Is that a Kaylee frilly dress I spy or do my eyes deceive me?

One TEH find 'em.

Personally, I like the fluffy cake topper dress, but not for the bar. 


Not until later.

I dont know if thats the official name for a dress of that style but it should be!
Also it must be a bitch to get into.

[gopher]

Disappointed Claire went through a Smiths phase.

This. One of those also includes a hoodie. The other two are work-exclusives.

[Phenotype]

Is that a Kaylee frilly dress I spy or do my eyes deceive me?

Definitely. That has to be an intentional reference, it's too similar to be coincidence.

[mattcoz]

It would be appropriate if she were going to a mighty fine shindig, though...

(First post, I joined just to comment on the dress. )

Nicely done!  My first reaction when seeing the dress was "Kaylee?!"

[jwhouk]

Okay, for us oldsters who don't get the ref, someone care to explain?

[Sidhekin]

Okay, for us oldsters who don't get the ref, someone care to explain?

Based on the comments, I did the googling.  Some TV series.

[Mr_Rose]

Meet Kaylee Frye:



Chief (and only) Engineer of Serenity, the vessel around whose crew the TV series Firefly revolves. She doesn't normally dress like that, so it stood out when it happened.

[hedgie]

It's like a sheep prancing on its hind legs.

[Arancaytar]

Came here to see how many spotted the Firefly reference, not disappointed. 

[hedgie]

Disappointed Claire went through a Smiths phase.

Well, she never struck me as the sort who was aggressive enough to wear a "Morrisey is a twat" shirt.

[perlhaqr]

Aww.  I wanted her to pick the Princess Peach dress.  And then maybe Pintsize could show up dressed as Toad. 

[Shjade]

Must admit: disappointed she didn't go with the red flannel shirt. It looks really nice on her, that darker red under her lighter red hair! Maybe that shirt with jeans instead of the shorts she had with it?

Oh well, I shall live with my disappointment.

[Is it cold in here?]

Flashback to #2614, when Marten was wondering what to wear. That time, it resulted in Marten having a random hookup with Delilah. What if history repeats itself? You know, similar initial conditions will result in similar outcome. The universe is deterministic. The question now becomes who Claire is going to hook up with.

• Sven?
• One of the bros?
• Or all three of them?
• Or Jimbo?

(mod)Reminder to new people: don't use this post as an example of how we do things here. It was clearly an OTT joke but in general shipping and slash fiction are unwelcome.(/mod)

[Zebediah]

Well damn, there goes my slash-fic featuring flannel-shirt-Claire hooking up with Kaylee-dress-Claire. And it was such a thing of beauty, too.   

[TheEvilDog]

Well damn, there goes my slash-fic featuring flannel-shirt-Claire hooking up with Kaylee-dress-Claire. And it was such a thing of beauty, too.   

Wouldn't that be in violation of the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

[Pilchard123]

Only if you can't find a positive spin to put on it.

[cesium133]

Well damn, there goes my slash-fic featuring flannel-shirt-Claire hooking up with Kaylee-dress-Claire. And it was such a thing of beauty, too.   

Wouldn't that be in violation of the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

Not as long as they're in different states. Perhaps this calls for a trip to the Four Corners?

Either that, or they find their way to Arisugawas Locket.

[Zebediah]

And now everyone should understand exactly why shipping is so strongly discouraged on this forum.

Because it leads to PHYSICS.

[FunkyTuba]

Here to say:

I could watch a whole week of Jeph's dressing montages... doesn't really matter which character either

Sven walks into a bar. Ow. 

[Method of Madness]

I want a montage with Steve trying out different cereals.

[Loki]

Claire in the flanell shirt:

I am a lumberjill and that's okay
I sleep all night and I work all day.

Chorus:
She is a lumberjill and she's okay
she sleeps all night amd works all day.

Claire:
[...]
I put on women's clothing
and hang around in bars.

Chorus:
She puts on women's clothing
and hangs around in bars!
She is a lumberjill and she's okay
she sleep all night and works all day!
*chorus applauds*

[Method of Madness]

Wait, lumberjack isn't gender neutral?

[Loki]

Wikipedia tells me 'the term "lumberjill" has been known for a woman who does this work, for example in Britain during World War II.'

[cesium133]

I have to admit that I've been in a group of drunken physicists arguing about the optimum strategy for darts before... 

[jwhouk]

Better hope Georgette isn't there.

You mean your 20 slashes?

In the last panel, Faye's pants appear unzipped. Is this some quirk of Jeph's that I've never noticed before?

[Method of Madness]

Ha, that's actually an extremely brilliant loophole. I wonder if piercing studios actually do that (Jeph has many piercings, so he probably would know)

[cesariojpn]

I'm with Claire in the last panel. I'm a woman and I own a total of five outfits, three of which are "jeans and tee".

I knew one guy who just had seven shirts and seven pants. Made it easy to dress for the week.

I think thats the gap between her legs....unless my sense of the female anatomy is fucked right now.

[neurocase]

I really like this strip; it's nothing particularly fancy, but I'm getting a very "classic QC" vibe from it. Which, of course, could mean we're experiencing the calm before the S.S Questionable and all her crew sail toward Drunken Shenanigan Reef. Yarr, those be treacherous waters.

[Redball]

I agree. The Marten-Faye interaction reminded me of the earliest comics. And welcome!

[Nyithra]

In the last panel, Faye's pants appear unzipped. Is this some quirk of Jeph's that I've never noticed before?

Are you looking at the comic on your phone? On my computer screen it clearly is just a little thigh gap from her walking.

[Mafarfloune]

I have to admit that I've been in a group of drunken physicists arguing about the optimum strategy for darts before... 

There's another strategy than aiming for the triple 20?

[BrusselSprouts]

In the last panel, Faye's pants appear unzipped. Is this some quirk of Jeph's that I've never noticed before?

I see what you mean I think.  Faye's crotch is drawn a tiny bit higher than real life so the little triangle would be about where it would go.  At least as per my understanding of female anatomy . Then again I'm on mobile so it might be skewed a bit haha

[SomeCanadianWeirdo]

I have this suspicion someone at that bar is going to say the wrong thing regarding Sven, Dora, and Faye, and all hell is going to break loose.

[cesium133]

It depends on your precision. A less precise thrower should aim for the 19 instead, because fewer points are lost if the player misses.

Niel Gaiman has a fool proof method for avoiding clashing colors: black matches everything. Everything black, that is. If you only have black clothes, you don't need to worry about color matching.

[Loki]

Clothes can be bought in any color, as long as it's black.

[Sidhekin]

What's the new black?

[Lubricus]

What's the new black?

Puce is the new black!

[Loki]

What's the new black?

Orange, obviously.
Or depending on who you ask, purple.
Better wear both just to be sure you look stylish.
