enchantedsleeper
2024-11-03 03:06:37 +0000 UTCImagine Faye coming up to the bar to sit for a bit (but gently declining another drink from Emmett and getting a water instead). She overhears some of what Anh is saying and gives her a bit of advice from her own experience of grappling with queer feelings - without having any idea that Anh is talking about Hanners xD
enchantedsleeper
2024-10-31 09:56:37 +0000 UTCSo... Faye, then XD
enchantedsleeper
2024-10-31 09:52:39 +0000 UTCSomeone else commented on it, but he's doing some nice subtle things with light and shading that make it feel more dimensional.

enchantedsleeper
2024-10-30 00:03:37 +0000 UTCIs Jeph handling perspective differently lately, or is there just an unusual depth of field in this number?
Ursus Ridens
2024-10-29 03:56:08 +0000 UTCBookbeard, this is why I used the word press. As in firmer than before maybe with some explanation he feels or sees as justification.
Carrie
2024-10-29 02:51:38 +0000 UTCBecause Hanners is wealthier than she is.
Rob Vary
2024-10-29 02:31:53 +0000 UTCI think I'm in love with Anh. She needs to become a regular character.

Todd Ellner
2024-10-28 20:37:31 +0000 UTCBecause people who have no morals do have Standards. More importantly, there is no reason to needlessly turn potential allies into enemies.
Todd Ellner

Ísabel Pirsic
2024-10-28 16:58:09 +0000 UTCAnh is honest, seems to have a sentimental streak, and doesn't seem to bear grudges. I'd truest Tai and Cleo's judgement on her, and they keep her around.
Philip Masters
2024-10-28 16:06:03 +0000 UTCHanners may have realised that Fay, for all her other virtues, isn't really mediator material.
Philip Masters
2024-10-28 15:44:31 +0000 UTCHer categories aren't limited to "rich" and "boring"; she's happy to hang out with Tai and Cleo, and then there are the people she wants to shag. So you can add "attractive" and "entertaining and non-threatening" to the list, for a start. But she does tend to open dealings with new people with "seduce" if they're attractive, "intimidate" otherwise. But "intimidate" bounces right off Hanners, and she can't fit her into any other categories, so her brain has got scrambled and reset to "seduce".
Philip Masters
2024-10-28 15:41:46 +0000 UTCShe's amusing to watch and doesn't really try to hurt people unless she has a clear reason. That makes her worth keeping around as a friend. From this, she's apparently become part of a fairly tight group of friends. Now, one of that group is getting married; excluding any of them from the bridesmaid group would be blatantly hostile and mean and might destroy the group. So you invite her along, ask her nicely not to let her libido cause trouble, and appreciate the tear she shed at the ceremony.
Philip Masters
2024-10-28 15:35:25 +0000 UTCShe still wants to bang Hannelore, just not her boring friend.
William Cole
2024-10-28 15:17:17 +0000 UTCI dunno. Isn't she kinda Kinsey-six lesbian? She might prefer to politely refuse offers of MFF threesomes.
Philip Masters
2024-10-28 15:17:08 +0000 UTCShe is a very well-brought-up heiress. I'm sure that she is generally terribly polite about being mean to people. It's an art. Plus, it looks like she doesn't actually go round being horrible to everybody on sight. Despite the comedy set-up, she's really not unremittingly evil. She may be stunningly rude when she feels it's necessary, but she mostly preserves the niceties. Being *pointlessly* rude just alienates people and makes life more difficult.

2024-10-28 14:38:30 +0000 UTCAt least Tai has her head on straight (pun not intended)
Huw Morgan
2024-10-28 14:35:19 +0000 UTCWait, why is Ann worried about *politely* declining something?
JourneymanWizard
2024-10-28 14:03:27 +0000 UTCThis is a fun thought.
Carrie
2024-10-28 11:50:19 +0000 UTCI'm sure she's never tried. Declining that is.
Clifton Royston
2024-10-28 10:52:33 +0000 UTCThis is literally a Dresden Kodak comic :)

