Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Too bad it had to get the switch during guest week. It would have been nice to start things off with discussing the actual storyline. Hey, wait a minute, how long has it been since we saw angus?

Well, he was in 2175, but the last time we saw him speaking was 2149. Also, thanks for the excuse to reread the past few comics. :smallbiggrin:

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
I really liked the last strips occurring at the Coffee of Doom.
It truly felt the good old classic QC. Witty and grounded.
-
Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
I like how QC can change stuff and then go back and show us that it still really sticks to its basics too.

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
It looks like Dora's landed a good way of avoiding having to babysit the girl ever again. I wonder if she could use Faye somehow to get out of jury duty.

She's not. That's a butterfly knife.

I didn't know there was sizzling involved when doing... THAT. But... I don't think it really smells like barbecue... (Does it? :smalleek:)

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
This current arc makes me feel very uncomfortable. :smalleek:
-
Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
What, about letting a child use a blowtorch, play with a butterfly knife, learn a choke hold, and handle alcohol? What could possibly go wrong? :smalltongue:
-
Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Hm... I guess the arc was a bit point...poor but Faye's babysitting method seems legit.
So... is Dora that much of an control freak or can't she handle rejection... even if it was mutual?
-
Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
She has serious self esteem issues that she compensates for by trying to control everything around her. Anything that is even a tertiary rejection of her in some way is enough to trigger her self doubt which makes her upset, which makes her lash out. Take way back when marten got his hair cut and she got upset. She basically took the fact that he didnt ask her about it first as a statement that her opinion isnt wanted and so she lashed out and got upset. Any unexpected event that could be taken as a rejection of her, or otherwise implies that she isnt important gets that reaction.
As for this comic, I admit to being disturbed. Also, did Winslow get upgraded to a tablet or something? He seems bigger.
-
Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Yeah, I don't remember Winslow being nearly that large.
-
Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Maybe he's now iPad-based. Innovation = more bigger.

He's always been that size. Or at least close to that size.

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
I have to admit, Momo's little hat is pretty cute.
-
Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
I actually thought he'd gotten smaller for a little bit. I guess it has to do with him now being moreso compared to the size of Momo's torso rather than anyone else's.

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Is this some sort of meme here I'm not familiar with, or have Hanners and Marigold simply gone completely nuts? :smallconfused:

I'm not sure if there's something being referenced that I'm not familiar with, or if it's just a throw-away gag that I don't get.

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
The tiny hats are obviously the propagation method for Station, who infects and takes over all AIs who wear them. They use pheromone generators to command humanoids to place them on AIs. The reason Marten wearing the tiny hat didn't evoke any sort of reaction is because the propagation didn't activate.

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Sven! All my dreams have come true!

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
It took me until the last panel to realize that Sven was talking to Dora, not to Marten.

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Heh, I really like this guest comic. :smallbiggrin:

I'm not sure what triggered this response in her dad, but it can't possibly be good. However I don't possibly see how it could fail to entertain.:smallbiggrin:

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
I always find the general sentiment regarding Sven's sexual activities demonstrated by the QC crowd to be rather reprehensible. If they took issue with the dubious tactics he occasionally employed, that would be more understandable. As is they tend to just be upset that he has(had) a lot of sex. Why are they judging him for what he did with consenting adults? Most of the time we saw him having an encounter, the other party was more than willing. Don't even get me started on how everyone handled the him/faye situation...
But um... yeah I like drama XD
-
Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Well there have been a few signs of shady behavior. Like that one girl sven tried to get marten to distract for him. Remember? The whole, "I must have tripped over my enormous wang. Damn thing is like a malicious ball python." comic? So he could also be a major player who strings girls along as well as having his mutual one night stands.

To quote myself:

It's just weird that a group of sexually progressive people so frequently judges the tendencies of others.
-
Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Just because people are okay with sexual expression, they don't automatically agree that all forms of it are OK. Only two of the characters in the strip (Tai and Sven) have really deviated much from the generally-accepted social norm, and the other characters were just as uncomfortable with Tai's ployamory as with Sven's extreme promiscuity. It's not really out of character for them.

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
One thing Jeph is very good at is having his characters be the same kind of bundles of contradictions we all are in real life. Yes, people are perfectly fine with consenting adults having sex whenever and with whoever they want. Yes, they will look down on friends who do exactly that.
There is nobody in the world each of us is better at lying to than ourselves.

Well... I for myself can say I really differentiate between different kind of people who have many sex partners...
I guess it is patronizing but I often feel with a few of my female friends they say they search for a steady relationship and then they go to the worst possible places and pick the worst possible guys. Which would be fine if they just want to have sex but with a relationship in mind... Maybe it's just me.

This is my third day and I still got almost 900 pages left to go.

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
So... nothing on the new arc... I'm a but worried about the ethnicities - if that's what you want to call it - of the new employees... a redhead, an afro-amareican and what I guess should be an Asian... Is Jeph trying to up the variety in the comic?
Also, how much did I miss out on if I never saw Adventure time?

Couldn't hurt, considering the number of times there's been a 'new' character/scene filler where it's basically Faye or Dora wearing different accessories. I'd be surprised if any of these girls become regular characters or even recurring secondary characters, tho.

Is it just me or does that shorter girl look like the love child of Faye and Padma?

If that's true then it makes the red head the love child of Clinton and pizza girl Penelope.
-
Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
I always thought that the characters' grief with Sven's personal life had more to do with his attitude towards women, which then influenced how he treated them. Compare to his situation with Faye, who got through his self-protective shell & became more than just some chick he got it on with.
Spoiler
Show
...And I've never known any hipster anywhere ever who rashly and unfairly judged someone on quick perceptions, in the history of judgement, perceptions, and everything everywhere, ever. :smallwink:
And regardless of accessories, I do miss Penny-Lope.

Nothing. You could insert any random "cool" cartoon of any time and place into this joke.

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Martin's eyes kind of bug me in the last panel, especially in conjunction with the little smile thing happening. It almost looks like an ogling expression, and while Martin is a professional indie girl ogler, it hardly seems the time or the place.
-
Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
I fail to see a "little smile thing". To me, Marten just looks like a dude who's in way over his head.
Also, what is a hazing ritual?

Well, the corners of his mouth are turned up , but it's not really a grimace.

Yeah, it looks like he's oggling but the situation makes it clear that it's not the kind of blank 'omg, look at dat ass' but 'omg, I have no idea what's going on' look. Also, I don't think he's go for the redhead in the trio but that's just me guessing.

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Redhead is apparently incredibly easy to frustrate. Not liking the character so far, though I have a feeling she might be the most likely to end up working at the library if only one of them can be chosen in the end. If so, she'll probably suffer a breakdown at some point, if she hasn't already several times.

Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Gabby is definitely a faye clone, emily has actually looked related to dora in a few frames, when the angle made her eyes look less asian at least. They all have similarities, but only gabby seems like a direct copy with a color change.
-
Re: Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease
Emily has the best reason ever for working in a library.

Actually, she looks like Dora/Padma's head on Faye's body. She even seems a bit fatter and smaller than Faye, but that might just be because she's next to the very tall Emily.
Who is my favorite of these three new characters, by way. Indeed the best reason.
