though we had a bit of a callback to them with Marigold and the ales, and the first sequence of Claire and the Scotch before "the sleeper awakened".  With the new CoD crew however we could have that translated into trying to come up with new Specialty Drinks, with disastrous results.

Marigold and the Ales is my Republica cover band.

I mean, it would still suck, but at least it would suck creatively.

...Sorry, I can't imagine Marigold singing "Ready To Go" with an appropriate Irish accent.

I miss when the comic was more screwball sci-fi-ish - the epitome of what I'm speaking of, although not a personal favorite example, was the feminist avenger character with the Moped Transformer robot who smacked Marten with a stop sign after he did something to his girl which this psycho chick perceived as inconsiderate (I'm fuzzy on the details after so long).  A more personally favored example was the space shuttle visit, with the killbots complaining they never get to kill anybody.  All that is what I think of as the most uniquely QC material, and I think of the more random slice-of-life stuff as being filler, even though it started out more that way and has pretty consistently been that way the majority of the time.

Using Random I started back at when Cosette and Steve first started going out and Cosette's friend, Luna, seems like she would be a fun character to see again.
