Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Now that's a question for the ages
Should you remain prude in front of your companion robot, or it's like getting nekkid in front of a pet?

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Can we just feed Marten to an allosaurus already?
R.I.P. Wrecan, he was a true organizer and a gentleman.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Well, obviously in case of Pintsize the answer is "god no, don't do it, for the love of all that is good in this world". Otherwise... I guess it would feel a bit more awkward inf front of Momo than e.g. in case of Winslow but... it's kind of personal preference. And maybe something you should take about with him/her beforehand.
If we ever find out.
Though, I'm curious if Jeph based this on a personal experience or not...

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
At least now we know why marigold isnt freaking out. Because its marten depression week. We have to focus on him crying over how much it sucks not having a girlfriend that cares about you and who you care about and how empty meaningless sex feels. Its like listening to a subtle abstinence ad, with humor.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
I've been following this comic for years, and I've really grown to hate almost every character. Every year they seem to grow more unbearable. At first it was Faye but by now it's almost the whole cast.
Maybe because there isnt any character growth? I dunno, has anyone else experienced this?I can do a thousand now.

I'm certainly getting sick of Marten's whining and moping.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
I would ask why you keep following the comic then but I recall there are just a lot of people who love following bad stuff just to complain about it...
Well, usually I'm much more interested in the humor when I follow a story (at least a story like that) but there's definitely character growth at least for a few people... Hanners, Marbear, a while ago somewhat for Faye...
Although, in general, I think character growth is overrated. Not everybody needs to change for a story to work. Some people are just the way they are and they are fine with it. (Well, Marten is not fine with how he is himself but still)

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Faye looked at the beginning like that kind of character who is a jerk but when you get close to her she happens to be a kind and nice person to her friends...only that, in Faye's case, she's a jerk but when you get close to her she happens to be a jerk to her friends too. But it's OK, because her friends apparently like that. And she acts as if she were awesome and had the right to treat everybody like crap.
I think that Hanners and Momo are quite likeable, and they are growing and evolving. I like Dale too.
Samantha and Raven are funny. I kind of like Cosette and Penelope too.
Marten is kind of meh...the guy is kind of nice, yes, but only because he's polite and never does anything out of malice...he doesn't really does anything too look him up for. I'm quite neutral to him, he's background.
Dora started as super-cool awesomepants perfect girlfriend, and was later downgraded to normal messed human being (which is in fact, cool). I'm quite neutral to her too.
I strongly dislike Clinton, and I'm neutral to Claire, Emily and Tai.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
I think I've been following the comic for ten years, or very close to that long. It's not a bad comic, it's just populated by ****ty people.
Ive followed OotS for a similar period of time, and it wasnt until really recently when I started going back through old story arcs that I realized just how awesome of a writer the Giant is. There's been real character development. And an overarching plot, too, which maybe helps.
QC the characters arent going anywhere in their own lives and they arent going anywhere in their relationships. Ten years of it and I've sort of realized the point of the comic, I guess. I used to think it was funny, 4 panels and a gag, or a week story arc and whacky hijinks. But looking back on a decade of these people's lives, it's almost a tragedy. Which would be unfair to call someone's mediocre life a tragedy, but christ it's like they're still 20.
I guess you could say the same about Peanuts or the Simpsons, though.I can do a thousand now.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Or Seinfeld. Or Friends for the first half of the run (I wouldn't know about the second half since I didn't watch much of it from after 1999). Or Doonesbury before the musical. Or pretty much any webcomic that doesn't have much in the way of plot continuity. The reason why it's more noticeable than usual here is because this is a combination gag-a-day and character-driven strip, which means it can get away with the minimal standards of continuity common to comedy-based comics while also introducing some measure of continuity as fast or as slowly as it cares to. And that's why some characters develop while others just disappear for years on end and reappear completely unchanged. And why Marten's entire life gets to be a punchline.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
I THINK at the start of the comic Marten and Faye were 21/22 while Dora was 25 or so. And Hanners had her, I wanna say, 22 birthday during the comic, when Sven and Faye hooked up initially.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Nothing that even. You could have a couple weeks worth of updates to cover a single party. You also got some time skips here and there, though not huge ones or anything. Im sure if you tried hard enough you could figure out some sort of timeline, or be lazy and ask jeph.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Turns out that Jeph had a reason to show Mopey Marten on Friday. So I'll give him a pass.
Marten even got a bit of self-realization out of it, so win-win
============================
Edited so to not Double Post:
============================
I'd completely forgotten about the way Hannalore acted the last time Marigold had some luck with the opposite sex. Or, indeed, when she decided to be the Town Crier in regards to that occurance.
Should be interesting to see how Hanners reacts this time. Though I suppose it might just depend on who she hears the news from.Last edited by Porthos; 2014-02-17 at 03:36 AM.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Well, she might explode from... not sure what to call this.
Anyway, Dale, if you think that's the best day of your life just wait until you start doing the really fun stuff. (Though, starting out with maple syrup I guess it was quite a bit more interesting than most first times)

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Back to the topiv of time passing. This was apparently months since he and faye broke it off. I didnt feel like tracking down their breakup date, but if someone does we can at least see how much went on in between.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
I'm afraid those only work when he got just laid... which would make for some weird situations in the shop...
I'm not quite sure if I'm entirely comfortable with the "casual sex makes you miserable, relation ship sex makes you happy" message, intended or not. Not to promote random casual sex but... Or it's not about casual sex but about Marten being Marten.

You've got to remember that it was also Dale losing his virginity. No wonder he is happy.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
(in case anyone is wondering how I knew that..)
Sometimes you just know
And, frankly, that is the way it should go, with someone you really like and have for a while
