Marten RIPPING OFF HIS SHIRT to try to save Emily!

Faye actually giving a customer a COMPLIMENT!

Dora ditching the Leather Pants!

Sven not trying to pick up a woman!

Steve NOT EATING CEREAL!

Pintsize tossing bricks at someone attacking his friends!

Pizza Girl getting your Pepperoni with extra cheese to you in less than 30 minutes!

Hannelore performing first aid while SOBER!

May refusing to backhand some racist idiot into the middle of next week!

A poll without a QC meme!

Something Else!

[T]

Or a memento

[ankhtahr]

anyway, I like this strip. it's a good strip.

[mustang6172]

That butt-tourniquet is going to require a beach towel.

That's what Marten should have said.

That'd be followed by some punchin', let me tell you.
Cosette is probably being sincere, though.

[T]

Remids me of that scene from Hot Shots! 2

[Aziraphale]

You know, for a military spec case, Pintsize sure does seem to dent pretty easily...

Could be worse. He could have reactive armor.

What he needs is a nerf head that is more squishable.

Or maybe boxing/MMA headgear.

[Detachable Felix]

Prediction: Next week sees Marten trying to go about his life, but with literally every other character in the comic making tourniquet jokes at him on the way

[Neko_Ali]

And why is Marten friends with these people again?

[Kugai]

Masochisim?

[Is it cold in here?]

What he needs is a nerf head that is more squishable.

Are the pores in a mil-spec nerf head filled with nerf gas?

Cosette is just the person to ask for a tourniquet for a head injury.

What's up with Emily? That was something indistinguishable from social awareness!

*groan*

I'd think that would be more Raven's thing (wherever she is).  I always thought that Cosette was just clumsy and unlucky, not daft.  Although, depending on how hard she hit her head, that may be a matter worthy of consideration.

[T]

I think they are thinking about bandages and not really tourniquets.

So she is not asking to be strangled, just that Marten rip his shirt to create bandages.

[Loki]

And why is Marten friends with these people again?

Thanks. I wouldn't go as far as that, but my thoughts went into the same direction.
Unless of course they want a look at his upper body, but then they are going about it in the most ambiguous way possible.

Perhaps a head made of the same stuff that Super Balls are made of. Although that might tempt people to bounce his head off the wall more often.

It would have been totally worth it.

[TinPenguin]

They say you can choose your friends, but that's not entirely true.

[snubnose]

Hu !

I get why Faye and Dora would make fun out of Marten.

But ... why Cosette ?!?!

Thats kind of out of character for her, unless I missed something ?

Oh well, I guess thats a case of peer pressure.

I like how Emily supports Marten, though.

And why is Marten friends with these people again?

Habits die hard, they say.

[gopher]

Away and to the Secret Bakery. "Screw you guys, I'm going home"

[Tova]

And why is Marten friends with these people again?

The reason is that, for all the ribbing they give him, they would back him to the hilt if he needed help.

When did Cosette start working at CoD?

I think you guys are missing the "chance to make a member of the opposite sex strip in front of you"

Or a tarp But then, Marten might not have survived Faye's punching.

What's up with Emily? That was something indistinguishable from social awareness!

I agree, this is not Emily's usual weirdness. But personal development is part of the QC timeline, the characters tend to improve over time (except Pintsize, perhaps). As from now on, Emily is Marten's loyal defender, trying to protect him from the others' merciless teasing. Emily has probably been a victim of teasing herself, and knows how it hurts. But I am afraid Emily is developing a crush on Marten. This cannot possibly end well.

[mawile]

I like how Jeph made sure that Emily said "venomous" so people would quit emailing him.

[Thrillho]

I find it depressing that he had to bother.

[GarandMarine]

Emily is up to something...

Don't worry Mark, you were quite manly and bad ass jumping to the rescue like that. Sure you didn't need to, but props on the reaction.

[techkid]

I get why Faye and Dora would make fun out of Marten.

But ... why Cosette ?!?!

Honestly, knowing Cosette, hers was probably a genuine request. She's good (read: disastrously bad) like that.

[GarandMarine]

Apply tourniquet to neck

Cosette is the cutest ever in panel #3. I see no blood, but she probably needs medical attention, as usual. I imagine she is in the ER several times during a week.

[judemorrigan]

Did Emily ever see a doctor about the bite?  I mean, sure, it wasn't venomous.  But it was still a bite by a wild animal that broke the skin.  I'm hardly an expert, but that seems ... unhygenic at best.

[jwhouk]

She hasn't seen Hannelore yet.

I think you guys are missing the "chance to make a member of the opposite sex strip in front of you"

I'm multiple guys now ?

I dunno, if women really wanted to see us men naked, I bet at least 50% of us men would exclusively run around naked.

Warning - while you were typing the universe archived heat death. Or cold death. Or the big rip. Who knows. Either way, you may wish to review your post. On second thought, nah, its too late now.

Oh well.

[Nepiophage]

I see Cosette's eyes have reverted to blue agan.  They havebeen grey, blue and brow

Just because they want to see doesn't means that they want to buy.

[Perfectly Reasonable]

Marten and the corn snake:
There's a reason Sam calls them all 'Bitey'.
"Twas a very very manly thing to do". Sung to the tune of "From the Indies to the Andes in his undies".

Sam and Pintsize:
"Your instincts serve you well, young Jedi".

Or it'll end like this (N.B. Jeph's "news" post on this comic): http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2405

[Zwammy]

That was my first thought too, but I realized it's probably not what she meant. Probably.

[techkid]

I imagine she is in the ER several times during a week.

It's the recurring days she's not in the hospital that the doctors start to worry.

Brown: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2525

Contacts? She changes hair colors for different jobs; why not eyes?
Or will Emily one day ask to press her belly button?

[GarandMarine]

So thought, Emily is obviously still wearing the tourniquet, which has probably been reduced in tightness to "fashionable cloth bracelet". Favor from her big strong hero maybe? I mean this is obviously a ship tease from Herr Trollmaster General, his gloriousness Jephizba but come on! No one would expect that.

Yeah, my first reaction wasn't "Aw, they're all being mean to Marten", it was "Wow, look how many ladies want Marten to rip his shirt off for them!" 

[Is it cold in here?]

Like the old story of plotting the location of bullet holes found in warplanes?

No, she's actually a Founder whose hiding out from The Great Link.

The twist being, the rest of the Founders aren't looking all that hard.

Most likely it was a coloring slip but I have heard stories about people whose eyes change color with mood or light conditions.

By searching the Internet I found other people with similar claims. Probably the light conditions could affect how we perceive the eye colors and the blood pressure could affect the colors slightly but I didn't found any formal study in my short search.

[Zebediah]

Such people do exist; I'm one of them. My eyes are green but under certain conditions they appear light brown.

[Aziraphale]

Mine do that too... they'll go from blue to grey.

[GarandMarine]

I shift between blue, gray, green and brown.
