The Thanksgiving strip: Yelling Bird interrupts the turkeys with the proud announcement that "Tai and Dora [REDACTED]"

[Schmee]

"Marten and Claire [REDACTED]"
"Hanners and Marigold [REDACTED]"
"Everybody [REDACTED]"

[jwhouk]

OMG TURKEYS! And what, pray tell, will be their subject this year?

I hadn't even noticed the sheets completely pulled out from under the one corner of the mattress and everything all lopsided until someone pointed it out.

Dang.

[Kugai]

I wonder if they broke the bed.

[GarandMarine]

It's still providing a nice horizontal surface so I doubt it. I have found that once you break one, there is no laying in it comfortably.

[celticgeek]

Hannelore is such a helpful matchmaker.

[Rghfrgl]

 She's been busy on the chalkboard too.

[Schmorgluck]

This comic gave me the giggles. I particularly love Hanners' smile in the last panel. Warm and friendly, yet subtly sly.

[Method of Madness]

four or five others

Where's that from?

[Carl-E]

Marten told Dora that he had had four or five girlfriends before her - I seem to recall her getting upset about some aspect of it. 

Ahh, here it is.

[NotAwesomeAnymore]

Specials: You are very special

I love this.
As excited as Dale and Marigold make me, this isn't  a serious cliffhanger really. Jeph not doing it this year?

[Method of Madness]

Four from high school, plus Vicky means at least five, we don't know how many other girls he dated in college.

[quix0te]

four or five others

Where's that from?

Yeah, I don't know that either.  The only thing I remember is the series alluded to some girl he came across the continent to follow, and then stayed in MA after they broke up.  But it was all prologue.
I actually went back to the beginning to double-check.  It was 1) abortive relationship with Faye, 2)Dora, 3)Padme, 4)Chick on space station if you want to include her.  I remember because there was a whole "Are you SURE its okay?" with Faye when Dora and Marten started dating.  I mean, its been like four years since I first read the whole series, but I'm 90% sure there wasn't anybody between Dora and Padme.   
Edit:Thanks Carl-E.  Can you refresh my memory who this Vicky is?  Also, wow.  Dora really is/was kind of nuts if thats not play-jealousy.

[Method of Madness]

Dora and Padma are the only ones in series, but the comic Carl linked mentions his four high school girlfriends. He's mentioned Vicky in college (and we don't know how many others in college). We know he's slept with at least three people (I don't know if he slept with Vicky, but he lost his virginity in the back of a small car before the strip started).

[celticgeek]

The Vicki story starts here.

[Platypodes]

Maybe a little discontinuity, or maybe he doesn't count all the girls who "dumped him" in high school as having attained true "girlfriend" status, 'cause just recently he said he'd had "four or five girlfriends" with Dora as #4 and Padma as the or-five.  http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2569

I'd forgotten just how irrational Dora was while she was with Marten.  She's a lot more reasonable now.  Therapy seems to be doing her good.

[quix0te]

The Vicki story starts here.

Yep. I had totally forgotten that segment.  Of course, I read a lot of the series at 2 am during a divorce, but still....

[Zebediah]

I have done almost exactly what Hannelore did in this strip.

Except I got punched for it. See if I ever try to give him an assist again.

[Is it cold in here?]

I don't know if he slept with Vicky,

Almost certainly.

Is Hannelore being remarkably clueless or remarkably socially skilled? It's not something a middle-of-the-pack person would have done.

[Storel]

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!"

I think the look on Dora's face answers that question sufficiently. 

... 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.

Beats constant replaying of Monster Mash and Thriller...

How about the Zombie Jamboree?

[Akima]

Hannelore plainly believes in the shortest distance between two points...

[ankhtahr]

All I can think abour now:

[LookingIn]

Hannelore plainly believes in the shortest distance between two points...

She isn't subtle with Marigold, she already believes she should have a reasonable number of babies

[Lubricus]

Hannelore plainly believes in the shortest distance between two points...

She isn't subtle with Marigold, she already believes she should have a reasonable number of babies

With an unreasonable number of fathers, apparently...

[ankhtahr]

I also like today's special very much.

[Barmymoo]

Not necessarily an unreasonable number of fathers - one per baby is perfectly reasonable.

[GarandMarine]

I wrote a letter home from boot camp that was entitled the house of four fathers. I wish I could reproduce it, I could probably do a decent job of "guessing" at the full content giving I can still remember much of the emotion of boot camp.

So if a father is a male figure who has a significant influence in you becoming who you are today, I as a single human being have had many fathers indeed.

That would make my grandfather my father and my actual father...not much really.

[Stanzara]

Almost certainly.

I guess she's currently being both at once. And also wanting a reason to go all SQUEEEEEEE!

Depends on how you use the term you know?

[Barmymoo]

I consider myself to have three mothers, all of whom are married to men but only one of those men is my father (one is my stepdad though).

[Method of Madness]

So your mom, your stepmom, and...who else?

[Barmymoo]

My foster mum.

[Method of Madness]

Ah. Wonderful

[Platypodes]

Not necessarily an unreasonable number of fathers - one per baby is perfectly reasonable.

But if you want more, I'm sure they're working on that technology.

[Kugai]

Marigold will now go hide in the Bathroom

[CrowFairy]

Honestly, I would do the exact same thing. No clue what that says about me.

[Perfectly Reasonable]

New communications technologies give people more opportunities to be people.

Mmmm delicious turkey

[LookingIn]

So that made Hanners'/Marigold' strip a subtle cliffhanger. Well played sir, well played 

[Tova]

Pint'o'Blood, surely.

[akronnick]

Yay turkey! 

[celticgeek]

Wait!  What!  The turkeys are shipping?

[LookingIn]

Wait!  What!  The turkeys are shipping?

One of them is, but only through fanfic.

[Rghfrgl]

 I'm shipping Winslow and Momo.

'Slowmo

[Is it cold in here?]

The turkeys shipped Marten and Dora in 498 and got really off the beam in 1544.

[Toe]

I wonder if Blood Lord is related to Frog Lord...

[Loki]

Or the Skullmaster, Master of Skulls.
