doing the welcoming here... Bem vindo, YourEvilExGirlfriend.

[Kugai]

Indeed

And I see I've spread the Lug Wrench melting disease 


And the Cuteness continues in the Comic.

[celticgeek]

One lug wrench to rule them all...

[Kugai]

Beware the Eye of Tyremon.

[jwhouk]

Cute comic is cute.

I suspect that Shipping Control (aka "Cristi") approved the keel to be laid for this one.

[GarandMarine]

*three lug wrenches to the elven chief mechanics, seven for the dwarf forge masters...

[Smallest]

Aww, panel three.

[YourEvilExGirlfriend]

*three lug wrenches to the elven chief mechanics, seven for the dwarf forge masters...

Haha. Here. You have your honor back.

[GarandMarine]

I feel like we're going to get along just fine YEEG

[Kugai]

Batten down the hatches boys.

[LookingIn]

If Marigold's eyes got any bigger they might pop out of her head...and Dale looks like he might  burst a blood vessel if he cringes and harder 

[westrim]

Is it Friday?
*checks calendar*
Yep.

[Is it cold in here?]

Marigold was starting to look almost relaxed.

[Jazzmaster]

I'm finding this whole dynamic between Marbear and Dale rather "cute" - mostly because I can largely relate to the 'fantasy' of having couch time with another geeky girl. 

[McFace]

Cute!

How about this: At some point (could be in the next few weeks, could be in a bit) Marigold and Dale get together, leaving only Marten out of the main group with out a significant other (Hanners doesn't count).

He realizes this, flips, and does something incredibly stupid.

[Is it cold in here?]

If he displays the initiative needed to do something stupid, that will be progress in personal growth.

[Arancaytar]

You're really pretty!

LET'S HAVE A REASONABLE NUMBER OF BABIES

[nosaJay19]

eeeeeEEEEEE

[Perfectly Reasonable]

Marigold touched Francis York's crotch by accident and learned that his um, admiration was um, totally sincere. That's my head canon and you're going to respect it.

[Dr. ROFLPWN]

We're all so happy for them now, but I have this feeling that, like an Albino bat in a completely ahistorical movie about a Russian Princess once said, "This can only end in tears."

(Why? So that the tears of we who ship them can nourish Great Jephulhu. Damn you, Jephulhu!)

[techkid]

Your introductory posts have floored me, YourEvilExGirlfriend

I think Hannelore (last panel) says it all...

[Method of Madness]

I suspect that Shipping Control (aka "Cristi") approved the keel to be laid for this one.

I have no idea what this means.

[snubnose]

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!! 

Never was a simple statement like "You're really pretty" so well prepared to be a moment of awesome ! 

[Method of Madness]

She reacted the same way when Marten complimented her, although Dale seemed to have recovered at least a little better.

[Platypodes]

This whole date really walks the line between sweet and cringe-worthy. I really hope it ends well just because it would be so painful to watch it go badly!  At this point Dale and Marigold are both so vulnerable that I don't think I could laugh if they got into another misunderstanding.

Now, if the evening devolved into absurdity for some reason unrelated to Dale and Marigold's awkwardness, and instead of snuggling on the sofa they end up doing something on the order of chasing a squirrel around the house or being attacked by a maniac with a Vespa, I could definitely laugh at that.

Right now they strike me as heading for a "let's, um, do this again sometime" and maybe an awkward hug. To be followed by Hanners way-too-eagerly seeking spicy details.

[Oglokoog]

Between this and the current Gunnerkrigg court storyline, I really might die of cringeaww.

[ZoeB]

Yup - she is a girl in transition.
Before MoMo Mama Jama couldn't get her to either eat right or clean up after herself.
It took the help of unlooked for friends and combat level hazmat remediation to get things cleaned up and her on the road to joining the outside world.

Remember she is still on her first faltering steps even though she has come this far already.

This whole comic is about healing. Growing. Fulfilling potential.

[Barmymoo]

I feel like the moment is fast approaching when Momo needs to make a smooth exit but remain within earshot just in case - perhaps she will go and make drinks or something.

[Border Reiver]

She reacted the same way when Marten complimented her, although Dale seemed to have recovered at least a little better.

I think we might have seen a similar reaction if Dale had had access to something to drink right then.

[WilliamCA]

so i'm not really bragging but i am.  I called it, I so frigging called it!  But everyone said i was wrong!  But I called it.  I said this was going to be a totally awkward date and maybe some kissing and blushing.  So i was right.  Someone give me money please.  I'm desperate.

[Barmymoo]

Don't get too hung up on it, you are at risk of inadvertently veering into shipping waters...

[westrim]

Aye, Jeph has a monopoly on trade in those seas.

[jwhouk]

I suspect that Shipping Control (aka "Cristi") approved the keel to be laid for this one.

I have no idea what this means.

...Actually, neither do I. I had no idea how to say "I bet Cristi made him put that in there" while trying to be witty.

[Carl-E]

Why not just refer to her as "the Admiralty"? 

[Neko_Ali]

I'm not sure if this is what is confusing people.. but when putting together at least older wooden ships, the very first thing you put down (or 'lay in') is the longer spine that runs the length of the ship... ie the keel.

[Delator]

Big eyes are big. Tiny mouth is tiny.

I just keep picturing an ever tinier lip line in the last panel.

[Is it cold in here?]

This will be a success and good for Marigold if Dale winds up as a Justafriend. No need for more.

[pwhodges]

I'm not sure if this is what is confusing people.. but when putting together at least older wooden ships, the very first thing you put down (or 'lay in') is the longer spine that runs the length of the ship... ie the keel.

And we can't presume that everybody knows that Cristi is Jeph's wife.

[Storel]

I don't want to see a translated version.

No translated versions at all?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF0k4qV1I1Y&t=4m10s

 

But -- It -- I -- It's not a translation if it's in the original Klingon!

[GarandMarine]

I have an Orkish translation for thems that need it. The ORIGINAL Orkish.

*hums* Someone holds me safe and warm, horses prance through the silver storm...

One of my fond childhood memories is being driven in a horse sled around the Place Of Revolution. I remember the girl driving had long hair and I thought how beautiful she was. I was only what... five or six? I think it was less than that.

Moments like these in the dark of the night (heh) is when I wonder what could have been, and whether that other life would have been better. Consciously I know it wouldn't, but I suppose the grass is always greener in the hypothetical reality where little dwarves come out every night to take care of it.

[Carl-E]

I thought it was gnomes who took care of the lawn and garden...

[jwhouk]

Nope, just one mod :p (and I couldn't even vote for it since I'd voted already!)

[Platypodes]

Geez, y'all...  The top suggestions are "nothing" and "bikini"??  Look at how terrified Dale has been trying to talk to her when she's fully clothed.  He'd run away or go catatonic if she took your advice. 

[Method of Madness]

Well yeah, we get all the bad advice out of our system here and save the good advice for the advice threads.
