[Kugai]

Another week of QCness begins

[BenRG]

Unless Jeph wants to focus on playing D&D with his new cartoonist neighbours...

Seriously, I think that we're down to two options - More Faye and Bubbles or the consequences of Claire's new piercing. Regarding the latter, I'm not sure how that might go. On Twitter Jeph admits that he wants it to work out for Claire but, oddly enough, the way he phrased those Tweets makes me wonder if it will blow up in her face, big time.

[Zebediah]

Comic's up.

Ouch.

[Rghfrgl]

I once pretended to flick a coworkers ear after she got it pierced and then accidentally DID flick it.

...she wouldn't talk to me for weeks.

[mustang6172]

I didn't see any rules posted.

[ReindeerFlotilla]

The first rule is you can't see the rules.

[chaospersonified]

It's confusing, but it works, somehow.

[cesium133]

Well, you could see the rules, had you not for some reason decided to get an eye piercing.

[electromgneticDstroyosaur]

Boops are off-limits!?  How will we survive?

[mustang6172]

Boops are off-limits!?  How will we survive?

1984!  Brave New World!  Other dystopic novels!

[swapna]

All right, Marten should have seen that coming, but I see why he didn't.

Still funny though, I like how Claire's hair all stands up! And directly in front of the 'YES THIS WILL HURT' Poster!

I must admit, I might even start to like her a little bit if she goes for decker librarian, but at the moment, I think she's just up for an awkward reunion with Clinton.

[hedgie]

Still funny though, I like how Claire's hair all stands up! And directly in front of the 'YES THIS WILL HURT' Poster!

The way it fluffed up does remind me of a cat's tail if you trip over it.

[BenRG]

Oh... Ouch!

It looks like I was right about this blowing up in Claire's face! Or, more specifically, I bet that Claire now feels like her face has just exploded! Nice job Marten! Still, it was only accidental and it is also quite cute the way that he can't help but be affectionate to her all the time. He really is falling in love with her, isn't he?

I'd really like to see the rules referred to here (I presume that they are for SOs' treatment of new piercings, possibly associated with the parlour's money back guarantee). No playing with new piercings probably is on there somewhere as is "It isn't our fault that you didn't believe the 'Yes this will hurt' poster!"

[Welu]

Gosh darn it, Marten.

[MrNumbers]

Oh.

Oh I really don't like this. This is not a pretty or attractive piercing.

[ZoeB]

Oh.

Oh I really don't like this. This is not a pretty or attractive piercing.

My opinion too. But that is of no consequence - the only one who gets a vote on this is Claire.

[BenRG]

Oh.

Oh I really don't like this. This is not a pretty or attractive piercing.

My opinion too. But that is of no consequence - the only one who gets a vote on this is Claire.

Additionally, I get the impression that Claire is in the process of emerging from a 'shut-in' period of her life during mid-transition. Consequently, she's experimenting with various looks and aesthetics so we should expect the occasional false start.

[osaka]

Marten whyh. That's common sense.

[BenRG]

Marten whyh. That's common sense.

"Oh my god, my girlfriend is cute!" always trumps common sense!

WCDT Strips 3041 - 30445 (7 September to 11 September 2015)

Someone is expecting Jeph to work overtime this week, I think.

[hedgie]

Jeph is caught in a space-time disturbance called "Canada", and time is moving at a different rate than the rest of the universe.

[chaospersonified]

Ain't that the truth. My mom went there for a week last summer. She came back 64 years old!

[SubaruStephen]

Rule #1: No touching.

[Y]

I wonder how the rules are enforced. It's not like he can give him a punishment inkless tattoo.

[RyanPm40]

Yikes that looked painful! I can sympathize with Marten- wayyy too often do I try and be silly and cute with my girlfriend and end up accidentally hurting her, like accidentally bumping a piercing or something  . The life of a clutsy, dimwitted boyfriend!

Somebody Gibbsmack Marten

[DonInKansas]

Somebody Gibbsmack Marten

Well played with the Gibbsmack.

Bullring; ugh.