David Paul
2024-10-28 09:39:26 +0000 UTCA suplex is just an over-complicated 69.
David Paul
2024-10-28 09:37:04 +0000 UTCNow I'm imagining Maxwell's Demon using Occam's Razor to make Pascal's Wager on the Ship of Theseus while sailing towards Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
Mad Marie
2024-10-28 09:24:27 +0000 UTCHonestly, how much experience does Tai have with politely declining threesomes?
Dean Reilly
2024-10-28 09:22:09 +0000 UTCOkay, but if Claire is standing right there then I need to know what she thinks of this situation XD Because I feel like she'd find it *hilarious*. Or she could Librarian Anh into leaving Hanners alone.
enchantedsleeper
2024-10-28 09:17:26 +0000 UTCI misread that as "weed", and I think some weed would probably help
enchantedsleeper
2024-10-28 09:14:09 +0000 UTCTheory: Anh was not actually invited to be a bridesmaid; she assumed her way in the door.
Mad Marie
2024-10-28 09:13:08 +0000 UTCIt might be a five, the amount of cleaning equipment Hanners would require is probably sufficient to be considered its own entity
Ste Saunders
2024-10-28 08:11:29 +0000 UTCIt wouldn't be a threesome, Anh, Marten is in a happy relationship. It would be a foursome.
Nulgar
2024-10-28 07:25:47 +0000 UTCThe wedding is grant-funded and getting Anh out of the house for the day was a stipulation of the grant?
Bill Silvia
2024-10-28 07:19:44 +0000 UTCIf briding wasn't already an exhausting affair, I would agree. A bi person who is not currently being wedded would be very welcome to give some perspective.
Bill Silvia
2024-10-28 07:17:32 +0000 UTCTai and Marten should totally both be mediators
Bagge
2024-10-28 07:09:16 +0000 UTCI once saw Occam and Hanlon get into a knife fight in a car park.
Diptych
2024-10-28 06:38:07 +0000 UTCIf they got Veronica involved, in could be Anh no Dom(me)ine.
William Cole
2024-10-28 06:07:28 +0000 UTCTo be fair, Anh has appeared in less than 10 strips so far, and Hannelore has probably had 1000, and two substantial changes in personality along the way. She was kind of a creepy stalker at the beginning. I'd be willing to give Anh a chance and see how she develops, if she becomes a regular.
Clifton Royston
2024-10-28 06:01:26 +0000 UTC@Mad Marie: I suppose most people assumed the hypothetical that you had your own razor? Perhaps they were all borrowing Occam's razor on that occasion.
Clifton Royston
2024-10-28 05:49:45 +0000 UTCMaybe Anh once rescued Tai by pulling her out of the path of a runaway invisible emu, and now Tai owes her an incalculable debt. It could have happened. You can do anything in backstory!
Clifton Royston
2024-10-28 05:45:11 +0000 UTCI'm getting more the impression that Anh experiences the whole world as either "people I want to fuck" or "people who want to fuck me", and from her viewpoint there is not nearly enough overlap between these two groups. (This might be only how she feels right now in the grips of HORNY, and not life in general.) Thus the last previous conversation - if Anh didn't want to fuck Hanners, then it must mean that Hanners wants to fuck her - but no! She is now trying to comprehend how Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham, whom Anh can not ignore because she is Rich, could possibly be neither one of these two groups. Add a 3rd person, Marten, and she immediately resets back to default.
Clifton Royston
2024-10-28 05:42:21 +0000 UTCAnh, no 2024...

jonesnori
2024-10-28 04:21:36 +0000 UTCHe already *said* he wanted to open a coffee shop, based on my vast experience of "coffee shop web comics" isn't that *already* destined to be his path?
Mark Eichin
2024-10-28 04:17:20 +0000 UTC"there is no other possible explanation other than people want me" lol
djellafine
2024-10-28 04:14:02 +0000 UTCYou know, I think Hanners inadvertently nailed Marten's ideal career path here. With his chill demeanor he would be phenomenal as a professional mediator. And with the kind of over-the-top personalities that Cubetown attracts, that's probably a service they could really use.
BookBeard
2024-10-28 04:12:59 +0000 UTCYeah, but as a *bridesmaid*?

