On a side note, I am disappointed by the positive character development.

I feel kinda like Marvin the Martian.

"Where's the ka-boom? There was supposed to be a giant, earth shattering kaboom!"

Still have two days -- something could go horribly wrong yet.

That will be Jeph not providing us with Turkeys for the US Thanksgiving - the soloution of course is to provide use with turkeys next year for both Canadian and US Thanksgiving, so in the end , we all win.

[westrim]

Good News: US moves Thanksgiving to the Canadian date.

Bad News: The Christmas shopping season comes along for the ride.

[Method of Madness]

And with it...Christmas music .

[cesium133]

Iiiiiiii'm dreamingg of a whiiiiiite Halloween *blam*

*crickets*

[Nepiophage]

Especially this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a_Y1wAJ2MU
Health warning: Can cause nausea. If affected, do not shop or operate Christmas tree lights.

[Zebediah]

And with it...Christmas music .

This has already happened.

[PthariensFlame]

And with it...Christmas music .

This has already happened.

Yeah, this.  Where I am, the Christmas music started playing before the Halloween music did.  And it's liable to not stop until after Valentine's Day.

[hedgie]

There's some seasonal music that I don't mind too much: http://www.cthulhulives.org/store/storeDetailPages/AAAS.html

[Kugai]

Jingle Bells
Batman smells
Robin stole the sleigh
The Joker laughed to see such fun
And Batgirl said "I'm gay!"

[Barmymoo]

... what Halloween music?

[Is it cold in here?]

"Where's the ka-boom? There was supposed to be a giant, earth shattering kaboom!"

There's always a boom tomorrow.

[Kugai]

Ivanova is God.

[Zebediah]

... what Halloween music?

Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon
Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) - Concrete Blonde

Surely there are others, but those are the three that come to mind.

[Mr_Rose]

Ivanova is God.

Should have got her for Dogma.
Not that I'm anti-Alanis or anything, it's just… yeah.

[Midwesterner]

The Christmas music station here started November 1.

[HauntingPoem]

Christmas music is to me as germs are to Hanners

[RightInTheSquishyParts]

So that's where the nipples would have been.

Curse you Google TOS.

[Method of Madness]

No, I'm actually glad. And I'm also glad by "censor" he meant strategically placed speech bubble.

[GarandMarine]

You know you're doing it right when your partner can no longer speak coherently.

[RightInTheSquishyParts]

No, I'm actually glad. And I'm also glad by "censor" he meant strategically placed speech bubble.

I was being silly, but that's hard to tell through text isn't it. 

[94ssd]

I just bid fifty trillion dollars.

This is Zimbabwean dollars, right?

Actually the inflation got so bad that those don't exist anymore, so if you're trying to use Zimbabwean dollars you actually bid fifty trillion US dollars, at least for now.

[Platypodes]

Whelp, that was anti-climatic.

Or not!

"Where's the ka-boom? There was supposed to be a giant, earth shattering kaboom!"

Dora might know something about one of those...

I really laughed out loud at the look on Dora's face.  Also, I like the censorship; it'd be a shame to lose the tradition of funny strategic placement of random items that the strip has had for so long.

[LookingIn]

... what Halloween music?

Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon

Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) - Concrete Blonde

Beats constant replaying of Monster Mash and Thriller...

[Is it cold in here?]

It's fortunate that Jeph can make the modesty bubbles and modesty cats funny.

[Platypodes]

Is anyone else kinda expecting this arc to end with:

Marten: So, um, is Tai a better kisser than I was?
Dora: NO COMMENT!

[hakko504]

... what Halloween music?

This maybe?:

[LookingIn]

Is anyone else kinda expecting this arc to end with:

Marten: So, um, is Tai a better kisser than I was?
Dora: NO COMMENT!

Is that with or without her blushing and a smile on his face showing he is teasing her? 

[KOK]

How does dissertation compare to A-game? And what might some other steps on the scale be?

[Schmee]

Well, we can assume that until now Dora had only seen Tai's abstract.

[Is it cold in here?]