[Neko_Ali]

boop

[chaospersonified]

I'm sort of realizing that the 9:15-9:30 time frame I've gotten used to QC updating might be different now that Jeph's a Canada man. I also realize that might be just due to his moving. I'm prepared to accept both possibilities, they are both entirely better justified than my prior expectations, but it's a bit odd at the moment.

[cesium133]

New comic...

...and now Claire's been exposed to a lethal dose of radiation.

[chaospersonified]

Oof, Hanners, you don't scan your friends until you know what the eff your scan machine does. Rule number 4.

[electromgneticDstroyosaur]

Claire's last piercing was eclipsed by Emily out of the blue, and now Hanners gets a scary science machine.  Will she ever get the spotlight to herself for a change?

[Elder Sign]

Is anyone else strongly reminded of a sonic screwdriver?  Does this mean Hanners is a Time Lord/Lady? 

"I'm the Doctor, and I end messes."

Considering Jeph has apparently moved to Nova Scotia(?), he also just went forward a time zone from Eastern to Atlantic, so I'm guessing he has a little jet lag on top of the aforementioned being-busy-unpacking-stuff.

What, like two-thirds of the strips since about #2800? 

[Neko_Ali]

A sonic screwdriver? Don't be silly. It's clearly a machine that goes byoooo

[chaospersonified]

"I'm the Doctor, and I end messes."

Dude, I have seen every episode since 2005 at least twice and seen a significant chunk of Classic Who. I was not reminded in the slightest bit, though I could absolutely see the 11th Doctor saying that, then proceeding to make an even larger mess.

[hedgie]

It probably is a decontamination ray, considering the note and Hanners' obsession with keeping everything clean.  She may have stolen Claire's thunder, but at least the piercing site would now be germ-free.

Well, the whole shining-green aspect reminded me of 11/12's screwdriver. 

(click to show/hide)

Plus, I was riffing a bit off one of the recent promos, which have 12 saying "I'm the Doctor, and I save people."

[mustang6172]

It's clearly a device for sorting out real people from doppelgangers.

[Neko_Ali]

Are you saying that Marten kissed a Zygon?

[DSL]

It's an ansible. The folks on Gethen really like Claire's nose ring, and asked Hanners to pass the message along.

[Tova]

It's an advanced device for inducing paranoia.

[KOK]

A late reaction to Monday's comic. This stanza is rather well known among speakers of Danish:

To der elsker hinanden
kan volde hinanden mer' ondt
end alle de argeste fjender
der hćvner sig verden rundt.

Two who love one another
can cause each other more pain
than all the most bitter enemies
revenging around the earth.

[wlewisiii]

Liked simply for "Ansible"...

[Y]

I thought it was some kind of tricorder, like: Staph: 7.9 billion bacteria, Strep: 4.1 billion bacteria,..., new nose ring.

[BenRG]

Hannelore, it is traditional that one tries to work out what the gadget is before you randomly fire it at acquaintances.

Knowing her dad, it is unlikely to be directly harmful but it is sure to be something weird. Maybe something like a synaptic mapper paired with a 3D holographic imager so that her dad can build AIs that mimic all her friends' bodies and personalities, so she doesn't have to worry about human germs anymore!

It also scans for all biological imperfections. "Ooh! That's a nasty ingrown toenail!"

Alternately, it's just a Star Wars toy that flashes green and makes a 'Byooo' noise when you pull the trigger. Dr Elicott-Chatham still hasn't got used to the fact that Hannelore isn't 13 years old anymore.

[Perfectly Reasonable]

Is this why there are no 'specials' on the blackboard?

"Notice anything different about me?" is a Dangerous Question. You should know better, Claire.

[Doc]

It's either a Byoooty or a Byoootyfier.

[Arancaytar]

Timey Wimey detector; goes ding when there's stuff.

[Welu]

I love Claire's piercing and confidence to experiment with her experience, but Jeph, I'm asking now, please don't cut her hair. I still miss Emily's long hair.

[hedgie]

Claire's hair would consume any scissors that went anywhere near it.
