New comic.

"Whale Phallus Door Knocker" doesn't quite make it as a band name.

celticgeek · « **Reply #1 on:** 13 Apr 2014, 21:02 »

I think that just "Whale Phallus" would do all right as a band name. I'm not quite sure which music genre would be appropriate, though.

DSL · « **Reply #2 on:** 13 Apr 2014, 21:04 »

Based on the AI that was supposed to be Marten's companion, I'd say metal.

SomeCanadianWeirdo · « **Reply #3 on:** 13 Apr 2014, 21:25 »

Pretty hard to have a mom who is more sexually adventurous than you are, and doesn't hide the fact. Which brings the thought to mind about how wide a gap there might have been between Marten and Dora's range of sexual tastes. For that matter Dora and Veronica possibly share the same problem regarding Marten, they aren't always as respectful or sensitive to his sexual boundaries as they might be. That certainly was one of the things that seemed to have brought the problems in Marten and Dora's relationship to a boiling point.

I'd completely forgotten about that whale. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS?

Seriously though, I'd say it sounds like one of the many many names for Jeremy's Band from Zits.

Quote from: Jeph under the comic

But which species of whale???????

Thrillho · « **Reply #6 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 01:13 »

Aren't whale dicks six feet long? You couldn't make a door knocker out of that.

Schmee · « **Reply #7 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 01:18 »

Detachable Felix · « **Reply #11 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 05:56 »

Actually, the sperm whale's penis averages out at about 12 feet long, and its testes (which are internal), weigh over a tonne.

So not really a door knocker, more so one of those Victorian-era bell-pull-things.

Not quite - Wikipedia lists the Blue Whale as having the largest penis of any living mammal at an average of 8 to 10 feet/2.4 to 3 metres, with an average girth of 12-14 inches/30.5- 36 Centimetres

jmucchiello · « **Reply #15 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 10:25 »

Well, obviously you wouldn't use a 8-10 foot phallus on a normal 80" door. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have an truly huge door where such a door knocker would not be out of place.

(I can't believe I just wrote that.)

Off the subject of whale genitalia, but do we know how much time has passed in-comic since Padma left for California? One would think that with the implied/budding Veronica - Jim relationship, we might start seeing the Secret Bakery crew again, and I wonder if that might also open the door for another Padma appearance (provided she hasn't been eaten by an allosaurus).

Kugai · « **Reply #22 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 14:14 »

FunkyTuba · « **Reply #24 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 15:44 »

My guess is that Padma's going to be out in California until just exactly the moment when her reappearance will complicate Marten's life beyond repair.

Not beyond repair, just until it's necessary for the plot.

I'd rather see Renee come back instead of Padma. And hopefully Sam will come back in the upcoming plotline with some new antics to amuse us.

FunkyTuba · « **Reply #27 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 17:21 »

@reiver yeah I considered "perceivedly beyond repair to Marten" but that made the sentence totally not scan

ish

lot_jockey · « **Reply #29 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 18:58 »

I definitely had to read today's strip twice to understand what happened. Jeph certainly has teed up lots of drama...

douçaine · « **Reply #30 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 18:58 »

Uh oh.
Is the noise making Hanners shake? If so, they must be yelling quite loudly.
Or maybe she's freaking out about the noise. Seems more likely.

FunkyTuba · « **Reply #31 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 19:12 »

We've seen Hanners pin her hopes on certain relationships before... not sure if Angus + Faye is one of them but it could definitely be.

The Veronica/Marten thing might be triggering projected mommy angst for her too and the two are just building up into a Hannerpocalypse

Rghfrgl · « **Reply #32 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 19:29 »

Next comic: Everyone dies!

Comic after that, strip continues as usual, with Hanners putting all the bodies on the couch and voicing imaginary conversations between the cast about indie bands.

Jazzmaster · « **Reply #33 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 19:34 »

Been a while since we've seen an eruption of Mt. Ellicott-Chatham.

Dis 'gun be good!

PS: Angus did NOT look happy, particularly with Faye's drunkenness.

hedgie · « **Reply #34 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 19:42 »

Hanners now follows the advice of DJ Phalliz. This sadly downs the Marten/Claire ship, and VV/Wossname ships, but the comic continues, despite the collateral damage that is Angus/Faye. Hanners eventually goes on to create her "Special Plan for this World" which will be executed later... Apparently she's a fan of C93 and Ligotti.

My money's on a wholesale shock-and-awwwww sense-talkin', as only Space Girl can do.
VV will probably offer her a job after that.

SomeCanadianWeirdo · « **Reply #37 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 20:43 »

The whole mess is bringing out Hanners issues with relationships. Her OCD and related problems prevent her from having a romantic relationship with anyone, and now one of the ones that allow her to experience romance vicariously might be in trouble. Then there's Marten arguing with his mom, which has to be upsetting for someone who barely has a relationship with her own distant and emotionally stunted mother. Hopefully we aren't about to see Marigold walk in freaked out about something to push the pressure even higher.

What's scary is that Jeph tends to do the unexpected. Hannelore may explode in some new and previously unsuspected way.

Not the noise. It is what is said.

Loki · « **Reply #42 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 22:20 »

Yes. I believe it was mentioned at some point she hates when her friends argue. Remember how she reacted to the Marten-Dora-breakup.
She reminds me of myself, really.

The only question is, will she explode outwardly or break down.

Half Empty Coffee Cup · « **Reply #43 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 22:21 »

Things are looking to go south fairly quickly... I tried to break down the ways this could go and realized that, beyond a few possibilities, I really have no clue. Things get unpredictable when people are upset, and everyone present is.

I don't know what bothers me more...that Faye still gets defensive when people call her out on her drinking, or that Marten's mom apparently has the emotional maturity of an eleven year old.