Clifton Royston
2024-10-28 04:04:32 +0000 UTCThe vibe I'm getting is "old friend you feel obligated to invite even though you don't really want to."
BookBeard
2024-10-28 04:03:36 +0000 UTCClearly Anh would just interpret a suplex as another come-on.
Clifton Royston
2024-10-28 04:02:42 +0000 UTCThe space princess role was always a better fit for her than heiress. "Okay Anh, let's get dinner!" *pizza crashes from orbit*
BookBeard
2024-10-28 04:01:04 +0000 UTCStrike that last, Tai's face shows that Anh's already succeeded in annoying Tai again. How *did* she get invited as a bridesmaid?
Clifton Royston
2024-10-28 04:01:01 +0000 UTCA suplex is the answer to this problem.
Dan Curtis

Clifton Royston
2024-10-28 02:57:28 +0000 UTCOn which side, someone else's bold misconceptions of what you were up to, or as the one holding the misconceptions of what someone else is up to? (In one particular social disaster I think I was both.)
Clifton Royston
2024-10-28 02:53:37 +0000 UTCNight is falling on the wedding reception and Anh's bold misconceptions are not yet corrected. Can Marten's power of chill aura save the evening? Or can he at least get Anh out of Hanners' hair and back to annoying Tai or Sven?
Clifton Royston
2024-10-28 02:50:58 +0000 UTCYes! This is how I've been feeling about *everything* since the time-skip to the wedding.
Clifton Royston
2024-10-28 02:48:35 +0000 UTCThat's what I said too!
Adarsh Nednur
2024-10-28 02:46:09 +0000 UTCOooooh, Ahn thinks that she's great so Hanners must be trying to get with her or something.
Davus Otho
2024-10-28 02:45:54 +0000 UTCMy Anh Theory is that she divides people into a) boring, and b) rich like me. But now she has met someone who is fabulously rich, but who presents as a Boring Tribe member also. Anh literally has no idea how to relate to Hanners, so she’s trying on various approaches from her sadly limited repertoire of social connections.
Holly Nelson
2024-10-28 02:44:52 +0000 UTCYou may be, but I like the way you think.
awgiedawgie
2024-10-28 02:42:21 +0000 UTCAt this point, I’d like Hanners to channel a teeny-tiny bit of her mother, completely out-heiress Ahn, and scare an inkling of manners into her. I may be evil.
Nancie
2024-10-28 02:38:36 +0000 UTCActually, no. Iris is capable of real affection. She just isn't capable of expressing it. Anh, so far, has zero redeeming characteristics.
Carl Fink
2024-10-28 02:24:38 +0000 UTCThe funny part is how Jeph anticipated your thought and gave Fay an excuse to not be around for this. Hey, where's Penelope? Where's Emily, who used to work at the library? Were they in the background somewhere?
Carl Fink
2024-10-28 02:22:43 +0000 UTCOccam's Threesome? That sounds unlikely, and yet... I'll see myself out.
Kelcrow
2024-10-28 02:17:16 +0000 UTCYeah, but he would assume he just misplaced it.
BookBeard
2024-10-28 02:15:43 +0000 UTCDoris is Marvin's friend, she just married Tay. Geez, some people just don't pay attention...
BookBeard
2024-10-28 02:13:29 +0000 UTCWell, Occam would at least notice his razor going missing…
Jon
2024-10-28 02:11:11 +0000 UTCBeyond Ahn being a piece of work. I feel as if Jeph put some extra work into the shading/lighting of this issue.
Chauncey
2024-10-28 02:08:57 +0000 UTCFun fact: Occam's razor can be used to shave stripes off of zebras to make them regular horses.
Mad Marie
2024-10-28 02:08:51 +0000 UTCHappy ending: the Bros show up, take her up to Sven's room and rail her until she forgets about Hanners, them, and possibly her own name in a haze of neurotransmitters and hormones
Todd Ellner
2024-10-28 02:07:54 +0000 UTCOne time I borrowed Occam's razor to shave my legs, but then realized that most likely nobody would notice (or care).
Mad Marie
2024-10-28 02:04:59 +0000 UTCI'm holding out for "Men Who Crawl Out From Under Rocks and the Women Who Take Them Home". Worldwide bestseller. But nobody buys it for herself. It's always for a friend
Todd Ellner

Chauncey
2024-10-28 02:03:19 +0000 UTCAt this point, he’s less the main character and more the absolute force that instigates the story’s events. Almost like the “deus” for the QC machina.

2024-10-28 01:18:53 +0000 UTCIt's not the first time people have made this assumption about Marten. I guess he just has that vibe? https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=861 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1402

2024-10-28 01:14:40 +0000 UTCI think Doris's wife needs better taste in friends. Someone needs to tell Anh that Marten is the Librarian's consort.
