Be advised - I was taken over by a thousand Monkeys with English accents.

Skewbrow · « **Reply #1 on:** 15 Dec 2013, 11:40 »

Unfortunately the monkeys misspelled Hannelore.

RyanW1019 · « **Reply #2 on:** 15 Dec 2013, 11:48 »

Gonna go with my predictions in the last WCDT: Marigold will end up coming to her senses and apologizing to Momo, who will accept the apology. They'll make up and all will be good. (Note that this apology may be precipitated by an angry Hannelore who confronts Marigold. But all of us need some sense slapped into us from time to time.)

After that, it's possible that they return to the Dale issue, and they manage to convince Marigold to ask Dale out out of her own free will. At the very least, I think that it's more likely that Marigold will ask Dale out than the reverse, given Marigold has a support group of friends who will gently nudge her into doing it.

Fortunately, other Monkeys corrected it.

I don't think the Momo/Marigold thing is dropped quickly. There has to be some additional talking done either between Momo/Hanners, Hanners/Marigold, and probably Angus/Marigold with Faye adding some ribbing...

Loki · « **Reply #5 on:** 15 Dec 2013, 14:22 »

I will put my money on four panels of Marigold eating cereals.

In the fourth panel, Hanners shouts from offscreen: "Have you still not asked Dale out?"

Border Reiver · « **Reply #6 on:** 15 Dec 2013, 14:59 »

I'd put more money on Marigold eating Pocky, but you may be right.

WAYF · « **Reply #7 on:** 15 Dec 2013, 19:09 »

They BOTH ask EACH OTHER out. And they both fail, cause... that's what they do.

Hannelore goes to Marigold's place to go nuclear on her, and finds Marigold intently playing World of Warcraft. Marigold, not realizing Hannelore is there, farts loudly, scaring off Hannelore, thus defeating Nuclear Hannelore.

Each goes to the other's apartment. Neither is home.

Or they both attempt to call each other at the same time and HEADS EXPLODE.

...I forget which comic that was.

K1dmor · « **Reply #12 on:** 15 Dec 2013, 20:04 »

It was 2253.

The blush makes this comic.

Indeed it does.

Why couldn't an AnthroPC just sleep in her day clothes?

Momo in pajamas would be very cute.

Marigold, if I were you I wouldn't get into fights with someone who has a perfect memory.

Indicible · « **Reply #19 on:** 15 Dec 2013, 22:30 »

Flustered Winston is adorable.
As for the rest, well, Momo has better empathy and sense for human contact than Marigold. Now, that's a template for oblivious humans...

Shjade · « **Reply #20 on:** 15 Dec 2013, 22:56 »

Oh, Winslow. I did miss you. n.n

KOK · « **Reply #21 on:** 15 Dec 2013, 23:45 »

Is this some sort of competition? How many ways can you spell Winslow?

slydon · « **Reply #22 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 00:38 »

Hanners must be wearing off on Winsock. I don't remember him being so easily flustered before.

Why should she?

More efficient to keep them on until they actually get dirty, since she can sleep motionless sitting up and won't wrinkle them.

We've seen Hannelore's sleepwear, haven't we? In the strip with the loud construction outside her apartment?

Will Winslow want a humanoid chassis now?

Loki · « **Reply #24 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 01:27 »

Momo still does not need sleep, guys.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #25 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 01:54 »

~~I totally ship Winslow and Momo now~~, except I don't, because it is against the forum rules.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #26 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 02:34 »

My first thought was "n'aww, Winslow has a crush on Momo" and then I thought about it a bit more and realised that Momo's new chassis must have changed their relationship quite a lot. Before, they were roughly the same size and the human characters treated them as sort of entertaining pets. Momo now mostly seems to interact with humans and Winslow is still an entertaining pet, even to her to some extent. I feel a bit sorry for him, Pintsize isn't quite the same.

pwhodges · « **Reply #27 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 03:04 »

But Winslow was relieved to get out of the "boyfriend" body after spending a while in humanoid form.

Mlle Germain · « **Reply #28 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 03:05 »

Yeah, good thought!
Winslow has had a try in a human-sized chassis (which admittedly looked way more uncanny valley like than Momo's) and chose to go back to his old one. I already thought that he felt like quite a different character in that ark. I wonder if Winslow would switch now, given the chance - maybe seeing how Momo's life changed due to her new chassis.
(Unfortunately I don't have time right now to hunt for the link to this ark.)

Edit: Beaten to it by pwhodges.

KOK · « **Reply #29 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 04:43 »

So Winslow's screen can show color. I wonder if he uses it for anything but facial expressions? He wants Hannelore to use him as her only computer, but does he do word processing? Show movies? Video games?

Barmymoo · « **Reply #30 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 05:00 »

I don't remember clearly (my archive-fu is almost non-existent) but I think we've seen either Pintsize or Winslow hooked up to a TV screen, which makes more sense than trying to watch a film on Winslow's face (for a start, that's a bit creepy to my mind).

Unfortunately that may describe the typical electric can opener in the QC universe. Marigold needs lots of practice.

Hannelore gets a thumb drive full of sexy firemen. http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1219
Winslow catches hannelore on other computer http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1222
Turns out winslow doesn't want to be used for porn http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1223

My point is, it would be creepy to use an AnthroPC for porn... Or a fetish with the right one?

Third link up there, winslow says he can run all the latest software.

perlhaqr · « **Reply #34 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 08:31 »

Man. I'm not sure telling Winslow that she doesn't have night clothes is going to be quite as reassuring as Momo thinks it is. I mean, if the poor little 'bot is blushing now...

Is it cool if I save this video to my hard drive? I'm not COMPLETELY full of porn yet.

~~blacksinow~~ · « **Reply #36 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 11:08 »

I'll spare the chassis jokes for later and say that either way, Marigold is going to end up feeling like crap because one of them yelled at her.

Kugai · « **Reply #37 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 12:44 »

I wonder if she's already under the sheets.

And Winslow's cute.

Somewhere, I think in a Tumblr Q&A, Jeph contradicted Momo by saying that everybody sentient needs a sleep mode.

Marten asks Hanners if they could use Winslow to do an impromptu night of bad YouTube videos.

No sign of Winslow hooked up.

Yes, but the one I'm thinking of is something different. It was Jeph speaking directly.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #43 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 18:53 »

Jeph speaking directly doesn't contradict the highest level of canon (the comic itself).

Perfectly Reasonable · « **Reply #44 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 19:17 »

I have the uneasy suspicion that Hannelore is about to relapse into Little Hats mode. Except with Little Teddies.

I'd rather learn why robots blush. It seems like that would require blood.

HauntingPoem · « **Reply #47 on:** 16 Dec 2013, 20:54 »

The blush is on his screen so I presume it is a pixilated blush.

'Do robots dream of electric Beefcake?'

That Pintzie Angus background plot looks way more interesting then the current arc we're following.