At some point she'd have to pass her oral examination.

[Loki]

So, uhm, is there some academic pun I'm missing in the strip? I thought "A-game" simply meant "the best".

Also, aww.

[Akima]

An A-game is just a game. A dissertation satisfies the examiners.

Nicely drawn Mr. Jaques! Not quite up there with the modesty cat, but still good.

[Soulsynger]

I think I'm gonna have to ask Tai's twitter for some pointers...

[Platypodes]

I was picturing Dora exasperated and Marten looking sheepish like he knew he shouldn't ask but couldn't help it, but your way might work even better. 

[LookingIn]

Also, aww.

It's a smart academic pun. In the US dissertations are done after extensive studies that require you to pass an initial oral examination before you are allowed to start researching for the dissertation.

Basically, Tai has a PhD in lovemaking 

[LookingIn]

It's fortunate that Jeph can make the modesty bubbles and modesty cats funny.

I still prefer modesty beers over modesty cats and bubbles especially when they come with threats associated with them

And here I thought that modesty beers (and straws) were generally an Evangelion thing.

[pwhodges]

Well that was ten years earlier, I guess - and also involved toothpicks if I recall correctly. 

(Correction - just a jar of something unidentified in the anime, but specifically toothpicks in the first "Rebuild" film.)

[techkid]

Tomorrow's comic: Every single character turns their head towards Dora's apartment and says:

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!

I'd be perfectly happy with the two of them walking in wherever they were going, clearing their throats and doing a simultaneous Booty Dance andnothing else happening during the strip lol

[Fluffy Dragon]

pretty sure it Dora meant to say "Was that your a-game?"
or perhaps her tongue hurts so much she's lisping.
(even though then it would probably be "Wath")

either way, I think we can safely assume that Tai and Dora has banged now.

[Neko_Ali]

... what Halloween music?

Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon
Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) - Concrete Blonde

Surely there are others, but those are the three that come to mind.

The soundtrack to Nightmare Before Christmas?
Heck, the soundtrack to any Tim Burton film?
Double heck, everything by Danny Elfman?

[Barmymoo]

Hmm. I guess I'd consider that to be music which is suitable for Halloween, but I'd never really thought of it as "Halloween music" in the same way that carols and certain really bloody annoying pop songs are Christmas music.

Considering the state of the bed ...

http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=300

Yes!  I don't think we've ever seen Dora and Tai dancing together, much less booty-dancing, and I know it'd be hilarious in a cute way...  Remembering Dora's very lady-like booty dance re:Marty, and then considering that Tai's used to dancing to techno at wild college parties, I so wanna see it.

Dancing could also be prefaced by Faye & Marty nervously asking them if everything's ok.

Of course, booty dances are usually for the first time a couple has sex, which this clearly wasn't...  But it seems to have been the first time for something.

[sitnspin]

http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=300

I, too, strongly endorse this idea. I might squee, and I never squee.

[Is it cold in here?]

Dora and Tai were not in the dancing strip.

[Kugai]

That confirms it

Dora is a dead woman.


Oh, and as for Halloween music, do you mean this?

[quix0te]

1) I'm not sure we've established that Marten is all that bad at relationships.  I know of only two, Dora and Padme.   I'm not sure if there is a list of relationship fouls, but he didn't seem to commit any that I saw.  They seemed, at best, a joint effort at relationship dissolution.  I'm not sure what would constitute 'bad at relationships' for dudes.  I dated very little before my first marriage, and my second foray was me in LTRs wherein I ended the relationships after six months to a year after serious soul-searching and a decision this wasn't who I wanted to marry.  (After 35 and wanting kids gives a diff. timeline than dating in the 20's).
2)Re: Christmas music.  LOL.  There is a vaccine for Christmas music.  Its freaking awesome.  I start playing these after Thanksgiving, pretty much continuously.  Have for years.  Anymore, when I hear the real songs, my mind just automatically inserts the 'proper' lyrics.

There was Vicky before that, and four or five others. The Vicky affair draws arguments, but no matter how you look at it Marten was communicating inexpertly.
